<p><strong>TLDR:</strong> Angular 22 is out with zoneless change detection on by default, Signal Forms stable, and Vitest replacing Karma — a genuinely significant release for Angular shops. The <a href="http://polyfill.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">polyfill.io</a> supply chain attack from 2024 is active again: the domain started responding with HTTP 401s in late May, triggering browser login prompts on Toshiba, Muji, Samsung, and other sites that never cleaned up the old script tag. Cloudflare’s VoidZero acquisition is getting more coverage today, with community reaction ranging from cautious optimism to concern about long-term vendor influence. TypeScript’s Go-based compiler (TSGO) is available in preview now, dropping a 97-second VS Code build to about 10 seconds.</p>

<h2>Angular 22 ships zoneless by default, Signal Forms stable, Vitest replaces Karma</h2>
<p>Angular 22 makes ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush the default for all new components and drops Zone.js from the default setup — a migration tool handles existing apps. Signal Forms are now stable, replacing Reactive Forms with a signal-native model. Vitest is the new default test runner, replacing Karma/Jasmine. Other additions worth noting: incremental hydration is now the default for SSR, httpResource and rxResource provide declarative async data fetching, and Angular Aria ships stable with headless accessibility primitives. Angular Material dialogs also gain direct component bindings, eliminating the MAT_DIALOG_DATA injection workaround. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=TPdETu6WA&amp;id=3zDYpVWvU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></p>
<h2><a href="http://Polyfill.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Polyfill.io</a> domain reactivated, serving HTTP 401s that trigger browser login prompts</h2>
<p>The polyfill[.]io domain — seized in the 2024 supply chain attack when a Chinese entity injected malicious scripts into over 100,000 sites — went active again in late May 2026. It’s now responding with HTTP 401 authentication challenges, causing browsers to display login prompts on any site that still loads the old script. Toshiba, Muji, Zojirushi, FiNC Technologies, and Samsung Smart TV sites are confirmed affected. No credential theft has been confirmed yet, but the attack surface is real: users who enter credentials into those unexpected prompts are at risk.

<h2>TypeScript Go compiler preview cuts a 97-second VS Code build to 10 seconds</h2>
<p>The TypeScript team’s Go rewrite (TSGO, shipping as TypeScript 7.0) is available now via <code>npm install @typescript/native-preview</code>, with a VS Code extension in the marketplace. The speedup comes from native execution and shared-memory parallelism across all CPU cores — the live demo on the VS Code codebase showed a full build dropping from roughly 97 seconds to about 10 seconds. VS Code, Slack, Notion, and Figma are already running it, and one Microsoft team reported saving 400 CI hours per month. The port used automated scripts and AI agents to translate the codebase file by file, reusing existing tests throughout. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/A5w77sEDG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></p>
<h2>Cloudflare/VoidZero acquisition: community reaction and what changes for Vite</h2>
<p>The Cloudflare acquisition of VoidZero is generating continued discussion today. The concrete commitments: $1M ecosystem fund administered by the Vite core team, all tools stay MIT-licensed, and Vite becomes the foundation for Cloudflare’s unified CLI (cf dev as a superset of vite dev). Vite is at ~129M weekly downloads. Developer reaction is split — Cloudflare’s track record with Astro is cited as a positive precedent, while the BastionZero shutdown gets raised as a counterexample. This is covered in the previous digest but the community conversation is still active and worth watching. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=OWxEbcxOB&amp;id=zm5JNJI3T&amp;id=hl5O5iaLH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></p>
