S2 E29 - Angular v13

The Angular Plus Show

As promised, the Angular team dropped version 13 on November 3rd, and the Angular Show got the chance to talk to Angular Dev Rel team member Emma Twersky about the anticipated release.
In this episode Emma tells Aaron and Jennifer about some awesome new Angular team members and their contributions, including Sarah Dranser joining Google as Director of Engineering for Core Web. There’s a quick fangirl/fanboy session over what a fantastic manager and mindful engineer Sarah is and the resources she provides to the community. They touched on the highly anticipated form typing changes coming and the Angular team’s RFC process that allows community members to give feedback on features before they’re completed.
Emma highlights awesome community contributions that made it into the Angular 13 release - restoring history after navigation, enabling/disabling validators dynamically, Service Worker API updates, and Router Outlet now emitting activate/deactivate events.
Emma also walks Jennifer and Aaron through more new features like the simplified ViewContainerRef API, even better error messaging, accessibility improvements for Angular Material components, and tooling improvements with persistent build caching.
