5.0.0-alpha+5

angular

5.0.0-alpha+5

New features

• Enables the new template parser by default. This parser is much stricter than
  the old one, as it will detect things like missing closing tags or quotation
  marks.

  If you need to turn it off temporarily, you need to set the following flag in
  your build.yaml:

targets:
  $default:
    builders:
      angular:
        options:
          use_new_template_parser: false

• Requires source_gen ^0.7.4+2 (was previously ^0.7.0).

• The compiler behind initReflector() has changed implementations and now
  uses fully-scoped import statements instead of trying to figure out the
  original scope (including import prefixes) of your source code. This is not
  intended to be a breaking change.

Breaking changes

• We have removed the transformer completely from angular. It is now a
  requirement that you use build_runner to build angular.
  For more details, see Building Angular.

• QueryList is now formally deprecated. See doc/deprecated_query_list.md.
  This feature is not compatible with future restrictions of Dart 2, because
  QueryList was always created as a QueryList<dynamic>, even though users
  expected it to be a QueryList<T>. The new API is fully compatible.

• SlowCompinentLoader is now formally deprecated. See
  doc/component_loading.md. This feature is not compatible with future
  restrictions of AngularDart, because it requires collecting metadata and
  disabling tree-shaking of classes annotated with @Component. The newer API
  is nearly fully compatible, is faster, and will be supported long-term.

• Explicitly remove support for ngNonBindable in the new template parser.

• Both @Component.host and @Directive.host were deprecated several versions
  back, but not properly, so warnings never appeared in IDEs. They are now
  properly deprecated:
  'Use @HostBinding() on a getter or @HostListener on a method'.

• ElementRef is now deprecated. Inject Element or HtmlElement instead.
  This has unnecessary overhead on-top of the native DOM bindings without any
  benefit.

Bug fixes

• The experimental feature @Injector.generate now supports some const
  expressions in a Provider's useValue: .... There are remaining known
  issues with this implementation, and useFactory should be used instead if
  you encounter issues.

• Fixed a bug where a Injector.get call where Injector is a
  ReflectiveInjector (which is also the injector most commonly used for both
  the entrypoint and virtually every test) would throw
  No provider found for X, where X was a class or factory that was found
  but one or more of X's dependencies were not found. We now correctly throw
  No provider found for Y (where Y was that actual missing dependency).

• OpaqueToken<T> was emitted as OpaqueToken<dynamic> when you used nested
  views (<div *ngIf="..."><comp></comp></div>), and <comp> was a component
  or directive that @Inject-ed a typed token (like OpaqueToken<String>);
  this is now fixed.

• Trying to use @{Content|View}Child{ren} with Element or HtmlElement
  (from dart:html) caused a runtime exception, as ElementRef was passed
  instead. The following now works:

@Component(
  selector: 'uses-element',
  template: '<div #div>1</div>'
)
class UsesElement {
  @ViewChild('div')
  // Could also be HtmlElement.
  Element div;

angular_ast

0.4.3

• Maintenance release, supporting newer package versions.

angular_compiler

0.4.0-alpha+5

Bug fixes

• linkTypeOf correctly resolves bound types (i.e. <T>) in most cases, and
  can fallback to dynamic otherwise.

Breaking changes

• Requires source_gen ^0.7.4+2 (was previously ^0.7.0).

• linkToReference now requires a second parameter, a LibraryReader, and
  treats private types (i.e. prefixed with _) as dynamic as the compiler
  cannot point to them.

• ReflectableEmitter has been completely replaced with a new implementation.

• Removed all references and use of determining a "prefix" of a type. This was
  no longer used once ReflectableEmitter was re-written.

• Removed a number of internal flags that were no longer strictly required.

angular_forms

1.0.1-alpha+5

Maintenance release, to support the latest package:angular alpha.

angular_router

2.0.0-alpha+5

New features

• Added Router.onNavigationStart to notify subscribers when a navigation
  request starts.

• Added the routerProvidersTest module for testing route configurations or
  components with router dependencies.

Breaking changes

• Removed fuzzy arrow from MockLocationStrategy. It relied on Dart 1's
  treatment of dynamic as bottom to mock handling of popstate events without
  actually relying on dart:html. Since Angular must be tested in the browser
  anyways, there's no incentive to avoid this dependency. As a consequence,
  the signature of MockLocationStrategy.onPopState is now unchanged from
  LocationStrategy.onPopState.

angular_test

2.0.0-alpha+3

• Removed support for pub run angular_test. This is no longer strictly
  needed, as it was just a convenience for running both the build system and
  test runner. Similar functionality is supported out of the box by
  build_runner:

$ pub run build_runner test
