Are there any features in Angular 4 that are now obsolete in Angular 6? Or in other words can I use angular 6 library in my application and use all of Angular 4 functionalities in it. I'm new to Angular framework and just wondering should I start with Angular 6 directly or should I first read Angular 4.

Actually there differences of deprecated classes/methods..etc and new ones replacing them. You do NOT need to start with Angular 4 since 6 is not that different except the upgrade like the HTTPClient API for example. If you want to know the difference between version 4.0 (first 4) and version 6.1 (latest 6 at this time) then go to the official upgrade site
and select the versions and Advanced
and see the changes needed on any app running on 4. Most notable change is rxjs 6. Also, the old APIs still work by the way.

Depending on the functionalities that your app has. The differences from Angular 2 to Angular 6 are very small, the main difference was made between Angular 1 or now known as AngularJS and the new Angular (2-6). The differences between all Angular versions are insignificant to the general developer, as they are very small, or there are new ways of doing things, but 99% of the old ones also work.
