NgRx 8: A Massive Win
Shortly after the release of Angular 8, the NgRx team released their own version 8. It was a big release full of fantastic improvements to the library. While I'll let you read the official release announcement by Tim Deschryver, here are the highlights:

- Runtime checks are now available to check that state and actions aren't mutated and are serializable (these replace the ngrx-store-freeze package)
- Fully isolated unit tests are now available thanks to mock selectors
- There have been a couple of improvements to @ngrx/router, including a new minimal routerState option
