15.0.0
A bunch of breaking releases this time ...
Libraries
Angular
Updated to the most recent 5.0.1. Please have a look at the release announcement of version 5 to get an overview of what is new and what has changed.
Note: The build optimizer is currently not active by default, i.e. you still have to use the build:bo
task resp. the --use-build-optimizer
CLI option.
Rxjs
Rxjs was updated to 5.5.2. The most notable new feature are the lettable operator, which will help in using less global operator imports and building your own rxjs compatible operators.
For other changes, take a look at the project's changelog.
TypeScript
TypeScript dependency got updated to 2.6.1. See the release announcement to get an overview of the fixes and breaking changes.
Note: Angular requires TypeScript 2.4, and has no been tested thoroughly with more recent versions. Most things will work, but there might be some cases where it doesn't, so you might need to drop this dependency version.
Others
Node.js
As already announced in an issue, from this release on, only node.js >= 8.9 will be officially supported. The .nvmrc
is already adopted properly. Currently, there are no features that won't work in node.js 6, and the CI is still executed for this version. However, both will change sooner or later.
Prettier
Prettier got updated to 1.8.2. Please have a look at the release information to get an overview of what has changed. Source code already got formatted with this version.
