Angular 2 and 4 Major differences?

Question

Actually im new to angular JS. We started to learn angular 4 but there are no much tutorials on angular 4. If it is fine to learn Angular 2 for Angular 4, Hope there was no much differences between 2 and 4.

Can any one provide link of angular 4 and what are the major changes between them.

There is nothing path breaking between angular 2 and angular 4 like angular 1 and angular 2. They are just doing it to maintain SEMVER(Sementic Versioning). Angular 2 is stable now so it would be better to prefer angular 2 instead of angular 4.

Angular 2 was a complete rewrite of AngularJS 1.x with many new concepts. Angular 4 however is the next version of Angular 2. The underlying concepts are still the same and if you have already learned Angular 2 you’re well prepared to switch to Angular 4 now.

The reason it’s Angular 4 and not Angular 3 is that the Angular Router package has already been in version 3 before. The Angular team would like to avoid confusion and decided to skip version 3 for Angular and continue with Version 4.

Angular 4 is just relased but mostly we are using angular 2 plugins only. There is nothing much worry about angular 4. – user2215155 Jun 30 '17 at 19:37

I found some major differences in Angular2 and Angular4

1. Angular2 displays all the .JS files into the app.component folder but in Angular4 it is in encrypted mode for the developer.
2.If we create any new component we need to come and change the app.module.ts files every time but with respect to Angular4, it's automatically attached whenever we create a new component.
