### BREAKING CHANGES
* Perviously, any provider that had an ngOnDestroy lifecycle hook would be created eagerly.
Now, only classes that are annotated with @Component, @Directive, @Pipe, @NgModule are eager. Providers only become eager if they are either directly or transitively injected into one of the above.
This also makes all `useValue` providers eager, which
should have no observable impact other than code size.
**EXPECTED IMPACT**:
Making providers eager was an incorrect behavior and never documented.
Also, providers that are used by a directive / pipe / ngModule stay eager.
* **router:** do not finish bootstrap until all the routes are resolved ([#15121](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/15121)) ([34403cd](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/34403cd))

We are excited to share 4.0.0-RC.1 with the community. This is a feature-complete pre-release of 4.0.0. Upgrade to get to know the new features to be released in 4.0.0, and to help us validate the release.
It’s important to note that this release has been tested extensively. All Angular applications within Google use the master branch of Angular, so every commit is tested and validated at scale prior to any release.
## We Need Your Help
Please give this RC a try and test it with your projects! We have spent a significant amount of time working to ensure that this release is backwards compatible and will work with your existing code, but you may have use cases we haven’t anticipated. If you are broken by this release, let us know so that we can look into it right away. We are also looking for feedback related to the ergonomics of any newly added APIs.
## What’s New
### View Engine
We’ve made changes under to hood to what AOT generated code looks like. These changes should reduce the size of the generated code for your components by more than half in some cases. Read the [Design Doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/195L4WaDSoI_kkW094LlShH6gT3B7K1GZpSBnnLkQR-g/preview) for the View Engine updates.
### Enhanced `*ngIf` syntax
Our template binding syntax now supports a couple helpful changes. You can now use an if/else style syntax, and assign local variables such as when unrolling an observable.
<div*ngIf="userObservable | async; else loading; let user">
{{ user.name }}
</div>
```
### Animation Package
We have pulled Animations into their own package. This means that if you don’t use Animations, this extra code will not end up in your production bundles. This also allows you to more easily find documentation and to take better advantage of autocompletion. If you do need animations, libraries like Material will automatically import the module (once you install it via NPM), or you can add it yourself to your main NgModule.
### TypeScript 2.1
We’ve updated Angular to a more recent version of TypeScript. This will improve the speed of `ngc` and you will get better type checking throughout your application.
### StrictNullChecks
Angular is now compliant with [TypeScript’s StrictNullChecks](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-2-0.html). This means that you can enable StrictNullChecks in your project, if desired.
### Universal
Universal, the project that allows developers to run Angular on a server, is now up to date with Angular again, and has been adopted by the Angular team. This release now includes the results of the work from the Universal team over the last few months. The majority of the Universal code is now in platform-server. To learn more about this change, take a look the new [`renderModuleFactory`](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/56f232cdd70a352cb9151bc7cfe8981bc2710ea6/modules/%40angular/platform-server/src/utils.ts#L63-L72) method, or Rob Wormald’s [Demo Repository](https://github.com/robwormald/ng-universal-demo/). More documentation is forthcoming.
We now ship flattened versions of our modules ("rolled up" version of our code in the EcmaScript Module format, see [example file](https://github.com/angular/core-builds/blob/85cbe3f8d6107af033b0f8b56456c181cbcb5eb7/%40angular/core.js)). This format should help tree-shaking, help reduce the size of your generated bundles, and speed up build, transpilation, and loading in the browser in certain scenarios.
We now also ship our packages in the ES2015 Flat ESM format. This option is experimental and opt-in (configure your webpack to resolve ["es2015" property](https://github.com/angular/core-builds/blob/dc0c8d828a8bae6591d2b9c77974271481af818c/package.json#L7) in package.json over the regular ["module" property](https://github.com/angular/core-builds/blob/dc0c8d828a8bae6591d2b9c77974271481af818c/package.json#L6)).
## Known Issues
The following is a list of known issues that will be fixed in the next rcs.
- Source maps are missing in npm packages
- Generated bundles will be larger temporarily while we validate new code paths and remove old ones
- angular.io docs have not been updated to reflect API changes in 4.0
- legacy UMD bundles don't have correct RxJS mappings when running in ES5 mode without a module system
*If you rely on Animations* you’ll also need to install the animations package `@angular/animations` and import the new `BrowserAnimationsModule` from `@angular/platform-browser/animations` in your root NgModule. Without this, your code will compile and run, but animations won’t activate.
Imports from `@angular/core` were deprecated, use imports from the new package `import { trigger, state, style, transition, animate } from '@angular/animations';`.
We have [three more release candidates scheduled](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/docs/RELEASE_SCHEDULE.md) before our planned GA the week of March 22. In the meantime we'll be looking for your feedback, fixing bugs and working on docs.

### BREAKING CHANGES
* core: Because all lifecycle hooks are now interfaces the code that uses 'extends' keyword will no longer compile. Introduced by ([ee747f7](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/ee747f7)).
To migrate the code follow the example below:
Before:
```
@Component()
class SomeComponent extends OnInit {}
```
After:
```
@Component()
class SomeComponent implements OnInit {}
```
Based on our research we don't expect anyone to be affected by this change.
*`RootRenderer` cannot be used any more, use `RendererFactoryV2` instead. Introduced by ([ccb636c](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/ccb636c)).

### DEPRECATIONS
* core: `KeyValueDifferFactory` and `IterableDifferFactory` no longer have `ChangeDetectorRef` as
a parameter. It was not used and has been there for historical reasons. If you call
`DifferFactory.create(...)` remove the `ChangeDetectorRef` argument. Introduced by ([#14311](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/14311)).
### BREAKING CHANGES
* common: Classes that derive from `AsyncPipe` and override
`transform()` might not compile correctly. The much more common use of `async` pipe in
templates is unaffected. We expect no or little impact on apps from this change, file an issue if we break you. Introduced by ([#14367](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/14367)) ([4da7925](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/4da7925)).
* Mitigation: Update derived classes of `AsyncPipe` that override `transform()` to include the type parameter overloads.

### BREAKING CHANGES
* common: A definition of `Iterable<T>` is now required to correctly compile
Angular applications. Support for `Iterable<T>` is not required at
runtime but a type definition `Iterable<T>` must be available.
`NgFor`, and now `NgForOf<T>`, already supports `Iterable<T>` at
runtime. With this change the type definition is updated to reflect
this support.
Migration:
- add "es2015.iterable.ts" to your tsconfig.json "libs" fields.
Part of #12398
* upgrade: Previously, `upgrade/static/downgradeInjectable` returned an array of the form:
```js
['dep1', 'dep2', ..., function factory(dep1, dep2, ...) { ... }]
```
Now it returns a function with an `$inject` property:
```js
factory.$inject = ['dep1', 'dep2', ...];
function factory(dep1, dep2, ...) { ... }
```
It shouldn't affect the behavior of apps, since both forms are equally suitable
to be used for registering AngularJS injectable services, but it is possible
that type-checking might fail or that current code breaks if it relies on the

### PEER-DEPENDENCY UPDATES ###
* **core**: zone.js@0.6.17
* **core**: rxjs@5.0.0-beta.11
* **core**: reflect-metadata dependency is now optional when in AOT mode
* npm packages: code in ESM (ES6 Modules) format is now published at the default location in the npm package with `package.json`'s `main` entry pointing to an UMD bundle (primarily for node, and webpack 1 users).
If you are using SystemJS to load Angular, you should adjust your SystemJS configuration to point to the UMD bundles (present in the npm package).
Please see this [example SystemJS config](https://github.com/angular/quickstart/blob/3b7452cc444c49c139ea39523ced0468c2362c16/systemjs.config.js#L17-L34).
* testing config: due to zone.js peer-dependency upgrade, the order in which various zone specs are loaded has changed.
* core: Previously inconsistently named APIs SanitizationService and DomSanitizationService were renamed to Sanitizer and DomSanitizer
* core: previously deprecated @Component.directives and @Component.pipes support was removed.
All the components and pipes now must be declared via an NgModule. NgModule is the basic compilation block passed into the Angular compiler via Compiler#compileModuleSync or #compileModuleAsync.
Because of this change, the Compiler#compileComponentAsync and #compileComponentSync were removed as well - any code doing compilation should compile module instead using the APIs mentioned above.
Lastly, since modules are the basic compilation unit, the ngUpgrade module was modified to always require an NgModule to be passed into the UpgradeAdapter's constructor - previously this was optional.
* core: deprecated ComponentResolver was removed. Please use ComponentFactoryResolver instead.
* core: animations defined using an at-symbol prefix that are not property bound are now invalid.
* core: deprecated disposePlatform was removed; see deprecation notice for migration instructions.
* core: deprecated DirectiveMetadataType#properties and DirectiveMetadataType#events were removed; see deprecation notice for migration instructions.
* core: deprecated lockRunMode was removed; see deprecation notice for migration instructions.
* core: deprecated DebugNode#inject was removed, see deprecation notice for migration instructions.
* core: deprecated Query and ViewQuery were removed; see deprecation notice for migration instructions.
* core/testing: deprecated TestComponentBuilder was removed, please use TestBed instead
* compiler: Previously deprecated`#` and `var` are not supported any more in expressions within templates, use `let`:
-`var-<name>` cannot be used any more on templates, use `let-<name>`
-`var-<name>` cannot be used any more to create a reference, use `ref-<name>`
* http: any code which relies on the fact that a newly created Headers object is referencing an existing Headers map is now broken, but that should normally not be the case since this behavior is not documented and not in accordance with the spec.
* http: previously deprecated HTTP_PROVIDERS and JSONP_PROVIDERS were removed; see deprecation notice for migration instructions.
* platform-browser-dynamic: `CACHED_TEMPLATE_PROVIDER` is now renamed to `RESOURCE_CACHE_PROVIDER`
import {RESOURCE_CACHE_PROVIDER} from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
```
* common: previously deprecated NgSwitchWhen directive was removed, use NgSwitchCase instead
* common: previously deprecated ReplacePipe was removed
* upgrade: deprecated UpgradeAdapter#addProvider was removed, see deprecation notice for migration instructions.
* forms: deprecated `provideForms()` and `disableDeprecatedForms()` functions have been removed. Please import the `FormsModule` or the `ReactiveFormsModule` from @angular/forms instead.
* forms: deprecated forms APIs in @angular/common have been removed. Please update to the new forms API in @angular/forms. See angular.io for more information.
* webworkers: web worker platform is now exported via separate packages.
Please use @angular/platform-webworker and @angular/platform-webworker-dynamic

-`ApplicationRef.run` is deprecated. Use `NgZone.run` directly
-`ApplicationRef.injector` is deprecated. Inject an `Injector` or
use `NgModuleRef.injector` instead
-`ApplicationRef.zone` is deprecated. Inject `NgZone` instead.
* testing: `TestInjector` is now renamed to `TestBed`
Before:
```js
import {TestInjector, getTestInjector} from '@angular/core/testing';
```
After:
```js
import {TestBed, getTestBed} from '@angular/core/testing';
```
* http: The behavior in this commit is the same as before PR 7260 : the objects sent with the request are converted to a string, therefore there is no need for the user to take care of the serialization.
* platform-browser: The following API was never intended to be public and is removed:
```js
import {verifyNoBrowserErrors} from '@angular/platform-browser/testing_e2e';
```
Consider using Protractor's console plugin: https://github.com/angular/protractor-console-plugin
* ICU:
"{" is used a a delimiter for ICU messages then it could not be used in text nodes.
- Instead of `coreBootstrap`, create an `@NgModule` and use `bootstrapModule`.
- Instead of `coreLoadAndBootstarp`, create an `@NgModule` and use `bootstrapModuleFactory`.
- Instead of `bootstrapWorkerApp`, create an `@NgModule` that includes the `WorkerAppModule` and use `bootstrapModule` with the `workerAppPlatform()`.
- Instead of `bootstrapWorkerUi`, create an @AppModule that includes the `WorkerUiModule` and use `bootstrapModule` with the `workerUiPlatform()` instead.
- Instead of `serverBootstrap`, create an @AppModule and use `bootstrapModule` with the `serverDynamicPlatform()` instead.
- Instead of `PLATFORM_PIPES` and `PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES`, provide platform directives/pipes via an `@NgModule`.
- Instead of `ComponentResolver`:
- use `ComponentFactoryResolver` together with `@NgModule.entryComponents` or `ANALYZE_FOR_ENTRY_COMPONENTS` provider for dynamic component creation.
- use `NgModuleFactoryLoader` for lazy loading.
- Instead of `SystemJsComponentResolver`, create an `@NgModule` and use `SystemJsNgModuleLoader`.
- Instead of `SystemJsCmpFactoryResolver`, create an `@NgModule` and use `SystemJsNgModuleFactoryLoader`
We have removed the deprecated form directives from the built-in platform directive list, so apps are not required to package forms with their app. This also makes forms friendly to offline compilation.
Instead, we have exposed three modules:
OLD API:
-`DeprecatedFormsModule`
NEW API:
-`FormsModule`
-`ReactiveFormsModule`
If you provide one of these modules, the default forms directives and providers from that module will be available to you app-wide. Note: You can provide both the `FormsModule` and the `ReactiveFormsModule` together if you like, but they are fully-functional separately.
**Before:**
```ts
import {disableDeprecatedForms, provideForms} from @angular/forms;
bootstrap(App, [
disableDeprecatedForms(),
provideForms()
]);
```
**After:**
```ts
import {DeprecatedFormsModule} from @angular/common;
* ngModel: `ngModel` is now always asynchronous when updating. This means that in tests, instead of calling `ComponentFixture.detectChanges`, you'll need to use `ComponentFixture.whenStable`, which is asynchronous.
Before:
```js
let fixture = TestBed.createComponent(InputComp);
fixture.detectChanges();
let inputBox = <HTMLInputElement> fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('input')).nativeElement;
expect(inputBox.value).toEqual('Original Name');
```
After:
```js
let fixture = TedBed.createComponent(InputComp);
fixture.whenStable().then(() => {
let inputBox = <HTMLInputElement> fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('input')).nativeElement;

### BREAKING CHANGES
* Location#platformStrategy property was previously accidentally exported as public
If any application requires access to the current location strategy, it should be accessed via DI instead
by injecting the LocationStrategy token.
The likelihood of anyone actually depending on this property is very low.
* DirectiveNormalizer takes new constructor arguments, `config:CompilerConfig`.
*`Parser` constructor required new parameter `config: CompilerConfig` as second argument.
* Bundles are now in the bundles/ subdirectory within each package
* HTML, style values, and URLs are now automatically sanitized. Values that do not match are escaped
In the meantime make sure to correctly escape all values that go into the DOM.
*** SECURITY WARNING ***
- source maps for umd bundles are missing
-`Ruler` service is not being reexported via `@angular/platform-browser`

* - pipes now take a variable number of arguments, and not an array that contains all arguments.
* inject can no longer wrap fakeAsync while fakeAsync can wrap inject. So the order in existing tests with inject and fakeAsync has to be switched as follows:
Before:
```
inject([...], fakeAsync((...) => {...}))
```
After:
```
fakeAsync(inject([...], (...) => {...}))
```
You will also need to add the dependency
`'node_modules/zone.js/dist/fake-async-test.js'`
as a served file in your Karma or other test configuration.
* - Injector was renamed into `ReflectiveInjector`,
as `Injector` is only an abstract class with one method on it
-`Injector.getOptional()` was changed into `Injector.get(token, notFoundValue)`
to make implementing injectors simpler
-`ViewContainerRef.createComponent` now takes an `Injector`
instead of `ResolvedProviders`. If a reflective injector
should be used, create one before calling this method.
(e.g. via `ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(…)`.
* - `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoLocation` has been removed. Use `@ViewChild(‘myVar’, {read: ViewContainerRef})` to get hold of a `ViewContainerRef` at an element with variable `myVar`. Then call `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation`.
-`DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` now takes a `ViewContainerRef` instead of an `ElementRef`.
-`AppViewManager` is renamed into `ViewUtils` and is a mere private utility service.
* - `Compiler` is renamed to `ComponentResolver`,
`Compiler.compileInHost` has been renamed to `ComponentResolver.resolveComponent`.
-`ComponentRef.dispose` is renamed to `ComponentRef.destroy`
-`ViewContainerRef.createHostView` is renamed to `ViewContainerRef.createComponent`
-`ComponentFixture_` has been removed, the class `ComponentFixture`
can now be created directly as it is no more using private APIs.
*`Location` and other related providers have been moved out of `router` and into `platform/common`. `BrowserPlatformLocation` is not meant to be used directly however advanced configurations may use it via the following import change.
Before:
```
import {
PlatformLocation,
Location,
LocationStrategy,
HashLocationStrategy,
PathLocationStrategy,
APP_BASE_HREF}
from 'angular2/router';
import {BrowserPlatformLocation} from 'angular2/src/router/location/browser_platform_location';
```
After:
```
import {
PlatformLocation,
Location,
LocationStrategy,
HashLocationStrategy,
PathLocationStrategy,
APP_BASE_HREF}
from 'angular2/platform/common';
import {BrowserPlatformLocation} from 'angular2/src/platform/browser/location/browser_platform_location';

can be easily loaded by including the angular-polyfills.js bundle.
* The `external-dependencies.js` bundle was removed.
Use `angular-polyfills.js` instead.
* Number and content of UMD bundles have changed:
- we only publish one bundle that contains: core, common, platform/browser, http, router, instrumentation and upgrade
- exported names have changed and now:
- core is exported as `ng.core`
- common is exported as `ng.common`
- platform/browser is exported as `ng.platform.browser`
- http is exported as `ng.http`
- router is exported as `ng.router`
- instrumentation is exported as `ng.instrumentation`

### BREAKING CHANGES
* AMBIENT_DIRECTIVES -> PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES
* AMBIENT_PIPES -> PLATFORM_PIPES
* Previously, the controlsErrors getter of ControlGroup and ControlArray returned the errors of their direct children. This was confusing because the result did not include the errors of nested children (ControlGroup -> ControlGroup -> Control). Making controlsErrors to include such errors would require inventing some custom serialization format, which applications would have to understand.
Since controlsErrors was just a convenience method, and it was causing confusing, we are removing it. If you want to get the errors of the whole form serialized into a single object, you can manually traverse the form and accumulate the errors. This way you have more control over how the errors are serialized.

* **router:** Support unsubscription from Location by returning the subscription. ([2674eac](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/2674eac))
* **validators:** Add a pending state to AbstractControl ([c9fba3f](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/c9fba3f))
* **validators:** Allow errors at both the group/array level or their children ([28d88c5](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/28d88c5))
### BREAKING CHANGES
#### ControlGroup.errors and ControlArray.errors have changed
* Before: ControlGroup.errors and ControlArray.errors returned a reduced value of their children controls' errors.
* After: ControlGroup.errors and ControlArray.errors return the errors of the group and array, and ControlGroup.controlsErrors and ControlArray.controlsErrors return the reduce value of their children controls' errors.
#### Errors format has changed from validators
Now errors from a control or an array's children are prefixed with 'controls' while errors from the object itself are left at the root level.
**Example:**
Given a Control group as follows:
```
var group = new ControlGroup({
login: new Control("", required),
password: new Control("", required),
passwordConfirm: new Control("", required)
});
```
*Before:*
```
group.errors
{
login: {required: true},
password: {required: true},
passwordConfirm: {required: true},
}
```
*After:*
```
group.errors
{
controls: {
login: {required: true},
password: {required: true},
passwordConfirm: {required: true},
}
}
```
#### Pipes are now associated right to left
* Before: `1 + 1 | pipe:a | pipe:b` was parsed as `(1 + 1) | pipe:(a | pipe:b)`
* After: `1 + 1 | pipe:a | pipe:b` is parsed as `((1 + 1) | pipe:a) | pipe:b`
#### NgZone Moved to Stream/Observable-based callback API
* deprecates these methods in NgZone: overrideOnTurnStart, overrideOnTurnDone, overrideOnEventDone, overrideOnErrorHandler
* introduces new API in NgZone that may shadow other API used by existing applications.
#### Directives no longer match to variable names
You can no longer use a #foo or a var-foo to apply directive [foo], although it didn't work properly anyway.
