Angular 4 is a JavaScript framework for building web applications and apps in JavaScript, html, and TypeScript, which is a superset of JavaScript. Angular provides built-in features for animation, http service, and materials which in turn has features such as auto-complete, navigation, toolbar, menus, etc.
Angular 4 is just a newer version of Angular than Angular 2.
Angular 2.x.x, and Angular 4.x.x are also named Angular, while the previous version (1.x.x) is named AngularJS.
This name difference indicates that there are major differences, while Angular 4.x.x is only a newer version of Angular than Angular 2.x.x is.
Angular uses semantic versioning since Angular 2, which requires the major number being increased when breaking changes were introduced.
The Angular team postponed features that cause breaking changes, which will be released with Angular 4.
Angular version 3.x.x was skipped to be able to align the version numbers of the core modules, because the Router already had version 3.
To see what changes will be introduced in Angular4 see https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
