9 sourcesI created a new project using @angular/cli 1.6 which the release says is tied to Angular 5.1: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/releases/tag/v1.6.0
But all npm package.json dependencies are still anchored on the same ^5.0.0 dependencies that ng v1.5.0 had and still depends on typescript "~2.4.2", basically ignoring the 5.1 announcement.
How can we create a new Angular 5.1 App using ng? Are we meant to manually change all dependencies to ^5.1.0
In Angular 5.1 and More Now Available`ng serve --aot` will be default?
thanks... please fix: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/6742 before..

Just install @angular/cli create a project and a few components and check it out: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli
In Angular 4.0.0 Now AvailableThe inability to customize webpack was sometimes a pain point for me. There were a few things I wanted to do that would have been much easier if I could just play around with it. Fortunately, they've added the ability to get yourself a webpack config!

In Using Neutrino to jump-start modern JavaScript developmentFor those thinking about Angular2, I would recommend angular-cli[1] and then going through the tutorials in Angular documentation[2].
Angular-cli because it provides a scaffold for getting started with the project and getting something up and running. The documentation feels pretty good. I like the example app they are building and the documentation format (they provide the full source code for the files right there in the documentation, no need to navigate to somewhere else).
