Welcome back! Those last 3 weeks have been truly crazy! First of all, [Evan’s State of Vuenion 2021 talk at Vue.js Amsterdam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El8Jw2CFj7g) where he is covering the recent developments in the Vue ecosystem. How Vue is doing (like [NASA using it to drive their mission control system](https://github.com/nasa/openmct)), new releases, and future plans! The recording ends with the announcement and highlights from [Monterail](https://www.monterail.com/?utm_campaign=Vue.js%20News&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Revue%20newsletter)’s annual State of Vue report, which you can download [here](https://www.monterail.com/state-of-vue-2021-report?utm_campaign=Vue.js%20News&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Revue%20newsletter). Vite – the frontend build tool everyone is crazy about [has hit v2](https://dev.to/yyx990803/announcing-vite-2-0-2f0a?utm_campaign=Vue.js%20News&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Revue%20newsletter). It is a big milestone for the project as it is no longer limited to Vue only (though I would recommend using it for Vue projects starting now). Next – Vuex 5. Wait, what? Five? Hasn’t version 4 been released just recently? Yes, it was, but it was a mostly backward-compatible port of Vuex 3 dedicated to Vue 3.0. Version 5 on the other hand is a completely new state management library. Although it still keeps some ideas from the Vuex you know (and the name), it presents a new approach to state management. Why? The Vuex team has learned a lot from the limitations and pain-points of the current implementation and decided it is time to move forward with new ideas. Make sure to read the [RFC](https://github.com/kiaking/rfcs/blob/vuex-5/active-rfcs/0000-vuex-5.md) and join the [discussion](https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/discussions/270). That’s not all! Read the stories below for more news regarding i18n, Vuetify, Nuxt and the upcoming (free!) [VueConf.us](https://vueconf.us/) conference happening on April 14th!
