+
+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* The existing sfx bundle (angular2.sfx.dev.js) is replaced by UMD bundles:
+angular2.umd.js and angular2.umd.dev.js. The new UMD bundles dont have
+polyfills (zone.js, reflect-metadata) pre-appended. Those polyfills
+can be easily loaded by including the angular-polyfills.js bundle.
+
+* The `external-dependencies.js` bundle was removed.
+Use `angular-polyfills.js` instead.
+
+* Number and content of UMD bundles have changed:
+- 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`
+ - common is exported as `ng.common`
+ - platform/browser is exported as `ng.platform.browser`
+ - http is exported as `ng.http`
+ - router is exported as `ng.router`
+ - instrumentation is exported as `ng.instrumentation`
+ - upgrade is exported as `ng.upgrade`
