Announcing TypeScript 6.0

Announcing TypeScript 6.0

TypeScript 6.0 shipped as a deliberate 'bridge' release preparing developers for the native Go-based TypeScript 7.0, changing key defaults (strict: true, module: esnext, target: es2025) while deprecating legacy options such as ES5 targeting.

New features included subpath imports starting with #/, improved inference for context-sensitive functions, and updated standard-library types for emerging proposals like Temporal and RegExp.escape.
