## Performance Improvements

- **ngAnimate:** speed up `areAnimationsAllowed` check
  ([2d3303dd](angular/angular.js@2d3303d))

## Breaking Changes

While we do not deem the following to be a real breaking change we are highlighting it here in the
changelog to ensure that it does not surprise anyone.

- **$resource:** due to [47486524](angular/angular.js@4748652),

**Possible breaking change** for users who updated their code to provide a `timeout`
promise for a `$resource` request in version v1.4.8.

Up to v1.4.7 (included), using a promise as a timeout in `$resource`, would silently
fail (i.e. have no effect).

In v1.4.8, using a promise as timeout would have the (buggy) behaviour described
in angular/angular.js#12657 (comment).
(I.e. it will work as expected for the first time you resolve the promise and will
cancel all subsequent requests after that - one has to re-create the resource
class. This was not documented.)

With this change, using a promise as timeout in v1.4.9 onwards is not allowed.
It will log a warning and ignore the timeout value.

If you need support for cancellable `$resource` actions, you should upgrade to
version 1.5 or higher.
