Will there be an upgrade path from the current seed to the updated version? I'm starting a new project but if updating will be tricky I could probably wait until the changes are in.

Hey, sorry for delay. It won't be trivial due to migration to completely ng-cli based angular app management, but I'll try to provide upgrade path (I have one project using this seed and I will have to upgrade it too). I'll try to deliver on friday or saturday - 6th or 7th of january. You can take a look at these instructions to see the scope of change. Also some of the sbt-related files have to change from what I've seen till now.

Any idea when we can expect the upgrade?

Thanks!

Updated to newest Angular 2 and Angular-CLI. Build system was refactored to use Angular-CLI only. I don't have precise migration path from old seed to this version - no time sadly :( - but I will try to add it ASAP.

Tree-shaking is still borked and not much progress have been achieved between Webpack and Uglifyjs teams.

Angular-universal on JVM is pretty far from stable for now, SSR with Java/Scala backend is not possible for now.

To do:

• run on windows and linux (tested on mac only for now), Windows will probably explode :(

Updated to Angular ^2.4.0 and Angular CLI 1.0.0.rc.1.
