Ionic 7 has been officially released, bringing a host of new features and improvements that enhance developer experience and performance across Ionic applications. Key updates include the addition of inline overlays for components like Action Sheet and Alert, which simplify data management without controllers, and refined event emissions for more reliable user interaction detection. Form control syntax has been streamlined, reducing boilerplate code and improving accessibility. Performance enhancements include a significant boost in tab switching speeds and optimized component initialization times. The release also removes certain components in favor of more versatile alternatives, such as utilizing Swiper.js for slides, and aligns better with Vite and Vitest for improved compatibility. Accompanying these changes are updated documentation and migration guides to aid developers in transitioning to Ionic 7, along with a new CLI version that introduces Vite for starter applications. The community's feedback has been integral to this release, and further enhancements are planned for later in the year.
