Datepicker min attribute - dates before min dates are still available. Validation works

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Bug

What is the expected behavior?

When I set 'min' on a datepicker I want to see disabled all dates before that

What is the current behavior?

The dates which are in past from min date are not disabled

What are the steps to reproduce?

Set the min date for datepicker, and previous dates are still available from UI, validation will still work.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

The min attribute is useless for UI, the validation still works

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

I'm using https://github.com/angular/material2-builds.git repo

Is there anything else we should know?

I was flowing the #4725 and used the material2-builds repository, but another problem occurred. This issue.

Plunker? Seems to be working fine here

Hello, I don't think you are using same repo for angular material https://github.com/angular/material2-builds.git

[willshowell]

Sorry, you're right I was using the latest beta release.

min is working @ 1f93cdb
min is broken @ 28d2ddd

Therefore it looks like the regression was introduced via #4370

@vmachacek there are several other datepicker bugs due to that PR. I posted them as a comment #4370 (comment) and reposting here:

1. Unable to start in year view
2. Start at date has no effect
3. "Prev month" button initially enabled when min date in current month
4. When setting min/max dates within current month, all days are enabled until month view is refreshed
5. Active date is not highlighted until month view is refreshed

@willshowell do you have a reproduction? When I try this in our dev environment it works fine. I also don't see how adding an extra change detection pass would cause any behavior change.

@jelbourn Weird, I was running it locally too and still seeing this issue. Here's a plunker using the latest material2-build

I see the issue now. The initial round of change detection makes Angular think that the component doesn't need another when the datepicker property of DatepickerContent is changed.

@jelbourn additionally, the entrance animation of the datepicker in touchUi mode stopped working due to that commit.

Working @ 1f93cdb: Plunker
Broken @ 28d2ddd: Plunker

Using the following simple code max date is working fine but I could not achieve the min date functionality:
Html Code:

<input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker" placeholder="Choose a date" [min]="startDate" [max]="endDate">
<mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker">
<mat-datepicker #picker>

Ts Code:
this.minDateValue = new Date(1900, 1, 1);
this.maxDateValue = new Date();
