Microsoft has released Windows Package Manager 1.10.40 preview, which represents the second development build for both Windows 10 and Windows 11. The update incorporates experimental features such as sixel support for icons and an enhanced progress visualization.

The handling of WinGet configuration files that utilize DSC resources requiring elevation has been improved for better efficiency. The experimental feature "Configure Self Elevation" is available for activation.

TypeScript 5.7 is now available for download through npm. The release candidate includes several improvements, including checking for never-initialized variables, path rewriting for relative paths, and a new compiler option called --rewriteRelativeImportExtensions. TypeScript has been able to catch issues when a variable has not yet been initialized in all prior branches, but it now reports errors when variables have never been initialized at all.
Path rewriting for relative paths is also introduced. TypeScript now supports running TypeScript code "in-place" without requiring a build step that generates output JavaScript files. However, this requires importing the appropriate TypeScript extension at runtime. To support this scenario, a new compiler option called --rewriteRelativeImportExtensions is added.
