## [1.0.0-rc.2] - 2026-01-28

⚡ Lazy Barrel Optimization

- Skips compilation of unused re-export modules in side-effect-free barrel modules
- Particularly beneficial for projects importing from large component libraries

For large component libraries like Ant Design, when you import just one component:

```js
import { Button } from 'antd';
Button;
```

| Metric                    | Without lazy barrel | With lazy barrel |
| -------------------- | --------------------- | ---------------- |
| Modules compiled | 2986                       | 250              |
| Build time               | ~210ms                  | ~50ms            |

By enabling lazy barrel, Rolldown reduces the number of compiled modules by 90% and speeds up the build by 2-4x. 

Enable it in your config:

```js
export default {
  experimental: {
    lazyBarrel: true,
  },
};
```
