3.1.0-beta+1

3.1.0

New features

• Exposed TouchFunction and ChangeFunction typedefs to make the transition
  to strong-mode easier for teams relying on these function definitions. We
  might remove them in a future release when they are no longer needed.

• Added a flag to use an experimental new compiler that uses the Dart analyzer
  to gather metadata information. This flag will be turned on by default in
  4.0:

transformers:
    angular2/transform/codegen:
        use_analyzer: true

WARNING: Using use_analyzer: true requires discontinuing use of the
platform_* options, and fails-fast if both flags are used. See
https://goo.gl/68VhMa for details.

WARNING: Using use_analyser: true doesn't yet work with most third-party
packages due to a bug.

Deprecations

• Using dart:mirrors (i.e. running AngularDart without code generation) is
  now formally deprecated. In 4.0+ code generation will be the only way to
  run an AngularDart application, even in development mode. Please ensure you
  are using our transformer: https://goo.gl/rRHqO7.

Bug fixes

• CSS errors are now just warnings, and can be ignored. This is due to using
  a CSS parser for encapsulation - and the AngularDart transformer aggressively
  runs on all CSS files in a given package. We hope to make this smoother in a
  future release.

• Do not generate throwOnChanges checks outside of dev-mode.

Performance

• Bypasses the deprecated event plugin system for all native DOM events.
• At runtime interpolate is now represented by multiple functions (faster).
• KeyValueDiffer (NgClass, NgStyle) optimized for initial add/removals.
• No longer generates event handler registrations for directive outputs.
