Angular team will release the latest version of Angular on May 20, 2024.

Now, we can create a new Angular 18 application.
ng new Angular18Galaxy

Compared to the older version project creation is very fast in Angular 18.

As you can see, Angular 18 has relatively small bundle sizes. The performance of the application will be enhanced.

Currently I am getting one issue while running the application.
