Originally we destroyed the oldValue by incrementaly copying over portions of the newValue into the oldValue during dirty-checking, this resulted in oldValue to be equal to newValue by the time we called the watchCollection listener. The fix creates a copy of the newValue each time a change is detected and then uses that copy *the next time* a change is detected. To make `$watchCollection` behave the same way as `$watch`, during the first iteration the listener is called with newValue and oldValue being identical. Since many of the corner-cases are already covered by existing tests, I refactored the test logging to include oldValue and made the tests more readable.

AngularJS 
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding. To help you structure your application better and make it easy to test, AngularJS teaches the browser how to do dependency injection and inversion of control. Oh yeah and it also helps with server-side communication, taming async callbacks with promises and deferreds; and makes client-side navigation and deeplinking with hashbang urls or HTML5 pushState a piece of cake. The best of all: it makes development fun!
