Nuxt 3.14 released with a new rspack builder, shared folder, and performance enhancements

Nuxt has released version 3.14 of its popular Vue framework, introducing a range of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. The update sees the integration of jiti v2 for loading the Nuxt config file, modules, and other build-time code, resulting in faster start times. A new shared folder has been introduced, which restricts the import of Vue or nitro code but enables auto-imports throughout the app.

Version 3.14 also features a new experimental first-class Nuxt builder for rspack, achieved through the refactoring of the internal Nuxt virtual file system to utilize unplugin. Additional updates include the introduction of useResponseHeader and useRuntimeHook composables, along with a new addServerTemplate utility for adding virtual files accessible within nitro runtime routes. These changes are part of ongoing developments as the team prepares for the upcoming release of Nuxt v4.
