Hello friends 👋
October is here, and with it, the eighth issue of This Month in Solid!
This was a very busy month, from RFCs to new releases and starting SolidHack.
Before we start looking at what happened, the usual review of how This Month in Solid works.
The format
Inspired by Ryan Carniato This Week in JavaScript and Sébastien Lorber This Week In React, I plan to publish a compilation of updates, posts, and videos about the Solid world at the end of every month.
Each post will be split in the following way:
- Solid Updates: updates from the core team, organization, or documentation.
- Ecosystem Updates: updates from people building stuff for or with Solid.
- Found online: videos, posts, and tweets about Solid and/or Solid-related topics.
- Things to look out for: announced things related to Solid and its community.
The goal is to give you a monthly update about all things SolidJS. So, without further ado, let's dive into our eighth This Month in Solid.
Solid Updates
RFC - Metadata & JSX Head Tags
For a while, we have resorted to Solid-Meta to handle head tags. Meanwhile, a discussion emerged in which Ryan researched and proposed the possibility of having Solid Core handle this.
You can read more about it and leave your thoughts here: github.com/solidjs/solid/discussions/2294
Solid v1.9.0 - LGTM!
On the path to Solid 2.0, some adjustments and improvements need to be made. In this release, you should expect the following things:
- Better JSX Validation
- Improved Exports
- Custom Element improvements
- Support for handleEvent Syntax in Non-Delegated Events
- and more

SolidHack 2024 has started
SolidHack 2024 has started, and to match the hype and interest we are seeing from you, we have increased our prize pool to $20,000.
We also announced our Award Categories and our Challenges (exciting!!!)
