• breaking

  We now issue a build time error since importing a CSS file as an ECMA module is non standard Webpack specific feature, which is not supported by the Angular CLI.

  This feature was never truly supported by the Angular CLI, but has as such for visibility.

• breaking

  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.

• breaking

  NG_BUILD_CACHE environment variable has been removed. cli.cache in the workspace configuration should be used instead.

• breaking

  The deprecated showCircularDependencies browser and server builder option has been removed. The recommended method to detect circular dependencies in project code is to use either a lint rule or other external tools.
