What's new in Angular CLI 13.2?

Angular CLI 13.2.0 is out!✨

If you want to upgrade to 13.2.0 without pain (or to any other version, by the way), I have created a Github project to help: angular-cli-diff. Choose the version you're currently using (12.2.0 for example), and the target version (13.2.0 for example), and it gives you a diff of all files created by the CLI: angular-cli-diff/compare/12.2.0...13.2.0. It can be a great help along with the official ng update @angular/core @angular/cli command. You have no excuse for staying behind anymore!

Let's see what we've got in this release.

Clean stale cache

The CLI has a cache system since v13.0 (see our article), but there is no option to clean the cache (other than manually deleting the .angular folder). This is an issue, as the cache grows bigger and bigger. This release does not add a command to clean the cache, but the CLI will now automatically purge stale entries from the cache when a new version of the CLI is used.

i18n

The CLI now accepts the i18nDuplicateTranslation option, which allows you to specify whether to throw an error when a translation is duplicated, by specifying "warning", "error" or "ignore". The default value is "warning".

Tailwind CSS v3 support

All is in the title: the CLI now supports Tailwind CSS v3 out of the box!
