 *2.3.0 [Edge]*
 
+* Make ActionController#render(string) work as a shortcut for render :file/:template/:action => string. [#1435] [Pratik Naik] Examples:
+
+  # Instead of render(:action => 'other_action')
+  render('other_action') # argument has no '/'
+  render(:other_action)
+
+  # Instead of render(:template => 'controller/action')
+  render('controller/action') # argument must not begin with a '/', but contain a '/'
+
+  # Instead of render(:file => '/Users/lifo/home.html.erb')
+  render('/Users/lifo/home.html.erb') # argument must begin with a '/'
+
+* Add :prompt option to date/time select helpers. #561 [Sam Oliver]
+
 * Fixed that send_file shouldn't set an etag #1578 [Hongli Lai]
 
 * Allow users to opt out of the spoofing checks in Request#remote_ip.  Useful for sites whose traffic regularly triggers false positives. [Darren Boyd]

+      # It is recommended that this string be base64 or hexadecimal data.
+      # Specifically, since the string is passed in the header lines as a quoted string, the double-quote character is not allowed.
+      #
+      # The contents of the nonce are implementation dependent.
+      # The quality of the implementation depends on a good choice.
+      # A nonce might, for example, be constructed as the base 64 encoding of
+      #
+      # => time-stamp H(time-stamp ":" ETag ":" private-key)
+      #
+      # where time-stamp is a server-generated time or other non-repeating value,
+      # ETag is the value of the HTTP ETag header associated with the requested entity,
+      # and private-key is data known only to the server.
+      # With a nonce of this form a server would recalculate the hash portion after receiving the client authentication header and
+      # reject the request if it did not match the nonce from that header or
+      # if the time-stamp value is not recent enough. In this way the server can limit the time of the nonce's validity.
+      # The inclusion of the ETag prevents a replay request for an updated version of the resource.
+      # (Note: including the IP address of the client in the nonce would appear to offer the server the ability
+      # to limit the reuse of the nonce to the same client that originally got it.
+      # However, that would break proxy farms, where requests from a single user often go through different proxies in the farm.
+      # Also, IP address spoofing is not that hard.)
+      #
+      # An implementation might choose not to accept a previously used nonce or a previously used digest, in order to
+      # protect against a replay attack. Or, an implementation might choose to use one-time nonces or digests for
+      # POST or PUT requests and a time-stamp for GET requests. For more details on the issues involved see Section 4
