You can now use every single Ionic overlay component without relying on controllers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consistent Event Emissions<\/strong> &#8211; In the past, ionChange would unexpectedly fire due to value prop changes. Instead, we\u2019ve changed the behavior to better align with native input elements, and ionChange will only fire as a result of user interaction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simplified Form Control Syntax<\/strong> &#8211; Improved compatibility with assistive technologies and less code boilerplate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Performance Improvements<\/strong> &#8211; Tab switches are up to 70% faster than they were in v6 with Ionic React and Ionic Vue. Thanks to optimizations in Stencil, Ionic components initialize quicker than they did in v6 with Ionic Angular.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improved Vite Compatibility<\/strong> &#8211; We\u2019ve removed the CommonJS entry points for Ionic React and Ionic Vue which makes Ionic easier to use with Vite and Vitest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>IonSlides<\/strong> &#8211; This has been removed in favor of using Swiper.js directly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>IonVirtualScroll<\/strong> &#8211; This was an Angular-only solution, and we\u2019ve decided to remove it in order to use a solution provided by more JS Frameworks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ionic.io\/blog\/announcing-the-ionic-7-beta\">Read more about the Ionic 7 changes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">What\u2019s next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Developers can get started with the Ionic 7 beta today by following the <a href=\"https:\/\/ionicframework.com\/docs\/v7\/updating\/7-0\">Ionic 7 Migration Guide<\/a>. Developers should also consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ionic-team\/ionic-framework\/blob\/feature-7.0\/BREAKING.md\">Ionic 7 Breaking Changes Guide<\/a>. Please file any feedback on our <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ionic-team\/ionic-framework\/issues\/new\/choose\">GitHub repo<\/a>. We look forward to shipping Ionic 7 soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Thank You!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to extend a huge thank you to the Ionic community. These changes wouldn\u2019t be possible without the community\u2019s active involvement in GitHub issues and our new <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ionic-team\/ionic-framework\/discussions\">Request For Comments (RFC) process<\/a>.
