angular.js/CHANGELOG.md

0.9.10 flea-whisperer (in-progress)

0.9.9 time-shift (2011-01-13)

Security

• Added a just in case security check for JSON parsing. (commit 5f080193)
• Completed security review with the Google Security Team.

Performance

• $location and $cookies services are now lazily initialized to avoid the polling overhead when not needed.
• $location service now listens for onhashchange events (if supported by browser) instead of constant polling. (commit 16086aa3)
• input widgets known listens on keydown events instead of keyup which improves perceived performance (commit 47c454a3)
• angular boots significantly sooner by listening for DOMContentLoaded event instead of window.load when supported by browser (commit c79aba92)
• new service $updateView which may be used in favor of $root.$eval() to run a complete eval on the entire document. This service bulks and throttles DOM updates to improve performance. (commit 47c454a3)

Docs

• Major improvements to the doc parser (commit 4f22d686)
• Docs now offline enabled (all dependencies are bundled in the tarball) (commit 4f5d5029)
• Added support for navigating the docs app with keyboard shortcuts (tab and ctrl+alt+s)

Bugfixes

• angular.Object.equals now properly handless comparing an object with a null (commit b0be87f6)
• Several issues were addressed in the $location service (commit 23875cb3)
• angular.filter.date now properly handles some corner-cases (issue #159 - fix contributed by Vojta)

Breaking changes

• API for accessing registered services — scope.$inject — was renamed to scope.$service. (commit b2631f61)

• Support for eager-published services was removed. This change was done to make explicit dependency declaration always required in order to allow making relatively expensive services lazily initialized (e.g. $cookie, $location), as well as remove 'magic' and reduce unnecessary scope namespace pollution. (commit 3ea5941f)

  Complete list of affected services:

  • $location
  • $route
  • $cookies
  • $window
  • $document
  • $exceptionHandler
  • $invalidWidgets

  To temporarily preserve the 'eager-published' status for these services, you may use ng:init (e.g. ng:init="$location = $service('$location'), ...) in the view or more correctly create a service like this:

  angular.service('published-svc-shim', function() {
    this.$location = this.$service('$location');
    this.$route = this.$service('$route');
    this.$cookies = this.$service('$cookies');
    this.$window = this.$service('$window');
    this.$document = this.$service('$document');
    this.$exceptionHandler = this.$service('$exceptionHandler');
    this.$invalidWidgets = this.$service('$invalidWidgets');
  }, {$eager: true});
  

• In the light of the eager-published change, to complete the cleanup we renamed $creation property of services to eager with its value being a boolean. To transition, please rename all $creation: 'eager' declarations to $eager: true. (commit 1430c6d6)

• angular.foreach was renamed to angular.forEach to make the api consistent. (commit 0a6cf70d)

• The toString method of the angular.service.$location service was removed. (commit 23875cb3)

0.9.8 astral-projection (2010-12-23)

Docs/Getting started

• angular-seed project to get you hacking on an angular apps quickly https://github.com/angular/angular-seed

Performance

• Delegate JSON parsing to native parser (JSON.parse) if available

Bug Fixes

• Ignore input widgets which have no name (issue #153)

0.9.7 sonic-scream (2010-12-10)

Bug Fixes

• $defer service should always call $eval on the root scope after a callback runs (issue #189)
• fix for failed assignments of form obj[0].name=value (issue #169)
• significant parser improvements that resulted in lower memory usage (commit 23fc73081f)

Docs

• small docs improvements (mainly docs for the $resource service)

Breaking changes

• Angular expressions in the view used to support regular expressions. This feature was rarely used and added unnecessary complexity. It not a good idea to have regexps in the view anyway, so we removed this support. If you had any regexp in your views, you will have to move them to your controllers. (commit e5e69d9b90)

0.9.6 night-vision (2010-12-06)

Security

• several improvements in the HTML sanitizer code to prevent code execution via hrefs and other attributes. Commits:
  • 41d5938883
  • 2bbced212e

Docs

• set up http://docs.angularjs.org domain, the docs for the latest release will from now on be deployed here.
• docs app UI polishing with dual scrolling and other improvements

Bug Fixes

• select widget now behaves correctly when it's option items are created via ng:repeat (issue #170)
• fix for async xhr cache issue #152 by adding $browser.defer and $defer service

Breaking Changes

• Fix for issue #152 might break some tests that were relying on the incorrect behavior. The breakage will usually affect code that tests resources, xhr or services/widgets build on top of these. All that is typically needed to resolve the issue is adding a call to $browser.defer.flush() in your test just before the point where you expect all cached resource/xhr requests to return any results. Please see 011fa39c2a for more info.
• The HTML sanitizer is slightly more strinct now. Please see info in the "Security" section above.

0.9.5 turkey-blast (2010-11-25)

Docs

• 99% of the content from the angular wiki is now in the docs

Api

• added angular.Array.limitTo to make it easy to select first or last few items of an array

0.9.4 total-recall (2010-11-18)

Docs

• searchable docs
• UI improvements
• we now have ~85% of the wiki docs migrated to ng docs
• some but not all docs were updated along the way

Api

• ng:include now supports onload attribute (commit cc749760)

Misc

• Better error handling - compilation exception now contain stack trace (commit b2d63ac4)

0.9.3 cold-resistance (2010-11-10)

Docs

• prettier docs app with syntax highlighting for examples, etc
• added documentation, examples and scenario tests for many more apis including:
  • all directives
  • all formatters
  • all validators
  • some widgets

Api

• date filter now accepts strings that angular.String.toDate can convert to Date objects
• angular.String.toDate supports ISO8061 formated strings with all time fractions being optional
• ng:repeat now exposes $position with values set to 'first', 'middle' or 'last'
• ng:switch now supports ng:switch-default as fallback switch option

Breaking changes

• we now support ISO 8601 extended format datetime strings (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ) as defined in EcmaScript 5 throughout angular. This means that the following apis switched from YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ to YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ (note the added millis) when representing dates:
  • angular.Date.toString
  • angular.String.fromDate
  • JSON serialization and deserialization (used by json filter, $xhr and $resource)
• removed SSN validator. It's unlikely that most people will need it and if they do, it can be added simple RegExp validator.

0.9.2 faunal-mimicry (2010-11-03)

Docs

• created documentation framework based on jsdoc syntax (commit 659af29a)
  • jsdoc parser
  • template generator
  • json generator
  • angular doc viewer app

Testability

Scenario Runner

• scenario runner is now compatible with IE8 (issue #93)
• scenarior runner checks if URL would return a non-success status code (issue #100)
• binding() DSL now accepts regular expressions

Misc

Breaking changes

Scenario Runner

Chores

• lots of fixes to get all tests pass on IE

• new built-in date format filter (issue #45)
• $location needs method you call on updates (issue #32)

Chores
