### Deprecate and remove IE11 support
IE11 has been preventing Angular from taking advantage of some of the modern features of the Web platform. As part of this project we are going to deprecate and remove IE11 support to open the path for modern features that evergreen browsers provide.

As part of this project we are going to deprecate and remove IE11 support to open the path for modern features that evergreen browsers provide. We ran an [RFC](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/41840) to collected feedback from the community and decide on next steps to move forward.

To ensure we provide a future-proof e2e testing strategy, we want to evaluate the state of Protractor, community innovations, e2e best practices, and explore novel opportunities. As first steps of the effort, we shared an [RFC](https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/5502) and worked with partners to ensure smooth integration between the Angular CLI and state of the art tooling for e2e testing. As the next step, we need to finalize the recommendations and compile a list of resources for the transition.
### Angular libraries use Ivy
Earlier in 2020, we shared an [RFC](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/38366) for Ivy library distribution. After invaluable feedback from the community, we developed a design of the project. We are now investing in the development of Ivy library distribution, including an update of the library package format to use Ivy compilation, unblock the deprecation of the View Engine library format, and [ngcc](https://angular.io/guide/glossary#ngcc).
### Ensure smooth adoption for future RxJS changes (v7 and beyond)
We want to ensure Angular developers are taking advantage of the latest capabilities of RxJS and have a smooth transition to the next major releases of the framework. For this purpose, we will explore and document the scope of the changes in v7 and beyond RxJS and plan an update strategy.

A common problem with web applications is their slow initial load time. A way to improve it is to apply more granular code-splitting on a component level. To encourage this practice, well be working on more ergonomic code-splitting APIs.

With the deprecation of TSLint we will be moving to ESLint. As part of the process, we will work on ensuring backward compatibility with our current recommended TSLint configuration, implement a migration strategy for existing Angular applications and introduce new tooling to the Angular CLI toolchain.
