     *Neeraj Singh*
 
-*   `belongs_to :touch` behavior now touches old association when
-    transitioning to new association.
-
-        class Passenger < ActiveRecord::Base
-          belongs_to :car, touch: true
-        end
-
-        car_1 = Car.create
-        car_2 = Car.create
-
-        passenger = Passenger.create car: car_1
-
-        passenger.car = car_2
-        passenger.save
-
-    Previously only car_2 would be touched. Now both car_1 and car_2
-    will be touched.
-
-    *Adam Gamble*
-
 *   Extract and deprecate Firebird / Sqlserver / Oracle database tasks, because
     These tasks should be supported by 3rd-party adapter.
