Microsoft announced the release candidate of TypeScript 4.4, and said it expects no further changes apart from critical bug fixes for the stable release.
Major highlights of the release candidate include control flow analysis of aliased conditions and discriminants, symbol and template string pattern index signatures, defaulting to the ‘unknown’ type in catch variables, and more.
Instead of having to convince TypeScript of a variable’s type whenever it is used, the type-checker leverages control flow analysis to deduce the type within every language construct.

AWS announces cross-account data sharing for Amazon Redshift
This new feature offers users a simple and secure way to share fresh, complete, and consistent data in their Amazon Redshift data warehouse with any number of stakeholders across AWS accounts.
Users can now share data across organizations and collaborate with external parties while meeting compliance and security requirements.
All of the permissions required for authorization and association are managed with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), so users can create IAM policies to control which operations each user can complete. Also, both the producer and consumer clusters must be encrypted and in the same AWS Region.=
