Looks like we may be adjusting the beta deadline to early next week to get in a few PRs that needed to wait as a result of 4.8 servicing tasks.

A few updates:
.tsbuildinfofiles is still in flux. We'll likely have to decide on that only if we feel like we can get sufficient coverage.DanielRosenwasser commentedon Sep 21, 2022

Due to #50927, the correct beta on npm is 4.9.1-beta. The RC will be 4.9.2-rc. The stable will be 4.9.3.
One day we will be able to avoid incrementing the patch and just publish pre-releases.

I always thought it was weird that TS prereleases consume entire version numbers. What is the technical reason for that?
jakebailey commentedon Sep 23, 2022
Something to do with places like the VS Marketplace which don't support prerelease tags, though that might have changed entirely. https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript's-Release-Process#why-do-you-need-to-set-the-patch-version-on-pre-releases
Maybe things have changed enough such that we can do something different now.

Will per-file settings available in ts 4.9? Or maybe move it to 5.0?
chriskrycho commentedon Oct 18, 2022
👋🏼 In Ember.js' testing against TS, we noted failures against 4.9 starting with the
4.9.0-dev.20221014release. I believe these are legitimate issues (the fix here is demonstrably all sorts of unsafe!), but the underlying change wasn't called out in the 4.9 blog post, so I wanted to flag it here as a thing to possibly mention – I assume this was a case of intersection handling andunknowngetting better.DanielRosenwasser commentedon Oct 30, 2022

I feel like we need to add
-X theirsto that workflow's merge so that it always takes what's inmain(kinda likereset --hard mainbut without breaking history). Unfortunate that we hit conflicts thanks to LKG changing in both.DanielRosenwasser commentedon Nov 1, 2022
