Huge new features

This release feels more like a 4.0 (with no breaking changes) for us rather than simply 3.1, but here we go:

• feat(app-vite): Add SSG mode, with optional PWA takeover and partial CSR
• feat(app-vite): Add Hybrid SSR + partial CSR mode
• perf(app-vite): Improve SSR development and production runtime performance
• feat(app-vite): Resolve App Extension assets and injected ~ references relative to the extension package, including dependencies nested within its pnpm dependency tree

Other new features

• feat(app-vite): Add support for Pinia v4
• feat(app-vite): Add new quasar.config > ssr options: clientSideRenderingRoutes, noPreloadTagRoutes, and extendSSRManifestJson
• feat(app-vite): Harden ctx.mode typing
• feat+fix(app-vite): Ensure development and production use the same serialize-javascript package when needed, providing predictable output
• feat(app-vite): Enhance logger.progress() with an optional { target?: string; doneAction?: string } parameter
• feat(app-vite): Improve SSR manifest and preload processing, including route-specific preload control
• feat(docs): Revamped all Quasar CLI pages. They now include updated and more useful content.

Notes on upgrading

If you use @intlify/unplugin-vue-i18n, update its ssr option so it also recognizes SSG mode: ssr: ctx.mode.ssr || ctx.mode.ssg. This ensures the plugin applies the appropriate server-rendering behavior in both SSR and SSG builds.
