Bug fixes

• The template compiler now outputs the full path to a template file when it reports an error.

• #1694: Composite keyup and keydown event bindings now ignore synthetic events (e.g. those triggered by a mouse click) instead of throwing a TypeError.

• #1669: Fixed a regression which prevented a pipe invoked with more than two arguments from being passed as an argument to a function.

• The compiler emits source locations for errors in Dart files when using an AnalysisDriver.

• Internationalized attribute, property, and input bindings will now properly escape characters in the message that would invalidate the generated string (such as \n, $, and '). This behavior is now consistent with internationalized text and HTML.

• The template compiler no longer crashes on HTML attributes ending in ":"

• When querying for a directive present in multiple embedded views (portions of the template controlled by a structural directive such as *ngIf) with @ViewChildren(), the directives in the resulting list are now in the same order as they appear in the template. Prior to this fix, directives in nested embedded views would occur before those in their parent view.

• The template compiler now properly updates class statements for "literal attributes". Previously, we did not shim these classes correctly. This includes both raw attributes (e.g. class="foo") and host bindings (e.g. @HostBinding('class')).

• The presence of a query (e.g. @ContentChild(TemplateRef)) no longer causes any matching <template> references to become available for dynamic injection (i.e. injector.provideType(TemplateRef)).

• The template compiler now properly updates class bindings on SVG elements. Previously, we did not shim these classes correctly.

• When using runAppAsync, beforeComponentCreated now runs within NgZone which previously surfaced bugs when services created and initialized in this callback did not trigger change detection.

• The style sheet compiler will no longer emit invalid Dart code when a style sheet is placed within a directory whose name is not a valid Dart identifier.

• The template compiler will now report a helpful error message when an @i18n.skip annotation has no corresponding @i18n description, instead of throwing an unhandled error.

Breaking changes

• Removed castCallback2ForDirective from meta.dart. In practice this was not used. We also deprecated castCallback1ForDirective now that the directiveTypes: [ ... ] feature is live.

• Removed deprecated AppViewUtils.resetChangeDetection(). This method was never intended to be used in the public API, and is no longer used by our own infra.

• Using anything but ChangeDetectionStrategy.{Default|OnPush} is considered deprecated, as they were not intended to be publicly accessible states. See the deprecation messages for details.

• ViewContainerRef.get() now returns a ViewRef instead of an EmbeddedViewRef.

  For context, ViewContainerRef supports inserting both host views (created via ComponentFactory) and embedded views (created via TemplateRef). Today, EmbeddedViewRef can reference either kind of view, but in the future it will only reference the latter, for which its methods are actually relevant (for example setting locals has no purpose on host views). This change is in preperation for when a host view reference may not implement EmbeddedViewRef.

Deprecations

• OnChanges is now officially deprecated. Please use AfterChanges instead.

  • If you don't use the changes map at all, just remove the parameter and you're good to go.
  • If you are only tracking the change of one or two fields, consider using a boolean, i.e. valueChanged, which can be set in the value setter and then checked in ngAfterChanges.
  • If you are making extensive use of the changes map, then consider recreating the map manually.
