• Support for firebase-tools less than 8.0 has been dropped
• angularfire2 NPM shim will no longer be updated
• Dropped @angular/fire/firebase-node and @angular/fire/database-depreciated
• Using ng-packagr to build the library, bringing us back up to speed on APF
• All of our @NgModules are now providedIn: 'any' rather than singletons
• We make use of Proxy in more modules, you'll need to polyfill if you want to support IE 11
• Simplified AngularFirePerformanceMonitoring since we now have Google Analytics
• ng add @angular/fire will now detect SSR and you will have the option for ng deploy to spin up a Cloud Function
• There's now a --preview option on ng deploy which will allow you to preview your application locally before continuing with the deploy
• Fixed several Zone.js issues in the Node environment
• Browser environments will now have a macrotask keeping Zone.js from stabilizing until RTDB, Firestore, etc. return an initial result (only SSR had this before.) Please file an Issue on GitHub if you find Zone.js issues in the browser environment

@angular/fire

• Dropped the RealtimeDatabaseURL and DATABASE_URL DI tokens, use import { URL } from '@angular/fire/database' instead
• Dropped runOutsideAngular, runInZone, FirebaseZoneScheduler, and the Firebase* type aliases

@angular/fire/analytics

• AngularFireAnalytics now memozies analytics.Analtyics instances keyed to the measurementId, this prevents exceptions if you're using more than one FirebaseApp with the same measurementId. This is also needed as we are providedIn: 'any'.

@angular/fire/auth

• AngularFireAuthModule is now side-effect free and AngularFireAuth will dynamically import firebase/auth when a request is made
• AngularFireAuth has dropped the auth property and instead Promise Proxies the underlying Firebase auth.Auth instance

@angular/fire/auth-guard

• AngularFireAuthGuard and canActivate have dropped (attempted) support for raw AuthPipes, as they were not functioning in AOT builds; you'll want to move to AuthPipeGenerators
• Fixed some Zone.js issues when combining our auth guard and lazy loaded routes

• AngularFireMessaging has dropped the messaging property and instead Promise Proxies the underlying Firebase messaging.Messaging instance

@angular/fire/performance

• AngularFirePerformance has dropped the performance property and instead Promise Proxies the underlying Firebase performance.Performance instance
• The pipes that were available on AngularFirePerformance (trace, traceUntil, etc.) have been moved to pure-functions and can be imported separately from the class. (e.g, import { trace } from '@angular/fire/analytics') these pipes have been simplified and now use the User Timing API
• Automatic tracing of ApplicationRef.isStable how now been moved to a service PerformanceMonitoringService as such the AUTOMATICALLY_TRACE_CORE_NG_METRICS DI token has been dropped
