  "summary": "Microsoft has released the TypeScript 7.1 Beta, the first update to the Go-based native compiler that landed as TypeScript 7.0 in July. The update restores the Compiler API, which was dropped in TypeScript 7.0, and introduces content mappers to support Vue and Svelte first-class integration. Content mappers allow packages to provide a virtual view of non-standard files like .vue or .svelte components, enabling editors to derive new state from old snapshots without rebuilding the entire world. The team expects the feature to be backward compatible across all of 7.x once stable. Notable improvements include a speedup of type checks in Directus admin app by 4.6x and a 2.76x reduction in a 353,000 line NestJS check. However, teams adopting the beta will need to run 7.1 in CI alongside an older TypeScript in the editor until Vue tooling stabilises on top of the stable release.",
