The following version of the Angular JavaScript framework will be Angular 8.1 and that is now available in a release candidate. With Angular 8.1, you will get test helpers for wiring injectors and deprecates Web Tracing Framework integration and the platform-webworker APIs.
Since Angular provides dependency injection, it is significantly useful for assembling data services for applications, along with the use of an HTML template to compose components. While working with Angular, many developers still create components with an HTML component connecting to TypeScript code for imperative parts of the program.

New features in Angular 8.1
- Application of definitionAndBoundSpan, has now been preferred over definition. The application of definition has been refactored and unraveled.
- Angular previously supported for performance testing. We now see the discontinuation of the integration with the Web Tracing Framework. This came after the Angular development team noted that the integration has not been maintained and does not work for most Angular applications today, nor is it used more during AngularJS development services.
- We also see the deprecation of the platform-webworker APIs. There is also an inclusion of this support had been experimental, to try to run an entire application in a Web Worker, for web content to run background scripts. Angular proponents no longer seek to do this.
- There are new test helpers which are provided for the upgrade/static library that wire up Angular and AngularJS injectors sans the need for a full bootstrap of a hybrid app.
The latest version of Angular 8.1 also gives bug fixes for the Bazel build tool as well as the Angular core and router.
What were the new features in Angular 8.0
Improvements in Angular 8 include the following:
- We have better application startup time on modern browsers.
- APIs for getting into the CLI and more web standards support.
- Differential loading, in which the browser chooses between modern or legacy JavaScript based on its own capabilities. When users load an application, they automatically get the needed bundle.
- Web workers, which can speed up an application during CPU-intensive processing, now can be generated from the CLI.
- A dynamic imports capability for importing modules. This is useful when developers want to load a module conditionally or on demand. Dynamic imports will improve support from editors such as Visual Studio Code, which will be able to validate these imports.
- Builder APIs for tapping into ng build, ng test, and ng run to perform processes such as build and deployment.
- Workspace APIs in the CLI, with an API to make it easier to modify the workspace configuration. The workspaces namespace offers an API for interacting with workspace file formats.
- Improvements for migrating from AngularJS, the previous generation of the framework. A LocationUpgradeModule enables a unified location service to shift responsibilities to the Angular Location.
Conclusion
The entire Angular community has been actively participating in keeping the framework top notch. With consistent support and solid input, AngularJS development services have significantly experienced a boom in the market. The future of Angular as a framework has always been bright, and there cannot be any better time than this to invest in your knowledge.
