chore(ngdoc): wrap all pages inside of a container tag for easy styling
fix($compile): always instantiate controllers before pre-link fns run

Controllers should be always instantiated after compile fn runs, but before
pre-link fn runs. This way, controllers are available to pre-link fns that
request them.

Previously this was broken for async directives (directives with templateUrl).

fix(angular.copy): change angular.copy to correcly clone RegExp

angular.copy previously copied RegExp as an empty object. Change detects
RegExp instance and clones into new RegExp. This change is based on a previous
fix to allow Date to be copied.

`expect` methods can receive an Object as the data parameter, which was
undocumented.

docs($compile): update directive type signature

To avoid "Argument type Array is not assignable to parameter type function" validation error  When using the minifcation-safe array style

(eg .directive('myDirective', ['$http','$timeout','$compile', function($http,$timeout $compile).... )

chore(bower): add a .bowerrc file
fix($parse): unwrap promise when setting a field

This fixes an inconsistency where you can't call the setter function
when the expression resolves to a top level field name on a promise.

Setting a field on an unresolved promise will throw an exception.  (This
shouldn't really happen in your template/js code and points to a
programming error.)

Closes #1827
fix($q): call `reject()` even if `$exceptionHandler` rethrows

Normally $exceptionHandler doesn't throw an exception.  It is normally
used just for logging and so on.  But if an application developer
implemented a version that did throw an exception then $q would never
have called reject() when converting an exception thrown inside a `then`
handler into a rejected promise.

fix(grunt): change css wrapping to prepend styles to the top of the head tag

angular.css is used by the utils.js CSS wrap operation, but ng-hide or
any other CSS styles present in angular.css cannot be overridden unless
the styles appear before the stylesheet is in place. This fix allows
for this to work
fix($compile): don't check attr.specified on non-ie7

the specified attribute is depricated and creates warnings in Firefox

docs(guide): remove superfluous });
docs(directive): Clarified and cleaned up directive guide

- corrected terminology about how directives use `require`
- added more variations to the DirectiveDefinitionObject
- removed some slightly superfluous text

docs(directive): Minor correction to example to avoid bad practice

Anchor tags should use `ng-href` instead of `href` for interpolation.

DDO = Directive Definition Object

fix(equals): {} and [] should not be considered equivalent

angular.equals was returning inconsistent values for the comparison between
{} and []:

    angular.equals({}, []) // true
    angular.equals([], {}]) // false

Since these object are not of the same type, they should not be considered
equivalent.
fix(dump): Prevented window.dump from being overridden by karma-jasmine.

In commit 6820322db562382fac903be35831275948825317 of Karma-Jasmine, the
dependency on angular.dump was removed. This caused two undesirable side
effects in the angular.js project. 1) Tests for presence of mock dump were failing,
and 2) the default window.dump was not outputting valuable angular-aware info. This
simple fix adds window.dump in testabilityPatch, to preprocess dumped input prior
to passing it to the global dump method.
