BREAKING CHANGE: Because of multiple bugs and browser inconsistencies, we have dropped the intl api in favor of data exported from the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR).
Unfortunately we had to change the i18n pipes (date, number, currency, percent) and there are some breaking changes.
1. I18n pipes
* Breaking change:
- By default Angular now only contains locale data for the language `en-US`, if you set the value of `LOCALE_ID` to another locale, you will have to import new locale data for this language because we don't use the intl API anymore.
* Features:
- you don't need to use the intl polyfill for Angular anymore.
- all i18n pipes now have an additional last parameter `locale` which allows you to use a specific locale instead of the one defined in the token `LOCALE_ID` (whose value is `en-US` by default).
- the new locale data extracted from CLDR are now available to developers as well and can be used through an API (which should be especially useful for library authors).
- you can still use the old pipes for now, but their names have been changed and they are no longer included in the `CommonModule`. To use them, you will have to import the `DeprecatedI18NPipesModule` after the `CommonModule` (the order is important):
```ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule, DeprecatedI18NPipesModule } from '@angular/common';
@NgModule({
imports: [
CommonModule,
// import deprecated module after
DeprecatedI18NPipesModule
]
})
export class AppModule { }
```
Dont forget that you will still need to import the intl API polyfill if you want to use those deprecated pipes.
2. Date pipe
* Breaking changes:
- the predefined formats (`short`, `shortTime`, `shortDate`, `medium`, ...) now use the patterns given by CLDR (like it was in AngularJS) instead of the ones from the intl API. You might notice some changes, e.g. `shortDate` will be `8/15/17` instead of `8/15/2017` for `en-US`.
- the narrow version of eras is now `GGGGG` instead of `G`, the format `G` is now similar to `GG` and `GGG`.
- the narrow version of months is now `MMMMM` instead of `L`, the format `L` is now the short standalone version of months.
- the narrow version of the week day is now `EEEEE` instead of `E`, the format `E` is now similar to `EE` and `EEE`.
- the timezone `z` will now fallback to `O` and output `GMT+1` instead of the complete zone name (e.g. `Pacific Standard Time`), this is because the quantity of data required to have all the zone names in all of the existing locales is too big.
- the timezone `Z` will now output the ISO8601 basic format, e.g. `+0100`, you should now use `ZZZZ` to get `GMT+01:00`.
| Field type | Format | Example value | v4 | v5 |
|------------|---------------|-----------------------|----|---------------|
| Eras | Narrow | A for AD | G | GGGGG |
| Months | Narrow | S for September | L | MMMMM |
| Week day | Narrow | M for Monday | E | EEEEE |
| Timezone | Long location | Pacific Standard Time | z | Not available |
| Timezone | Long GMT | GMT+01:00 | Z | ZZZZ |
* Features
- new predefined formats `long`, `full`, `longTime`, `fullTime`.
- the format `yyy` is now supported, e.g. the year `52` will be `052` and the year `2017` will be `2017`.
- standalone months are now supported with the formats `L` to `LLLLL`.
- week of the year is now supported with the formats `w` and `ww`, e.g. weeks `5` and `05`.
- week of the month is now supported with the format `W`, e.g. week `3`.
- fractional seconds are now supported with the format `S` to `SSS`.
- day periods for AM/PM now supports additional formats `aa`, `aaa`, `aaaa` and `aaaaa`. The formats `a` to `aaa` are similar, while `aaaa` is the wide version if available (e.g. `ante meridiem` for `am`), or equivalent to `a` otherwise, and `aaaaa` is the narrow version (e.g. `a` for `am`).
- extra day periods are now supported with the formats `b` to `bbbbb` (and `B` to `BBBBB` for the standalone equivalents), e.g. `morning`, `noon`, `afternoon`, ....
- the short non-localized timezones are now available with the format `O` to `OOOO`. The formats `O` to `OOO` will output `GMT+1` while the format `OOOO` will be `GMT+01:00`.
- the ISO8601 basic time zones are now available with the formats `Z` to `ZZZZZ`. The formats `Z` to `ZZZ` will output `+0100`, while the format `ZZZZ` will be `GMT+01:00` and `ZZZZZ` will be `+01:00`.
* Bug fixes
- the date pipe will now work exactly the same across all browsers, which will fix a lot of bugs for safari and IE.
- eras can now be used on their own without the date, e.g. the format `GG` will be `AD` instead of `8 15, 2017 AD`.
3. Currency pipe
* Breaking change:
- the default value for `symbolDisplay` is now `symbol` instead of `code`. This means that by default you will see `$4.99` for `en-US` instead of `USD4.99` previously.
* Deprecation:
- the second parameter of the currency pipe (`symbolDisplay`) is no longer a boolean, it now takes the values `code`, `symbol` or `symbol-narrow`. A boolean value is still valid for now, but it is deprecated and it will print a warning message in the console.
* Features:
- you can now choose between `code`, `symbol` or `symbol-narrow` which gives you access to more options for some currencies (e.g. the canadian dollar with the code `CAD` has the symbol `CA$` and the symbol-narrow `$`).
4. Percent pipe
* Breaking change
- if you don't specify the number of digits to round to, the local format will be used (and it usually rounds numbers to 0 digits, instead of not rounding previously), e.g. `{{ 3.141592 | percent }}` will output `314%` for the locale `en-US` instead of `314.1592%` previously.

This commit fixes a regression where `ngModel` no longer syncs
letter by letter on Android devices, and instead syncs at the
end of every word. This broke when we introduced buffering of
IME events so IMEs like Pinyin keyboards or Katakana keyboards
wouldn't display composition strings. Unfortunately, iOS devices
and Android devices have opposite event behavior. Whereas iOS
devices fire composition events for IME keyboards only, Android
fires composition events for Latin-language keyboards. For
this reason, languages like English don't work as expected on
Android if we always buffer. So to support both platforms,
composition string buffering will only be turned on by default
for non-Android devices.
However, we have also added a `COMPOSITION_BUFFER_MODE` token
to make this configurable by the application. In some cases, apps
might might still want to receive intermediate values. For example,
some inputs begin searching based on Latin letters before a
character selection is made.
As a provider, this is fairly flexible. If you want to turn
composition buffering off, simply provide the token at the top
level:
```ts
providers: [
{provide: COMPOSITION_BUFFER_MODE, useValue: false}
]
```
Or, if you want to change the mode based on locale or platform,
you can use a factory:
```ts
import {shouldUseBuffering} from 'my/lib';
....
providers: [
{provide: COMPOSITION_BUFFER_MODE, useFactory: shouldUseBuffering}
]
```
Closes#15079.
PR Close#15256
Previous to 2.x there were some source maps distrubted, but they didn't go
all the way back to the TypeScript sources and they weren't available for
all JavaScript distrubted to NPM.
With this change source maps will be available for FESM distributions as
well as UMD and will go all the way back to TypeScript sources.
Fixes#15184
Secondary entry points (testing, static, etc) are rolled up into a
single ESM/ES2015 file, then downleveled to ESM/ES2015. This downleveling
was not working and was producing ESM/ES2015. Also, the @angular/core
package's .babelrc file was missing reference to Rx Observable which
broke the UMD bundle.
Fixes#14730
TypeScript compiler will now build to ES2015 code and modules. Babili is used to minify ES2015
code, providing an initial optimization that we couldn't previously get just from Uglify. Uses
Babel to convert ES2015 to UMD/ES5 code, and Uglify to minimize the output.
This change installs HttpModule with ServerModule, and overrides bindings to
service Http requests made from the server with the 'xhr2' NPM package.
Outgoing requests are wrapped in a Zone macro-task, so they will be tracked
within the Angular zone and cause the isStable API to show 'false' until they
return. This is essential for Universal support of server-side HTTP.
Note that the duplication in tsconfig.json files will be fixed in a followup CL now that we have tsconfig inheritance
BREAKING CHANGE: Angular 4 will support only TypeScript 2.1, so we no longer provide backwards compatibility to TS 1.8.
Add upgrade-static.umd.js bundles
This allows depending on it without getting a transitive dependency on compiler.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Four newly added APIs in 2.2.0-beta:
downgradeComponent, downgradeInjectable, UpgradeComponent, and UpgradeModule
are no longer exported by @angular/upgrade.
Import these from @angular/upgrade/static instead.
