+# [2.0.0-beta.12 marble-mustache](https://github.com/angular/material2/compare/2.0.0-beta.11...2.0.0-beta.12) (2017-10-05)
+
+### Highlights
+
+* Progress spinner is now entirely css-based. 
+* Fixed sidenav: the sidenav can now be configured to use fixed positioning. This resolves a longstanding issue where sidenav-container would always introduce a scrolling region.
+* `mat-select` is now used inside `mat-form-field`. This makes all of the existing form-field features available with `mat-select`, including hints, errors, prefixes, and suffixes. This also ensures that `mat-select` and `matInput` have a consistent presentation.
+
+```html
+<mat-form-field>
+  <mat-select placeholder="State">
+    <mat-option *ngFor="let state of states" [value]="state">{{ state }}</mat-option>
+  </mat-select>
+</mat-form-field>
+```
+
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+* Previously the `ScrollDispatcher.scrolled` subscription would react both on scroll events and on window resize events. Now it only reacts to scroll events. To react to resize events, subscribe to the `ViewportRuler.change()` stream.
+* `UniqueSelectionDispatcher`, `UniqueSelectionDispatcherListener` and `UNIQUE_SELECTION_DISPATCHER_PROVIDER` are no longer
+available from @angular/material and instead must be imported from @angular/cdk/collections
+* `isFocusTrapEnabled` is now properly marked internal.
+* The `OverlayRef.getState` method has been renamed to `OverlayRef.getConfig`.
+* `defaultErrorStateMatcher` has been replaced by `ErrorStateMatcher`. For more info, see the [input docs](https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/src/lib/input/input.md#custom-error-matcher).
