perf(jqLite): implement and use the `empty` method in place of `html(‘’)`

2013-12-13T10:07:11+00:00

jQuery's elem.html('') is way slower than elem.empty(). As clearing
element contents happens quite often in certain scenarios, switching
to using .empty() provides a significant performance boost when using
Angular with jQuery.

Closes #4457

perf(a): do not link when href or name exists in template

2013-12-13T08:31:25+00:00

Change the a directive to link and hookup a click event only when
there is no href or name in the template element.
In a large Google app, this results in about 800 fewer registrations,
saving a small but measurable amount of time and memory.

Closes #5362

perf($resource): use shallow copy instead of angular.copy

2013-12-13T08:24:37+00:00

Replace calls to angular.copy with calls to a new function, shallowClearAndCopy.
Add calls to copy for cache access in $http in order to prevent modification of cached data.
Results in a measurable improvement to the startup time of complex apps within Google.

Closes #5300

perf: use call and === instead of apply and == in type check functions

2013-12-13T08:22:47+00:00

Updates isDate et al to use call instead of apply and === instead of ==.
The change to call brings minor performance improvement and === is just
better practice than ==.

fix(ngInclude): Add template to DOM before linking other directives

2013-12-13T01:18:44+00:00

The template needs to be added to the DOM before

fix(ngView): Add template to DOM before linking other directives

2013-12-13T01:18:44+00:00

The template needs to be added to the DOM before
other directives at the same element as `ngView` are linked.

Related to #5247.

fix($compile): Allow literals in isolate scope references

2013-12-13T00:30:31+00:00

When a component uses an isolate scope reference
and the the component is used with an object literal
a new object is created on every evaluation.
Therefore the compiler needs to compare
the values of the parent and the isolate scope
using object equality and not object reference
equality.

Fixes #5296.

docs(ngSwitch): clarify that ngSwitch matches against string literals

2013-12-12T11:42:49+00:00
