A look at major features in the Angular Ivy version 9 release

Angular version 9 ships with Ivy enabled by default, bringing AOT compilation everywhere (builds, dev server, and tests), smaller and more tree-shakable bundles, and the principle of locality for faster build times. Key new features include dynamic globalisation with runtime locale loading, strict template type checking, new 'platform' and 'any' provider scopes, CSS Custom Properties binding, improved Angular Universal SSR with a dev server and static prerendering, official YouTube and Google Maps components, and support for TypeScript 3.6/3.7. The release also deprecates entryComponents, introduces a strict workspace schematic flag, and replaces the ng.probe debugging API.
