Summary

This release promotes zoneless mode to stable, adds support for TypeScript 5.9, and introduces several template enhancements like 'else if' aliases. It also marks the animations package and component animations field as deprecated while providing numerous fixes for animation behavior and compiler diagnostics.

Migration Steps

  1. Review usage of @angular/animations and the Component 'animations' field in preparation for future removal.
  2. Check templates for uninvoked functions in interpolation as new diagnostics may flag these.
