Migration to Angular 1.3

[Toub]

Angular 1.3 has just been released.

Would be nice to migrate!

ngMessage can be used to now show the validation errors on forms (login, signup)

I agree, 1.3 has lots of improvements that I personally have been tracking for a while now. Anyone else here reviewed it against their builds yet? I haven't noticed many breaking changes that would affect the project but I certainly haven't tested extensively.

[eikaramba]

currently i'm using ALL packages for npm at their latest version available and fullstack works perfectly. My plan was next to upgrade angular to 1.3 and see in how far it immediately works

[DaftMonk]

👍 Agreed, definitely want to upgrade this asap.

There should be an AngularJS version option (like all the others).

[eikaramba]

that makes it very very difficult at least in some places i believe. imho a fork would be more appropiate and easier to maintain

I had a related issue (#693). Is the generator for AngularJS 1.2 only? If so, why does it pull in 1.3 components?

[Toub]

The IE8 support drop is not a big deal as it does not mean that it will be broken, just that it won't be officially supported.
Instead of restrict generator-angular-fullstack to angular 1.2 (and create a fork for 1.3 and later) I would create a IE8 branch (to allow people to fork it) and go further to angular 1.3 now!

@Toub I think that would be the best option.
