Current behavior Snippet of Build Error, this list goes on for a long time.

ERROR in ../node_modules/@swimlane/ngx-datatable/lib/components/body/body-group-header.directive.d.ts:9:9 - error TS1086: An accessor cannot be declared in an ambient context.

9     get template(): TemplateRef<any>;
          ~~~~~~~~
../node_modules/@swimlane/ngx-datatable/lib/services/column-changes.service.d.ts:8:9 - error TS1086: An accessor cannot be declared in an ambient context.

8     get columnInputChanges$(): Observable<undefined>;
          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Expected behavior Successful build using 16.1.0 after an update (no breaking changes in a minor version bump).

Reproduction of the problem Updating from 16.0.3 to 16.1.0.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I just republished 16.0.3 as 16.1.1. Please “upgrade” to 16.1.1 for angular versions <9. Otherwise please use 17.0.0.

we are facing another manifestation, starting today, getting @swimlane/ngx-datatable@16.1.0 on typedoc:

Error while generating typedoc file: Error: Command failed: /Users/schme/dev/jones/fubar/node_modules/.bin/typedoc --json /Users/schme/dev/jones/fubar/src/docs-tmp/all.json --tsconfig /Users/schme/dev/jones/fubar/src/app/components/tsconfig.documentation.json /Users/schme/dev/jones/fubar/node_modules/@skope

[TS] stdout: 
Using TypeScript 3.1.6 from /Users/schme/dev/jones/fubar/node_modules/typescript/lib
Error: /Users/schme/dev/jones/fubar/node_modules/@swimlane/ngx-datatable/lib/components/body/body-cell.component.d.ts(7)
 An accessor cannot be declared in an ambient context.

Unfortunately for us, we recently published a component, depending on "@swimlane/ngx-datatable": "^16.0.2" – so for us to fix, we will need to release another version to our customers without the caret.

This is clearly a breaking change in ngx-datatable; should have gone into 17.0.0
