+## $compile rewrite
+
+The compiler was completely rewritten from scratch using ideas from this
+[design document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PNh4lxlYpSRK2RhEwD4paJLMwdcnddcYJn3rsDsdayc/edit).
+Please check out the [$compile] and
+[$compileProvider.directive](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive)
+docs. The biggest improvements and changes are listed below.
+
+- the compiler now transparently supports several directive syntaxes. For example while before there
+ was just one way to use `ng:include` directive: `<ng:include src="someSrc"></ng:include>`. The new
+ compiler treats all of the following as equivalent:
+
+ - `<ng:include src="someSrc"></ng:include>`
+ - `<ng-include src="someSrc"></ng-include>`
+ - `<x-ng-include src="someSrc"></x-ng-include>`
+ - `<div ng:include src="someSrc"></div>`
+ - `<div ng-include src="someSrc"></div>`
+ - `<div data-ng-include src="someSrc"></div>`
+ - `<div ng:include="someSrc"></div>`
+ - `<div ng-include="someSrc"></div>`
+ - `<div data-ng-include="someSrc"></div>`
+ - `<div class="ng-include: someSrc"></div>`
+
+ This will give template creators great flexibility to consider the tradeoffs between html code
+ validity and code conciseness and pick the syntax that works the best for them.
+
+- we are switching all of our code/docs/examples to use `ng-foo` directive name style instead of
+ `ng:foo`. The new compiler doesn't distinguish between these and other name styles (all of them
+ are [equally supported](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive)),
+ the main difference is that `ng-foo` is easier to select with css selectors. Check out the
+ [Internet Explorer Compatibility](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/guide/ie.ngdoc)
+ doc to learn about various IE-related requirements for different directive naming styles.
+
+- `angular.directive`, `angular.widget`, `angular.attrWidget` were merged into a single concept: a
+ `directive` which is registered via
+ [myModule.directive](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.Module#directive) or
+ [$compileProvider.directive](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive).
+ You can control execution priority of multiple directives on the same element (previously the main
+ difference between a attribute widget and a directive) via a directive priority setting.
+
+- previously the linking functions of directives were called top to bottom following the DOM tree,
+ to enable a linking fn to work child DOM nodes that were already processed by child linking fns
+ the order was changed as follows: compile functions run top to bottom following the DOM tree, but
+ linking functions run bottom-up following the DOM tree. In some rare cases it is desirable for
+ linking fns to be called top to bottom and for these it is possible to register "prelinking"
+ functions (check out
+ [the docs](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive)
+ for the return value of the compile function).
+
+- `angular.markup` and `angular.attrMarkup` were replaced with interpolation via `$interpolate`
+ service.
+
+ - In the past `{{foo}}` markup was getting translated to `<span ng-bind="foo"></span>` during the
+ early stage of template compilation. Addition of this extra node was in some cases undesirable
+ and caused problems. The new compiler with the help of the $interpolate service removes the need
+ for these artificial nodes.
+
+ - As a side-effect of not using artificial nodes available for all bindings, the `html` filter
+ which used to innerHTML (sanitized) html into the artificial node was converted into a directive.
+ So instead of `{{ someRawHtml | html }}` use `<div ng-bind-html="someRawHtml"></div>` and
+ instead of `{{ someRawHtml | html:"unsafe" }}` use `<div ng-bind-html-unsafe="someRawHtml"></div>`.
+ Please check out the
+ [ng-bind-html](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive.ng-bind-html)
+ and
+ [ng-bind-html-unsafe](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive.ng-bind-html-unsafe)
+ directive docs.
+
+ - Custom markup has been used by developers only to switch from `{{ }}` markup to `(( ))` or
+ something similar in order to avoid conflicts with server-side templating libraries. We made it
+ easier to do this kind of customization by making the start and end symbol of the interpolation
+ configurable via [$interpolateProvider](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$interpolateProvider).
+
+- [template loader](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive.script)
+ loads template fragments from script elements and populates the $templateCache with them. Templates
+ loaded in this way can be then used with `ng-include`, `ng-view` as well as directive templates
+ (see the `templateUrl` property of the
+ [directive config object](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive)).
+
+
+## Forms / input controls / two-way data binding
+
+The implementation of forms and input bindings was modified to address issues around composability,
+ease of adding custom validation and formatting. Please check out the
+[forms dev guide article](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/guide/dev_guide.forms) to learn about forms,
+form control bindings and input validation. The biggest changes are listed below.
+
+- any directive can add formatter/parser (validators, convertors) to an input type. This allows
+ better composability of input types with custom validators and formatters. So instead of creating
+ new custom input type for everything, it's now possible to take existing input type and add an
+ additional formatter and/or validator to it via a custom directive.
+
+- inputs propagates changes only on the blur event by default (use new `ng-model-instant` directive
+ if you want to propagate changes on each keystroke).
+
+- no more custom input types, use directives to customize existing types.
+
+- removed $formFactory.
+
+- removed parallel scope hierarchy (forms, widgets).
+
+- removed `list` input type (use `ng-list` directive instead).
+
+- removed integer input type.
+
+
+## Controller-scope separation
+
+Controllers are now standalone objects, created using the "new" operator, and not mixed with scope
+object anymore. This addresses many issues including:
+[#321](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/321) and
+[#425](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/425).
+
+The [design doc](https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1SsgVj17ec6tnZEX3ugsvg0rVVR11wTso5Md-RdEmC0k)
+explains the reasoning for this major change and how it solves many issues.
+
+### Before:
+
+<pre>
+function MyCtrl() {
+ var self = this;
+
+ this.model = 'some model of any type';
+
+ this.fnUsedFromTemplate = function() {
+ someApiThatTakesCallback(function callbackFn() {
+ self.model = 'updatedModel';
+ });
+ };
+}
+</pre>
+
+### After:
+
+<pre>
+function MyCtrl($scope) {
+ $scope.mode = 'some model of any type';
+
+ $scope.fnUsedFromTemplate = function() {
+ someApiThatTakesCallback(function() {
+ $scope.model = 'updatedModel';
+ });
+ }
+}
+</pre>
+
+Temporary backwards compatibility: Load the following module in your app to recreate the previous
+behavior and migrate your controllers one at a time: <https://gist.github.com/1649788>
+
+
+## $route service changes
+
+- As advertised in the past we moved the $route configuration from the run phase of the application
+ to the config phase. This means that instead of defining routes via `$route.when`/`$route.otherwise`
+ you should use `$routeProvider.when`/`$routeProvider.otherwise` instead.
+
+- route scope is now being created by the `ng-view` rather than by `$route`, this resolved many
+ issues we've previously faced. For more info, read the
+ [commit message](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/60743fc52aea9eabee58258a31f4ba465013cb4e).
+
+- removed `$route.parent()` - it's unnecessary because the scope is properly created in the scope
+ hierarchy by `ng-view`.
+
+- new `$viewContentLoaded` and `$includeContentLoaded` events which directives can use to be
+ notified when a template content is (re)loaded.
+
+- `ng-view` now has `onload` attribute which behaves similarly to the one on `ng-include`.
+
+
+## Directives
+
+- `ng-model` binding on select[multiple] element should support binding to an array
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/85b2084f578652cc0dcba46c689683fc550554fe))
+- event object is now accessible as `$event` in `ng-click` and other directives
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/1752c8c44a7058e974ef208e583683eac8817789),
+ issue [#259](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/259)
+- `ng-class` directive now support map of classnames and conditions
+ e.g. `<div ng-class="{'hide': !visible, 'warning': isAlert()}"...` (contributed by Kai Groner)
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/56bcc04c54ed24c19204f68de52b8c30c00e08f0))
+
+
+## Scope changes
+
+- `scope.$emit`/`$broadcast` return the event object, add cancelled property
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/6e635012fb30905e5fe659a024864e275f1c14b5))
+
+- `scope.$new()` takes one argument - a boolean indicating if the newly-created child scope should be
+ isolated (not prototypically inheriting from the current scope). Previously the first argument was
+ reference to the controller constructor, but because of the scope/controller separation the
+ controllers should be instantiated via the `$controller` service.
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/78656fe0dfc99c341ce02d71e7006e9c05b1fe3f))
+
+- fn signature change for change listener functions registered via `scope.$watch` - this means that
+ the scope object can be listed in the arguments list only if its needed and skipped otherwise.
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/0196411dbe179afe24f4faa6d6503ff3f69472da))
+
+ - before: `scope.$watch('someModel', function(scope, newVal, oldVal) {})`
+ - after: `scope.$watch('someModel', function(newVal, oldVal, scope) {})`
+
+- `scope.$watch` now compares object by reference and only if extra boolean flag is passed
+ comparison by equality is used. This was done to avoid unintended performance issues.
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/d6e3e1baabc3acc930e4fda387b62cbd03e64577))
+
+ - before: `scope.$watch('expression', function(scope, newVal, oldVal) {})`
+ - after: `scope.$watch('expression', function(newVal, oldVal, scope) {}, true)`
+
+
+## New directives:
+
+- [ng-mouseleave](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive.ng-mouseleave)
+- [ng-mousemove](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive.ng-mousemove)

+- [ng-model-instant](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive.ng-model-instant)
+
+
+## $injector / modules
+
+- `$injector.instantiate` should return the object returned from constructor if one was returned
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/776739299b698a965ef818eeda75d4eddd10c491))
+- `$injector.instantiate` should support array annotations for Type argument (e.g. instantiate(['dep1', 'dep2', Type]))
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/eb92735c9ea3e5ddc747b66d8e895b6187a5f9e0))
+- quickly fail if circular dependencies are detected during instantiation
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/fbcb7fdd141c277d326dc3ed34545210c4d5628f))
+- added [$provide.constant](http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.AUTO.$provide#constant)
+ to enable registration of constants that are available in both the config and run phase
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/80edcadb1dd418dcf5adf85704c6693940c8bb28))
+- `$provide.service` was renamed to $provide.provider
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/00d4427388eeec81d434f9ee96bb7ccc70190923))
+- `$provide.service` takes a constructor fn and creates a service instance by using $injector.instantiate
+
+

+- added `wrap()` ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/4a051efb89cf33e30d56f1227d1f6084ead4cd42))
+- fix memory leaking in IE8 (remove monkey patched methods on Event)
+ ([commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/3173d8603db4ae1c2373e13a7a490988126bb1e7),
+ [commit](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/230f29d0a78a04a6963514da8b1e34cc03e553d0))
