TypeScript 3.3, the latest upgrade to Microsoft’s typed superset of JavaScript, is now available in a production release. The new version features incremental file watching for composite projects, producing quicker builds by re-checking and re-emitting only files that have changed, rather than performing a complete build of the entire project.
With TypeScript 3.3, the --build mode’s --watch flag now leverages incremental file watching, enabling significantly faster builds. In tests, the --build --watch functionality resulted in a 50 percent to 75 percent reduction in build times compared to the original --build --watch. TypeScript 3.3 also features improved behavior for calling union types. Also, the TypeScript plug-in for Sublime Text now supports editing in JavaScript files.
