## Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased) ##
+* Added default order to `first` to assure consistent results among
+ diferent database engines. Introduced `take` as a replacement to
+ the old behavior of `first`.

* Added an :index option to automatically create indexes for references
and belongs_to statements in migrations.
