Node.js v18 will reach End-of-Life on April 30, 2025, and will no longer be supported in Angular v20.
Node.js Release Schedule: https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Angular no longer supports Node.js v18.
- Node.js versions 22.0 to 22.10 are also no longer supported.
Before upgrading to Angular v20, ensure the Node.js version is at least 20.11.1.

Note that this is not a public-facing change because the compiler is not
supposed to be used directly. See `public-api-surface.md`
We are changing this because in the current state, for advanced setups
like our Bazel infrastructure in Material, this peer dependency can
result in a cycle. That is because we may decide to link the
`@angular/core` package using the compiler-cli/compiler; while
transitively the compiler has a dependency on core. That's a cycle
(surfacing in Bazel w/ `rules_js`).
Dropping this optional peer dependency is acceptable because `core`,
since recently, also has an optional peer dependency on the compiler.
This one makes more sense and is also more user-facing (people generally
never install the compiler directly).
Notably the compiler does not have any runtime dependency on `core` and
this was purely added for some safety checking. See:

Historically we've had to be VERY cautious about the way we import
things between entry-points. That is because the `ng_package` rule
bundling is subject to silently introducing code duplication, breaking
singletons etc. We've had this surface a couple of times already, and
dev-infra tried to help detect such cases by adding safety analysis into
`ng_package`.
Long-term we want to get to an approach where it's easy to simply share
code between chunks. Precisely, with the upcoming `rules_js` migration,
this will be necessary as we will have different import "guidelines"
that would currently, before this commit, result in code duplication, or
trigger our "safety check/lint".
This commit prepares `ng_package` to support relative imports between
entry-points, so that we only need the safety check for cross-package
imports/exports. The result is that `ng_package`/APF is now smartly able
to generate shared chunks for things that are needed between multiple
entry-points. Yay!
Note that those shared chunks still remain private, and are guarded by
our `package.json` "exports"; so no new public API surface is
exposed.

BREAKING CHANGE: Node.js v16 support has been removed and the minimum support version has been bumped to 18.13.0.
Node.js v16 is planned to be End-of-Life on 2023-09-11. Angular will stop supporting Node.js v16 in Angular v17. For Node.js release schedule details, please see: https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule

This commit updates the minimum supported Node version across packages from 16.13.0 -> 16.14.0 to ensure compatibility with dependencies.

BREAKING CHANGE: 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.

This change aligns with the supported Node.js versions of the Angular CLI.
See: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/24026
BREAKING CHANGE: Angular no longer supports Node.js versions `14.[15-19].x` and `16.[10-12].x`. Current supported versions of Node.js are `14.20.x`, `16.13.x` and `18.10.x`.

Node.js v12 will become EOL on 2022-04-30. As a result, Angular CLI v14 will no longer support Node.js v12.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Support for Node.js v12 has been removed as it will become EOL on 2022-04-30. Please use Node.js v14.15 or later.

The compiler generates code for the Angular runtime in `@angular/core` which
has to be the exact same version, as otherwise there may be version skew
between what the compiler generates and what the runtime supports. This would
result in hard to diagnose problems at runtime. By adding a peer dependency
for `@angular/compiler` on `@angular/core` we can let the package manager
report an error (NPM 7+) or warning (NPM 6, Yarn) during installation to
signal that the set of packages is incompatible.
PR Close#45267
This commit updates the `node` engines range for all Angular
framework packages to:
* No longer support NodeJS v12 `< 12.20`. This is done because APF v13
uses package export patterns which are only supported as of v12.20.
https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#packages_subpath_patterns.
* Allows for the latest v16 NodeJS versions. This matches with the CLI
which added NodeJS v16 support with https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/21854.
We already limit this to `>= v16.10.0` in preparation to only
supporting the LTS minors of Node v16.
BREAKING CHANGE: NodeJS versions older than `v12.20.0` are no longer
supported due to the Angular packages using the NodeJS package exports
feature with subpath patterns.

Adds support for TypeScript 4.4. High-level overview of the changes made in this PR:
* Bumps the various packages to `typescript@4.4.2` and `tslib@2.3.0`.
* The `useUnknownInCatchVariables` compiler option has been disabled so that we don't have to cast error objects explicitly everywhere.
* TS now passes in a third argument to the `__spreadArray` call inside child class constructors. I had to update a couple of places in the runtime and ngcc to be able to pick up the calls correctly.
* TS now generates code like `(0, foo)(arg1, arg2)` for imported function calls. I had to update a few of our tests to account for it. See https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/44624.
* Our `ngtsc` test setup calls the private `matchFiles` function from TS. I had to update our usage, because a new parameter was added.
* There was one place where we were setting the readonly `hasTrailingComma` property. I updated the usage to pass in the value when constructing the object instead.
* Some browser types were updated which meant that I had to resolve some trivial type errors.
* The downlevel decorators tranform was running into an issue where the Closure synthetic comments were being emitted twice. I've worked around it by recreating the class declaration node instead of cloning it.

Switches the repository to TypeScript 4.3 and the latest
version of tslib. This involves updating the peer dependency
ranges on `typescript` for the compiler CLI and for the Bazel
package. Tests for new TypeScript features have been added to
ensure compatibility with Angular's ngtsc compiler.

Update the supported range of node versions for to be less restrictive, no longer causing
yarn or npm to fail engine's checks for future versions of node.
While this change will no longer cause yarn or npm to fail these engine's check, this does
not reflect a change in the officially supported versions of node for Angular. Angular
continues to maintain support for Active LTS and Maintenance LTS versions of node.

Remove publishConfig property from the package.json entry for each of the entries in
the publish configuration. Using the wombat proxy is now ensured/managed by the
ng-dev release tooling.

Due to an outage with the proxy we rely on for publishing, we need

Tslib version is bound to the TypeScript version used to compile the library. Thus, we shouldn't list `tslib` as a `peerDependencies`. This is because, a user can install libraries which have been compiled with older versions of TypeScript and thus require multiple `tslib` versions to be installed.

Closes: #37188

We can remove all of the entry point resolution configuration from the package.json
in our source code as ng_package rule adds the properties automatically and correctly
configures them.
This change simplifies our code base but doesn't have any impact on the package.json
in the distributed npm_packages.

BREAKING CHANGE:
We no longer directly have a direct depedency on `tslib`. Instead it is now listed a `peerDependency`.
Users not using the CLI will need to manually install `tslib` via;
```
yarn add tslib
```
or
```
npm install tslib --save
```

We don't expect this to actually break an application, but the application/library package.json

"ng update" supports having multiple packages as part of a group which should be updated together, meaning that e.g. calling "ng update @angular/core" would be equivalent to updating all packages of the group (that are part of the package.json already).
In order to support the grouping feature, the package.json of the version the user is updating to needs to include an "ng-update" key that points to this metadata.
The entire specification for the update workflow can be found here: 2e8b12a4ef/docs/specifications/update.md
