Full Changelog: v9.0.0...18.0.0

Breaking Change

• All the inputs are now signal based so the [dataSource] should be a signal based.

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `
    <ngu-carousel #myCarousel [dataSource]="data()">
        ...
    </ngu-carousel>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  data = signal([1,2,3]);

  updateData() {
    // always return a new array so that signal notify the changes
    this.data.update(d => [...d, 4]);
  }
}

• All the public APIs are now signal based

- myCarousel.pointNumbers -> myCarousel.pointNumbers()
- myCarousel.isFirst -> myCarousel.isFirst()
- myCarousel.isLast -> myCarousel.isLast()
- myCarousel.activePoint -> myCarousel.activePoint()

Performance

• Zoneless support is added.
• By using the signal inputs we are now only render the new data when input signal values changes, instead of checking on every change detection via ngDoCheck.
