+**Performance:**
+
+- Introduced a new `experimentalFastVisibility` experiment. Enabling this experiment changes how Cypress performs visibility checks and assertions. Read more about [experimental fast visibility](/app/references/experiments#Experimental-Fast-Visibility). Addresses [#33044](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/33044). Addressed in [#32801](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/32801).

+**Features:**
+
+- `Angular` version 21 is now supported within component testing. Addressed in [#33004](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/33004).
+- Adds zoneless support for `Angular` Component Testing through the `angular-zoneless` mount function. Addresses [#31504](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/31504) and [#30070](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/30070).
