Fork TS Checker Webpack Plugin is a Webpack plugin that runs the TypeScript type checker in a separate process. It is useful for speeding up TypeScript type checking during builds and for reporting clearer TypeScript errors.

Recent updates
v9.1.0
v9.1.0 primarily changes the TypeScript error reporting output message to say "No typescript errors found." instead of the more generic "No errors found." The codebase also updates the project runtime requirement (Node engine) and upgrades chokidar, which can affect file watching behavior. Release notes only document the log message change.
BreakingFeaturesv9.0.3
Release v9.0.3 has essentially empty release notes, so documented changes cannot be confirmed. The code diff shows internal TypeScript worker configuration changes (notably removal of an enabled flag), plus major tooling and CI updates (Node and Yarn upgrades) and a large lockfile update.
Breakingv9.0.2
v9.0.2 primarily addresses an output formatting issue in `issue-webpack-error`, removing ANSI color codes from part of the webpack error message. In addition to that small code change, the release also bumps the `cosmiconfig` dependency and updates the lockfile substantially.
