- added angular.injector(scope, services, instanceCache) which returns inject
- inject method can return, instance, or call function which have $inject
property
- initialize services with $creation=[eager|eager-publish] this means that
only some of the services are now globally accessible
- upgraded $become on scope to use injector hence respect the $inject property
for injection
- $become should not be run multiple times and will most likely be removed
in future version
- added $new on scope to create a child scope
- $inject is respected on constructor function
- simplified scopes so that they no longer have separate __proto__ for
parent, api, behavior and instance this should speed up execution since
scope will now create one __proto__ chain per scope (not three).
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY WARNING:
- services now need to have $inject instead of inject property for proper
injection this breaks backward compatibility
- not all services are now published into root scope
(only: $location, $cookie, $window)
- if you have widget/directive which uses services on scope
(such as this.$xhr), you will now have to inject that service in
(as it is not published on the root scope anymore)
- change from using prototype to inner functions to help with better compression
- removed watchers (url/cookie) and introduced a poller concept
- moved the checking of URL and cookie into services which register with poolers
Benefits:
- Smaller minified file
- can call $browser.poll() from tests to simulate polling
- single place where setTimeout needs to be tested
- More testable $browser
