### BREAKING CHANGES
* The existing sfx bundle (angular2.sfx.dev.js) is replaced by UMD bundles:
angular2.umd.js and angular2.umd.dev.js. The new UMD bundles dont have
polyfills (zone.js, reflect-metadata) pre-appended. Those polyfills
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`

* **dart/transform:** Restrict visibility/mutability of codegen ([45b33c5](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/45b33c5)), closes [#5009](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/5009)
### 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.

* **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.

* Directives that previously injected Pipes to get iterableDiff or keyvalueDiff, now should inject IterableDiffers and KeyValueDiffers.
* Previously, if an element had a property, Angular would update that property even if there was a directive placed on the same element with the same property. Now, the directive would have to explicitly update the native elmement by either using hostProperties or the renderer.
