What’s new in Svelte: June 2026

This month we got a bunch of improvements in SvelteKit's forms and remote functions. Plus, a new query function (.live(...)) that makes accessing real-time data from the server easier.

Keep an eye out for a few breaking changes in remote functions, if you're using those. Otherwise, enjoy all the new SvelteKit features and bug fixes in the latest versions of Svelte.

Let's dive in!

What's new in SvelteKit

• Form submit now returns a boolean to indicate submission validity for enhanced remote forms (2.57.0, Docs, #15530)
• Breaking: requested(...) now requires limit and yields { arg, query } entries instead of returning the validated argument directly (2.58.0, Docs, #15739)
• requested(...) now supports query.batch(...), which makes batch remote query workflows easier to inspect in request-time logic (2.59.0, Docs, #15751)
• submit and hidden remote form fields can now accept booleans and numbers directly (2.60.0, Docs, #15802)
• SvelteKit now warns when remote form validation issues are never read, helping catch missed UX paths earlier (2.60.0, Docs, #15653)
• Breaking: .run() was removed from remote queries - use await query() directly in all contexts instead (2.61.0, Docs, #15779)
• Remote queries can now be awaited in event handlers, async callbacks and module scope, with cache deduping shared across reactive and non-reactive consumers (2.61.0, Docs, #15779)
• query.live(...) makes working with long-lived remote query subscriptions easier and are now async-iterable (experimental 2.59.0, async in 2.61.0, Docs, #15878)
• Breaking: Enhance callbacks now receive a copy of the form remote function instance, rather than a { form, data, submit } object. Plus, remote form instances now expose a programmatic submit() API and can be passed into enhance callbacks (2.61.0, Docs, #15657)

What's new in Svelte and the Svelte ecosystem

• Templates now allow declarations directly in markup, making it easier to define values close to where they're used (svelte@5.56.0, #18282)
• Svelte language-tools now support TypeScript 6.0 across the language server, svelte2tsx and svelte-check packages (svelte-language-server@0.18.0/svelte2tsx@0.7.55/svelte-check@4.4.8/svelte-preprocess@6.0.4, Docs, #2985 / #675)
• Svelte MCP's stdio mode can now read file content directly, reducing round trips in local tool workflows (mcp@0.1.23, Docs, #198)
• vite-plugin-svelte now enables the optimizer for server environments during development (vite-plugin-svelte@7.1.0, #1328)
