v0.46.1

Highlights

• New no-unused-types linter rule to warn on unused type declarations (#20035)
  Example:

  type usedType = {
     name: string
  }
  
  type unusedType = string   // Warning: Type "unusedType" is declared but never used.
  
  param person usedType
  output personName string = person.name

• [Experimental] Runtime values in tags and sku (#20059)

  A new experimental feature that allows runtime values to be used in tags and sku properties — useful for preserving existing values during redeployment.

  Example usage:

  resource example 'Microsoft...' = {
     name: 'example'
     location: resourceGroup().location
     sku: {
        name: this.existingResource().?sku.name ?? 'Standard'
     }
     tags: this.existingResource().?tags ?? {}
  }
