    💥 Breaking Changes

    • $compile: due to 31f190d4, the order of postLink fn is now mirror opposite of the order in which corresponding preLinking and compile functions execute.

    Previously the compile/link fns executed in this order controlled via priority:

    • CompilePriorityHigh, CompilePriorityMedium, CompilePriorityLow
    • compile child nodes
    • PreLinkPriorityHigh, PreLinkPriorityMedium, PreLinkPriorityLow
    • link child nodes
    • PostLinkPriorityHigh, PostLinkPriorityMedium, PostLinkPriorityLow

    This was changed to:

    • CompilePriorityHigh, CompilePriorityMedium, CompilePriorityLow
    • compile child nodes
    • PreLinkPriorityHigh, PreLinkPriorityMedium, PreLinkPriorityLow
    • link child nodes
    • PostLinkPriorityLow, PostLinkPriorityMedium , PostLinkPriorityHigh

    Very few directives in practice rely on order of postLinking function (unlike on the order of compile functions), so in the rare case of this change affecting an existing directive, it might be necessary to convert it to a preLinking function or give it negative priority (look at the diff of this commit to see how an internal attribute interpolation directive was adjusted).

    • 📜 $parse:

      • due to 5dc35b52, $parse and templates in general will no longer automatically unwrap promises. This feature has been deprecated and if absolutely needed, it can be reenabled during transitional period via $parseProvider.unwrapPromises(true) api.
      • due to b6a37d11, feature added in rc.2 that unwraps return values from functions if the values are promises (if promise unwrapping is enabled - see previous point), was reverted due to breaking a popular usage pattern.

    • directives: due to b7af76b4, the priority of ngRepeat, ngSwitchWhen, ngIf, ngInclude and ngView has changed. This could affect directives that explicitly specify their priority.

    In order to make ngRepeat, ngSwitchWhen, ngIf, ngInclude and ngView work together in all common scenarios their directives are being adjusted to achieve the following precedence:

      Directive        | Old Priority | New Priority
  =============================================
  ngRepeat         | 1000         | 1000
  ---------------------------------------------
  ngSwitchWhen     | 500          | 800
  ---------------------------------------------
  ngIf             | 1000         | 600
  ---------------------------------------------
  ngInclude/ngView | 1000         | 400
    • form/ngForm due to 7a586e5c, Inputs with name equal to "hasOwnProperty" are not allowed inside form or ngForm directives.

    Before, inputs whose name was "hasOwnProperty" were quietly ignored and not added to the scope. Now a badname exception is thrown.

    Using "hasOwnProperty" for an input name would be very unusual and bad practice.

    Either do not include such an input in a form or ngForm directive or change the name of the input.

    • ngScenario: due to 28f56a38, browserTrigger now uses an eventData object instead of direct parameters for mouse events. To migrate, place the keys,x and y parameters inside of an object and place that as the third parameter for the browserTrigger function.
