<observations> Date: Jul 28, 2026 * 🟡 (11:46) Astro beta release observed: PR #17027 (commit `241250b` by @ocavue) triggers beta prereleases for packages still on alpha. Affected packages: `@astrojs/mdx@7.0.0-beta.2`, `@astrojs/markdoc@2.0.0-beta.1`, `@astrojs/cloudflare@14.0.0-beta.2`, `@astrojs/alpinejs@1.0.0-beta.1`. * 🟡 (11:46) Astro release observed: astro@7.0.0-beta.3, published 2026-06-09. Major changes include removal of `astro db`, `astro login`, `astro logout`, `astro link`, and `astro init` CLI commands. `@astrojs/db` deprecated in favor of database clients (Drizzle, Kysely, etc.) directly. Advanced routing enabled by default (was experimental.advancedRouting flag in v6.3.0); default entrypoint changed from `src/app.ts` to `src/fetch.ts`. `fetchFile` moved to top-level config option (no longer nested under experimental.advancedRouting); can be set to `null` to disable. PR #16877 (commit `3b7d76e` by @matthewp). Doc: docs.astro.build/en/guides/routing/#advanced-routing. * 🟡 (11:46) Astro release observed: astro@7.0.0-beta.3 minor changes. PR #16998 (commit `57dcc31` by @matthewp) exposes `getFetchState()` from `astro/hono` as public API — retrieves/lazily creates `FetchState` from Hono context, enables third-party Hono middleware. PR #16996 (commit `300641e` by @florian-lefebvre) adds `subset` field to `FontData` type exposed via `fontData` from `astro:assets` — distinguishes font entries for different subsets sharing same weight/style. PR #16745 (commit `f864a80` by @ematipico) stabilizes custom logger feature (was experimental in v6.2.0) — allows replacing default console output with custom logging implementations (e.g., structured JSON) for use with Kibana, Logstash, CloudWatch, Grafana, Loki. Three built-in log handlers: `json`, `node`, `console`. * 🟡 (11:46) Astro release observed: astro@7.0.0-beta.3 npm release timeline extracted.
