Zone.js support going forward

[kamran-a00]

With the latest version of ngx-bootstrap requiring applications to migrate to zoneless, will older applications be unable to use any newer versions of ngx-bootstrap until they have migrated? Is there any way for an application to still use Zone.js with ngx-bootstrap, at least until it has migrated?

Hi, as Angular also moving forward and with the resource that we have right now, unfortunatelly we can't support zone.js approach as well. There's a v21 available as the last one with zone.js support and v21.2 and above won't have it.

If there're enough people interested we could figure something out with the help from community, but going forward I don't see the need to support zone.js.

We have several large legacy projects that cannot easily be migrated to a zoneless setup. When upgrading to Angular 21, we did not encounter any issues using the current version of ngx-bootstrap, even though we are still using Zone.js.
Is the note implying that a project using ngx-bootstrap must necessarily be zoneless?
My understanding is that this should not be an issue for projects that use ngx-bootstrap and are not zoneless. Is that correct?

@MarieOlligesgeersVattenfall you are correct, but as support is a more broad term in a sense of potential bugfixes, and creating more bootstrap components implementations what I mean that zoneless environment would be something we look for first, and potential zone.js issues occuring might be sidelined, etc.
