+View Transitions unflagged
+
+View Transition support in Astro is now unflagged. For those who have used the experimental feature you can remove the flag in your Astro config:
+
+```diff
+import { defineConfig } from 'astro'
+
+export default defineConfig({
+-  experimental: {
+-    viewTransitions: true,
+-  }
+})
+```
+
+After removing this flag, please also consult the specific [upgrade to v3.0 advice](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/view-transitions/#upgrade-to-v30-from-v2x) as some API features have changed and you may have breaking changes with your existing view transitions.
+
+See the [View Transitions guide](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/view-transitions/) to learn how to use the API.
