# 14.0.0-next.2 (2022-02-07)

## Breaking Changes

### core

- Forms [email] input coercion

Forms [email] input value will be considered as true if it is defined with any value rather

than false and 'false'.

### forms

- objects with a length key set to zero will no longer validate as empty.

This is technically a breaking change, since objects with a key `length` and value `0` will no longer validate as empty. This is a very minor change, and any reliance on this behavior is probably a bug anyway.

### platform-browser

- This change may cause a breaking change in unit tests that are implicitly depending on a specific

number and sequence of change detections in order for their assertions to pass.

- This may break invalid calls to `TransferState` methods.

This tightens parameter types of `TransferState` usage, and is a minor breaking change which may reveal existing problematic calls.

### router

- * The type of `initialUrl` is set to `string|UrlTree` but in reality,

the `Router` only sets it to a value that will always be `UrlTree`

* `initialUrl` is documented as "The target URL passed into the

`Router#navigateByUrl()` call before navigation" but the value

actually gets set to something completely different. It's set to the

current internal `UrlTree` of the Router at the time navigation

occurs.

With this change, there is no exact replacement for the old value of

`initialUrl` because it was enver intended to be exposed.

`Router.url` is likely the best replacement for this.

In more specific use-cases, tracking the `finalUrl` between successful

navigations can also be used as a replacement.
