`@angular/platform-server` provides the foundation for rendering an
Angular app on the server. In order to achieve that, it uses a
server-side DOM implementation (currently [domino][1]).
For rendering on the server to work as closely as possible to running
the app on the browser, we need to make DOM globals (such as `Element`,
`HTMLElement`, etc.), which are normally provided by the browser,
available as globals on the server as well.
Currently, `@angular/platform-server` achieves this by extending the
`global` object with the DOM implementation provided by `domino`. This
assignment happens in the [setDomTypes()][2] function, which is
[called in a `PLATFORM_INITIALIZER`][3]. While this works in most cases,
there are some scenarios where the DOM globals are needed sooner (i.e.
before initializing the platform). See, for example, #24551 and #39950
for more details on such issues.
This commit provides a way to solve this problem by exposing a
side-effect-ful entry-point (`@angular/platform-server/init`), that
shims the `global` object with DOM globals. People will be able to
import this entry-point in their server-rendered apps before
bootstrapping the app (for example, in their `main.server.ts` file).
(See also [#39950 (comment)][4].)
In a future update, the [`universal` schematics][5] will include such an
import by default in newly generated projects.

This new `base-authoring-package` captures all the settings, which
turns of potentially fatal checks, in one place. This new package is
then used as a base for all the docs-watch related packages, rather
than dotting the settings in a variety of different packages. This also
has the benefit that the standard configuration for doc-gen is fatal
on failed checks by default.

Remove @angular/platform-webworker and @angular/platform-webworker-dynamic

PR Close#38846
Adds two new helper functions that can be used when unit testing Angular services
that depend upon upgraded AngularJS services, or vice versa.
The functions return a module (AngularJS or NgModule) that is configured to wire up
the Angular and AngularJS injectors without the need to actually bootstrap a full
hybrid application.
This makes it simpler and faster to unit test services.

Currently our plan is to skip the publish, docgen, and update steps for this package.
During RC, we'll determine if the breaking change is too difficult for users, in which case we might restore the package for another major.
PR Close#29550
This PR was merged without API docs and general rollout plan.
We can't release this as is in 5.1 without a plan for documentation, cli integration, etc.
This is to tidy up the `author-packagse`, which currently duplicates a
lot of the configuration in the main packages. We need to
DRY this up so that we don't fall foul of a change in one being missed in
the other.
