Angular 19 Released with Standalone Components, Signals, and Performance Improvements

The latest version of Angular, a popular JavaScript framework for building web applications, has been released. Angular 19 introduces several new features aimed at enhancing developer experience and application performance. Key highlights include:

* Standalone components, directives, and pipes are now the default, eliminating the need for explicit configuration.
* Signals-based APIs have been promoted to stable status, including input(), output(), and viewChild().
* Incremental hydration is introduced in developer preview, building on previous innovations like full application hydration.
* Angular Material continues to evolve with enhancements across two key areas: Hydration and Signals.
