### BREAKING CHANGES

* `OnPushObserve` was an experimental
feature for Dart and had
conceptual performance problems,
as setting up observables is slow.
Use `OnPush` instead.

* In Dart we used to support injecting types with generics. As this feature is hard to implement with the upcoming codegen we are dropping it.
Merge cl/115454020 in G3 with this change.

* The `$router` injectable service has been renamed to `$rootRouter`

* The recently added binding of the current router to the current component
has been renamed from `router` to `$router`.
So now the recommended set up for your bindings in your routed component
is:
```js
{
  ...
  bindings: {
    $router: '<'
  }
}
```

### Features

* **angular1_router:** allow component to bind to router ([0f22dce](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/0f22dce))
* **typings:** install es6-shim typings to a location users can reference. ([f1f5b45](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/f1f5b45))

### BREAKING CHANGES

Transitive typings are no longer included in the distribution.

If you use `--target=es5`, you will need to add a line somewhere in your
application (for example, at the top of the `.ts` file where you call `bootstrap`):
```
///<reference path="node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>
```
(Note that if your file is not in the same directory as `node_modules`, you'll
need to add one or more `../` to the start of that path.)

If you have unit tests, you need to install typings in your project using
http://github.com/typings/typings
And install typings such as `jasmine`, `angular-protractor`, or `selenium-webdriver`
to satisfy the type-checker.

If you rely on es6 APIs other than Promises and Collections, you will need to
install the es6-shim typing instead of using the <reference> tag above.
Angular previously exposed typings for the entire ES6 API.

* **dart/transform:** Only process deferred libs when necessary ([f56df65](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/f56df65)), closes [#6745](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/6745)

### BREAKING CHANGES

This is a breaking change for unit tests. The API for the DebugElement
has changed. Now, there is a DebugElement or DebugNode for every node
in the DOM, not only nodes with an ElementRef. `componentViewChildren` is
removed, and `childNodes` is a list of ElementNodes corresponding to every
child in the DOM. `query` no longer takes a scope parameter, since
the entire rendered DOM is included in the `childNodes`.

Before:

```
componentFixture.debugElement.componentViewChildren[0];
```

After
```
// Depending on the DOM structure of your component, the
// index may have changed or the first component child
// may be a sub-child.
componentFixture.debugElement.children[0];
```

Before:

```
debugElement.query(By.css('div'), Scope.all());
```

After:

```
debugElement.query(By.css('div'));
```

Before:

```
componentFixture.debugElement.elementRef;
```

After:

```
componentFixture.elementRef;
```

### BREAKING CHANGES

* System.register testing bundle was renamed:
`testing.js` -> `testing.dev.js`

* UMD bundles were renamed:
  * `angular2.umd.js` -> `angular2-all.umd.js`
  * `angular2-testing.umd.js` -> `angular2-all-testing.umd.js`

* RxJS used to be bundled with Angular 2 code and this is not the case
any more. RxJS needs to be loaded explicitly.

* Previously `angular2.js`, `angular2.min.js` and `angular2.dev.js` bundles
would have zone.js and reflect-metadata pre-appended. New bundles don't
contain zone.js nor reflect-metadata - those external dependencies can
be easily loaded into a browser using `angular2-polyfills.js`

* `ngUpgrade` related symbols are no longer part of the `angular2.js`
bundle. `ngUpgrade` has a dedicated `upgrade.js` bundle now.

* **facade:** do not reexport Observable from angular2/core ([43f42d9](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/43f42d9))
* **Headers:** implement `toJSON` ([0cb32c2](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/0cb32c2))
* **renderer:** use a comment instead of an element when stamping out template>` elements ([194dc7d](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/194dc7d)), closes [#4805](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/4805)


### BREAKING CHANGES

* `Observable` are no more re-exported from `angular2/core`

    Before
    ```
    import {Observable} from 'angular2/core'
    ```
    After
    ```
    import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Observable';
    ```

* The setupWebWorker function exported from
angular2/platform/worker_app  no longer returns a promise of providers,
but instead synchronously returns providers.
Related to #5815

* `angular2/angular2` was removed. Use the correct import from one of the barrels. E.g. `angular2/core`, `angular2/platform/browser`,  `angular2/common`, …
Note: This only applies to JavaScript, Dart is not changed.

* The following symbols are not exported from angular2/angular2 any more:
`UrlResolver`, `AppRootUrl`, `getUrlScheme`, `DEFAULT_PACKAGE_URL_PROVIDER`.
Use imports from `angular2/compiler` instead.

### Features

* **core:** case-sensitive camelCase templates (kebab-case removal) ([da9b46a](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/da9b46a))


### BREAKING CHANGES

* Angular templates are now case-sensitive and use camelCase instead of kebab-case (dash-case).

  Before:

  ```
      <p *ng-if="cond">
      <my-cmp [my-prop]="exp">
      <my-cmp (my-event)="action()">
      <my-cmp [(my-prop)]="prop">
      <input #my-input>
      <template ng-for #my-item [ng-for-of]=items #my-index="index">
  ```

  After:

  ```
      <p *ngIf="cond">
      <my-cmp [myProp]="exp">
      <my-cmp (myEvent)="action()">
      <my-cmp [(myProp)]="prop">
      <input #myInput>`,
      <template ngFor "#myItem" [ngForOf]=items #myIndex="index">
  ```

### 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`

* Form directives are exportedAs 'ngForm' (was 'form')

    Before:
      ```html
        <form #f="form">
      ```

    After:
      ```html
        <form #f="ngForm">
      ```
* rxjs, reflect-metadata, zone.js and es6-shims now must be specified as
  explicit dependencies of each angular app that uses npm for package management.

  To migrate, please add the following into the "dependencies" section of your package.json:

  ```
  "dependencies": {
      ...

      "es6-promise": "^3.0.2",
      "es6-shim": "^0.33.3",
      "reflect-metadata": "0.1.2",
      "rxjs": "5.0.0-alpha.11",
      "zone.js": "0.5.8"

      ...
  }
  ```

### BREAKING CHANGES

* `<whatever />` used to be expanded to `<whatever></whatever>`.
The parser now follows the HTML5 spec more closely.
Only void and foreign elements can be self closed.

* End tags used to be tolerated for void elements with no content.
They are no more allowed so that we more closely follow the HTML5 spec.

* Before
import * as ng from 'angular2';
After
import * as core from 'angular2/core';

* Http's MockBackend is no longer exported from the `angular2/http` module. It's now available at `angular2/http/testing`

  ```
  import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Observable';
  import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
  import 'rxjs/add/observable/interval';

  Observable.interval(1000).subscribe(...);

  http.get('foos.json').map(res => res.json()).subscribe(...);

### BREAKING CHANGES

* Previously http would only error on network errors to match the fetch
specification. Now status codes less than 200 and greater than 299 will
cause Http's Observable to error.

* A few private helpers (e.g., platformCommon or applicationCommon) were removed or replaced with other helpers. Look at PLATFORM_COMMON_PROVIDERS, APPLICATION_COMMON_PROVIDERS, BROWSER_PROVIDERS, BROWSER_APP_PROVIDERS to see if they export the providers you need.

* Previously, components that would implement lifecycle interfaces would include methods
like "onChanges" or "afterViewInit." Given that components were at risk of using such
names without realizing that Angular would call the methods at different points of
the component lifecycle. This change adds an "ng" prefix to all lifecycle hook methods,
far reducing the risk of an accidental name collision.

  To fix, just rename these methods:
  * onInit
  * onDestroy
  * doCheck
  * onChanges
  * afterContentInit
  * afterContentChecked
  * afterViewInit
  * afterViewChecked
  * _Router Hooks_
  * onActivate
  * onReuse
  * onDeactivate
  * canReuse
  * canDeactivate

  To:
  * ngOnInit,
  * ngOnDestroy,
  * ngDoCheck,
  * ngOnChanges,
  * ngAfterContentInit,
  * ngAfterContentChecked,
  * ngAfterViewInit,
  * ngAfterViewChecked
  * _Router Hooks_
  * routerOnActivate
  * routerOnReuse
  * routerOnDeactivate
  * routerCanReuse
  * routerCanDeactivate

  The names of lifecycle interfaces and enums have not changed, though interfaces
  have been updated to reflect the new method names.

### 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.
This commit is fixing breakage caused by the switch to pre-compiler (exact SHA unknown).

#### Actions no longer support if statements

  a `Duplicate identifier` error if the same type definition appears twice.

### API DEPRECATION

- "DI Binding" terminology has changed to "DI Providers" to avoid conflicts/confusion with data-binding. All commonly used apis that use "bind" or "binding" in the name still work but are deprecated and will be removed in future alpha releases. Please update your code:
  - `bind` -> `provide`
  - `@Component(bindings: ...)` -> `@Component(providers: ...)`
  - `@Component(viewBindings: ...)` -> `@Component(viewProviders: ...)`
  - `HTTP_BINDINGS` -> `HTTP_PROVIDERS`
  - `JSONP_BINDINGS` -> `JSONP_PROVIDERS`
  - `ROUTER_BINDINGS` -> `ROUTER_PROVIDERS`
  - `FORM_BINDINGS` -> `FORM_PROVIDERS`
  - `ELEMENT_PROBE_BINDINGS` -> `ELEMENT_PROBE_PROVIDERS`
  - `NoBindingError` -> `NoProviderError`
  - `AbstractBindingError` -> `AbstractProviderError`
  - `InvalidBindingError` -> `InvalidProviderError`
  - `beforeEachBindings` -> `beforeEachProviders`

### BREAKING CHANGES

#### Query

[make QueryList notify on changes via an observable](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/3aa2047)

* Before: query.onChange(() => ...);
* After: query.changes.subscribe((iterable) => {});

#### Router

[introduce new navigate method](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/d9036c6)

Previously, `router.navigate` took a string representing the URL.
Now, it accepts an array that mirrors the link DSL.
The old `navigate` method has been renamed to `router.navigateByUrl`.
Either change your navigation calls to use the DSL (preferred) or
call `router.navigateByUrl` instead.

* Before:
router.navigate

* After:
router.navigateUrl


#### Pipes

[add support for pure pipes](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/a8bdb69)
By default, pipes are pure. This means that an instance of a pipe will be reused and the pipe will be called only when its arguments change.

Before:

@Pipe({name: 'date'}) class DatePipe {} defines an impure pipe.

After:

@Pipe({name: 'date'}) class DatePipe {} defines a pure pipe.
@Pipe({name: 'date', pure: false}) class DatePipe {} defines an impure pipe.

* Before:
@Pipe({name: 'date'}) class DatePipe {} defines an impure pipe.
* After:
@Pipe({name: 'date'}) class DatePipe {} defines a pure pipe.
@Pipe({name: 'date', pure: false}) class DatePipe {} defines an impure pipe.

#### ViewQuery

[Implement query update mechanism based on views.](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/5ebeaf7c9bdab8de6d11c7b4c4d0954553196903)

* ViewQuery no longer supports the descendants flag. It queries the whole
component view by default.

Instead of working with finer grained element injectors, queries now
iterate through the views as static units of modification of the
application structure. Views already contain element injectors in the
correct depth-first preorder.

This allows us to remove children linked lists on element injectors and a
lot of book keeping that is already present at the view level.

Queries are recalculated using the afterContentChecked and
afterViewChecked hooks, only during init and after a view container has
changed.

* Before:
@ViewQuery(SomeDirective, {descendants: true})) someDirective
* After:
@ViewQuery(SomeDirective) someDirective

#### DI

[add support for multi bindings](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/7736964a37d17cf0f1e5381c9a95a33ee863f02f)
Previously a content binding of a component was visible to the directives in its view with the host constraint.
This is not the case any more. To access that binding, remove the constraint.

#### Core
[remove the (^ syntax and make all DOM events bubbling)](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/60ce8846710338228bc7db3d3c808c166e15e931)

* Before
```html
<div (^click)="onEventHandler()">
  <button></button>
</div>
```
* After
```html
<div (click)="onEventHandler()">
  <button></button>
</div>
```

#### Properties/Events (Inputs/Outputs)

[Rename Property into Input and Event into Output](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/adbfd29fd761135d51985564edcb4db7f8b6a26a)

* Before:
@Directive({properties: ['one'], events: ['two']})
* After:
@Directive({inputs: ['one'], outputs: ['two']})

* Before:
@Component({properties: ['one'], events: ['two']})
* After:
@Componet({inputs: ['one'], outputs: ['two']})

* Before:
class A {@Property() one; @Event() two;}
* After:
class A {@Input() one; @Output() two;}

#### Compiler

With a [new compiler](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/76247b70973e3266e504e05381fbd7d85d4de5c6) `NgNonBindable`
 is not a directive but rather a special attribute (`ng-non-bindable`) recognized by the compiler. This means that you
can't import / use the `NgNonBindable` as a directive. You should remove all the imports for the the `NgNonBindable`
directive and all the references to it in the `directives` section of the `@View` decorator.

### BREAKING CHANGES

* rename all constants to UPPER_CASE names

  - `appComponentTypeToken` => `APP_COMPONENT`
  - `coreDirectives` => `CORE_DIRECTIVES`
  - `formDirectives` => `FORM_DIRECTIVES`
  - `formInjectables` => `FORM_BINDINGS`
  - `httpInjectables` => `HTTP_BINDINGS`
  - `jsonpInjectables` => `JSONP_BINDINGS`
  - `PROTO_CHANGE_DETECTOR_KEY` => `PROTO_CHANGE_DETECTOR`
  - `appComponentRefPromiseToken` => `APP_COMPONENT_REF_PROMISE`
  - `appComponentTypeToken` => `APP_COMPONENT`
  - `undefinedValue` => `UNDEFINED`
  - `formDirectives` => `FORM_DIRECTIVES`
  - `DOCUMENT_TOKEN` => `DOCUMENT`
  - `APP_ID_TOKEN` => `APP_ID`
  - `MAX_IN_MEMORY_ELEMENTS_PER_TEMPLATE_TOKEN` => `MAX_IN_MEMORY_ELEMENTS_PER_TEMPLATE`
  - `appBaseHrefToken` => `APP_BASE_HREF`

* renamed DI visibility flags

  - `PRIVATE` => `Visibility.Private`
  - `PUBLIC` => `Visibility.Public`
  - `PUBLIC_AND_PRIVATE` => `Visibility.PublicAndPrivate`

* renamed all "annotation" references to "metadata"

  - *Annotations => *Metadata
  - renderer.DirectiveMetadata => renderer.RendererDirectiveMetadata
  - renderer.ElementBinder => renderer.RendererElementBinder
  - impl.Directive => impl.DirectiveMetadata
  - impl.Component => impl.ComponentMetadata
  - impl.View => impl.ViewMetadata


* `IS_DARTIUM` constant is no longer exported/supported

* The HTTP package is no longer supported in Dart (use standard library apis instead)

* Remove IRequestOptions / IResponseOptions / IQueryList interfaces

* Pipe factories have been removed and Pipe names to pipe implementations are 1-to-1  instead of 1-to-*

  Before:
  <code><pre>
   class DateFormatter {
       transform(date, args){}
   }

   class DateFormatterFactory {
     supporst(obj) { return true; }
     create(cdRef) { return new DateFormatter(); }
   }
   new Pipes({date: [new DateFormatterFactory()]})
  </pre></code>

  After:
  <code><pre>
  class DateFormatter {
    transform(date, args){}
  }
  new Pipes({date: DateFormatter})
  </pre></code>


* Previously Angular called onDestroy on all pipes. Now Angular calls onDestroy only on pipes that have the onDestroy method.

* Instead of configuring pipes via a Pipes object, now you can configure them by providing the pipes property to the View decorator.

  <code><pre>
    @Pipe({
      name: 'double'
    })
    class DoublePipe {
      transform(value, args) { return value * 2; }
    }
    @View({
      template: '{{ 10 | double}}'
      pipes: [DoublePipe]
    })
    class CustomComponent {}
  </pre></code>


* The router was previously exported as ng.router in the
    angular.sfx.dev.js bundle, but now it is exported as ngRouter.

* The selector for the CSSClass directive was changed
from [class] to [ng-class]. The directive itself was
renamed from CSSClass to NgClass

### 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.

* View renderer used to take normalized CSS class names (ex. fooBar for foo-bar).
With this change a rendered implementation gets a calss name as specified in a
template, without any transformations / normalization. This change only affects
custom view renderers that should be updated accordingly.

### Reverts

* style(ngFor): add whitespace to `Directive` annotation ([74b311a](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/74b311a))


### BREAKING CHANGES

* View renderer used to take normalized CSS class names (ex. fooBar for foo-bar).
With this change a rendered implementation gets a calss name as specified in a
template, without any transformations / normalization. This change only affects
custom view renderers that should be updated accordingly.

* S:
Dart applications and TypeScript applications meant to transpile to Dart must now
import `package:angular2/bootstrap.dart` instead of `package:angular2/angular2.dart`
in their bootstrap code. `package:angular2/angular2.dart` no longer export the
bootstrap function. The transformer rewrites imports of `bootstrap.dart` and calls
to `bootstrap` to `bootstrap_static.dart` and `bootstrapStatic` respectively.

### Performance Improvements

* **dom:** Only send values for existing properties to js interior ([153660f](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/153660f)), closes [#3149](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/3149)


### BREAKING CHANGES

*     Pipes.append has been renamed into Pipes.extend.
    Pipes.extend prepends pipe factories instead of appending them.

* S:
- shadow dom emulation no longer
  supports the `<content>` tag. Use the new `<ng-content>` instead
  (works with all shadow dom strategies).
- removed `DomRenderer.setViewRootNodes` and `AppViewManager.getComponentView`
  -> use `DomRenderer.getNativeElementSync(elementRef)` and change shadow dom directly
- the `Renderer` interface has changed:
  * `createView` now also has to support sub views
  * the notion of a container has been removed. Instead, the renderer has
    to implement methods to attach views next to elements or other views.
  * a RenderView now contains multiple RenderFragments. Fragments
    are used to move DOM nodes around.
Internal changes / design changes:
- Introduce notion of view fragments on render side
- DomProtoViews and DomViews on render side are merged,
  AppProtoViews are not merged, AppViews are partially merged
  (they share arrays with the other merged AppViews but we keep
  individual AppView instances for now).
- DomProtoViews always have a `<template>` element as root
  * needed for storing subviews
  * we have less chunks of DOM to clone now
- remove fake ElementBinder / Bound element for root text bindings
  and model them explicitly. This removes a lot of special cases we had!
- AppView shares data with nested component views
- some methods in AppViewManager (create, hydrate, dehydrate) are iterative now
  * now possible as we have all child AppViews / ElementRefs already in an array!

### BREAKING CHANGES

* S:
- host actions don't take an expression as value any more but only a method name,
  and assumes to get an array via the EventEmitter with the method arguments.
- Renderer.setElementProperty does not take `style.`/... prefixes any more.
  Use the new methods `Renderer.setElementAttribute`, ... instead
Part of #2476

* compiler will throw on binding to non-existing properties.
Till now it was possible to have a binding to a non-existing property,
ex.: `<div [foo]="exp">`. From now on this is compilation error - any
property binding needs to have at least one associated property:
eaither on an HTML element or on any directive associated with a
given element (directives' properites need to be declared using the
`properties` field in the `@Directive` / `@Component` annotation).

* - `Compiler.compile` has been removed, the only way to compile
  components dynamically is via `Compiler.compileInHost`
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoExistingLocation` has changed:
  * renamed into `loadIntoLocation`
  * will always create the host element as well
  * requires an element with a variable inside of the host component view
    next to which it will load new component.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToExistingLocation` was renamed into
  `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation`
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoNewLocation` is removed
  * use `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` instead
    and then move the view nodes
    manually around via `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
- `AppViewManager.{create,destroy}Free{Host,Embedded}View` was removed
  * use `AppViewManager.createViewInContainer` and then move the view nodes
    manually around via `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
- `Renderer.detachFreeView` was removed. Use `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
  to get the root nodes of a view and detach them manually.

* Before
    @Directive({
      hostListeners: {'event': 'statement'},
      hostProperties: {'expression': 'hostProp'},
      hostAttributes: {'attr': 'value'},
      hostActions: {'action': 'statement'}
    })
After
    @Directive({
      host: {
        '(event)': 'statement',
        '[hostProp]': 'expression'  // k & v swapped
        'attr': 'value',
