I think a lot of us are anxious because now that angular 2.0 is official our supporting libraries are making it a dependency and leaves us stuck not being to update because of the current ionic beta RC dependency.

@ankushagg93 Wow! Seriously? Delaying.
A delay happens when a deadline is setā¦ there is no deadline, how about you try appreciate what the ionic team (@mhartington) is doing!
If you really need to convince your manager let him have a look at ionic enterprise where they will fix your issue for you or fix it yourself. Just remember ionic is open source, free to use, instead of acting like they owe you an update try appreciating that they gave you the opportunity to build an app for free!! They are doing their best to build the best product and itās just great how they wonāt settle for less.

@fishgrind Obviously nobody owes me anything. Iām just another programmer who loves Ionic and definitely appreciate the humble and amazing Ionic team. Iām seeing them answering questions on ionicforum, github, slackā¦pushing commits day and night so I definitely appreciate their effort to open source.
So many blogs and tweets appreciating the huge performance improvement and beta 12 being the last beta release made me very excited. Delaying is just a word that came out of my mind but I was just wondering whatās going on, any major issue or something? Again nobody owes me that information also.
But Iām glad @mhartington took time and replied with the current status.
Finally, I apologize Ionic team and community for my rude comment that just came out of my excitement. Thanks again for your amazing work.

Does beta 12 use webpack?
Beta 11 announcement in the blog was stating the following:
Build Process Improvements
Beta 12 will debut the new Ionic 2 build process, which will utilize a technique called ātree shaking.ā Tree shaking is used to shrink the build output to include only the JavaScript and CSS of the components being used. To utilize tree shaking, weāre migrating from Browserify to Webpack 2. This will result in significantly faster build times and dramatically reduced bundle sizes. The new build will also include TypeScript 2.0 and the use of npm to manage type definitions.
Plus @brandyshea said before:
There have been several changes to the build processā¦
So I guess we can expect a webpack build in beta 12.
