• If the 'ngTemplateOutletContext' is different from the context, it will result in a compile-time error.

Before the change, the following template was compiling:

interface MyContext {
  $implicit: string;
}

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NgTemplateOutlet],
  selector: 'person',
  template: `
    <ng-container
      *ngTemplateOutlet="
        myTemplateRef;
        context: { $implicit: 'test', xxx: 'xxx' }
      "></ng-container>
  `,
})
export class PersonComponent {
  myTemplateRef!: TemplateRef<MyContext>;
}

However, it does not compile now because the 'xxx' property does not exist in 'MyContext', resulting in the error: 'Type '{ $implicit: string; xxx: string; }' is not assignable to type 'MyContext'.'

The solution is either:

• add the 'xxx' property to 'MyContext' with the correct type or
• add '$any(...)' inside the template to make the error disappear. However, adding '$any(...)' does not correct the error but only preserves the previous behavior of the code.

core

• • entryComponents has been deleted from the @NgModule and @Component public APIs. Any usages can be removed since they weren't doing anyting.
  • ANALYZE_FOR_ENTRY_COMPONENTS injection token has been deleted. Any references can be removed.
• ComponentRef.setInput will only set the input on the
  component if it is different from the previous value (based on Object.is
  equality). If code relies on the input always being set, it should be
  updated to copy objects or wrap primitives in order to ensure the input
  value differs from the previous call to setInput.

Deprecations

core

• makeStateKey, StateKey and TransferState exports have been moved from @angular/platform-browser to @angular/core. Please update the imports.

- import {makeStateKey, StateKey, TransferState} from '@angular/platform-browser';
+ import {makeStateKey, StateKey, TransferState} from '@angular/core';

• The @Directive/@Component moduleId property is now
  deprecated. It did not have any effect for multiple major versions and
  will be removed in v17.

platform-server

• PlatformConfig.baseUrl and PlatformConfig.useAbsoluteUrl platform-server config options are deprecated as these were not used.
