+
+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* **compiler:** The `<template>` tag was deprecated in Angular v4 to avoid collisions (i.e. when
+using Web Components).
+
+This commit removes support for `<template>`. `<ng-template>` should be used
+instead.
+
+BEFORE:
+
+    <!-- html template -->
+    <template>some template content</template>
+
+    # tsconfig.json
+    {
+      # ...
+      "angularCompilerOptions": {
+        # ...
+        # This option is no more supported and will have no effect
+        "enableLegacyTemplate": [true|false]
+      }
+    }
+
+AFTER:
+
+    <!-- html template -->
+    <ng-template>some template content</ng-template>
+* **core:** it is no longer possible to import
+animation-related functions from @angular/core. All
+animation symbols must now be imported from @angular/animations.
+* after this change, npm and yarn will issue incompatible peerDependencies warning
+
+We don't expect this to actually break an application, but the application/library package.json
+will need to be updated to provide tslib 1.9.0 or higher.
