Hello

Please provide an approximate release date for new version of BETA, very need several fixes that were merged

Thank you

[fxck]

Use https://github.com/angular/material2-builds if you want snapshot of master.

[djleonskennedy]

@fxck Could you clarify how to use it ?

@fxck I was getting this error with material2-builds.git#b74e662528934950652d64fc41ca7ec2a852cf2b:

ERROR in ./~/css-loader?{"sourceMap":false,"importLoaders":1}!./~/postcss-loader!./~/sass-loader!./src/styles/theme.scss
Module build failed:
@import '~@angular/material/core/theming/all-theme';
^
      File to import not found or unreadable: ~@angular/material/core/theming/all-theme.

Looks like something changed with how custom themes work. Just to confirm, now we need to import:

@import '~@angular/material/theming';

instead of

@import '~@angular/material/core/theming/all-theme'

Correct?

@sasxa Yes. I did custom theme by that way and there was no problem.

[fxck]

That's because the paths were recently changed (couple of issues were already opened about it, search them), that's the price you have to pay for using cutting edge releases, you have to fish commits for breaking changes.

[sasxa]

@fxck @laco0416 OK, thanks. It's a really small change and not a big issue, just wanted to confirm. :-)

I am eager to use the snapshot builds but my build server is behind firewall with access only to internal npm registry which can download from npm registry. So the build server can't use snapshots from github. It would be great if a periodic snapshots can be published to npm may be with experimental tag.

[kamarouski]

Still curious what is the roadmap for next releases? Are we going to see new beta version any time soon?

This is just to feed my curiosity :)

[djleonskennedy]

@kamarouski you're happy if just "curiosity", i looking forward new release as the second coming of Christ

[djleonskennedy]

@mmrath totally agree

[kamarouski]

@djleonskennedy haha. If you want to get latest fixes there is an option to get latest master version. This makes life a bit easier.

I'm waiting for a few extra components like data table and calendar, though when I started using beta version of Angular Material I accepted the fact that there is no fixed schedule, there can be breaking changes and some parts are missing.

[Cleudi]

Not everybody has the option to use snapshots... therefore kind of a release schedule would really be helpful.

We also use material.... we decided to use it 9 months ago, assuming that there will be at least something like a stable version until our product is entering productive mode... assumption was wrong, and we can not risk breaking features because of a snapshot update...

read #3799 (comment)

[mmrath]

@fxck does not really help. I know it is in beta and it will be unstable. but why not release few frequent unstable betas or even experimental or nightly build

[jelbourn]

We're trying to release a new beta soon but are still working on smoothing out a particular issue with Webpack + tree-shaking for the components.
