Previously, TypeScript would resolve the reified types for the
`design:types` decorator emit in the regular `currentScope`. That scope
does not include class declaration bodies.
However when reifying types, class declarations do introduce a new scope
for any `TypeVariable`s declared on them. Because TS resolved the
EntityName for such types against the parent scope (e.g. the source
file), not the class scope, TypeScript would either fail to resolve the type (giving `TypeReferenceSerializationKind.Unknown`), or
incorrectly resolve to a different, accidentally matching symbol in the outer scope (giving `TypeWithConstructSignatureAndValue`).
This would result in an emit referencing an undeclared symbol, or
mis-referencing the wrong symbol.
__metadata("design:type", typeof (_a = typeof TypeVariable !== "undefined" && TypeVariable) === "function" && _a || Object)
__metadata("design:type", TypeVariable)
This change special cases `currentScope` for
`serializeTypeReferenceNode` to use a class scope, if present. This
changes the emit for a `TypeVariable` back to `Object`:
__metadata("design:type", Object)
TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types, classes, and modules to JavaScript. TypeScript supports tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.
Installing
For the latest stable version:
npm install -g typescript
For our nightly builds:
npm install -g typescript@next

Documentation
Building
In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have Git and Node.js installed.
Clone a copy of the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git
Change to the TypeScript directory:
cd TypeScript
Install Jake tools and dev dependencies:
npm install -g jake
npm install
Use one of the following to build and test:
jake local # Build the compiler into built/local
jake clean # Delete the built compiler
jake LKG # Replace the last known good with the built one.
# Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
jake tests # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
jake runtests # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure.
# You can override the host or specify a test for this command.
# Use host=<hostName> or tests=<testPath>.
jake runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is jake runtests. Optional
parameters 'host=', 'tests=[regex], reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
jake baseline-accept # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from jake runtests.
jake lint # Runs tslint on the TypeScript source.
jake help # List the above commands.
Usage
node built/local/tsc.js hello.ts
