## Source excerpt

This month we got a ton of improvements to SvelteKit's remote functions, TypeScript 6.0 support and the experimental release of community plugins in the Svelte CLI. Svelte was also featured in ThoughtWorks Technology Radar! Big month, bigger showcase... so let's dive in! What's new in SvelteKit SvelteKit now supports TypeScript 6.0 (2.56.0, Docs, #15595) form fields can now specify a default value using field.as(type, value), reducing boilerplate for pre-populated forms (2.56.0, Docs, #15577) Remote function transport now uses hydratable, enabling richer data types in query results (2.56.0, #15533) Form submit now returns a boolean to indicate submission validity for enhanced form remote functions (2.57.0, Docs, #15530) Remote Function Breaking Changes (2.56.0) Client-requested query refreshes must obtain permission from the server (#15562) Stabilize remote function caching by sorting object keys (#15570) Add run() method to queries, disallow awaiting queries outside render (#15533) Isolate command-triggered query refresh failures per-query (#15562) requested now requires limit and yields { arg, query } entries rather than validated args (#15739) Looking for more details on the many bug fixes and performance optimizations from this month? Check out the SvelteKit / Adapter CHANGELOGs. What's new in Svelte and Svelte Dev Tools Community add-ons are now available in sv as an experimental feature (sv@0.1.0, Docs, #1020) The sv and sv-utils packages are now separate in the CLI package - leading to a more explicit public API and a deprecation pass for old features (sv@0.2.0, Docs, #1046) sv will now more reliably detect if Vitest v3 is installed when configuring projects (sv@0.15.2, #1073) Types for TweenOptions, SpringOptions, SpringUpdateOptions and Updater are now available as exports from svelte/motion (svelte@5.55.0, Docs, #17967) For a full list of changes - including all the important bugfixes that went into the releases this month - check out the Svelte compiler's
