Recently, changes were announced for Google’s Material Web Components (MWC). Several developers have reached out to the Angular team to better understand the impact this announcement has on Angular Material. We wanted to take this opportunity to clarify that Angular Material does not use or depend on MWC and is not impacted by this change.

Angular Material continues to be actively supported and developed.

We thought this would be a good opportunity to share more about how we develop Angular Material and in this post we’ll share some of the exciting opportunities that are on the road ahead.
