Nested views need to be accessed differently than in v0.4.2

[marcbachmann]

This is a: Bug report
My version of UI-Router is: 1.0.0-rc.1

Bug Report

Current Behavior:

Nested ui-views need to be targeted using dot notation.

e.g.

<div ui-view="toolbar">
  <div ui-view="left"></div>
  <div ui-view="right"></div>
</div>

The view with the name left is only accessible by using {views: {'toolbar.left': 'ComponentName'}}. Please see referenced plunker for a working example.

Expected Behavior:

In earlier ui-router versions the views were accessible without using the prefixed parent view.
The behavior definitely changed from v0.4.2 to v1.0.0.
I don't know whether this was an intended change, but it's something that needs documentation.

Looks like this was already reported in #3355
Apparently it's planned to have a fix in rc2
