SharePoint Framework v1.17.4 release notes

This release is a minor bump that has minor updates on the default project settings and package dependencies.

We're 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.

Tip

It's safe to keep on using SharePoint Framework 1.17 version, but we do recommend always using the latest version in the production, which in this case would be the 1.17.4, which has few minor improvements as listed in this document.

Released: June 21, 2023
