  💥 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.
