Angular Lifecycle: End Of Life And Support Status
Last updated on January 11, 2024
Angular is an open-source web application framework that uses the TypeScript programming language. It is primarily used for front-end development of single-page client applications, but can also be used for back-end support.
Angular supersedes AngularJS for which the support has been dropped, and is maintained by Google.
Support status guide
End of life (EOL) is the end of a product’s useful life. When a product reaches the end of its life cycle, the manufacturer no longer supports it. The following table explains the different phases of a product’s lifecycle. Testing status is when the product is initially released and EOL is when product support is no longer offered. The time between these two points is the support timeframe.
Testing
The software is not yet publicly available. It is in testing phase i.e., alpha, beta, release preview etc.
Active
The software is actively supported by the vendor.
Phasing Out
The software will soon reach its end of life. You need to look for upgrade or migration options. The software will automatically go into phasing out status 2 months before end of life.
End Of Life
The software is no longer supported by the vendor. You need to make sure your system and environment are safe.

A major version of Angular is released almost every 6 months. Each major release receives an active support of 6 months through minor updates, during which new features are added and bugs are fixed. After that, the major version enters the security support phase, which is for another 12 months. In total, each major release of Angular receives support for 18 months.
The Angular versions that have been deprecated receive commercial support through the HeroDevs Never-Ending Support initiative.
