This release aligns CommunityToolkit/Aspire with Aspire 13.4.0 and delivers new integrations, TypeScript AppHost improvements, CI reliability work, and broad package updates.
We’re especially excited to ship this alongside Aspire 13.4, where TypeScript AppHost is now GA, resource commands gained typed arguments/process commands, and Kubernetes/AKS support continued to expand:
