+# 21.0.0-next.6 (2025-10-02)
+## Breaking Changes
+### elements
+- Fix signal input getter behavior in custom elements.
+  
+  Before this change, signal inputs in custom elements required function calls to access their values (`elementRef.newInput()`), while decorator inputs were accessed directly (`elementRef.oldInput`). This inconsistency caused confusion and typing difficulties.
+  
+  The getter behavior has been standardized so signal inputs can now be accessed directly, matching the behavior of decorator inputs:
+  
+  Before:
+  - Decorator Input: `elementRef.oldInput`
+  - Signal Input: `elementRef.newInput()`
+  
+  After:
+  - Decorator Input: `elementRef.oldInput`
+  - Signal Input: `elementRef.newInput`
