Angular 19 launches November 19th, with linkedSignal skipping the experimental stage to debut as developer preview. At Angular Camp, Alex Okrushko showcased the SignalStore’s functional design, while Gerome Grignon shared techniques for image optimization.
linkedSignal in Developer Preview
Angular 19 will officially release on Tuesday, November 19th. As expected, last week didn’t bring many new announcements, but one surprise stood out: linkedSignal will skip the experimental stage and enter developer preview directly.
Angular Camp
At Angular Camp, Alex Okrushko introduced the NgRx SignalStore from an interesting perspective. He explained that its strong functional design—not relying on classes—was the key to its extensibility. Meanwhile, Gerome Grignon presented on image optimization, sharing strategies to improve performance by optimizing media assets.
TypeScript 5.7 RC
Meanwhile, TypeScript 5.7 has reached the release candidate stage, signaling the feature freeze. It includes es2024 support with new methods like Object.groupBy, though these updates won’t significantly affect Angular development.
Please note that Angular 19 will not be compatible with TypeScript 5.7 upon release. However, there’s a high likelihood that support will be added in one of the minor releases during the Angular 19 lifecycle.
