([#44881](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/44881)) | ## Special Thanks Alan, Andrew Kushnir, Andrew Scott, Aristeidis Bampakos, Arjen, Daniel Díaz, David Shevitz, Doug Parker, Dylan Hunn, Esteban Gehring, George Kalpakas, Jessica Janiuk, JoostK, Juri Strumpflohner, Lee Robinson, Maarten Tibau, Paul Gschwendtner, Theodore Brown, arturovt, dario-piotrowicz, fru2, markostanimirovic and mgechev # 13.2.0 (2022-01-26) ## Deprecations ### - The `CachedResourceLoader` and `RESOURCE_CACHE_PROVIDER` symbols were previously necessary in some cases to test AOT-compiled components with View Engine, but they are no longer needed since Ivy. - The `ComponentFactory` and `ComponentFactoryResolver` classes are deprecated. Since Ivy, there is no need to resolve Component factories. Please use other APIs where you Component classes can be used directly (without resolving their factories). - Since Ivy, the `CompilerOptions.useJit` and `CompilerOptions.missingTranslation` config options are unused, passing them has no effect. ### | Commit | Type | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [9c11183e74](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/9c11183e74980b12c3c5712df174e90af6f19027) | docs | deprecate `CachedResourceLoader` and `RESOURCE_CACHE_PROVIDER` symbols ([#44749](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/44749)) | | [9f12e7fea4](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/9f12e7fea434c6d33e1155994e2c228d51520744) | docs | deprecate `ComponentFactory` and `ComponentFactoryResolver` symbols ([#44749](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/44749)) | | [4e95a316ce](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/4e95a316cef35a771cd8168e3a744eb6bd7f1615) | docs | deprecate unused config options from the `CompilerOptions` interface ([#44749](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/44749)) | ### compiler | Commit | Type | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [a4ab6d6b72](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/a4ab6d6b72fe891f232d2446f8b7c454a82a5ba0) | feat | add support for safe calls in templates ([#44580](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/44580)) | | [abd1bc8039](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/abd1bc8039ade4324f91fd616c82e52f05bdbb70) | fix | correct spans when parsing bindings with comments ([#44785](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/44785)) | | [ed67a074ce](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/ed67a074ceed6440bf7f638512a20bbd3be8cbd4) | fix | properly compile DI factories when coverage reporting is enabled ([#44732](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/44732)) | ### compiler-cli | Commit | Type | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [fa835b5a29](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/fa835b5a297087087eac2750b662096ed5492cb6) | feat | enable extended diagnostics by default ([#44712](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/44712)) | | [73424def13](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/73424def130ae1d72036142f6f2d7bce63858c9e) | feat | provide the animations for `DirectiveMeta` ([#44630](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/44630)) | | [fe3e4d6865](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/fe3e4d6865c1e760be0511cfd757b4574a67fa5b) | fix | Handle `ng-template` with structural directive in indexer ([#44788](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/44788)) | | [7316e72ec5](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/7316e72ec5ccc475e610bf26b5da451b8ffa50a2) | fix | properly index

``` ### Animation Package We have pulled Animations into their own package. This means that if you don’t use Animations, this extra code will not end up in your production bundles. This also allows you to more easily find documentation and to take better advantage of autocompletion. If you do need animations, libraries like Material will automatically import the module (once you install it via NPM), or you can add it yourself to your main NgModule. ### TypeScript 2.1 We’ve updated Angular to a more recent version of TypeScript. This will improve the speed of `ngc` and you will get better type checking throughout your application. ### StrictNullChecks Angular is now compliant with [TypeScript’s StrictNullChecks](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-2-0.html). This means that you can enable StrictNullChecks in your project, if desired. ### Universal Universal, the project that allows developers to run Angular on a server, is now up to date with Angular again, and has been adopted by the Angular team. This release now includes the results of the work from the Universal team over the last few months. The majority of the Universal code is now in platform-server. To learn more about this change, take a look the new [`renderModuleFactory`](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/56f232cdd70a352cb9151bc7cfe8981bc2710ea6/modules/%40angular/platform-server/src/utils.ts#L63-L72) method, or Rob Wormald’s [Demo Repository](https://github.com/robwormald/ng-universal-demo/). More documentation is forthcoming. ### Flat ES Modules (Flat ESM / FESM) We now ship flattened versions of our modules ("rolled up" version of our code in the EcmaScript Module format, see [example file](https://github.com/angular/core-builds/blob/85cbe3f8d6107af033b0f8b56456c181cbcb5eb7/%40angular/core.js)). This format should help tree-shaking, help reduce the size of your generated bundles, and speed up build, transpilation, and loading in the browser in certain scenarios. ### ES2015 Builds We now also ship our packages in the ES2015 Flat ESM format. This option is experimental and opt-in (configure your webpack to resolve ["es2015" property](https://github.com/angular/core-builds/blob/dc0c8d828a8bae6591d2b9c77974271481af818c/package.json#L7) in package.json over the regular ["module" property](https://github.com/angular/core-builds/blob/dc0c8d828a8bae6591d2b9c77974271481af818c/package.json#L6)). ## Known Issues The following is a list of known issues that will be fixed in the next rcs. - Source maps are missing in npm packages - Generated bundles will be larger temporarily while we validate new code paths and remove old ones - angular.io docs have not been updated to reflect API changes in 4.0 - legacy UMD bundles don't have correct RxJS mappings when running in ES5 mode without a module system ## Installing RC.1 We have two main ways to update. If you have an existing project, you should be able to run: On Linux/Mac: `npm install @angular/{common,compiler,compiler-cli,core,forms,http,platform-browser,platform-browser-dynamic,platform-server,router,animations}@next --save` On Windows: `npm install @angular/common@next @angular/compiler@next @angular/compiler-cli@next @angular/core@next @angular/forms@next @angular/http@next @angular/platform-browser@next @angular/platform-browser-dynamic@next @angular/platform-server@next @angular/router@next @angular/animations@next --save` Then run whatever `ng serve` or `npm start` command you normally use, and everything should work. _Please ensure that you are using Typescript v2.1.6 or higher._ _If you rely on Animations_ you’ll also need to install the animations package `@angular/animations` and import the new `BrowserAnimationsModule` from `@angular/platform-browser/animations` in your root NgModule. Without this, your code will compile and run, but animations won’t activate. Imports from `@angular/core` were deprecated, use imports from the new package `import { trigger, state, style, transition, animate } from '@angular/animations';`. ## What's next? We have [three more release candidates scheduled](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/docs/RELEASE_SCHEDULE.md) before our planned GA the week of March 22. In the meantime we'll be looking for your feedback, fixing bugs and working on docs. ## Commit Summary ### Features - **compiler:** Add a `enableLegacyTemplate` option to support `
