| ##### @vitejs/plugin-react-swc (new) | ||
|
|
||
| [@vitejs/plugin-react-swc](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react-swc) is a new plugin that uses esbuild during build, but replaces Babel with SWC during development. For big projects that don't require non-standard React extensions, HMR will be significantly faster. |

HMR and cold starts will be significantly faster.

| #### New React plugin using SWC during development | ||
|
|
||
| [SWC](https://swc.rs/) is now a mature option for [Babel](https://babeljs.io/). SWC's Fast Refresh implementation is a lot faster than Babel, and for some projects, it is now a better alternative. |

Is a word missing in the first sentence or this is an english form I'm not used to?

Should it be:
SWC is now a mature replacement for Babel.
?

| #### Compatibility | ||
|
|
||
| The modern browser build now targets `safari14` by default for wider ES2020 compatibility (https://github.com/vitejs/vite/issues/9063). This means that by default [`BigInt`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt) doesn't need to be polyfilled and [nullish coallessing](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Nullish_coalescing) isn't transpiled anymore. If you need to support older browsers, you can add [`@vitejs/plugin-legacy`](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/tree/main/packages/plugin-legacy) as usual. |

Putting a note here that BigInt can't be polyfilled. That's why we get a fair amount of issues previously as esbuild will error directly if it encounters one.
