+
+The Inline Stylesheets RFC is now stable!
+
+You can now control how Astro bundles your css with a configuration change:
+
+```ts
+export default defineConfig({
+    ...
+    build: {
+        inlineStylesheets: "auto"
+    }
+    ...
+})
+```
+
+The options:
+- `inlineStylesheets: "never"`: This is the behavior you are familiar with. Every stylesheet is external, and added to the page via a `<link>` tag. Default.
+- `inlineStylesheets: "auto"`: Small stylesheets are inlined into `<style>` tags and inserted into `<head>`, while larger ones remain external.
+- `inlineStylesheets: "always"`: Every style required by the page is inlined.
+
+As always, css files in the `public` folder are not affected.
