With TypeScript, we have focused on bridging the wildly popular JavaScript language with types for easy error detection, while bringing forward features from the
future version of JavaScript in a way that’s compatible with modern browsers. We’re now focused on getting to TypeScript 1.0, and in this post we’ll give an update on our plans to get us there.
Visual Studio 2013 RC and RTM
We shipped TypeScript 0.9.1.1 as part of Visual Studio 2013 RC to get feedback from a broader range of Visual Studio users. Given TypeScript’s continued evolution toward 1.0, we’ve decided to keep TypeScript as a separate download in Visual Studio, while continuing to make it easily available for all Visual Studio users. In Visual Studio 2013 RTM, you can install the latest version using the “Install the Latest TypeScript for Visual Studio” link provided in the new project templates. Using this link will allow you to stay up to date with TypeScript as it evolves to 1.0. The updates are also available
directly from the web.
