The following are the new features in Angular:

• TyepScript 2.1+ is the required scripting language for Angular.
• Ahead of Time compilation mode enables Angular to compile the templates and generates JavaScript code during the build process. This helps us identify the errors in templates during the build-time rather than at runtime.
• Angular animation has its own package, and it means that you don't need to ship animation packages to the projects that don't need animation.
• Template tag is now deprecated as it leads to confusion with the template HTML tag that is used in web components. So, ng-template is introduced for templates in Angular.

Apart from these, other new features have been introduced in code level.
