Simply use hashbang #! in the href:

Due to aa077e8, the default hash-prefix used for $location hash-bang URLs has changed from the empty string ('') to the bang ('!').

If you actually want to have no hash-prefix, then you can restore the previous behavior by adding a configuration block to your application:

appModule.config(['$locationProvider', function($locationProvider) {
  $locationProvider.hashPrefix('');
}]);

For more information, see

• AngularJS GitHub Pull #14202 Changed default hashPrefix to '!'
• AngularJS Guide - Migration - aa0077e8

Sorry to get on my high horse but... How did this get released? This is massive, breaking bug. — @MiloTheGreat

The breaking change as by #14202 should be reverted as the reference specification was already officially deprecated #15715

I'm going to close this issue because we haven't got any feedback. Feel free to reopen this issue if you can provide new feedback.
