- **angular-mocks:** due to [f69dc162](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/f69dc16241c8b631123ad0b09674f0a5e0ff32fe),

some tests that rely on identity comparison rather than equality comparison in checking mock http responses will be broken,

since now each mock response is a copy of the original response. This is usually fixable by changing a `.toBe()` comparison

to `toEqual()` inside of tests.
