*SVN*
+* Added that form helpers now take an index option #448 [Tim Bates]
+
+ Example:
+ text_field "person", "name", "index" => 3
+
+ Becomes:
+ <input type="text" name="person[3][name]" id="person_3_name" value="<%= @person.name %>" />
+
* Fixed three issues with retrying breakpoints #417 [Florian Gross]
1. Don't screw up pages that use multiple values for the same parameter (?foo=bar&foo=qux was converted to ?foo=barqux)
