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

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
other directives at the same element as `ngInclude` are linked.

Fixes #5247.

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.

fix(angular-mocks): use copy of mock data in $httpBackend

2013-12-11T23:18:45+00:00

Copy mock data returned from the mock $httpBackend.
This prevents modifications to the response from affecting future responses.
Previously, this misbehavior was being mitigated by the deep copy in $resource, but that no longer exists.

fix($compile): update cloned elements if the template arrives after the cloning

2013-12-06T06:16:25+00:00

If an element has a directive whose content is loaded using `templateUrl`,
and the element is cloned using a linking function before the template arrives,
the clone needs to be updated as well.

This also updates `ngIf` and `ngRepeat` to keep the connection to the clone
of a tranclude function, so that they know about the changes a directive with
`templateUrl` does to the element in the future.

Fixes to #4930.

fix(isElement): return boolean value rather than `truthy` value.

2013-12-06T01:14:05+00:00

angular.isElement currently returns a truthy object/function, or false. This
patch aims to correct this behaviour by casting the result of the isElement
expression to a boolean value via double-negation.

Closes #4519
Closes #4534

chore(Scope): short-circuit after dirty-checking last dirty watcher

2013-12-05T23:37:37+00:00

Stop dirty-checking during $digest after the last dirty watcher has been re-checked.

This prevents unneeded re-checking of the remaining watchers (They were already
checked in the previous iteration), bringing a substantial performance improvement
to the average case run time of $digest.

Closes #5272
Closes #5287

fix($animate): ensure animations work with directives that share a transclusion

2013-12-05T15:54:19+00:00

Closes #4716
Closes #4871
Closes #5021
