What’s new in 2.2

We’re publishing a series of posts here that go over some of the new feature areas in detail. We’ll update the post with links to these posts as they go live over the coming days:

• API Controller Conventions
• Endpoint Routing
• Health Checks
• HTTP/2 in Kestrel
• Improvements to IIS hosting
• SignalR Java client 

SonarLint is a free IDE extension that lets you fix coding issues before they exist! Like a spell checker, SonarLint highlights Bugs and Security Vulnerabilities as you write code, with clear remediation guidance so you can fix them before the code is even committed. SonarLint in VS Code supports analysis of C, C++, HTML, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python and TypeScript, and you can install it directly from the VS Code Marketplace! 

Here’s a quick list of what’s new in TypeScript 4.8!

Improved Intersection Reduction, Union Compatibility, and Narrowing

Errors When Comparing Object and Array Literals
Improved Inference from Binding Patterns
File-Watching Fixes (Especially Across git checkouts)
Find-All-References Performance Improvements
Exclude Specific Files from Auto-Imports
Correctness Fixes and Breaking Changes

Breaking Changes
 

• DateTime.Now = Cannot provide the value: host value not found
• MSVC codegen error vector reverse_iterator x64 C++17 debug build
• C2440 error building atlenc.h with /permissive- in VS 16.4 Preview 1
• Last Visual Studio update broke NTLM authentication on Android (seems like new version of Momo would be a reason)

• Using TypeScript 3.7 for IntelliSense
• XCode 11.3 is too new all of a sudden after update to 8.4
• You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle with invalid or missing signing information for some of its files. You need to create a valid signed APK or Android App Bundle.
• Unable to Run UWP project
• JavaScript IntelliSense not working after update 16.4.1
• Xib : Xcode is to new(rendering problem when using custom components)
• Storyboard error: 'Xcode is too new'
• Stability improvements for debugging watchOS applications.
• Adds Xcode 11.3 SDK support.
• Fixed crash when fstack-protector-strong flag is enabled.
