1.5.5 material-conspiration (2016-04-18)

Reverts

• $compile: move setting of controller data to single location Reverted commit 21d148ae since it caused the Angular Material tabs directive to fail.

• ngRoute: allow ngView to be included in an asynchronously loaded template Eagerly loading $route, could break tests, because it might request the root or default route template (something $httpBackend would know nothing about).

  It will be re-applied for v1.6.x, with a breaking change notice and possibly a way to disable the feature in tests.

Deprecation Warning

• The ngTouch module's ngClick directive has been deprecated and disabled by default. See the breaking changes section for more information
• The angular.lowercase and angular.uppercase functions have been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.7.0. It is recommended to use String.prototype.toLowerCase and String.prototype.toUpperCase functions instead.

Bug Fixes

• $compile:
  • properly denormalize templates when only one of the start/end symbols is different (8348365d, #13848)
  • handle boolean attributes in @ bindings (db5e0ffe, #13767, #13769)
• $parse: Preserve expensive checks when running $eval inside an expression (acfda102)

  • correctly handle $animate.pin() host elements (7700e2df, #13783)
  • properly cancel-out previously running class-based animations (20b8ece4, #10156, #13822)
  • ensure that animate promises resolve when the document is hidden (52ea4110)
  • do not trigger animations if the document is hidden (a3a7afd3, #12842, #13776)
• ngSanitize: blacklist the attribute usemap as it can be used as a security exploit (234053fc)
• ngTouch: deprecate ngClick and disable it by default (0dfc1dfe, #4030, #5307, #6001, #6432, #7231, #11358, #12082, #12153, #12392, #12545, #12867, #13213, #13558, #3296, #3347, #3447, #3999, #4428, #6251, #6330, #7134, #7935, #9724, #9744, #9872, #10211, #10366, #10918, #11197, #11261, #11342, #11577, #12150, #12317, #12455, #12734, #13122, #13272, #13447)

Features

• $compile:
  • allow required controllers to be bound to the directive controller (56c3666f, #6040, #5893, #13763)
  • allow directive definition property require to be an object (cd21216f, #8401, #13763)

Performance Improvements

• $compile: avoid needless overhead when wrapping text nodes (92e4801d)
• ngAnimate: speed up areAnimationsAllowed check (683bd92f)

Breaking Changes

• ngSanitize: due to 234053fc,

The $sanitize service will now remove instances of the usemap attribute from any elements passed to it.

This attribute is used to reference another element by name or id. Since the name and id attributes are already blacklisted, a sanitized usemap attribute could only reference unsanitized content, which is a security risk.

• ngTouch: due to 0dfc1dfe,

The ngClick override directive from the ngTouch module is deprecated and disabled by default. This means that on touch-based devices, users might now experience a 300ms delay before a click event is fired.

If you rely on this directive, you can still enable it with the $touchProvider.ngClickOverrideEnabled()method:

angular.module('myApp').config(function($touchProvider) {
  $touchProvider.ngClickOverrideEnabled(true);
});

Going forward, we recommend using FastClick or perhaps one of the Angular 3rd party touch-related modules that provide similar functionality.

Also note that modern browsers already remove the 300ms delay under some circumstances:

• Chrome and Firefox for Android remove the 300ms delay when the well-known <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> is set
• Internet Explorer removes the delay when touch-action css property is set to none or manipulation
• Since iOs 8, Safari removes the delay on so-called "slow taps"

See this article by Telerik for more info on the topic.

Note that this change does not affect the ngSwipe directive.

Performance Improvements

Breaking Changes

While we do not deem the following to be a real breaking change we are highlighting it here in the changelog to ensure that it does not surprise anyone.

• $resource: due to 47486524,

Possible breaking change for users who updated their code to provide a timeout promise for a $resource request in version v1.4.8.

Up to v1.4.7 (included), using a promise as a timeout in $resource, would silently fail (i.e. have no effect).

In v1.4.8, using a promise as timeout would have the (buggy) behaviour described in https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pull/12657#issuecomment-152108887. (I.e. it will work as expected for the first time you resolve the promise and will cancel all subsequent requests after that - one has to re-create the resource class. This was not documented.)

With this change, using a promise as timeout in v1.4.9 onwards is not allowed. It will log a warning and ignore the timeout value.

If you need support for cancellable $resource actions, you should upgrade to version 1.5 or higher.
