With this change, expressions like "firstName + ' ' + lastName | uppercase"
will be analyzed and only the inputs for the expression will be watched
(in this case "firstName" and "lastName"). Only when at least one of the inputs
change, the expression will be evaluated.
This change speeds up simple expressions like `firstName | noop` by ~15%
and more complex expressions like `startDate | date` by ~2500%.
BREAKING CHANGE: all filters are assumed to be stateless functions
Previously it was a good practice to make all filters stateless, but now
it's a requirement in order for the model change-observation to pick up
all changes.
If an existing filter is statefull, it can be flagged as such but keep in
mind that this will result in a significant performance-penalty (or rather
lost opportunity to benefit from a major perf improvement) that will
affect the $digest duration.
To flag a filter as stateful do the following:
myApp.filter('myFilter', function() {
function myFilter(input) { ... };
myFilter.$stateful = true;
return myFilter;
});

AngularJS 
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding. To help you structure your application better and make it easy to test, AngularJS teaches the browser how to do dependency injection and inversion of control. Oh yeah and it also helps with server-side communication, taming async callbacks with promises and deferreds; and makes client-side navigation and deeplinking with hashbang urls or HTML5 pushState a piece of cake. The best of all: it makes development fun!
