We are excited to announce the general availability of the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) 1.23 , continuing our journey to evolve the development model for Microsoft 365 extensibility. SharePoint Framework remains the easiest and most widely used approach to build enterprise solutions across Microsoft 365, providing automatic single sign-on, automatic hosting, and seamless integration with industry standard web development tooling. With the 1.23 release, we continue to build on the modernized foundation introduced in previous releases , focusing on improving developer productivity, aligning with the latest web ecosystem advancements, and enabling enhanced extensibility scenarios across Microsoft 365. This release reinforces our long term commitment to making SPFx the primary extensibility model for SharePoint and beyond. We will continue building on this momentum with the upcoming exciting features. Custom SPFx solutions are used by tens of millions of users every day across Microsoft ...

[caption id="attachment_1166" align="alignnone" width="944"] We're excited to share agent skills designed to efficiently build native Windows apps with WinUI and the Windows App SDK with agents such as GitHub Copilot and Claude Code. [/caption] These skills enable your agent to take your ideas to a native Windows app in minutes! They are built around the end-to-end loop : scaffold, build, run, test, iterate. They've been optimized to know how to drive each stage, recognize common failures that get normal agents stuck in loops, and steer towards successful patterns, while also minimizing the number of tokens used by your agent. We hope to continually improve this experience and outcomes as we gather more feedback and examples from our developer community! Try it # Add the WinUI plugin to GitHub Copilot CLI /plugin install winui@awesome-copilot # Run the winui-setup skill to install all prerequisites /winui-setup Then ask GitHub Copilot for the...

Today, AWS announces the release of full repository code review , a new capability in AWS Security Agent that performs deep, context-aware security analysis of your entire codebase. Unlike traditional static analysis tools that match code against known vulnerability patterns, full repository code review reasons about your application's architecture, trust boundaries, and data flows to surface systemic vulnerabilities that pattern-matching tools miss. When vulnerabilities are found, the scanner generates code remediation, specific fixes tied to the exact file and line, so teams can identify and remediate security vulnerabilities faster than ever before. This capability is available at no additional charge for existing AWS Security Agent customers during the preview. AI-driven cybersecurity capabilities are advancing rapidly. AWS Security Agent can find vulnerabilities and build working exploits at a scale and speed we haven't seen before. AWS is prioritizing free early access ...

Amazon Connect Customer now enables you to embed Cases and Customer Profiles into custom agent applications, helping agents access case details and customer context alongside the tools they already use to resolve issues.

The Amazon Connect SDK is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect Customer is available. To learn more and get started, visit the administrator guide and developer guide .
