The data jQuery method was re-implemented in 2.0 in a secure way. This made
current hacky Angular solution to move data between elements via changing the
value of the internal node[jQuery.expando] stop working. Instead, just copy the
data from the first element to the other one.
Testing cache leaks on jQuery 2.x is not possible in the same way as it's done
in jqLite or in jQuery 1.x as there is no publicly exposed data storage. One
way to test it would be to intercept all places where a jQuery object is created
to save a reference to the underlaying node but there is no single place in the
jQuery code through which all element creation passes (there are various
shortcuts for performance reasons). Instead we rely on jqLite.cache testing
to find potential data leaks.
BREAKING CHANGE: Angular no longer supports jQuery versions below 2.1.1.
we now have two types of namespaces:
- true namespace: angular.* - used for all global apis
- virtual namespace: ng.*, ngMock.*, ... - used for all DI modules
the virual namespaces have services under the second namespace level (e.g. ng.)
and filters and directives prefixed with filter: and directive: respectively
(e.g. ng.filter:orderBy, ng.directive:ngRepeat)
this simplifies urls and makes them a lot shorter while still avoiding name collisions
