the docs site generator from the rspack team just dropped legacy support. rspress 2.0, out september 21, requires node 20 and react 18.

your docs build is now a real build.

Context

Rspress's blog post announcing Rspress 2.0 is dated January 30, 2026. It describes Rspress as a static site generator built on Rsbuild for documentation sites, says 1.x went through 144 releases, and states that Rspress 2.0 requires Node.js 20 or newer and React 18 or newer. The post also headlines a theme, AI-native docs and Rslib integration, and a migration guide covers the move from 1.x. Search snippets show InfoQ covering the release on March 8, 2026.

How it compares

The requirements match the note, but no source dated September 21, 2026 was found, and the first-party announcement of 2.0 is dated January 30, so out september 21 is unverified and conflicts with that date. A later 2.x release on September 21 may exist but was not located. The exact list of removed legacy features was not summarized from the migration page. Your docs build is now a real build is the author's take.

Watch next

  • Whether a September 2026 Rspress release exists.
