REMOVED: Auto-detecting paths outside of a <!-- bower --> block.
Previously, if your source file included a reference to one of your Bower dependencies outside of your <!-- bower --> block, wiredep wouldn't inject it inside of the block. This was originally done to support using Modernizr.js in the <head> section of your HTML file without it being re-injected in the <body>. Not only is this no longer Modernizr's recommended practice, but we have since added the exclude option in wiredep's configuration that would allow you to duplicate this behavior without any magic.
REMOVED: Elite dependencies.
Previously, wiredep kept a list of packages that were known to be required before any other scripts. This included jQuery, es5-shim, etc. This was originally done in the very early days of Bower, as packages weren't properly listing their dependencies (if they even had a bower.json at all!). Things have come a long way since then, and this should no longer be required. If you are using packages that don't list their dependencies properly, offer them a PR with the correction.
ADDED: Support for packages that don't have a main.
Previously, if one of your dependencies didn't have a main file, wiredep wouldn't go through its dependencies to inject their mains. We've since found out this is a common practice for some Polymer packages, and also just makes more sense, so now it doesn't matter if the root component doesn't have a main. wiredep will continue going through its dependencies.
