Why Bower always downloads angular version of v 1.5.9-build.5086+sha...?
<p>I am using bower.json to manage my front end dependencies.. no matter however i specify the version of angular in bower i end up getting different version of angular library... Many of the functionality of my code are from previous version of angulars so the functions like $http.post.success() are depracted here and the code does not work. I need angular v 1.4.8 but it always downloads some other v1.5.9.build version. Here is how i tried downloading the package from bower.json</p>

<p>1) Mentioning the versions only..</p>

<pre><code>"dependencies": {
"angular": "1.4.8",
"jquery": "2.1.4"
 },
"resolutions": {
"jquery": "2.1.4",
"angular": "1.4.8"
</code></pre>

<p>2) I tried this way as well giving the full path of the repo in github</p>

<pre><code>"dependencies": {
"angular": "https://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#1.4.8",
"jquery": "2.1.4"
 },
"resolutions": {
"jquery": "2.1.4",
"angular": "https://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#1.4.8"
</code></pre>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated</p>
