The conclusion table incorrectly states that services can not create functions.
New table row added to separate "can create functions" and "can create primitives".
The trick with setting `<base href=".">` has not worked since Angular 1.2.0.
It is also misleading that it talks about `$routeProvider.otherwise`
which is not important in this case.

BREAKING CHANGE (since 1.2.0 and 1.3.0-beta.1):
Angular now requires a `<base>` tag when html5 mode of `$location` is enabled. Reasoning:
Using html5 mode without a `<base href="...">` tag makes relative links for images, links, ...
relative to the current url if the browser supports
the history API. However, if the browser does not support the history API Angular falls back to using the `#`,
and then all those relative links would be broken.
The `<base>` tag is also needed when a deep url is loaded from the server, e.g. `http://server/some/page/url`.
In that case, Angular needs to decide which part of the url is the base of the application, and which part
is path inside of the application.
To summarize: Now all relative links are always relative to the `<base>` tag.
Exception (also a breaking change):
Link tags whose `href` attribute starts with a `#` will only change the hash of the url, but nothing else
(e.g. `<a href="#someAnchor">`). This is to make it easy to scroll to anchors inside a document.

BREAKING CHANGE (since 1.2.17 and 1.3.0-beta.10):
In html5 mode without a `<base>` tag on older browser that don't support the history API
relative paths were adding up. E.g. clicking on `<a href="page1">` and then on `<a href="page2">`
would produce `$location.path()==='/page1/page2'. The code that introduced this behavior was removed
and Angular now also requires a `<base>` tag to be present when using html5 mode.

The $$testability service is a collection of methods for use when debugging
or by automated testing tools. It is available globally through the function
`angular.getTestability`.

11f5aeeee9 changed the compiler to use 'EA' as a 'restrict'
value if not specified in the directive object, and the directive guide needed some slight
changes to address this.
Closes#8769
Helpful for people new to Angular to see the ng-app declaration in context with the expression
example. This will help illustrate the "Important thing to notice" point which follows: "The
reference to myApp module in <html ng-app="myApp">. This is what bootstraps the app using your
module."
Closes#8673
allOrNothing interpolation is now used for ng-attr-*, under all circumstances. This prevents
uninitialized attributes from being added to the DOM with invalid values which cause errors
to be shown.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Now, ng-attr-* will never add the attribute to the DOM if any of the interpolated expressions
evaluate to `undefined`.
To work around this, initialize values which are intended to be the empty string with the
empty string:
For example, given the following markup:
<div ng-attr-style="border-radius: {{value}}{{units}}"></div>
If $scope.value is `4`, and $scope.units is undefined, the resulting markup is unchanged:
<div ng-attr-style="border-radius: {{value}}{{units}}"></div>
However, if $scope.units is `""`, then the resulting markup is updated:
<div ng-attr-style="border-radius: {{value}}{{units}}" style="border-radius: 4"></div>

angular/protractor@fcd973b#diff-f3b56000093113bd3bfb6c9c05e7e945 splits the overview doc into
multiple files, and removes overview.md from the repository entirely, making the current link a 404.
This CL points the link to the new getting-started document rather than the overview, and avoids
linking to a missing document.
Closes#8595
The "A first example: Data binding" section it implies that the `required` directive is
doing something, but it isn't.
I just removed the parts the refer to the required directive to avoid confusion.
Highlighted the Best Practices section, and took the styling from the Services doc.
Also removed some superfluous wording that was in the "Provider Recipe"
When accessing the docs from https, the "Accessing the backend example fails
because it contains a hard coded protocol. By making the URL protocol relative,
the example should work over http and https.
Remove support for bootstrap detection using:
* The element id
* The element class.
E.g.
```
<div id="ng-app">...</div>
<div class="ng-app: module">...</div>
```
Removes reference to how to bootstrap using IE7
BREAKING CHANGE:
If using any of the mechanisms specified above, then migrate by
specifying the attribute `ng-app` to the root element. E.g.
```
<div ng-app="module">...</div>
```
Closes#8147
BEAKING CHANGE:
Lazy-binding now happens on the scope watcher level.
What this means is that given `parseFn = $parse('::foo')`,
bind-once will only kick in when `parseFn` is being watched by a scope
(i.e. `scope.$watch(parseFn)`)
Bind-once will have no effect when directily invoking `parseFn` (i.e. `parseFn()`)
ng-annotate is an independent alternative to ngmin that is non-invasive
and more performant. For the background around the switch, see the discussion

If it is not recommended to use a global function to create controllers,
why should it be shown as possible in the documentation?
One of the most common complaints about AngularJS is that it doesn't enforce
any convention. This is intentional and I generally like this.
However if we can avoid outright bad implementations in examples I believe
we should.
Closes#8011
