Angular 2 now officially supported with DevExtreme v16.2.4

The DevExtreme v16.2.4 release is now available and with it comes the official support for the Angular 2 framework.

This means that you can use:

• Angular CLI and Webpack that help you to bootstrap a new project and quickly add the powerful DevExtreme widgets
• Other package managers like SystemJS and Rollup
• DevExtreme Validation - All built-in DevExtreme validation features are now available inside the DevExtreme Angular 2 components
• New Configuration Components - we've introduced two types of configuration components. The first type provides a convenient and efficient way for binding ‘deep’ properties. The second type allows you to declare collection property items (e.g. DataGrid columns, TabPanel tabs, etc.) via markup
