Breaking Changes

@angular-devkit/build-angular

• Reflect metadata polyfill is no longer automatically provided in JIT mode
  Reflect metadata support is not required by Angular in JIT applications compiled by the CLI.
  Applications built in AOT mode did not and will continue to not provide the polyfill.
  For the majority of applications, the reflect metadata polyfill removal should have no effect.
  However, if an application uses JIT mode and also uses the previously polyfilled reflect metadata JavaScript APIs, the polyfill will need to be manually added to the application after updating.
  To replicate the previous behavior, the core-js package should be manually installed and the import 'core-js/proposals/reflect-metadata'; statement should be added to the application's polyfills.ts file.

Deprecations

@angular/cli

• The defaultCollection workspace option has been deprecated in favor of schematicCollections.

  Before

  "defaultCollection": "@angular/material"

  After

  "schematicCollections": ["@angular/material"]

• The defaultProject workspace option has been deprecated. The project to use will be determined from the current working directory.

@angular-devkit/core

• • ContentHasMutatedException, InvalidUpdateRecordException, UnimplementedException and MergeConflictException symbol from @angular-devkit/core have been deprecated in favor of the symbol from @angular-devkit/schematics.
  • UnsupportedPlatformException - A custom error exception should be created instead.
