Support for using the `ngModel` input property and `ngModelChange`
event with reactive form directives has been deprecated in
Angular v6 and will be removed in Angular v7.
Now deprecated:
```html
<input [formControl]="control" [(ngModel)]="value">
```
```ts
this.value = 'some value';
```
This has been deprecated for a few reasons. First, developers have
found this pattern confusing. It seems like the actual `ngModel`
directive is being used, but in fact it's an input/output property
named `ngModel` on the reactive form directive that simply approximates
(some of) its behavior. Specifically, it allows getting/setting the
value and intercepting value events. However, some of `ngModel`'s other
features - like delaying updates with`ngModelOptions` or exporting the
directive - simply don't work, which has understandably caused some
confusion.
In addition, this pattern mixes template-driven and reactive forms
strategies, which we generally don't recommend because it doesn't take
advantage of the full benefits of either strategy. Setting the value in
the template violates the template-agnostic principles behind reactive
forms, whereas adding a FormControl/FormGroup layer in the class removes
the convenience of defining forms in the template.
To update your code before v7, you'll want to decide whether to stick
with reactive form directives (and get/set values using reactive forms
patterns) or switch over to template-driven directives.
After (choice 1 - use reactive forms):
```html
<input [formControl]="control">
```
```ts
this.control.setValue('some value');
```
After (choice 2 - use template-driven forms):
```html
<input [(ngModel)]="value">
```
```ts
this.value = 'some value';
```
You can also choose to silence this warning by providing a config for
`ReactiveFormsModule` at import time:
```ts
imports: [
ReactiveFormsModule.withConfig({warnOnNgModelWithFormControl: 'never'});
]
```
Alternatively, you can choose to surface a separate warning for each
instance of this pattern with a config value of `"always"`. This may
help to track down where in the code the pattern is being used as the
code is being updated.
Note: `warnOnNgModelWithFormControl` is set up as deprecated so that it
can be removed in v7 when it is no longer needed. This will not display
properly in API docs yet because dgeni doesn't yet support deprecating
properties in object literals, but we have an open issue to resolve the
discrepancy here: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/22640.

"ng update" supports having multiple packages as part of a group which should be updated together, meaning that e.g. calling "ng update @angular/core" would be equivalent to updating all packages of the group (that are part of the package.json already).
In order to support the grouping feature, the package.json of the version the user is updating to needs to include an "ng-update" key that points to this metadata.
The entire specification for the update workflow can be found here: 2e8b12a4ef/docs/specifications/update.md

BREAKING CHANGE:
- `AbstractControl#statusChanges` now emits an event of `'PENDING'` when you call `AbstractControl#markAsPending`
- Previously it did not emit an event when you called `markAsPending`
- To migrate you would need to ensure that if you are filtering or checking events from `statusChanges` that you account for the new event when calling `markAsPending`

Previously, the emitEvent flag was only checked when emitting on the current control.
Thus, if the control was part of a hierarchy, events were emitted on the parent and the childrens.
This fixes the issue by properly passing the emitEvent flag to both parent and childrens.

With this commit `ngc` is used instead of `tsc-wrapped` for
collecting metadata and tsickle rewriting and `tsc-wrapped`
is removed from the repository.
`@angular/tsc-wrapped@5` is now deprecated and is no longer
used, updated, or maintained as part as of Angular 5.x.x.
`@angular/tsc-wrapped@4` is still maintained and required by
Angular 4.x.x and will be maintained as long as 4.x.x is in
LTS.

This commit introduces a new Input property called
`ngFormOptions` to the `NgForm` directive. You can use it
to set default `updateOn` values for all the form's child
controls. This default will be used unless the child has
already explicitly set its own `updateOn` value in
`ngModelOptions`.
Potential values: `change` | `blur` | `submit`
```html
<form [ngFormOptions]="{updateOn: blur}">
<input name="one" ngModel> <!-- will update on blur-->
</form>
```
For more context, see [#18577](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/18577).
This commit introduces a new option to template-driven forms that
improves performance by delaying form control updates until the
"blur" or "submit" event. To use it, set the `updateOn` property
in `ngModelOptions`.
```html
<input ngModel [ngModelOptions]="{updateOn: blur}">
```
Like in AngularJS, setting `updateOn` to `blur` or `submit` will
delay the update of the value as well as the validation status.
Updating value and validity together keeps the system easy to reason
about, as the two will always be in sync. It's also worth noting
that the value/validation pipeline does still run when the form is
initialized (in order to support initial values).
Upcoming PRs will address:
* Support for setting group-level `updateOn` in template-driven forms
* Option for skipping initial validation run or more global error
display configuration
* Better support of reactive validation strategies
See more context in #18408, #18514, and the [design doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dlJjRXYeuHRygryK0XoFrZNqW86jH4wobftCFyYa1PA/edit#heading=h.r6gn0i8f19wz).
This commit adds support for setting default `updateOn` values
in `FormGroups` and `FormArrays`. If you set `updateOn` to
’blur’` at the group level, all child controls will default to `’blur’`,
unless the child has explicitly specified a different `updateOn` value.
```
const c = new FormGroup({
one: new FormControl()
}, {updateOn: blur});
```
It's worth noting that parent groups will always update their value and
validity immediately upon value/validity updates from children. In other
words, if a group is set to update on blur and its children are individually
set to update on change, the group will still update on change with its
children; its default value will simply not be used.
This change allows ReflectiveInjector to be tree shaken resulting
in not needed Reflect polyfil and smaller bundles.
Code savings for HelloWorld using Closure:
Reflective: bundle.js: 105,864(34,190 gzip)
Static: bundle.js: 154,889(33,555 gzip)
645( 2%)
BREAKING CHANGE:
`platformXXXX()` no longer accepts providers which depend on reflection.
Specifically the method signature when from `Provider[]` to
`StaticProvider[]`.
Example:
Before:
```
[
MyClass,
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA}
]
```
After:
```
[
{provide: MyClass, deps: [Dep1,...]},
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA, deps: [Dep1,...]}
]
```
NOTE: This only applies to platform creation and providers for the JIT
compiler. It does not apply to `@Compotent` or `@NgModule` provides
declarations.
Benchpress note: Previously Benchpress also supported reflective
provides, which now require static providers.
DEPRECATION:
- `ReflectiveInjector` is now deprecated as it will be remove. Use
`Injector.create` as a replacement.
