TypeScript 1.8.0 causes compile errors

[nillis]

Yesterday 1.8.0 Beta released. I suggest to change the version of typescript in the pacakges.json to 1.7.5 as the Beta causes compile errors, contains debugger statements, ...

I've locked it in 2.5.6, will take a look at the errors when I get a chance.

I've raised this issue: microsoft/TypeScript#6766
Unfortunately this means you can't use 1.8.0 right now, the issue affexts plugin-typescript and the built in transpiler.

@frankwallis PR with the fix in submitted so hopefully it will available in today nightly build

@vladima, that's great news, thanks

plugin-typescript@3.0.0 now uses typescript@1.9.0-dev.20160206 where this issue is fixed.

When typescript@1.8.2 is released I may revert to using that.
