Below is a complete list of major versions for Angular.
- Angular 1 (now called Angular JS) (published in 2009)
- Angular 2 (published on 15th of September, 2016)
- Angular 4 (published on 24th of March, 2017)
- Angular 5 (published on 1st of November, 2017)
- Angular 6 (published on 6th of May, 2018)
- Angular 7 (published on 18th of October, 2018)
- Angular 8 (published on 28th of May, 2019)
- Angular 9 (published on 6th of February, 2020)
Angular 3 never existed.
Some say that AngularJS has been named this way (not Angular 1) as it is a completely different framework and it shouldn’t be considered a continuation of patterns.
Developers tend to track the major releases but till the 10th of February 2020 we already had 391 releases of the Angular/Angular repository. Those versions are listed below.

As you can see the oldest version of Angular is a beta v 13 of 2.0.0.There are no older versions on theAngular Github repository.
There were 55 alpha versions of Angular 2, then 17 beta versions and 7 rc versions before the final Angular 2 was released.
You can see that most of the minor versions have at least one beta.
Angular 8 introduced a testing version of the new rendering engine – Ivy. Version 9 introduces the Ivy engine in its full matter. It might be the reason for publishing 16 next versions and 14 rc versions of Angular 9.
