Microsoft announces TypeScript 5.7 beta with key enhancements

Microsoft has released the beta of TypeScript 5.7, introducing new features to streamline development workflows. Among the notable updates is enhanced support for finding the correct tsconfig.json file in large projects. Instead of stopping at the first config file found, TypeScript 5.7 now searches the project’s ancestor directories, improving flexibility in multi-config setups. Additionally, performance improvements in project ownership checks and better integration with Node.js compile caching are included, resulting in faster operations.
