+automatically include svelte in vite config optimizeDeps.include
+
+Previously, svelte was automatically excluded. We include it now by default to improve deduplication.
+
+As a result, svelte is pre-bundled by vite during dev, which it logs when starting the devserver
+
+```shell
+Pre-bundling dependencies:
+  svelte/animate
+  svelte/easing
+  svelte/internal
+  svelte/motion
+  svelte/store
+  (...and 2 more)
+(this will be run only when your dependencies or config have changed)
+```
+
+And it's also visible in the browsers network tab, where requests for svelte imports now start with `node_modules/.vite/` during dev.
+
+Check out the [vite pre-bundling documentation](https://vitejs.dev/guide/dep-pre-bundling.html) for more information.
+
+To get the old behavior back, add the following to your vite config
+
+```js
+optimizeDeps: {
+	exclude: ['svelte'];
+}
+```
