+With yesterday's Svelte Summit behind us, we've got a lot of news to share! check out all of the recordings on the [Svelte Society YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/sveltesociety) and the rest of this month's updates below...

+## What's new in Svelte
+- The `<svelte:element>` element lets you render an element of a dynamically specified type. This is useful for example when rich text content from a CMS. If the tag is changed, the children will be preserved unless there's a transition attached to the element. Check out the [docs](https://svelte.dev/docs#template-syntax-svelte-element) or the [tutorial](https://svelte.dev/tutorial/svelte-element) for more info (**3.47.0**)!
