Angular 16 is now available! | Angular Newsletter

Angular 16 is now available! You can watch a quick summary video from the Angular Team (in less than 7 minutes).

We’ve already covered quite a few of the new features in this newsletter:

A developer preview of Angular Signals (with my video course to learn everything about them)
Required Inputs
TakeUntilDestroyed operator to automate Observable unsubscriptions
Component input bindings for router information

Other notable features include:

Improved server-side rendering with non-destructive hydration: If you’re using Angular Universal, your app can now be refreshed on the client side without re-building the entire DOM (also a developer preview)
Angular CLI commands to convert your app to standalone components: ng generate @angular/core:standalone and to create a new standalone app with ng new --standalone
Experimental support of Jest (instead of Karma/Jasmine) for unit-testing
Support for Typescript 5.0.

The Angular team released a long blog post highlighting these features in more detail. I’ll cover more of these features individually over the following weeks, but for now, I’ll let you upgrade to the latest version with this tutorial.
