- TypeScript Native Previews are now available via npm and VS Code Marketplace.
- The native TypeScript compiler, named 'tsgo', offers a 10x speed-up and supports JSX and JavaScript+JSDoc type-checking.
- Editor functionality in VS Code is in early stages, with completions enabled but other features pending.
- API progress includes a new IPC-based communication layer and a synchronous Node.js module in Rust.
- Known differences include deprecations like 'node' resolution and limited downlevel emit support.
- Future updates will focus on completing compiler features like '--build' and expanding editor support.
