While authoring this document we agreed to pushing off the 4.0.0 release by one week by adding one more RC week (compared to the original plan).
We announced that RC would take 1 month, but then I did the calendar math incorrectly.
This schedule change will give community more time to test the release before we call it done and report any potential regression or unforeseen issues.
This was a poorly typed attempt to mimic TypeScript's index signatures,
which we can use instead.
This eliminates a very strange type that we were exposing to users, but
not re-exporting through our public API.
Fixes#4483
Some of our class/interface members are "package private". Typescript doesn't have this concept, so we need to hide them
via the @private doc annotation.
Closes#4262Closes#4264
This change moves many APIs to the angular2/core export.
This change also automatically adds FORM_BINDINGS in
the application root injector.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Many dependencies that were previously exported from specific
APIs are now exported from angular2/core. Affected exports, which
should now be included from angular2/core include:
angular2/forms
angular2/di
angular2/directives
angular2/change_detection
angular2/bootstrap (except for dart users)
angular2/render
angular2/metadata
angular2/debug
angular2/pipes
Closes#3977
Previously the type remap was not being applied to comments and free floating functions.
The nunjucks template was becoming unreadable so rather than making a tweak there I
rewrote it into imperative code that is much easier to follow.
The output was diffed against the old output. The diff contained only the expected changes.
BREAKING CHANGE (maybe)
Well as long as our customers use public API this should not be a
breaking change, but we have changed import structure as well as
internal names, so it could be breaking.
import:
angular2/annotations => angular2/metadata
Classes:
*Annotations => *Metadata
renderer.DirectiveMetadata => renderer.RendererDirectiveMetadata
renderer.ElementBinder => renderer.RendererElementBinder
impl.Directive => impl.DirectiveMetadata
impl.Component => impl.ComponentMetadata
impl.View => impl.ViewMetadata
Closes#3660
Allows declaring a bundle's namespace in generated typings file,
which should correspond to the global object representing the module
inside its bundle.
BREAKING CHANGE
The router was previously exported as ng.router in the
angular.sfx.dev.js bundle, but now it is exported as ngRouter.
