*SVN*
+* Improved resolution of DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words for better precision #5994 [Bob Silva]
+
* Changed that uncaught exceptions raised any where in the application will cause RAILS_ROOT/public/500.html to be read and shown instead of just the static "Application error (Rails)" [DHH]
* Integration tests: thoroughly test ActionController::Integration::Session. #6022 [Kevin Clark]
