• experimental: Add fit and zoom controls to trace viewer

Bug Fixes

• Fail the run on git and location filter errors

• Enable fsModuleCache by default

• Track project files and mocks with --changed

• Refactor caching, fix : in project and change the shape of results cache

• Keep full $ string values when taskTitleValueFormatTruncate is 0

• Resolve node builtins in client environments

• Fix module graph builtin externals after #11421

• Wrap module mocks during in-source testing

• Handle line endings in snapshot

• Respect root in projects

• Resolve mocks in directories with spaces

• api: Publish the api token atomically

• browser: Close the mock route interception race

• browser: Allow toHaveTextContent without arguments

• browser: Apply API options without browser config

• browser: Preserve undefined command arguments

• browser: Wait for setup mocks before importing a test file

• browser: Avoid extra scroll outside the iframe

• browser: Run browser instances as workers

  • ⚠️ This can degrade performance if you have a custom maxWorkers setting. Previously, it was applied incorrectly and could lead to Vitest using too many resources. For example, a lower number would still open too many browsers. Fixing it means Vitest opens less instances by default now.

• browser: Open one cdp session per tester

• browser: Clean up unmocked and pending mocks

• coverage: V8 browser memory leak between test files

• coverage: allowExternal fails to include uncovered files

• coverage: Filenames containing brackets incorrectly showing as uncovered
