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.

BREAKING CHANGE: `NgFor` has been removed as it was deprecated since v4. Use `NgForOf` instead. This does not impact the use of`*ngFor` in your templates.
PR Close#18758
The Internationalisation documentation, "Translate text nodes" section, has an incomplete
markdown anchor, and leaks markdown into the page. Fix the anchor by adding the opening bracket.
The markdown processor expects an empty line between an opening tag and the
markdown content. (If there is no empty line, the content is interpreted as
plain HTML.)
Previously, the line between the opening `<td>` and the content contained
whitespace, which caused the content to be interpreted as HTML and not markdown.

* Tell the app that this will have no Table of Contents, since we have no
h2 headings anyway.
* Remove all the `nbsp;` from the code since that doesn't help with layout
* Remove side padding from sidenav-content when screen is narrow
* Restyle the cheatsheet table when the screen is narrow
Possibly overlooked testing documentation mistake fixed:
- `http.get('/data')` probably ought to be paired with `httpMock.expectOne('/data')` instead of `httpMock.expectOne('/data')`.
- /deep/ is deprecated and being removed from Chrome
- >>> is semantically invalid in a stylesheet
- sass will no longer support either in any version of sass
-> use ::ng-deep in emulated shadow DOM mode
Because the deep combinator is deprecated in the CSS spec,
`/deep/`, `>>>` and `::ng-deep` are also deprecated in emulated shadow DOM mode
and will be removed in the future.

Only one h1 is allowed per document.
(Also took the opportunity to remove unnecessary blank lines from these
docs, and a bit of general tidying.)
Closes#16193
* fix(aio): allow code blocks to clear floated images
Previously the negative margin on the code headings were causing
floated images to overlay the start of a code block. Now all code block
successfully clear all floated elements.
* feat(aio): add a `.clear` class for clearing floating images
* fix(aio): tidy up image styles
The css rules for `img.right` and `img.left` allow authors easy
access to floating an image on the left or right, respectively.
The `.image-display` rule which was always found on a figure
has been simplified so that all figures have this styling. It is very
unlikely that a figure will be used outside the content area; and
at this time it seems like `figure` is as good an indicator that we
want this kind of styling as anything.
Now that images are all tagged with width and height values, we cannot
assume to modify these dimensions via CSS as it can cause the image to
lose its correct proportions. Until we find a better solition we must set
`height` to `auto` when the screen width is below 1300px to ensure that
these images maintain their proportions as they get shrunk to fit.
* docs(aio): general tidy up of image HTML in guides
Previously, the guides have a lot of inline image styling and unnecessary
use of the `image-display` css class.
Images over 700px are problematic for guide docs, so those have been given
specific widths and associated heights.
* docs(aio): use correct anchor for "back to the top" link
The `#toc` anchor does not work when the page is
wide enough that the TOC is floating to the side.
* build(aio): add `#top-of-page` to path variants for link checking
Since the `#top-of-page` is outside the rendered docs
the `checkAnchorLinks` processor doesn't find them
as valid targets for links.
Adding them as a `pathVariant` solves this problem
but will still catch links to docs that do not actually exist.
* fix(aio): ensure that headings clear floated images
* fix(aio): do not force live-example embedded image to 100% size
This made them look too big, generally. Leaving them with no size means
that they will look reasonable in large viewports and switch to 100% width
in narrow viewports.
Because:
1. `docs` feels like a "top level" page, similar to `features`, `resources`, `events` etc.
2. This enables the ServiceWorker to pre-fetch/cache the document (similar to what happens with all
other direct children of `content/docs/`), without the need for special-casing it in
`ngsw-manifest.json`.

The result of this is that, going forward, we should ask
authors to include the path from the base href to the thing
