11.0.0-rc.0 (2020-10-21)

Bug Fixes

  • common: update locales using new CLDR data (#39343) (3738233)
  • compiler: promote constants in templates to Trusted Types (#39211) (6e18d2d)
  • core: guard reading of global ngDevMode for undefined. (#36055) (f541e5f)
  • language-service: [Ivy] create compiler only when program changes (#39231) (8f1317f)
  • ngcc: ensure that "inline exports" can be interpreted correctly (#39267) (822b838)
  • platform-server: Resolve absolute URL from baseUrl (#39334) (b4e8399)
  • router: incorrect signature for createUrlTree (#39347) (161b278)

Code Refactoring

BREAKING CHANGES

  • platform-server: If you use useAbsoluteUrl to setup platform-server, you now need to also specify baseUrl. We are intentionally making this a breaking change in a minor release, because if useAbsoluteUrl is set to true then the behavior of the application could be unpredictable, resulting in issues that are hard to discover but could be affecting production environments.
  • compiler: TypeScript 3.9 is no longer supported, please upgrade to TypeScript 4.0.

10.2.0 (2020-10-21)

Bug Fixes

  • core: guard reading of global ngDevMode for undefined. (#36055) (02405f1)
  • platform-server: Resolve absolute URL from baseUrl (#39334) (71fb99f)

BREAKING CHANGES

  • language-service: Add module name to directive quick info (#39121) (4604fe9)
  • router: add new initialNavigation options to replace legacy (#37480) (c4becca)

BREAKING CHANGES

  • router: * The initialNavigation property for the options in RouterModule.forRoot no longer supports legacy_disabled, legacy_enabled, true, or false as valid values. legacy_enabled (the old default) is instead enabledNonBlocking
  • enabled is deprecated as a valid value for the RouterModule.forRoot initialNavigation option. enabledBlocking has been introduced to replace it
  • router: preserveQueryParams has been removed, use queryParamsHandling="preserve" instead
  • router: If you were accessing the RouterLink values of queryParams, fragment or queryParamsHandling you might need to relax the typing to also accept undefined and null. (#39151)
  • core: * ViewEncapsulation.Native has been removed. Use ViewEncapsulation.ShadowDom instead. Existing usages will be updated automatically by ng update.
  • compiler-cli: Expressions within ICUs are now type-checked again, fixing a regression in Ivy. This may cause compilation failures if errors are found in expressions that appear within an ICU. Please correct these expressions to resolve the type-check errors.

10.1.6 (2020-10-14)

Bug Fixes

build

  • upgrade angular build, integration/bazel and @angular/bazel package to rule_nodejs 2.2.0 (#39182) (7628c36)

Performance Improvements

  • ngcc: do not rescan program source files when referenced from multiple root files (#39254) (5221df8), closes #39240

11.0.0-next.5 (2020-10-07)

Bug Fixes

  • common: add boolean to valid json for testing (#37893) (3c474ec), closes #20690
  • core: use single quotes for relative link resolution migration to align with style guide (#39070) (8894706)
  • forms: improve types of directive constructor arguments (#38944) (246de9a)
  • forms: include null in .parent of abstract control (#32671) (f4f1bcc), closes #16999
  • language-service: [Ivy] hybrid visitor should not locate let keyword (#39061) (70e13dc)
  • router: properly assign ExtraOptions to Router in RouterTestingModule (#39096) (d8c0534), closes #23347

Features

  • compiler-cli: support getting resource dependencies for a source file (#38048) (5dbf357)
  • forms: add migration for AbstractControl.parent accesses (#39009) (aeec223), closes #32671
  • language-service: Add getDefinitionAndBoundSpan (go to definition) (#39101) (3975dd9)
  • language-service: add quick info for inline templates in ivy (#39060) (904adb7)

BREAKING CHANGES

  • forms: Directives in the @angular/forms package used to have any[] as a type of validators and asyncValidators arguments in constructors. Now these arguments are properly typed, so if your code relies on directive constructor types it may require some updates to improve type safety.
  • forms: Type of AbstractFormControl.parent now includes null

null is now included in the types of .parent. If you don't already have a check for this case, the TypeScript compiler might compain. A v11 migration exists which adds the not-null assertion operator where necessary.

In an unlikely case your code was testing the parnet against undefined with sitrct equality, you'll need to change this to === null instead, since the parent is not explicily initialized with null instead of being left undefined.

10.1.5 (2020-10-07)

Bug Fixes

  • router: update getRouteGuards to check if the context outlet is activated (#39049) (771f731), closes #39030
  • compiler: Recover on malformed keyed reads and keyed writes (#39004) (f50313f), closes #38596

  • compiler-cli: perform DOM schema checks even in basic mode in g3 (#38943) (40975e0)
  • language-service: hybrid visitor returns parent node of BoundAttribute (#38995) (323be39)
  • packaging: remove polyfills needed to run tests on IE9 and IE 10 (#38931) (4ca1c73)

  • router: make relativeLinkResolution corrected by default (#25609) (837889f), closes #22394

Code Refactoring

  • router: Adjust type of parameter in navigateByUrl and createUrlTree to be more accurate (#38227) (e4f4d18), closes #18798

Features

  • common: stricter types for DatePipe (#37447) (daf8b7f)
  • common: stricter types for number pipes (#37447) (7b2aac9)
  • compiler: Add keySpan to Variable Node (#38965) (239968d)
  • router: Add relativeLinkResolution migration to update default value (#38698) (15ea811)

BREAKING CHANGES

  • packaging: In v10, IE 9, 10, and IE mobile support was deprecated. In v11, Angular framework removes IE 9, 10, and IE mobile support completely. Supporting outdated browsers like these increases bundle size, code complexity, and test load, and also requires time and effort that could be spent on improvements to the framework. For example, fixing issues can be more difficult, as a straightforward fix for modern browsers could break old ones that have quirks due to not receiving updates from vendors.
  • platform-webworker: @angular/platform-webworker and @angular/platform-webworker-dynamic have been removed as they were deprecated in v8
  • common: The slice pipe now returns null for the undefined input value, which is consistent with the behavior of most pipes. If you rely on undefined being the result in that case, you now need to check for it explicitly.
  • common: The typing of the keyvalue pipe has been fixed to report that for input objects that have number keys, the result will contain the string representation of the keys. This was already the case and the code has simply been updated to reflect this. Please update the consumers of the pipe output if they were relying on the incorrect types. Note that this does not affect use cases where the input values are Maps, so if you need to preserve numbers, this is an effective way.
  • common: The signatures of the number pipes now explicitly state which types are accepted. This should only cause issues in corner cases, as any other values would result in runtime exceptions.
  • common: The signature of the date pipe now explicitly states which types are accepted. This should only cause issues in corner cases, as any other values would result in runtime exceptions.
  • common: The async pipe no longer claims to return undefined for an input that was typed as undefined. Note that the code actually returned null on undefined inputs. In the unlikely case you were relying on this, please fix the typing of the consumers of the pipe output.
  • common: The case conversion pipes no longer let falsy values through. They now map both null and undefined to null and raise an exception on invalid input (0, false, NaN) just like most "common pipes". If your code required falsy values to pass through, you need to handle them explicitly.
  • router: While the new parameter types allow a variable of type NavigationExtras to be passed in, they will not allow object literals, as they may only specify known properties. They will also not accept types that do not have properties in common with the ones in the Pick. To fix this error, only specify properties from the NavigationExtras which are actually used in the respective function calls or use a type assertion on the object or variable: as NavigationExtras.
  • router: This commit changes the default value of relativeLinkResolution from 'legacy' to 'default'. If your application previously used the default by not specifying a value in the ExtraOptions and uses relative links when navigating from children of empty path routes, you will need to update your RouterModule to specifically specify 'legacy' for relativeLinkResolution. See https://angular.io/api/router/ExtraOptions#relativeLinkResolution for more details.

10.1.4 (2020-09-30)

Bug Fixes

11.0.0-next.3 (2020-09-23)

Bug Fixes

  • common: add params and reportProgress options to HttpClient.put() overload (#37873) (dd8d8c8), closes #23600
  • compiler-cli: generate let statements in ES2015+ mode (#38775) (123bff7)
  • core: ensure TestBed is not instantiated before override provider (#38717) (c8f056b)
  • forms: type NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR injection token as array (#29723) (2b1b718), closes #29351

Features

  • common: Add ISO week-numbering year formats support to formatDate (#38828) (984ed39)
  • compiler: Parse and recover on incomplete opening HTML tags (#38681) (6ae3b68), closes #38596
  • router: add migration to update calls to navigateByUrl and createUrlTree with invalid parameters (#38825) (7849fdd), closes #38227
  • service-worker: add the option to prefer network for navigation requests (#38565) (a206852), closes #38194

BREAKING CHANGES

  • core: If you call TestBed.overrideProvider after TestBed initialization, provider overrides are not applied. This behavior is consistent with other override methods (such as TestBed.overrideDirective, etc) but they throw an error to indicate that, when the check was missing in the TestBed.overrideProvider function. Now calling TestBed.overrideProvider after TestBed initialization also triggers an error, thus there is a chance that some tests (where TestBed.overrideProvider is called after TestBed initialization) will start to fail and require updates to move TestBed.overrideProvider calls before TestBed initialization is completed.

10.1.3 (2020-09-23)

Bug Fixes

  • http: Fix error message when we call jsonp without importing HttpClientJsonpModule (#38756) (3902ec0)
  • ngcc: fix compilation of ChangeDetectorRef in pipe constructors (#38892) (093c3a1), closes #38666 #38883

Reverts

  • feat(router): better warning message when a router outlet has not been instantiated (#38920) (04d0aa6)

11.0.0-next.2 (2020-09-16)

Bug Fixes

Features

  • compiler-cli: TemplateTypeChecker operation to get Symbol from a template node (#38618) (c4556db)
  • compiler-cli: Add ability to get Symbol of Templates and Elements in component template (#38618) (cf2e8b9)
  • compiler-cli: Add ability to get Symbol of AST expression in component template (#38618) (f56ece4)
  • compiler-cli: add ability to get symbol of reference or variable (#38618) (19598b4)
  • compiler-cli: define interfaces to be used for TemplateTypeChecker (#38618) (9e77bd3)

Performance Improvements

  • compiler-cli: only emit directive/pipe references that are used (#38539) (077f516)
  • compiler-cli: optimize computation of type-check scope information (#38539) (297c060)
  • router: use ngDevMode to tree-shake error messages in router (#38674) (db21c4f)

BREAKING CHANGES

  • router: This change corrects the argument order when calling RouteReuseStrategy#shouldReuseRoute. Previously, when evaluating child routes, they would be called with the future and current arguments would be swapped. If your RouteReuseStrategy relies specifically on only the future or current snapshot state, you may need to update the shouldReuseRoute implementation's use of "future" and "current" ActivateRouteSnapshots.
  • common: The locale data API has been marked as returning readonly arrays, rather than mutable arrays, since these arrays are shared across calls to the API. If you were mutating them (e.g. calling sort(), push(), splice(), etc) then your code will not longer compile. If you need to mutate the array, you should now take a copy (e.g. by calling slice()) and mutate the copy.
  • common: When passing a date-time formatted string to the DatePipe in a format that contains fractions of a millisecond, the milliseconds will now always be rounded down rather than to the nearest millisecond.

Most applications will not be affected by this change. If this is not the desired behaviour then consider pre-processing the string to round the millisecond part before passing it to the DatePipe.

Performance Improvements

  • core: use ngDevMode to tree-shake error messages (#38612) (b084bff)

11.0.0-next.0 (2020-09-02)

Bug Fixes

  • forms: ensure to emit statusChanges on subsequent value update/validations (#38354) (d9fea85), closes #20424 #14542
  • service-worker: fix condition to check for a cache-busted request (#36847) (5be4edf)

Features

BREAKING CHANGES

  • forms: Previously if FormControl, FormGroup and FormArray class instances had async validators defined at initialization time, the status change event was not emitted once async validator completed. After this change the status event is emitted into the statusChanges observable. If your code relies on the old behavior, you can filter/ignore this additional status change event.

Bug Fixes

Code Refactoring

Performance Improvements

Dependency updates

@angular/compiler-cli now requires:

  • TypeScript 3.9

BREAKING CHANGES

  • TypeScript 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 are no longer supported, please update to TypeScript 3.9.
  • core: Angular npm packages no longer contain jsdoc comments to support Closure Compiler's advanced optimizations

The support for Closure Compiler in Angular packages has been experimental and broken for quite some time.

As of TS3.9, Closure is unusable with the JavaScript emit. Please follow https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/38374 for more information and updates.

If you used Closure Compiler with Angular in the past, you will likely be better off consuming Angular packages built from sources directly rather than consuming the version we publish on npm, which is primarily optimized for Webpack/Rollup + Terser build pipeline.

As a temporary workaround, you might consider using your current build pipeline with Closure flag --compilation_level=SIMPLE. This flag will ensure that your build pipeline produces buildable and runnable artifacts, at the cost of increased payload size due to advanced optimizations being disabled.

If you were affected by this change, please help us understand your needs by leaving a comment on https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/37234.

  • core: make generic mandatory for ModuleWithProviders

A generic type parameter has always been required for the ModuleWithProviders pattern to work with Ivy, but prior to this commit, View Engine allowed the generic type to be omitted (though support was officially deprecated). If you're using ModuleWithProviders without a generic type in your application code, a v10 migration will update your code for you.

However, if you are using View Engine and also depending on a library that omits the generic type, you will now get a build time error similar to:

error TS2314: Generic type 'ModuleWithProviders<T>' requires 1 type argument(s).

In this case, ngcc won't help you (because it's Ivy-only) and the migration only covers application code. You should contact the library author to fix their library to provide a type parameter when they use this class.

As a workaround, we suggest setting skipLibChecks to false in your tsconfig or updating your app to use Ivy.

  • forms: Number inputs no longer listen to the change event.

Tests which trigger change events need to be updated to trigger input events instead.

The change event was in place to support IE9, as we found that input events were not fired with backspace or cut actions. If you need to maintain IE9 support, you will need to add a change event listener to number inputs and call the onChange method of NumberValueAccessor manually.

Lastly, old versions of WebDriver would synthetically trigger the change event on WebElement.clear and WebElement.sendKeys. If you are using an old version of WebDriver, you may need to update tests to ensure input events are triggered. For example, you could use element.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, "a"), Keys.BACK_SPACE); in place of element.clear().

  • forms: The minLength and maxLength validators now verify that the form control's value has a numeric length property, and only validate for length if that's the case.

Previously, falsey values without the length property (such as 0 or false values) were triggering validation errors. If your code relies on the old behavior, you can include other validators such as min or requiredTrue to the list of validators for a particular field.

  • bazel: esm5 and fesm5 format is no longer distributed in Angular's npm packages e.g. @angular/core

If you are not using Angular CLI to build your application or library, and you need to be able to build es5 artifacts, then you will need to downlevel the distributed Angular code to es5 on your own.

Angular CLI will automatically downlevel the code to es5 if differential loading is enabled in the Angular project, so no action is required from Angular CLI users.

  • core: Warnings about unknown elements are now logged as errors. This won't break your app, but it may trip up tools that expect nothing to be logged via console.error.
  • router: Any resolver which return EMPTY will cancel navigation. If you want to allow the navigation to continue, you will need to update the resolvers to emit some value, (i.e. defaultIfEmpty(...), of(...), etc).
  • service-worker: Previously, Vary headers would be taken into account when retrieving resources from the cache, completely preventing the retrieval of cached assets (due to ServiceWorker implementation details) and leading to unpredictable behavior due to inconsistent/buggy implementations in different browsers.

Now, Vary headers are ignored when retrieving resources from the ServiceWorker caches, which can result in resources being retrieved even when their headers are different. If your application needs to differentiate its responses based on request headers, please make sure the Angular ServiceWorker is configured to avoid caching the affected resources.

  • common: This change could result in ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenChecked errors that were not detected before. The error could previously have gone undetected because two WrappedValues are considered "equal" in all cases for the purposes of the check, even if their respective unwrapped values are not.

Additionally, [val]=(observable | async).someProperty will no longer trigger change detection if the value of someProperty is identical to the value in the previous emit. If you need to force change detection, either update the binding to use an object whose reference changes or subscribe to the observable and call markForCheck as needed.

  • common: format day-periods that cross midnight

    When formatting a time with the b or B format codes, the rendered string was not correctly handling day periods that spanned midnight. Instead the logic was falling back to the default case of AM.

    Now the logic has been updated so that it matches times that are within a day period that spans midnight, so it will now render the correct output, such as at night in the case of English.

    Applications that are using either formatDate() or DatePipe and any of the b or B format codes will be affected by this change.

  • router: UrlMatcher's type now reflects that it could always return null.

    If you implemented your own Router or Recognizer class, please update it to handle matcher returning null.

BREAKING CHANGES

  • i18n: The CLDR data has been updated to v36.0.0, which may cause some localized data strings to change. For example, the space separator used in numbers in the fr locales changed from \xa0 to \u202f (c1bd3bc)
  • bazel: @angular/bazel ng_setup_workspace() is no longer needed and has been removed. We assume you will fetch rules_nodejs in your WORKSPACE file, and no other dependencies remain here. Simply remove any calls to this function and the corresponding load statement.
  • typescript 3.4 and 3.5 are no longer supported, please update to typescript 3.6
  • We no longer directly have a direct depedency on tslib. Instead it is now listed a peerDependency.

Users not using the CLI will need to manually install tslib via;

yarn add tslib

or

npm install tslib --save
  • forms: * <ngForm></ngForm> can no longer be used as a selector. Use <ng-form></ng-form> instead.
  • The NgFormSelectorWarning directive has been removed.
  • FormsModule.withConfig has been removed. Use the FormsModule directly.
  • core: The deprecated type Renderer has been removed. Use Renderer2 instead.
  • core: The deprecated type RenderComponentType has been removed. Use RendererType2 instead.
  • core: The deprecated type RootRenderer has been removed. Use RendererFactory2 instead.
  • service-worker: Remove deprecated option versionedFiles from service worker asset group configuration in ngsw-config.json

Before

"assetGroups": [
  {
    "name": "test",
    "resources": {
      "versionedFiles": [
        "/**/*.txt"
      ]
    }
  }
]

After

"assetGroups": [
  {
    "name": "test",
    "resources": {
      "files": [
        "/**/*.txt"
      ]
    }
  }
]
  • ivy: Translations (loaded via the loadTranslations() function) must now use MessageId for the translation key rather than the previous SourceMessage string.
  • ivy: To attach the $localize function to the global scope import from @angular/localize/init. Previously it was @angular/localize. To access the loadTranslations() and clearTranslations() functions, import from @angular/localize. Previously it was @angular/localize/run_time.
  • bazel: Angular bazel users using protractor_web_test_suite from @angular/bazel npm package should now switch to the @bazel/protractor npm package.

This should impact very few users and the user's that are impacted have a very easy upgrade path to switch to fetching the protractor_web_test_suite rule via the @bazel/protractor npm package.

  • ivy: This commit removes the public export of hasBeenProcessed().

This was exported to be availble to the CLI integration but was never used. The change to the function signature is a breaking change in itself so we remove the function altogether to simplify and lower the public API surface going forward.

  • core: Injector.get now accepts abstract classes to return type-safe values. Previous implementation returned any through the deprecated implementation.
  • Angular now compiles with Ivy by default (#32219) (ec4381d).

If you aren't familiar with Ivy, read our blog post about the Ivy preview and see the list of changes here.

  • ivy: make Hammer support tree-shakable. Previously, in Ivy applications, Hammer providers were included by default. With this commit, apps that want Hammer support must import HammerModulein their root module. (#32203) (de8ebbd)

DEPRECATIONS

  • core: TestBed.get function is marked as deprecated, use TestBed.inject instead.

DEPRECATIONS

  • core: deprecate integration with the Web Tracing Framework (WTF) (#30642) (b408445)
  • platform-webworker: deprecate platform-webworker (#30642) (361f181) (which aren't supported) and abstract class tokens.

Before:

TestBed.configureTestingModule({
  providers: [{provide: "stringToken", useValue: new Service()}],
});

let service = TestBed.get("stringToken"); // type any

After:

const SERVICE_TOKEN = new InjectionToken<Service>("SERVICE_TOKEN");

TestBed.configureTestingModule({
  providers: [{provide: SERVICE_TOKEN, useValue: new Service()}],
});

let service = TestBed.get(SERVICE_TOKEN); // type Service

BREAKING CHANGES

  • bazel: @bazel/typescript is now a peerDependency of @angular/bazel so users of @angular/bazel must add @bazel/typescript to their package.json

  • bazel: ng_module now depends on a minimum of build_bazel_rules_nodejs 0.27.12

  • core: In Angular version 8, it's required that all @ViewChild and @ContentChild queries have a 'static' flag specifying whether the query is 'static' or 'dynamic'. The compiler previously sorted queries automatically, but in 8.0 developers are required to explicitly specify which behavior is wanted. This is a temporary requirement as part of a migration; see static query migration guide for more details.

    @ViewChildren and @ContentChildren queries are always dynamic, and so are unaffected.

  • TestBed.get() has two signatures, one which is typed and another which accepts and returns any. The signature for any is deprecated; all usage of TestBed.get() should go through the typed API. This mainly affects string tokens (which aren't supported) and abstract class tokens.

    Before:

    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
  providers: [{provide: "stringToken", useValue: new Service()}],
});

let service = TestBed.get("stringToken"); // type any

    After:

    const SERVICE_TOKEN = new InjectionToken<Service>("SERVICE_TOKEN");

TestBed.configureTestingModule({
  providers: [{provide: SERVICE_TOKEN, useValue: new Service()}],
});

let service = TestBed.get(SERVICE_TOKEN); // type Service

  • core: Certain elements (like <tr> or <col>) require parent elements to be of a certain type by the HTML specification (ex. <tr> can only be inside <tbody> / <thead>). Before this change Angular template parser was auto-correcting "invalid" HTML using the following rules:

    • <tr> would be wrapped in <tbody> if not inside <tbody>, <tfoot> or <thead>;
    • <col> would be wrapped in <colgroup> if not inside <colgroup>.

    This mechanism of automatic wrapping / auto-correcting was problematic for several reasons:

    • it is non-obvious and arbitrary (ex. there are more HTML elements that have rules for parent type);
    • it is incorrect for cases where <tr> / <col> are at the root of a component's content, ex.:
    <projecting-tr-inside-tbody>
  <tr>...</tr>
</projecting-tr-inside-tbody>

    In the above example the <projecting-tr-inside-tbody> component could be "surprised" to see additional <tbody> elements inserted by Angular HTML parser.

  • http: The deprecated @angular/http package has been removed, the @angular/common/http package should be used instead. For details on how to migrate, please refer to the deprecations guide.

  • TypeScript 3.1 and 3.2 are no longer supported.

    Please update your TypeScript version to 3.4, as version 3.3 is also not supported.

Angular Labs (experimental feature) breaking change

  • bazel: Use of @angular/bazel rules now requires calling ng_setup_workspace() in your WORKSPACE file.

For example:

local_repository(
    name = "angular",
    path = "node_modules/@angular/bazel",
)

load("@angular//:index.bzl", "ng_setup_workspace")

Possible Breaking Changes

  • animations: When animation is triggered within a disabled zone, the associated event (which an instance of AnimationEvent) will no longer report the totalTime as 0 (it will emit the actual time of the animation).

    To detect if an animation event is reporting a disabled animation then the event.disabled property can be used instead.

  • compiler: The <template> tag was deprecated in Angular v4 to avoid collisions (i.e. when using Web Components).

    This change removes support for <template>. <ng-template> should be used instead.

    BEFORE:

    <!-- html template -->
<template>some template content</template>

# tsconfig.json
{
  # ...
  "angularCompilerOptions": {
    # ...
    # This option is no more supported and will have no effect
    "enableLegacyTemplate": [true|false]
  }
}

    AFTER:

    <!-- html template -->
<ng-template>some template content</ng-template>

  • core: it is no longer possible to import animation-related functions from @angular/core. All animation symbols must now be imported from @angular/animations.

  • forms: - AbstractControl#statusChanges now emits an event of 'PENDING' when you call AbstractControl#markAsPending

    • Previously it did not emit an event when you called markAsPending
    • To migrate you would need to ensure that if you are filtering or checking events from statusChanges that you account for the new event when calling markAsPending

  • forms: ngModelChange is now emitted after the value/validity is updated on its control.

    Previously, ngModelChange was emitted before its underlying control was updated. This was fine if you passed through the value directly through the $event keyword, e.g.

    <input [(ngModel)]="name" (ngModelChange)="onChange($event)">

onChange(value) {
   console.log(value);               // would log updated value
}

    However, if you had a handler for the ngModelChange event that checked the value through the control, you would get the old value rather than the updated value. e.g:

    <input #modelDir="ngModel" [(ngModel)]="name" (ngModelChange)="onChange(modelDir)">

onChange(ngModel: NgModel) {
  console.log(ngModel.value);        // would log old value, not updated value
}

    Now the value and validity will be updated before the ngModelChange event is emitted, so the same setup will log the updated value.

    onChange(ngModel: NgModel) {
   console.log(ngModel.value);       // will log updated value
}

    We think this order will be less confusing when the control is checked directly. You will only need to update your app if it has relied on this bug to keep track of the old control value. If that is the case, you should be able to track the old value directly by saving it on your component.

  • forms: handle string with and without line boundary on pattern validator (#19256) (75f8522)

5.2.0 (2018-01-10)

Bug Fixes

  • bazel: Give correct module names for ES6 output (#21320) (9728dce), closes #21022
  • benchpress: forward compat with selenium_webdriver 3.6.0 (#21399) (6040ee3)
  • benchpress: work around missing events from Chrome 63 (#21396) (fa03ae1)
  • common: export currencies via getCurrencySymbol (#20983) (fecf768)

Note: Due to an animation fix back in 5.1.1 (c2b3792) which allows for nested :leave queries to work within animation sequences, all elements that are dynamically inserted (*ngIf, *ngFor, etc…) now contain the special CSS class: “ng-star-inserted”. This may cause failures within unit tests if there are any assertions that match against element.className directly. (An easy fix for this is to match using a regular expression instead of asserting the className string directly.)

BREAKING CHANGES

  • compiler: Angular now requires TypeScript 2.4.x.
  • compiler: split compiler and core. @angular/platform-server now additionally depends on @angular/platform-browser-dynamic as a peer dependency. (#18683) (0cc77b4)
  • platformXXXX() no longer accepts providers which depend on reflection. Specifically the method signature went from Provider[] to StaticProvider[].

Example: Before:

[
  MyClass,
  {provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA}
]

After:

[
  {provide: MyClass, deps: [Dep1,...]},
  {provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA, deps: [Dep1,...]}
]

NOTE: This only applies to platform creation and providers for the JIT compiler. It does not apply to @Component or @NgModule provides declarations.

Benchpress note: Previously Benchpress also supported reflective provides, which now require static providers.

I18n Changes (@angular/common)

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.

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 default value is en-US).
    • 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):
    import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule, DeprecatedI18NPipesModule } from '@angular/common';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    // import deprecated module after
    DeprecatedI18NPipesModule
  ]
})
export class AppModule { }

    Don't forget that you will still need to import the intl API polyfill if you want to use those deprecated pipes.

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.
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 $).
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.
