Hello friends 👋
March is a wrap, and we had a fantastic month with some exciting news for Solid! v2.0.0 Beta is here, and the Start v2 roadmap is out!
So, let’s kick off a new edition of This Month in Solid 😎!
Solid Updates
v2.0.0 Beta - The is Over
March started out unexpectedly. After a long Experimental phase, Ryan announced that Solid 2.0 would enter Beta directly.
In a nutshell, here are the big ideas:
- Async is first‑class
-
<Loading>is for initial readiness - Pending UI is an expression, not a flag
- Mutations have a home
- Derived state is a primitive
- A more predictable scheduler
- Dev guardrails
- DOM model cleanup
This is a huge milestone and an exciting time in the Solid world. I highly recommend you check the release notes below, as the team worked to provide you with a great description of the big ideas, some tiny examples, breaking changes you’ll notice quickly, migration guides, and in-depth dives into specific topics.

Roadmap Update: Start v2 and Ecosystem
Another exciting piece of news came from Atila halfway through March! The DeVinxi work is completed, and there are already production use cases of SolidStart v2! And the punchline is that this migration can be as simple as tweaking a max of 3 files.
Besides that, Atila provides an updated timeline of the blockers currently holding us back from moving into Beta and the impact on the ecosystem!
