Breaking Changes

@​angular/cli

• The ng doc command has been removed without a replacement. To perform searches, please visit www.angular.dev
• Node.js support for versions <18.19.1 and <20.11.1 has been removed.

@​angular-devkit/build-angular

• By default, the index.html file is no longer emitted in the browser directory when using the application builder with SSR. Instead, an index.csr.html file is emitted. This change is implemented because in many cases server and cloud providers incorrectly treat the index.html file as a statically generated page. If you still require the old behavior, you can use the index option to specify the output file name.

  "architect": {
    "build": {
      "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:application",
      "options": {
        "outputPath": "dist/my-app",
        "index": {
          "input": "src/index.html",
          "output": "index.html"
        }
      }
    }
  }

• The support for the legacy Sass build pipeline, previously accessible via NG_BUILD_LEGACY_SASS when utilizing webpack-based builders, has been removed.

Deprecations

@​angular-devkit/schematics

• NodePackageLinkTask in @angular-devkit/schematics. A custom task should be created instead.
