SharePoint Framework v1.17.2 release notes

  • Article

This is a minor bump that fixes the issues around SharePoint Framework solution packaging, provides improved default scaffolding and few other minor adjustments, which were in the previous released 1.17 version and 1.17.1 version.

We are looking into release more frequent smaller release to be available also in future to address new findings or to address any other known issues which have been fixed.
