Now that Angular v8 is here, it’s time to embark on a new journey: towards the next release! It’s never too soon to look forward to the future, and we are already watching for Angular v9. What’s new? This week’s release candidate brings us even closer to the final version! 9.0.0-rc.6 has been released.
Although the final release is still missing in action, we are on the final stretch as the sixth release candidate for Angular 9 has arrived – 9.0.0-rc.6. The bug fixes are still coming thick and fast, but we’re noticing that the list of changes for rc.5 and rc.6 are slightly shorter that previous ones, so perhaps that’s a sign that we might get a little present before the holidays after all! We’re keeping our fingers crossed that Angular 9 turns up in our stocking one of these days.
In the meantime, to apologize for the fact we were too busy to catch Angular 9.0.0-rc.5, we’ve published a video from our International JavaScript Conference so you can get an extra dose of Angular today: The Future of Angular and your Architectures with Ivy:
VIDEO
Enjoy!
Here’s the complete list of changes, as seen on the changelog .

Update November 6, 2019
Release candidate stage
Angular updated their changelog on GitHub and now we are one step closer to the release of Angular 9. The time has come and we are officially in the release candidate stage!
Check out the Updating to Angular Version 9 guide .
From the updating guide, be aware of the breaking changes and deprecations that come with v9.
Breaking changes
Angular v9 will compile with Ivy as the default rendering engine . View the Ivy compatibility guide for information on debugging errors, and some potential changes you may see. Ivy is (mostly) backward-compatible with the previous rendering engine, however, some applications will need to be manually updated.
If you are using Typescript 3.4 or 3.5, you must update to Typescript 3.6 .
tslib now listed as a peer dependency rather than a direct dependency. If you do not use the CLI, you will have to manually install tslib via yarn
Deprecations
The following APIs are deprecated in v9.

bazel: Angular bazel users using protractor_web_test_suite from @angular/bazel npm package should now switch to the @bazel/protractor npm package.

BREAKING CHANGES
ivy: This commit removes the public export of hasBeenProcessed()
.
This was exported to be availble to the CLI integration but was never used. The change to the function signature is a breaking change in itself so we remove the function altogether to simplify and lower the public API surface going forward.
core: Injector.get now accepts abstract classes to return type-safe values. Previous implementation returned any
through the deprecated implementation.
