Feb 2024

Signals

• Signal based components (i.e Input as Observable)

Required inputs

@Component(...) export class App { @Input({ required: true }) title: string = ''; }

Misc

• In v16 our esbuild-based build system enters developer preview! Early tests showed over 72% improvement in cold production builds.
• support for TypeScript 5.0, with support for ECMAScript decorators, removing the overhead of ngcc, adding support for service workers and app shell in standalone apps, expanding CSP support in the CLI
