16.0.0-next.0 (2023-02-22)

Breaking Changes

• Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc) has been removed and as a result Angular View Engine libraries will no longer work

common

• MockPlatformLocation is now provided by default in tests.
  Existing tests may have behaviors which rely on
  BrowserPlatformLocation instead. For example, direct access to the
  window.history in either the test or the component rather than going
  through the Angular APIs (Location.getState()). The quickest fix is to
  update the providers in the test suite to override the provider again
  TestBed.configureTestingModule({providers: [{provide: PlatformLocation, useClass: BrowserPlatformLocation}]}).
  The ideal fix would be to update the code to instead be compatible with
  MockPlatformLocation instead.

core

• RendererType2.styles no longer accepts nested arrays.

router

• The Scroll event's routerEvent property may also be
  a NavigationSkipped event. Previously, it was only a NavigationEnd
  event.
• The RouterEvent type is no longer present in the Event union type representing all router event types. If you have code using something like filter((e: Event): e is RouterEvent => e instanceof RouterEvent), you'll need to update it to filter((e: Event|RouterEvent): e is RouterEvent => e instanceof RouterEvent).
