- [#4045](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/4045) [`a397b981f`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/a397b981f5f46dee85e6e00aa39633d018d4b9a2) Thanks [@tony-sull](https://github.com/tony-sull)! - Big improvements to the TypeScript and Language Tools support for `@astrojs/image` :tada:
- [#4015](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/4015) [`6fd161d76`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/6fd161d7691cbf9d3ffa4646e46059dfd0940010) Thanks [@matthewp](https://github.com/matthewp)! - New `output` configuration option
This change introduces a new "output target" configuration option (`output`). Setting the output target lets you decide the format of your final build, either:
-`"static"` (default): A static site. Your final build will be a collection of static assets (HTML, CSS, JS) that you can deploy to any static site host.
-`"server"`: A dynamic server application. Your final build will be an application that will run in a hosted server environment, generating HTML dynamically for different requests.
If `output` is omitted from your config, the default value `"static"` will be used.
When using the `"server"` output target, you must also include a runtime adapter via the `adapter` configuration. An adapter will _adapt_ your final build to run on the deployed platform of your choice (Netlify, Vercel, Node.js, Deno, etc).
To migrate: No action is required for most users. If you currently define an `adapter`, you will need to also add `output: 'server'` to your config file to make it explicit that you are building a server. Here is an example of what that change would look like for someone deploying to Netlify:
```diff
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import netlify from '@astrojs/netlify/functions';
export default defineConfig({
adapter: netlify(),
+ output: 'server',
});
```
