BREAKING CHANGE:
It's unlikely that any apps were explicitly referencing `RootRouter`, but if they were they should
prefer to use the `routerBindings` helper or the `ROUTER_BINDINGS` const exported from `angular2/router`
With the coming bootstrapping changes, a single application (and thus Router) can have multiple root components. One of these needs to be identified as the "primary" component from which the Router will load its configuration. This is now done by providing a ROUTER_PRIMARY_COMPONENT binding to the primary component type.
Previosly, recognition ended when a parent captured all the parsed URL segments.
This caused routes that delegated from a parent to a child with an empty segment
to never be recognized.
Closes#4178
Previously, `router.navigate` took a string representing the URL.
Now, it accepts an array that mirrors the link DSL.
Closes#4040
BREAKING CHANGE
The old method has been renamed to `router.navigateByUrl`.
Either change your navigation calls to use the DSL (preferred) or
call `router.navigateByUrl` instead.
Closes#4074
Previously, async routes generated from links would not load the configs of
their resolved components, which led to broken links in the children of the
async instruction's component.
This commit fixes the bookkeeping in the Router to correctly load the configs.
Fixes internal b/23791558
Closes#4146
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
