    defaultPipes.config.

#### Breaking Changes

* 
THe appInjector property has been removed. Instead use viewInjector or hostInjector.

 ([f0e962c5](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/f0e962c5))
*     The Http module previously would return RxJS Observables from method calls
    of the Http class. In order to support Dart, the module was refactored to
    return the EventEmitter abstraction instead, which does not contain the same
    combinators or subscription semantics as an RxJS Observable. However, the
    EventEmitter provides a toRx() method which will return an RxJS Subject,
    providing the same subscription and combinator conveniences as were
    available prior to this refactor.

    This is temporary, until issue #2794 is resolved, when Observables will
    again be returned directly from Http class methods.

 ([34eaf65a](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/34eaf65a))
* HttpFactory is no longer available. 
    This factory provided a function alternative to the `request` method of the
    Http class, but added no real value. The additional factory required an
    additional IHttp interface, an odd way to inject while preserving type information
    (`@Inject(HttpFactory) http:IHttp`), and required additional documentation in the
    http module.

#### Breaking Changes

* compiler will throw on binding to non-existing properties.

Till now it was possible to have a binding to a non-existing property,
ex.: `<div [foo]="exp">`. From now on this is compilation error - any
property binding needs to have at least one associated property:
eaither on an HTML element or on any directive associated with a
given element (directives' properites need to be declared using the
`properties` field in the `@Directive` / `@Component` annotation).

Closes #2598

 ([d7b9345b](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/d7b9345b))
* 
This PR remove an ability to use pipes in the properties config. Instead, inject the pipe registry.

`AppViewManager.createFreeHostView` (for imperative components).

The later creates new host elements that are not attached anywhere.
To attach them, use `DomRenderer.getHostElement(hostviewRef)`
to get the host element.

Closes #1920

 ([421d8916](https://github.com/angular/angular/commit/421d8916))
* - renames `DirectiveMetadataReader` into `DirectiveResolver`
  and removes `src/core/compiler/directive_metadata`.
