# 22.0.0-next.7 (2026-04-08)

## Breaking Changes

### core

- The second arguement of appRef.bootstrap does not accept `any` anymore. Make sure the element you pass is not nullable.

- * TypeScript versions older than 6.0 are no longer supported.

- `ComponentFactoryResolver` and `ComponentFactory` are no longer available. Pass the component class directly to APIs that previously required a factory, such as `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` or use the standalone `createComponentFunction`.

- `ComponentFactoryResolver` and `ComponentFactory` are no longer available. Pass the component class directly to APIs that previously required a factory, such as `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` or use the standalone `createComponent` function.

### platform-browser

- This removes styles when they appear to no longer be used by an associated `host`. However other DOM on the page may still be affected by those styles if not leveraging `ViewEncapsulation.Emulated` or if those styles are used by elements outside of Angular, potentially causing other DOM to appear unstyled.

### router

- The `currentSnapshot` parameter in `CanMatchFn` and the `canMatch` method of the `CanMatch` interface is now required. While this was already the behavior of the Router at runtime, existing class implementations of `CanMatch` must now include the third argument to satisfy the interface.
