### BREAKING CHANGES
* Platform pipes can only contain types and arrays of types,
but no bindings any more.
* When using transformers, platform pipes need to be specified explicitly
in the pubspec.yaml via the new config option
`platform_pipes`.
*`Compiler.compileInHost` now returns a `HostViewFactoryRef`
* Component view is not yet created when component constructor is called.
-> use `onInit` lifecycle callback to access the view of a component
*`ViewRef#setLocal` has been moved to new type `EmbeddedViewRef`
*`internalView` is gone, use `EmbeddedViewRef.rootNodes` to access
the root nodes of an embedded view
*`renderer.setElementProperty`, `..setElementStyle`, `..setElementAttribute` now
take a native element instead of an ElementRef
*`Renderer` interface now operates on plain native nodes,
instead of `RenderElementRef`s or `RenderViewRef`s
* Previously, Angular would run in dev prod mode by default, and you could enable the dev mode by calling enableDevMode. Now, Angular runs in the dev mode by default, and you can enable the prod mode by calling enableProdMode.

angular2/platform/worker_app no longer returns a promise of providers,
but instead synchronously returns providers.

Use `angular-polyfills.js` instead.

- we only publish one bundle that contains: core, common, platform/browser, http, router, instrumentation and upgrade
- exported names have changed and now:
- core is exported as `ng.core`

### BREAKING CHANGES
* AMBIENT_DIRECTIVES -> PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES
* AMBIENT_PIPES -> PLATFORM_PIPES
* Previously, the controlsErrors getter of ControlGroup and ControlArray returned the errors of their direct children. This was confusing because the result did not include the errors of nested children (ControlGroup -> ControlGroup -> Control). Making controlsErrors to include such errors would require inventing some custom serialization format, which applications would have to understand.
Since controlsErrors was just a convenience method, and it was causing confusing, we are removing it. If you want to get the errors of the whole form serialized into a single object, you can manually traverse the form and accumulate the errors. This way you have more control over how the errors are serialized.

* **validators:** Allow errors at both the group/array level or their children ([28d88c5](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/28d88c5))
### BREAKING CHANGES
#### ControlGroup.errors and ControlArray.errors have changed
* Before: ControlGroup.errors and ControlArray.errors returned a reduced value of their children controls' errors.
* After: ControlGroup.errors and ControlArray.errors return the errors of the group and array, and ControlGroup.controlsErrors and ControlArray.controlsErrors return the reduce value of their children controls' errors.
#### Errors format has changed from validators
Now errors from a control or an array's children are prefixed with 'controls' while errors from the object itself are left at the root level.
**Example:**
Given a Control group as follows:
```
var group = new ControlGroup({
login: new Control("", required),
password: new Control("", required),
passwordConfirm: new Control("", required)
});
```
*Before:*
```
group.errors
{
login: {required: true},
password: {required: true},
passwordConfirm: {required: true},
}
```
*After:*
```
group.errors
{
controls: {
login: {required: true},
password: {required: true},
passwordConfirm: {required: true},
}
}
```
#### Pipes are now associated right to left
* Before: `1 + 1 | pipe:a | pipe:b` was parsed as `(1 + 1) | pipe:(a | pipe:b)`
* After: `1 + 1 | pipe:a | pipe:b` is parsed as `((1 + 1) | pipe:a) | pipe:b`
#### NgZone Moved to Stream/Observable-based callback API
* deprecates these methods in NgZone: overrideOnTurnStart, overrideOnTurnDone, overrideOnEventDone, overrideOnErrorHandler
* introduces new API in NgZone that may shadow other API used by existing applications.
#### Directives no longer match to variable names
You can no longer use a #foo or a var-foo to apply directive [foo], although it didn't work properly anyway.

### BREAKING CHANGES
* Directives that previously injected Pipes to get iterableDiff or keyvalueDiff, now should inject IterableDiffers and KeyValueDiffers.
* Previously, if an element had a property, Angular would update that property even if there was a directive placed on the same element with the same property. Now, the directive would have to explicitly update the native elmement by either using hostProperties or the renderer.
