AngularJS 1.3 and IE8

So I know that AngularJS dropped support for IE8. I'd like to learn, whether this means that they won't simply test in IE8, or did they introduce some features that simply break in IE8.

Did anyone actually succeeded in setting up Angular 1.3+ application on IE8? What kind of approaches/shims are needed (modernir, es5-shims, respond.js, others?)

I have Angular 1.3 working with IE8.

It requires jQuery, a couple of shims and one source code change to Angular. I'm maintaining builds of Angular with a lot of the shims baked in and instructions on what else to include here: https://github.com/fergaldoyle/angular.js-ie8-builds

I can't get the unit tests running properly with IE8 so can't confirm 100% compatibility, but using a broad smoke test I can confirm every feature I've ever used with Angular works fine in IE8 + 1.3
