• Angular v17: First appeared as AngularJS in 2010. Popular in many use cases but often overlooked. v17 makes a leap with rebranding to Angular.dev (in beta till v18), production-ready hydration, Vite and esbuild as defaults for new projects, improved server side app support, new built-in control flow to make code less verbose.
