Enable partial Ivy format for Angular

[BojanKogoj]

Problem Statement

Angular 13+ will remind you of any library, that isn't compiled in partial Ivy and requires using ngcc.

Processing legacy "View Engine" libraries:
- @sentry/angular [es2015/esm2015] (git://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript.git)
Encourage the library authors to publish an Ivy distribution.

Any chance to go Ivy way? I know some users might not be using Ivy yet, but I'd like to get rid of ngcc as soon as possible.

Solution Brainstorm

In tsconfig remove "enableIvy": false.

Hey, thanks for writing in. We've chatted about this in #5253 (comment), and will be addressing this in our next major version, v8. See #5194 (comment) also.

Backlogging this for now. If anyone else is interested in this (or is interested in having this happen before the next major), please leave a reaction to this issue or a comment in the issue itself.

Hi! Is there any roadmap or date, when v8 (with Ivy support) will be released?

[AbhiPrasad]

No timelines for the next major at the moment, cc @vladanpaunovic

@henningtillmann, thanks for your interest!

Sadly I don't have dates to share with you yet.

What I can tell you is that we are currently on v7.9.0 and I don't think it will take us long enough before we jump to version 8.

Once we know more, we will update the milestone.

The version before v7.0.0 was like v6.19.0...

Out of curiosity, how do you decide whether to increment the minor version, versus the patch version? I'm looking at the release history and at a glance it seems inconsistent to me.

[AbhiPrasad]

@jpike88 we follow semantic versioning, so if the release is fixes only we make it a patch, and if it includes new features we make it a minor. There are exceptions to this rule, but 95% of time we follow this.

@vladanpaunovic - version 8.0: No due date, 7% complete

Seems like it will not happen in the nearest 6 months, right?
