16.0.0-next.1 (2023-03-01)

Breaking Changes

compiler

• * TypeScript 4.8 is no longer supported. ### core
• Node.js v14 support has been removed

Node.js v14 is planned to be End-of-Life on 2023-04-30. Angular will stop supporting Node.js v14 in Angular v16. Angular v16 will continue to officially support Node.js versions v16 and v18.

router

• Tests which mock ActivatedRoute instances may need to be adjusted because Router.createUrlTree now does the right thing in more scenarios. This means that tests with invalid/incomplete ActivatedRoute mocks may behave differently than before. Additionally, tests may now navigate to a real URL where before they would navigate to the root. Ensure that tests provide expected routes to match. There is rarely production impact, but it has been found that relative navigations when using an ActivatedRoute that does not appear in the current router state were effectively ignored in the past. By creating the correct URLs, this sometimes resulted in different navigation behavior in the application. Most often, this happens when attempting to create a navigation that only updates query params using an empty command array, for example router.navigate([], {relativeTo: route, queryParams: newQueryParams}). In this case, the relativeTo property should be removed. ### common | Commit | Description | | -- | -- | | | make Location.normalize() return the correct path when the base path contains characters that interfere with regex syntax.
