||
| As the northern hemisphere heats up, Svelte has stayed cool with lots of performance and bug fixes, better TypeScript support, and lots of new components & tools from around the ecosystem. Let's take a peek 👀 | ||
|
|
||
| ## New in SvelteKit | ||
| - `adapter-node` now precompresses assets using gzip & brotli ([#1693](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/pull/1693)) | ||
| - Support for TypeScript transpilation has been added to the `svelte-kit package` tooling ([#1633](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/pull/1633)) | ||
| - Improved caching defaults in `adapter-node` ([#1416](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/pull/1416)) | ||
| - Allow configuring Rollup output options ([#1572](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/pull/1572)) | ||
| - Fixed usage of SSL with HMR ([#1517](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/pull/1517)) | ||
|
|

|
|
||
| ## Features & bug fixes from around svelte/* | ||
| - [Svelte 3.38.3](https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#3383) (released June 22) includes a bunch of performance and bug fixes - including hydration optimizations, `this` preservation in bubbled events, and more! | ||
| - The latest language tools releases added support for prop renaming from outside of a component, PostCSS syntax grammar, and a `.d.ts` output target in `svelte2tsx` which can be used to create type definitions from Svelte files. | ||
| - Also in language tools, some long-awaited experimental features for enhanced TypeScript support were added - including explicitly typing all possible component events or slots, and using generics. Have a look at [the RFC](https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs/pull/38) for more details and leave feedback in [this issue](https://github.com/sveltejs/language-tools/issues/442) if you are using it. | ||
| - `svelte-scroller` got some quality-of-life fixes in 2.0.7 - fixing an initial width bug and updating its `index` more conservatively | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Coming soon to Svelte | ||
| - Constants in markup ([RFC](https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs/blob/master/text/0000-markup-constants.md)): Adds a new `{@const ...}` tag that defines a local constant ([PR](https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/pull/6413)) | ||
