Landing just two days after 26.6, coverage reports can now include files your tests didn't touch with --test-coverage-include-all, FFI and SQLite pick up crash fixes, and Perfetto tracing support lands, though you'll need a custom build to use it.

👀 anydoc: Convert 14 Document Formats into Markdown

A Rust-powered library (with Node.js and WASM bindings) that converts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, CSV, and PDF documents into Markdown. I tried it on a 1,600 page PDF and it took less than 2 seconds. There's also an in-browser demo to try it out. GitHub repo.

👀 Migrating a Large Flow Monorepo to TypeScript

Over several years, Yelp moved 1.4 million lines off Flow, and this writeup is more useful as a guide to running any long migration than as a Flow story. It was a big win on its own terms, with type coverage up from 83% to 96%.
