BREAKING CHANGE:
- Renderer:
* renderComponent method is removed form `Renderer`, only present on `RootRenderer`
* Renderer.setDebugInfo is removed. Renderer.createElement / createText / createTemplateAnchor
now take the DebugInfo directly.
- Query semantics:
* Queries don't work with dynamically loaded components.
* e.g. for router-outlet: loaded components can't be queries via @ViewQuery,
but router-outlet emits an event `activate` now that emits the activated component
- Exception classes and the context inside changed (renamed fields)
- DebugElement.attributes is an Object and not a Map in JS any more
- ChangeDetectorGenConfig was renamed into CompilerConfig
- AppViewManager.createEmbeddedViewInContainer / AppViewManager.createHostViewInContainer
are removed, use the methods in ViewContainerRef instead
- Change detection order changed:
* 1. dirty check component inputs
* 2. dirty check content children
* 3. update render nodes

Reflector always returns either an empty object or an empty list if no
metadata is recorded for the class. StaticReflector matches this
behavior.
Closes#7986
using "/// <reference" is incorrect because it makes our code non-portable. The correct solution is to provide
these typings as ambient typings as an additional entry point - which we already do.
Closes#8050
To workaround https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/7573
we must remove the readonly keyword from generated .d.ts files.
This solution will not scale, but will probably buy enough time to require our users move to a 2.0 beta.
Closes#8003
In Dart, ImmutableLists are just a projection of an underlying list.
I.e. if the underlying list changes, the ImmutableList also changes.
So we can't make optimizations based on checking whether a collection
is an ImmutableList.
This reverts commit a10c02cb4107624b58b4b3f54da6bf0e0e70c6c6.
Closes#8023
Useful for avoiding doing an actual XHR during testing.
Part of the solution for #4051 (Other part is a Karma plugin that will create the template cache).
Closes#7940
Replace direct uses of `print` in the transformer with explicit uses of
stderr.
Add a few @override annotations for clarification of other `print`
implementations.
Clarify error message on incorrect custom_annotations value.
Closes#7855
