The version 2.0.0-beta.8 is not covered by your current version range.

Without accepting this pull request your project will work just like it did before. There might be a bunch of new features, fixes and perf improvements that the maintainers worked on for you though.

I recommend you look into these changes and try to get onto the latest version of @angular/material.
Given that you have a decent test suite, a passing build is a strong indicator that you can take advantage of these changes by merging the proposed change into your project. Otherwise this branch is a great starting point for you to work on the update.

Release Notes

plasma-abacus

Highlights

• This version marks the release of @angular/cdk (component dev kit)! This package contains
  general building blocks for UI components decoupled from the visuals of Material Design. In the
  initial release, code from Angular Material's core/ have been moved for a11y/, bidi/,
  coercion/, observe-content/, platform/, portal/. The @angular/material package now
  re-exports these symbols, marked as deprecated. The re-exports will be removed in a subsequent
  release.
• Initial version of data-table component. There is both a <cdk-table> (the core) and the
  <md-table> (with Material Design styles). See the documentation on material.angular.io for more
  information.
• Initial version of <md-paginator> and <md-sort-header> components, which can be used either
  with <md-table> or any other table.
• Both @angular/material and @angular/cdk are now strict null compliant.

Breaking changes

• @angular/material now depends on @angular/cdk as a peer dependency.
• Some types have expanded to include | null or | undefined for strict null compatibility. If
  your application uses strict null checks, you may have to update the types in your app to match up
  with the more accurate types coming from Angular Material.
• Angular Material no longer adds RxJS operators to the prototype of Observable. If your app
  depended on these operators being added by Angular Material, you will need to import them
  explicitly.
