Before, you'd get an error like:
```
EXCEPTION: Cannot find a differ supporting object ‘[object Object]’ in [users in UsersCmp@2:14]
```
Now, you get:
```
EXCEPTION: Cannot find a differ supporting object ‘[object Object]’ of type 'Object'. Did you mean to bind ngFor to an Array? in [users in UsersCmp@2:14]
```
At the moment ng-link is generating html5mode URLs for `href`s.
Instead it should check whether or not html5mode is enabled and create
the `href`s accordingly. The renaming in the `getLink` function is
aligning it to `RouterLink`'s `_updateLink`.
Closes#7423
Update the Angular 2 transformer to recognize
`package:angular2/platform/browser.dart` as the library which exports
the `bootstrap` function.
Update playground, examples, benchmarks, & tests to import bootstrap from
platform/browser.
Closes#7647
Change the old public api spec to check only the exported top-level symbols. This will make sure that Dart and JS do not diverge. The new public api spec verifies the TS api.
Closes#7447
TL;DR: Modify pubspec.yaml files to use the recommended "targeted"
transformers. The unified "simple" angular2 transformer still works as
always, but we want to encourage use of the targeted transformers
whereever possible.
See [the wiki](https://github.com/angular/angular/wiki/Advanced-Transformer-Configuration)
for details about targeted transformers.

Until Angular 1.5.1 is released, the `$routeConfig` and `$routerCanActivate`
annotations for components must live on the controller constructor.
In Angular 1.5.1, it will automatically copy these annotations across from
the component definition file.
Closes#7319
These tests were registering new components after the application had
been bootstrapped, which is not a valid use case for synchronous routes
in Angular 1.
In particular it was registering the "root" component, which caused the
`$rootRouter` to blow up, when it was instantiated, pointing to a root
component that did not yet exist.
The directiveIntrospector was a bit of a hack to allow the router to
read the `$routeConfig` annocation and `$routerCanActivate` hook from
directives when they were registered.
It turns out that if we put these properties on the component controller's
constructor function (i.e. as static class methods) then we can simply
use the `$injector` to access it as required.
Currently, people put the properties directly on their component definition
objects. In Angular 1.5.1, we will copy these properties onto the controller
constructor to maintain a simple migration path. But going forward it may be
better to encourage people to add the properties directly to the controller
constructor.
