BREAKING CHANGES:
- `ShadowDomStrategy` was removed. To specify the encapsulation of a component use `@View(encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.NONE | ViewEncapsulation.EMULATED | ViewEncapsulation.NATIVE)`
- The default encapsulation strategy is now `ViewEncapsulation.EMULATED` if a component contains styles and `ViewEncapsulation.NONE` if it does not. Before this was always `NONE`.
- `ViewLoader` now returns the template as a string and the styles as a separate array
Angular fetches template HTML files outside of the browser's normal parsing flow. As a result, URLs in template files are interpreted relative to the root application, when the components defined by the template files are inserted into the DOM. This change enables a template author to prefix URLs with the string $baseUrl, which will be replaced with the relative base path of the template file.
So for an example template loaded from /component/foo/template.html:
<img src="$baseUrl/logo.png" />
becomes:
<img src="/component/foo/logo.png" />
