+## Features
+
+- **$compile:** explicitly request multi-element directive behaviour
+  ([e8066c4b](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/e8066c4b4ce11496b0d8f39e41b4d753048bca2d),

+
+
+## Performance Improvements
+
+- **$compile:** only create jqLite object when necessary
+  ([a160f76f](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/a160f76ffa9544cd2ed99f24ba65b5994108f9f5))
+- **bindOnce** more performant interpolation and lazy one-time binding
+  ([86d55c1d](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/86d55c1ded21a5be6091344493d70c6dc4194e43))
+- **jqLite:** expose the low-level jqLite.data/removeData calls
+  ([e4ba8943](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/e4ba89436aa0b96f126ce2c23d0c7f7c785573fe))
+- **ngBindHtml:** move addClass to the compile phase
+  ([903e7352](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/903e7352c9943e4d3757dd1cff58178d4c5375d6),
+   [#8261](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/8261))
+
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+- **$compile:** due to [e8066c4b](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/e8066c4b4ce11496b0d8f39e41b4d753048bca2d),
+  Directives which previously depended on the implicit grouping between
+directive-start and directive-end attributes must be refactored in order to see this same behaviour.
+
+Before:
+
+```html
+<div data-fancy-directive-start>{{start}}</div>
+  <p>Grouped content</p>
+<div data-fancy-directive-end>{{end}}</div>
+```
+```javascript
+.directive('fancyDirective', function() {
+  return {
+    link: angular.noop
+  };
+})
+```
+
+After:
+
+```html
+<div data-fancy-directive-start>{{start}}</div>
+  <p>Grouped content</p>
+<div data-fancy-directive-end>{{end}}</div>
+```
+```javascript
+.directive('fancyDirective', function() {
+  return {
+    multiElement: true, // Explicitly mark as a multi-element directive.
+    link: angular.noop
+  };
+})
+```
+
+Closes #5372
+Closes #6574
+Closes #5370
+Closes #8044
+Closes #7336
+
+- **$rootScope:** due to [02c0ed27](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/02c0ed27bc375d5352fefdd7e34aad9758621283),
+
+
+Previously, it was possible for an action passed to $watch
+to be a string, interpreted as an angular expresison. This is no longer supported.
+The action now has to be a function.
+Passing an action to $watch is still optional.
+
+Before:
+
+```javascript
+$scope.$watch('state', ' name="" ');
+```
+
+After:
+
+```javascript
+$scope.$watch('state', function () {
+  $scope.name = "";
+});
+```
+
+Closes #8190
+
+- **bootstrap:** due to [666a3835](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/666a3835d231b3f77f907276be18b3c0086e5d12),
+
+
+If using any of the mechanisms specified above, then migrate by
+specifying the attribute `ng-app` to the root element. E.g.
+
+```html
+<div ng-app="module">...</div>
+```
+
+Closes #8147
+
+- **ngList:** due to [c6c9d26e](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/c6c9d26e3487ce24ece390c26994123964f805b0),
+
+
+The `ngList` directive no longer supports splitting the view value
+via a regular expression. We need to be able to re-join list items back
+together and doing this when you can split with regular expressions can
+lead to inconsistent behaviour and would be much more complex to support.
+
+If your application relies upon ngList splitting with a regular expression
+then you should either try to convert the separator to a simple string or
+you can implement your own version of this directive for you application.
+
+Closes #4008
+Closes #2561
+Closes #4344
+
+- **ngSwitch:** due to [4f32e3ee](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/4f32e3eef152bcaab7f7ab151fc824e71a591473),
+
+** Directive Priority Changed ** - this commit changes the priority
+of `ngSwitchWhen` and `ngSwitchDefault` from `800` to `1200`. This makes their
+priority higher than `ngRepeat`, which allows items to be repeated on
+the switch case element reliably.
+
+In general your directives should have a lower priority than these directives
+if you want them to exist inside the case elements. If you relied on the
+priority of these directives then you should check that your code still
+operates correctly.
