Angular 5 has arrived
summary
Angular 5 ships concrete changes: a build optimizer that strips decorators and helps tree‑shaking (but hits issues on very large apps), AOT incremental rebuilds (40s → 2s) that cut compile times dramatically, and a new HTTP client; old HttpModule deprecated. Also: server rendering moves to Domino, template type‑checking and preserved whitespace flags, service‑worker PWA support, zone bypass flag for perf, RxJS lettable operators for better tree‑shaking, and a few small breaking changes in i18n and date pipes.
