Now, `ng-attr-*` will never add the attribute to the DOM if any of the interpolated expressions

evaluate to `undefined`.

To work around this, initialize values which are intended to be the empty string with the

empty string:

For example, given the following markup:

<div ng-attr-style="border-radius: {{value}}{{units}}"></div>

If `$scope.value` is `4`, and `$scope.units` is `undefined`, the resulting markup is unchanged:

<div ng-attr-style="border-radius: {{value}}{{units}}"></div>

However, if $scope.units is `""`, then the resulting markup is updated:

<div ng-attr-style="border-radius: {{value}}{{units}}" style="border-radius: 4"></div>

Closes #8376

Closes #8399

- due to [0d608d04](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/0d608d041f37a659d8d8ba7a9b688e132587035d),

element-transcluded directives now have an extra comment automatically appended to their cloned DOM

This comment is usually needed to keep track the end boundary in the event child directives modify the root node(s).

If not used for this purpose it can be safely ignored.

- due to [75c4cbf8](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/75c4cbf81fcd6d49656d3cb044e59e5fd24e0479),

`directive.type` was renamed to `directive.templateNamespace`

This change is breaking only within 1.3.0-beta releases: `directive.type` was renamed to `directive.templateNamespace`

The property name `type` was too general.

- **$parse:** due to [8863b9d0](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/8863b9d04c722b278fa93c5d66ad1e578ad6eb1f),

`this` in filters is now undefined and no longer the scope

It's a bad practice for filters to have hidden dependencies, so pulling stuff from scope directly

is not a good idea. Scope being the filter context was never documented as public API, so we don't

expect that any significant code depends on this behavior.

If an existing filter has a dependency on the scope instance, the scope reference can

be passed into the filter as a filter argument (this is highly discouraged for new code):

Before: `{{ user.name | customFilter }}`

After: `{{ user.name | customFilter:this }}`

- **Scope:** due to [0554c1aa](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/0554c1aae49a81691154a77e70b602b0f24dca81),

`deregisterNotifier` callback for `$watch` is no longer available

This API was available only in the last few 1.3 beta versions and is not

very useful for applications, so we don't expect that anyone will be affected

by this change.

- **input:** due to [a7fb357f](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/a7fb357fa122e0a056ce1de838a2dfaf1ebc2953),

by default, do not trim `input[type=password]` values.

Previously, `input[type=password]` would trim values by default, and would require an explicit `ng-trim="false"`

to disable the trimming behaviour. After this change, `ng-trim` no longer affects `input[type=password]`, and will

never trim the password value.
