Original English article We don’t know much about Angular’s next version, but we now know it will be officially released in October.

ng5 will be a better ng, and you'll be able to use it more easily

One of the changes ng4 brought was smaller size and faster speed in AOT compilation mode. Their goal is to reduce component-generated code size by 60%. ng5 will be even better. Minar guarantees that ng5 will be smaller and faster than ng4. The update from ng4 to ng5 will be smooth, and compilation will be simpler. Because the difference between JIT and AOT compilation is frustrating. The latter will become the default, reducing conflicts.

Long-Term Support (LTS)

Minar revealed that all Google applications using ng’s latest pre-release versions and their teams are very satisfied with ng’s stability. Of course, except for those not using it, those using the latest minor versions will benefit. The answer is Long-Term Support. ng4 will be the first LTS version. For the next 6 months, the Angular team will be active in releasing new versions and fixing bugs. In October, V4 will enter a long-term state where only critical bug fixes and security patches will be merged and released.
