Kit 2026.5.8 focuses on keeping builds fast and making release checks catch build-time regressions earlier. The release improves Kit build performance, adds build speed guardrails, and includes a release preflight build benchmark so performance-sensitive changes are visible before shipping. It also hardens self-updater release verification so update checks can validate release metadata more reliably. https://kit-lang.org/blog/2026-05-08-kit-updated.html
