Google has announced the release of Angular framework version 18, marking the first version since the long-term plan to integrate Angular with the Wiz framework used internally at Google. The distinction between Angular and Wiz lies in their focus, with Angular being geared towards highly interactive websites rather than performance, while Wiz is designed for high-performance websites with heavy traffic. As the lines between these two groups blur gradually, Google has decided to merge the two frameworks together.
The transition will occur slowly, with Wiz currently implementing the Angular Signals rendering feature on the YouTube website. On the other hand, Angular has started using the Wiz library named event dispatch on the google.com webpage. Other new features in Angular 18 include zoneless change detection, a new API intended to replace the previous zone.js, which is currently in experimental status, support for Material 3 theme systems reaching stable status, and deferrable views and built-in control flow also becoming stable.
TLDR: Google announces the release of Angular version 18, merging it with the Wiz framework for improved performance and functionality. New features include zoneless change detection and compatibility with Material 3 theme systems.
