> The sandbox was never intended to be a security feature, but rather a feature to keep developers from shooting into their own foot (e.g. by creating global variables). It was considered to be defense-in-depth mechanism for a while, but it turns out it is at best misleading for users who believe it protects them. That is why we removed it.

For apps using Angular 1.5, do any changes need to be made to move up to Angular 1.6 without the sandbox? Does Angular lose any features with the removal of the sandbox?

No, it's fully compatible.
