#9513 e44f6acf99195a3f29b8390fd9b2c06410551b74 Thanks @wtto00! - Adds a 'load' prefetch strategy to prefetch links on page load
#9377 fe719e27a84c09e46b515252690678c174a25759 Thanks @bluwy! - Adds "Missing ARIA roles check" and "Unsupported ARIA roles check" audit rules for the dev toolbar
#9573 2a8b9c56b9c6918531c57ec38b89474571331aee Thanks @bluwy! - Allows passing a string to --open and server.open to open a specific URL on startup in development
#9544 b8a6fa8917ff7babd35dafb3d3dcd9a58cee836d Thanks @bluwy! - Adds a helpful error for static sites when you use the astro preview command if you have not previously run astro build.

#9546 08402ad5846c73b6887e74ed4575fd71a3e3c73d Thanks @bluwy! - Adds an option for the Sharp image service to allow large images to be processed. Set limitInputPixels: false to bypass the default image size limit:

// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';

export default defineConfig({
  image: {
    service: {
      entrypoint: 'astro/assets/services/sharp',
      config: {
        limitInputPixels: false,
      },
    },
  },
});

#9596 fbc26976533bbcf2de9d6dba1aa3ea3dc6ce0853 Thanks @Princesseuh! - Adds the ability to set a rootMargin setting when using the client:visible directive. This allows a component to be hydrated when it is near the viewport, rather than hydrated when it has entered the viewport.
```

<Component client:visible={{ rootMargin: '200px' }} />
```

#9063 f33fe3190b482a42ebc68cc5275fd7f2c49102e6 Thanks @alex-sherwin! - Cookie encoding / decoding can now be customized

Adds new encode and decode functions to allow customizing how cookies are encoded and decoded. For example, you can bypass the default encoding via encodeURIComponent when adding a URL as part of a cookie:

---
import { encodeCookieValue } from './cookies';
Astro.cookies.set('url', Astro.url.toString(), {
  // Override the default encoding so that URI components are not encoded
  encode: (value) => encodeCookieValue(value),
});
---

Later, you can decode the URL in the same way:

---
import { decodeCookieValue } from './cookies';
const url = Astro.cookies.get('url', {
  decode: (value) => decodeCookieValue(value),
});
---
