Ionic2: checkbox not working anymore

Hi,
It seems that the is not working anymore (since yesterday morning). I updated ionic@beta yesterday and since checkboxes are not clickable anymore. I tried creating a brand new project and adding a checkbox on the hello page (I got the same issue).

<ion-navbar *navbar>
  <button menuToggle>
    <ion-icon name="menu"></ion-icon>
  </button>
  <ion-title>Hello Ionic</ion-title>
</ion-navbar>

  <p>
    <button primary menuToggle>Toggle Menu</button>
  </p>

<ion-item>
  <ion-label>Arya Stark</ion-label>
  <ion-checkbox></ion-checkbox>
</ion-item>

</ion-content>

all the rest of the app is the exact ionic start project. Is it a bug or I am missing something obvious
