RFC 10008 officially adds the HTTP QUERY method, giving complex search APIs a safe, idempotent, body-carrying alternative to POST. A developer's AVIF migration found 18 out of ~300 images actually grew larger after conversion, complicating the 'just use AVIF' advice. The vanilla JS vs framework debate is back, this time with a real production app as evidence. ## Content **TLDR:** Angular 22 is out with OnPush change detection now the default and signal-based forms graduating to stable. RFC 10008 officially adds the HTTP QUERY method, giving complex search APIs a safe, idempotent, body-carrying alternative to POST. A developer's AVIF migration found 18 out of ~300 images actually grew larger after conversion, complicating the 'just use AVIF' advice. The vanilla JS vs framework debate is back, this time with a real production app as evidence. --- ## Angular 22 makes OnPush default and ships signal-based forms as stable Angular 22 landed on June 3, 2026 and it's a meaningful release. OnPush is now the default change detection strategy — the old default is still there, just renamed to Eager. Signal-based forms graduate from developer preview to stable public API. There's also a new @Service() decorator with lazy loading via injectAsync(), incremental hydration enabled by default for SSR, and the Fetch backend replacing XHR for HTTP. The Karma-to-Vitest migration schematic is now stable, and TypeScript 6.0 plus Node.js 26 are supported. Breaking changes include removal of ComponentFactoryResolver, Hammer.js integration, and provideRoutes() — run ng update before assuming a smooth upgrade.

It fills the gap between GET and POST: you get a structured request body like POST, but the method is defined as safe and idempotent, so responses are cacheable and requests are automatically retryable. GET's URL length limits and POST's side-effect semantics have been a real pain point for search APIs and GraphQL query operations. The catch is that current adoption is essentially zero — browsers, CDNs, and servers don't recognize it yet, so you'll need a POST fallback in production for now.

The overall savings were real (65% total reduction), but images with complex alpha transparency and text were the problem cases — WebP already handles those efficiently. This is a follow-up to yesterday's AVIF coverage, and the nuance matters: AVIF excels with photographic content but can underperform on graphics with large transparent areas. Always measure before committing to a format switch.

The argument is that modern browsers have advanced enough that frameworks introduce more complexity than they solve, and that the industry has confused tooling familiarity with actual productivity. They also released two small tools (EHTML and e-ui) for templating and form handling that stay close to the platform. Worth reading alongside the 'two thousand modules to render a button' thread that's circulating today — both are pointing at the same frustration from different angles.
