Release Notes: https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/wiki/Releases 

October, 6th, 2021 (v20211006)

• Crash in Closure Compiler if languageOut is incompatible with ZoneJS. This  only happens when the compiler detects ZoneJS as one of the inputs. This is    because ZoneJS is incompatible with async functions (see https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/31730)
• Added `--assume_static_inheritance_is_not_used` flag. It is on by default to be consistent with the previous behavior of the compiler. Setting it to false will make the compiler expect to see references to static methods via `this` in static methods or via subclass names and avoid changes that could break that.
• Don't parse types in JSDoc @throws annotations anymore. Types become part of  the textual description of the throws annotation.
• Externs for `Proxy` are now included by default. Fix output directory of `--print_source_after_each_pass` flag to be consistent with released notes.
• Changed diagnostic type name for overriding final methods from  `JSC_CONSTANT_PROPERTY_REASSIGNED_VALUE` to `JSC_FINAL_PROPERTY_OVERRIDDEN`. The canonical way of suppressing this error is now `@suppress {visibility}`.  `@suppress {const}` and `@suppress {constProperty}` will still work until we finish cleaning up existing usages.
• Deleted @deprecated `setAliasAllStrings`. Please use   `setAliasStringsMode(AliasStringsMode.ALL)` to alias all repeated strings, which is the same behavior as `setAliasAllStrings(true)`.
• Added String.raw polyfill.
• Update public method names in JSDocInfo to be consistent with other record*    named methods
• Add support for parsing and printing JSDoc text descriptions after @suppress   annotation
• Do not mark indirect calls to functions as useless code. Indirecting calls in the form `(0, prefix.myFn)()` prevents passing prefix as the this context object to myFn, which is useful. This fixes a dead code removal with TypeScript 4.4, which uses this pattern for functions imported from modules.

Please note that the webservice(closure-compiler.appspot.com) has yet not been updated due to minor issues from our side, and will be updated whenever the issue has been resolved.
