title: "What's new in Svelte: February 2021"
description: Integrations and improvements at lightning speed...

With the shortest month of the year coming up, Svelte maintainers and community members alike have been busy this last month from big changes in `svelte-loader`, `prettier-plugin-svelte`, `rollup-plugin-svelte`, and `language-tools` to steady progress in Sapper and `svelte-preprocess`. Meanwhile, lots of folks have been busy integrating Svelte with other popular frameworks.
## New compiler features
- Aria roles from the [WAI-ARIA Graphics Module](https://www.w3.org/TR/graphics-aria-1.0/#role_definitions) are now recognized as valid aria roles in Svelte components (**3.31.1**)
- Compiler warnings for the common React attributes, `className` and `htmlFor`, now make it easier to port React components to Svelte (**3.31.1**)
Have a suggestion for a compiler feature or want to help implement new features/bug fixes? Check out the ["triage: good first issue" tag for Svelte](https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22triage%3A+good+first+issue%22)
## New bits in language-tools
- User disabled auto import suggestions no longer show in VS Code (**103.0.0**)
- Renaming a variable is now safer with smart additions of a prefix/suffix to renamed variables (**104.0.0**)
- Semantic (token) highlighting for TypeScript users lets theme makers apply semantic styling in their themes, if they support it (**104.0.0**)
- "Extract Component" has been added to the context menu - allowing you to extract components out of files without having to open the command window to type "Svelte: Extract Component" (**104.0.0**)
- The VS Code extension now listens to JavaScript/TypeScript file changes - you no longer need to save the files for the changes to be noticed (**104.1.0**)
For the complete list of changes, check out the language-tools [Releases page](https://github.com/sveltejs/language-tools/releases).
A great way to try the language tools is to download the [Svelte Extension for VSCode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=svelte.svelte-vscode). This extension provides syntax highlighting and rich intellisense for Svelte components in VS Code, using the svelte language server. Check your editor's extension sources to see if there's a Svelte plugin for your IDE or build your own (see [coc-svelte](https://github.com/coc-extensions/coc-svelte) for example)!
## Big improvements across the Svelte ecosystem
- [svelte-loader](https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte-loader) released a major version, 3.0.0 - featuring Webpack 5 and Node 14 support, better hot reloading, and new `compilerOptions` to match `rollup-plugin-svelte`. Breaking changes include dropping Svelte 2 and Node 8 support. [More info in the changelog](https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte-loader/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
- [rollup-plugin-svelte](https://github.com/sveltejs/rollup-plugin-svelte) is now at version 7.x - with support for relative filenames, better handling of sourcemaps, and consistent `compilerOptions`. Be sure to [checkout the changelog](https://github.com/sveltejs/rollup-plugin-svelte/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for breaking changes when upgrading
- [svelte-preprocess](https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte-preprocess) iterated through some 4.6.x releases this month to improve postcss and scss handling and fix sourcemap transformation for typescript users. [More info in the changelog](https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte-preprocess/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md)
- [Sapper](https://github.com/sveltejs/sapper) got some improvements in scroll tracking and handling encoding query parameters. Dynamic imports also now work as expected in browsers that don't support ES modules. These changes from 0.29.0 and a step-by-step migration guide can be found [in the changelog](https://github.com/sveltejs/sapper/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
- [prettier-plugin-svelte](https://github.com/sveltejs/prettier-plugin-svelte) version 2 was released. It received an overhaul and comes with a rewrite of the HTML formatting. The output is now much more in line with how standard Prettier formats HTML. Better defaults for `svelteBracketNewLine` and `options-scripts-markup-styles` should now match how the majority of users like to order the code blocks. Additionally, Prettier's `htmlWhitespaceSensitivity` setting is now supported. [More info in the changelog](https://github.com/sveltejs/prettier-plugin-svelte/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
New changes to the Svelte Society website include [a new cheat sheet](https://sveltesociety.dev/cheatsheet) for easy access to useful code patterns and some smaller visual fixes across the site. **Want to help make the Svelte Society website ready for prime time**?
