* `OnPushObserve` was an experimental

feature for Dart and had

conceptual performance problems,

as setting up observables is slow.

Use `OnPush` instead.

* In Dart we used to support injecting types with generics. As this feature is hard to implement with the upcoming codegen we are dropping it.

Merge cl/115454020 in G3 with this change.

* The `$router` injectable service has been renamed to `$rootRouter`

* The recently added binding of the current router to the current component

has been renamed from `router` to `$router`.

So now the recommended set up for your bindings in your routed component

is:

{

...

bindings: {

$router: '<'

}

}
