Angular 9.0.0, slated for release soon, brings significant updates that particularly benefit Ionic developers by enabling faster and smaller app deployment. A major enhancement in this version is the default activation of Ivy, Angular's new renderer, which optimizes app size and performance by only loading necessary components. Although Ivy can create some compatibility issues for third-party components, its advantages in simplifying the use of entryComponents, such as Modals and Popovers, are noteworthy. Additionally, improvements to Angular's CLI include automatic Ahead of Time (AOT) compilation to catch errors early, and more efficient differential builds that prioritize ES2015 processing before generating ES5 versions. These updates, currently in release candidate stage, are expected to enhance the overall developer experience and productivity once Angular 9.0.0 is officially launched.
