 2. Fix it
 
 Repeat these steps until the CI is green.
+
+=== Manually trigger docs generation
+
+We have a post-receive hook in GitHub that calls the docs server on pushes.
+It triggers generation and publication of edge docs, updates the contrib app,
+and generates and publishes stable docs if a new stable tag is detected.
+
+The hook unfortunately is not invoked by tag pushing, so once the new stable
+tag has been pushed to origin, please run
+
+    rake publish_docs
+
+You should see something like this:
+
+    Rails master hook tasks scheduled:
+
+      * updates the local checkout
+      * updates Rails Contributors
+      * generates and publishes edge docs
+
+    If a new stable tag is detected it also
+
+      * generates and publishes stable docs
+
+    This needs typically a few minutes.
+
+Note you do not need to specify the tag, the docs server figures it out.
+
+Also, don't worry if you call that multiple times or the hook is triggered
+again by some immediate regular push, if the scripts are running new calls
+are just queued (in a queue of size 1).

-
-* No Changes, just a version bump.
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.0 (August 29, 2010)*
-
-* subject is automatically looked up on I18n using mailer_name and action_name as scope as in t(".subject") [JK]
-
-* Changed encoding behaviour of mail, so updated tests in actionmailer and bumped mail version to 2.2.1 [ML]
-
-* Added ability to pass Proc objects to the defaults hash [ML]
-
-* Removed all quoting.rb type files from ActionMailer and put Mail 2.2.0 in instead [ML]
-
-* Lot of updates to various test cases that now work better with the new Mail and so have different expectations
-
-* Added interceptors and observers from Mail [ML]
-
-    ActionMailer::Base.register_interceptor calls Mail.register_interceptor
-    ActionMailer::Base.register_observer calls Mail.register_observer
-
-* Mail::Part now no longer has nil as a default charset, it is always set to something, and defaults to UTF-8
-
-* Added explict setting of charset in set_fields! method to make sure Mail has the user defined default
-
-* Removed quoting.rb and refactored for Mail to take responsibility of all quoting and auto encoding requirements for the header.
-
-* Fixed several tests which had incorrect encoding.
-
-* Changed all utf-8 to UTF-8 for consistency
-
-* Whole new API added with tests.  See base.rb for full details.  Old API is deprecated.
-
-* The Mail::Message class has helped methods for all the field types that return 'common' defaults for the common use case, so to get the subject, mail.subject will give you a string, mail.date will give you a DateTime object, mail.from will give you an array of address specs (mikel@test.lindsaar.net) etc.  If you want to access the field object itself, call mail[:field_name] which will return the field object you want, which you can then chain, like mail[:from].formatted
-
-* Mail#content_type now returns the content_type field as a string. If you want the mime type of a mail, then you call Mail#mime_type (eg, text/plain), if you want the parameters of the content type field, you call Mail#content_type_parameters which gives you a hash, eg {'format' => 'flowed', 'charset' => 'utf-8'}
-
-* ActionMailer::Base :default_implicit_parts_order now is in the sequence of the order you want, no reversing of ordering takes place.  The default order now is text/plain, then text/enriched, then text/html and then any other part that is not one of these three.
-
-* Mail does not have "quoted_body", "quoted_subject" etc.  All of these are accessed via body.encoded, subject.encoded etc
-
-* Every object in a Mail object returns an object, never a string.  So Mail.body returns a Mail::Body class object, need to call #encoded or #decoded to get the string you want.
-* Mail::Message#set_content_type does not exist, it is simply Mail::Message#content_type
-
-* Every mail message gets a unique message_id unless you specify one, had to change all the tests that check for equality with expected.encoded == actual.encoded to first replace their message_ids with control values
-
-* Mail now has a proper concept of parts, remove the ActionMailer::Part and ActionMailer::PartContainer classes
-
-* Calling #encoded on any object returns it as a string ready to go into the output stream of an email, this means it includes the \r\n at the end of the lines and the object is pre-wrapped with \r\n\t if it is a header field.  Also, the "encoded" value includes the field name if it is a header field.
-
-* Attachments are only the actual attachment, with filename etc.  A part contains an attachment.  The part has the content_type etc.  So attachments.last.content_type is invalid.  But parts.last.content_type
-
-* There is no idea of a "sub_head" in Mail.  A part is just a Message with some extra functionality, so it just has a "header" like a normal mail message
-
-
-*2.3.2 [Final] (March 15, 2009)*
-
-* Fixed that ActionMailer should send correctly formatted Return-Path in MAIL FROM for SMTP #1842 [Matt Jones]
-
-* Fixed RFC-2045 quoted-printable bug #1421 [squadette]
-
-* Fixed that no body charset would be set when there are attachments present #740 [Paweł Kondzior]
-
-
-*2.2.1 [RC2] (November 14th, 2008)*
-
-* Turn on STARTTLS if it is available in Net::SMTP (added in Ruby 1.8.7) and the SMTP server supports it (This is required for Gmail's SMTP server) #1336 [Grant Hollingworth]
-
-
-*2.2.0 [RC1] (October 24th, 2008)*
-
-* Add layout functionality to mailers [Pratik Naik]
-
-  Mailer layouts behaves just like controller layouts, except layout names need to
-  have '_mailer' postfix for them to be automatically picked up.
-
-
-*2.1.0 (May 31st, 2008)*
-
-* Fixed that a return-path header would be ignored #7572 [joost]
-
-* Less verbose mail logging: just recipients for :info log level; the whole email for :debug only.  #8000 [iaddict, Tarmo Tänav]
-
-* Updated TMail to version 1.2.1 [Mikel Lindsaar]
-
-* Fixed that you don't have to call super in ActionMailer::TestCase#setup #10406 [jamesgolick]

-  NOTE: This is an API change that could potentially break your application if you used the old application form. Please do change!
-
-* Added Base#deliveries as an accessor for an array of emails sent out through that ActionMailer class when using the :test delivery option. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added Base#perform_deliveries= which can be set to false to turn off the actual delivery of the email through smtp or sendmail.
-  This is especially useful for functional testing that shouldn't send off real emails, but still trigger delivery_* methods.
-
-* Added option to specify delivery method with Base#delivery_method=. Default is :smtp and :sendmail is currently the only other option.
-  Sendmail is assumed to be present at "/usr/sbin/sendmail" if that option is used. [Kent Sibilev]
-
-* Dropped "include TMail" as it added to much baggage into the default namespace (like Version) [Chad Fowler]
-
-
-*0.3*

-* First release

+
+## Rails 3.0.0 (August 29, 2010) ##
+
+*   subject is automatically looked up on I18n using mailer_name and action_name as scope as in t(".subject") *JK*
+
+*   Changed encoding behaviour of mail, so updated tests in actionmailer and bumped mail version to 2.2.1 *ML*
+
+*   Added ability to pass Proc objects to the defaults hash *ML*
+
+*   Removed all quoting.rb type files from ActionMailer and put Mail 2.2.0 in instead *ML*
+
+*   Lot of updates to various test cases that now work better with the new Mail and so have different expectations
+
+*   Added interceptors and observers from Mail *ML*
+
+        ActionMailer::Base.register_interceptor calls Mail.register_interceptor
+        ActionMailer::Base.register_observer calls Mail.register_observer
+
+*   Mail::Part now no longer has nil as a default charset, it is always set to something, and defaults to UTF-8
+
+*   Added explict setting of charset in set_fields! method to make sure Mail has the user defined default
+
+*   Removed quoting.rb and refactored for Mail to take responsibility of all quoting and auto encoding requirements for the header.
+
+*   Fixed several tests which had incorrect encoding.
+
+*   Changed all utf-8 to UTF-8 for consistency
+
+*   Whole new API added with tests.  See base.rb for full details.  Old API is deprecated.
+
+*   The Mail::Message class has helped methods for all the field types that return 'common' defaults for the common use case, so to get the subject, mail.subject will give you a string, mail.date will give you a DateTime object, mail.from will give you an array of address specs (mikel@test.lindsaar.net) etc.  If you want to access the field object itself, call mail[:field_name] which will return the field object you want, which you can then chain, like mail[:from].formatted
+
+*   Mail#content_type now returns the content_type field as a string. If you want the mime type of a mail, then you call Mail#mime_type (eg, text/plain), if you want the parameters of the content type field, you call Mail#content_type_parameters which gives you a hash, eg {'format' => 'flowed', 'charset' => 'utf-8'}
+
+*   ActionMailer::Base :default_implicit_parts_order now is in the sequence of the order you want, no reversing of ordering takes place.  The default order now is text/plain, then text/enriched, then text/html and then any other part that is not one of these three.
+
+*   Mail does not have "quoted_body", "quoted_subject" etc.  All of these are accessed via body.encoded, subject.encoded etc
+
+*   Every object in a Mail object returns an object, never a string.  So Mail.body returns a Mail::Body class object, need to call #encoded or #decoded to get the string you want.
+*   Mail::Message#set_content_type does not exist, it is simply Mail::Message#content_type
+
+*   Every mail message gets a unique message_id unless you specify one, had to change all the tests that check for equality with expected.encoded == actual.encoded to first replace their message_ids with control values
+
+*   Mail now has a proper concept of parts, remove the ActionMailer::Part and ActionMailer::PartContainer classes
+
+*   Calling #encoded on any object returns it as a string ready to go into the output stream of an email, this means it includes the \r\n at the end of the lines and the object is pre-wrapped with \r\n\t if it is a header field.  Also, the "encoded" value includes the field name if it is a header field.
+
+*   Attachments are only the actual attachment, with filename etc.  A part contains an attachment.  The part has the content_type etc.  So attachments.last.content_type is invalid.  But parts.last.content_type
+
+*   There is no idea of a "sub_head" in Mail.  A part is just a Message with some extra functionality, so it just has a "header" like a normal mail message
+
+

+
+
+## 1.0.0 (6 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Avoid adding nil header values #1392
+
+*   Better multipart support with implicit multipart/alternative and sorting of subparts *John Long*
+
+*   Allow for nested parts in multipart mails #1570 *Flurin Egger*
+
+*   Normalize line endings in outgoing mail bodies to "\n" #1536 *John Long*
+
+*   Allow template to be explicitly specified #1448 *tuxie@dekadance.se*
+
+*   Allow specific "multipart/xxx" content-type to be set on multipart messages #1412 *Flurin Egger*
+
+*   Unquoted @ characters in headers are now accepted in spite of RFC 822 #1206
+
+*   Helper support (borrowed from ActionPack)
+
+*   Silently ignore Errno::EINVAL errors when converting text.
+
+*   Don't cause an error when parsing an encoded attachment name #1340 *lon@speedymac.com*
+
+*   Nested multipart message parts are correctly processed in TMail::Mail#body
+
+*   BCC headers are removed when sending via SMTP #1402
+
+*   Added 'content_type' accessor, to allow content type to be set on a per-message basis. content_type defaults to "text/plain".
+
+*   Silently ignore Iconv::IllegalSequence errors when converting text #1341 *lon@speedymac.com*
+
+*   Support attachments and multipart messages.
+
+*   Added new accessors for the various mail properties.
+
+*   Fix to only perform the charset conversion if a 'from' and a 'to' charset are given (make no assumptions about what the charset was) #1276 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fix attachments and content-type problems #1276 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fixed the TMail#body method to look at the content-transfer-encoding header and unquote the body according to the rules it specifies #1265 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added unquoting even if the iconv lib can't be loaded--in that case, only the charset conversion is skipped #1265 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added automatic decoding of base64 bodies #1214 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added that delivery errors are caught in a way so the mail is still returned whether the delivery was successful or not
+
+*   Fixed that email address like "Jamis Buck, M.D." <wild.medicine@example.net> would cause the quoter to generate emails resulting in "bad address" errors from the mail server #1220 *Jamis Buck*
+
+
+## 0.9.1 (20th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Depend on Action Pack 1.8.1
+
+
+## 0.9.0 (19th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added that deliver_* will now return the email that was sent
+
+*   Added that quoting to UTF-8 only happens if the characters used are in that range #955 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fixed quoting for all address headers, not just to #955 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fixed unquoting of emails that doesn't have an explicit charset #1036 *wolfgang@stufenlos.net*
+
+
+## 0.8.1 (27th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that if charset was found that the end of a mime part declaration TMail would throw an error #919 *lon@speedymac.com*
+
+*   Fixed that TMail::Unquoter would fail to recognize quoting method if it was in lowercase #919 *lon@speedymac.com*
+
+*   Fixed that TMail::Encoder would fail when it attempts to parse e-mail addresses which are encoded using something other than the messages encoding method #919 *lon@speedymac.com*
+
+*   Added rescue for missing iconv library and throws warnings if subject/body is called on a TMail object without it instead
+
+
+## 0.8.0 (22th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added framework support for processing incoming emails with an Action Mailer class. See example in README.
+
+
+## 0.7.1 (7th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Bind to newest Action Pack (1.5.1)
+
+
+## 0.7.0 (24th February, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added support for charsets for both subject and body. The default charset is now UTF-8 #673 [Jamis Buck]. Examples:
+
+        def iso_charset(recipient)
+          @recipients = recipient
+          @subject    = "testing iso charsets"
+          @from       = "system@loudthinking.com"
+          @body       = "Nothing to see here."
+          @charset    = "iso-8859-1"
+        end
+
+        def unencoded_subject(recipient)
+          @recipients = recipient
+          @subject    = "testing unencoded subject"
+          @from       = "system@loudthinking.com"
+          @body       = "Nothing to see here."
+          @encode_subject = false
+          @charset    = "iso-8859-1"
+        end
+
+
+## 0.6.1 (January 18th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed sending of emails to use Tmail#from not the deprecated Tmail#from_address
+
+
+## 0.6 (January 17th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that bcc and cc should be settable through @bcc and @cc -- not just @headers["Bcc"] and @headers["Cc"] #453 *Eric Hodel*
+
+*   Fixed Action Mailer to be "warnings safe" so you can run with ruby -w and not get framework warnings #453 *Eric Hodel*
+
+
+## 0.5 ##
+
+*   Added access to custom headers, like cc, bcc, and reply-to #268 [Andreas Schwarz]. Example:
+
+        def post_notification(recipients, post)
+          @recipients          = recipients
+          @from                = post.author.email_address_with_name
+          @headers["bcc"]      = SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATOR_EMAIL
+          @headers["reply-to"] = "notifications@example.com"
+          @subject             = "[#{post.account.name} #{post.title}]"
+          @body["post"]        = post
+        end
+
+## 0.4 (5) ##
+
+*   Consolidated the server configuration options into Base#server_settings= and expanded that with controls for authentication and more *Marten*
+    NOTE: This is an API change that could potentially break your application if you used the old application form. Please do change!
+
+*   Added Base#deliveries as an accessor for an array of emails sent out through that ActionMailer class when using the :test delivery option. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added Base#perform_deliveries= which can be set to false to turn off the actual delivery of the email through smtp or sendmail.
+    This is especially useful for functional testing that shouldn't send off real emails, but still trigger delivery_* methods.
+
+*   Added option to specify delivery method with Base#delivery_method=. Default is :smtp and :sendmail is currently the only other option.
+    Sendmail is assumed to be present at "/usr/sbin/sendmail" if that option is used. *Kent Sibilev*
+
+*   Dropped "include TMail" as it added to much baggage into the default namespace (like Version) *Chad Fowler*
+
+
+## 0.3 ##
+
+*   First release

-*Rails 3.2.0 (unreleased)*
-
-* Responders now return 204 No Content for API requests without a response body (as in the new scaffold) [José Valim]
-
-* Added ActionDispatch::RequestId middleware that'll make a unique X-Request-Id header available to the response and enables the ActionDispatch::Request#uuid method. This makes it easy to trace requests from end-to-end in the stack and to identify individual requests in mixed logs like Syslog [DHH]
-
-* Limit the number of options for select_year to 1000.
-
-  Pass the :max_years_allowed option to set your own limit.
-
-  [Libo Cannici]
-
-* Passing formats or handlers to render :template and friends is deprecated. For example: [Nick Sutterer & José Valim]
-
-    render :template => "foo.html.erb"
-
-  Instead, you can provide :handlers and :formats directly as option:
-  
-    render :template => "foo", :formats => [:html, :js], :handlers => :erb
-
-* Changed log level of warning for missing CSRF token from :debug to :warn. [Mike Dillon]
-
-* content_tag_for and div_for can now take the collection of records. It will also yield the record as the first argument if you set a receiving argument in your block [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-  So instead of having to do this:
-
-    @items.each do |item|
-      content_tag_for(:li, item) do
-         Title: <%= item.title %>
-      end
-    end
-
-  You can now do this:
-
-    content_tag_for(:li, @items) do |item|
-      Title: <%= item.title %>
-    end
-
-* send_file now guess the mime type [Esad Hajdarevic]
-
-* Mime type entries for PDF, ZIP and other formats were added [Esad Hajdarevic]
-
-* Generate hidden input before select with :multiple option set to true.
-  This is useful when you rely on the fact that when no options is set,
-  the state of select will be sent to rails application. Without hidden field
-  nothing is sent according to HTML spec [Bogdan Gusiev]
-
-* Refactor ActionController::TestCase cookies [Andrew White]
-
-  Assigning cookies for test cases should now use cookies[], e.g:
-
-    cookies[:email] = 'user@example.com'
-    get :index
-    assert_equal 'user@example.com', cookies[:email]
-
-  To clear the cookies, use clear, e.g:
-
-    cookies.clear
-    get :index
-    assert_nil cookies[:email]
-
-  We now no longer write out HTTP_COOKIE and the cookie jar is
-  persistent between requests so if you need to manipulate the environment
-  for your test you need to do it before the cookie jar is created.
-
-
-*Rails 3.1.1 (unreleased)*
-
-* javascript_path and stylesheet_path now refer to /assets if asset pipelining
-is on. [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* button_to support form option. Now you're able to pass for example
-'data-type' => 'json'. [ihower]
-
-* image_path and image_tag should use /assets if asset pipelining is turned
-on. Closes #3126 [Santiago Pastorino and christos]
-
-* Avoid use of existing precompiled assets during rake assets:precompile run.
-Closes #3119 [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-* Copy assets to nondigested filenames too [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Give precedence to `config.digest = false` over the existence of
-manifest.yml asset digests [christos]
-
-* escape options for the stylesheet_link_tag method [Alexey Vakhov]
-
-* Re-launch assets:precompile task using (Rake.)ruby instead of Kernel.exec so
-it works on Windows [cablegram]
-
-* env var passed to process shouldn't be modified in process method. [Santiago
-Pastorino]
-
-* `rake assets:precompile` loads the application but does not initialize
-it.
-
-  To the app developer, this means configuration add in
-	config/initializers/* will not be executed.
-
-  Plugins developers need to special case their initializers that are
-  meant to be run in the assets group by adding :group => :assets. [José Valim]
-
-* Sprockets uses config.assets.prefix for asset_path [asee]
-
-* FileStore key_file_path properly limit filenames to 255 characters. [phuibonhoa]
-
-* Fix Hash#to_query edge case with html_safe strings. [brainopia]
-
-* Allow asset tag helper methods to accept :digest => false option in order to completely avoid the digest generation.
-Useful for linking assets from static html files or from emails when the user
-could probably look at an older html email with an older asset. [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Don't mount Sprockets server at config.assets.prefix if config.assets.compile is false. [Mark J. Titorenko]
-
-* Set relative url root in assets when controller isn't available for Sprockets (eg. Sass files using asset_path). Fixes #2435 [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-* Fix basic auth credential generation to not make newlines. GH #2882
-
-* Fixed the behavior of asset pipeline when config.assets.digest and config.assets.compile are false and requested asset isn't precompiled.
-  Before the requested asset were compiled anyway ignoring that the config.assets.compile flag is false. [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-* CookieJar is now Enumerable. Fixes #2795
-
-* Fixed AssetNotPrecompiled error raised when rake assets:precompile is compiling certain .erb files. See GH #2763 #2765 #2805 [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-* Manifest is correctly placed in assets path when default assets prefix is changed. Fixes #2776 [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-* Fixed stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag to respect additional options passed by the users when debug is on. [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-
-*Rails 3.1.0 (August 30, 2011)*
-
-* Param values are `paramified` in controller tests. [David Chelimsky]
-
-* x_sendfile_header now defaults to nil and config/environments/production.rb doesn't set a particular value for it. This allows servers to set it through X-Sendfile-Type. [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* The submit form helper does not generate an id "object_name_id" anymore. [fbrusatti]
-
-* Make sure respond_with with :js tries to render a template in all cases [José Valim]
-
-* json_escape will now return a SafeBuffer string if it receives SafeBuffer string [tenderlove]
-
-* Make sure escape_js returns SafeBuffer string if it receives SafeBuffer string [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-* Fix escape_js to work correctly with the new SafeBuffer restriction [Paul Gallagher]
-
-* Brought back alternative convention for namespaced models in i18n [thoefer]
-
-  Now the key can be either "namespace.model" or "namespace/model" until further deprecation.
-
-* It is prohibited to perform a in-place SafeBuffer mutation [tenderlove]
-
-  The old behavior of SafeBuffer allowed you to mutate string in place via
-  method like `sub!`. These methods can add unsafe strings to a safe buffer,
-  and the safe buffer will continue to be marked as safe.
-
-  An example problem would be something like this:
-
-    <%= link_to('hello world', @user).sub!(/hello/, params[:xss])  %>
-
-  In the above example, an untrusted string (`params[:xss]`) is added to the
-  safe buffer returned by `link_to`, and the untrusted content is successfully
-  sent to the client without being escaped.  To prevent this from happening
-  `sub!` and other similar methods will now raise an exception when they are called on a safe buffer.
-
-  In addition to the in-place versions, some of the versions of these methods which return a copy of the string will incorrectly mark strings as safe. For example:
-
-     <%= link_to('hello world', @user).sub(/hello/, params[:xss]) %>
-
-  The new versions will now ensure that *all* strings returned by these methods on safe buffers are marked unsafe.
-
-  You can read more about this change in http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-security/browse_thread/thread/2e516e7acc96c4fb
-
-* Warn if we cannot verify CSRF token authenticity [José Valim]
-
-* Allow AM/PM format in datetime selectors [Aditya Sanghi]
-
-* Only show dump of regular env methods on exception screen (not all the rack crap) [DHH]
-
-* auto_link has been removed with no replacement.  If you still use auto_link
-  please install the rails_autolink gem:
-    http://github.com/tenderlove/rails_autolink
-
-  [tenderlove]
-
-* Added streaming support, you can enable it with: [José Valim]
-
-    class PostsController < ActionController::Base
-      stream :only => :index
-    end
-
-  Please read the docs at `ActionController::Streaming` for more information.
-
-* Added `ActionDispatch::Request.ignore_accept_header` to ignore accept headers and only consider the format given as parameter [José Valim]
-
-* Created `ActionView::Renderer` and specified an API for `ActionView::Context`, check those objects for more information [José Valim]
-
-* Added `ActionController::ParamsWrapper` to wrap parameters into a nested hash, and will be turned on for JSON request in new applications by default [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-  This can be customized by setting `ActionController::Base.wrap_parameters` in `config/initializer/wrap_parameters.rb`
-
-* RJS has been extracted out to a gem. [fxn]
-
-* Implicit actions named not_implemented can be rendered. [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Wildcard route will always match the optional format segment by default. [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-  For example if you have this route:
-
-    match '*pages' => 'pages#show'
-
-  by requesting '/foo/bar.json', your `params[:pages]` will be equals to "foo/bar" with the request format of JSON. If you want the old 3.0.x behavior back, you could supply `:format => false` like this:
-
-    match '*pages' => 'pages#show', :format => false
-
-* Added Base.http_basic_authenticate_with to do simple http basic authentication with a single class method call [DHH]
-
-    class PostsController < ApplicationController
-      USER_NAME, PASSWORD = "dhh", "secret"
-
-      before_filter :authenticate, :except => [ :index ]
-
-      def index
-        render :text => "Everyone can see me!"
-      end
-
-      def edit
-        render :text => "I'm only accessible if you know the password"
-      end
-
-      private
-        def authenticate
-          authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |user_name, password|
-            user_name == USER_NAME && password == PASSWORD
-          end
-        end
-    end
-
-  ..can now be written as
-
-    class PostsController < ApplicationController
-      http_basic_authenticate_with :name => "dhh", :password => "secret", :except => :index
-
-      def index
-        render :text => "Everyone can see me!"
-      end
-
-      def edit
-        render :text => "I'm only accessible if you know the password"
-      end
-    end
-
-* Allow you to add `force_ssl` into controller to force browser to transfer data via HTTPS protocol on that particular controller. You can also specify `:only` or `:except` to specific it to particular action. [DHH and Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-* Allow FormHelper#form_for to specify the :method as a direct option instead of through the :html hash [DHH]
-
-    form_for(@post, remote: true, method: :delete) instead of form_for(@post, remote: true, html: { method: :delete })
-
-* Make JavaScriptHelper#j() an alias for JavaScriptHelper#escape_javascript() -- note this then supersedes the Object#j() method that the JSON gem adds within templates using the JavaScriptHelper [DHH]
-
-* Sensitive query string parameters (specified in config.filter_parameters) will now be filtered out from the request paths in the log file. [Prem Sichanugrist, fxn]
-
-* URL parameters which return false for to_param now appear in the query string (previously they were removed) [Andrew White]
-
-* URL parameters which return nil for to_param are now removed from the query string [Andrew White]
-
-* ActionDispatch::MiddlewareStack now uses composition over inheritance. It is
-no longer an array which means there may be methods missing that were not
-tested.
-
-* Add an :authenticity_token option to form_tag for custom handling or to omit the token (pass :authenticity_token => false).  [Jakub Kuźma, Igor Wiedler]
-
-* HTML5 button_tag helper. [Rizwan Reza]
-
-* Template lookup now searches further up in the inheritance chain. [Artemave]
-
-* Brought back config.action_view.cache_template_loading, which allows to decide whether templates should be cached or not. [Piotr Sarnacki]
-
-* url_for and named url helpers now accept :subdomain and :domain as options, [Josh Kalderimis]
-
-* The redirect route method now also accepts a hash of options which will only change the parts of the url in question, or an object which responds to call, allowing for redirects to be reused (check the documentation for examples). [Josh Kalderimis]
-
-* Added config.action_controller.include_all_helpers. By default 'helper :all' is done in ActionController::Base, which includes all the helpers by default. Setting include_all_helpers to false will result in including only application_helper and helper corresponding to controller (like foo_helper for foo_controller). [Piotr Sarnacki]
-
-* Added a convenience idiom to generate HTML5 data-* attributes in tag helpers from a :data hash of options:
-
-    tag("div", :data => {:name => 'Stephen', :city_state => %w(Chicago IL)})
-    # => <div data-name="Stephen" data-city-state="[&quot;Chicago&quot;,&quot;IL&quot;]" />
-
-  Keys are dasherized. Values are JSON-encoded, except for strings and symbols. [Stephen Celis]
-
-* Deprecate old template handler API. The new API simply requires a template handler to respond to call. [José Valim]
-
-* :rhtml and :rxml were finally removed as template handlers. [José Valim]
-
-* Moved etag responsibility from ActionDispatch::Response to the middleware stack. [José Valim]
-
-* Rely on Rack::Session stores API for more compatibility across the Ruby world. This is backwards incompatible since Rack::Session expects #get_session to accept 4 arguments and requires #destroy_session instead of simply #destroy. [José Valim]
-
-* file_field automatically adds :multipart => true to the enclosing form. [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Renames csrf_meta_tag -> csrf_meta_tags, and aliases csrf_meta_tag for backwards compatibility. [fxn]
-
-* Add Rack::Cache to the default stack. Create a Rails store that delegates to the Rails cache, so by default, whatever caching layer you are using will be used for HTTP caching. Note that Rack::Cache will be used if you use #expires_in, #fresh_when or #stale with :public => true. Otherwise, the caching rules will apply to the browser only. [Yehuda Katz, Carl Lerche]
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.7 (April 18, 2011)*
-
-*No changes.
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.6 (April 5, 2011)
-
-* Fixed XSS vulnerability in `auto_link`.  `auto_link` no longer marks input as
-  html safe.  Please make sure that calls to auto_link() are wrapped in a
-  sanitize(), or a raw() depending on the type of input passed to auto_link().
-  For example:
-
-    <%= sanitize(auto_link(some_user_input)) %>
-
-  Thanks to Torben Schulz for reporting this.  The fix can be found here:
-  61ee3449674c591747db95f9b3472c5c3bd9e84d
-
-* Fixes the output of `rake routes` to be correctly match to the behavior of the application, as the regular expression used to match the path is greedy and won't capture the format part by default [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-* Fixes an issue with number_to_human when converting values which are less than 1 but greater than -1 [Josh Kalderimis]
-
-* Sensitive query string parameters (specified in config.filter_parameters) will now be filtered out from the request paths in the log file. [Prem Sichanugrist, fxn]
-
-* URL parameters which return nil for to_param are now removed from the query string [Andrew White]
-
-* Don't allow i18n to change the minor version, version now set to ~> 0.5.0 [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Make TranslationHelper#translate use the :rescue_format option in I18n 0.5.0 [Sven Fuchs]
-
-* Fix regression: javascript_include_tag shouldn't raise if you register an expansion key with nil or [] value [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Fix Action caching bug where an action that has a non-cacheable response always renders a nil response body. It now correctly renders the response body. [Cheah Chu Yeow]
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.5 (February 26, 2011)*
-

-
-* No changes.
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.3 (November 16, 2010)*
-
-* When ActiveRecord::Base objects are sent to predicate methods, the id of the object should be sent to ARel, not the ActiveRecord::Base object.
-
-* :constraints routing should only do sanity checks against regular expressions.  String arguments are OK.
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.2 (November 15, 2010)*
-
-* The helper number_to_currency accepts a new :negative_format option to be able to configure how to render negative amounts. [Don Wilson]
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.1 (October 15, 2010)*
-
-* No Changes, just a version bump.
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.0 (August 29, 2010)*
-
-* password_field renders with nil value by default making the use of passwords secure by default, if you want to render you should do for instance f.password_field(:password, :value => @user.password) [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Symbols and strings in routes should yield the same behavior. Note this may break existing apps that were using symbols with the new routes API. [José Valim]
-
-* Add clear_helpers as a way to clean up all helpers added to this controller, maintaining just the helper with the same name as the controller. [José Valim]
-
-* Support routing constraints in functional tests. [Andrew White]
-
-* Add a header that tells Internet Explorer (all versions) to use the best available standards support. [Yehuda Katz]
-
-* Allow stylesheet/javascript extensions to be changed through railties. [Josh Kalderimis]
-
-* link_to, button_to, and tag/tag_options now rely on html_escape instead of escape_once. [fxn]
-
-* url_for returns always unescaped strings, and the :escape option is gone. [fxn]
-
-* Added accept-charset parameter and _snowman hidden field to force the contents
-  of Rails POSTed forms to be in UTF-8 [Yehuda Katz]
-
-* Upgrade to Rack 1.2.1 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Allow :path to be given to match/get/post/put/delete instead of :path_names in the new router [Carlos Antônio da Silva]
-
-* Added resources_path_names to the new router DSL [José Valim]
-

-        resources :comments
-      end
-    end
-
-    You can now use comment_path for /comments/1 instead of post_comment_path for /posts/1/comments/1.

-
-* Removed textilize, textilize_without_paragraph and markdown helpers. [Santiago Pastorino]

-
-* Fixed inconsistencies in form builder and view helpers #4432 [Neeraj Singh]

-
-* Renamed the field error CSS class from fieldWithErrors to field_with_errors for consistency.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add support for shorthand routes like /projects/status(.:format)  #4423 [Diego Carrion]
-
-* Changed translate helper so that it doesn’t mark every translation as safe HTML. Only keys with a "_html" suffix and keys named "html" are considered to be safe HTML. All other translations are left untouched. [Craig Davey]
-
-* New option :as added to form_for allows to change the object name. The old <% form_for :client, @post %> becomes <% form_for @post, :as => :client %> [spastorino]
-
-* Removed verify method in controllers. [JV]
-  It's now available as a plugin at http://github.com/rails/verification

-
-* Routes can be scoped by controller module. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-    # /session => Auth::SessionsController
-    scope :module => 'auth' do
-      resource :session
-    end
-
-* Added #favicon_link_tag, it uses #image_path so in particular the favicon gets an asset ID [fxn]
-
-* Fixed that default locale templates should be used if the current locale template is missing [DHH]
-
-* Added all the new HTML5 form types as individual form tag methods (search, url, number, etc) #3646 [Stephen Celis]
-
-* Changed the object used in routing constraints to be an instance of
-  ActionDispatch::Request rather than Rack::Request [YK]
-
-* Changed ActionDispatch::Request#method to return a String, to be compatible
-  with Rack::Request. Added ActionDispatch::Request#method_symbol to
-  return a symbol form of the request method. [YK]
-
-* Changed ActionDispatch::Request#method to return the original
-  method and #request_method to return the overridden method in the
-  case of methodoverride being used (this means that #method returns
-  "HEAD" and #request_method returns "GET" in HEAD requests). This
-  is for compatibility with Rack::Request [YK]
-
-* #concat is now deprecated in favor of using <%= %> helpers [YK]
-
-* Block helpers now return Strings, so you can use <%= form_for @foo do |f| %>.
-  <% form_for do |f| %> still works with deprecation notices [YK]
-
-* Add a new #mount method on the router that does not anchor the PATH_INFO
-  at the end [YK & CL]
-
-* Create a new LookupContext object that is responsible for performantly
-  finding a template for a given pattern [JV]

-
-* Change the preferred way that URL helpers are included into a class[YK & CL]

-    include Rails.application.router.url_helpers
-
-    # for just url_for
-    include Rails.application.router.url_for
-
-* Fixed that PrototypeHelper#update_page should return html_safe [DHH]
-
-* Fixed that much of DateHelper wouldn't return html_safe? strings [DHH]
-
-* Fixed that fragment caching should return a cache hit as html_safe (or it would all just get escaped) [DHH]
-
-* Added that ActionController::Base now does helper :all instead of relying on the default ApplicationController in Rails to do it [DHH]
-
-* Added ActionDispatch::Request#authorization to access the http authentication header regardless of its proxy hiding [DHH]
-
-* Added :alert, :notice, and :flash as options to ActionController::Base#redirect_to that'll automatically set the proper flash before the redirection [DHH]. Examples:
-
-    flash[:notice] = 'Post was created'
-    redirect_to(@post)
-
-  ...becomes:
-
-    redirect_to(@post, :notice => 'Post was created')
-
-* Added ActionController::Base#notice/= and ActionController::Base#alert/= as a convenience accessors in both the controller and the view for flash[:notice]/= and flash[:alert]/= [DHH]

-
-* Introduce grouped_collection_select helper.  #1249 [Dan Codeape, Erik Ostrom]

-    <%# encoding: utf-8 %>
-
-* Change integration test helpers to accept Rack environment instead of just HTTP Headers [Pratik Naik]
-
-  Before :  get '/path', {}, 'Accept' => 'text/javascript'
-  After  :  get '/path', {}, 'HTTP_ACCEPT' => 'text/javascript'
-
-* Instead of checking Rails.env.test? in Failsafe middleware, check env["rails.raise_exceptions"] [Bryan Helmkamp]
-
-* Fixed that TestResponse.cookies was returning cookies unescaped #1867 [Doug McInnes]
-
-
-*2.3.2 [Final] (March 15, 2009)*
-
-* Fixed that redirection would just log the options, not the final url (which lead to "Redirected to #<Post:0x23150b8>") [DHH]
-
-* Don't check authenticity tokens for any AJAX requests [Ross Kaffenberger/Bryan Helmkamp]
-
-* Added ability to pass in :public => true to fresh_when, stale?, and expires_in to make the request proxy cachable #2095 [Gregg Pollack]
-
-* Fixed that passing a custom form builder would be forwarded to nested fields_for calls #2023 [Eloy Duran/Nate Wiger]
-
-* Form option helpers now support disabled option tags and the use of lambdas for selecting/disabling option tags from collections #837 [Tekin]
-
-* Added partial scoping to TranslationHelper#translate, so if you call translate(".foo") from the people/index.html.erb template, you'll actually be calling I18n.translate("people.index.foo") [DHH]
-
-* Fix a syntax error in current_page?() that was prevent matches against URL's with multiple query parameters #1385, #1868 [chris finne/Andrew White]

-
-* Make the form_for and fields_for helpers support the new Active Record nested update options.  #1202 [Eloy Duran]
-
-		<% form_for @person do |person_form| %>
-		  ...
-		  <% person_form.fields_for :projects do |project_fields| %>
-		    <% if project_fields.object.active? %>
-		      Name: <%= project_fields.text_field :name %>
-		    <% end %>
-		  <% end %>
-		<% end %>
-
-
-* Added grouped_options_for_select helper method for wrapping option tags in optgroups. #977 [Jon Crawford]
-
-* Implement HTTP Digest authentication. #1230 [Gregg Kellogg, Pratik Naik] Example :
-
-  class DummyDigestController < ActionController::Base
-    USERS = { "lifo" => 'world' }
-
-    before_filter :authenticate
-
-    def index
-      render :text => "Hello Secret"
-    end
-
-    private
-
-    def authenticate
-      authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest("Super Secret") do |username|
-        # Return the user's password
-        USERS[username]
-      end
-    end
-  end
-
-* Improved i18n support for the number_to_human_size helper. Changes the storage_units translation data; update your translations accordingly.  #1634 [Yaroslav Markin]
-    storage_units:
-      # %u is the storage unit, %n is the number (default: 2 MB)
-      format: "%n %u"
-      units:
-        byte:
-          one: "Byte"
-          other: "Bytes"
-        kb: "KB"
-        mb: "MB"
-        gb: "GB"
-        tb: "TB"
-
-* Added :silence option to BenchmarkHelper#benchmark and turned log_level into a hash parameter and deprecated the old use [DHH]
-
-* Fixed the AssetTagHelper cache to use the computed asset host as part of the cache key instead of just assuming the its a string #1299 [DHH]
-
-* 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 '/'

-* Deprecated formatted_polymorphic_url.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added the option to declare an asset_host as an object that responds to call (see http://github.com/dhh/asset-hosting-with-minimum-ssl for an example) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added support for multiple routes.rb files (useful for plugin engines). This also means that draw will no longer clear the route set, you have to do that by hand (shouldn't make a difference to you unless you're doing some funky stuff) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Dropped formatted_* routes in favor of just passing in :format as an option. This cuts resource routes generation in half #1359 [aaronbatalion]
-
-* Remove support for old double-encoded cookies from the cookie store.  These values haven't been generated since before 2.1.0, and any users who have visited the app in the intervening 6 months will have had their cookie upgraded. [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Allow helpers directory to be overridden via ActionController::Base.helpers_dir #1424 [Sam Pohlenz]
-
-* Remove deprecated ActionController::Base#assign_default_content_type_and_charset
-
-* Changed the default of ActionView#render to assume partials instead of files when not given an options hash [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    # Instead of <%= render :partial => "account" %>
-    <%= render "account" %>
-
-    # Instead of <%= render :partial => "account", :locals => { :account => @buyer } %>
-    <%= render "account", :account => @buyer %>
-
-    # @account is an Account instance, so it uses the RecordIdentifier to replace
-    # <%= render :partial => "accounts/account", :locals => { :account => @account } %>
-    <%= render(@account) %>
-
-    # @posts is an array of Post instances, so it uses the RecordIdentifier to replace
-    # <%= render :partial => "posts/post", :collection => @posts %>
-    <%= render(@posts) %>
-
-* Remove deprecated render_component. Please use the plugin from http://github.com/rails/render_component/tree/master [Pratik Naik]
-
-* Fixed RedCloth and BlueCloth shouldn't preload. Instead just assume that they're available if you want to use textilize and markdown and let autoload require them [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-
-*2.2.2 (November 21st, 2008)*
-
-* I18n: translate number_to_human_size. Add storage_units: [Bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB] to your translations.  #1448 [Yaroslav Markin]
-
-* Restore backwards compatible functionality for setting relative_url_root.  Include deprecation
-
-* Switched the CSRF module to use the request content type to decide if the request is forgeable.  #1145 [Jeff Cohen]
-
-* Added :only and :except to map.resources to let people cut down on the number of redundant routes in an application. Typically only useful for huge routesets.  #1215 [Tom Stuart]
-
-   map.resources :products, :only => :show do |product|
-     product.resources :images, :except => :destroy
-   end
-
-* Added render :js for people who want to render inline JavaScript replies without using RJS [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed that polymorphic_url should compact given array #1317 [hiroshi]
-
-* Fixed the sanitize helper to avoid double escaping already properly escaped entities #683 [antonmos/Ryan McGeary]
-
-* Fixed that FormTagHelper generated illegal html if name contained square brackets #1238 [Vladimir Dobriakov]
-
-* Fix regression bug that made date_select and datetime_select raise a Null Pointer Exception when a nil date/datetime was passed and only month and year were displayed #1289 [Bernardo Padua/Tor Erik]
-
-* Simplified the logging format for parameters (don't include controller, action, and format as duplicates) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Remove the logging of the Session ID when the session store is CookieStore [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed regex in redirect_to to fully support URI schemes #1247 [Seth Fitzsimmons]
-
-* Fixed bug with asset timestamping when using relative_url_root #1265 [Joe Goldwasser]
-
-
-*2.2.0 [RC1] (October 24th, 2008)*
-
-* Fix incorrect closing CDATA delimiter and that HTML::Node.parse would blow up on unclosed CDATA sections [packagethief]
-
-* Added stale? and fresh_when methods to provide a layer of abstraction above request.fresh? and friends [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
-      def show_with_respond_to_block
-        @article = Article.find(params[:id])
-
-
-        # If the request sends headers that differs from the options provided to stale?, then
-        # the request is indeed stale and the respond_to block is triggered (and the options
-        # to the stale? call is set on the response).
-        #
-        # If the request headers match, then the request is fresh and the respond_to block is
-        # not triggered. Instead the default render will occur, which will check the last-modified
-        # and etag headers and conclude that it only needs to send a "304 Not Modified" instead
-        # of rendering the template.
-        if stale?(:last_modified => @article.published_at.utc, :etag => @article)
-          respond_to do |wants|
-            # normal response processing
-          end
-        end
-      end
-
-      def show_with_implied_render
-        @article = Article.find(params[:id])
-
-        # Sets the response headers and checks them against the request, if the request is stale
-        # (i.e. no match of either etag or last-modified), then the default render of the template happens.
-        # If the request is fresh, then the default render will return a "304 Not Modified"
-        # instead of rendering the template.
-        fresh_when(:last_modified => @article.published_at.utc, :etag => @article)
-      end
-    end
-
-
-* Added inline builder yield to atom_feed_helper tags where appropriate [Sam Ruby]. Example:
-
-    entry.summary :type => 'xhtml' do |xhtml|
-      xhtml.p pluralize(order.line_items.count, "line item")
-      xhtml.p "Shipped to #{order.address}"
-      xhtml.p "Paid by #{order.pay_type}"
-    end
-
-* Make PrototypeHelper#submit_to_remote a wrapper around PrototypeHelper#button_to_remote. [Tarmo Tänav]
-
-* Set HttpOnly for the cookie session store's cookie.  #1046
-
-* Added FormTagHelper#image_submit_tag confirm option #784 [Alastair Brunton]
-
-* Fixed FormTagHelper#submit_tag with :disable_with option wouldn't submit the button's value when was clicked #633 [Jose Fernandez]
-
-* Stopped logging template compiles as it only clogs up the log [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Changed the X-Runtime header to report in milliseconds [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Changed BenchmarkHelper#benchmark to report in milliseconds [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Changed logging format to be millisecond based and skip misleading stats [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Went from:
-
-    Completed in 0.10000 (4 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.04000 (40%) | DB: 0.00400 (4%) | 200 OK [http://example.com]
-
-  ...to:
-
-    Completed in 100ms (View: 40, DB: 4) | 200 OK [http://example.com]
-
-* Add support for shallow nesting of routes. #838 [S. Brent Faulkner]
-
-  Example :
-
-  map.resources :users, :shallow => true do |user|
-    user.resources :posts
-  end
-
-  - GET /users/1/posts (maps to PostsController#index action as usual)
-    named route "user_posts" is added as usual.
-
-  - GET /posts/2 (maps to PostsController#show action as if it were not nested)
-    Additionally, named route "post" is added too.
-
-* Added button_to_remote helper.  #3641 [Donald Piret, Tarmo Tänav]
-
-* Deprecate render_component. Please use render_component plugin from http://github.com/rails/render_component/tree/master [Pratik Naik]
-
-* Routes may be restricted to lists of HTTP methods instead of a single method or :any.  #407 [Brennan Dunn, Gaius Centus Novus]
-    map.resource :posts, :collection => { :search => [:get, :post] }
-    map.session 'session', :requirements => { :method => [:get, :post, :delete] }
-
-* Deprecated implicit local assignments when rendering partials [Josh Peek]
-
-* Introduce current_cycle helper method to return the current value without bumping the cycle.  #417 [Ken Collins]
-
-* Allow polymorphic_url helper to take url options. #880 [Tarmo Tänav]
-
-* Switched integration test runner to use Rack processor instead of CGI [Josh Peek]
-
-* Made AbstractRequest.if_modified_sense return nil if the header could not be parsed [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added back ActionController::Base.allow_concurrency flag [Josh Peek]
-
-* AbstractRequest.relative_url_root is no longer automatically configured by a HTTP header. It can now be set in your configuration environment with config.action_controller.relative_url_root [Josh Peek]
-
-* Update Prototype to 1.6.0.2 #599 [Patrick Joyce]
-
-* Conditional GET utility methods.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-    response.last_modified = @post.updated_at
-    response.etag = [:admin, @post, current_user]
-
-    if request.fresh?(response)
-      head :not_modified
-    else
-      # render ...
-    end
-
-* All 2xx requests are considered successful [Josh Peek]
-
-* Fixed that AssetTagHelper#compute_public_path shouldn't cache the asset_host along with the source or per-request proc's won't run [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Removed config.action_view.cache_template_loading, use config.cache_classes instead [Josh Peek]
-
-* Get buffer for fragment cache from template's @output_buffer [Josh Peek]
-
-* Set config.action_view.warn_cache_misses = true to receive a warning if you perform an action that results in an expensive disk operation that could be cached [Josh Peek]
-
-* Refactor template preloading. New abstractions include Renderable mixins and a refactored Template class [Josh Peek]
-
-* Changed ActionView::TemplateHandler#render API method signature to render(template, local_assigns = {}) [Josh Peek]
-
-* Changed PrototypeHelper#submit_to_remote to PrototypeHelper#button_to_remote to stay consistent with link_to_remote (submit_to_remote still works as an alias) #8994 [clemens]
-
-* Add :recursive option to javascript_include_tag and stylesheet_link_tag to be used along with :all. #480 [Damian Janowski]
-
-* Allow users to disable the use of the Accept header [Michael Koziarski]
-
-    The accept header is poorly implemented by browsers and causes strange
-	errors when used on public sites where crawlers make requests too.  You
-	can use formatted urls (e.g. /people/1.xml) to support API clients in a
-	much simpler way.
-
-	To disable the header you need to set:
-
-	config.action_controller.use_accept_header = false
-
-* Do not stat template files in production mode before rendering. You will no longer be able to modify templates in production mode without restarting the server [Josh Peek]
-
-* Deprecated TemplateHandler line offset [Josh Peek]
-
-* Allow caches_action to accept cache store options. #416. [José Valim]. Example:
-
-  caches_action :index, :redirected, :if => Proc.new { |c| !c.request.format.json? }, :expires_in => 1.hour
-
-* Remove define_javascript_functions, javascript_include_tag and friends are far superior. [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Deprecate :use_full_path render option. The supplying the option no longer has an effect [Josh Peek]
-
-* Add :as option to render a collection of partials with a custom local variable name. #509 [Simon Jefford, Pratik Naik]
-
-  render :partial => 'other_people', :collection => @people, :as => :person
-
-  This will let you access objects of @people as 'person' local variable inside 'other_people' partial template.
-
-* time_zone_select: support for regexp matching of priority zones. Resolves #195 [Ernie Miller]
-
-* Made ActionView::Base#render_file private [Josh Peek]
-
-* Refactor and simplify the implementation of assert_redirected_to.  Arguments are now normalised relative to the controller being tested,  not the root of the application.  [Michael Koziarski]
-
-  This could cause some erroneous test failures if you were redirecting between controllers
-  in different namespaces and wrote your assertions relative to the root of the application.
-
-* Remove follow_redirect from controller functional tests.
-
-	If you want to follow redirects you can use integration tests.  The functional test
-	version was only useful if you were using redirect_to :id=>...
-
-* Fix polymorphic_url with singleton resources.  #461 [Tammer Saleh]
-
-* Replaced TemplateFinder abstraction with ViewLoadPaths [Josh Peek]
-
-* Added block-call style to link_to [Sam Stephenson/David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    <% link_to(@profile) do %>
-      <strong><%= @profile.name %></strong> -- <span>Check it out!!</span>
-    <% end %>
-
-* Performance: integration test benchmarking and profiling.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Make caching more aware of mime types. Ensure request format is not considered while expiring cache.  [Jonathan del Strother]
-
-* Drop ActionController::Base.allow_concurrency flag [Josh Peek]
-
-* More efficient concat and capture helpers. Remove ActionView::Base.erb_variable.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added page.reload functionality. Resolves #277. [Sean Huber]
-
-* Fixed Request#remote_ip to only raise hell if the HTTP_CLIENT_IP and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR doesn't match (not just if they're both present) [Mark Imbriaco, Bradford Folkens]
-
-* Allow caches_action to accept a layout option [José Valim]
-
-* Added Rack processor [Ezra Zygmuntowicz, Josh Peek]
-
-
-*2.1.0 (May 31st, 2008)*
-
-* InstanceTag#default_time_from_options overflows to DateTime [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Fixed that forgery protection can be used without session tracking (Peter Jones) [#139]
-
-* Added session(:on) to turn session management back on in a controller subclass if the superclass turned it off (Peter Jones) [#136]
-
-* Change the request forgery protection to go by Content-Type instead of request.format so that you can't bypass it by POSTing to "#{request.uri}.xml" [Rick Olson]
-* InstanceTag#default_time_from_options with hash args uses Time.current as default; respects hash settings when time falls in system local spring DST gap [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* select_date defaults to Time.zone.today when config.time_zone is set [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Fixed that TextHelper#text_field would corrypt when raw HTML was used as the value (mchenryc, Kevin Glowacz) [#80]
-
-* Added ActionController::TestCase#rescue_action_in_public! to control whether the action under test should use the regular rescue_action path instead of simply raising the exception inline (great for error testing) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Reduce number of instance variables being copied from controller to view. [Pratik Naik]
-
-* select_datetime and select_time default to Time.zone.now when config.time_zone is set [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* datetime_select defaults to Time.zone.now when config.time_zone is set [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Remove ActionController::Base#view_controller_internals flag. [Pratik Naik]
-
-* Add conditional options to caches_page method. [Paul Horsfall]
-
-* Move missing template logic to ActionView. [Pratik Naik]
-
-* Introduce ActionView::InlineTemplate class. [Pratik Naik]
-
-* Automatically parse posted JSON content for Mime::JSON requests.  [Rick Olson]
-
-  POST /posts
-  {"post": {"title": "Breaking News"}}
-
-  def create
-    @post = Post.create params[:post]
-    # ...

-
-  - ActionController::Base#keep_flash (use flash.keep instead)
-  - ActionController::Base#expire_matched_fragments (just call expire_fragment with a regular expression)

-
-* Optimise named route generation when using positional arguments.  [Michael Koziarski]
-
-  This change delivers significant performance benefits for the most
-  common usage scenarios for modern rails applications by avoiding the

-* Prefix nested resource named routes with their action name, e.g. new_group_user_path(@group) instead of group_new_user_path(@group). The old nested action named route is deprecated in Rails 1.2.4.  #8558 [David Chelimsky]
-

-
-* Fixed that radio_button_tag should generate unique ids #3353 [Bob Silva, Rebecca, Josh Peek]
-
-* Fixed that HTTP authentication should work if the header is called REDIRECT_X_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION as well #6754 [Mislav Marohnić]
-
-* Don't mistakenly interpret the request uri as the query string.  #8731 [Pratik Naik, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Make ActionView#view_paths an attr_accessor for real this time.  Also, don't perform an unnecessary #compact on the @view_paths array in #initialize.  Closes #8582 [dasil003, julik, Rick Olson]
-
-* Tolerate missing content type on multipart file uploads. Fix for Safari 3.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Deprecation: remove pagination. Install the classic_pagination plugin for forward compatibility, or move to the superior will_paginate plugin.  #8157 [Josh Peek]
-
-* Action caching is limited to GET requests returning 200 OK status.  #3335 [tom@craz8.com, halfbyte, Dan Kubb, Josh Peek]
-
-* Improve Text Helper test coverage.  #7274 [Rob Sanheim, Josh Peek]
-
-* Improve helper test coverage.  #7208, #7212, #7215, #7233, #7234, #7235, #7236, #7237, #7238, #7241, #7243, #7244 [Rich Collins, Josh Peek]
-
-* Improve UrlRewriter tests.  #7207 [Rich Collins]
-

-
-* Assume html format when rendering partials in RJS. #8076 [Rick Olson]
-

-
-* Add support for assert_select_rjs with :show and :hide. #7780 [dchelimsky]
-
-* Make assert_select's failure messages clearer about what failed. #7779 [dchelimsky]
-

-
-* Rewind request body after reading it, if possible.  #8438 [s450r1]
-

-
-* Fix filtered parameter logging with nil parameter values.  #8422 [choonkeat]
-
-* Integration tests: alias xhr to xml_http_request and add a request_method argument instead of always using POST.  #7124 [Nik Wakelin, François Beausoleil, Wizard]
-
-* Document caches_action.  #5419 [Jarkko Laine]
-
-* Update to Prototype 1.5.1.  [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Allow routes to be decalred under namespaces [Tobias Lütke]:
-
-  map.namespace :admin do |admin|
-    admin.root :controller => "products"
-    admin.feed 'feed.xml', :controller => 'products', :action => 'feed', :format => 'xml'
-  end
-
-* Update to script.aculo.us 1.7.1_beta3.  [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* observe_form always sends the serialized form.  #5271 [Manfred Stienstra, normelton@gmail.com]
-
-* Parse url-encoded and multipart requests ourselves instead of delegating to CGI.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* select :include_blank option can be set to a string instead of true, which just uses an empty string.  #7664 [Wizard]
-
-* Added url_for usage on render :location, which allows for record identification [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    render :xml => person, :status => :created, :location => person
-
-  ...expands the location to person_url(person).
-
-* Introduce the request.body stream. Lazy-read to parse parameters rather than always setting RAW_POST_DATA. Reduces the memory footprint of large binary PUT requests.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add some performance enhancements to ActionView.
-
-  * Cache base_paths in @@cached_base_paths
-  * Cache template extensions in @@cached_template_extension
-  * Remove unnecessary rescues
-
-* Assume that rendered partials go by the HTML format by default
-
-  def my_partial
-    render :update do |page|
-      # in this order
-      # _foo.html.erb
-      # _foo.erb
-      # _foo.rhtml
-      page.replace :foo, :partial => 'foo'
-    end
-  end
-
-* Added record identifications to FormHelper#form_for and PrototypeHelper#remote_form_for [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    <% form_for(@post) do |f| %>
-      ...
-    <% end %>
-
-  This will expand to be the same as:
-
-    <% form_for :post, @post, :url => post_path(@post), :html => { :method => :put, :class => "edit_post", :id => "edit_post_45" } do |f| %>
-      ...
-    <% end %>
-
-  And for new records:
-
-    <% form_for(Post.new) do |f| %>
-      ...
-    <% end %>
-
-  This will expand to be the same as:
-
-    <% form_for :post, @post, :url => posts_path, :html => { :class => "new_post", :id => "new_post" } do |f| %>
-      ...
-    <% end %>
-
-* Rationalize route path escaping according to RFC 2396 section 3.3.  #7544, #8307. [Jeremy Kemper, Chris Roos, begemot, jugend]
-
-* Added record identification with polymorphic routes for ActionController::Base#url_for and ActionView::Base#url_for [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    redirect_to(post)         # => redirect_to(posts_url(post))         => Location: http://example.com/posts/1
-    link_to(post.title, post) # => link_to(post.title, posts_url(post)) => <a href="/posts/1">Hello world</a>
-
-  Any method that calls url_for on its parameters will automatically benefit from this.
-
-* Removed deprecated parameters_for_method_reference concept (legacy from before named routes) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Add ActionController::Routing::Helpers, a module to contain common URL helpers such as polymorphic_url. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Included the HttpAuthentication plugin as part of core (ActionController::HttpAuthentication::Basic) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Modernize documentation for form helpers. [Jeremy McAnally]
-
-* Add brief introduction to REST to the resources documentation. [fearoffish]
-
-* Fix various documentation typos throughout ActionPack. [Henrik N]
-
-* Enhance documentation and add examples for url_for. [Jeremy McAnally]
-
-* Fix documentation typo in routes. [Norbert Crombach, pam]
-
-* Sweep flash when filter chain is halted. [Caio Chassot <lists@v2studio.com>]
-
-* Fixed that content_tag with a block will just return the result instead of concate it if not used in a ERb view #7857, #7432 [michael.niessner]
-
-* Replace the current block/continuation filter chain handling by an implementation based on a simple loop.  #8226 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Update UrlWriter to accept :anchor parameter. Closes #6771. [Chris McGrath]
-
-* Added RecordTagHelper for using RecordIdentifier conventions on divs and other container elements [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    <% div_for(post) do %>     <div id="post_45" class="post">
-      <%= post.body %>           What a wonderful world!
-    <% end %>                  </div>
-
-* Added page[record] accessor to JavaScriptGenerator that relies on RecordIdentifier to find the right dom id [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    format.js do
-      # Calls: new Effect.fade('post_45');
-      render(:update) { |page| page[post].visual_effect(:fade) }
-    end
-
-* Added RecordIdentifier to enforce view conventions on records for dom ids, classes, and partial paths [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added map.namespace to deal with the common situation of admin sections and the like [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-    Before:
-
-      map.resources :products, :path_prefix => "admin", :controller => "admin/products", :collection => { :inventory => :get }, :member => { :duplicate => :post }
-      map.resources :tags, :name_prefix => 'admin_product_', :path_prefix => "admin/products/:product_id", :controller => "admin/product_tags"
-      map.resources :images, :name_prefix => 'admin_product_', :path_prefix => "admin/products/:product_id", :controller => "admin/product_images"
-      map.resources :variants, :name_prefix => 'admin_product_', :path_prefix => "admin/products/:product_id", :controller => "admin/product_variants"
-
-    After:
-
-      map.namespace(:admin) do |admin|
-        admin.resources :products,
-          :collection => { :inventory => :get },
-          :member     => { :duplicate => :post },
-          :has_many   => [ :tags, :images, :variants ]
-      end
-
-* Added :name_prefix as standard for nested resources [David Heinemeier Hansson]. WARNING: May be backwards incompatible with your app
-
-    Before:
-
-      map.resources :emails do |emails|
-        emails.resources :comments,    :name_prefix => "email_"
-        emails.resources :attachments, :name_prefix => "email_"
-      end
-
-    After:
-
-      map.resources :emails do |emails|
-        emails.resources :comments
-        emails.resources :attachments
-      end
-
-    This does mean that if you intended to have comments_url go to /emails/5/comments, then you'll have to set :name_prefix to nil explicitly.
-
-* Added :has_many and :has_one for declaring plural and singular resources beneath the current [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-    Before:
-
-      map.resources :notes do |notes|
-        notes.resources :comments
-        notes.resources :attachments
-        notes.resource :author
-      end
-
-    After:
-
-      map.resources :notes, :has_many => [ :comments, :attachments ], :has_one => :author
-
-* Added that render :xml will try to call to_xml if it can [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Makes these work:
-
-    render :xml => post
-    render :xml => comments
-
-* Added :location option to render so that the common pattern of rendering a response after creating a new resource is now a 1-liner [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-    render :xml => post.to_xml, :status => :created, :location => post_url(post)
-
-* Ensure that render_text only adds string content to the body of the response [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Return the string representation from an Xml Builder when rendering a partial. Closes #5044 [Tim Pope]
-
-* Fixed that parameters from XML should also be presented in a hash with indifferent access [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Tweak template format rules so that the ACCEPT header is only used if it's text/javascript.  This is so ajax actions without a :format param get recognized as Mime::JS. [Rick Olson]
-
-* The default respond_to blocks don't set a specific extension anymore, so that both 'show.rjs' and 'show.js.rjs' will work. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Allow layouts with extension of .html.erb.  Closes #8032 [Josh Knowles]
-
-* Change default respond_to templates for xml and rjs formats. [Rick Olson]
-
-  * Default xml template goes from #{action_name}.rxml => #{action_name}.xml.builder.
-  * Default rjs template goes from #{action_name}.rjs => #{action_name}.js.rjs.
-
-  You can still specify your old templates:
-
-    respond_to do |format|
-      format.xml do
-        render :action => "#{action_name}.rxml"
-      end
-    end
-
-* Fix WSOD due to modification of a formatted template extension so that requests to templates like 'foo.html.erb' fail on the second hit.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix WSOD when template compilation fails [Rick Olson]
-
-* Change ActionView template defaults.  Look for templates using the request format first, such as "show.html.erb" or "show.xml.builder", before looking for the old defaults like "show.erb" or "show.builder" [Rick Olson]
-
-* Highlight helper highlights one or many terms in a single pass.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Dropped the use of ; as a separator of non-crud actions on resources and went back to the vanilla slash. It was a neat idea, but lots of the non-crud actions turned out not to be RPC (as the ; was primarily intended to discourage), but legitimate sub-resources, like /parties/recent, which didn't deserve the uglification of /parties;recent. Further more, the semicolon caused issues with caching and HTTP authentication in Safari. Just Not Worth It [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added that FormTagHelper#submit_tag will return to its original state if the submit fails and you're using :disable_with [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Cleaned up, corrected, and mildly expanded ActionPack documentation.  Closes #7190 [Jeremy McAnally]
-
-* Small collection of ActionController documentation cleanups.  Closes #7319 [Jeremy McAnally]
-
-* Make sure the route expiry hash is constructed by comparing the to_param-ized values of each hash. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Allow configuration of the default action cache path for #caches_action calls.  [Rick Olson]
-
-  class ListsController < ApplicationController
-    caches_action :index, :cache_path => Proc.new { |controller|
-      controller.params[:user_id] ?
-        controller.send(:user_lists_url, c.params[:user_id]) :
-        controller.send(:lists_url) }
-  end
-
-* Performance: patch cgi/session/pstore to require digest/md5 once rather than per #initialize.  #7583 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Cookie session store: ensure that new sessions doesn't reuse data from a deleted session in the same request.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Deprecation: verification with :redirect_to => :named_route shouldn't be deprecated.  #7525 [Justin French]
-
-* Cookie session store: raise ArgumentError when :session_key is blank.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Deprecation: remove deprecated request, redirect, and dependency methods. Remove deprecated instance variables. Remove deprecated url_for(:symbol, *args) and redirect_to(:symbol, *args) in favor of named routes. Remove uses_component_template_root for toplevel components directory. Privatize deprecated render_partial and render_partial_collection view methods. Remove deprecated link_to_image, link_image_to, update_element_function, start_form_tag, and end_form_tag helper methods. Remove deprecated human_size helper alias.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Consistent public/protected/private visibility for chained methods.  #7813 [Dan Manges]
-
-* Prefer MIME constants to strings.  #7707 [Dan Kubb]
-
-* Allow array and hash query parameters. Array route parameters are converted/to/a/path as before.  #6765, #7047, #7462 [bgipsy, Jeremy McAnally, Dan Kubb, brendan]
-
-# Add a #dbman attr_reader for CGI::Session and make CGI::Session::CookieStore#generate_digest public so it's easy to generate digests
-using the cookie store's secret. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added Request#url that returns the complete URL used for the request [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Extract dynamic scaffolding into a plugin.  #7700 [Josh Peek]
-
-* Added user/password options for url_for to add http authentication in a URL [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed that FormTagHelper#text_area_tag should disregard :size option if it's not a string [Brendon Davidson]
-
-* Set the original button value in an attribute of the button when using the :disable_with key with submit_tag, so that the original can be restored later. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* session_enabled? works with session :off.  #6680 [Jonathan del Strother]
-
-* Added :port and :host handling to UrlRewriter (which unified url_for usage, regardless of whether it's called in view or controller) #7616 [alancfrancis]
-
-* Allow send_file/send_data to use a registered mime type as the :type parameter #7620 [jonathan]
-
-* Allow routing requirements on map.resource(s) #7633 [quixoten]. Example:
-
-  map.resources :network_interfaces, :requirements => { :id => /^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/ }
-
-* Cookie session store: empty and unchanged sessions don't write a cookie.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added helper(:all) as a way to include all helpers from app/helpers/**/*.rb in ApplicationController [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Integration tests: introduce methods for other HTTP methods.  #6353 [caboose]
-
-* Routing: better support for escaped values in route segments.  #7544 [Chris
-Roos]
-
-* Introduce a cookie-based session store as the Rails default. Sessions typically contain at most a user_id and flash message; both fit within the 4K cookie size limit. A secure message digest is included with the cookie to ensure data integrity (a user cannot alter his user_id without knowing the secret key included in the digest). If you have more than 4K of session data or don't want your data to be visible to the user, pick another session store.  Cookie-based sessions are dramatically faster than the alternatives.   [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-  Example config/environment.rb:
-    # Use an application-wide secret key and the default SHA1 message digest.
-    config.action_controller.session = { :secret => "can't touch this" }
-
-    # Store a secret key per user and employ a stronger message digest.
-    config.action_controller.session = {
-      :digest => 'SHA512',
-      :secret => Proc.new { User.current.secret_key }
-    }
-
-* Added .erb and .builder as preferred aliases to the now deprecated .rhtml and .rxml extensions [Chad Fowler]. This is done to separate the renderer from the mime type. .erb templates are often used to render emails, atom, csv, whatever. So labeling them .rhtml doesn't make too much sense. The same goes for .rxml, which can be used to build everything from HTML to Atom to whatever. .rhtml and .rxml will continue to work until Rails 3.0, though. So this is a slow phasing out. All generators and examples will start using the new aliases, though.
-
-* Added caching option to AssetTagHelper#stylesheet_link_tag and AssetTagHelper#javascript_include_tag [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    stylesheet_link_tag :all, :cache => true # when ActionController::Base.perform_caching is false =>
-      <link href="/stylesheets/style1.css"  media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
-      <link href="/stylesheets/styleB.css"  media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
-      <link href="/stylesheets/styleX2.css" media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
-
-    stylesheet_link_tag :all, :cache => true # when ActionController::Base.perform_caching is true =>
-      <link href="/stylesheets/all.css"  media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
-
-  ...when caching is on, all.css is the concatenation of style1.css, styleB.css, and styleX2.css.
-  Same deal for JavaScripts.
-
-* Work around the two connection per host browser limit: use asset%d.myapp.com to distribute asset requests among asset[0123].myapp.com. Use a DNS wildcard or CNAMEs to map these hosts to your asset server. See http://www.die.net/musings/page_load_time/ for background.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added default mime type for CSS (Mime::CSS) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added that rendering will automatically insert the etag header on 200 OK responses. The etag is calculated using MD5 of the response body. If a request comes in that has a matching etag, the response will be changed to a 304 Not Modified and the response body will be set to an empty string. [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added X-Runtime to all responses with the request run time [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Add Mime::Type convenience methods to check the current mime type. [Rick Olson]
-
-  request.format.html? # => true if Mime::HTML
-  request.format.jpg?  # => true if Mime::JPG
-
-  # ActionController sample usage:
-  # the session will be disabled for non html/ajax requests
-  session :off, :if => Proc.new { |req| !(req.format.html? || req.format.js?) }
-
-* Performance: patch cgi/session to require digest/md5 once rather than per #create_new_id.  [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Add a :url_based_filename => true option to ActionController::Streaming::send_file, which allows URL-based filenames.  [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Fix that FormTagHelper#submit_tag using :disable_with should trigger the onsubmit handler of its form if available [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fix #render_file so that TemplateError is called with the correct params and you don't get the WSOD.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix issue with deprecation messing up #template_root= usage.  Add #prepend_view_path and #append_view_path to allow modification of a copy of the
-superclass' view_paths.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Allow Controllers to have multiple view_paths instead of a single template_root.  Closes #2754 [John Long]
-
-* Add much-needed html-scanner tests.  Fixed CDATA parsing bug. [Rick Olson]
-
-* improve error message for Routing for named routes.  Closes #7346 [Rob Sanheim]
-
-* Added enhanced docs to routing assertions.  Closes #7359 [Rob Sanheim]
-
-* fix form_for example in ActionController::Resources documentation.  Closes #7362 [gnarg]
-
-* Make sure that the string returned by TextHelper#truncate is actually a string, not a char proxy -- that should only be used internally while working on a multibyte-safe way of truncating [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added FormBuilder#submit as a delegate for FormTagHelper#submit_tag [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Allow Routes to generate all urls for a set of options by specifying :generate_all => true. Allows caching to properly set or expire all paths for a resource. References #1739. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Change the query parser to map empty GET params to "" rather than nil. Closes #5694. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* date_select and datetime_select take a :default option.  #7052 [Nik Wakelin]
-    date_select "post", "written_on", :default => 3.days.from_now
-    date_select "credit_card", "bill_due", :default => { :day => 20 }
-
-* select :multiple => true suffixes the attribute name with [] unless already suffixed.  #6977 [nik.kakelin, ben, julik]
-
-* Improve routes documentation.  #7095 [zackchandler]
-
-* mail_to :encode => 'hex' also encodes the mailto: part of the href attribute as well as the linked email when no name is given.  #2061 [Jarkko Laine, pfc.pille@gmx.net]
-
-* Resource member routes require :id, eliminating the ambiguous overlap with collection routes.  #7229 [dkubb]
-
-* Remove deprecated assertions.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Change session restoration to allow namespaced models to be autoloaded. Closes #6348. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fix doubly appearing parameters due to string and symbol mixups. Closes #2551. [Anthony Eden]
-
-* Fix overly greedy rescues when loading helpers. Fixes #6268. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed NumberHelper#number_with_delimiter to use "." always for splitting the original number, not the delimiter parameter #7389 [ceefour]
-
-* Autolinking recognizes trailing and embedded . , : ;  #7354 [Jarkko Laine]
-
-* Make TextHelper::auto_link recognize URLs with colons in path correctly, fixes #7268.  [imajes]
-
-* Update to script.aculo.us 1.7.0.  [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Modernize cookie testing code, and increase coverage (Heckle++) #7101 [Kevin Clark]
-
-* Improve Test Coverage for ActionController::Routing::Route#matches_controller_and_action? (Heckle++) #7115 [Kevin Clark]
-

-
-  map.resource :account
-
-  GET /account
-  GET /account;edit
-  UPDATE /account
-  DELETE /account
-
-* respond_to recognizes JSON. render :json => @person.to_json automatically sets the content type and takes a :callback option to specify a client-side function to call using the rendered JSON as an argument.  #4185 [Scott Raymond, eventualbuddha]
-    # application/json response with body 'Element.show({:name: "David"})'
-    respond_to do |format|
-      format.json { render :json => { :name => "David" }.to_json, :callback => 'Element.show' }
-    end
-
-* Makes :discard_year work without breaking multi-attribute parsing in AR.  #1260, #3800 [sean@ardismg.com, jmartin@desertflood.com, stephen@touset.org, Bob Silva]
-
-* Adds html id attribute to date helper elements.  #1050, #1382 [mortonda@dgrmm.net, David North, Bob Silva]
-
-* Add :index and @auto_index capability to model driven date/time selects.  #847, #2655 [moriq, Doug Fales, Bob Silva]
-
-* Add :order to datetime_select, select_datetime, and select_date.  #1427 [Timothee Peignier, Patrick Lenz, Bob Silva]
-
-* Added time_select to work with time values in models. Update scaffolding.  #2489, #2833 [Justin Palmer, Andre Caum, Bob Silva]
-
-* Added :include_seconds to select_datetime, datetime_select and time_select.  #2998 [csn, Bob Silva]
-
-* All date/datetime selects can now accept an array of month names with :use_month_names. Allows for localization.  #363 [tomasj, Bob Silva]
-
-* Adds :time_separator to select_time and :date_separator to select_datetime. Preserves BC.  #3811 [Bob Silva]
-
-* Added map.root as an alias for map.connect '' [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added Request#format to return the format used for the request as a mime type. If no format is specified, the first Request#accepts type is used. This means you can stop using respond_to for anything else than responses [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    GET /posts/5.xml   | request.format => Mime::XML
-    GET /posts/5.xhtml | request.format => Mime::HTML
-    GET /posts/5       | request.format => request.accepts.first (usually Mime::HTML for browsers)
-
-* Added the option for extension aliases to mime type registration [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example (already in the default routes):
-
-    Mime::Type.register "text/html", :html, %w( application/xhtml+xml ), %w( xhtml )
-
-  ...will respond on both .html and .xhtml.
-
-* @response.redirect_url works with 201 Created responses: just return headers['Location'] rather than checking the response status.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added CSV to Mime::SET so that respond_to csv will work [Cody Fauser]
-
-* Fixed that HEAD should return the proper Content-Length header (that is, actually use @body.size, not just 0) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added GET-masquarading for HEAD, so request.method will return :get even for HEADs. This will help anyone relying on case request.method to automatically work with HEAD and map.resources will also allow HEADs to all GET actions. Rails automatically throws away the response content in a reply to HEAD, so you don't even need to worry about that. If you, for whatever reason, still need to distinguish between GET and HEAD in some edge case, you can use Request#head? and even Request.headers["REQUEST_METHOD"] for get the "real" answer. Closes #6694 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Update Routing to complain when :controller is not specified by a route. Closes #6669. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Ensure render_to_string cleans up after itself when an exception is raised.  #6658 [Rob Sanheim]
-
-* Extract template_changed_since? from compile_template? so plugins may override its behavior for non-file-based templates.  #6651 [Jeff Barczewski]
-
-* Update to Prototype and script.aculo.us [5579]. [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* simple_format helper doesn't choke on nil.  #6644 [jerry426]
-
-* Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc2 [5550] which makes it work in Opera again [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Reuse named route helper module between Routing reloads. Use remove_method to delete named route methods after each load. Since the module is never collected, this fixes a significant memory leak. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* ActionView::Base.erb_variable accessor names the buffer variable used to render templates. Defaults to _erbout; use _buf for erubis.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* assert_select_rjs :remove.  [Dylan Egan]
-
-* Always clear model associations from session.  #4795 [sd@notso.net, andylien@gmail.com]

-
-* Multipart form values may have a content type without being treated as uploaded files if they do not provide a filename.  #6401 [Andreas Schwarz, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* assert_response supports symbolic status codes.  #6569 [Kevin Clark]
-    assert_response :ok
-    assert_response :not_found
-    assert_response :forbidden
-
-* Cache parsed query parameters.  #6559 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Deprecate JavaScriptHelper#update_element_function, which is superseeded by RJS [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* pluralize helper interprets nil as zero.  #6474 [Tim Pope]
-
-* Fix invalid test fixture exposed by stricter Ruby 1.8.5 multipart parsing.  #6524 [Bob Silva]
-
-* Set ActionView::Base.default_form_builder once rather than passing the :builder option to every form or overriding the form helper methods.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Deprecate expire_matched_fragments. Use expire_fragment instead.  #6535 [Bob Silva]
-
-* Update to latest Prototype, which doesn't serialize disabled form elements, adds clone() to arrays, empty/non-string Element.update() and adds a fixes excessive error reporting in WebKit beta versions [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Deprecate start_form_tag and end_form_tag.  Use form_tag / '</form>' from now on.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added block-usage to PrototypeHelper#form_remote_tag, document block-usage of FormTagHelper#form_tag [Rick Olson]
-
-* Add a 0 margin/padding div around the hidden _method input tag that form_tag outputs.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added block-usage to TagHelper#content_tag [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-   <% content_tag :div, :class => "strong" %>
-     Hello world!
-   <% end %>
-
-  Will output:
-    <div class="strong">Hello world!</div>
-

-
-* Upgraded NumberHelper with number_to_phone support international formats to comply with ITU E.123 by supporting area codes with less than 3 digits, added precision argument to number_to_human_size (defaults to 1) #6421 [Bob Silva]
-
-* Fixed that setting RAILS_ASSET_ID to "" should not add a trailing slash after assets #6454 [Bob Silva/chrismear]
-
-* Force *_url named routes to show the host in ActionView [Rick Olson]
-
-  <%= url_for ... %> # no host
-  <%= foo_path %>    # no host
-  <%= foo_url %>     # host!
-
-* Add support for converting blocks into function arguments to JavaScriptGenerator#call and JavaScriptProxy#call. [Sam Stephenson]
-

-
-* Add <%= escape_once html %> to escape html while leaving any currently escaped entities alone.  Fix button_to double-escaping issue. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix double-escaped entities, such as &amp;amp;, &amp;#123;, etc. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix deprecation warnings when rendering the template error template. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fix routing to correctly determine when generation fails. Closes #6300. [psross].
-
-* Fix broken assert_generates when extra keys are being checked. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Replace KCODE checks with String#chars for truncate.  Closes #6385 [Manfred Stienstra]
-
-* Make page caching respect the format of the resource that is being requested even if the current route is the default route so that, e.g. posts.rss is not transformed by url_for to '/' and subsequently cached as '/index.html' when it should be cached as '/posts.rss'.  [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Use String#chars in TextHelper::excerpt. Closes #6386 [Manfred Stienstra]
-
-* Install named routes into ActionView::Base instead of proxying them to the view via helper_method. Closes #5932. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Update to latest Prototype and script.aculo.us trunk versions [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Fix relative URL root matching problems. [Mark Imbriaco]
-
-* Fix filter skipping in controller subclasses.  #5949, #6297, #6299 [Martin Emde]
-
-* render_text may optionally append to the response body. render_javascript appends by default. This allows you to chain multiple render :update calls by setting @performed_render = false between them (awaiting a better public API).  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Rename test assertion to prevent shadowing. Closes #6306. [psross]
-
-* Fixed that NumberHelper#number_to_delimiter should respect precision of higher than two digits #6231 [Philip Hallstrom]
-
-* Fixed that FormHelper#radio_button didn't respect an :id being passed in #6266 [evansj]
-
-* Added an html_options hash parameter to javascript_tag() and update_page_tag() helpers #6311 [tzaharia]. Example:
-
-    update_page_tag :defer => 'true' { |page| ... }
-
-  Gives:
-
-    <script defer="true" type="text/javascript">...</script>
-
-  Which is needed for dealing with the IE6 DOM when it's not yet fully loaded.
-
-* Fixed that rescue template path shouldn't be hardcoded, then it's easier to hook in your own #6295 [Mike Naberezny]
-
-* Fixed escaping of backslashes in JavaScriptHelper#escape_javascript #6302 [sven@c3d2.de]
-
-* Fixed that some 500 rescues would cause 500's themselves because the response had not yet been generated #6329 [cmselmer]
-
-* respond_to :html doesn't assume .rhtml.  #6281 [Hampton Catlin]
-
-* Fixed some deprecation warnings in ActionPack [Rick Olson]
-
-* assert_select_rjs decodes escaped unicode chars since the Javascript generators encode them.  #6240 [japgolly]
-
-* Deprecation: @cookies, @headers, @request, @response will be removed after 1.2. Use the corresponding method instead.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Make the :status parameter expand to the default message for that status code if it is an integer. Also support symbol statuses. [Jamis Buck]. Examples:
-
-    head :status => 404        # expands to "404 Not Found"
-    head :status => :not_found # expands to "404 Not Found"
-    head :status => :created   # expands to "201 Created"
-
-* Add head(options = {}) for responses that have no body. [Jamis Buck]. Examples:
-
-    head :status => 404 # return an empty response with a 404 status
-    head :location => person_path(@person), :status => 201
-
-* Fix bug that kept any before_filter except the first one from being able to halt the before_filter chain.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* strip_links is case-insensitive.  #6285 [tagoh, Bob Silva]
-
-* Clear the cache of possible controllers whenever Routes are reloaded. [Nicholas Seckar]
-

-
-* Update CGI process to allow sessions to contain namespaced models. Closes #4638. [dfelstead@site5.com]

-
-* Rescue Errno::ECONNRESET to handle an unexpectedly closed socket connection. Improves SCGI reliability.  #3368, #6226 [sdsykes, fhanshaw@vesaria.com]
-
-* Added that respond_to blocks will automatically set the content type to be the same as is requested [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    respond_to do |format|
-      format.html { render :text => "I'm being sent as text/html" }
-      format.rss  { render :text => "I'm being sent as application/rss+xml" }
-      format.atom { render :text => "I'm being sent as application/xml", :content_type => Mime::XML }
-    end
-
-* Added utf-8 as the default charset for all renders. You can change this default using ActionController::Base.default_charset=(encoding) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added proper getters and setters for content type and charset [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example of what we used to do:
-
-    response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/atom+xml; charset=utf-8"
-
-  ...now:
-
-    response.content_type = Mime::ATOM
-    response.charset      = "utf-8"
-

-
-    Test it with...
-
-      assert_select_rjs :chained_replace
-      assert_select_rjs :chained_replace, "test1"
-
-      assert_select_rjs :chained_replace_html
-      assert_select_rjs :chained_replace_html, "test2"
-

-
-* Update UrlWriter to support :only_path. [Nicholas Seckar, Dave Thomas]

-
-    link_to("Hider", nil, :class => "hider_link") { |p| p[:something].hide }
-
-  ...can be written like this:
-
-    link_to("Hider", :class => "hider_link") { |p| p[:something].hide }
-
-* Update to script.aculo.us 1.6.3 [Thomas Fuchs]
-

-    page['foo']['style']['color']         # => $('blank_slate').style.color;
-    page['foo']['style']['color'] = 'red' # => $('blank_slate').style.color = 'red';
-    page['foo']['style'].color = 'red'    # => $('blank_slate').style.color = 'red';

-* 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)" [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Integration tests: thoroughly test ActionController::Integration::Session.  #6022 [Kevin Clark]
-    (tests skipped unless you `gem install mocha`)
-
-* Added deprecation language for pagination which will become a plugin by Rails 2.0 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added deprecation language for in_place_editor and auto_complete_field that both pieces will become plugins by Rails 2.0 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Deprecated all of ActionController::Dependencies. All dependency loading is now handled from Active Support [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added assert_select* for CSS selector-based testing (deprecates assert_tag) #5936 [assaf.arkin@gmail.com]
-
-* radio_button_tag generates unique id attributes.  #3353 [Bob Silva, somekool@gmail.com]
-
-* strip_tags passes through blank args such as nil or "".  #2229, #6702 [duncan@whomwah.com, dharana]
-

-
-* Deprecation: update docs. #5998 [Jakob Skjerning, Kevin Clark]
-
-* Make auto_link parse a greater subset of valid url formats. [Jamis Buck]
-

-
-* Tighten rescue clauses.  #5985 [james@grayproductions.net]
-
-* Fix send_data documentation typo.  #5982 [brad@madriska.com]
-
-* Switch to using FormEncodedPairParser for parsing request parameters. [Nicholas Seckar, David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* respond_to .html now always renders #{action_name}.rhtml so that registered custom template handlers do not override it in priority. Custom mime types require a block and throw proper error now. [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Deprecation: test deprecated instance vars in partials. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add UrlWriter to allow writing urls from Mailers and scripts. [Nicholas Seckar]

-* Add support for the param_name parameter to the auto_complete_field helper. #5026 [david.a.williams@gmail.com]
-
-* Deprecation! @params, @session, @flash will be removed after 1.2. Use the corresponding instance methods instead. You'll get printed warnings during tests and logged warnings in dev mode when you access either instance variable directly. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Make Routing noisy when an anchor regexp is assigned to a segment. #5674 [François Beausoleil]
-
-* Added months and years to the resolution of DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words, such that "60 days ago" becomes "2 months ago" #5611 [pjhyett@gmail.com]

-
-* Restrict Request Method hacking with ?_method to POST requests.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix bug when passing multiple options to SimplyRestful, like :new => { :preview => :get, :draft => :get }.  [Rick Olson, Josh Susser, Lars Pind]

-
-* Fixed the new_#{resource}_url route and added named route tests for Simply Restful.  [Rick Olson]
-

-
-    map.resources :messages
-    map.resources :messages, :comments
-    map.resources :messages, :new => { :preview => :post }
-
-* Fixed that integration simulation of XHRs should set Accept header as well [Edward Frederick]

-
-  <% form_for 'post[]', @post do |f| -%>

-
-* Update render :partial documentation. #5646 [matt@mattmargolis.net]

-
-* Avoid naming collision among compiled view methods. [Jeremy Kemper]
-

-
-* Remove problematic control chars in rescue template. #5316 [Stefan Kaes]
-

-
-* Escape the path before routing recognition. #3671
-

-
-* Fix documentation for with_routing to reflect new reality. #5281 [rramdas@gmail.com]
-
-* Rewind readable CGI params so others may reread them (such as CGI::Session when passing the session id in a multipart form).  #210 [mklame@atxeu.com, matthew@walker.wattle.id.au]
-
-* Added Mime::TEXT (text/plain) and Mime::ICS (text/calendar) as new default types [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added Mime::Type.register(string, symbol, synonyms = []) for adding new custom mime types [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example: Mime::Type.register("image/gif", :gif)
-

-
-* Add :status option to send_data and send_file. Defaults to '200 OK'.  #5243 [Manfred Stienstra <m.stienstra@fngtps.com>]
-
-* Routing rewrite. Simpler, faster, easier to understand. The published API for config/routes.rb is unchanged, but nearly everything else is different, so expect breakage in plugins and libs that try to fiddle with routes. [Nicholas Seckar, Jamis Buck]
-
-  map.connect '/foo/:id', :controller => '...', :action => '...'
-  map.connect '/foo/:id.:format', :controller => '...', :action => '...'
-  map.connect '/foo/:id', ..., :conditions => { :method => :get }
-
-* Cope with missing content type and length headers. Parse parameters from multipart and urlencoded request bodies only. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Accept multipart PUT parameters. #5235 [guy.naor@famundo.com]
-
-* Added interrogation of params[:format] to determine Accept type. If :format is specified and matches a declared extension, like "rss" or "xml", that mime type will be put in front of the accept handler. This means you can link to the same action from different extensions and use that fact to determine output [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-  class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
-    def index
-      @posts = Post.find :all
-
-      respond_to do |format|
-        format.html
-        format.xml { render :xml => @posts.to_xml }
-        format.rss { render :action => "feed.rxml" }
-      end
-    end
-  end
-
-  # returns HTML when requested by a browser, since the browser
-  # has the HTML mimetype at the top of its priority list
-  Accept: text/html
-  GET /weblog
-
-  # returns the XML
-  Accept: application/xml
-  GET /weblog
-
-  # returns the HTML
-  Accept: application/xml
-  GET /weblog.html
-
-  # returns the XML
-  Accept: text/html
-  GET /weblog.xml
-
-  All this relies on the fact that you have a route that includes .:format.
-
-* Expanded :method option in FormTagHelper#form_tag, FormHelper#form_for, PrototypeHelper#remote_form_for, PrototypeHelper#remote_form_tag, and PrototypeHelper#link_to_remote to allow for verbs other than GET and POST by automatically creating a hidden form field named _method, which will simulate the other verbs over post [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added :method option to UrlHelper#link_to, which allows for using other verbs than GET for the link. This replaces the :post option, which is now deprecated. Example: link_to "Destroy", person_url(:id => person), :method => :delete [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* follow_redirect doesn't complain about being redirected to the same controller. #5153 [dymo@mk.ukrtelecom.ua]

-
-* Fix NoMethodError when parsing params like &&. [Adam Greenfield]
-
-* Fix flip flopped logic in docs for url_for's :only_path option. Closes #4998. [esad@esse.at]
-
-* form.text_area handles the :size option just like the original text_area (:size => '60x10' becomes cols="60" rows="10").  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Excise ingrown code from FormOptionsHelper#options_for_select. #5008 [anonymous]
-
-* Small fix in routing to allow dynamic routes (broken after [4242]) [Rick Olson]
-
-    map.connect '*path', :controller => 'files', :action => 'show'
-
-* Replace alias method chaining with Module#alias_method_chain. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-

-
-* Use #flush between switching from #write to #syswrite. Closes #4907. [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* Documentation fix: integration test scripts don't require integration_test. Closes #4914. [Frederick Ros <sl33p3r@free.fr>]

-
-  error_messages_for :account, :user, :subscription, :object_name => :account

-
-* Update layout and content_for documentation to use yield rather than magic @content_for instance variables. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Fix assert_redirected_to tests according to real-world usage.  Also, don't fail if you add an extra :controller option: [Rick Olson]
-
-    redirect_to :action => 'new'
-    assert_redirected_to :controller => 'monkeys', :action => 'new'
-
-* Cache CgiRequest#request_parameters so that multiple calls don't re-parse multipart data. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Diff compared routing options.  Allow #assert_recognizes to take a second arg as a hash to specify optional request method [Rick Olson]
-
-    assert_recognizes({:controller => 'users', :action => 'index'}, 'users')
-    assert_recognizes({:controller => 'users', :action => 'create'}, {:path => 'users', :method => :post})
-
-* Diff compared options with #assert_redirected_to [Rick Olson]
-
-* Add support in routes for semicolon delimited "subpaths", like /books/:id;:action [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Change link_to_function and button_to_function to (optionally) take an update_page block instead of a JavaScript string. Closes #4804. [zraii@comcast.net, Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Fixed that remote_form_for can leave out the object parameter and default to the instance variable of the object_name, just like form_for [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Modify routing so that you can say :require => { :method => :post } for a route, and the route will never be selected unless the request method is POST. Only works for route recognition, not for route generation. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added :add_headers option to verify which merges a hash of name/value pairs into the response's headers hash if the prerequisites cannot be satisfied. [Sam Stephenson]
-  ex. verify :only => :speak, :method => :post,
-             :render => { :status => 405, :text => "Must be post" },
-             :add_headers => { "Allow" => "POST" }
-
-* Added ActionController.filter_parameter_logging that makes it easy to remove passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information from being logged when a request is handled #1897 [jeremye@bsa.ca.gov]

-* [DOCS] fix reference to ActionController::Macros::AutoComplete for #text_field_with_auto_complete. Closes #2578 [Jan Prill]
-
-* Make sure html_document is reset between integration test requests. [ctm]
-
-* Set session to an empty hash if :new_session => false and no session cookie or param is present. CGI::Session was raising an unrescued ArgumentError.  [Josh Susser]
-
-* Fix assert_redirected_to bug where redirecting from a nested to to a top-level controller incorrectly added the current controller's nesting.  Closes #6128.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Ensure render :json => ... skips the layout.  #6808 [Josh Peek]
-
-* Silence log_error deprecation warnings from inspecting deprecated instance variables.  [Nate Wiger]
-
-* Only cache GET requests with a 200 OK response.  #6514, #6743 [RSL, anamba]
-
-* Correctly report which filter halted the chain.  #6699 [Martin Emde]
-
-* respond_to recognizes JSON. render :json => @person.to_json automatically sets the content type and takes a :callback option to specify a client-side function to call using the rendered JSON as an argument.  #4185 [Scott Raymond, eventualbuddha]
-    # application/json response with body 'Element.show({:name: "David"})'
-    respond_to do |format|
-      format.json { render :json => { :name => "David" }.to_json, :callback => 'Element.show' }
-    end
-
-* Makes :discard_year work without breaking multi-attribute parsing in AR.  #1260, #3800 [sean@ardismg.com, jmartin@desertflood.com, stephen@touset.org, Bob Silva]
-
-* Adds html id attribute to date helper elements.  #1050, #1382 [mortonda@dgrmm.net, David North, Bob Silva]
-
-* Add :index and @auto_index capability to model driven date/time selects.  #847, #2655 [moriq, Doug Fales, Bob Silva]
-
-* Add :order to datetime_select, select_datetime, and select_date.  #1427 [Timothee Peignier, Patrick Lenz, Bob Silva]

-
-* Adds :time_separator to select_time and :date_separator to select_datetime. Preserves BC.  #3811 [Bob Silva]
-
-* @response.redirect_url works with 201 Created responses: just return headers['Location'] rather than checking the response status.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed that HEAD should return the proper Content-Length header (that is, actually use @body.size, not just 0) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added GET-masquarading for HEAD, so request.method will return :get even for HEADs. This will help anyone relying on case request.method to automatically work with HEAD and map.resources will also allow HEADs to all GET actions. Rails automatically throws away the response content in a reply to HEAD, so you don't even need to worry about that. If you, for whatever reason, still need to distinguish between GET and HEAD in some edge case, you can use Request#head? and even Request.headers["REQUEST_METHOD"] for get the "real" answer. Closes #6694 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-
-*1.13.0 RC1* (r5619, November 22nd, 2006)
-

-
-* Update to Prototype and script.aculo.us [5579]. [Sam Stephenson, Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* simple_format helper doesn't choke on nil.  #6644 [jerry426]
-
-* Reuse named route helper module between Routing reloads. Use remove_method to delete named route methods after each load. Since the module is never collected, this fixes a significant memory leak. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Deprecate standalone components.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Always clear model associations from session.  #4795 [sd@notso.net, andylien@gmail.com]
-
-* Remove JavaScriptLiteral in favor of ActiveSupport::JSON::Variable. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Sync ActionController::StatusCodes::STATUS_CODES with http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes.  #6586 [dkubb]
-
-* Multipart form values may have a content type without being treated as uploaded files if they do not provide a filename.  #6401 [Andreas Schwarz, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* assert_response supports symbolic status codes.  #6569 [Kevin Clark]
-    assert_response :ok
-    assert_response :not_found
-    assert_response :forbidden
-
-* Cache parsed query parameters.  #6559 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Deprecate JavaScriptHelper#update_element_function, which is superseeded by RJS [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Fix invalid test fixture exposed by stricter Ruby 1.8.5 multipart parsing.  #6524 [Bob Silva]
-
-* Set ActionView::Base.default_form_builder once rather than passing the :builder option to every form or overriding the form helper methods.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Deprecate expire_matched_fragments. Use expire_fragment instead.  #6535 [Bob Silva]
-
-* Deprecate start_form_tag and end_form_tag.  Use form_tag / '</form>' from now on.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added block-usage to PrototypeHelper#form_remote_tag, document block-usage of FormTagHelper#form_tag [Rick Olson]
-
-* Add a 0 margin/padding div around the hidden _method input tag that form_tag outputs.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added block-usage to TagHelper#content_tag [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-   <% content_tag :div, :class => "strong" %>
-     Hello world!
-   <% end %>
-
-  Will output:
-    <div class="strong">Hello world!</div>
-
-* Deprecated UrlHelper#link_to_image and UrlHelper#link_to :post => true #6409 [Bob Silva]
-
-* Upgraded NumberHelper with number_to_phone support international formats to comply with ITU E.123 by supporting area codes with less than 3 digits, added precision argument to number_to_human_size (defaults to 1) #6421 [Bob Silva]
-
-* Fixed that setting RAILS_ASSET_ID to "" should not add a trailing slash after assets #6454 [Bob Silva/chrismear]
-
-* Force *_url named routes to show the host in ActionView [Rick Olson]
-
-  <%= url_for ... %> # no host
-  <%= foo_path %>    # no host
-  <%= foo_url %>     # host!
-
-* Add support for converting blocks into function arguments to JavaScriptGenerator#call and JavaScriptProxy#call. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Add JavaScriptGenerator#literal for wrapping a string in an object whose #to_json is the string itself. [Sam Stephenson]
-

-
-* Fix double-escaped entities, such as &amp;amp;, &amp;#123;, etc. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix routing to correctly determine when generation fails. Closes #6300. [psross].
-
-* Fix broken assert_generates when extra keys are being checked. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Replace KCODE checks with String#chars for truncate.  Closes #6385 [Manfred Stienstra]
-
-* Make page caching respect the format of the resource that is being requested even if the current route is the default route so that, e.g. posts.rss is not transformed by url_for to '/' and subsequently cached as '/index.html' when it should be cached as '/posts.rss'.  [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Use String#chars in TextHelper::excerpt. Closes #6386 [Manfred Stienstra]
-
-* Fix relative URL root matching problems. [Mark Imbriaco]
-
-* Fix filter skipping in controller subclasses.  #5949, #6297, #6299 [Martin Emde]
-
-* render_text may optionally append to the response body. render_javascript appends by default. This allows you to chain multiple render :update calls by setting @performed_render = false between them (awaiting a better public API).  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Rename test assertion to prevent shadowing. Closes #6306. [psross]
-
-* Fixed that NumberHelper#number_to_delimiter should respect precision of higher than two digits #6231 [Philip Hallstrom]
-
-* Fixed that FormHelper#radio_button didn't respect an :id being passed in #6266 [evansj]
-
-* Added an html_options hash parameter to javascript_tag() and update_page_tag() helpers #6311 [tzaharia]. Example:
-
-    update_page_tag :defer => 'true' { |page| ... }
-
-  Gives:
-
-    <script defer="true" type="text/javascript">...</script>
-
-  Which is needed for dealing with the IE6 DOM when it's not yet fully loaded.
-
-* Fixed that rescue template path shouldn't be hardcoded, then it's easier to hook in your own #6295 [Mike Naberezny]
-
-* Fixed escaping of backslashes in JavaScriptHelper#escape_javascript #6302 [sven@c3d2.de]
-
-* Fixed that some 500 rescues would cause 500's themselves because the response had not yet been generated #6329 [cmselmer]
-
-* respond_to :html doesn't assume .rhtml.  #6281 [Hampton Catlin]
-
-* Fixed some deprecation warnings in ActionPack [Rick Olson]
-
-* assert_select_rjs decodes escaped unicode chars since the Javascript generators encode them.  #6240 [japgolly]
-
-* Deprecation: @cookies, @headers, @request, @response will be removed after 1.2. Use the corresponding method instead.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Make the :status parameter expand to the default message for that status code if it is an integer. Also support symbol statuses. [Jamis Buck]. Examples:
-
-    head :status => 404        # expands to "404 Not Found"
-    head :status => :not_found # expands to "404 Not Found"
-    head :status => :created   # expands to "201 Created"
-
-* Add head(options = {}) for responses that have no body. [Jamis Buck]. Examples:
-
-    head :status => 404 # return an empty response with a 404 status
-    head :location => person_path(@person), :status => 201
-
-* Fix bug that kept any before_filter except the first one from being able to halt the before_filter chain.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* strip_links is case-insensitive.  #6285 [tagoh, Bob Silva]
-
-* Clear the cache of possible controllers whenever Routes are reloaded. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Filters overhaul including meantime filter support using around filters + blocks.  #5949 [Martin Emde, Roman Le Negrate, Stefan Kaes, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Update CGI process to allow sessions to contain namespaced models. Closes #4638. [dfelstead@site5.com]
-
-* Fix routing to respect user provided requirements and defaults when assigning default routing options (such as :action => 'index'). Closes #5950. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Rescue Errno::ECONNRESET to handle an unexpectedly closed socket connection. Improves SCGI reliability.  #3368, #6226 [sdsykes, fhanshaw@vesaria.com]
-
-* Added that respond_to blocks will automatically set the content type to be the same as is requested [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    respond_to do |format|
-      format.html { render :text => "I'm being sent as text/html" }
-      format.rss  { render :text => "I'm being sent as application/rss+xml" }
-      format.atom { render :text => "I'm being sent as application/xml", :content_type => Mime::XML }
-    end
-
-* Added utf-8 as the default charset for all renders. You can change this default using ActionController::Base.default_charset=(encoding) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added proper getters and setters for content type and charset [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example of what we used to do:
-
-    response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/atom+xml; charset=utf-8"
-
-  ...now:
-
-    response.content_type = Mime::ATOM
-    response.charset      = "utf-8"
-
-* Declare file extensions exempt from layouts.  #6219 [brandon]
-    Example: ActionController::Base.exempt_from_layout 'rpdf'
-
-* Add chained replace/update support for assert_select_rjs [Rick Olson]
-
-    Given RJS like...
-
-      page['test1'].replace "<div id=\"1\">foo</div>"
-      page['test2'].replace_html "<div id=\"2\">foo</div>"
-
-    Test it with...
-
-      assert_select_rjs :chained_replace
-      assert_select_rjs :chained_replace, "test1"
-
-      assert_select_rjs :chained_replace_html
-      assert_select_rjs :chained_replace_html, "test2"
-
-* Load helpers in alphabetical order for consistency. Resolve cyclic javascript_helper dependency.  #6132, #6178 [choonkeat@gmail.com]
-
-* Skip params with empty names, such as the &=Save query string from <input type="submit"/>.  #2569 [Manfred Stienstra, raphinou@yahoo.com]
-
-* Fix assert_tag so that :content => "foo" does not match substrings, but only exact strings. Use :content => /foo/ to match substrings. #2799 [Eric Hodel]
-
-* Update JavaScriptGenerator#show/hide/toggle/remove to new Prototype syntax for multiple ids,  #6068 [petermichaux@gmail.com]
-
-* Update UrlWriter to support :only_path. [Nicholas Seckar, Dave Thomas]
-
-* Fixed JavaScriptHelper#link_to_function and JavaScriptHelper#button_to_function to have the script argument be optional [David Heinemeier Hansson]. So what used to require a nil, like this:
-
-    link_to("Hider", nil, :class => "hider_link") { |p| p[:something].hide }
-
-  ...can be written like this:
-
-    link_to("Hider", :class => "hider_link") { |p| p[:something].hide }
-
-* Added access to nested attributes in RJS #4548 [richcollins@gmail.com]. Examples:
-
-    page['foo']['style']                  # => $('foo').style;
-    page['foo']['style']['color']         # => $('blank_slate').style.color;
-    page['foo']['style']['color'] = 'red' # => $('blank_slate').style.color = 'red';
-    page['foo']['style'].color = 'red'    # => $('blank_slate').style.color = 'red';
-
-* Fixed that AssetTagHelper#image_tag and others using compute_public_path should not modify the incoming source argument (closes #5102) [eule@space.ch]
-
-* Deprecated the auto-appending of .png to AssetTagHelper#image_tag calls that doesn't have an extension [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-

-
-* Fixed TextHelper#simple_format to deal with multiple single returns within a single paragraph #5835 [moriq@moriq.com]
-
-* Fixed TextHelper#pluralize to handle 1 as a string #5909 [rails@bencurtis.com]
-
-* 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)" [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added deprecation language for pagination which will become a plugin by Rails 2.0 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added deprecation language for in_place_editor and auto_complete_field that both pieces will become plugins by Rails 2.0 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Deprecated all of ActionController::Dependencies. All dependency loading is now handled from Active Support [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added assert_select* for CSS selector-based testing (deprecates assert_tag) #5936 [assaf.arkin@gmail.com]
-
-* radio_button_tag generates unique id attributes.  #3353 [Bob Silva, somekool@gmail.com]
-
-* strip_tags passes through blank args such as nil or "".  #2229, #6702 [duncan@whomwah.com, dharana]
-
-* Cleanup assert_tag :children counting.  #2181 [jamie@bravenet.com]
-
-* button_to accepts :method so you can PUT and DELETE with it.  #6005 [Dan Webb]
-
-* Update sanitize text helper to strip plaintext tags, and <img src="javascript:bang">.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Add routing tests to assert that RoutingError is raised when conditions aren't met.  Closes #6016 [Nathan Witmer]
-
-* Make auto_link parse a greater subset of valid url formats. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Integration tests: headers beginning with X aren't excluded from the HTTP_ prefix, so X-Requested-With becomes HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH as expected. [Mike Clark]
-
-* Switch to using FormEncodedPairParser for parsing request parameters. [Nicholas Seckar, David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* respond_to .html now always renders #{action_name}.rhtml so that registered custom template handlers do not override it in priority. Custom mime types require a block and throw proper error now. [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Deprecation: test deprecated instance vars in partials. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add UrlWriter to allow writing urls from Mailers and scripts. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Relax Routing's anchor pattern warning; it was preventing use of [^/] inside restrictions. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Add controller_paths variable to Routing. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fix assert_redirected_to issue with named routes for module controllers.  [Rick Olson]
-

-
-* Add RoutingError exception when RouteSet fails to generate a path from a Named Route. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Replace Reloadable with Reloadable::Deprecated. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Deprecation: check whether instance variables have been monkeyed with before assigning them to deprecation proxies. Raises a RuntimeError if so. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add support for the param_name parameter to the auto_complete_field helper. #5026 [david.a.williams@gmail.com]
-
-* Deprecation! @params, @session, @flash will be removed after 1.2. Use the corresponding instance methods instead. You'll get printed warnings during tests and logged warnings in dev mode when you access either instance variable directly. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Make Routing noisy when an anchor regexp is assigned to a segment. #5674 [François Beausoleil]
-
-* Added months and years to the resolution of DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words, such that "60 days ago" becomes "2 months ago" #5611 [pjhyett@gmail.com]
-
-* Make controller_path available as an instance method.  #5724 [jmckible@gmail.com]
-
-* Update query parser to support adjacent hashes. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Make action caching aware of different formats for the same action so that, e.g.  foo.xml is cached separately from foo.html. Implicitly set content type when reading in cached content with mime revealing extensions so the entire onous isn't on the webserver. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Restrict Request Method hacking with ?_method to POST requests.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed the new_#{resource}_url route and added named route tests for Simply Restful.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added map.resources from the Simply Restful plugin [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples (the API has changed to use plurals!):
-
-    map.resources :messages
-    map.resources :messages, :comments
-    map.resources :messages, :new => { :preview => :post }
-
-* Fixed that integration simulation of XHRs should set Accept header as well [Edward Frederick]
-
-* TestRequest#reset_session should restore a TestSession, not a hash [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Don't search a load-path of '.' for controller files [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Update integration.rb to require test_process explicitly instead of via Dependencies. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed that you can still access the flash after the flash has been reset in reset_session.  Closes #5584 [lmarlow]
-
-* Allow form_for and fields_for to work with indexed form inputs.  [Jeremy Kemper, Matt Lyon]
-
-  <% form_for 'post[]', @post do |f| -%>
-  <% end -%>
-
-* Remove leak in development mode by replacing define_method with module_eval. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Provide support for decimal columns to form helpers. Closes #5672. [Dave Thomas]
-
-* Pass :id => nil or :class => nil to error_messages_for to supress that html attribute. #3586 [olivier_ansaldi@yahoo.com]
-
-* Reset @html_document between requests so assert_tag works. #4810 [Jarkko Laine, easleydp@gmail.com]
-
-* Integration tests behave well with render_component. #4632 [edward.frederick@revolution.com, dev.rubyonrails@maxdunn.com]
-

-
-* Fixed that real files and symlinks should be treated the same when compiling templates #5438 [zachary@panandscan.com]
-
-* Fixed that the flash should be reset when reset_session is called #5584 [Shugo Maeda]
-
-* Added special case for "1 Byte" in NumberHelper#number_to_human_size #5593 [murpyh@rubychan.de]
-
-* Fixed proper form-encoded parameter parsing for requests with "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8" (note the presence of a charset directive) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Add route_name_path method to generate only the path for a named routes. For example, map.person will add person_path. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Avoid naming collision among compiled view methods. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fix CGI extensions when they expect string but get nil in Windows. Closes #5276 [Mislav Marohnić]
-
-* Determine the correct template_root for deeply nested components.  #2841 [s.brink@web.de]
-
-* Fix that routes with *path segments in the recall can generate URLs. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix strip_links so that it doesn't hang on multiline <acronym> tags [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Remove problematic control chars in rescue template. #5316 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Make sure passed routing options are not mutated by routing code. #5314 [Blair Zajac]
-
-* Make sure changing the controller from foo/bar to bing/bang does not change relative to foo. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Escape the path before routing recognition. #3671
-
-* Make sure :id and friends are unescaped properly. #5275 [me@julik.nl]
-
-* Rewind readable CGI params so others may reread them (such as CGI::Session when passing the session id in a multipart form).  #210 [mklame@atxeu.com, matthew@walker.wattle.id.au]
-
-* Added Mime::TEXT (text/plain) and Mime::ICS (text/calendar) as new default types [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added Mime::Type.register(string, symbol, synonyms = []) for adding new custom mime types [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example: Mime::Type.register("image/gif", :gif)
-
-* Added support for Mime objects in render :content_type option [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example: render :text => some_atom, :content_type => Mime::ATOM
-
-* Add :status option to send_data and send_file. Defaults to '200 OK'.  #5243 [Manfred Stienstra <m.stienstra@fngtps.com>]
-
-* Routing rewrite. Simpler, faster, easier to understand. The published API for config/routes.rb is unchanged, but nearly everything else is different, so expect breakage in plugins and libs that try to fiddle with routes. [Nicholas Seckar, Jamis Buck]
-
-  map.connect '/foo/:id', :controller => '...', :action => '...'
-  map.connect '/foo/:id.:format', :controller => '...', :action => '...'
-  map.connect '/foo/:id', ..., :conditions => { :method => :get }
-
-* Cope with missing content type and length headers. Parse parameters from multipart and urlencoded request bodies only. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Accept multipart PUT parameters. #5235 [guy.naor@famundo.com]
-
-* Added interrogation of params[:format] to determine Accept type. If :format is specified and matches a declared extension, like "rss" or "xml", that mime type will be put in front of the accept handler. This means you can link to the same action from different extensions and use that fact to determine output [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-  class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
-    def index
-      @posts = Post.find :all
-
-      respond_to do |format|
-        format.html
-        format.xml { render :xml => @posts.to_xml }
-        format.rss { render :action => "feed.rxml" }
-      end
-    end
-  end
-
-  # returns HTML when requested by a browser, since the browser
-  # has the HTML mimetype at the top of its priority list
-  Accept: text/html
-  GET /weblog
-
-  # returns the XML
-  Accept: application/xml
-  GET /weblog
-
-  # returns the HTML
-  Accept: application/xml
-  GET /weblog.html
-
-  # returns the XML
-  Accept: text/html
-  GET /weblog.xml
-
-  All this relies on the fact that you have a route that includes .:format.
-
-* Expanded :method option in FormTagHelper#form_tag, FormHelper#form_for, PrototypeHelper#remote_form_for, PrototypeHelper#remote_form_tag, and PrototypeHelper#link_to_remote to allow for verbs other than GET and POST by automatically creating a hidden form field named _method, which will simulate the other verbs over post [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added :method option to UrlHelper#link_to, which allows for using other verbs than GET for the link. This replaces the :post option, which is now deprecated. Example: link_to "Destroy", person_url(:id => person), :method => :delete [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* follow_redirect doesn't complain about being redirected to the same controller. #5153 [dymo@mk.ukrtelecom.ua]
-
-* Add layout attribute to response object with the name of the layout that was rendered, or nil if none rendered. [Kevin Clark]
-
-* Fix NoMethodError when parsing params like &&. [Adam Greenfield]
-
-* form.text_area handles the :size option just like the original text_area (:size => '60x10' becomes cols="60" rows="10").  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Excise ingrown code from FormOptionsHelper#options_for_select. #5008 [anonymous]
-
-* Small fix in routing to allow dynamic routes (broken after [4242]) [Rick Olson]
-
-    map.connect '*path', :controller => 'files', :action => 'show'
-
-* Use #flush between switching from #write to #syswrite. Closes #4907. [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* Allow error_messages_for to report errors for multiple objects, as well as support for customizing the name of the object in the error summary header. Closes #4186. [andrew@redlinesoftware.com, Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-  error_messages_for :account, :user, :subscription, :object_name => :account
-
-* Fix assert_redirected_to tests according to real-world usage.  Also, don't fail if you add an extra :controller option: [Rick Olson]
-
-    redirect_to :action => 'new'
-    assert_redirected_to :controller => 'monkeys', :action => 'new'
-
-* Diff compared routing options.  Allow #assert_recognizes to take a second arg as a hash to specify optional request method [Rick Olson]
-
-    assert_recognizes({:controller => 'users', :action => 'index'}, 'users')
-    assert_recognizes({:controller => 'users', :action => 'create'}, {:path => 'users', :method => :post})
-
-* Diff compared options with #assert_redirected_to [Rick Olson]
-
-* Add support in routes for semicolon delimited "subpaths", like /books/:id;:action [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Change link_to_function and button_to_function to (optionally) take an update_page block instead of a JavaScript string. Closes #4804. [zraii@comcast.net, Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Modify routing so that you can say :require => { :method => :post } for a route, and the route will never be selected unless the request method is POST. Only works for route recognition, not for route generation. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added :add_headers option to verify which merges a hash of name/value pairs into the response's headers hash if the prerequisites cannot be satisfied. [Sam Stephenson]
-  ex. verify :only => :speak, :method => :post,
-             :render => { :status => 405, :text => "Must be post" },
-             :add_headers => { "Allow" => "POST" }
-
-
-*1.12.5* (August 10th, 2006)
-
-* Updated security fix
-
-
-*1.12.4* (August 8th, 2006)
-
-* Cache CgiRequest#request_parameters so that multiple calls don't re-parse multipart data. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed that remote_form_for can leave out the object parameter and default to the instance variable of the object_name, just like form_for [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added ActionController.filter_parameter_logging that makes it easy to remove passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information from being logged when a request is handled.  #1897 [jeremye@bsa.ca.gov]
-
-* Fixed that real files and symlinks should be treated the same when compiling templates.  #5438 [zachary@panandscan.com]
-
-* Add :status option to send_data and send_file. Defaults to '200 OK'.  #5243 [Manfred Stienstra <m.stienstra@fngtps.com>]
-
-* Update documentation for erb trim syntax. #5651 [matt@mattmargolis.net]
-
-* Short documentation to mention use of Mime::Type.register. #5710 [choonkeat@gmail.com]
-
-
-*1.12.3* (June 28th, 2006)
-
-* Fix broken traverse_to_controller. We now:
-  Look for a _controller.rb file under RAILS_ROOT to load.
-  If we find it, we require_dependency it and return the controller it defined. (If none was defined we stop looking.)
-  If we don't find it, we look for a .rb file under RAILS_ROOT to load. If we find it, and it loads a constant we keep looking.
-  Otherwise we check to see if a directory of the same name exists, and if it does we create a module for it.
-
-
-*1.12.2* (June 27th, 2006)
-
-* Refinement to avoid exceptions in traverse_to_controller.
-
-* (Hackish) Fix loading of arbitrary files in Ruby's load path by traverse_to_controller. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-
-*1.12.1* (April 6th, 2006)
-
-* Fixed that template extensions would be cached development mode #4624 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc0 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Honor skipping filters conditionally for only certain actions even when the parent class sets that filter to conditionally be executed only for the same actions. #4522 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Delegate xml_http_request in integration tests to the session instance. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Update the diagnostics template skip the useless '<controller not set>' text. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* CHANGED DEFAULT: Don't parse YAML input by default, but keep it available as an easy option [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Add additional autocompleter options [aballai, Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Fixed fragment caching of binary data on Windows #4493 [bellis@deepthought.org]
-
-* Applied Prototype $() performance patches (#4465, #4477) and updated script.aculo.us [Sam Stephenson, Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Added automated timestamping to AssetTagHelper methods for stylesheets, javascripts, and images when Action Controller is run under Rails [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    image_tag("rails.png") # => '<img alt="Rails" src="/images/rails.png?1143664135" />'
-
-  ...to avoid frequent stats (not a problem for most people), you can set RAILS_ASSET_ID in the ENV to avoid stats:
-
-    ENV["RAILS_ASSET_ID"] = "2345"
-    image_tag("rails.png") # => '<img alt="Rails" src="/images/rails.png?2345" />'
-
-  This can be used by deployment managers to set the asset id by application revision
-
-
-*1.12.0* (March 27th, 2006)
-
-* Add documentation for respond_to. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Fixed require of bluecloth and redcloth when gems haven't been loaded #4446 [murphy@cYcnus.de]
-
-* Update to Prototype 1.5.0_pre1 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Change #form_for and #fields_for so that the second argument is not required [Dave Thomas]
-
-    <% form_for :post, @post, :url => { :action => 'create' } do |f| -%>
-
-  becomes...
-
-    <% form_for :post, :url => { :action => 'create' } do |f| -%>
-
-* Update to script.aculo.us 1.6 [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Enable application/x-yaml processing by default [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Fix double url escaping of remote_function. Add :escape => false option to ActionView's url_for. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Add :script option to in_place_editor to support evalScripts (closes #4194) [Cody Fauser]
-
-* Fix mixed case enumerable methods in the JavaScript Collection Proxy (closes #4314) [Cody Fauser]
-
-* Undo accidental escaping for mail_to; add regression test. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added nicer message for assert_redirected_to (closes #4294) [court3nay]
-
-    assert_redirected_to :action => 'other_host', :only_path => false
-
-  when it was expecting...
-
-    redirected_to :action => 'other_host', :only_path => true, :host => 'other.test.host'
-
-  gives the error message...
-
-    response is not a redirection to all of the options supplied (redirection is <{:only_path=>false, :host=>"other.test.host", :action=>"other_host"}>), difference: <{:only_path=>"true", :host=>"other.test.host"}>
-
-* Change url_for to escape the resulting URLs when called from a view. [Nicholas Seckar, coffee2code]
-
-* Added easy support for testing file uploads with fixture_file_upload #4105 [turnip@turnipspatch.com]. Example:
-
-    # Looks in Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path + '/files/spongebob.png'
-    post :change_avatar, :avatar => fixture_file_upload('/files/spongebob.png', 'image/png')
-
-* Fixed UrlHelper#current_page? to behave even when url-escaped entities are present #3929 [jeremy@planetargon.com]
-
-* Add ability for relative_url_root to be specified via an environment variable RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT. [isaac@reuben.com, Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed link_to "somewhere", :post => true to produce valid XHTML by using the parentnode instead of document.body for the instant form #3007 [Bob Silva]
-
-* Added :function option to PrototypeHelper#observe_field/observe_form that allows you to call a function instead of submitting an ajax call as the trigger #4268 [jonathan@daikini.com]
-
-* Make Mime::Type.parse consider q values (if any) [Jamis Buck]
-
-* XML-formatted requests are typecast according to "type" attributes for :xml_simple [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added protection against proxy setups treating requests as local even when they're not #3898 [Steve Purcell]
-
-* Added TestRequest#raw_post that simulate raw_post from CgiRequest #3042 [François Beausoleil]
-

-
-* Add Verification to scaffolds.   Prevent destructive actions using GET [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Avoid hitting the filesystem when using layouts by using a File.directory? cache. [Stefan Kaes, Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Simplify ActionController::Base#controller_path [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added simple alert() notifications for RJS exceptions when config.action_view.debug_rjs = true. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Added :content_type option to render, so you can change the content type on the fly [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example: render :action => "atom.rxml", :content_type => "application/atom+xml"
-
-* CHANGED DEFAULT: The default content type for .rxml is now application/xml instead of type/xml, see http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/21/dive.html for reason [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added option to render action/template/file of a specific extension (and here by template type). This means you can have multiple templates with the same name but a different extension [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
-      def index
-        @posts = Post.find :all
-
-        respond_to do |type|
-          type.html # using defaults, which will render weblog/index.rhtml
-          type.xml  { render :action => "index.rxml" }
-          type.js   { render :action => "index.rjs" }
-        end
-      end
-    end
-
-* Added better support for using the same actions to output for different sources depending on the Accept header [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
-      def create
-        @post = Post.create(params[:post])
-
-        respond_to do |type|
-          type.js   { render }  # renders create.rjs
-          type.html { redirect_to :action => "index" }
-          type.xml  do
-            headers["Location"] = url_for(:action => "show", :id => @post)
-            render(:nothing, :status => "201 Created")
-          end
-        end
-      end
-    end
-
-* Added Base#render(:xml => xml) that works just like Base#render(:text => text), but sets the content-type to text/xml and the charset to UTF-8 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Integration test's url_for now runs in the context of the last request (if any) so after post /products/show/1 url_for :action => 'new' will yield /product/new  [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Re-added mixed-in helper methods for the JavascriptGenerator.  Moved JavascriptGenerators methods to a module that is mixed in after the helpers are added.  Also fixed that variables set in the enumeration methods like #collect are set correctly.  Documentation added for the enumeration methods [Rick Olson].  Examples:
-
-    page.select('#items li').collect('items') do |element|
-      element.hide
-    end
-    # => var items = $$('#items li').collect(function(value, index) { return value.hide(); });
-
-* Added plugin support for parameter parsers, which allows for better support for REST web services. By default, posts submitted with the application/xml content type is handled by creating a XmlSimple hash with the same name as the root element of the submitted xml. More handlers can easily be registered like this:
-
-    # Assign a new param parser to a new content type
-    ActionController::Base.param_parsers['application/atom+xml'] = Proc.new do |data|
-      node = REXML::Document.new(post)
-     { node.root.name => node.root }
-    end
-
-    # Assign the default XmlSimple to a new content type
-    ActionController::Base.param_parsers['application/backpack+xml'] = :xml_simple
-
-Default YAML web services were retired, ActionController::Base.param_parsers carries an example which shows how to get this functionality back. As part of this new plugin support, request.[formatted_post?, xml_post?, yaml_post? and post_format] were all deprecated in favor of request.content_type [Tobias Lütke]
-

-
-* Fixed JavascriptHelper#auto_complete_for to only include unique items #2153 [Thomas Fuchs]

-
-* Added support for per-action session management #1763
-
-* Improved rendering speed on complicated templates by up to 100% (the more complex the templates, the higher the speedup) #1234 [Stefan Kaes]. This did necessasitate a change to the internals of ActionView#render_template that now has four parameters. Developers of custom view handlers (like Amrita) need to update for that.
-
-* Added options hash as third argument to FormHelper#input, so you can do input('person', 'zip', :size=>10) #1719 [jeremye@bsa.ca.gov]

-
-* Fixed bug with :success/:failure callbacks for the JavaScriptHelper methods #1730 [court3nay/Thomas Fuchs]
-

-
-* Fixed routes so that routes which do not specify :action in the path or in the requirements have a default of :action => 'index', In addition, fixed url generation so that :action => 'index' does not need to be provided for such urls. [Nicholas Seckar, Markjuh]
-
-* Worked around a Safari bug where it wouldn't pass headers through if the response was zero length by having render :nothing return ' ' instead of ''
-
-* Fixed Request#subdomains to handle "foo.foo.com" correctly
-
-
-*1.9.1* (11 July, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that auto_complete_for didn't force the input string to lower case even as the db comparison was
-
-* Fixed that Action View should always use the included Builder, never attempt to require the gem, to ensure compatibility
-
-* Added that nil options are not included in tags, so tag("p", :ignore => nil) now returns <p /> not <p ignore="" />  but that tag("p", :ignore => "") still includes it #1465 [Michael Schuerig]
-
-* Fixed that UrlHelper#link_to_unless/link_to_if used html_escape on the name if no link was to be applied. This is unnecessary and breaks its use with images #1649 [joergd@pobox.com]
-
-* Improved error message for DoubleRenderError
-
-* Fixed routing to allow for testing of *path components #1650 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added :handle as an option to sortable_element to restrict the drag handle to a given class #1642 [thejohnny]
-
-* Added a bunch of script.aculo.us features #1644, #1677, #1695 [Thomas Fuchs]
-  * Effect.ScrollTo, to smoothly scroll the page to an element
-  * Better Firefox flickering handling on SlideUp/SlideDown
-  * Removed a possible memory leak in IE with draggables
-  * Added support for cancelling dragging my hitting ESC
-  * Added capability to remove draggables/droppables and redeclare sortables in dragdrop.js (this makes it possible to call sortable_element on the same element more than once, e.g. in AJAX returns that modify the sortable element. all current sortable 'stuff' on the element will be discarded and the sortable will be rebuilt)
-  * Always reset background color on Effect.Highlight; this make change backwards-compatibility, to be sure include style="background-color:(target-color)" on your elements or else elements will fall back to their CSS rules (which is a good thing in most circumstances)
-  * Removed circular references from element to prevent memory leaks (still not completely gone in IE)
-  * Changes to class extension in effects.js
-  * Make Effect.Highlight restore any previously set background color when finishing (makes effect work with CSS classes that set a background color)
-  * Fixed myriads of memory leaks in IE and Gecko-based browsers [David Zülke]
-  * Added incremental and local autocompleting and loads of documentation to controls.js [Ivan Krstic]
-  * Extended the auto_complete_field helper to accept tokens option
-  * Changed object extension mechanism to favor Object.extend to make script.aculo.us easily adaptable to support 3rd party libs like IE7.js [David Zülke]
-
-* Fixed that named routes didn't use the default values for action and possible other parameters #1534 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed JavascriptHelper#visual_effect to use camelize such that :blind_up will work #1639 [pelletierm@eastmedia.net]
-
-* Fixed that a SessionRestoreError was thrown if a model object was placed in the session that wasn't available to all controllers. This means that it's no longer necessary to use the 'model :post' work-around in ApplicationController to have a Post model in your session.
-
-
-*1.9.0* (6 July, 2005)
-
-* Added logging of the request URI in the benchmark statement (makes it easy to grep for slow actions)
-
-* Added javascript_include_tag :defaults shortcut that'll include all the default javascripts included with Action Pack (prototype, effects, controls, dragdrop)
-
-* Cache several controller variables that are expensive to calculate #1229 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* The session class backing CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore may be replaced with any class that duck-types with a subset of Active Record.  See docs for details #1238 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Fixed that hashes was not working properly when passed by GET to lighttpd #849 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed assert_template nil will be true when no template was rendered #1565 [maceywj@telus.net]
-
-* Added :prompt option to FormOptions#select (and the users of it, like FormOptions#select_country etc) to create "Please select" style descriptors #1181 [Michael Schuerig]
-
-* Added JavascriptHelper#update_element_function, which returns a Javascript function (or expression) that'll update a DOM element according to the options passed #933 [mortonda@dgrmm.net]. Examples:
-
-    <%= update_element_function("products", :action => :insert, :position => :bottom, :content => "<p>New product!</p>") %>
-
-    <% update_element_function("products", :action => :replace, :binding => binding) do %>
-      <p>Product 1</p>
-      <p>Product 2</p>
-    <% end %>
-
-* Added :field_name option to DateHelper#select_(year|month|day) to deviate from the year/month/day defaults #1266 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Added JavascriptHelper#draggable_element and JavascriptHelper#drop_receiving_element to facilitate easy dragging and dropping through the script.aculo.us libraries #1578 [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Added that UrlHelper#mail_to will now also encode the default link title #749 [f.svehla@gmail.com]
-
-* Removed the default option of wrap=virtual on FormHelper#text_area to ensure XHTML compatibility #1300 [thomas@columbus.rr.com]
-
-* Adds the ability to include XML CDATA tags using Builder #1563 [Josh Knowles]. Example:
-
-    xml.cdata! "some text" # => <![CDATA[some text]]>
-
-* Added evaluation of <SCRIPT> blocks in content returned to Ajax calls #1577 [Thomas Fuchs/court3nay/Sean Treadway]
-
-* Directly generate paths with a leading slash instead of tacking it on later.  #1543 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed errant parameter modification in functional tests.  #1542 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Routes fail with leading slash #1540 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added support for graceful error handling of Ajax calls #1217 [Jamis Buck/Thomas Fuchs]. Example:
-
-    link_to_remote(
-      "test",
-      :url => { :action => "faulty" },
-      :update => { :success => "good", :failure => "bad" },
-      403 => "alert('Forbidden- got ya!')",
-      404 => "alert('Nothing there...?')",
-      :failure => "alert('Unkown error ' + request.status)")
-
-* Attempt to explicitly flush the output at the end of CgiProcess#out
-
-* Fixed assert_redirected_to to handle absolute controller paths properly #1472 [Rick Olson/Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added event-based observations when frequency is not set on observe_field/form #1474 [flash@vanklinkenbergsoftware.nl]
-
-* Added script.aculo.us Javascripts (controls.js, dragdrop.js, effects.js) (NEEDS MORE DESCRIPTION) #1509 [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Fixed prototype to consider all fields it doesn't know as text (such as Safari's search) just like the browser in its serialization #1497 [Sean Treadway]
-
-* Improved performance of Routes generation by a factor of 5 #1434 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added named routes (NEEDS BETTER DESCRIPTION) #1434 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Improved AbstractRequest documentation #1483 [court3nay]
-
-* Added ActionController::Base.allow_concurrency to control whether the application is thread-safe, so multi-threaded servers like WEBrick knows whether to apply a mutex around the performance of each action. Turned off by default. EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE.
-
-* Added TextHelper#word_wrap(text, line_length = 80) #1449 [tuxie@dekadance.se]
-
-* Added a fall-through action for form_remote_tag that'll be used in case Javascript is unavailable #1459 [Scott Barron]. Example:
-
-    form_remote_tag :html => { :action => url_for(:controller => "some", :action => "place") }
-
-* Added :xhr => true/false option to verify so you can ensure that a request is coming from an Ajax call or not #1464 [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Added tag_options as a third parameter to AssetHelper#auto_discovery_link_tag to control options like the title of the link #1430 [Kevin Clark]
-
-* Added option to pass in parameters to CaptureHelper#capture, so you can create more advanced view helper methods #1466 [duane.johnson@gmail.com]. Example:
-
-    <% show_calendar(:year => 2005, :month => 6) do |day, options| %>
-      <% options[:bgcolor] = '#dfd' if 10..15.include? day %>
-      [<%= day %>]
-    <% end %>
-
-* Changed the default name of the input tag generated by FormTagHelper#submit_tag from "submit" to "commit" so it doesn't clash with form.submit() calls in Javascript #1271
-
-* Fixed relative urls support for lighttpd #1048 [Nicholas Seckar/maznawak@nerim.net]
-
-* Correct distance_of_time_in_words for integer arguments and make the second arg optional, treating the first arg as a duration in seconds.  #1458 [madrobby <thomas@fesch.at>]
-
-* Fixed query parser to deal gracefully with equal signs inside keys and values #1345 [gorou].
-  Example: /?sig=abcdef=:foobar=&x=y will pass now.
-
-* Added Cuba to country list #1351 [todd]
-
-* Fixed radio_button to work with numeric values #1352 [demetrius]
-
-* Added :extension option to NumberHelper#number_to_phone #1361 [delynnb]
-
-* Added button_to as a form-based solution to deal with harmful actions that should be hidden behind POSTs. This makes it just as easy as link_to to create a safe trigger for actions like destroy, although it's limited by being a block element, the fixed look, and a no-no inside other forms. #1371 [tom@moertel.com]
-
-* Fixed image_tag so an exception is not thrown just because the image is missing and alt value can't be generated #1395 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Added a third parameter to TextHelper#auto_link called href_options for specifying additional tag options on the links generated #1401 [tyler.kovacs@gmail.com]. Example: auto_link(text, :all, { :target => "_blank" }) to have all the generated links open in a new window.
-
-* Fixed TextHelper#highlight to return the text, not nil, if the phrase is blank #1409 [Patrick Lenz]
-
-* Fixed TagHelper such that :name and 'name' keys in the options doesn't result in two attributes #1455 [take_tk]
-
-* Ensure that helpers are only available to the controllers where they are defined and their subclasses.  #1394 [kdole@tamu.edu]
-
-* render("foo/bar") works with a layout again
-
-* Fixed double-singularization on scaffolded pagination call (Address would be turned into Addres) #1216, #1404 [nilsga]
-
-* Removed the require hack used by functional testing to work around an earlier bug in rake.
-
-* Allow distance_of_time_in_words to work with any value that responds to #to_time (like dates) #969
-
-* Support :render option for :verify #1440 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Updated vendor copy of html-scanner lib to 0.5.2, for bug fixes and optimizations. The :content option may be used as expected--to find a tag whose textual content is a particular value--in assert_tag, now.
-
-* Changed test requests to come from 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 such that they don't trigger debugging screens on exceptions, but instead call rescue_action_in_public
-
-* Modernize scaffolding to match the generator: use the new render method and change style from the warty @params["id"] to the sleek params[:id].  #1367
-
-* Include :id in the action generated by the form helper method.  Then, for example, the controller can do Model.find(params[:id]) for both edit and update actions.  Updated scaffolding to take advantage.  #1367
-
-* Add assertions with friendly messages to TestCase#process to ensure that @controller, @request, and @response are set.  #1367
-
-* Arrays, hashes sent via multipart posts are converted to strings #1032 [dj@omelia.org, me@julik.nl]
-
-* render(:layout => true) is a synonym for render(:layout => nil)
-
-* Make sure the benchmarking render method always returns the output of the render.
-
-* render(:action), render(:template) and render() are the only three calls that default to using a layout. All other render calls assume :layout => false. This also fixes send_file, which was applying a layout if one existed for the current action.
-
-* verify with :redirect_to won't redirect if a redirect or render has already been performed #1350
-
-* render(:partial => true) is identical to the behavior of the deprecated render_partial()
-
-* Fixed render(:partial => "...") to use an empty Hash for the local assigns #1365
-
-* Fixed Caching::Fragments::FileStore.delete to not raise an exception if the delete fails.
-
-* Deprecated all render_* methods in favor of consolidating all rendering behavior in Base#render(options). This enables more natural use of combining options, such as layouts. Examples:
-
-    +---------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
-    | BEFORE                                                        | AFTER                                                 |
-    +---------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
-    | render_with_layout "weblog/show", "200 OK", "layouts/dialog"  | render :action => "show", :layout => "dialog"         |
-    | render_without_layout "weblog/show"                           | render :action => "show", :layout => false            |
-    | render_action "error", "404 Not Found"                        | render :action => "error", :status => "404 Not Found" |
-    | render_template "xml.div('stuff')", "200 OK", :rxml           | render :inline => "xml.div('stuff')", :type => :rxml  |
-    | render_text "hello world!"                                    | render :text => "hello world!"                        |
-    | render_partial_collection "person", @people, nil, :a => 1     | render :partial => "person", :collection => @people,  |
-    |                                                               |        :locals => { :a => 1 }                         |
-    +---------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
-
-* Deprecated redirect_to_path and redirect_to_url in favor of letting redirect_to do the right thing when passed either a path or url.
-
-* Fixed use of an integer as return code for renders, so render_text "hello world", 404 now works #1327
-
-* Fixed assert_redirect_to to work with redirect_to_path #869 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed escaping of :method option in remote_form_tag #1218 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added Serbia and Montenegro to the country_select #1239 [todd@robotcoop.com]
-
-* Fixed Request#remote_ip in testing #1251 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed that compute_public_path should recognize external URLs, so image_tag("http://www.example.com/images/icon.gif") is not prefixed with the relative url path #1254 [victor-ronr-trac@carotena.net]
-
-* Added support for descending year values in DateHelper#select_year, like select_year(Date.today, :start_year => 2005, :end_year => 1900), which would count down from 2005 to 1900 instead of the other way #1274 [nwoods@mail.com]
-
-* Fixed that FormHelper#checkbox should return a checked checkbox if the value is the same as checked_value #1286 [Florian Weber]
-
-* Fixed Form.disable in Prototype #1317 [Wintermute]
-
-* Added accessors to logger, params, response, session, flash, and headers from the view, so you can write <% logger.info "stuff" %> instead of <% @logger.info "others" %> -- more consistent with the preferred way of accessing these attributes and collections from the controller
-
-* Added support for POST data in form of YAML or XML, which is controller through the Content-Type header. Example request:
-
-    Content-Type: application/xml
-    <request><item><content>HelloWorld</content></item></request>
-
-  ...is the same as:
-
-    Content-Type: application/x-yaml
-    ---
-    item:
-      content: HelloWorld
-
-  ...is the same as:
-
-    item[content]=HelloWorld
-
-  Which in the end turns into { "item" => { "content" => "HelloWorld" } }. This makes it a lot easier to publish REST web services on top of your regular actions (as they won't care).
-
-  Example Curl call:
-
-    curl -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' -d '<request><item><content>KillMeMore</content></item></request>' http://www.example.com/service
-
-  You can query to find out whether a given request came through as one of these types with:
-    - request.post_format? (:url_encoded, :xml or :yaml)
-    - request.formatted_post? (for either xml or yaml)
-    - request.xml_post?
-    - request.yaml_post?
-
-* Added bundling of XmlSimple by Maik Schmidt
-
-* Fixed that render_partial_collection should always return a string (and not sometimes an array, despite <%= %> not caring)
-
-* Added TextHelper#sanitize that can will remove any Javascript handlers, blocks, and forms from an input of HTML.  This allows for use of HTML on public sites, but still be free of XSS issues. #1277 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Fixed the HTML scanner used by assert_tag where a infinite loop could be caused by a stray less-than sign in the input #1270 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added functionality to assert_tag, so you can now do tests on the siblings of a node, to assert that some element comes before or after the element in question, or just to assert that some element exists as a sibling #1226 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added better error handling for regexp caching expiration
-
-* Fixed handling of requests coming from unknown HTTP methods not to kill the server
-
-* Added that both AssetHelper#stylesheet_link_tag and AssetHelper#javascript_include_tag now accept an option hash as the last parameter, so you can do stuff like: stylesheet_link_tag "style", :media => "all"
-
-* Added FormTagHelper#image_submit_tag for making submit buttons that uses images
-
-* Added ActionController::Base.asset_host that will then be used by all the asset helpers. This enables you to easily offload static content like javascripts and images to a separate server tuned just for that.
-
-* Fixed action/fragment caching using the filestore when a directory and a file wanted to use the same name. Now there's a .cache prefix that sidesteps the conflict #1188 [imbcmdth@hotmail.com]
-
-* Fixed missing id uniqueness in FormTag#radio_button #1207 [Jarkko Laine]
-
-* Fixed assert_redirected_to to work with :only_path => false #1204 [Alisdair McDiarmid]
-
-* Fixed render_partial_collection to output an empty string instead of nil when handed an empty array #1202 [Ryan Carver]
-
-* Improved the speed of regular expression expirations for caching by a factor of 10 #1221 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Removed dumping of template assigns on the rescue page as it would very easily include a ton of data making page loads take seconds (and the information was rarely helpful) #1222
-
-* Added BenchmarkHelper that can measure the execution time of a block in a template and reports the result to the log. Example:
-
-    <% benchmark "Notes section" do %>
-      <%= expensive_notes_operation %>
-    <% end %>
-
-   Will add something like "Notes section (0.345234)" to the log.
-
-* Added ActionController::Caching::Sweeper as an improved an easier to use sweeper. The new sweepers work on a single-step approach instead of two-steps like the old ones. Before
-
-    def after_save(record)
-      @list = record.is_a?(List) ? record : record.list
-    end
-
-    def filter(controller)
-      controller.expire_page(:controller => "lists", :action => %w( show public feed ), :id => @list.id)
-      controller.expire_action(:controller => "lists", :action => "all")
-      @list.shares.each { |share| controller.expire_page(:controller => "lists", :action => "show", :id => share.url_key) }
-    end
-
-  ..after:
-
-    def after_save(record)
-      list = record.is_a?(List) ? record : record.list
-      expire_page(:controller => "lists", :action => %w( show public feed ), :id => list.id)
-      expire_action(:controller => "lists", :action => "all")
-      list.shares.each { |share| expire_page(:controller => "lists", :action => "show", :id => share.url_key) }
-    end
-
-  The new sweepers can also observe on the actions themselves by implementing methods according to (before|after)_$controller_$action. Example of a callback that'll be called after PagesController#update_title has been performed:
-
-      def after_pages_update_title
-        expire_fragment(%r{pages/#{controller.assigns["page"].id}/.*})
-      end
-
-  Note that missing_method is delegated to the controller instance, which is assigned in a before filter. This means that you can call expire_fragment instead of @controller.expire_fragment.
-
-* Added that Fragments#expire_fragment now accepts as a regular expression as the name thereby deprecating expire_matched_fragments
-
-* Fixed that fragments shouldn't use the current host and the path as part of the key like pages does
-
-* Added conditions to around_filters just like before_filter and after_filter
-
-
-*1.8.1* (20th April, 2005)
-
-* Added xml_http_request/xhr method for simulating XMLHttpRequest in functional tests #1151 [Sam Stephenson]. Example:
-
-    xhr :post, :index
-
-* Fixed that Ajax.Base.options.asynchronous wasn't being respected in Ajax.Request (thanks Jon Casey)
-
-* Fixed that :get, :post, and the others should take a flash array as the third argument just like process #1144 [rails@cogentdude.com]
-
-* Fixed a problem with Flash.now
-
-* Fixed stringification on all assigned hashes. The sacrifice is that assigns[:person] won't work in testing. Instead assigns["person"] or assigns(:person) must be used. In other words, the keys of assigns stay strings but we've added a method-based accessor to appease the need for symbols.
-
-* Fixed that rendering a template would require a connection to the database #1146
-
-
-*1.8.0* (19th April, 2005)
-
-* Added assert_tag and assert_no_tag as a much improved alternative to the deprecated assert_template_xpath_match #1126 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Deprecated the majority of all the testing assertions and replaced them with a much smaller core and access to all the collections the old assertions relied on. That way the regular test/unit assertions can be used against these. Added documentation about how to use it all.
-
-* Added a wide range of new Javascript effects:
-    * Effect.Puff zooms the element out and makes it smoothly transparent at the same time, giving a "puff" illusion #996 [thomas@fesch.at]
-      After the animation is completed, the display property will be set to none.
-      This effect will work on relative and absolute positioned elements.
-
-    * Effect.Appear as the opposite of Effect.Fade #990 [thomas@fesch.at]
-      You should return elements with style="display:none;" or a like class for this to work best and have no chance of flicker.
-
-    * Effect.Squish for scaling down an element and making it disappear at the end #972 [thomas@fesch.at]
-
-    * Effect.Scale for smoothly scaling images or text up and down #972 [thomas@fesch.at]
-
-    * Effect.Fade which smoothly turns opacity from 100 to 0 and then hides the element #960 [thomas@fesch.at]
-
-* Added Request#xml_http_request? (and an alias xhr?) to that'll return true when the request came from one of the Javascript helper methods (Ajax). This can be used to give one behavior for modern browsers supporting Ajax, another to old browsers #1127 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Changed render_partial to take local assigns as the second parameter instead of an explicit object and then the assigns. So the API changes from:
-
-    <%= render_partial "account", person, "rules" => regulations.rules %>
-
-  ...to:
-
-    <%= render_partial "account", :account => person, :rules => regulations.rules %>
-
-  The old API will still work, though, and render_partial "account" will still assume :account => @account.
-
-* Added support for web servers that use PATH_INFO instead of REQUEST_URI like IIS #1014 [BradG/Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added graceful handling of PUT, DELETE, and OPTIONS requests for a complete coverage of REST functionality #1136 [Josh Knowles]
-
-* Fixed that you can now pass an alternative :href option to link_to_function/remote in order to point to somewhere other than # if the javascript fails or is turned off. You can do the same with form_remote_tag by passing in :action. #1113 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Fixed DateHelper to return values on the option tags such that they'll work properly in IE with form_remote_tag #1024 [Scott Raymond]
-
-* Fixed FormTagHelper#check_box to respect checked #1049 [DelynnB]
-
-* Added that render_partial called from a controller will use the action name as default #828 [Dan Peterson]
-
-* Added Element.toggle, Element.show, and Element.hide to the prototype javascript library. Toggle.display has been deprecated, but will still work #992 [Lucas Carlson]
-
-* Added that deleting a cookie should not just set it to an empty string but also instantly expire it #1118 [todd@robotcoop.com]
-
-* Added AssetTagHelper#image_path, AssetTagHelper#javascript_path, and AssetTagHelper#stylesheet_path #1110 [Larry Halff]
-
-* Fixed url_for(nil) in functional tests #1116 [Alisdair McDiarmid]
-
-* Fixed error handling of broken layouts #1115 [Michael Schubert]
-
-* Added submit_to_remote that allows you to trigger an Ajax form submition at the click of the submission button, which allows for multiple targets in a single form through the use of multiple submit buttons #930 [yrashk@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed pagination to work with joins #1034 [scott@sigkill.org]
-
-* Fixed that *rest parameter in map.connect couldn't accept an empty list #1037 [Dee Zsombor]
-
-* Added :confirm option to link_to_remote just like link_to has #1082 [yrashk@fp.org.ua]
-
-* Added minute_step as an option to select_minute (and the helpers that use it) to jump in larger increments than just 1 minute. At 15, it would return 0, 15, 30, 45 options #1085 [ordwaye@evergreen.edu]
-
-* Fixed that an exception would be thrown when an empty form was submitted #1090 [jan@ulbrich-boerwang.de]
-
-* Moved TextHelper#human_size to NumberHelper#number_to_human_size, but kept an deprecated alias to the old method name
-
-* Fixed that the content-type for some browsers could include an additional \r which made wonky things happen #1067 [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Fixed that radio buttons shouldn't have a default size attribute #1074 [hendrik@mans.de]
-
-* Added ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag::DEFAULT_RADIO_OPTIONS that contains a hash of default options for radio buttons #1074 [hendrik@mans.de]
-
-* Fixed that in some circumstances controllers outside of modules may have hidden ones inside modules. For example, admin/content might have been hidden by /content. #1075 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added JavascriptHelper#periodically_call_remote in order to create areas of a page that update automatically at a set interval #945 [Jon Tirsen]
-
-* Fixed Cache#expire_matched_fragments that couldn't recognize the difference between string and url_for options #1030 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Added simulation of @request.request_uri in functional tests #1038 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Fixed autolinking to work better in more cases #1013 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added the possible of using symbols in form helpers that relate to instance variables like text_field :account, :name in addition to text_field "account", "name"'
-
-* Fixed javascript_include_tag to output type instead of language and conform to XHTML #1018 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added NumberHelper for common string representations like phone number, currency, and percentage #1015 [DeLynn]
-
-* Added pagination for scaffolding (10 items per page) #964 [mortonda@dgrmm.net]
-
-* Added assert_no_cookie and fixed assert_cookie_equal to deal with non-existing cookies #979 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed :overwrite_param so it doesn't delete but reject elements from @request.parameters #982 [raphinou@yahoo.com]
-
-* Added :method option to verify for ensuring that either GET, POST, etc is allowed #984 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added options to set cc, bcc, subject, and body for UrlHelper#mail_to #966 [DeLynn]
-
-* Fixed include_blank for select_hour/minute/second #527 [edward@debian.org]
-
-* Improved the message display on the exception handler pages #963 [Johan Sorensen]
-
-* Fixed that on very rare occasions, webrick would raise a NoMethodError: private method 'split' called for nil #1001 [Flurin Egger]
-
-* Fixed problem with page caching #958 [Rick Olson]
-
-
-*1.7.0* (27th March, 2005)
-
-* Added ActionController::Base.page_cache_extension for setting the page cache file extension (the default is .html) #903 [Andreas]
-
-* Fixed "bad environment variable value" exception caused by Safari, Apache, and Ajax calls #918
-
-* Fixed that pagination_helper would ignore :params #947 [Sebastian Kanthak]
-
-* Added :owerwrite_params back to url_for and friends -- it was AWL since the introduction of Routes #921 [raphinou]
-
-* Added :position option to link_to_remote/form_remote_tag that can be either :before, :top, :bottom, or :after and specifies where the return from the method should be inserted #952 [Matthew McCray/Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Added Effect.Highlight to prototype.js to do Yellow Fade Technique (of 37signals' fame) on any container #952 [Sam Stephenson/court3nay]
-
-* Added include_seconds option as the third parameter to distance_of_time_in_words which will render "less than a minute" in higher resolution ("less than 10 seconds" etc) #944 [thomas@fesch.at]
-
-* Added fourth option to process in test cases to specify the content of the flash #949 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added Verifications that allows you to specify preconditions to actions in form of statements like <tt>verify :only => :update_post, :params => "admin_privileges", :redirect_to => { :action => "settings" }</tt>, which ensure that the update_post action is only called if admin_privileges is available as a parameter -- otherwise the user is redirected to settings. #897 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Fixed Form.Serialize for the JavascriptHelper to also seriliaze password fields #934 [dweitzman@gmail.com]
-
-* Added JavascriptHelper#escape_javascript as a public method (was private) and made it escape both single and double quotes and new lines #940 [mortonda@dgrmm.net]
-
-* Added trailing_slash option to url_for, so you can generate urls ending in a slash. Note that is currently not recommended unless you need it for special reasons since it breaks caching #937 [stian@grytoyr.net]
-
-* Added expire_matched_fragments(regular_expression) to clear out a lot of fragment caches at once #927 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed the problems with : and ? in file names for fragment caches on Windows #927 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added TextHelper#human_size for formatting file sizes, like human_size(1234567) => 1.2 MB #943 [thomas@fesch.at]
-
-* Fixed link_to :confirm #936 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Improved error reporting especially around never shallowing exceptions. Debugging helpers should be much easier now #980 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed Toggle.display in prototype.js #902 [Lucas Carlson]
-
-
-*1.6.0* (22th March, 2005)
-
-* Added a JavascriptHelper and accompanying prototype.js library that opens the world of Ajax to Action Pack with a large array of options for dynamically interacting with an application without reloading the page #884 [Sam Stephenson/David]
-
-* Added pagination support through both a controller and helper add-on #817 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Fixed routing and helpers to make Rails work on non-vhost setups #826 [Nicholas Seckar/Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added a much improved Flash module that allows for finer-grained control on expiration and allows you to flash the current action #839 [Caio Chassot]. Example of flash.now:
-
-    class SomethingController < ApplicationController
-      def save
-        ...
-        if @something.save
-          # will redirect, use flash
-          flash[:message] = 'Save successful'
-          redirect_to :action => 'list'
-        else
-          # no redirect, message is for current action, use flash.now
-          flash.now[:message] = 'Save failed, review'
-          render_action 'edit'
-        end
-      end
-    end
-
-* Added to_param call for parameters when composing an url using url_for from something else than strings #812 [Sam Stephenson]. Example:
-
-    class Page
-      def initialize(number)
-        @number = number
-      end
-      # ...
-      def to_param
-        @number.to_s
-      end
-    end
-
-  You can now use instances of Page with url_for:
-
-    class BarController < ApplicationController
-      def baz
-        page = Page.new(4)
-        url = url_for :page => page # => "http://foo/bar/baz?page=4"
-      end
-    end
-
-* Fixed form helpers to query Model#id_before_type_cast instead of Model#id as a temporary workaround for Ruby 1.8.2 warnings #818 [DeLynn B]
-
-* Fixed TextHelper#markdown to use blank? instead of empty? so it can deal with nil strings passed #814 [Johan Sörensen]
-
-* Added TextHelper#simple_format as a non-dependency text presentation helper #814 [Johan Sörensen]
-
-* Added that the html options disabled, readonly, and multiple can all be treated as booleans. So specifying <tt>disabled => :true</tt> will give <tt>disabled="disabled"</tt>. #809 [mindel]
-
-* Added path collection syntax for Routes that will gobble up the rest of the url and pass it on to the controller #830 [rayners]. Example:
-
-    map.connect 'categories/*path_info', :controller => 'categories', :action => 'show'
-
-  A request for /categories/top-level-cat, would give @params[:path_info] with "top-level-cat".
-  A request for /categories/top-level-cat/level-1-cat, would give @params[:path_info] with "top-level-cat/level-1-cat" and so forth.
-
-  The @params[:path_info] return is really an array, but where to_s has been overwritten to do join("/").
-
-* Fixed options_for_select on selected line issue #624 [Florian Weber]
-
-* Added CaptureHelper with CaptureHelper#capture and CaptureHelper#content_for. See documentation in helper #837 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Fixed :anchor use in url_for #821 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Removed the reliance on PATH_INFO as it was causing problems for caching and inhibited the new non-vhost support #822 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added assigns shortcut for @response.template.assigns to controller test cases [Jeremy Kemper]. Example:
-
-  Before:
-
-    def test_list
-      assert_equal 5, @response.template.assigns['recipes'].size
-      assert_equal 8, @response.template.assigns['categories'].size
-    end
-
-  After:
-
-    def test_list
-      assert_equal 5, assigns(:recipes).size
-      assert_equal 8, assigns(:categories).size
-    end
-
-* Added TagHelper#image_tag and deprecated UrlHelper#link_image_to (recommended approach is to combine image_tag and link_to instead)
-
-* Fixed textilize to be resilient to getting nil parsed (by using Object#blank? instead of String#empty?)
-
-* Fixed that the :multipart option in FormTagHelper#form_tag would be ignored [Yonatan Feldman]
-
-
-*1.5.1* (7th March, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that the routes.rb file wouldn't be found on symlinked setups due to File.expand_path #793 [piotr@t-p-l.com]
-
-* Changed ActiveRecordStore to use Marshal instead of YAML as the latter proved troublesome in persisting circular dependencies. Updating existing applications MUST clear their existing session table from data to start using this updated store #739 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added shortcut :id assignment to render_component and friends (before you had to go through :params) #784 [Lucas Carlson]
-
-* Fixed that map.connect should convert arguments to strings #780 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added UrlHelper#link_to_if/link_to_unless to enable other conditions that just link_to_unless_current #757 [mindel]
-
-* Fixed that single quote was not escaped in a UrlHelper#link_to javascript confirm #549 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Removed the default border on link_image_to (it broke xhtml strict) -- can be specified with :border => 0 #517 [?/caleb]
-
-* Fixed that form helpers would treat string and symbol keys differently in html_options (and possibly create duplicate entries) #112 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed that broken pipe errors (clients disconnecting in mid-request) could bring down a fcgi process
-
-* Added the original exception message to session recall errors (so you can see which class wasnt required)
-
-* Fixed that RAILS_ROOT might not be defined when AP was loaded, so do a late initialization of the ROUTE_FILE #761 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Fix request.path_info and clear up LoadingModule behavior #754 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed caching to be aware of extensions (so you can cache files like api.wsdl or logo.png) #734 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed that Routes would raise NameErrors if a controller component contains characters that are not valid constant names #733 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added PATH_INFO access from the request that allows urls like the following to be interpreted by rails: http://www.example.com/dispatcher.cgi/controller/action -- that makes it possible to use rails as a CGI under lighttpd and would also allow (for example) Rublog to be ported to rails without breaking existing links to Rublog-powered blogs. #728 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Fixed that caching the root would result in .html not index.html #731, #734 [alisdair/Nicholas Seckar]
-
-
-*1.5.0* (24th February, 2005)
-
-* Added Routing as a replacement for mod_rewrite pretty urls [Nicholas Seckar]. Read more in ActionController::Base.url_for and on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/9
-
-* Added components that allows you to call other actions for their rendered response while execution another action. You can either delegate the entire response rendering or you can mix a partial response in with your other content. Read more on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/14
-
-* Fixed that proxy IPs do not follow all RFC1918 nets #251 [caleb@aei-tech.com]
-
-* Added Base#render_to_string to parse a template and get the result back as a string #479
-
-* Fixed that send_file/data can work even if render* has been called before in action processing to render the content of a file to be send for example #601
-
-* Added FormOptionsHelper#time_zone_select and FormOptionsHelper#time_zone_options_for_select to work with the new value object TimeZone in Active Support #688 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added FormHelper#file_field and FormTagHelper#file_field_tag for creating file upload fields
-
-* Added :order option for date_select that allows control over the order in which the date dropdowns is used and which of them should be used #619 [Tim Bates]. Examples:
-
-    date_select("post", "written_on", :order => [:day, :month, :year])
-    date_select("user", "birthday",   :order => [:month, :day])
-
-* Added ActionView::Base.register_template_handler for easy integration of an alternative template language to ERb and Builder. See test/controller/custom_handler_test.rb for a usage example #656 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added AssetTagHelper that provides methods for linking a HTML page together with other assets, such as javascripts, stylesheets, and feeds.
-
-* Added FormTagHelper that provides a number of methods for creating form tags that doesn't rely on conventions with an object assigned to the template like FormHelper does. With the FormTagHelper, you provide the names and values yourself.
-
-* Added Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq to the countries list used by FormOptions#country_select and FormOptions#country_options_for_select
-
-* Renamed link_to_image to link_image_to (since thats what it actually does) -- kept alias for the old method name
-
-* Fixed textilize for RedCloth3 to keep doing hardbreaks
-
-* Fixed that assert_template_xpath_matches did not indicate when a path was not found #658 [Eric Hodel]
-
-* Added TextHelper#auto_link to turn email addresses and urls into ahrefs
-
-* Fixed that on validation errors, scaffold couldn't find template #654 [mindel]
-
-* Added Base#hide_action(*names) to hide public methods from a controller that would otherwise have been callable through the URL. For the majority of cases, its preferred just to make the methods you don't want to expose protected or private (so they'll automatically be hidden) -- but if you must have a public method, this is a way to make it uncallable. Base#hidden_actions retrieve the list of all hidden actions for the controller #644 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed that a bunch of methods from ActionController::Base was accessible as actions (callable through a URL) when they shouldn't have been #644 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added UrlHelper#current_page?(options) method to check if the url_for options passed corresponds to the current page
-
-* Fixed https handling on other ports than 443 [Alan Gano]
-
-* Added follow_redirect method for functional tests that'll get-request the redirect that was made. Example:
-
-    def test_create_post
-      post :create, "post" => { "title" => "Exciting!" }
-      assert_redirected_to :action => "show"
-
-      follow_redirect
-      assert_rendered_file "post/show"
-    end
-
-  Limitation: Only works for redirects to other actions within the same controller.
-
-* Fixed double requiring of models with the same name as the controller
-
-* Fixed that query params could be forced to nil on a POST due to the raw post fix #562 [moriq@moriq.com]
-
-* Fixed that cookies shouldn't be frozen in TestRequest #571 [Eric Hodel]
-
-
-*1.4.0* (January 25th, 2005)
-
-* Fixed problems with ActiveRecordStore under the development environment in Rails
-
-* Fixed the ordering of attributes in the xml-decleration of Builder #540 [woeye]
-
-* Added @request.raw_post as a convenience access to @request.env['RAW_POST_DATA'] #534 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added support for automatic id-based indexing for lists of items #532 [dblack]. Example:
-
-    <% @students.each do |@student| %>
-      <%= text_field "student[]", "first_name", :size => "20" %>
-      <%= text_field "student[]", "last_name" %>
-      <%= text_field "student[]", "grade", :size => "5" %>
-    <% end %>
-
-  ...would produce, for say David Black with id 123 and a grace of C+:
-
-    <input id="student_123_first_name" name="student[123][first_name]" size="20"     size="30" type="text" value="David" />
-    <input id="student_123_last_name" name="student[123][last_name]" size="30"  type="text" value="Black" />
-    <input id="student_123_grade" name="student[123][grade]" size="5" type="text"  value="C+" />
-
-* Added :application_prefix to url_for and friends that makes it easier to setup Rails in non-vhost environments #516 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added :encode option to mail_to that'll allow you to masquarede the email address behind javascript or hex encoding #494 [Lucas Carlson]
-
-* Fixed that the content-header was being set to application/octet_stream instead of application/octet-stream on send_date/file [Alexey]
-
-* Removed the need for passing the binding when using CacheHelper#cache
-
-* Added TestResponse#binary_content that'll return as a string the data sent through send_data/send_file for testing #500 [Alexey]
-
-* Added @request.env['RAW_POST_DATA'] for people who need access to the data before Ruby's CGI has parsed it #505 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed that a default fragment store wan't being set to MemoryStore as intended.
-
-* Fixed that all redirect and render calls now return true, so you can use the pattern of "do and return". Example:
-
-    def show
-      redirect_to(:action => "login") and return unless @person.authenticated?
-      render_text "I won't happen unless the person is authenticated"
-    end
-
-* Added that renders and redirects called in before_filters will have the same effect as returning false: stopping the chain. Example:
-
-    class WeblogController
-      before_filter { |c| c.send(:redirect_to_url("http://www.farfaraway.com")}) }
-
-      def hello
-        render_text "I will never be called"
-      end
-    end
-
-
-* Added that only one render or redirect can happen per action. The first call wins and subsequent calls are ignored. Example:
-
-    def do_something
-      redirect_to :action => "elsewhere"
-      render_action "overthere"
-    end
-
-  Only the redirect happens. The rendering call is simply ignored.
-
-
-*1.3.1* (January 18th, 2005)
-
-* Fixed a bug where cookies wouldn't be set if a symbol was used instead of a string as the key
-
-* Added assert_cookie_equal to assert the contents of a named cookie
-
-* Fixed bug in page caching that prevented it from working at all
-
-
-*1.3.0* (January 17th, 2005)
-
-* Added an extensive caching module that offers three levels of granularity (page, action, fragment) and a variety of stores.
-  Read more in ActionController::Caching.
-
-* Added the option of passing a block to ActiveRecordHelper#form in order to add more to the auto-generated form #469 [dom@sisna.com]
-
-    form("entry", :action => "sign") do |form|
-      form << content_tag("b", "Department")
-      form << collection_select("department", "id", @departments, "id", "name")
-    end
-
-* Added arrays as a value option for params in url_for and friends #467 [Eric Anderson]. Example:
-
-    url_for(:controller => 'user', :action => 'delete', :params => { 'username' =>  %( paul john steve ) } )
-    # => /user/delete?username[]=paul&username[]=john&username[]=steve
-
-* Fixed that controller tests can now assert on the use of cookies #466 [Alexey]
-
-* Fixed that send_file would "remember" all the files sent by adding to the headers again and again #458 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed url rewriter confusion when the controller or action name was a substring of the controller_prefix or action_prefix
-
-* Added conditional layouts like <tt>layout "weblog_standard", :except => :rss</tt> #452 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed that MemCacheStore wasn't included by default and added default MemCache object pointing to localhost #447 [Lucas Carlson]
-
-* Added fourth argument to render_collection_of_partials that allows you to specify local_assigns -- just like render_partial #432 [Ryan Davis]
-
-* Fixed that host would choke when cgi.host returned nil #432 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* 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)
-  2. Don't screw up all forms when you click the "Retry with Breakpoint" link multiple times instead of reloading
-     (This caused the parameters to be added multiple times for GET forms leading to trouble.)
-  3. Don't add ?BP-RETRY=1 multiple times
-
-* Added that all renders and redirects now return false, so they can be used as the last line in before_filters to stop execution.
-
-  Before:
-    def authenticate
-      unless @session[:authenticated]
-        redirect_to :controller => "account", :action => "login"
-        return false
-      end
-    end
-
-  After:
-    def authenticate
-      redirect_to(:controller => "account", :action => "login") unless @session[:authenticated]
-    end
-
-* Added conditional filters #431 [Marcel Molina Jr.]. Example:
-
-    class JournalController < ActionController::Base
-      # only require authentication if the current action is edit or delete
-      before_filter :authorize, :only_on => [ :edit, :delete ]
-
-      private
-        def authorize
-          # redirect to login unless authenticated
-        end
-    end
-
-* Added Base#render_nothing as a cleaner way of doing render_text "" when you're not interested in returning anything but an empty response.
-
-* Added the possibility of passing nil to UrlHelper#link_to to use the link itself as the name
-
-
-*1.2.0* (January 4th, 2005)
-
-* Added MemCacheStore for storing session data in Danga's MemCache system [Bob Cottrell]
-  Depends on: MemCached server (http://www.danga.com/memcached/), MemCache client (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/memcache/)
-
-* Added thread-safety to the DRbStore #66, #389 [Ben Stiglitz]
-
-* Added DateHelper#select_time and DateHelper#select_second #373 [Scott Baron]
-
-* Added :host and :protocol options to url_for and friends to redirect to another host and protocol than the current.
-
-* Added class declaration for the MissingFile exception #388 [Kent Sibilev]
-
-* Added "short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s)" to redirects to fulfill compliance with RFC 2616 (HTTP/1.1) section 10.3.3 #397 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Added second boolean parameter to Base.redirect_to_url and Response#redirect to control whether the redirect is permanent or not (301 vs 302) #375 [Hodel]
-
-* Fixed redirects when the controller and action is named the same. Still haven't fixed same controller, module, and action, though #201 [Josh Peek]
-
-* Fixed problems with running multiple functional tests in Rails under 1.8.2 by including hack for test/unit weirdness
-
-* Fixed that @request.remote_ip didn't work in the test environment #369 [Bruno Mattarollo]
-
-
-*1.1.0*
-
-* Added search through session to clear out association caches at the end of each request. This makes it possible to place Active Record objects
-  in the session without worrying about stale data in the associations (the main object is still subject to caching, naturally) #347 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added more informative exception when using helper :some_helper and the helper requires another file that fails, you'll get an
-  error message tells you what file actually failed to load, rather than falling back on assuming it was the helper file itself #346 [dblack]
-
-* Added use of *_before_type_cast for all input and text fields. This is helpful for getting "100,000" back on a integer-based
-  validation where the value would normally be "100".
-
-* Added Request#port_string to get something like ":8080" back on 8080 and "" on 80 (or 443 with https).
-
-* Added Request#domain (returns string) and Request#subdomains (returns array).
-
-* Added POST support for the breakpoint retries, so form processing that raises an exception can be retried with the original request [Florian Gross]
-
-* Fixed regression with Base#reset_session that wouldn't use the DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS [adam@the-kramers.net]
-
-* Fixed error rendering of rxml documents to not just swallow the exception and return 0 (still not guessing the right line, but hey)
-
-* Fixed that textilize and markdown would instantiate their engines even on empty strings. This also fixes #333 [Ulysses]
-
-* Fixed UrlHelper#link_to_unless so it doesn't care if the id is a string or fixnum [Ryan Davis]
-
-
-*1.0.1*
-
-* Fixed a bug that would cause an ApplicationController to require itself three times and hence cause filters to be run three times [evl]
-
-
-*1.0*
-
-* Added that controllers will now attempt to require a model dependency with their name and in a singular attempt for their name.
-  So both PostController and PostsController will automatically have the post.rb model required. If no model is found, no error is raised,
-  as it is then expected that no match is available and the programmer will have included his own models.
-
-* Fixed DateHelper#date_select so that you can pass include_blank as an option even if you don't use start_year and end_year #59 [what-a-day]
-
-* Added that controllers will now search for a layout in $template_root/layouts/$controller_name.r(html|xml), so PostsController will look
-  for layouts/posts.rhtml or layouts/posts.rxml and automatically configure this layout if found #307 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Added FormHelper#radio_button to work with radio buttons like its already possible with check boxes [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Added TemplateError#backtrace that makes it much easier to debug template errors from unit and functional tests
-
-* Added display of error messages with scaffolded form pages
-
-* Added option to ERB templates to swallow newlines by using <% if something -%> instead of just <% if something %>. Example:
-
-    class SomeController < ApplicationController
-    <% if options[:scaffold] %>
-      scaffold :<%= singular_name %>
-    <% end %>
-      helper :post
-
-  ...produces this on post as singular_name:
-
-    class SomeController < ApplicationController
-
-      scaffold :post
-
-      helper :post
-
-  ...where as:
-
-    class SomeController < ApplicationController
-    <% if options[:scaffold] -%>
-      scaffold :<%= singular_name %>
-    <% end -%>
-      helper :post
-
-  ...produces:
-
-    class SomeController < ApplicationController
-      scaffold :post
-      helper :post
-
-  [This undocumented gem for ERb was uncovered by bitsweat]
-
-* Fixed CgiRequest so that it'll now accept session options with Symbols as keys (as the documentation points out) [Suggested by Andreas]
-
-* Added that render_partial will always by default include a counter with value 1 unless there is a counter passed in via the
-  local_assigns hash that overrides it. As a result, render_collection_of_partials can still be written in terms of render_partial
-  and partials that make use of a counter can be called without problems from both render_collection_of_partials as well as
-  render_partial #295 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed CgiRequest#out to fall back to #write if $stdout doesn't have #syswrite [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed all helpers so that they use XHTML compliant double quotes for values instead of single quotes [htonl/Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added link_to_image(src, options = {}, html_options = {}). Documentation:
-
-    Creates a link tag to the image residing at the +src+ using an URL created by the set of +options+. See the valid options in
-    link:classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000021. It's also possible to pass a string instead of an options hash to
-    get a link tag that just points without consideration. The <tt>html_options</tt> works jointly for the image and ahref tag by
-    letting the following special values enter the options on the image and the rest goes to the ahref:
-
-    ::alt: If no alt text is given, the file name part of the +src+ is used (capitalized and without the extension)
-    ::size: Supplied as "XxY", so "30x45" becomes width="30" and height="45"
-    ::align: Sets the alignment, no special features
-
-    The +src+ can be supplied as a...
-    * full path, like "/my_images/image.gif"
-    * file name, like "rss.gif", that gets expanded to "/images/rss.gif"
-    * file name without extension, like "logo", that gets expanded to "/images/logo.png"
-
-* Fixed to_input_field_tag so it no longer explicitly uses InstanceTag.value if value was specified in the options hash [evl]
-
-* Added the possibility of having validate be protected for assert_(in)valid_column #263 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added that ActiveRecordHelper#form now calls url_for on the :action option.
-
-* Added all the HTTP methods as alternatives to the generic "process" for functional testing #276 [Tobias Lütke]. Examples:
-
-    # Calls Controller#miletone with a GET request
-    process :milestone
-
-    # Calls Controller#miletone with a POST request that has parameters
-    post :milestone, { "name" => "David" }
-
-    # Calls Controller#milestone with a HEAD request that has both parameters and session data
-    head :milestone, { "id" => 1 }, { "user_id" => 23 }
-
-  This is especially useful for testing idiomatic REST web services.
-
-* Added proper handling of HEAD requests, so that content isn't returned (Request#head? added as well) #277 [Eric Hodel]
-
-* Added indifference to whether @headers["Content-Type"], @headers["Content-type"], or @headers["content-type"] is used.
-
-* Added TestSession#session_id that returns an empty string to make it easier to functional test applications that doesn't use
-  cookie-based sessions #275 [jcf]
-
-* Fixed that cached template loading would still check the file system to see if the file existed #258 [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Added options to tailor header tag, div id, and div class on ActiveRecordHelper#error_messages_for [Josh Peek]
-
-* Added graceful handling of non-alphanumeric names and misplaced brackets in input parameters [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added a new container for cookies that makes them more intuative to use. The old methods of cookie and @cookies have been deprecated.
-
-  Examples for writing:
-
-    cookies["user_name"] = "david" # => Will set a simple session cookie
-    cookies["login"] = { "value" => "XJ-122", "expires" => Time.now + 360} # => Will set a cookie that expires in 1 hour
-
-  Examples for reading:
-
-    cookies["user_name"] # => "david"
-    cookies.size         # => 2
-
-  Read more in ActionController::Cookies
-
-  NOTE: If you were using the old accessor (cookies instead of @cookies), this could potentially break your code -- if you expect a full cookie object!
-
-* Added the opportunity to defined method_missing on a controller which will handle all requests for actions not otherwise defined #223 [timb]
-
-* Fixed AbstractRequest#remote_ip for users going through proxies - Patch #228 [Eric Hodel]
-
-* Added Request#ssl? which is shorthand for @request.protocol == "https://"
-
-* Added the choice to call form_tag with no arguments (resulting in a form posting to current action) [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Upgraded to Builder 1.2.1
-
-* Added :module as an alias for :controller_prefix to url_for and friends, so you can do redirect_to(:module => "shop", :controller => "purchases")
-  and go to /shop/purchases/
-
-* Added support for controllers in modules through @params["module"].
-
-* Added reloading for dependencies under cached environments like FastCGI and mod_ruby. This makes it possible to use those environments for development.
-  This is turned on by default, but can be turned off with ActionController::Base.reload_dependencies = false in production environments.
-
-  NOTE: This will only have an effect if you use the new model, service, and observer class methods to mark dependencies. All libraries loaded through
-  require will be "forever" cached. You can, however, use ActionController::Base.load_or_require("library") to get this behavior outside of the new
-  dependency style.
-
-* Added that controllers will automatically require their own helper if possible. So instead of doing:
-
-    class MsgController < ApplicationController
-      helper :msg
-    end
-
-  ...you can just do:
-
-    class MsgController < ApplicationController
-    end
-
-* Added dependencies_on(layer) to query the dependencies of a controller. Examples:
-
-    MsgController.dependencies_on(:model)    # => [ :post, :comment, :attachment ]
-    MsgController.dependencies_on(:service)  # => [ :notification_service ]
-    MsgController.dependencies_on(:observer) # => [ :comment_observer ]
-
-* Added a new dependency model with the class methods model, service, and observer. Example:
-
-    class MsgController < ApplicationController
-      model    :post, :comment, :attachment
-      service  :notification_service
-      observer :comment_observer
-    end
-
-  These new "keywords" remove the need for explicitly calling 'require' in most cases. The observer method even instantiates the
-  observer as well as requiring it.
-
-* Fixed that link_to would escape & in the url again after url_for already had done so
-
-
-*0.9.5* (28)
-
-* Added helper_method to designate that a given private or protected method you should available as a helper in the view. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed assert_rendered_file so it actually verifies if that was the rendered file [htonl]
-
-* Added the option for sharing partial spacer templates just like partials themselves [radsaq]
-
-* Fixed that Russia was named twice in country_select [alexey]
-
-* Fixed request_origin to use remote_ip instead of remote_addr [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed link_to breakage when nil was passed for html_options [alexey]
-
-* Fixed redirect_to on a virtual server setup with apache with a port other than the default where it would forget the port number [seanohalpin]
-
-* Fixed that auto-loading webrick on Windows would cause file uploads to fail [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed issues with sending files on WEBrick by setting the proper binmode [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added send_data as an alternative to send_file when the stream is not read off the filesystem but from a database or generated live [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added a new way to include helpers that doesn't require the include hack and can go without the explicit require. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-  Before:
-
-    module WeblogHelper
-      def self.included(controller) #:nodoc:
-        controller.ancestors.include?(ActionController::Base) ? controller.add_template_helper(self) : super
-      end
-    end
-
-    require 'weblog_helper'
-    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
-      include WeblogHelper
-    end
-
-  After:
-
-    module WeblogHelper
-    end
-
-    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
-      helper :weblog
-    end
-
-* Added a default content-type of "text/xml" to .rxml renders [Ryan Platte]
-
-* Fixed that when /controller/index was requested by the browser, url_for would generates wrong URLs [Ryan Platte]
-
-* Fixed a bug that would share cookies between users when using FastCGI and mod_ruby [The Robot Co-op]
-
-* Added an optional third hash parameter to the process method in functional tests that takes the session data to be used [alexey]
-
-* Added UrlHelper#mail_to to make it easier to create mailto: style ahrefs
-
-* Added better error messages for layouts declared with the .rhtml extension (which they shouldn't) [geech]
-
-* Added another case to DateHelper#distance_in_minutes to return "less than a minute" instead of "0 minutes" and "1 minute" instead of "1 minutes"
-
-* Added a hidden field to checkboxes generated with FormHelper#check_box that will make sure that the unchecked value (usually 0)
-  is sent even if the checkbox is not checked. This relieves the controller from doing custom checking if the checkbox wasn't
-  checked. BEWARE: This might conflict with your run-on-the-mill work-around code. [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Fixed error_message_on to just use the first if more than one error had been added [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed that URL rewriting with /controller/ was working but /controller was not and that you couldn't use :id on index [geech]
-
-* Fixed a bug with link_to where the :confirm option wouldn't be picked up if the link was a straight url instead of an option hash
-
-* Changed scaffolding of forms to use <label> tags instead of <b> to please W3C [evl]
-
-* Added DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words_to_now(from_time) that works like distance_of_time_in_words,
-  but where <tt>to_time</tt> is fixed to <tt>Time.now</tt>.
-
-* Added assert_flash_equal(expected, key, message), assert_session_equal(expected, key, message),
-  assert_assigned_equal(expected, key, message) to test the contents of flash, session, and template assigns.
-
-* Improved the failure report on assert_success when the action triggered a redirection [alexey].
-
-* Added "markdown" to accompany "textilize" as a TextHelper method for converting text to HTML using the Markdown syntax.
-  BlueCloth must be installed in order for this method to become available.
-
-* Made sure that an active session exists before we attempt to delete it [Samuel]
-
-* Changed link_to with Javascript confirmation to use onclick instead of onClick for XHTML validity [Scott Barron]
-
-
-*0.9.0 (43)*
-
-* Added support for Builder-based templates for files with the .rxml extension. These new templates are an alternative to ERb that
-  are especially useful for generating XML content, such as this RSS example from Basecamp:
-
-    xml.rss("version" => "2.0", "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/") do
-      xml.channel do
-        xml.title(@feed_title)
-        xml.link(@url)
-        xml.description "Basecamp: Recent items"
-        xml.language "en-us"
-        xml.ttl "40"
-
-        for item in @recent_items
-          xml.item do
-            xml.title(item_title(item))
-            xml.description(item_description(item)) if item_description(item)
-            xml.pubDate(item_pubDate(item))
-            xml.guid(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
-            xml.link(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
-
-            xml.tag!("dc:creator", item.author_name) if item_has_creator?(item)
-          end
-        end
-      end
-    end
-
-    ...which will generate something like:
-
-    <rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
-      <channel>
-        <title>Web Site Redesign</title>

-
-  The "xml" local variable is automatically available in .rxml templates. You construct the template by calling a method with the name
-  of the tag you want. Options for the tag can be specified as a hash parameter to that method.
-
-  Builder-based templates can be mixed and matched with the regular ERb ones. The only thing that differentiates them is the extension.
-  No new methods have been added to the public interface to handle them.
-
-  Action Pack ships with a version of Builder, but it will use the RubyGems version if you have one installed.
-
-  Read more about Builder on: http://onestepback.org/index.cgi/Tech/Ruby/StayingSimple.rdoc
-
-  [Builder is created by Jim Weirich]
-
-* Added much improved support for functional testing [what-a-day].
-
-    # Old style
-    def test_failing_authenticate
-      @request.request_uri = "/login/authenticate"
-      @request.action = "authenticate"
-      @request.request_parameters["user_name"] = "nop"
-      @request.request_parameters["password"]  = ""
-
-      response = LoginController.process_test(@request)
-
-      assert_equal "The username and/or password you entered is invalid.", response.session["flash"]["alert"]
-      assert_equal "http://37signals.basecamp.com/login/", response.headers["location"]
-    end
-
-    # New style
-    def test_failing_authenticate
-      process :authenticate, "user_name" => "nop", "password" => ""
-      assert_flash_has 'alert'
-      assert_redirected_to :action => "index"
-    end
-
-  See a full example on http://codepaste.org/view/paste/334
-
-* Increased performance by up to 100% with a revised cookie class that fixes the performance problems with the
-  default one that ships with 1.8.1 and below. It replaces the inheritance on SimpleDelegator with DelegateClass(Array)
-  following the suggestion from Matz on:
-  http://groups.google.com/groups?th=e3a4e68ba042f842&seekm=c3sioe%241qvm%241%40news.cybercity.dk#link14
-
-* Added caching for compiled ERb templates. On Basecamp, it gave between 8.5% and 71% increase in performance [Andreas Schwarz].
-
-* Added implicit counter variable to render_collection_of_partials [Marcel Molina Jr.]. From the docs:
-
-    <%= render_collection_of_partials "ad", @advertisements %>
-
-    This will render "advertiser/_ad.rhtml" and pass the local variable +ad+ to the template for display. An iteration counter
-    will automatically be made available to the template with a name of the form +partial_name_counter+. In the case of the
-    example above, the template would be fed +ad_counter+.
-
-* Fixed problems with two sessions being maintained on reset_session that would particularly screw up ActiveRecordStore.
-
-* Fixed reset_session to start an entirely new session instead of merely deleting the old. So you can now safely access @session
-  after calling reset_ression and expect it to work.
-
-* Added @request.get?, @request.post?, @request.put?, @request.delete? as convenience query methods for @request.method [geech]
-
-* Added @request.method that'll return a symbol representing the HTTP method, such as :get, :post, :put, :delete [geech]
-
-* Changed @request.remote_ip and @request.host to work properly even when a proxy is in front of the application [geech]
-
-* Added JavaScript confirm feature to link_to. Documentation:
-
-    The html_options have a special feature for creating javascript confirm alerts where if you pass
-    :confirm => 'Are you sure?', the link will be guarded with a JS popup asking that question.
-    If the user accepts, the link is processed, otherwise not.
-
-* Added link_to_unless_current as a UrlHelper method [Sam Stephenson]. Documentation:
-
-    Creates a link tag of the given +name+ using an URL created by the set of +options+, unless the current
-    controller, action, and id are the same as the link's, in which case only the name is returned (or the
-    given block is yielded, if one exists). This is useful for creating link bars where you don't want to link
-    to the page currently being viewed.
-
-* Fixed that UrlRewriter (the driver for url_for, link_to, etc) would blow up when the anchor was an integer [alexey]
-
-* Added that layouts defined with no directory defaults to layouts. So layout "weblog/standard" will use
-  weblog/standard (as always), but layout "standard" will use layouts/standard.
-
-* Fixed that partials (or any template starting with an underscore) was publically viewable [Marten]
-
-* Added HTML escaping to text_area helper.
-
-* Added :overwrite_params to url_for and friends to keep the parameters as they were passed to the current action and only overwrite a subset.
-  The regular :params will clear the slate so you need to manually add in existing parameters if you want to reuse them. [raphinou]
-
-* Fixed scaffolding problem with composite named objects [Moo Jester]
-
-* Added the possibility for shared partials. Example:
-
-    <%= render_partial "advertisement/ad", ad %>
-
-  This will render the partial "advertisement/_ad.rhtml" regardless of which controller this is being called from.
-
-  [Jacob Fugal]
-
-* Fixed crash when encountering forms that have empty-named fields [James Prudente]
-
-* Added check_box form helper method now accepts true/false as well as 1/0 [what-a-day]
-
-* Fixed the lacking creation of all directories with install.rb [Dave Steinberg]
-
-* Fixed that date_select returns valid XHTML selected options [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Fixed referencing an action with the same name as a controller in url_for [what-a-day]
-
-* Fixed the destructive nature of Base#attributes= on the argument [Kevin Watt]
-
-* Changed ActionControllerError to decent from StandardError instead of Exception. It can now be caught by a generic rescue.
-
-* Added SessionRestoreError that is raised when a session being restored holds objects where there is no class available.
-
-* Added block as option for inline filters. So what used to be written as:
-
-    before_filter Proc { |controller| return false if controller.params["stop_action"] }
-
-  ...can now be as:
-
-    before_filter { |controller| return false if controller.params["stop_action"] }
-
-  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Made the following methods public (was protected): url_for, controller_class_name, controller_name, action_name
-  This makes it easier to write filters without cheating around the encapsulation with send.
-
-* ActionController::Base#reset_session now sticks even if you access @session afterwards [Kent Sibilev]
-
-* Improved the exception logging so the log file gets almost as much as in-browser debugging.
-
-* Changed base class setup from AbstractTemplate/ERbTemplate to ActionView::Base. This change should be harmless unless you were
-  accessing Action View directly in which case you now need to reference the Base class.\
-
-* Added that render_collection_of_partials returns nil if the collection is empty. This makes showing a “no items” message easier.
-  For example: <%= render_collection_of_partials("message", @messages) || "No messages found." %> [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Added :month_before_year as an option to date_select to get the month select before the year. Especially useful for credit card forms.
-
-* Added :add_month_numbers to select_month to get options like "3 - March".
-
-* Removed Base.has_active_layout? as it couldn't answer the question without the instance. Use Base#active_layout instead.
-
-* Removed redundant call to update on ActionController::Base#close_session [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Fixed that DRb Store accidently started its own server (instead of just client) [Andreas]
-
-* Fixed strip_links so it now works across multiple lines [Chad Fowler]
-
-* Fixed the TemplateError exception to show the proper trace on to_s (useful for unit test debugging)
-
-* Implemented class inheritable attributes without eval [Caio Chassot]
-
-* Made TextHelper#concat accept binding as it would otherwise not work
-
-* The FormOptionsHelper will now call to_s on the keys and values used to generate options
-
-
-*0.8.5*
-
-* Introduced passing of locally scoped variables between templates:
-
-    You can pass local variables to sub templates by using a hash of with the variable
-    names as keys and the objects as values:
-
-      <%= render "shared/header", { "headline" => "Welcome", "person" => person } %>
-
-    These can now be accessed in shared/header with:
-
-      Headline: <%= headline %>
-      First name: <%= person.first_name %>
-
-* Introduced the concept of partials as a certain type of sub templates:
-
-    There's also a convenience method for rendering sub templates within the current
-    controller that depends on a single object (we call this kind of sub templates for
-    partials). It relies on the fact that partials should follow the naming convention
-    of being prefixed with an underscore -- as to separate them from regular templates
-    that could be rendered on their own. In the template for Advertiser#buy, we could have:
-
-      <% for ad in @advertisements %>
-        <%= render_partial "ad", ad %>
-      <% end %>
-
-    This would render "advertiser/_ad.rhtml" and pass the local variable +ad+
-    for the template to display.
-
-    == Rendering a collection of partials
-
-    The example of partial use describes a familar pattern where a template needs
-    to iterate over a array and render a sub template for each of the elements.
-    This pattern has been implemented as a single method that accepts an array and
-    renders a partial by the same name of as the elements contained within. So the
-    three-lined example in "Using partials" can be rewritten with a single line:
-
-      <%= render_collection_of_partials "ad", @advertisements %>
-
-    So this will render "advertiser/_ad.rhtml" and pass the local variable +ad+ for
-    the template to display.
-
-* Improved send_file by allowing a wide range of options to be applied [Jeremy Kemper]:
-
-    Sends the file by streaming it 4096 bytes at a time. This way the
-    whole file doesn't need to be read into memory at once.  This makes
-    it feasible to send even large files.
-
-    Be careful to sanitize the path parameter if it coming from a web
-    page.  send_file(@params['path'] allows a malicious user to
-    download any file on your server.
-
-    Options:
-    * <tt>:filename</tt> - specifies the filename the browser will see.
-      Defaults to File.basename(path).
-    * <tt>:type</tt> - specifies an HTTP content type.
-      Defaults to 'application/octet-stream'.
-    * <tt>:disposition</tt> - specifies whether the file will be shown inline or downloaded.
-      Valid values are 'inline' and 'attachment' (default).
-    * <tt>:buffer_size</tt> - specifies size (in bytes) of the buffer used to stream
-      the file.  Defaults to 4096.
-
-    The default Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers are
-    set to download arbitrary binary files in as many browsers as
-    possible.  IE versions 4, 5, 5.5, and 6 are all known to have
-    a variety of quirks (especially when downloading over SSL).
-
-    Simple download:
-      send_file '/path/to.zip'
-
-    Show a JPEG in browser:
-      send_file '/path/to.jpeg', :type => 'image/jpeg', :disposition => 'inline'
-
-    Read about the other Content-* HTTP headers if you'd like to
-    provide the user with more information (such as Content-Description).
-    http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.11
-
-    Also be aware that the document may be cached by proxies and browsers.
-    The Pragma and Cache-Control headers declare how the file may be cached
-    by intermediaries.  They default to require clients to validate with
-    the server before releasing cached responses.  See
-    http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/ for an overview of web caching and
-    http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.9
-    for the Cache-Control header spec.
-
-* Added pluralize method to the TextHelper that makes it easy to get strings like "1 message", "3 messages"
-
-* Added proper escaping for the rescues [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Added proper escaping for the option and collection tags [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Fixed NaN errors on benchmarking [Jim Weirich]
-
-* Fixed query string parsing for URLs that use the escaped versions of & or ; as part of a key or value
-
-* Fixed bug with custom Content-Type headers being in addition to rather than instead of the default header.
-  (This bug didn't matter with neither CGI or mod_ruby, but FCGI exploded on it) [With help from Ara T. Howard]
-
-
-*0.8.0*
-
-* Added select, collection_select, and country_select to make it easier for Active Records to set attributes through
-  drop-down lists of options. Example:
-
-    <%= select "person", "gender", %w( Male Female ) %>
-
-  ...would give the following:
-
-    <select name="person[gender]" id="person_gender"><option>Male</option><option>Female</option></select>
-
-* Added an option for getting multiple values on a single form name into an array instead of having the last one overwrite.
-  This is especially useful for groups of checkboxes, which can now be written as:
-
-    <input type="checkbox" name="rights[]" value="CREATE" />
-    <input type="checkbox" name="rights[]" value="UPDATE" />
-    <input type="checkbox" name="rights[]" value="DELETE" />
-
-  ...and retrieved in the controller action with:
-
-    @params["rights"] # => [ "CREATE", "UPDATE", "DELETE" ]
-
-  The old behavior (where the last one wins, "DELETE" in the example) is still available. Just don't add "[]" to the
-  end of the name. [Scott Baron]
-
-* Added send_file which uses the new render_text block acceptance to make it feasible to send large files.
-  The files is sent with a bunch of voodoo HTTP headers required to get arbitrary files to download as
-  expected in as many browsers as possible (eg, IE hacks). Example:
-
-  def play_movie
-    send_file "/movies/that_movie.avi"
-  end
-
-  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* render_text now accepts a block for deferred rendering. Useful for streaming large files, displaying
-  a “please wait” message during a complex search, etc. Streaming example:
-
-    render_text do |response|
-      File.open(path, 'rb') do |file|
-        while buf = file.read(1024)
-          print buf
-        end
-      end
-    end
-
-  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added a new Tag Helper that can generate generic tags programmatically insted of through HTML. Example:
-
-    tag("br", "clear" => "all") => <br clear="all" />
-
-  ...that's usually not terribly interesting (unless you have a lot of options already in a hash), but it
-  gives way for more specific tags, like the new form tag:
-
-    form_tag({ :controller => "weblog", :action => "update" }, { :multipart => "true", "style" => "width: 200px"}) =>
-      <form action="/weblog/update" enctype="multipart/formdata" style="width: 200px">
-
-  There's even a "pretty" version for people who don't like to open tags in code and close them in HTML:
-
-    <%= start_form_tag :action => "update" %>
-      # all the input fields
-    <%= end_form_tag %>
-
-  (end_form_tag just returns "</form>")
-
-* The selected parameter in options_for_select may now also an array of values to be selected when
-  using a multiple select. Example:
-
-    options_for_select([ "VISA", "Mastercard", "Discover" ], ["VISA", "Discover"]) =>
-      <option selected>VISA</option>\n<option>Mastercard</option>\n<option selected>Discover</option>
-
-  [Scott Baron]
-
-* Changed the URL rewriter so controller_prefix and action_prefix can be used in isolation. You can now do:
-
-    url_for(:controller_prefix => "clients")
-
-  ...or:
-
-    url_for(:action_prefix => "category/messages")
-
-  Neither would have worked in isolation before (:controller_prefix required a :controller and :action_prefix required an :action)
-
-* Started process of a cleaner separation between Action Controller and ERb-based Action Views by introducing an
-  abstract base class for views. And Amita adapter could be fitted in more easily now.
-
-* The date helper methods date_select and datetime_select now also use the field error wrapping
-  (div with class fieldWithErrors by default).
-
-* The date helper methods date_select and datetime_select can now discard selects
-
-* Added option on AbstractTemplate to specify a different field error wrapping. Example:
-
-    ActionView::AbstractTemplate.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html, instance|
-      "<p>#{instance.method_name + instance.error_message}</p><div style='background-color: red'>#{html}</div>"
-    end
-
-  ...would give the following on a Post#title (text field) error:
-
-    <p>Title can't be empty</p>
-    <div style='background-color: red'>
-      <input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="Hello World" />
-    </div>
-
-* The UrlHelper methods url_for and link_to will now by default only return paths, not complete URIs.
-  That should make it easier to fit a Rails application behind a proxy or load-balancer.
-  You can overwrite this by passing :only_path => false as part of the options. [Suggested by U235]
-
-* Fixed bug with having your own layout for use with scaffolding [Kevin Radloff]
-
-* Fixed bug where redirect_to_path didn't append the port on non-standard ports [dhawkins]
-
-* Scaffolding plays nicely with single-table inheritance (LoadErrors are caught) [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Scaffolding plays nice with plural models like Category/categories [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed missing suffix appending in scaffolding [Kevin Radloff]
-
-
-*0.7.9*
-
-* The "form" method now present boolean fields from PostgreSQL as drop-down menu. [Scott]
-
-* Scaffolding now automatically attempts to require the class that's being scaffolded.
-
-* Scaffolding will use the current active layout, instead of its own, if one has been specified. Example:
-
-    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
-      layout "layouts/weblog"
-      scaffold :post
-    end
-
-  [Suggested by Scott]
-
-* Changed url_for (and all the that drives, like redirect_to, link_to, link_for) so you can pass it a symbol instead of a hash.
-  This symbol is a method reference which is then called to calculate the url. Example:
-
-    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
-      def update
-        # do some update
-        redirect_to :dashboard_url
-      end
-
-      protected
-        def dashboard_url
-          if @project.active?
-            url_for :controller => "project", :action => "dashboard"
-          else
-            url_for :controller => "account", :action => "dashboard"
-          end
-        end
-    end
-
-* Added default_url_options to specialize behavior for all url_for (and friends) calls:
-
-    Overwrite to implement a number of default options that all url_for-based methods will use.
-    The default options should come in form of a hash, just like the one you would use for
-    url_for directly. Example:
-
-      def default_url_options(options)
-        { :controller_prefix => @project.active? ? "projects/" : "accounts/" }
-      end
-
-    As you can infer from the example, this is mostly useful for situations where you want to
-    centralize dynamic dissions about the urls as they stem from the business domain. Please note
-    that any individual url_for call can always override the defaults set by this method.
-
-
-* Changed url_for so that an "id" passed in the :params is not treated special. You need to use the dedicated :id to get
-  the special auto path-params treatment. Considering the url http://localhost:81/friends/list
-
-    url_for(:action => "show", :params => { "id" => 5 })
-      ...used to give http://localhost:81/friends/show/5
-      ......now gives http://localhost:81/friends/show?id=5
-
-    If you want the automated id behavior, do:
-
-    url_for(:action => "show", :id => 5 )
-      ....which gives http://localhost:81/friends/show/5
-
-
-* Fixed problem with anchor being inserted before path parameters with url_for (and friends)
-
-
-*0.7.8*
-
-* Fixed session bug where you couldn't store any objects that didn't exist in the standard library
-  (such as Active Record objects).
-
-* Added reset_session method for Action Controller objects to clear out all objects in the session.
-
-* Fixed that exceptions raised during filters are now also caught by the default rescues
-
-* Added new around_filter for doing before and after filtering with a single object [Florian Weber]:
-
-    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
-      around_filter BenchmarkingFilter.new
-
-      # Before this action is performed, BenchmarkingFilter#before(controller) is executed
-      def index
-      end
-      # After this action has been performed, BenchmarkingFilter#after(controller) is executed
-    end
-
-    class BenchmarkingFilter
-      def initialize
-        @runtime
-      end
-
-      def before
-        start_timer
-      end
-
-      def after
-        stop_timer
-        report_result
-      end
-    end
-
-* Added the options for specifying a different name and id for the form helper methods than what is guessed [Florian Weber]:
-
-    text_field "post", "title"
-      ...just gives: <input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="" />
-
-    text_field "post", "title", "id" => "title_for_post", "name" => "first_post_title"
-      ...can now give: <input id="title_for_post" name="first_post_title" size="30" type="text" value="" />
-
-* Added DebugHelper with a single "debug" method for doing pretty dumps of objects in the view
-  (now used in the default rescues to better present the contents of session and template variables)
-
-* Added note to log about the templates rendered within layouts (before just the layout was shown)
-
-* Fixed redirects on https setups [Andreas]
-
-* Fixed scaffolding problem on the edit action when using :suffix => true [Scott]
-
-* Fixed scaffolding problem where implementing list.rhtml wouldn't work for the index action
-
-* URLs generated now uses &amp; instead of just & so pages using it can validate with W3C [Spotted by Andreas]
-
-
-*0.7.7*
-
-* Fixed bug in CGI extension that prevented multipart forms from working
-
-
-*0.7.6*
-
-* Included ERB::Util so all templates can easily escape HTML content with <%=h @person.content %>
-
-* All requests are now considered local by default, so everyone will be exposed to detailed debugging screens on errors.
-  When the application is ready to go public, set ActionController::Base.consider_all_requests_local to false,
-  and implement the protected method local_request? in the controller to determine when debugging screens should be shown.
-
-* Fixed three bugs with the url_for/redirect_to/link_to handling. Considering the url http://localhost:81/friends/show/1
-
-    url_for(:action => "list")
-      ...used to give http://localhost:81/friends/list/1
-      ......now gives http://localhost:81/friends/list
-
-    url_for(:controller => "friends", :action => "destroy", :id => 5)
-      ...used to give http://localhost:81/friends/destroy
-      ......now gives http://localhost:81/friends/destroy/5
-
-  Considering the url http://localhost:81/teachers/show/t
-
-    url_for(:action => "list", :id => 5)
-      ...used to give http://localhost:81/5eachers/list/t
-      ......now gives http://localhost:81/teachers/list/5
-
-  [Reported by David Morton & Radsaq]
-
-* Logs exception to logfile in addition to showing them for local requests
-
-* Protects the eruby load behind a begin/rescue block. eRuby is not required to run ActionController.
-
-* Fixed install.rb to also install clean_logger and the templates
-
-* Added ActiveRecordStore as a session option. Read more in lib/action_controller/session/active_record_store.rb [Tim Bates]
-
-* Change license to MIT License (and included license file in package)
-
-* Application error page now returns status code 500 instead of 200
-
-* Fixed using Procs as layout handlers [Florian Weber]
-
-* Fixed bug with using redirects ports other than 80
-
-* Added index method that calls list on scaffolding
-
-
-*0.7.5*
-
-* First public release

+## Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased) ##
+
+*   `expires_in` accepts a `must_revalidate` flag. If true, "must-revalidate"
+    is added to the Cache-Control header. *fxn*
+
+*   Add `date_field` and `date_field_tag` helpers which render an `input[type="date"]` tag *Olek Janiszewski*
+
+*   Adds `image_url`, `javascript_url`, `stylesheet_url`, `audio_url`, `video_url`, and `font_url`
+    to assets tag helper. These URL helpers will return the full path to your assets. This is useful
+    when you are going to reference this asset from external host. *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+*   Default responder will now always use your overridden block in `respond_with` to render your response. *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+*   Allow `value_method` and `text_method` arguments from `collection_select` and
+    `options_from_collection_for_select` to receive an object that responds to `:call`,
+    such as a `proc`, to evaluate the option in the current element context. This works
+    the same way with `collection_radio_buttons` and `collection_check_boxes`.
+
+    *Carlos Antonio da Silva + Rafael Mendonça França*
+
+*   Add `collection_check_boxes` form helper, similar to `collection_select`:
+    Example:
+
+      collection_check_boxes :post, :author_ids, Author.all, :id, :name
+      # Outputs something like:
+      <input id="post_author_ids_1" name="post[author_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="1" />
+      <label for="post_author_ids_1">D. Heinemeier Hansson</label>

+      <label for="post_author_ids_2">D. Thomas</label>
+      <input name="post[author_ids][]" type="hidden" value="" />
+
+    The label/check_box pairs can be customized with a block.
+
+    *Carlos Antonio da Silva + Rafael Mendonça França*
+
+*   Add `collection_radio_buttons` form helper, similar to `collection_select`:
+    Example:
+
+      collection_radio_buttons :post, :author_id, Author.all, :id, :name
+      # Outputs something like:
+      <input id="post_author_id_1" name="post[author_id]" type="radio" value="1" />

+      <label for="post_author_id_2">D. Thomas</label>
+
+    The label/radio_button pairs can be customized with a block.
+
+    *Carlos Antonio da Silva + Rafael Mendonça França*
+
+*   check_box with `:form` html5 attribute will now replicate the `:form`
+    attribute to the hidden field as well. *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+
+*   `label` form helper accepts :for => nil to not generate the attribute. *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+
+*   Add `:format` option to number_to_percentage *Rodrigo Flores*
+
+*   Add `config.action_view.logger` to configure logger for ActionView. *Rafael Mendonça França*
+
+*   Deprecated ActionController::Integration in favour of ActionDispatch::Integration
+
+*   Deprecated ActionController::IntegrationTest in favour of ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest

+
+*   Deprecated ActionController::Routing in favour of ActionDispatch::Routing
+
+*   check_box helper with :disabled => true will generate a disabled hidden field to conform with the HTML convention where disabled fields are not submitted with the form.
+    This is a behavior change, previously the hidden tag had a value of the disabled checkbox.
+    *Tadas Tamosauskas*
+
+*   `favicon_link_tag` helper will now use the favicon in app/assets by default. *Lucas Caton*
+
+*    `ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper#highlight` now defaults to the
+     HTML5 `mark` element. *Brian Cardarella*
+
+## Rails 3.2.0 (January 20, 2012) ##
+
+*   Add `config.action_dispatch.default_charset` to configure default charset for ActionDispatch::Response. *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+
+*   Deprecate setting default charset at controller level, use the new `config.action_dispatch.default_charset` instead. *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+
+*   Deprecate ActionController::UnknownAction in favour of AbstractController::ActionNotFound. *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+
+*   Deprecate ActionController::DoubleRenderError in favour of AbstractController::DoubleRenderError. *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+
+*   Deprecate method_missing handling for not found actions, use action_missing instead. *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+
+*   Deprecate ActionController#rescue_action, ActionController#initialize_template_class, and ActionController#assign_shortcuts.
+    These methods were not being used internally anymore and are going to be removed in Rails 4. *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+
+*   Use a BodyProxy instead of including a Module that responds to
+    close. Closes #4441 if Active Record is disabled assets are delivered
+    correctly *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Rails initialization with initialize_on_precompile = false should set assets_dir *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Add font_path helper method *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Depends on rack ~> 1.4.0 *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Add :gzip option to `caches_page`. The default option can be configured globally using `page_cache_compression` *Andrey Sitnik*
+
+*   The ShowExceptions middleware now accepts a exceptions application that is responsible to render an exception when the application fails. The application is invoked with a copy of the exception in `env["action_dispatch.exception"]` and with the PATH_INFO rewritten to the status code. *José Valim*
+
+*   Add `button_tag` support to ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder.
+
+    This support mimics the default behavior of `submit_tag`.
+
+    Example:
+
+        <%= form_for @post do |f| %>
+          <%= f.button %>
+        <% end %>
+
+*   Date helpers accept a new option, `:use_two_digit_numbers = true`, that renders select boxes for months and days with a leading zero without changing the respective values.
+    For example, this is useful for displaying ISO8601-style dates such as '2011-08-01'. *Lennart Fridén and Kim Persson*
+
+*   Make ActiveSupport::Benchmarkable a default module for ActionController::Base, so the #benchmark method is once again available in the controller context like it used to be *DHH*
+
+*   Deprecated implied layout lookup in controllers whose parent had a explicit layout set:
+
+        class ApplicationController
+          layout "application"
+        end
+
+        class PostsController < ApplicationController
+        end
+
+    In the example above, Posts controller will no longer automatically look up for a posts layout.
+
+    If you need this functionality you could either remove `layout "application"` from ApplicationController or explicitly set it to nil in PostsController. *José Valim*
+
+*   Rails will now use your default layout (such as "layouts/application") when you specify a layout with `:only` and `:except` condition, and those conditions fail. *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+    For example, consider this snippet:
+
+        class CarsController
+          layout 'single_car', :only => :show
+        end
+
+    Rails will use 'layouts/single_car' when a request comes in `:show` action, and use 'layouts/application' (or 'layouts/cars', if exists) when a request comes in for any other actions.
+
+*   form_for with +:as+ option uses "#{action}_#{as}" as css class and id:
+
+    Before:
+
+        form_for(@user, :as => 'client') # => "<form class="client_new">..."
+
+    Now:
+
+        form_for(@user, :as => 'client') # => "<form class="new_client">..."
+
+    *Vasiliy Ermolovich*
+
+*   Allow rescue responses to be configured through a railtie as in `config.action_dispatch.rescue_responses`. Please look at ActiveRecord::Railtie for an example *José Valim*
+
+*   Allow fresh_when/stale? to take a record instead of an options hash *DHH*
+
+*   Assets should use the request protocol by default or default to relative if no request is available *Jonathan del Strother*
+
+*   Log "Filter chain halted as CALLBACKNAME rendered or redirected" every time a before callback halts *José Valim*
+
+*   You can provide a namespace for your form to ensure uniqueness of id attributes on form elements.
+    The namespace attribute will be prefixed with underscore on the generate HTML id. *Vasiliy Ermolovich*
+
+    Example:
+
+        <%= form_for(@offer, :namespace => 'namespace') do |f| %>
+          <%= f.label :version, 'Version' %>:
+          <%= f.text_field :version %>
+        <% end %>
+
+*   Refactor ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions. The controller is responsible for choosing to show exceptions when `consider_all_requests_local` is false.
+
+    It's possible to override `show_detailed_exceptions?` in controllers to specify which requests should provide debugging information on errors. The default value is now false, meaning local requests in production will no longer show the detailed exceptions page unless `show_detailed_exceptions?` is overridden and set to `request.local?`.
+
+*   Responders now return 204 No Content for API requests without a response body (as in the new scaffold) *José Valim*
+
+*   Added ActionDispatch::RequestId middleware that'll make a unique X-Request-Id header available to the response and enables the ActionDispatch::Request#uuid method. This makes it easy to trace requests from end-to-end in the stack and to identify individual requests in mixed logs like Syslog *DHH*
+
+*   Limit the number of options for select_year to 1000.
+
+    Pass the :max_years_allowed option to set your own limit.
+
+    *Libo Cannici*
+
+*   Passing formats or handlers to render :template and friends is deprecated. For example: *Nick Sutterer & José Valim*
+
+        render :template => "foo.html.erb"
+
+    Instead, you can provide :handlers and :formats directly as option:
+             render :template => "foo", :formats => [:html, :js], :handlers => :erb
+
+*   Changed log level of warning for missing CSRF token from :debug to :warn. *Mike Dillon*
+
+*   content_tag_for and div_for can now take the collection of records. It will also yield the record as the first argument if you set a receiving argument in your block *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+    So instead of having to do this:
+
+        @items.each do |item|
+          content_tag_for(:li, item) do
+             Title: <%= item.title %>
+          end
+        end
+
+    You can now do this:
+
+        content_tag_for(:li, @items) do |item|
+          Title: <%= item.title %>
+        end
+
+*   send_file now guess the mime type *Esad Hajdarevic*
+
+*   Mime type entries for PDF, ZIP and other formats were added *Esad Hajdarevic*
+
+*   Generate hidden input before select with :multiple option set to true.
+    This is useful when you rely on the fact that when no options is set,
+    the state of select will be sent to rails application. Without hidden field
+    nothing is sent according to HTML spec *Bogdan Gusiev*
+
+*   Refactor ActionController::TestCase cookies *Andrew White*
+
+    Assigning cookies for test cases should now use cookies[], e.g:
+
+        cookies[:email] = 'user@example.com'
+        get :index
+        assert_equal 'user@example.com', cookies[:email]
+
+    To clear the cookies, use clear, e.g:
+
+        cookies.clear
+        get :index
+        assert_nil cookies[:email]
+
+    We now no longer write out HTTP_COOKIE and the cookie jar is
+    persistent between requests so if you need to manipulate the environment
+    for your test you need to do it before the cookie jar is created.
+
+*   ActionController::ParamsWrapper on ActiveRecord models now only wrap
+    attr_accessible attributes if they were set, if not, only the attributes
+    returned by the class method attribute_names will be wrapped. This fixes
+    the wrapping of nested attributes by adding them to attr_accessible.
+
+## Rails 3.1.4 (unreleased) ##
+
+*   Allow to use asset_path on named_routes aliasing RailsHelper's
+    asset_path to path_to_asset *Adrian Pike*
+
+*   Assets should use the request protocol by default or default to
+    relative if no request is available *Jonathan del Strother*
+
+## Rails 3.1.3 (November 20, 2011) ##
+
+*   Fix using `translate` helper with a html translation which uses the `:count` option for
+    pluralization.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+## Rails 3.1.2 (November 18, 2011) ##
+
+*   Fix XSS security vulnerability in the `translate` helper method. When using interpolation
+    in combination with HTML-safe translations, the interpolated input would not get HTML
+    escaped. *GH 3664*
+
+    Before:
+
+        translate('foo_html', :something => '<script>') # => "...<script>..."
+
+    After:
+
+        translate('foo_html', :something => '<script>') # => "...&lt;script&gt;..."
+
+    *Sergey Nartimov*
+
+*   Upgrade sprockets dependency to ~> 2.1.0
+
+*   Ensure that the format isn't applied twice to the cache key, else it becomes impossible
+    to target with expire_action.
+
+    *Christopher Meiklejohn*
+
+*   Swallow error when can't unmarshall object from session.
+
+    *Bruno Zanchet*
+
+*   Implement a workaround for a bug in ruby-1.9.3p0 where an error would be raised
+    while attempting to convert a template from one encoding to another.
+
+    Please see http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5564 for details of the bug.
+
+    The workaround is to load all conversions into memory ahead of time, and will
+    only happen if the ruby version is *exactly* 1.9.3p0. The hope is obviously that
+    the underlying problem will be resolved in the next patchlevel release of
+    1.9.3.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Ensure users upgrading from 3.0.x to 3.1.x will properly upgrade their flash object in session (issues #3298 and #2509)
+
+## Rails 3.1.1 (October 07, 2011) ##
+
+*   javascript_path and stylesheet_path now refer to /assets if asset pipelining
+    is on. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   button_to support form option. Now you're able to pass for example
+    'data-type' => 'json'. *ihower*
+
+*   image_path and image_tag should use /assets if asset pipelining is turned
+    on. Closes #3126 *Santiago Pastorino and christos*
+
+*   Avoid use of existing precompiled assets during rake assets:precompile run.
+    Closes #3119 *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+*   Copy assets to nondigested filenames too *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Give precedence to `config.digest = false` over the existence of
+    manifest.yml asset digests *christos*
+
+*   escape options for the stylesheet_link_tag method *Alexey Vakhov*
+
+*   Re-launch assets:precompile task using (Rake.)ruby instead of Kernel.exec so
+    it works on Windows *cablegram*
+
+*   env var passed to process shouldn't be modified in process method. *Santiago
+    Pastorino*
+
+*   `rake assets:precompile` loads the application but does not initialize
+    it.
+    To the app developer, this means configuration add in
+    config/initializers/* will not be executed.
+    Plugins developers need to special case their initializers that are
+    meant to be run in the assets group by adding :group => :assets. *José Valim*
+
+*   Sprockets uses config.assets.prefix for asset_path *asee*
+
+*   FileStore key_file_path properly limit filenames to 255 characters. *phuibonhoa*
+
+*   Fix Hash#to_query edge case with html_safe strings. *brainopia*
+
+*   Allow asset tag helper methods to accept :digest => false option in order to completely avoid the digest generation.
+    Useful for linking assets from static html files or from emails when the user could probably look at an older html email with an older asset. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Don't mount Sprockets server at config.assets.prefix if config.assets.compile is false. *Mark J. Titorenko*
+
+*   Set relative url root in assets when controller isn't available for Sprockets (eg. Sass files using asset_path). Fixes #2435 *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+*   Fix basic auth credential generation to not make newlines. GH #2882
+
+*   Fixed the behavior of asset pipeline when config.assets.digest and config.assets.compile are false and requested asset isn't precompiled.
+    Before the requested asset were compiled anyway ignoring that the config.assets.compile flag is false. *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+*   CookieJar is now Enumerable. Fixes #2795
+
+*   Fixed AssetNotPrecompiled error raised when rake assets:precompile is compiling certain .erb files. See GH #2763 #2765 #2805 *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+*   Manifest is correctly placed in assets path when default assets prefix is changed. Fixes #2776 *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+*   Fixed stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag to respect additional options passed by the users when debug is on. *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+
+## Rails 3.1.0 (August 30, 2011) ##
+
+*   Param values are `paramified` in controller tests. *David Chelimsky*
+
+*   x_sendfile_header now defaults to nil and config/environments/production.rb doesn't set a particular value for it. This allows servers to set it through X-Sendfile-Type. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   The submit form helper does not generate an id "object_name_id" anymore. *fbrusatti*
+
+*   Make sure respond_with with :js tries to render a template in all cases *José Valim*
+
+*   json_escape will now return a SafeBuffer string if it receives SafeBuffer string *tenderlove*
+
+*   Make sure escape_js returns SafeBuffer string if it receives SafeBuffer string *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+*   Fix escape_js to work correctly with the new SafeBuffer restriction *Paul Gallagher*
+
+*   Brought back alternative convention for namespaced models in i18n *thoefer*
+
+    Now the key can be either "namespace.model" or "namespace/model" until further deprecation.
+
+*   It is prohibited to perform a in-place SafeBuffer mutation *tenderlove*
+
+    The old behavior of SafeBuffer allowed you to mutate string in place via
+    method like `sub!`. These methods can add unsafe strings to a safe buffer,
+    and the safe buffer will continue to be marked as safe.
+
+    An example problem would be something like this:
+
+        <%= link_to('hello world', @user).sub!(/hello/, params[:xss])  %>
+
+    In the above example, an untrusted string (`params[:xss]`) is added to the
+    safe buffer returned by `link_to`, and the untrusted content is successfully
+    sent to the client without being escaped.  To prevent this from happening
+    `sub!` and other similar methods will now raise an exception when they are called on a safe buffer.
+
+    In addition to the in-place versions, some of the versions of these methods which return a copy of the string will incorrectly mark strings as safe. For example:
+
+         <%= link_to('hello world', @user).sub(/hello/, params[:xss]) %>
+
+    The new versions will now ensure that *all* strings returned by these methods on safe buffers are marked unsafe.
+
+    You can read more about this change in http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-security/browse_thread/thread/2e516e7acc96c4fb
+
+*   Warn if we cannot verify CSRF token authenticity *José Valim*
+
+*   Allow AM/PM format in datetime selectors *Aditya Sanghi*
+
+*   Only show dump of regular env methods on exception screen (not all the rack crap) *DHH*
+
+*   auto_link has been removed with no replacement.  If you still use auto_link
+    please install the rails_autolink gem:
+        http://github.com/tenderlove/rails_autolink
+
+    *tenderlove*
+
+*   Added streaming support, you can enable it with: *José Valim*
+
+        class PostsController < ActionController::Base
+          stream :only => :index
+        end
+
+    Please read the docs at `ActionController::Streaming` for more information.
+
+*   Added `ActionDispatch::Request.ignore_accept_header` to ignore accept headers and only consider the format given as parameter *José Valim*
+
+*   Created `ActionView::Renderer` and specified an API for `ActionView::Context`, check those objects for more information *José Valim*
+
+*   Added `ActionController::ParamsWrapper` to wrap parameters into a nested hash, and will be turned on for JSON request in new applications by default *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+    This can be customized by setting `ActionController::Base.wrap_parameters` in `config/initializer/wrap_parameters.rb`
+
+*   RJS has been extracted out to a gem. *fxn*
+
+*   Implicit actions named not_implemented can be rendered. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Wildcard route will always match the optional format segment by default. *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+    For example if you have this route:
+
+        match '*pages' => 'pages#show'
+
+    by requesting '/foo/bar.json', your `params[:pages]` will be equals to "foo/bar" with the request format of JSON. If you want the old 3.0.x behavior back, you could supply `:format => false` like this:
+
+        match '*pages' => 'pages#show', :format => false
+
+*   Added Base.http_basic_authenticate_with to do simple http basic authentication with a single class method call *DHH*
+
+        class PostsController < ApplicationController
+          USER_NAME, PASSWORD = "dhh", "secret"
+
+          before_filter :authenticate, :except => [ :index ]
+
+          def index
+            render :text => "Everyone can see me!"
+          end
+
+          def edit
+            render :text => "I'm only accessible if you know the password"
+          end
+
+          private
+            def authenticate
+              authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |user_name, password|
+                user_name == USER_NAME && password == PASSWORD
+              end
+            end
+        end
+
+    ..can now be written as
+
+        class PostsController < ApplicationController
+          http_basic_authenticate_with :name => "dhh", :password => "secret", :except => :index
+
+          def index
+            render :text => "Everyone can see me!"
+          end
+
+          def edit
+            render :text => "I'm only accessible if you know the password"
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Allow you to add `force_ssl` into controller to force browser to transfer data via HTTPS protocol on that particular controller. You can also specify `:only` or `:except` to specific it to particular action. *DHH and Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+*   Allow FormHelper#form_for to specify the :method as a direct option instead of through the :html hash *DHH*
+
+        form_for(@post, remote: true, method: :delete) instead of form_for(@post, remote: true, html: { method: :delete })
+
+*   Make JavaScriptHelper#j() an alias for JavaScriptHelper#escape_javascript() -- note this then supersedes the Object#j() method that the JSON gem adds within templates using the JavaScriptHelper *DHH*
+
+*   Sensitive query string parameters (specified in config.filter_parameters) will now be filtered out from the request paths in the log file. *Prem Sichanugrist, fxn*
+
+*   URL parameters which return false for to_param now appear in the query string (previously they were removed) *Andrew White*
+
+*   URL parameters which return nil for to_param are now removed from the query string *Andrew White*
+
+*   ActionDispatch::MiddlewareStack now uses composition over inheritance. It is
+    no longer an array which means there may be methods missing that were not    tested.
+
+*   Add an :authenticity_token option to form_tag for custom handling or to omit the token (pass :authenticity_token => false).  *Jakub Kuźma, Igor Wiedler*
+
+*   HTML5 button_tag helper. *Rizwan Reza*
+
+*   Template lookup now searches further up in the inheritance chain. *Artemave*
+
+*   Brought back config.action_view.cache_template_loading, which allows to decide whether templates should be cached or not. *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   url_for and named url helpers now accept :subdomain and :domain as options, *Josh Kalderimis*
+
+*   The redirect route method now also accepts a hash of options which will only change the parts of the url in question, or an object which responds to call, allowing for redirects to be reused (check the documentation for examples). *Josh Kalderimis*
+
+*   Added config.action_controller.include_all_helpers. By default 'helper :all' is done in ActionController::Base, which includes all the helpers by default. Setting include_all_helpers to false will result in including only application_helper and helper corresponding to controller (like foo_helper for foo_controller). *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Added a convenience idiom to generate HTML5 data-* attributes in tag helpers from a :data hash of options:
+
+        tag("div", :data => {:name => 'Stephen', :city_state => %w(Chicago IL)})
+        # => <div data-name="Stephen" data-city-state="[&quot;Chicago&quot;,&quot;IL&quot;]" />
+
+    Keys are dasherized. Values are JSON-encoded, except for strings and symbols. *Stephen Celis*
+
+*   Deprecate old template handler API. The new API simply requires a template handler to respond to call. *José Valim*
+
+*   :rhtml and :rxml were finally removed as template handlers. *José Valim*
+
+*   Moved etag responsibility from ActionDispatch::Response to the middleware stack. *José Valim*
+
+*   Rely on Rack::Session stores API for more compatibility across the Ruby world. This is backwards incompatible since Rack::Session expects #get_session to accept 4 arguments and requires #destroy_session instead of simply #destroy. *José Valim*
+
+*   file_field automatically adds :multipart => true to the enclosing form. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Renames csrf_meta_tag -> csrf_meta_tags, and aliases csrf_meta_tag for backwards compatibility. *fxn*
+
+*   Add Rack::Cache to the default stack. Create a Rails store that delegates to the Rails cache, so by default, whatever caching layer you are using will be used for HTTP caching. Note that Rack::Cache will be used if you use #expires_in, #fresh_when or #stale with :public => true. Otherwise, the caching rules will apply to the browser only. *Yehuda Katz, Carl Lerche*
+
+
+## Rails 3.0.7 (April 18, 2011) ##
+
+*   No changes.
+
+
+## Rails 3.0.6 (April 5, 2011) ##
+
+*   Fixed XSS vulnerability in `auto_link`.  `auto_link` no longer marks input as
+    html safe.  Please make sure that calls to auto_link() are wrapped in a
+    sanitize(), or a raw() depending on the type of input passed to auto_link().
+    For example:
+
+        <%= sanitize(auto_link(some_user_input)) %>
+
+    Thanks to Torben Schulz for reporting this.  The fix can be found here:
+    61ee3449674c591747db95f9b3472c5c3bd9e84d
+
+*   Fixes the output of `rake routes` to be correctly match to the behavior of the application, as the regular expression used to match the path is greedy and won't capture the format part by default *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+*   Fixes an issue with number_to_human when converting values which are less than 1 but greater than -1 *Josh Kalderimis*
+
+*   Sensitive query string parameters (specified in config.filter_parameters) will now be filtered out from the request paths in the log file. *Prem Sichanugrist, fxn*
+
+*   URL parameters which return nil for to_param are now removed from the query string *Andrew White*
+
+*   Don't allow i18n to change the minor version, version now set to ~> 0.5.0 *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Make TranslationHelper#translate use the :rescue_format option in I18n 0.5.0 *Sven Fuchs*
+
+*   Fix regression: javascript_include_tag shouldn't raise if you register an expansion key with nil or [] value *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Fix Action caching bug where an action that has a non-cacheable response always renders a nil response body. It now correctly renders the response body. *Cheah Chu Yeow*

+## Rails 3.0.3 (November 16, 2010) ##
+
+*   When ActiveRecord::Base objects are sent to predicate methods, the id of the object should be sent to ARel, not the ActiveRecord::Base object.
+
+*   :constraints routing should only do sanity checks against regular expressions.  String arguments are OK.
+
+
+## Rails 3.0.2 (November 15, 2010) ##
+
+*   The helper number_to_currency accepts a new :negative_format option to be able to configure how to render negative amounts. *Don Wilson*
+

+
+*   No Changes, just a version bump.
+
+
+## Rails 3.0.0 (August 29, 2010) ##
+
+*   password_field renders with nil value by default making the use of passwords secure by default, if you want to render you should do for instance f.password_field(:password, :value => @user.password) *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Symbols and strings in routes should yield the same behavior. Note this may break existing apps that were using symbols with the new routes API. *José Valim*
+
+*   Add clear_helpers as a way to clean up all helpers added to this controller, maintaining just the helper with the same name as the controller. *José Valim*
+
+*   Support routing constraints in functional tests. *Andrew White*
+
+*   Add a header that tells Internet Explorer (all versions) to use the best available standards support. *Yehuda Katz*
+
+*   Allow stylesheet/javascript extensions to be changed through railties. *Josh Kalderimis*
+
+*   link_to, button_to, and tag/tag_options now rely on html_escape instead of escape_once. *fxn*
+
+*   url_for returns always unescaped strings, and the :escape option is gone. *fxn*
+
+*   Added accept-charset parameter and _snowman hidden field to force the contents
+    of Rails POSTed forms to be in UTF-8 *Yehuda Katz*

+        You can now use comment_path for /comments/1 instead of post_comment_path for /posts/1/comments/1.
+
+*   Add support for multi-subdomain session by setting cookie host in session cookie so you can share session between www.example.com, example.com and user.example.com. #4818 *Guillermo Álvarez*
+
+*   Removed textilize, textilize_without_paragraph and markdown helpers. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Remove middleware laziness *José Valim*
+
+*   Make session stores rely on request.cookie_jar and change set_session semantics to return the cookie value instead of a boolean. *José Valim*
+
+*   OAuth 2: HTTP Token Authorization support to complement Basic and Digest Authorization.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed inconsistencies in form builder and view helpers #4432 *Neeraj Singh*
+
+*   Both :xml and :json renderers now forwards the given options to the model, allowing you to invoke them as render :xml => @projects, :include => :tasks *José Valim, Yehuda Katz*
+
+*   Renamed the field error CSS class from fieldWithErrors to field_with_errors for consistency.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add support for shorthand routes like /projects/status(.:format)  #4423 *Diego Carrion*
+
+*   Changed translate helper so that it doesn’t mark every translation as safe HTML. Only keys with a "_html" suffix and keys named "html" are considered to be safe HTML. All other translations are left untouched. *Craig Davey*
+
+*   New option :as added to form_for allows to change the object name. The old <% form_for :client, @post %> becomes <% form_for @post, :as => :client %> *spastorino*
+
+*   Removed verify method in controllers. *JV*
+    It's now available as a plugin at http://github.com/rails/verification
+
+*   Removed input, form, error_messages_for and error_message_on from views. *JV*
+    It's now available as a plugin at http://github.com/rails/dynamic_form
+
+*   Routes can be scoped by controller module. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+        # /session => Auth::SessionsController
+        scope :module => 'auth' do
+          resource :session
+        end
+
+*   Added #favicon_link_tag, it uses #image_path so in particular the favicon gets an asset ID *fxn*
+
+*   Fixed that default locale templates should be used if the current locale template is missing *DHH*
+
+*   Added all the new HTML5 form types as individual form tag methods (search, url, number, etc) #3646 *Stephen Celis*
+
+*   Changed the object used in routing constraints to be an instance of
+    ActionDispatch::Request rather than Rack::Request *YK*
+
+*   Changed ActionDispatch::Request#method to return a String, to be compatible
+    with Rack::Request. Added ActionDispatch::Request#method_symbol to
+    return a symbol form of the request method. *YK*
+
+*   Changed ActionDispatch::Request#method to return the original
+    method and #request_method to return the overridden method in the
+    case of methodoverride being used (this means that #method returns
+    "HEAD" and #request_method returns "GET" in HEAD requests). This
+    is for compatibility with Rack::Request *YK*
+
+*   #concat is now deprecated in favor of using <%= %> helpers *YK*
+
+*   Block helpers now return Strings, so you can use <%= form_for @foo do |f| %>.
+    <% form_for do |f| %> still works with deprecation notices *YK*
+
+*   Add a new #mount method on the router that does not anchor the PATH_INFO
+    at the end *YK & CL*
+
+*   Create a new LookupContext object that is responsible for performantly
+    finding a template for a given pattern *JV*
+
+*   Removed relative_url_for in favor of respecting SCRIPT_NAME *YK & CL*
+
+*   Changed file streaming to use Rack::Sendfile middleware *YK*
+
+*   ActionDispatch::Request#content_type returns a String to be compatible with
+    Rack::Request. Use #content_mime_type for the Mime::Type instance *YK*
+
+*   Updated Prototype to 1.6.1 and Scriptaculous to 1.8.3 *ML*
+
+*   Change the preferred way that URL helpers are included into a class*YK & CL*
+
+        # for all helpers including named routes
+        include Rails.application.router.url_helpers
+
+        # for just url_for
+        include Rails.application.router.url_for
+
+*   Fixed that PrototypeHelper#update_page should return html_safe *DHH*
+
+*   Fixed that much of DateHelper wouldn't return html_safe? strings *DHH*
+
+*   Fixed that fragment caching should return a cache hit as html_safe (or it would all just get escaped) *DHH*
+
+*   Added that ActionController::Base now does helper :all instead of relying on the default ApplicationController in Rails to do it *DHH*
+
+*   Added ActionDispatch::Request#authorization to access the http authentication header regardless of its proxy hiding *DHH*
+
+*   Added :alert, :notice, and :flash as options to ActionController::Base#redirect_to that'll automatically set the proper flash before the redirection *DHH*. Examples:
+
+        flash[:notice] = 'Post was created'
+        redirect_to(@post)
+
+    ...becomes:
+
+        redirect_to(@post, :notice => 'Post was created')
+
+*   Added ActionController::Base#notice/= and ActionController::Base#alert/= as a convenience accessors in both the controller and the view for flash[:notice]/= and flash[:alert]/= *DHH*
+
+*   Introduce grouped_collection_select helper.  #1249 *Dan Codeape, Erik Ostrom*
+
+*   Make sure javascript_include_tag/stylesheet_link_tag does not append ".js" or ".css" onto external urls. #1664 *Matthew Rudy Jacobs*
+
+*   Ruby 1.9: fix Content-Length for multibyte send_data streaming.  #2661 *Sava Chankov*
+
+*   Ruby 1.9: ERB template encoding using a magic comment at the top of the file.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+        <%# encoding: utf-8 %>
+
+*   Change integration test helpers to accept Rack environment instead of just HTTP Headers *Pratik Naik*
+
+    Before :  get '/path', {}, 'Accept' => 'text/javascript'
+    After  :  get '/path', {}, 'HTTP_ACCEPT' => 'text/javascript'
+
+*   Instead of checking Rails.env.test? in Failsafe middleware, check env["rails.raise_exceptions"] *Bryan Helmkamp*
+
+*   Fixed that TestResponse.cookies was returning cookies unescaped #1867 *Doug McInnes*
+
+
+## 2.3.2 Final (March 15, 2009) ##
+
+*   Fixed that redirection would just log the options, not the final url (which lead to "Redirected to #<Post:0x23150b8>") *DHH*
+
+*   Don't check authenticity tokens for any AJAX requests *Ross Kaffenberger/Bryan Helmkamp*
+
+*   Added ability to pass in :public => true to fresh_when, stale?, and expires_in to make the request proxy cachable #2095 *Gregg Pollack*
+
+*   Fixed that passing a custom form builder would be forwarded to nested fields_for calls #2023 *Eloy Duran/Nate Wiger*
+
+*   Form option helpers now support disabled option tags and the use of lambdas for selecting/disabling option tags from collections #837 *Tekin*
+
+*   Added partial scoping to TranslationHelper#translate, so if you call translate(".foo") from the people/index.html.erb template, you'll actually be calling I18n.translate("people.index.foo") *DHH*
+
+*   Fix a syntax error in current_page?() that was prevent matches against URL's with multiple query parameters #1385, #1868 *chris finne/Andrew White*
+
+*   Added localized rescue template when I18n.locale is set (ex: public/404.da.html) #1835 *José Valim*
+
+*   Make the form_for and fields_for helpers support the new Active Record nested update options.  #1202 *Eloy Duran*
+
+      <% form_for @person do |person_form| %>
+        ...
+        <% person_form.fields_for :projects do |project_fields| %>
+          <% if project_fields.object.active? %>
+            Name: <%= project_fields.text_field :name %>
+          <% end %>
+        <% end %>
+      <% end %>
+
+
+*   Added grouped_options_for_select helper method for wrapping option tags in optgroups. #977 *Jon Crawford*
+
+*   Implement HTTP Digest authentication. #1230 *Gregg Kellogg, Pratik Naik* Example :
+
+    class DummyDigestController < ActionController::Base
+        USERS = { "lifo" => 'world' }
+
+        before_filter :authenticate
+
+        def index
+          render :text => "Hello Secret"
+        end
+
+        private
+
+        def authenticate
+          authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest("Super Secret") do |username|
+            # Return the user's password
+            USERS[username]
+          end
+        end
+    end
+
+*   Improved i18n support for the number_to_human_size helper. Changes the storage_units translation data; update your translations accordingly.  #1634 *Yaroslav Markin*
+        storage_units:
+          # %u is the storage unit, %n is the number (default: 2 MB)
+          format: "%n %u"
+          units:
+            byte:
+              one: "Byte"
+              other: "Bytes"
+            kb: "KB"
+            mb: "MB"
+            gb: "GB"
+            tb: "TB"
+
+*   Added :silence option to BenchmarkHelper#benchmark and turned log_level into a hash parameter and deprecated the old use *DHH*
+
+*   Fixed the AssetTagHelper cache to use the computed asset host as part of the cache key instead of just assuming the its a string #1299 *DHH*
+
+*   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*
+
+*   Deprecated formatted_polymorphic_url.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added the option to declare an asset_host as an object that responds to call (see http://github.com/dhh/asset-hosting-with-minimum-ssl for an example) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added support for multiple routes.rb files (useful for plugin engines). This also means that draw will no longer clear the route set, you have to do that by hand (shouldn't make a difference to you unless you're doing some funky stuff) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Dropped formatted_* routes in favor of just passing in :format as an option. This cuts resource routes generation in half #1359 *aaronbatalion*
+
+*   Remove support for old double-encoded cookies from the cookie store.  These values haven't been generated since before 2.1.0, and any users who have visited the app in the intervening 6 months will have had their cookie upgraded. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Allow helpers directory to be overridden via ActionController::Base.helpers_dir #1424 *Sam Pohlenz*
+
+*   Remove deprecated ActionController::Base#assign_default_content_type_and_charset
+
+*   Changed the default of ActionView#render to assume partials instead of files when not given an options hash *DHH*. Examples:
+
+        # Instead of <%= render :partial => "account" %>
+        <%= render "account" %>
+
+        # Instead of <%= render :partial => "account", :locals => { :account => @buyer } %>
+        <%= render "account", :account => @buyer %>
+
+        # @account is an Account instance, so it uses the RecordIdentifier to replace
+        # <%= render :partial => "accounts/account", :locals => { :account => @account } %>
+        <%= render(@account) %>
+
+        # @posts is an array of Post instances, so it uses the RecordIdentifier to replace
+        # <%= render :partial => "posts/post", :collection => @posts %>
+        <%= render(@posts) %>
+
+*   Remove deprecated render_component. Please use the plugin from http://github.com/rails/render_component/tree/master *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Fixed RedCloth and BlueCloth shouldn't preload. Instead just assume that they're available if you want to use textilize and markdown and let autoload require them *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+
+## 2.2.2 (November 21st, 2008) ##
+
+*   I18n: translate number_to_human_size. Add storage_units: [Bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB] to your translations.  #1448 *Yaroslav Markin*
+
+*   Restore backwards compatible functionality for setting relative_url_root.  Include deprecation
+
+*   Switched the CSRF module to use the request content type to decide if the request is forgeable.  #1145 *Jeff Cohen*
+
+*   Added :only and :except to map.resources to let people cut down on the number of redundant routes in an application. Typically only useful for huge routesets.  #1215 *Tom Stuart*
+
+     map.resources :products, :only => :show do |product|
+         product.resources :images, :except => :destroy
+     end
+
+*   Added render :js for people who want to render inline JavaScript replies without using RJS *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that polymorphic_url should compact given array #1317 *hiroshi*
+
+*   Fixed the sanitize helper to avoid double escaping already properly escaped entities #683 *antonmos/Ryan McGeary*
+
+*   Fixed that FormTagHelper generated illegal html if name contained square brackets #1238 *Vladimir Dobriakov*
+
+*   Fix regression bug that made date_select and datetime_select raise a Null Pointer Exception when a nil date/datetime was passed and only month and year were displayed #1289 *Bernardo Padua/Tor Erik*
+
+*   Simplified the logging format for parameters (don't include controller, action, and format as duplicates) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Remove the logging of the Session ID when the session store is CookieStore *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed regex in redirect_to to fully support URI schemes #1247 *Seth Fitzsimmons*
+
+*   Fixed bug with asset timestamping when using relative_url_root #1265 *Joe Goldwasser*
+
+
+## 2.2.0 RC1 (October 24th, 2008) ##
+
+*   Fix incorrect closing CDATA delimiter and that HTML::Node.parse would blow up on unclosed CDATA sections *packagethief*
+
+*   Added stale? and fresh_when methods to provide a layer of abstraction above request.fresh? and friends *DHH*. Example:
+
+        class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
+          def show_with_respond_to_block
+            @article = Article.find(params[:id])
+
+
+            # If the request sends headers that differs from the options provided to stale?, then
+            # the request is indeed stale and the respond_to block is triggered (and the options
+            # to the stale? call is set on the response).
+            #
+            # If the request headers match, then the request is fresh and the respond_to block is
+            # not triggered. Instead the default render will occur, which will check the last-modified
+            # and etag headers and conclude that it only needs to send a "304 Not Modified" instead
+            # of rendering the template.
+            if stale?(:last_modified => @article.published_at.utc, :etag => @article)
+              respond_to do |wants|
+                # normal response processing
+              end
+            end
+          end
+
+          def show_with_implied_render
+            @article = Article.find(params[:id])
+
+            # Sets the response headers and checks them against the request, if the request is stale
+            # (i.e. no match of either etag or last-modified), then the default render of the template happens.
+            # If the request is fresh, then the default render will return a "304 Not Modified"
+            # instead of rendering the template.
+            fresh_when(:last_modified => @article.published_at.utc, :etag => @article)
+          end
+        end
+
+
+*   Added inline builder yield to atom_feed_helper tags where appropriate *Sam Ruby*. Example:
+
+        entry.summary :type => 'xhtml' do |xhtml|
+          xhtml.p pluralize(order.line_items.count, "line item")
+          xhtml.p "Shipped to #{order.address}"
+          xhtml.p "Paid by #{order.pay_type}"
+        end
+
+*   Make PrototypeHelper#submit_to_remote a wrapper around PrototypeHelper#button_to_remote. *Tarmo Tänav*
+
+*   Set HttpOnly for the cookie session store's cookie.  #1046
+
+*   Added FormTagHelper#image_submit_tag confirm option #784 *Alastair Brunton*
+
+*   Fixed FormTagHelper#submit_tag with :disable_with option wouldn't submit the button's value when was clicked #633 *Jose Fernandez*
+
+*   Stopped logging template compiles as it only clogs up the log *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Changed the X-Runtime header to report in milliseconds *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Changed BenchmarkHelper#benchmark to report in milliseconds *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Changed logging format to be millisecond based and skip misleading stats *DHH*. Went from:
+
+        Completed in 0.10000 (4 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.04000 (40%) | DB: 0.00400 (4%) | 200 OK [http://example.com]
+
+    ...to:
+
+        Completed in 100ms (View: 40, DB: 4) | 200 OK [http://example.com]
+
+*   Add support for shallow nesting of routes. #838 *S. Brent Faulkner*
+
+    Example :
+
+    map.resources :users, :shallow => true do |user|
+        user.resources :posts
+    end
+
+    - GET /users/1/posts (maps to PostsController#index action as usual)
+        named route "user_posts" is added as usual.
+
+    - GET /posts/2 (maps to PostsController#show action as if it were not nested)
+        Additionally, named route "post" is added too.
+
+*   Added button_to_remote helper.  #3641 *Donald Piret, Tarmo Tänav*
+
+*   Deprecate render_component. Please use render_component plugin from http://github.com/rails/render_component/tree/master *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Routes may be restricted to lists of HTTP methods instead of a single method or :any.  #407 *Brennan Dunn, Gaius Centus Novus*
+        map.resource :posts, :collection => { :search => [:get, :post] }
+        map.session 'session', :requirements => { :method => [:get, :post, :delete] }
+
+*   Deprecated implicit local assignments when rendering partials *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Introduce current_cycle helper method to return the current value without bumping the cycle.  #417 *Ken Collins*
+
+*   Allow polymorphic_url helper to take url options. #880 *Tarmo Tänav*
+
+*   Switched integration test runner to use Rack processor instead of CGI *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Made AbstractRequest.if_modified_sense return nil if the header could not be parsed *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added back ActionController::Base.allow_concurrency flag *Josh Peek*
+
+*   AbstractRequest.relative_url_root is no longer automatically configured by a HTTP header. It can now be set in your configuration environment with config.action_controller.relative_url_root *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Update Prototype to 1.6.0.2 #599 *Patrick Joyce*
+
+*   Conditional GET utility methods.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+        response.last_modified = @post.updated_at
+        response.etag = [:admin, @post, current_user]
+
+        if request.fresh?(response)
+          head :not_modified
+        else
+          # render ...
+        end
+
+*   All 2xx requests are considered successful *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Fixed that AssetTagHelper#compute_public_path shouldn't cache the asset_host along with the source or per-request proc's won't run *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Removed config.action_view.cache_template_loading, use config.cache_classes instead *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Get buffer for fragment cache from template's @output_buffer *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Set config.action_view.warn_cache_misses = true to receive a warning if you perform an action that results in an expensive disk operation that could be cached *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Refactor template preloading. New abstractions include Renderable mixins and a refactored Template class *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Changed ActionView::TemplateHandler#render API method signature to render(template, local_assigns = {}) *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Changed PrototypeHelper#submit_to_remote to PrototypeHelper#button_to_remote to stay consistent with link_to_remote (submit_to_remote still works as an alias) #8994 *clemens*
+
+*   Add :recursive option to javascript_include_tag and stylesheet_link_tag to be used along with :all. #480 *Damian Janowski*
+
+*   Allow users to disable the use of the Accept header *Michael Koziarski*
+
+        The accept header is poorly implemented by browsers and causes strange
+    errors when used on public sites where crawlers make requests too.  You    can use formatted urls (e.g. /people/1.xml) to support API clients in a    much simpler way.
+    To disable the header you need to set:
+    config.action_controller.use_accept_header = false
+*   Do not stat template files in production mode before rendering. You will no longer be able to modify templates in production mode without restarting the server *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Deprecated TemplateHandler line offset *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Allow caches_action to accept cache store options. #416. *José Valim*. Example:
+
+    caches_action :index, :redirected, :if => Proc.new { |c| !c.request.format.json? }, :expires_in => 1.hour
+
+*   Remove define_javascript_functions, javascript_include_tag and friends are far superior. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Deprecate :use_full_path render option. The supplying the option no longer has an effect *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Add :as option to render a collection of partials with a custom local variable name. #509 *Simon Jefford, Pratik Naik*
+
+    render :partial => 'other_people', :collection => @people, :as => :person
+
+    This will let you access objects of @people as 'person' local variable inside 'other_people' partial template.
+
+*   time_zone_select: support for regexp matching of priority zones. Resolves #195 *Ernie Miller*
+
+*   Made ActionView::Base#render_file private *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Refactor and simplify the implementation of assert_redirected_to.  Arguments are now normalised relative to the controller being tested,  not the root of the application.  *Michael Koziarski*
+
+    This could cause some erroneous test failures if you were redirecting between controllers
+    in different namespaces and wrote your assertions relative to the root of the application.
+
+*   Remove follow_redirect from controller functional tests.
+
+    If you want to follow redirects you can use integration tests.  The functional test    version was only useful if you were using redirect_to :id=>...
+*   Fix polymorphic_url with singleton resources.  #461 *Tammer Saleh*
+
+*   Replaced TemplateFinder abstraction with ViewLoadPaths *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Added block-call style to link_to *Sam Stephenson/David Heinemeier Hansson*. Example:
+
+        <% link_to(@profile) do %>
+          <strong><%= @profile.name %></strong> -- <span>Check it out!!</span>
+        <% end %>
+
+*   Performance: integration test benchmarking and profiling.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Make caching more aware of mime types. Ensure request format is not considered while expiring cache.  *Jonathan del Strother*
+
+*   Drop ActionController::Base.allow_concurrency flag *Josh Peek*
+
+*   More efficient concat and capture helpers. Remove ActionView::Base.erb_variable.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added page.reload functionality. Resolves #277. *Sean Huber*

+              format.iphone # => renders index.iphone.erb and uses "text/html" as the content type
+            end
+          end
+
+
+          private
+            def adjust_format_for_iphone
+              if request.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] && request.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"][/iPhone/]
+                request.format = :iphone
+              end
+            end
+        end
+

+*   Added block acceptance to JavaScriptHelper#javascript_tag.  #7527 *Bob Silva, Tarmo Tänav, rmm5t*
+
+*   root_path returns '/' not ''.  #9563 *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Fixed that setting request.format should also affect respond_to blocks *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add option to force binary mode on tempfile used for fixture_file_upload.  #6380 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Fixed that resource namespaces wouldn't stick to all nested resources #9399 *pixeltrix*
+
+*   Moved ActionController::Macros::AutoComplete into the auto_complete plugin on the official Rails svn.  #9512 *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Moved ActionController::Macros::InPlaceEditing into the in_place_editor plugin on the official Rails svn.  #9513 *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Removed deprecated form of calling xml_http_request/xhr without the first argument being the http verb *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Removed deprecated methods *DHH*:
+
+    - ActionController::Base#keep_flash (use flash.keep instead)
+    - ActionController::Base#expire_matched_fragments (just call expire_fragment with a regular expression)
+    - ActionController::Base.template_root/= methods (use ActionController#Base.view_paths/= instead)
+    - ActionController::Base.cookie (use ActionController#Base.cookies[]= instead)
+
+*   Removed the deprecated behavior of appending ".png" to image_tag/image_path calls without an existing extension *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Removed ActionController::Base.scaffold -- it went through the whole idea of scaffolding (card board walls you remove and tweak one by one). Use the scaffold generator instead (it does resources too now!) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Optimise named route generation when using positional arguments.  *Michael Koziarski*
+
+    This change delivers significant performance benefits for the most
+    common usage scenarios for modern rails applications by avoiding the
+    costly trip through url_for.  Initial benchmarks indicate this is
+    between 6 and 20 times as fast.
+
+*   Explicitly require active_record/query_cache before using it.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fix layout overriding response status.  #9476 *lotswholetime*
+
+*   Add field_set_tag for generating field_sets, closes #9477. *Damian Janowski*
+
+*   Allow additional parameters to be passed to named route helpers when using positional arguments.  Closes #8930 *Ian White*
+
+*   Make render :partial work with a :collection of Hashes, previously this wasn't possible due to backwards compatibility restrictions.  *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   request.host works with IPv6 addresses.  #9458 *yuya*
+
+*   Fix bug where action caching sets the content type to the ActionCachePath object.  Closes #9282 *mindforge*
+
+*   Find layouts even if they're not in the first view_paths directory.  Closes #9258 *caio*
+
+*   Major improvement to the documentation for the options / select form helpers. Closes #9038 *Chris Kampmeier, jardeon, wesg*
+
+*   Fix number_to_human_size when using different precisions. Closes #7536. *RichardStrand, mpalmer*
+
+*   Added partial layouts (see example in action_view/lib/partials.rb) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Allow you to set custom :conditions on resource routes.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed that file.content_type for uploaded files would include a trailing \r #9053 *Brad Greenlee*
+
+*   url_for now accepts a series of symbols representing the namespace of the record *Josh Knowles*
+
+*   Make :trailing_slash work with query parameters for url_for. Closes #4004 *nov*
+
+*   Make sure missing template exceptions actually say which template they were looking for.  Closes #8683 *dasil003*
+
+*   Fix errors with around_filters which do not yield, restore 1.1 behaviour with after filters. Closes #8891 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+    After filters will *no longer* be run if an around_filter fails to yield, users relying on
+    this behaviour are advised to put the code in question after a yield statement in an around filter.
+
+
+*   Allow you to delete cookies with options. Closes #3685 *Josh Peek, Chris Wanstrath*
+
+*   Allow you to render views with periods in the name.  Closes #8076 *Norbert Crombach*
+
+    render :partial => 'show.html.erb'
+
+*   Improve capture helper documentation.  #8796 *Chris Kampmeier*
+
+*   Prefix nested resource named routes with their action name, e.g. new_group_user_path(@group) instead of group_new_user_path(@group). The old nested action named route is deprecated in Rails 1.2.4.  #8558 *David Chelimsky*
+
+*   Allow sweepers to be created solely for expiring after controller actions, not model changes *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added assigns method to ActionController::Caching::Sweeper to easily access instance variables on the controller *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Give the legacy X-POST_DATA_FORMAT header greater precedence during params parsing for backward compatibility.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed that link_to with an href of # when using :method will not allow for click-through without JavaScript #7037 *Steven Bristol, Josh Peek*
+
+*   Fixed that radio_button_tag should generate unique ids #3353 *Bob Silva, Rebecca, Josh Peek*
+
+*   Fixed that HTTP authentication should work if the header is called REDIRECT_X_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION as well #6754 *Mislav Marohnić*
+
+*   Don't mistakenly interpret the request uri as the query string.  #8731 *Pratik Naik, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Make ActionView#view_paths an attr_accessor for real this time.  Also, don't perform an unnecessary #compact on the @view_paths array in #initialize.  Closes #8582 *dasil003, julik, Rick Olson*
+
+*   Tolerate missing content type on multipart file uploads. Fix for Safari 3.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Deprecation: remove pagination. Install the classic_pagination plugin for forward compatibility, or move to the superior will_paginate plugin.  #8157 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Action caching is limited to GET requests returning 200 OK status.  #3335 *tom@craz8.com, halfbyte, Dan Kubb, Josh Peek*
+
+*   Improve Text Helper test coverage.  #7274 *Rob Sanheim, Josh Peek*
+
+*   Improve helper test coverage.  #7208, #7212, #7215, #7233, #7234, #7235, #7236, #7237, #7238, #7241, #7243, #7244 *Rich Collins, Josh Peek*
+
+*   Improve UrlRewriter tests.  #7207 *Rich Collins*
+
+*   Resources: url_for([parent, child]) generates /parents/1/children/2 for the nested resource. Likewise with the other simply helpful methods like form_for and link_to.  #6432 *mhw, Jonathan Vaught, lotswholetime*
+
+*   Assume html format when rendering partials in RJS. #8076 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Don't double-escape url_for in views.  #8144 *Rich Collins, Josh Peek*
+
+*   Allow JSON-style values for the :with option of observe_field.  Closes #8557 *kommen*
+
+*   Remove RAILS_ROOT from backtrace paths.  #8540 *Tim Pope*
+
+*   Routing: map.resource :logo routes to LogosController so the controller may be reused for multiple nestings or namespaces.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   render :partial recognizes Active Record associations as Arrays.  #8538 *Kamal Fariz Mahyuddin*
+
+*   Routing: drop semicolon and comma as route separators.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   request.remote_ip understands X-Forwarded-For addresses with nonstandard whitespace.  #7386 *moses*
+
+*   Don't prepare response when rendering a component.  #8493 *jsierles*
+
+*   Reduce file stat calls when checking for template changes.  #7736 *alex*
+
+*   Added custom path cache_page/expire_page parameters in addition to the options hashes *DHH*. Example:
+
+        def index
+          caches_page(response.body, "/index.html")
+        end
+
+*   Action Caching speedup.  #8231 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Wordsmith resources documentation.  #8484 *marclove*
+
+*   Fix syntax error in code example for routing documentation. #8377. *Norbert Crombach*
+
+*   Routing: respond with 405 Method Not Allowed status when the route path matches but the HTTP method does not.  #6953 *Josh Peek, defeated, Dan Kubb, Coda Hale*
+
+*   Add support for assert_select_rjs with :show and :hide. #7780 *dchelimsky*
+
+*   Make assert_select's failure messages clearer about what failed. #7779 *dchelimsky*
+
+*   Introduce a default respond_to block for custom types.  #8174 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   auto_complete_field takes a :method option so you can GET or POST.  #8120 *zapnap*
+
+*   Added option to suppress :size when using :maxlength for FormTagHelper#text_field #3112 *Tim Pope*
+
+*   catch possible WSOD when trying to render a missing partial. Closes #8454 *Jonathan del Strother*
+
+*   Rewind request body after reading it, if possible.  #8438 *s450r1*
+
+*   Resource namespaces are inherited by their has_many subresources.  #8280 *marclove, Geoff Garside*
+
+*   Fix filtered parameter logging with nil parameter values.  #8422 *choonkeat*
+
+*   Integration tests: alias xhr to xml_http_request and add a request_method argument instead of always using POST.  #7124 *Nik Wakelin, François Beausoleil, Wizard*
+
+*   Document caches_action.  #5419 *Jarkko Laine*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.1.  *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Allow routes to be decalred under namespaces *Tobias Lütke*:
+
+    map.namespace :admin do |admin|
+        admin.root :controller => "products"
+        admin.feed 'feed.xml', :controller => 'products', :action => 'feed', :format => 'xml'
+    end
+
+*   Update to script.aculo.us 1.7.1_beta3.  *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   observe_form always sends the serialized form.  #5271 *Manfred Stienstra, normelton@gmail.com*
+
+*   Parse url-encoded and multipart requests ourselves instead of delegating to CGI.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   select :include_blank option can be set to a string instead of true, which just uses an empty string.  #7664 *Wizard*
+
+*   Added url_for usage on render :location, which allows for record identification *DHH*. Example:
+
+        render :xml => person, :status => :created, :location => person
+
+    ...expands the location to person_url(person).
+
+*   Introduce the request.body stream. Lazy-read to parse parameters rather than always setting RAW_POST_DATA. Reduces the memory footprint of large binary PUT requests.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add some performance enhancements to ActionView.
+
+    * Cache base_paths in @@cached_base_paths
+    * Cache template extensions in @@cached_template_extension
+    * Remove unnecessary rescues
+
+*   Assume that rendered partials go by the HTML format by default
+
+    def my_partial
+        render :update do |page|
+          # in this order
+          # _foo.html.erb
+          # _foo.erb
+          # _foo.rhtml
+          page.replace :foo, :partial => 'foo'
+        end
+    end
+
+*   Added record identifications to FormHelper#form_for and PrototypeHelper#remote_form_for *DHH*. Examples:
+
+        <% form_for(@post) do |f| %>
+          ...
+        <% end %>
+
+    This will expand to be the same as:
+
+        <% form_for :post, @post, :url => post_path(@post), :html => { :method => :put, :class => "edit_post", :id => "edit_post_45" } do |f| %>
+          ...
+        <% end %>
+
+    And for new records:
+
+        <% form_for(Post.new) do |f| %>
+          ...
+        <% end %>
+
+    This will expand to be the same as:
+
+        <% form_for :post, @post, :url => posts_path, :html => { :class => "new_post", :id => "new_post" } do |f| %>
+          ...
+        <% end %>
+
+*   Rationalize route path escaping according to RFC 2396 section 3.3.  #7544, #8307. *Jeremy Kemper, Chris Roos, begemot, jugend*
+
+*   Added record identification with polymorphic routes for ActionController::Base#url_for and ActionView::Base#url_for *DHH*. Examples:
+
+        redirect_to(post)         # => redirect_to(posts_url(post))         => Location: http://example.com/posts/1
+        link_to(post.title, post) # => link_to(post.title, posts_url(post)) => <a href="/posts/1">Hello world</a>
+
+    Any method that calls url_for on its parameters will automatically benefit from this.
+
+*   Removed deprecated parameters_for_method_reference concept (legacy from before named routes) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add ActionController::Routing::Helpers, a module to contain common URL helpers such as polymorphic_url. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Included the HttpAuthentication plugin as part of core (ActionController::HttpAuthentication::Basic) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Modernize documentation for form helpers. *Jeremy McAnally*
+
+*   Add brief introduction to REST to the resources documentation. *fearoffish*
+
+*   Fix various documentation typos throughout ActionPack. *Henrik N*
+
+*   Enhance documentation and add examples for url_for. *Jeremy McAnally*
+
+*   Fix documentation typo in routes. *Norbert Crombach, pam*
+
+*   Sweep flash when filter chain is halted. *Caio Chassot <lists@v2studio.com>*
+
+*   Fixed that content_tag with a block will just return the result instead of concate it if not used in a ERb view #7857, #7432 *michael.niessner*
+
+*   Replace the current block/continuation filter chain handling by an implementation based on a simple loop.  #8226 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Update UrlWriter to accept :anchor parameter. Closes #6771. *Chris McGrath*
+
+*   Added RecordTagHelper for using RecordIdentifier conventions on divs and other container elements *DHH*. Example:
+
+        <% div_for(post) do %>     <div id="post_45" class="post">
+          <%= post.body %>           What a wonderful world!
+        <% end %>                  </div>
+
+*   Added page[record] accessor to JavaScriptGenerator that relies on RecordIdentifier to find the right dom id *DHH*. Example:
+
+        format.js do
+          # Calls: new Effect.fade('post_45');
+          render(:update) { |page| page[post].visual_effect(:fade) }
+        end
+
+*   Added RecordIdentifier to enforce view conventions on records for dom ids, classes, and partial paths *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added map.namespace to deal with the common situation of admin sections and the like *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+        Before:
+
+          map.resources :products, :path_prefix => "admin", :controller => "admin/products", :collection => { :inventory => :get }, :member => { :duplicate => :post }
+          map.resources :tags, :name_prefix => 'admin_product_', :path_prefix => "admin/products/:product_id", :controller => "admin/product_tags"
+          map.resources :images, :name_prefix => 'admin_product_', :path_prefix => "admin/products/:product_id", :controller => "admin/product_images"
+          map.resources :variants, :name_prefix => 'admin_product_', :path_prefix => "admin/products/:product_id", :controller => "admin/product_variants"
+
+        After:
+
+          map.namespace(:admin) do |admin|
+            admin.resources :products,
+              :collection => { :inventory => :get },
+              :member     => { :duplicate => :post },
+              :has_many   => [ :tags, :images, :variants ]
+          end
+
+*   Added :name_prefix as standard for nested resources *DHH*. WARNING: May be backwards incompatible with your app
+
+        Before:
+
+          map.resources :emails do |emails|
+            emails.resources :comments,    :name_prefix => "email_"
+            emails.resources :attachments, :name_prefix => "email_"
+          end
+
+        After:
+
+          map.resources :emails do |emails|
+            emails.resources :comments
+            emails.resources :attachments
+          end
+
+        This does mean that if you intended to have comments_url go to /emails/5/comments, then you'll have to set :name_prefix to nil explicitly.
+
+*   Added :has_many and :has_one for declaring plural and singular resources beneath the current *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+        Before:
+
+          map.resources :notes do |notes|
+            notes.resources :comments
+            notes.resources :attachments
+            notes.resource :author
+          end
+
+        After:
+
+          map.resources :notes, :has_many => [ :comments, :attachments ], :has_one => :author
+
+*   Added that render :xml will try to call to_xml if it can *DHH*. Makes these work:
+
+        render :xml => post
+        render :xml => comments
+
+*   Added :location option to render so that the common pattern of rendering a response after creating a new resource is now a 1-liner *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+        render :xml => post.to_xml, :status => :created, :location => post_url(post)
+
+*   Ensure that render_text only adds string content to the body of the response *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Return the string representation from an Xml Builder when rendering a partial. Closes #5044 *Tim Pope*
+
+*   Fixed that parameters from XML should also be presented in a hash with indifferent access *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Tweak template format rules so that the ACCEPT header is only used if it's text/javascript.  This is so ajax actions without a :format param get recognized as Mime::JS. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   The default respond_to blocks don't set a specific extension anymore, so that both 'show.rjs' and 'show.js.rjs' will work. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Allow layouts with extension of .html.erb.  Closes #8032 *Josh Knowles*
+
+*   Change default respond_to templates for xml and rjs formats. *Rick Olson*
+
+    * Default xml template goes from #{action_name}.rxml => #{action_name}.xml.builder.
+    * Default rjs template goes from #{action_name}.rjs => #{action_name}.js.rjs.
+
+    You can still specify your old templates:
+
+        respond_to do |format|
+          format.xml do
+            render :action => "#{action_name}.rxml"
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Fix WSOD due to modification of a formatted template extension so that requests to templates like 'foo.html.erb' fail on the second hit.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix WSOD when template compilation fails *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Change ActionView template defaults.  Look for templates using the request format first, such as "show.html.erb" or "show.xml.builder", before looking for the old defaults like "show.erb" or "show.builder" *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Highlight helper highlights one or many terms in a single pass.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Dropped the use of ; as a separator of non-crud actions on resources and went back to the vanilla slash. It was a neat idea, but lots of the non-crud actions turned out not to be RPC (as the ; was primarily intended to discourage), but legitimate sub-resources, like /parties/recent, which didn't deserve the uglification of /parties;recent. Further more, the semicolon caused issues with caching and HTTP authentication in Safari. Just Not Worth It *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added that FormTagHelper#submit_tag will return to its original state if the submit fails and you're using :disable_with *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Cleaned up, corrected, and mildly expanded ActionPack documentation.  Closes #7190 *Jeremy McAnally*
+
+*   Small collection of ActionController documentation cleanups.  Closes #7319 *Jeremy McAnally*
+
+*   Make sure the route expiry hash is constructed by comparing the to_param-ized values of each hash. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Allow configuration of the default action cache path for #caches_action calls.  *Rick Olson*
+
+    class ListsController < ApplicationController
+        caches_action :index, :cache_path => Proc.new { |controller|
+          controller.params[:user_id] ?
+            controller.send(:user_lists_url, c.params[:user_id]) :
+            controller.send(:lists_url) }
+    end
+
+*   Performance: patch cgi/session/pstore to require digest/md5 once rather than per #initialize.  #7583 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Cookie session store: ensure that new sessions doesn't reuse data from a deleted session in the same request.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Deprecation: verification with :redirect_to => :named_route shouldn't be deprecated.  #7525 *Justin French*
+
+*   Cookie session store: raise ArgumentError when :session_key is blank.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Deprecation: remove deprecated request, redirect, and dependency methods. Remove deprecated instance variables. Remove deprecated url_for(:symbol, *args) and redirect_to(:symbol, *args) in favor of named routes. Remove uses_component_template_root for toplevel components directory. Privatize deprecated render_partial and render_partial_collection view methods. Remove deprecated link_to_image, link_image_to, update_element_function, start_form_tag, and end_form_tag helper methods. Remove deprecated human_size helper alias.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Consistent public/protected/private visibility for chained methods.  #7813 *Dan Manges*
+
+*   Prefer MIME constants to strings.  #7707 *Dan Kubb*
+
+*   Allow array and hash query parameters. Array route parameters are converted/to/a/path as before.  #6765, #7047, #7462 *bgipsy, Jeremy McAnally, Dan Kubb, brendan*
+
+    \# Add a #dbman attr_reader for CGI::Session and make CGI::Session::CookieStore#generate_digest public so it's easy to generate digests    using the cookie store's secret. *Rick Olson*
+*   Added Request#url that returns the complete URL used for the request *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Extract dynamic scaffolding into a plugin.  #7700 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Added user/password options for url_for to add http authentication in a URL *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that FormTagHelper#text_area_tag should disregard :size option if it's not a string *Brendon Davidson*
+
+*   Set the original button value in an attribute of the button when using the :disable_with key with submit_tag, so that the original can be restored later. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   session_enabled? works with session :off.  #6680 *Jonathan del Strother*
+
+*   Added :port and :host handling to UrlRewriter (which unified url_for usage, regardless of whether it's called in view or controller) #7616 *alancfrancis*
+
+*   Allow send_file/send_data to use a registered mime type as the :type parameter #7620 *jonathan*
+
+*   Allow routing requirements on map.resource(s) #7633 *quixoten*. Example:
+
+    map.resources :network_interfaces, :requirements => { :id => /^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/ }
+
+*   Cookie session store: empty and unchanged sessions don't write a cookie.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added helper(:all) as a way to include all helpers from app/helpers/**/*.rb in ApplicationController *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Integration tests: introduce methods for other HTTP methods.  #6353 *caboose*
+
+*   Routing: better support for escaped values in route segments.  #7544 [Chris
+    Roos]
+*   Introduce a cookie-based session store as the Rails default. Sessions typically contain at most a user_id and flash message; both fit within the 4K cookie size limit. A secure message digest is included with the cookie to ensure data integrity (a user cannot alter his user_id without knowing the secret key included in the digest). If you have more than 4K of session data or don't want your data to be visible to the user, pick another session store.  Cookie-based sessions are dramatically faster than the alternatives.   *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+    Example config/environment.rb:
+        # Use an application-wide secret key and the default SHA1 message digest.
+        config.action_controller.session = { :secret => "can't touch this" }
+
+        # Store a secret key per user and employ a stronger message digest.
+        config.action_controller.session = {
+          :digest => 'SHA512',
+          :secret => Proc.new { User.current.secret_key }
+        }
+
+*   Added .erb and .builder as preferred aliases to the now deprecated .rhtml and .rxml extensions *Chad Fowler*. This is done to separate the renderer from the mime type. .erb templates are often used to render emails, atom, csv, whatever. So labeling them .rhtml doesn't make too much sense. The same goes for .rxml, which can be used to build everything from HTML to Atom to whatever. .rhtml and .rxml will continue to work until Rails 3.0, though. So this is a slow phasing out. All generators and examples will start using the new aliases, though.
+
+*   Added caching option to AssetTagHelper#stylesheet_link_tag and AssetTagHelper#javascript_include_tag *DHH*. Examples:
+
+        stylesheet_link_tag :all, :cache => true # when ActionController::Base.perform_caching is false =>
+          <link href="/stylesheets/style1.css"  media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
+          <link href="/stylesheets/styleB.css"  media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
+          <link href="/stylesheets/styleX2.css" media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
+
+        stylesheet_link_tag :all, :cache => true # when ActionController::Base.perform_caching is true =>
+          <link href="/stylesheets/all.css"  media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
+
+    ...when caching is on, all.css is the concatenation of style1.css, styleB.css, and styleX2.css.
+    Same deal for JavaScripts.
+
+*   Work around the two connection per host browser limit: use asset%d.myapp.com to distribute asset requests among asset[0123].myapp.com. Use a DNS wildcard or CNAMEs to map these hosts to your asset server. See http://www.die.net/musings/page_load_time/ for background.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added default mime type for CSS (Mime::CSS) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added that rendering will automatically insert the etag header on 200 OK responses. The etag is calculated using MD5 of the response body. If a request comes in that has a matching etag, the response will be changed to a 304 Not Modified and the response body will be set to an empty string. *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added X-Runtime to all responses with the request run time *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add Mime::Type convenience methods to check the current mime type. *Rick Olson*
+
+    request.format.html? # => true if Mime::HTML
+    request.format.jpg?  # => true if Mime::JPG
+
+    \# ActionController sample usage:
+    \# the session will be disabled for non html/ajax requests
+    session :off, :if => Proc.new { |req| !(req.format.html? || req.format.js?) }
+
+*   Performance: patch cgi/session to require digest/md5 once rather than per #create_new_id.  *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Add a :url_based_filename => true option to ActionController::Streaming::send_file, which allows URL-based filenames.  *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Fix that FormTagHelper#submit_tag using :disable_with should trigger the onsubmit handler of its form if available *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fix #render_file so that TemplateError is called with the correct params and you don't get the WSOD.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix issue with deprecation messing up #template_root= usage.  Add #prepend_view_path and #append_view_path to allow modification of a copy of the
+    superclass' view_paths.  *Rick Olson*
+*   Allow Controllers to have multiple view_paths instead of a single template_root.  Closes #2754 *John Long*
+
+*   Add much-needed html-scanner tests.  Fixed CDATA parsing bug. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   improve error message for Routing for named routes.  Closes #7346 *Rob Sanheim*
+
+*   Added enhanced docs to routing assertions.  Closes #7359 *Rob Sanheim*
+
+*   fix form_for example in ActionController::Resources documentation.  Closes #7362 *gnarg*
+
+*   Make sure that the string returned by TextHelper#truncate is actually a string, not a char proxy -- that should only be used internally while working on a multibyte-safe way of truncating *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added FormBuilder#submit as a delegate for FormTagHelper#submit_tag *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Allow Routes to generate all urls for a set of options by specifying :generate_all => true. Allows caching to properly set or expire all paths for a resource. References #1739. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Change the query parser to map empty GET params to "" rather than nil. Closes #5694. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   date_select and datetime_select take a :default option.  #7052 *Nik Wakelin*
+        date_select "post", "written_on", :default => 3.days.from_now
+        date_select "credit_card", "bill_due", :default => { :day => 20 }
+
+*   select :multiple => true suffixes the attribute name with [] unless already suffixed.  #6977 *nik.kakelin, ben, julik*
+
+*   Improve routes documentation.  #7095 *zackchandler*
+
+*   mail_to :encode => 'hex' also encodes the mailto: part of the href attribute as well as the linked email when no name is given.  #2061 *Jarkko Laine, pfc.pille@gmx.net*
+
+*   Resource member routes require :id, eliminating the ambiguous overlap with collection routes.  #7229 *dkubb*
+
+*   Remove deprecated assertions.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Change session restoration to allow namespaced models to be autoloaded. Closes #6348. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix doubly appearing parameters due to string and symbol mixups. Closes #2551. *Anthony Eden*
+
+*   Fix overly greedy rescues when loading helpers. Fixes #6268. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed NumberHelper#number_with_delimiter to use "." always for splitting the original number, not the delimiter parameter #7389 *ceefour*
+
+*   Autolinking recognizes trailing and embedded . , : ;  #7354 *Jarkko Laine*
+
+*   Make TextHelper::auto_link recognize URLs with colons in path correctly, fixes #7268.  *imajes*
+
+*   Update to script.aculo.us 1.7.0.  *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Modernize cookie testing code, and increase coverage (Heckle++) #7101 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Improve Test Coverage for ActionController::Routing::Route#matches_controller_and_action? (Heckle++) #7115 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Heckling ActionController::Resources::Resource revealed that set_prefixes didn't break when :name_prefix was munged. #7081 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Fix #distance_of_time_in_words to report accurately against the Duration class.  #7114 *eventualbuddha*
+
+*   Refactor #form_tag to allow easy extending.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   RecordInvalid, RecordNotSaved => 422 Unprocessable Entity, StaleObjectError => 409 Conflict.  #7097 *dkubb*
+
+*   Allow fields_for to be nested inside form_for, so that the name and id get properly constructed *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Allow inGroupsOf and eachSlice to be called through rjs. #7046 *Cody Fauser*
+
+*   Allow exempt_from_layout :rhtml.  #6742, #7026 *Dan Manges, Squeegy*
+
+*   Recognize the .txt extension as Mime::TEXT *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix parsing of array[] CGI parameters so extra empty values aren't included.  #6252 *Nicholas Seckar, aiwilliams, brentrowland*
+
+*   link_to_unless_current works with full URLs as well as paths.  #6891 *Jarkko Laine, Manfred Stienstra, idrifter*
+
+*   Lookup the mime type for #auto_discovery_link_tag in the Mime::Type class.  Closes #6941 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Fix bug where nested resources ignore a parent singleton parent's path prefix.  Closes #6940 *Dan Kubb*
+
+*   Fix no method error with error_messages_on.  Closes #6935 *nik.wakelin Koz*
+
+*   Slight doc tweak to the ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper#replace docs.  Closes #6922 *Steven Bristol*

+
+*   Add more extensive documentation to the AssetTagHelper.  Closes #6452 *Bob Silva*

+*   Clean up multiple calls to #stringify_keys in TagHelper, add better documentation and testing for TagHelper.  Closes #6394 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   [DOCS] fix reference to ActionController::Macros::AutoComplete for #text_field_with_auto_complete. Closes #2578 *Jan Prill*
+
+*   Make sure html_document is reset between integration test requests. *ctm*
+
+*   Set session to an empty hash if :new_session => false and no session cookie or param is present. CGI::Session was raising an unrescued ArgumentError.  *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Routing uses URI escaping for path components and CGI escaping for query parameters.  *darix, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fix assert_redirected_to bug where redirecting from a nested to to a top-level controller incorrectly added the current controller's nesting.  Closes #6128.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Singleton resources: POST /singleton => create, GET /singleton/new => new.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Use 400 Bad Request status for unrescued ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid exceptions.  *Jeremy Kemper*

+
+*   Fix HTML::Node to output double quotes instead of single quotes.  Closes #6845 *mitreandy*
+
+*   Correctly report which filter halted the chain.  #6699 *Martin Emde*
+
+*   Fix a bug in Routing where a parameter taken from the path of the current request could not be used as a query parameter for the next. Closes #6752. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Unrescued ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound responds with 404 instead of 500.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Improved auto_link to match more valid urls correctly *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Add singleton resources. *Rick Olson*
+
+    map.resource :account
+
+    GET /account
+    GET /account;edit
+    UPDATE /account
+    DELETE /account
+
+*   respond_to recognizes JSON. render :json => @person.to_json automatically sets the content type and takes a :callback option to specify a client-side function to call using the rendered JSON as an argument.  #4185 *Scott Raymond, eventualbuddha*
+        # application/json response with body 'Element.show({:name: "David"})'
+        respond_to do |format|
+          format.json { render :json => { :name => "David" }.to_json, :callback => 'Element.show' }
+        end
+
+*   Makes :discard_year work without breaking multi-attribute parsing in AR.  #1260, #3800 *sean@ardismg.com, jmartin@desertflood.com, stephen@touset.org, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Adds html id attribute to date helper elements.  #1050, #1382 *mortonda@dgrmm.net, David North, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Add :index and @auto_index capability to model driven date/time selects.  #847, #2655 *moriq, Doug Fales, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Add :order to datetime_select, select_datetime, and select_date.  #1427 *Timothee Peignier, Patrick Lenz, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Added time_select to work with time values in models. Update scaffolding.  #2489, #2833 *Justin Palmer, Andre Caum, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Added :include_seconds to select_datetime, datetime_select and time_select.  #2998 *csn, Bob Silva*
+
+*   All date/datetime selects can now accept an array of month names with :use_month_names. Allows for localization.  #363 *tomasj, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Adds :time_separator to select_time and :date_separator to select_datetime. Preserves BC.  #3811 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Added map.root as an alias for map.connect '' *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added Request#format to return the format used for the request as a mime type. If no format is specified, the first Request#accepts type is used. This means you can stop using respond_to for anything else than responses *DHH*. Examples:
+
+        GET /posts/5.xml   | request.format => Mime::XML
+        GET /posts/5.xhtml | request.format => Mime::HTML
+        GET /posts/5       | request.format => request.accepts.first (usually Mime::HTML for browsers)
+
+*   Added the option for extension aliases to mime type registration *DHH*. Example (already in the default routes):
+
+        Mime::Type.register "text/html", :html, %w( application/xhtml+xml ), %w( xhtml )
+
+    ...will respond on both .html and .xhtml.
+
+*   @response.redirect_url works with 201 Created responses: just return headers['Location'] rather than checking the response status.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added CSV to Mime::SET so that respond_to csv will work *Cody Fauser*
+
+*   Fixed that HEAD should return the proper Content-Length header (that is, actually use @body.size, not just 0) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added GET-masquarading for HEAD, so request.method will return :get even for HEADs. This will help anyone relying on case request.method to automatically work with HEAD and map.resources will also allow HEADs to all GET actions. Rails automatically throws away the response content in a reply to HEAD, so you don't even need to worry about that. If you, for whatever reason, still need to distinguish between GET and HEAD in some edge case, you can use Request#head? and even Request.headers["REQUEST_METHOD"] for get the "real" answer. Closes #6694 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Update Routing to complain when :controller is not specified by a route. Closes #6669. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Ensure render_to_string cleans up after itself when an exception is raised.  #6658 *Rob Sanheim*
+
+*   Extract template_changed_since? from compile_template? so plugins may override its behavior for non-file-based templates.  #6651 *Jeff Barczewski*
+
+*   Update to Prototype and script.aculo.us [5579]. *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   simple_format helper doesn't choke on nil.  #6644 *jerry426*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc2 [5550] which makes it work in Opera again *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Reuse named route helper module between Routing reloads. Use remove_method to delete named route methods after each load. Since the module is never collected, this fixes a significant memory leak. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   ActionView::Base.erb_variable accessor names the buffer variable used to render templates. Defaults to _erbout; use _buf for erubis.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   assert_select_rjs :remove.  *Dylan Egan*
+
+*   Always clear model associations from session.  #4795 *sd@notso.net, andylien@gmail.com*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc2. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Remove JavaScriptLiteral in favor of ActiveSupport::JSON::Variable. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Sync ActionController::StatusCodes::STATUS_CODES with http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes.  #6586 *dkubb*
+
+*   Multipart form values may have a content type without being treated as uploaded files if they do not provide a filename.  #6401 *Andreas Schwarz, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   assert_response supports symbolic status codes.  #6569 *Kevin Clark*
+        assert_response :ok
+        assert_response :not_found
+        assert_response :forbidden
+
+*   Cache parsed query parameters.  #6559 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Deprecate JavaScriptHelper#update_element_function, which is superseeded by RJS *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   pluralize helper interprets nil as zero.  #6474 *Tim Pope*
+
+*   Fix invalid test fixture exposed by stricter Ruby 1.8.5 multipart parsing.  #6524 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Set ActionView::Base.default_form_builder once rather than passing the :builder option to every form or overriding the form helper methods.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Deprecate expire_matched_fragments. Use expire_fragment instead.  #6535 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Update to latest Prototype, which doesn't serialize disabled form elements, adds clone() to arrays, empty/non-string Element.update() and adds a fixes excessive error reporting in WebKit beta versions *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Deprecate start_form_tag and end_form_tag.  Use form_tag / '</form>' from now on.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added block-usage to PrototypeHelper#form_remote_tag, document block-usage of FormTagHelper#form_tag *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Add a 0 margin/padding div around the hidden _method input tag that form_tag outputs.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added block-usage to TagHelper#content_tag *DHH*. Example:
+
+     <% content_tag :div, :class => "strong" %>
+         Hello world!
+     <% end %>
+
+    Will output:
+        <div class="strong">Hello world!</div>
+
+*   Deprecated UrlHelper#link_to_image and UrlHelper#link_to :post => true #6409 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Upgraded NumberHelper with number_to_phone support international formats to comply with ITU E.123 by supporting area codes with less than 3 digits, added precision argument to number_to_human_size (defaults to 1) #6421 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Fixed that setting RAILS_ASSET_ID to "" should not add a trailing slash after assets #6454 *Bob Silva/chrismear*
+
+*   Force *_url named routes to show the host in ActionView *Rick Olson*
+
+    <%= url_for ... %> # no host
+    <%= foo_path %>    # no host
+    <%= foo_url %>     # host!
+
+*   Add support for converting blocks into function arguments to JavaScriptGenerator#call and JavaScriptProxy#call. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Add JavaScriptGenerator#literal for wrapping a string in an object whose #to_json is the string itself. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Add <%= escape_once html %> to escape html while leaving any currently escaped entities alone.  Fix button_to double-escaping issue. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix double-escaped entities, such as &amp;amp;, &amp;#123;, etc. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix deprecation warnings when rendering the template error template. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix routing to correctly determine when generation fails. Closes #6300. *psross*.
+
+*   Fix broken assert_generates when extra keys are being checked. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Replace KCODE checks with String#chars for truncate.  Closes #6385 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Make page caching respect the format of the resource that is being requested even if the current route is the default route so that, e.g. posts.rss is not transformed by url_for to '/' and subsequently cached as '/index.html' when it should be cached as '/posts.rss'.  *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Use String#chars in TextHelper::excerpt. Closes #6386 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Install named routes into ActionView::Base instead of proxying them to the view via helper_method. Closes #5932. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Update to latest Prototype and script.aculo.us trunk versions *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Fix relative URL root matching problems. *Mark Imbriaco*
+
+*   Fix filter skipping in controller subclasses.  #5949, #6297, #6299 *Martin Emde*
+
+*   render_text may optionally append to the response body. render_javascript appends by default. This allows you to chain multiple render :update calls by setting @performed_render = false between them (awaiting a better public API).  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Rename test assertion to prevent shadowing. Closes #6306. *psross*
+
+*   Fixed that NumberHelper#number_to_delimiter should respect precision of higher than two digits #6231 *Philip Hallstrom*
+
+*   Fixed that FormHelper#radio_button didn't respect an :id being passed in #6266 *evansj*
+
+*   Added an html_options hash parameter to javascript_tag() and update_page_tag() helpers #6311 *tzaharia*. Example:
+
+        update_page_tag :defer => 'true' { |page| ... }
+
+    Gives:
+
+        <script defer="true" type="text/javascript">...</script>
+
+    Which is needed for dealing with the IE6 DOM when it's not yet fully loaded.
+
+*   Fixed that rescue template path shouldn't be hardcoded, then it's easier to hook in your own #6295 *Mike Naberezny*
+
+*   Fixed escaping of backslashes in JavaScriptHelper#escape_javascript #6302 *sven@c3d2.de*
+
+*   Fixed that some 500 rescues would cause 500's themselves because the response had not yet been generated #6329 *cmselmer*
+
+*   respond_to :html doesn't assume .rhtml.  #6281 *Hampton Catlin*
+
+*   Fixed some deprecation warnings in ActionPack *Rick Olson*
+
+*   assert_select_rjs decodes escaped unicode chars since the Javascript generators encode them.  #6240 *japgolly*
+
+*   Deprecation: @cookies, @headers, @request, @response will be removed after 1.2. Use the corresponding method instead.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Make the :status parameter expand to the default message for that status code if it is an integer. Also support symbol statuses. *Jamis Buck*. Examples:
+
+        head :status => 404        # expands to "404 Not Found"
+        head :status => :not_found # expands to "404 Not Found"
+        head :status => :created   # expands to "201 Created"
+
+*   Add head(options = {}) for responses that have no body. *Jamis Buck*. Examples:
+
+        head :status => 404 # return an empty response with a 404 status
+        head :location => person_path(@person), :status => 201
+
+*   Fix bug that kept any before_filter except the first one from being able to halt the before_filter chain.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   strip_links is case-insensitive.  #6285 *tagoh, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Clear the cache of possible controllers whenever Routes are reloaded. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Filters overhaul including meantime filter support using around filters + blocks.  #5949 *Martin Emde, Roman Le Negrate, Stefan Kaes, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Update RJS render tests. *sam*
+
+*   Update CGI process to allow sessions to contain namespaced models. Closes #4638. *dfelstead@site5.com*
+
+*   Fix routing to respect user provided requirements and defaults when assigning default routing options (such as :action => 'index'). Closes #5950. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Rescue Errno::ECONNRESET to handle an unexpectedly closed socket connection. Improves SCGI reliability.  #3368, #6226 *sdsykes, fhanshaw@vesaria.com*
+
+*   Added that respond_to blocks will automatically set the content type to be the same as is requested *DHH*. Examples:
+
+        respond_to do |format|
+          format.html { render :text => "I'm being sent as text/html" }
+          format.rss  { render :text => "I'm being sent as application/rss+xml" }
+          format.atom { render :text => "I'm being sent as application/xml", :content_type => Mime::XML }
+        end
+
+*   Added utf-8 as the default charset for all renders. You can change this default using ActionController::Base.default_charset=(encoding) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added proper getters and setters for content type and charset *DHH*. Example of what we used to do:
+
+        response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/atom+xml; charset=utf-8"
+
+    ...now:
+
+        response.content_type = Mime::ATOM
+        response.charset      = "utf-8"
+
+*   Updated prototype.js to 1.5.0_rc1 with latest fixes. *Rick Olson*
+
+    - XPATH support
+    - Make Form.getElements() return elements in the correct order
+    - fix broken Form.serialize return
+
+*   Declare file extensions exempt from layouts.  #6219 *brandon*
+        Example: ActionController::Base.exempt_from_layout 'rpdf'
+
+*   Add chained replace/update support for assert_select_rjs *Rick Olson*
+
+        Given RJS like...
+
+          page['test1'].replace "<div id=\"1\">foo</div>"
+          page['test2'].replace_html "<div id=\"2\">foo</div>"
+
+        Test it with...
+
+          assert_select_rjs :chained_replace
+          assert_select_rjs :chained_replace, "test1"
+
+          assert_select_rjs :chained_replace_html
+          assert_select_rjs :chained_replace_html, "test2"
+
+*   Load helpers in alphabetical order for consistency. Resolve cyclic javascript_helper dependency.  #6132, #6178 *choonkeat@gmail.com*
+
+*   Skip params with empty names, such as the &=Save query string from <input type="submit"/>.  #2569 *Manfred Stienstra, raphinou@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Fix assert_tag so that :content => "foo" does not match substrings, but only exact strings. Use :content => /foo/ to match substrings. #2799 *Eric Hodel*
+
+*   Add descriptive messages to the exceptions thrown by cgi_methods. #6091, #6103 *Nicholas Seckar, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Update JavaScriptGenerator#show/hide/toggle/remove to new Prototype syntax for multiple ids,  #6068 *petermichaux@gmail.com*
+
+*   Update UrlWriter to support :only_path. *Nicholas Seckar, Dave Thomas*
+
+*   Fixed JavaScriptHelper#link_to_function and JavaScriptHelper#button_to_function to have the script argument be optional *DHH*. So what used to require a nil, like this:
+
+        link_to("Hider", nil, :class => "hider_link") { |p| p[:something].hide }
+
+    ...can be written like this:
+
+        link_to("Hider", :class => "hider_link") { |p| p[:something].hide }
+
+*   Update to script.aculo.us 1.6.3 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc1 *sam*
+
+*   Added access to nested attributes in RJS #4548 *richcollins@gmail.com*. Examples:
+

+        page['foo']['style']['color']         # => $('blank_slate').style.color;
+        page['foo']['style']['color'] = 'red' # => $('blank_slate').style.color = 'red';
+        page['foo']['style'].color = 'red'    # => $('blank_slate').style.color = 'red';
+
+*   Fixed that AssetTagHelper#image_tag and others using compute_public_path should not modify the incoming source argument (closes #5102) *eule@space.ch*

+
+*   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)" *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Integration tests: thoroughly test ActionController::Integration::Session.  #6022 *Kevin Clark*
+        (tests skipped unless you `gem install mocha`)
+
+*   Added deprecation language for pagination which will become a plugin by Rails 2.0 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added deprecation language for in_place_editor and auto_complete_field that both pieces will become plugins by Rails 2.0 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Deprecated all of ActionController::Dependencies. All dependency loading is now handled from Active Support *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added assert_select* for CSS selector-based testing (deprecates assert_tag) #5936 *assaf.arkin@gmail.com*
+
+*   radio_button_tag generates unique id attributes.  #3353 *Bob Silva, somekool@gmail.com*

+
+*   button_to accepts :method so you can PUT and DELETE with it.  #6005 *Dan Webb*

+
+*   Deprecation: update docs. #5998 *Jakob Skjerning, Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Make auto_link parse a greater subset of valid url formats. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Integration tests: headers beginning with X aren't excluded from the HTTP_ prefix, so X-Requested-With becomes HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH as expected. *Mike Clark*
+
+*   Tighten rescue clauses.  #5985 *james@grayproductions.net*
+
+*   Fix send_data documentation typo.  #5982 *brad@madriska.com*
+
+*   Switch to using FormEncodedPairParser for parsing request parameters. *Nicholas Seckar, David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   respond_to .html now always renders #{action_name}.rhtml so that registered custom template handlers do not override it in priority. Custom mime types require a block and throw proper error now. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Deprecation: test deprecated instance vars in partials. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add UrlWriter to allow writing urls from Mailers and scripts. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Clean up and run the Active Record integration tests by default.  #5854 *Kevin Clark, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Correct example in cookies docs.  #5832 *jessemerriman@warpmail.net*
+
+*   Updated to script.aculo.us 1.6.2 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Relax Routing's anchor pattern warning; it was preventing use of [^/] inside restrictions. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add controller_paths variable to Routing. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix assert_redirected_to issue with named routes for module controllers.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Tweak RoutingError message to show option diffs, not just missing named route significant keys. *Rick Olson*
+

+
+*   Require Tempfile explicitly for TestUploadedFile due to changes in class auto loading.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Add RoutingError exception when RouteSet fails to generate a path from a Named Route. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Replace Reloadable with Reloadable::Deprecated. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Deprecation: check whether instance variables have been monkeyed with before assigning them to deprecation proxies. Raises a RuntimeError if so. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add support for the param_name parameter to the auto_complete_field helper. #5026 *david.a.williams@gmail.com*
+
+*   Deprecation! @params, @session, @flash will be removed after 1.2. Use the corresponding instance methods instead. You'll get printed warnings during tests and logged warnings in dev mode when you access either instance variable directly. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Make Routing noisy when an anchor regexp is assigned to a segment. #5674 *François Beausoleil*
+
+*   Added months and years to the resolution of DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words, such that "60 days ago" becomes "2 months ago" #5611 *pjhyett@gmail.com*
+
+*   Short documentation to mention use of Mime::Type.register. #5710 *choonkeat@gmail.com*

+
+*   Update query parser to support adjacent hashes. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Make action caching aware of different formats for the same action so that, e.g.  foo.xml is cached separately from foo.html. Implicitly set content type when reading in cached content with mime revealing extensions so the entire onous isn't on the webserver. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Restrict Request Method hacking with ?_method to POST requests.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix bug when passing multiple options to SimplyRestful, like :new => { :preview => :get, :draft => :get }.  *Rick Olson, Josh Susser, Lars Pind*
+
+*   Dup the options passed to map.resources so that multiple resources get the same options.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed the new_#{resource}_url route and added named route tests for Simply Restful.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added map.resources from the Simply Restful plugin *DHH*. Examples (the API has changed to use plurals!):
+
+        map.resources :messages
+        map.resources :messages, :comments
+        map.resources :messages, :new => { :preview => :post }
+
+*   Fixed that integration simulation of XHRs should set Accept header as well *Edward Frederick*

+
+*   Don't search a load-path of '.' for controller files *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Update integration.rb to require test_process explicitly instead of via Dependencies. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed that you can still access the flash after the flash has been reset in reset_session.  Closes #5584 *lmarlow*
+
+*   Allow form_for and fields_for to work with indexed form inputs.  *Jeremy Kemper, Matt Lyon*
+
+    <% form_for 'post[]', @post do |f| -%>
+    <% end -%>
+
+*   Remove leak in development mode by replacing define_method with module_eval. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Provide support for decimal columns to form helpers. Closes #5672. *Dave Thomas*
+
+*   Update documentation for erb trim syntax. #5651 *matt@mattmargolis.net*
+
+*   Pass :id => nil or :class => nil to error_messages_for to supress that html attribute. #3586 *olivier_ansaldi@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Reset @html_document between requests so assert_tag works. #4810 *Jarkko Laine, easleydp@gmail.com*
+
+*   Update render :partial documentation. #5646 *matt@mattmargolis.net*
+
+*   Integration tests behave well with render_component. #4632 *edward.frederick@revolution.com, dev.rubyonrails@maxdunn.com*
+
+*   Added exception handling of missing layouts #5373 *chris@ozmm.org*
+
+*   Fixed that real files and symlinks should be treated the same when compiling templates #5438 *zachary@panandscan.com*
+
+*   Fixed that the flash should be reset when reset_session is called #5584 *Shugo Maeda*
+
+*   Added special case for "1 Byte" in NumberHelper#number_to_human_size #5593 *murpyh@rubychan.de*
+
+*   Fixed proper form-encoded parameter parsing for requests with "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8" (note the presence of a charset directive) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add route_name_path method to generate only the path for a named routes. For example, map.person will add person_path. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Avoid naming collision among compiled view methods. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fix CGI extensions when they expect string but get nil in Windows. Closes #5276 *Mislav Marohnić*
+
+*   Determine the correct template_root for deeply nested components.  #2841 *s.brink@web.de*
+
+*   Fix that routes with *path segments in the recall can generate URLs. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix strip_links so that it doesn't hang on multiline <acronym> tags *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Remove problematic control chars in rescue template. #5316 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Make sure passed routing options are not mutated by routing code. #5314 *Blair Zajac*
+
+*   Make sure changing the controller from foo/bar to bing/bang does not change relative to foo. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Escape the path before routing recognition. #3671
+
+*   Make sure :id and friends are unescaped properly. #5275 *me@julik.nl*
+
+*   Fix documentation for with_routing to reflect new reality. #5281 *rramdas@gmail.com*
+
+*   Rewind readable CGI params so others may reread them (such as CGI::Session when passing the session id in a multipart form).  #210 *mklame@atxeu.com, matthew@walker.wattle.id.au*
+
+*   Added Mime::TEXT (text/plain) and Mime::ICS (text/calendar) as new default types *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added Mime::Type.register(string, symbol, synonyms = []) for adding new custom mime types *DHH*. Example: Mime::Type.register("image/gif", :gif)
+
+*   Added support for Mime objects in render :content_type option *DHH*. Example: render :text => some_atom, :content_type => Mime::ATOM
+
+*   Add :status option to send_data and send_file. Defaults to '200 OK'.  #5243 *Manfred Stienstra <m.stienstra@fngtps.com>*
+
+*   Routing rewrite. Simpler, faster, easier to understand. The published API for config/routes.rb is unchanged, but nearly everything else is different, so expect breakage in plugins and libs that try to fiddle with routes. *Nicholas Seckar, Jamis Buck*
+
+    map.connect '/foo/:id', :controller => '...', :action => '...'
+    map.connect '/foo/:id.:format', :controller => '...', :action => '...'
+    map.connect '/foo/:id', ..., :conditions => { :method => :get }
+
+*   Cope with missing content type and length headers. Parse parameters from multipart and urlencoded request bodies only. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Accept multipart PUT parameters. #5235 *guy.naor@famundo.com*
+
+*   Added interrogation of params[:format] to determine Accept type. If :format is specified and matches a declared extension, like "rss" or "xml", that mime type will be put in front of the accept handler. This means you can link to the same action from different extensions and use that fact to determine output *DHH*. Example:
+
+    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+        def index
+          @posts = Post.find :all
+
+          respond_to do |format|
+            format.html
+            format.xml { render :xml => @posts.to_xml }
+            format.rss { render :action => "feed.rxml" }
+          end
+        end
+    end
+
+    \# returns HTML when requested by a browser, since the browser
+    \# has the HTML mimetype at the top of its priority list
+    Accept: text/html
+    GET /weblog
+
+    \# returns the XML
+    Accept: application/xml
+    GET /weblog
+
+    \# returns the HTML
+    Accept: application/xml
+    GET /weblog.html
+
+    \# returns the XML
+    Accept: text/html
+    GET /weblog.xml
+
+    All this relies on the fact that you have a route that includes .:format.
+
+*   Expanded :method option in FormTagHelper#form_tag, FormHelper#form_for, PrototypeHelper#remote_form_for, PrototypeHelper#remote_form_tag, and PrototypeHelper#link_to_remote to allow for verbs other than GET and POST by automatically creating a hidden form field named _method, which will simulate the other verbs over post *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added :method option to UrlHelper#link_to, which allows for using other verbs than GET for the link. This replaces the :post option, which is now deprecated. Example: link_to "Destroy", person_url(:id => person), :method => :delete *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   follow_redirect doesn't complain about being redirected to the same controller. #5153 *dymo@mk.ukrtelecom.ua*
+
+*   Add layout attribute to response object with the name of the layout that was rendered, or nil if none rendered. *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Fix NoMethodError when parsing params like &&. *Adam Greenfield*
+
+*   Fix flip flopped logic in docs for url_for's :only_path option. Closes #4998. *esad@esse.at*
+
+*   form.text_area handles the :size option just like the original text_area (:size => '60x10' becomes cols="60" rows="10").  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Excise ingrown code from FormOptionsHelper#options_for_select. #5008 *anonymous*
+
+*   Small fix in routing to allow dynamic routes (broken after [4242]) *Rick Olson*
+
+        map.connect '*path', :controller => 'files', :action => 'show'
+
+*   Replace alias method chaining with Module#alias_method_chain. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Replace Ruby's deprecated append_features in favor of included. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Use #flush between switching from #write to #syswrite. Closes #4907. *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   Documentation fix: integration test scripts don't require integration_test. Closes #4914. *Frederick Ros <sl33p3r@free.fr>*
+
+*   ActionController::Base Summary documentation rewrite. Closes #4900. *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Fix text_helper.rb documentation rendering. Closes #4725. *Frederick Ros*
+
+*   Fixes bad rendering of JavaScriptMacrosHelper rdoc (closes #4910) *Frederick Ros*
+
+*   Allow error_messages_for to report errors for multiple objects, as well as support for customizing the name of the object in the error summary header. Closes #4186. *andrew@redlinesoftware.com, Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+    error_messages_for :account, :user, :subscription, :object_name => :account
+
+*   Enhance documentation for setting headers in integration tests. Skip auto HTTP prepending when its already there. Closes #4079. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Documentation for AbstractRequest. Closes #4895. *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Refactor various InstanceTag instance method to class methods. Closes #4800. *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Remove all remaining references to @params in the documentation. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Add documentation for redirect_to :back's RedirectBackError exception.  *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Update layout and content_for documentation to use yield rather than magic @content_for instance variables. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fix assert_redirected_to tests according to real-world usage.  Also, don't fail if you add an extra :controller option: *Rick Olson*
+
+        redirect_to :action => 'new'
+        assert_redirected_to :controller => 'monkeys', :action => 'new'
+
+*   Cache CgiRequest#request_parameters so that multiple calls don't re-parse multipart data. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Diff compared routing options.  Allow #assert_recognizes to take a second arg as a hash to specify optional request method *Rick Olson*
+
+        assert_recognizes({:controller => 'users', :action => 'index'}, 'users')
+        assert_recognizes({:controller => 'users', :action => 'create'}, {:path => 'users', :method => :post})
+
+*   Diff compared options with #assert_redirected_to *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Add support in routes for semicolon delimited "subpaths", like /books/:id;:action *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Change link_to_function and button_to_function to (optionally) take an update_page block instead of a JavaScript string. Closes #4804. *zraii@comcast.net, Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Fixed that remote_form_for can leave out the object parameter and default to the instance variable of the object_name, just like form_for *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Modify routing so that you can say :require => { :method => :post } for a route, and the route will never be selected unless the request method is POST. Only works for route recognition, not for route generation. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added :add_headers option to verify which merges a hash of name/value pairs into the response's headers hash if the prerequisites cannot be satisfied. *Sam Stephenson*
+    ex. verify :only => :speak, :method => :post,
+                 :render => { :status => 405, :text => "Must be post" },
+                 :add_headers => { "Allow" => "POST" }
+
+*   Added ActionController.filter_parameter_logging that makes it easy to remove passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information from being logged when a request is handled #1897 *jeremye@bsa.ca.gov*
+
+
+## 1.13.3 (March 12th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Apply [5709] to stable.
+
+*   session_enabled? works with session :off.  #6680 *Jonathan del Strother*
+
+*   Performance: patch cgi/session to require digest/md5 once rather than per #create_new_id.  *Stefan Kaes*
+
+
+## 1.13.2 (February 5th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Add much-needed html-scanner tests.  Fixed CDATA parsing bug. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   improve error message for Routing for named routes. *Rob Sanheim*
+
+*   Added enhanced docs to routing assertions. *Rob Sanheim*
+
+*   fix form_for example in ActionController::Resources documentation. *gnarg*
+
+*   Add singleton resources from trunk *Rick Olson*
+
+*   select :multiple => true suffixes the attribute name with [] unless already suffixed.  #6977 *nik.kakelin, ben, julik*
+
+*   Improve routes documentation.  #7095 *zackchandler*
+
+*   Resource member routes require :id, eliminating the ambiguous overlap with collection routes.  #7229 *dkubb*
+
+*   Fixed NumberHelper#number_with_delimiter to use "." always for splitting the original number, not the delimiter parameter #7389 *ceefour*
+
+*   Autolinking recognizes trailing and embedded . , : ;  #7354 *Jarkko Laine*
+
+*   Make TextHelper::auto_link recognize URLs with colons in path correctly, fixes #7268.  *imajes*
+
+*   Improved auto_link to match more valid urls correctly *Tobias Lütke*
+
+
+## 1.13.1 (January 18th, 2007) ##

+
+## 1.13.0 (January 16th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Modernize cookie testing code, and increase coverage (Heckle++) #7101 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Heckling ActionController::Resources::Resource revealed that set_prefixes didn't break when :name_prefix was munged. #7081 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Allow exempt_from_layout :rhtml.  #6742, #7026 *Dan Manges, Squeegy*
+
+*   Fix parsing of array[] CGI parameters so extra empty values aren't included.  #6252 *Nicholas Seckar, aiwilliams, brentrowland*
+
+*   link_to_unless_current works with full URLs as well as paths.  #6891 *Jarkko Laine, Manfred Stienstra, idrifter*
+

+
+*   Fix no method error with error_messages_on.  Closes #6935 *nik.wakelin Koz*
+
+*   Slight doc tweak to the ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper#replace docs.  Closes #6922 *Steven Bristol*

+*   [DOCS] fix reference to ActionController::Macros::AutoComplete for #text_field_with_auto_complete. Closes #2578 *Jan Prill*
+
+*   Make sure html_document is reset between integration test requests. *ctm*
+
+*   Set session to an empty hash if :new_session => false and no session cookie or param is present. CGI::Session was raising an unrescued ArgumentError.  *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Fix assert_redirected_to bug where redirecting from a nested to to a top-level controller incorrectly added the current controller's nesting.  Closes #6128.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Ensure render :json => ... skips the layout.  #6808 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Silence log_error deprecation warnings from inspecting deprecated instance variables.  *Nate Wiger*
+
+*   Only cache GET requests with a 200 OK response.  #6514, #6743 *RSL, anamba*
+
+*   Correctly report which filter halted the chain.  #6699 *Martin Emde*
+
+*   respond_to recognizes JSON. render :json => @person.to_json automatically sets the content type and takes a :callback option to specify a client-side function to call using the rendered JSON as an argument.  #4185 *Scott Raymond, eventualbuddha*
+        # application/json response with body 'Element.show({:name: "David"})'
+        respond_to do |format|
+          format.json { render :json => { :name => "David" }.to_json, :callback => 'Element.show' }
+        end
+
+*   Makes :discard_year work without breaking multi-attribute parsing in AR.  #1260, #3800 *sean@ardismg.com, jmartin@desertflood.com, stephen@touset.org, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Adds html id attribute to date helper elements.  #1050, #1382 *mortonda@dgrmm.net, David North, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Add :index and @auto_index capability to model driven date/time selects.  #847, #2655 *moriq, Doug Fales, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Add :order to datetime_select, select_datetime, and select_date.  #1427 *Timothee Peignier, Patrick Lenz, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Added time_select to work with time values in models. Update scaffolding.  #2489, #2833 *Justin Palmer, Andre Caum, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Added :include_seconds to select_datetime, datetime_select and time_select.  #2998 *csn, Bob Silva*
+
+*   All date/datetime selects can now accept an array of month names with :use_month_names. Allows for localization.  #363 *tomasj, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Adds :time_separator to select_time and :date_separator to select_datetime. Preserves BC.  #3811 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   @response.redirect_url works with 201 Created responses: just return headers['Location'] rather than checking the response status.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed that HEAD should return the proper Content-Length header (that is, actually use @body.size, not just 0) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added GET-masquarading for HEAD, so request.method will return :get even for HEADs. This will help anyone relying on case request.method to automatically work with HEAD and map.resources will also allow HEADs to all GET actions. Rails automatically throws away the response content in a reply to HEAD, so you don't even need to worry about that. If you, for whatever reason, still need to distinguish between GET and HEAD in some edge case, you can use Request#head? and even Request.headers["REQUEST_METHOD"] for get the "real" answer. Closes #6694 *David Heinemeier Hansson*

+*   Update Routing to complain when :controller is not specified by a route. Closes #6669. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Ensure render_to_string cleans up after itself when an exception is raised.  #6658 *rsanheim*
+
+*   Update to Prototype and script.aculo.us [5579]. *Sam Stephenson, Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   simple_format helper doesn't choke on nil.  #6644 *jerry426*
+
+*   Reuse named route helper module between Routing reloads. Use remove_method to delete named route methods after each load. Since the module is never collected, this fixes a significant memory leak. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Deprecate standalone components.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Always clear model associations from session.  #4795 *sd@notso.net, andylien@gmail.com*
+
+*   Remove JavaScriptLiteral in favor of ActiveSupport::JSON::Variable. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Sync ActionController::StatusCodes::STATUS_CODES with http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes.  #6586 *dkubb*
+
+*   Multipart form values may have a content type without being treated as uploaded files if they do not provide a filename.  #6401 *Andreas Schwarz, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   assert_response supports symbolic status codes.  #6569 *Kevin Clark*
+        assert_response :ok
+        assert_response :not_found
+        assert_response :forbidden
+
+*   Cache parsed query parameters.  #6559 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Deprecate JavaScriptHelper#update_element_function, which is superseeded by RJS *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Fix invalid test fixture exposed by stricter Ruby 1.8.5 multipart parsing.  #6524 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Set ActionView::Base.default_form_builder once rather than passing the :builder option to every form or overriding the form helper methods.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Deprecate expire_matched_fragments. Use expire_fragment instead.  #6535 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Deprecate start_form_tag and end_form_tag.  Use form_tag / '</form>' from now on.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added block-usage to PrototypeHelper#form_remote_tag, document block-usage of FormTagHelper#form_tag *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Add a 0 margin/padding div around the hidden _method input tag that form_tag outputs.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added block-usage to TagHelper#content_tag *DHH*. Example:
+
+     <% content_tag :div, :class => "strong" %>
+         Hello world!
+     <% end %>
+
+    Will output:
+        <div class="strong">Hello world!</div>
+
+*   Deprecated UrlHelper#link_to_image and UrlHelper#link_to :post => true #6409 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Upgraded NumberHelper with number_to_phone support international formats to comply with ITU E.123 by supporting area codes with less than 3 digits, added precision argument to number_to_human_size (defaults to 1) #6421 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Fixed that setting RAILS_ASSET_ID to "" should not add a trailing slash after assets #6454 *Bob Silva/chrismear*
+
+*   Force *_url named routes to show the host in ActionView *Rick Olson*
+
+    <%= url_for ... %> # no host
+    <%= foo_path %>    # no host
+    <%= foo_url %>     # host!
+
+*   Add support for converting blocks into function arguments to JavaScriptGenerator#call and JavaScriptProxy#call. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Add JavaScriptGenerator#literal for wrapping a string in an object whose #to_json is the string itself. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Add <%= escape_once html %> to escape html while leaving any currently escaped entities alone.  Fix button_to double-escaping issue. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix double-escaped entities, such as &amp;amp;, &amp;#123;, etc. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix routing to correctly determine when generation fails. Closes #6300. *psross*.
+
+*   Fix broken assert_generates when extra keys are being checked. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Replace KCODE checks with String#chars for truncate.  Closes #6385 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Make page caching respect the format of the resource that is being requested even if the current route is the default route so that, e.g. posts.rss is not transformed by url_for to '/' and subsequently cached as '/index.html' when it should be cached as '/posts.rss'.  *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Use String#chars in TextHelper::excerpt. Closes #6386 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Fix relative URL root matching problems. *Mark Imbriaco*
+
+*   Fix filter skipping in controller subclasses.  #5949, #6297, #6299 *Martin Emde*
+
+*   render_text may optionally append to the response body. render_javascript appends by default. This allows you to chain multiple render :update calls by setting @performed_render = false between them (awaiting a better public API).  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Rename test assertion to prevent shadowing. Closes #6306. *psross*
+
+*   Fixed that NumberHelper#number_to_delimiter should respect precision of higher than two digits #6231 *Philip Hallstrom*
+
+*   Fixed that FormHelper#radio_button didn't respect an :id being passed in #6266 *evansj*
+
+*   Added an html_options hash parameter to javascript_tag() and update_page_tag() helpers #6311 *tzaharia*. Example:
+
+        update_page_tag :defer => 'true' { |page| ... }
+
+    Gives:
+
+        <script defer="true" type="text/javascript">...</script>
+
+    Which is needed for dealing with the IE6 DOM when it's not yet fully loaded.
+
+*   Fixed that rescue template path shouldn't be hardcoded, then it's easier to hook in your own #6295 *Mike Naberezny*
+
+*   Fixed escaping of backslashes in JavaScriptHelper#escape_javascript #6302 *sven@c3d2.de*
+
+*   Fixed that some 500 rescues would cause 500's themselves because the response had not yet been generated #6329 *cmselmer*
+
+*   respond_to :html doesn't assume .rhtml.  #6281 *Hampton Catlin*
+
+*   Fixed some deprecation warnings in ActionPack *Rick Olson*
+
+*   assert_select_rjs decodes escaped unicode chars since the Javascript generators encode them.  #6240 *japgolly*
+
+*   Deprecation: @cookies, @headers, @request, @response will be removed after 1.2. Use the corresponding method instead.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Make the :status parameter expand to the default message for that status code if it is an integer. Also support symbol statuses. *Jamis Buck*. Examples:
+
+        head :status => 404        # expands to "404 Not Found"
+        head :status => :not_found # expands to "404 Not Found"
+        head :status => :created   # expands to "201 Created"
+
+*   Add head(options = {}) for responses that have no body. *Jamis Buck*. Examples:
+
+        head :status => 404 # return an empty response with a 404 status
+        head :location => person_path(@person), :status => 201
+
+*   Fix bug that kept any before_filter except the first one from being able to halt the before_filter chain.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   strip_links is case-insensitive.  #6285 *tagoh, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Clear the cache of possible controllers whenever Routes are reloaded. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Filters overhaul including meantime filter support using around filters + blocks.  #5949 *Martin Emde, Roman Le Negrate, Stefan Kaes, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Update CGI process to allow sessions to contain namespaced models. Closes #4638. *dfelstead@site5.com*
+
+*   Fix routing to respect user provided requirements and defaults when assigning default routing options (such as :action => 'index'). Closes #5950. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Rescue Errno::ECONNRESET to handle an unexpectedly closed socket connection. Improves SCGI reliability.  #3368, #6226 *sdsykes, fhanshaw@vesaria.com*
+
+*   Added that respond_to blocks will automatically set the content type to be the same as is requested *DHH*. Examples:
+
+        respond_to do |format|
+          format.html { render :text => "I'm being sent as text/html" }
+          format.rss  { render :text => "I'm being sent as application/rss+xml" }
+          format.atom { render :text => "I'm being sent as application/xml", :content_type => Mime::XML }
+        end
+
+*   Added utf-8 as the default charset for all renders. You can change this default using ActionController::Base.default_charset=(encoding) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added proper getters and setters for content type and charset *DHH*. Example of what we used to do:
+
+        response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/atom+xml; charset=utf-8"
+
+    ...now:
+
+        response.content_type = Mime::ATOM
+        response.charset      = "utf-8"
+
+*   Declare file extensions exempt from layouts.  #6219 *brandon*
+        Example: ActionController::Base.exempt_from_layout 'rpdf'
+
+*   Add chained replace/update support for assert_select_rjs *Rick Olson*
+
+        Given RJS like...
+
+          page['test1'].replace "<div id=\"1\">foo</div>"
+          page['test2'].replace_html "<div id=\"2\">foo</div>"
+
+        Test it with...
+
+          assert_select_rjs :chained_replace
+          assert_select_rjs :chained_replace, "test1"
+
+          assert_select_rjs :chained_replace_html
+          assert_select_rjs :chained_replace_html, "test2"
+
+*   Load helpers in alphabetical order for consistency. Resolve cyclic javascript_helper dependency.  #6132, #6178 *choonkeat@gmail.com*
+
+*   Skip params with empty names, such as the &=Save query string from <input type="submit"/>.  #2569 *Manfred Stienstra, raphinou@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Fix assert_tag so that :content => "foo" does not match substrings, but only exact strings. Use :content => /foo/ to match substrings. #2799 *Eric Hodel*
+
+*   Update JavaScriptGenerator#show/hide/toggle/remove to new Prototype syntax for multiple ids,  #6068 *petermichaux@gmail.com*
+
+*   Update UrlWriter to support :only_path. *Nicholas Seckar, Dave Thomas*
+
+*   Fixed JavaScriptHelper#link_to_function and JavaScriptHelper#button_to_function to have the script argument be optional *DHH*. So what used to require a nil, like this:
+
+        link_to("Hider", nil, :class => "hider_link") { |p| p[:something].hide }
+
+    ...can be written like this:
+
+        link_to("Hider", :class => "hider_link") { |p| p[:something].hide }
+
+*   Added access to nested attributes in RJS #4548 *richcollins@gmail.com*. Examples:
+
+        page['foo']['style']                  # => $('foo').style;
+        page['foo']['style']['color']         # => $('blank_slate').style.color;
+        page['foo']['style']['color'] = 'red' # => $('blank_slate').style.color = 'red';
+        page['foo']['style'].color = 'red'    # => $('blank_slate').style.color = 'red';
+
+*   Fixed that AssetTagHelper#image_tag and others using compute_public_path should not modify the incoming source argument (closes #5102) *eule@space.ch*
+
+*   Deprecated the auto-appending of .png to AssetTagHelper#image_tag calls that doesn't have an extension *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed FormOptionsHelper#select to respect :selected value #5813
+
+*   Fixed TextHelper#simple_format to deal with multiple single returns within a single paragraph #5835 *moriq@moriq.com*
+
+*   Fixed TextHelper#pluralize to handle 1 as a string #5909 *rails@bencurtis.com*
+
+*   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)" *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added deprecation language for pagination which will become a plugin by Rails 2.0 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added deprecation language for in_place_editor and auto_complete_field that both pieces will become plugins by Rails 2.0 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Deprecated all of ActionController::Dependencies. All dependency loading is now handled from Active Support *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added assert_select* for CSS selector-based testing (deprecates assert_tag) #5936 *assaf.arkin@gmail.com*
+
+*   radio_button_tag generates unique id attributes.  #3353 *Bob Silva, somekool@gmail.com*
+
+*   strip_tags passes through blank args such as nil or "".  #2229, #6702 *duncan@whomwah.com, dharana*
+
+*   Cleanup assert_tag :children counting.  #2181 *jamie@bravenet.com*
+
+*   button_to accepts :method so you can PUT and DELETE with it.  #6005 *Dan Webb*
+
+*   Update sanitize text helper to strip plaintext tags, and <img src="javascript:bang">.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Add routing tests to assert that RoutingError is raised when conditions aren't met.  Closes #6016 *Nathan Witmer*
+
+*   Make auto_link parse a greater subset of valid url formats. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Integration tests: headers beginning with X aren't excluded from the HTTP_ prefix, so X-Requested-With becomes HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH as expected. *Mike Clark*
+
+*   Switch to using FormEncodedPairParser for parsing request parameters. *Nicholas Seckar, David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   respond_to .html now always renders #{action_name}.rhtml so that registered custom template handlers do not override it in priority. Custom mime types require a block and throw proper error now. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Deprecation: test deprecated instance vars in partials. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add UrlWriter to allow writing urls from Mailers and scripts. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Relax Routing's anchor pattern warning; it was preventing use of [^/] inside restrictions. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add controller_paths variable to Routing. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix assert_redirected_to issue with named routes for module controllers.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Tweak RoutingError message to show option diffs, not just missing named route significant keys. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Invoke method_missing directly on hidden actions. Closes #3030. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add RoutingError exception when RouteSet fails to generate a path from a Named Route. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Replace Reloadable with Reloadable::Deprecated. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Deprecation: check whether instance variables have been monkeyed with before assigning them to deprecation proxies. Raises a RuntimeError if so. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add support for the param_name parameter to the auto_complete_field helper. #5026 *david.a.williams@gmail.com*
+
+*   Deprecation! @params, @session, @flash will be removed after 1.2. Use the corresponding instance methods instead. You'll get printed warnings during tests and logged warnings in dev mode when you access either instance variable directly. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Make Routing noisy when an anchor regexp is assigned to a segment. #5674 *François Beausoleil*
+
+*   Added months and years to the resolution of DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words, such that "60 days ago" becomes "2 months ago" #5611 *pjhyett@gmail.com*
+
+*   Make controller_path available as an instance method.  #5724 *jmckible@gmail.com*
+
+*   Update query parser to support adjacent hashes. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Make action caching aware of different formats for the same action so that, e.g.  foo.xml is cached separately from foo.html. Implicitly set content type when reading in cached content with mime revealing extensions so the entire onous isn't on the webserver. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Restrict Request Method hacking with ?_method to POST requests.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed the new_#{resource}_url route and added named route tests for Simply Restful.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added map.resources from the Simply Restful plugin *DHH*. Examples (the API has changed to use plurals!):
+
+        map.resources :messages
+        map.resources :messages, :comments
+        map.resources :messages, :new => { :preview => :post }
+
+*   Fixed that integration simulation of XHRs should set Accept header as well *Edward Frederick*
+
+*   TestRequest#reset_session should restore a TestSession, not a hash *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Don't search a load-path of '.' for controller files *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Update integration.rb to require test_process explicitly instead of via Dependencies. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed that you can still access the flash after the flash has been reset in reset_session.  Closes #5584 *lmarlow*
+
+*   Allow form_for and fields_for to work with indexed form inputs.  *Jeremy Kemper, Matt Lyon*
+
+    <% form_for 'post[]', @post do |f| -%>
+    <% end -%>
+
+*   Remove leak in development mode by replacing define_method with module_eval. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Provide support for decimal columns to form helpers. Closes #5672. *Dave Thomas*
+
+*   Pass :id => nil or :class => nil to error_messages_for to supress that html attribute. #3586 *olivier_ansaldi@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Reset @html_document between requests so assert_tag works. #4810 *Jarkko Laine, easleydp@gmail.com*
+
+*   Integration tests behave well with render_component. #4632 *edward.frederick@revolution.com, dev.rubyonrails@maxdunn.com*
+
+*   Added exception handling of missing layouts #5373 *chris@ozmm.org*
+
+*   Fixed that real files and symlinks should be treated the same when compiling templates #5438 *zachary@panandscan.com*
+
+*   Fixed that the flash should be reset when reset_session is called #5584 *Shugo Maeda*
+
+*   Added special case for "1 Byte" in NumberHelper#number_to_human_size #5593 *murpyh@rubychan.de*
+
+*   Fixed proper form-encoded parameter parsing for requests with "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8" (note the presence of a charset directive) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add route_name_path method to generate only the path for a named routes. For example, map.person will add person_path. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Avoid naming collision among compiled view methods. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fix CGI extensions when they expect string but get nil in Windows. Closes #5276 *Mislav Marohnić*
+
+*   Determine the correct template_root for deeply nested components.  #2841 *s.brink@web.de*
+
+*   Fix that routes with *path segments in the recall can generate URLs. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix strip_links so that it doesn't hang on multiline <acronym> tags *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Remove problematic control chars in rescue template. #5316 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Make sure passed routing options are not mutated by routing code. #5314 *Blair Zajac*
+
+*   Make sure changing the controller from foo/bar to bing/bang does not change relative to foo. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Escape the path before routing recognition. #3671
+
+*   Make sure :id and friends are unescaped properly. #5275 *me@julik.nl*
+
+*   Rewind readable CGI params so others may reread them (such as CGI::Session when passing the session id in a multipart form).  #210 *mklame@atxeu.com, matthew@walker.wattle.id.au*
+
+*   Added Mime::TEXT (text/plain) and Mime::ICS (text/calendar) as new default types *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added Mime::Type.register(string, symbol, synonyms = []) for adding new custom mime types *DHH*. Example: Mime::Type.register("image/gif", :gif)
+
+*   Added support for Mime objects in render :content_type option *DHH*. Example: render :text => some_atom, :content_type => Mime::ATOM
+
+*   Add :status option to send_data and send_file. Defaults to '200 OK'.  #5243 *Manfred Stienstra <m.stienstra@fngtps.com>*
+
+*   Routing rewrite. Simpler, faster, easier to understand. The published API for config/routes.rb is unchanged, but nearly everything else is different, so expect breakage in plugins and libs that try to fiddle with routes. *Nicholas Seckar, Jamis Buck*
+
+    map.connect '/foo/:id', :controller => '...', :action => '...'
+    map.connect '/foo/:id.:format', :controller => '...', :action => '...'
+    map.connect '/foo/:id', ..., :conditions => { :method => :get }
+
+*   Cope with missing content type and length headers. Parse parameters from multipart and urlencoded request bodies only. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Accept multipart PUT parameters. #5235 *guy.naor@famundo.com*
+
+*   Added interrogation of params[:format] to determine Accept type. If :format is specified and matches a declared extension, like "rss" or "xml", that mime type will be put in front of the accept handler. This means you can link to the same action from different extensions and use that fact to determine output *DHH*. Example:
+
+    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+        def index
+          @posts = Post.find :all
+
+          respond_to do |format|
+            format.html
+            format.xml { render :xml => @posts.to_xml }
+            format.rss { render :action => "feed.rxml" }
+          end
+        end
+    end
+
+    \# returns HTML when requested by a browser, since the browser
+    \# has the HTML mimetype at the top of its priority list
+    Accept: text/html
+    GET /weblog
+
+    \# returns the XML
+    Accept: application/xml
+    GET /weblog
+
+    \# returns the HTML
+    Accept: application/xml
+    GET /weblog.html
+
+    \# returns the XML
+    Accept: text/html
+    GET /weblog.xml
+
+    All this relies on the fact that you have a route that includes .:format.
+
+*   Expanded :method option in FormTagHelper#form_tag, FormHelper#form_for, PrototypeHelper#remote_form_for, PrototypeHelper#remote_form_tag, and PrototypeHelper#link_to_remote to allow for verbs other than GET and POST by automatically creating a hidden form field named _method, which will simulate the other verbs over post *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added :method option to UrlHelper#link_to, which allows for using other verbs than GET for the link. This replaces the :post option, which is now deprecated. Example: link_to "Destroy", person_url(:id => person), :method => :delete *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   follow_redirect doesn't complain about being redirected to the same controller. #5153 *dymo@mk.ukrtelecom.ua*
+
+*   Add layout attribute to response object with the name of the layout that was rendered, or nil if none rendered. *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Fix NoMethodError when parsing params like &&. *Adam Greenfield*
+
+*   form.text_area handles the :size option just like the original text_area (:size => '60x10' becomes cols="60" rows="10").  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Excise ingrown code from FormOptionsHelper#options_for_select. #5008 *anonymous*
+
+*   Small fix in routing to allow dynamic routes (broken after [4242]) *Rick Olson*
+
+        map.connect '*path', :controller => 'files', :action => 'show'
+
+*   Use #flush between switching from #write to #syswrite. Closes #4907. *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   Allow error_messages_for to report errors for multiple objects, as well as support for customizing the name of the object in the error summary header. Closes #4186. *andrew@redlinesoftware.com, Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+    error_messages_for :account, :user, :subscription, :object_name => :account
+
+*   Fix assert_redirected_to tests according to real-world usage.  Also, don't fail if you add an extra :controller option: *Rick Olson*
+
+        redirect_to :action => 'new'
+        assert_redirected_to :controller => 'monkeys', :action => 'new'
+
+*   Diff compared routing options.  Allow #assert_recognizes to take a second arg as a hash to specify optional request method *Rick Olson*
+
+        assert_recognizes({:controller => 'users', :action => 'index'}, 'users')
+        assert_recognizes({:controller => 'users', :action => 'create'}, {:path => 'users', :method => :post})
+
+*   Diff compared options with #assert_redirected_to *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Add support in routes for semicolon delimited "subpaths", like /books/:id;:action *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Change link_to_function and button_to_function to (optionally) take an update_page block instead of a JavaScript string. Closes #4804. *zraii@comcast.net, Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Modify routing so that you can say :require => { :method => :post } for a route, and the route will never be selected unless the request method is POST. Only works for route recognition, not for route generation. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added :add_headers option to verify which merges a hash of name/value pairs into the response's headers hash if the prerequisites cannot be satisfied. *Sam Stephenson*
+    ex. verify :only => :speak, :method => :post,
+                 :render => { :status => 405, :text => "Must be post" },
+                 :add_headers => { "Allow" => "POST" }
+
+
+## 1.12.5 (August 10th, 2006) ##
+
+*   Updated security fix
+
+
+## 1.12.4 (August 8th, 2006) ##
+
+*   Cache CgiRequest#request_parameters so that multiple calls don't re-parse multipart data. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed that remote_form_for can leave out the object parameter and default to the instance variable of the object_name, just like form_for *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added ActionController.filter_parameter_logging that makes it easy to remove passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information from being logged when a request is handled.  #1897 *jeremye@bsa.ca.gov*
+
+*   Fixed that real files and symlinks should be treated the same when compiling templates.  #5438 *zachary@panandscan.com*
+
+*   Add :status option to send_data and send_file. Defaults to '200 OK'.  #5243 *Manfred Stienstra <m.stienstra@fngtps.com>*
+
+*   Update documentation for erb trim syntax. #5651 *matt@mattmargolis.net*
+
+*   Short documentation to mention use of Mime::Type.register. #5710 *choonkeat@gmail.com*
+
+
+## 1.12.3 (June 28th, 2006) ##
+
+*   Fix broken traverse_to_controller. We now:
+    Look for a _controller.rb file under RAILS_ROOT to load.
+    If we find it, we require_dependency it and return the controller it defined. (If none was defined we stop looking.)
+    If we don't find it, we look for a .rb file under RAILS_ROOT to load. If we find it, and it loads a constant we keep looking.
+    Otherwise we check to see if a directory of the same name exists, and if it does we create a module for it.
+
+
+## 1.12.2 (June 27th, 2006) ##
+
+*   Refinement to avoid exceptions in traverse_to_controller.
+
+*   (Hackish) Fix loading of arbitrary files in Ruby's load path by traverse_to_controller. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+
+## 1.12.1 (April 6th, 2006) ##
+
+*   Fixed that template extensions would be cached development mode #4624 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc0 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Honor skipping filters conditionally for only certain actions even when the parent class sets that filter to conditionally be executed only for the same actions. #4522 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Delegate xml_http_request in integration tests to the session instance. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Update the diagnostics template skip the useless '<controller not set>' text. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   CHANGED DEFAULT: Don't parse YAML input by default, but keep it available as an easy option *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add additional autocompleter options *aballai, Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Fixed fragment caching of binary data on Windows #4493 *bellis@deepthought.org*
+
+*   Applied Prototype $() performance patches (#4465, #4477) and updated script.aculo.us *Sam Stephenson, Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Added automated timestamping to AssetTagHelper methods for stylesheets, javascripts, and images when Action Controller is run under Rails *DHH*. Example:
+
+        image_tag("rails.png") # => '<img alt="Rails" src="/images/rails.png?1143664135" />'
+
+    ...to avoid frequent stats (not a problem for most people), you can set RAILS_ASSET_ID in the ENV to avoid stats:
+
+        ENV["RAILS_ASSET_ID"] = "2345"
+        image_tag("rails.png") # => '<img alt="Rails" src="/images/rails.png?2345" />'
+
+    This can be used by deployment managers to set the asset id by application revision
+
+
+## 1.12.0 (March 27th, 2006) ##
+
+*   Add documentation for respond_to. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fixed require of bluecloth and redcloth when gems haven't been loaded #4446 *murphy@cYcnus.de*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0_pre1 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Change #form_for and #fields_for so that the second argument is not required *Dave Thomas*
+
+        <% form_for :post, @post, :url => { :action => 'create' } do |f| -%>
+
+    becomes...
+
+        <% form_for :post, :url => { :action => 'create' } do |f| -%>
+
+*   Update to script.aculo.us 1.6 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Enable application/x-yaml processing by default *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fix double url escaping of remote_function. Add :escape => false option to ActionView's url_for. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add :script option to in_place_editor to support evalScripts (closes #4194) *Cody Fauser*
+
+*   Fix mixed case enumerable methods in the JavaScript Collection Proxy (closes #4314) *Cody Fauser*
+
+*   Undo accidental escaping for mail_to; add regression test. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added nicer message for assert_redirected_to (closes #4294) *court3nay*
+
+        assert_redirected_to :action => 'other_host', :only_path => false
+
+    when it was expecting...
+
+        redirected_to :action => 'other_host', :only_path => true, :host => 'other.test.host'
+
+    gives the error message...
+
+        response is not a redirection to all of the options supplied (redirection is <{:only_path=>false, :host=>"other.test.host", :action=>"other_host"}>), difference: <{:only_path=>"true", :host=>"other.test.host"}>
+
+*   Change url_for to escape the resulting URLs when called from a view. *Nicholas Seckar, coffee2code*
+
+*   Added easy support for testing file uploads with fixture_file_upload #4105 *turnip@turnipspatch.com*. Example:
+
+        # Looks in Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path + '/files/spongebob.png'
+        post :change_avatar, :avatar => fixture_file_upload('/files/spongebob.png', 'image/png')
+
+*   Fixed UrlHelper#current_page? to behave even when url-escaped entities are present #3929 *jeremy@planetargon.com*
+
+*   Add ability for relative_url_root to be specified via an environment variable RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT. *isaac@reuben.com, Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed link_to "somewhere", :post => true to produce valid XHTML by using the parentnode instead of document.body for the instant form #3007 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Added :function option to PrototypeHelper#observe_field/observe_form that allows you to call a function instead of submitting an ajax call as the trigger #4268 *jonathan@daikini.com*
+
+*   Make Mime::Type.parse consider q values (if any) *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   XML-formatted requests are typecast according to "type" attributes for :xml_simple *Jamis Buck*

+*   Added TestRequest#raw_post that simulate raw_post from CgiRequest #3042 *François Beausoleil*
+
+*   Underscore dasherized keys in formatted requests *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Add MimeResponds::Responder#any for managing multiple types with identical responses *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Make the xml_http_request testing method set the HTTP_ACCEPT header *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Add Verification to scaffolds.   Prevent destructive actions using GET *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Avoid hitting the filesystem when using layouts by using a File.directory? cache. *Stefan Kaes, Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Simplify ActionController::Base#controller_path *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added simple alert() notifications for RJS exceptions when config.action_view.debug_rjs = true. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Added :content_type option to render, so you can change the content type on the fly *DHH*. Example: render :action => "atom.rxml", :content_type => "application/atom+xml"
+
+*   CHANGED DEFAULT: The default content type for .rxml is now application/xml instead of type/xml, see http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/21/dive.html for reason *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added option to render action/template/file of a specific extension (and here by template type). This means you can have multiple templates with the same name but a different extension *DHH*. Example:
+
+        class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+          def index
+            @posts = Post.find :all
+
+            respond_to do |type|
+              type.html # using defaults, which will render weblog/index.rhtml
+              type.xml  { render :action => "index.rxml" }
+              type.js   { render :action => "index.rjs" }
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Added better support for using the same actions to output for different sources depending on the Accept header *DHH*. Example:
+
+        class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+          def create
+            @post = Post.create(params[:post])
+
+            respond_to do |type|
+              type.js   { render }  # renders create.rjs
+              type.html { redirect_to :action => "index" }
+              type.xml  do
+                headers["Location"] = url_for(:action => "show", :id => @post)
+                render(:nothing, :status => "201 Created")
+              end
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Added Base#render(:xml => xml) that works just like Base#render(:text => text), but sets the content-type to text/xml and the charset to UTF-8 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Integration test's url_for now runs in the context of the last request (if any) so after post /products/show/1 url_for :action => 'new' will yield /product/new  *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Re-added mixed-in helper methods for the JavascriptGenerator.  Moved JavascriptGenerators methods to a module that is mixed in after the helpers are added.  Also fixed that variables set in the enumeration methods like #collect are set correctly.  Documentation added for the enumeration methods *Rick Olson*.  Examples:
+
+        page.select('#items li').collect('items') do |element|
+          element.hide
+        end
+        # => var items = $$('#items li').collect(function(value, index) { return value.hide(); });
+
+*   Added plugin support for parameter parsers, which allows for better support for REST web services. By default, posts submitted with the application/xml content type is handled by creating a XmlSimple hash with the same name as the root element of the submitted xml. More handlers can easily be registered like this:
+
+        # Assign a new param parser to a new content type
+        ActionController::Base.param_parsers['application/atom+xml'] = Proc.new do |data|
+          node = REXML::Document.new(post)
+         { node.root.name => node.root }
+        end
+
+        # Assign the default XmlSimple to a new content type
+        ActionController::Base.param_parsers['application/backpack+xml'] = :xml_simple
+
+    Default YAML web services were retired, ActionController::Base.param_parsers carries an example which shows how to get this functionality back. As part of this new plugin support, request.[formatted_post?, xml_post?, yaml_post? and post_format] were all deprecated in favor of request.content_type *Tobias Lütke*
+*   Fixed Effect.Appear in effects.js to work with floats in Safari #3524, #3813, #3044 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Fixed that default image extension was not appended when using a full URL with AssetTagHelper#image_tag #4032, #3728 *rubyonrails@beautifulpixel.com*
+
+*   Added that page caching will only happen if the response code is less than 400 #4033 *g.bucher@teti.ch*
+
+*   Add ActionController::IntegrationTest to allow high-level testing of the way the controllers and routes all work together *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added support to AssetTagHelper#javascript_include_tag for having :defaults appear anywhere in the list, so you can now make one call ala javascript_include_tag(:defaults, "my_scripts") or javascript_include_tag("my_scripts", :defaults) depending on how you want the load order #3506 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Added support for visual effects scoped queues to the visual_effect helper #3530 *Abdur-Rahman Advany*
+
+*   Added .rxml (and any non-rhtml template, really) supportfor CaptureHelper#content_for and CaptureHelper#capture #3287 *Brian Takita*
+
+*   Added script.aculo.us drag and drop helpers to RJS *Thomas Fuchs*. Examples:
+
+        page.draggable 'product-1'
+        page.drop_receiving 'wastebasket', :url => { :action => 'delete' }
+        page.sortable 'todolist', :url => { action => 'change_order' }
+
+*   Fixed that form elements would strip the trailing [] from the first parameter #3545 *ruby@bobsilva.com*
+
+*   During controller resolution, update the NameError suppression to check for the expected constant. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Update script.aculo.us to V1.5.3 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Added various InPlaceEditor options, #3746, #3891, #3896, #3906 *Bill Burcham, ruairi, sl33p3r*
+
+*   Added :count option to pagination that'll make it possible for the ActiveRecord::Base.count call to using something else than * for the count. Especially important for count queries using DISTINCT #3839 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Update script.aculo.us to V1.5.2 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Added element and collection proxies to RJS *DHH*. Examples:
+
+        page['blank_slate']                  # => $('blank_slate');
+        page['blank_slate'].show             # => $('blank_slate').show();
+        page['blank_slate'].show('first').up # => $('blank_slate').show('first').up();
+
+        page.select('p')                      # => $$('p');
+        page.select('p.welcome b').first      # => $$('p.welcome b').first();
+        page.select('p.welcome b').first.hide # => $$('p.welcome b').first().hide();
+

+
+*   Fix remote_form_for creates a non-ajax form. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Don't let arbitrary classes match as controllers -- a potentially dangerous bug. *Nicholas Seckar*

+*   Fix Routing tests. Fix routing where failing to match a controller would prevent the rest of routes from being attempted. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add :builder => option to form_for and friends. *Nicholas Seckar, Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix controller resolution to avoid accidentally inheriting a controller from a parent module. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Set sweeper's @controller to nil after a request so that the controller may be collected between requests. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Subclasses of ActionController::Caching::Sweeper should be Reloadable. *Rick Olson*

+
+*   Added :only and :except controls to skip_before/after_filter just like for when you add filters *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Ensure that the instance variables are copied to the template when performing render :update. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add the ability to call JavaScriptGenerator methods from helpers called in update blocks. *Sam Stephenson*  Example:
+    module ApplicationHelper
+        def update_time
+          page.replace_html 'time', Time.now.to_s(:db)
+          page.visual_effect :highlight, 'time'
+        end
+    end
+
+    class UserController < ApplicationController

+
+*   Use Element.update('id', 'html') instead of $('id').innerHTML = 'html' in JavaScriptGenerator#replace_html so that script tags are evaluated. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Make rjs templates always implicitly skip out on layouts. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Correct length for the truncate text helper.  #2913 *Stefan Kaes*

+
+*   MemCache store may be given multiple addresses.  #2869 *Ryan Carver <ryan@fivesevensix.com>*
+
+*   Handle cookie parsing irregularity for certain Nokia phones.  #2530 *zaitzow@gmail.com*
+
+*   Added PrototypeHelper::JavaScriptGenerator and PrototypeHelper#update_page for easily modifying multiple elements in an Ajax response. *Sam Stephenson*  Example:
+
+        update_page do |page|
+          page.insert_html :bottom, 'list', '<li>Last item</li>'
+          page.visual_effect :highlight, 'list'
+          page.hide 'status-indicator', 'cancel-link'
+        end
+
+    generates the following JavaScript:
+
+        new Insertion.Bottom("list", "<li>Last item</li>");
+        new Effect.Highlight("list");
+        ["status-indicator", "cancel-link"].each(Element.hide);

+
+*   Update to latest script.aculo.us version (as of [3031])

+
+*   Update documentation for render :file.  #2858 *Tom Werner*

+
+*   Added FormHelper#form_for and FormHelper#fields_for that makes it easier to work with forms for single objects also if they don't reside in instance variables *DHH*. Examples:
+
+    <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %>
+        First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
+        Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
+        Biography : <%= f.text_area :biography %>
+        Admin?    : <%= f.check_box :admin %>
+    <% end %>
+
+    <% form_for :person, person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |person_form| %>
+        First name: <%= person_form.text_field :first_name %>
+        Last name : <%= person_form.text_field :last_name %>
+
+        <% fields_for :permission => person.permission do |permission_fields| %>
+          Admin?  : <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
+        <% end %>
+    <% end %>
+
+*   options_for_select allows any objects which respond_to? :first and :last rather than restricting to Array and Range.  #2824 *Jacob Robbins <jrobbins@cmj.com>, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   The auto_link text helper accepts an optional block to format the link text for each url and email address.  Example: auto_link(post.body) { |text| truncate(text, 10) }  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   assert_tag uses exact matches for string conditions, instead of partial matches. Use regex to do partial matches. #2799 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore.data_column_name = 'foobar' to use a different session data column than the 'data' default.  *nbpwie102@sneakemail.com*
+
+*   Do not raise an exception when default helper is missing; log a debug message instead.  It's nice to delete empty helpers.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Controllers with acronyms in their names (e.g. PDFController) require the correct default helper (PDFHelper in file pdf_helper.rb).  #2262 *jeff@opendbms.com*
+
+
+## 1.11.0 (November 7th, 2005) ##

+        end
+
+        class WeblogController < ApplicationController
+          # will run the :authenticate filter
+        end
+
+        class SignupController < ActionController::Base

+*   Added support for per-action session management #1763
+
+*   Improved rendering speed on complicated templates by up to 100% (the more complex the templates, the higher the speedup) #1234 *Stefan Kaes*. This did necessasitate a change to the internals of ActionView#render_template that now has four parameters. Developers of custom view handlers (like Amrita) need to update for that.
+

+
+*   Worked around a Safari bug where it wouldn't pass headers through if the response was zero length by having render :nothing return ' ' instead of ''
+
+*   Fixed Request#subdomains to handle "foo.foo.com" correctly
+
+
+## 1.9.1 (11 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that auto_complete_for didn't force the input string to lower case even as the db comparison was
+
+*   Fixed that Action View should always use the included Builder, never attempt to require the gem, to ensure compatibility
+
+*   Added that nil options are not included in tags, so tag("p", :ignore => nil) now returns <p /> not <p ignore="" />  but that tag("p", :ignore => "") still includes it #1465 *Michael Schuerig*
+
+*   Fixed that UrlHelper#link_to_unless/link_to_if used html_escape on the name if no link was to be applied. This is unnecessary and breaks its use with images #1649 *joergd@pobox.com*

+
+*   Fixed routing to allow for testing of *path components #1650 *Nicholas Seckar*

+    * Removed a possible memory leak in IE with draggables
+    * Added support for cancelling dragging my hitting ESC

+    * Always reset background color on Effect.Highlight; this make change backwards-compatibility, to be sure include style="background-color:(target-color)" on your elements or else elements will fall back to their CSS rules (which is a good thing in most circumstances)
+    * Removed circular references from element to prevent memory leaks (still not completely gone in IE)
+    * Changes to class extension in effects.js
+    * Make Effect.Highlight restore any previously set background color when finishing (makes effect work with CSS classes that set a background color)
+    * Fixed myriads of memory leaks in IE and Gecko-based browsers *David Zülke*
+    * Added incremental and local autocompleting and loads of documentation to controls.js *Ivan Krstic*

+    * Changed object extension mechanism to favor Object.extend to make script.aculo.us easily adaptable to support 3rd party libs like IE7.js *David Zülke*
+
+*   Fixed that named routes didn't use the default values for action and possible other parameters #1534 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed JavascriptHelper#visual_effect to use camelize such that :blind_up will work #1639 *pelletierm@eastmedia.net*
+
+*   Fixed that a SessionRestoreError was thrown if a model object was placed in the session that wasn't available to all controllers. This means that it's no longer necessary to use the 'model :post' work-around in ApplicationController to have a Post model in your session.
+
+
+## 1.9.0 (6 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added logging of the request URI in the benchmark statement (makes it easy to grep for slow actions)

+*   Added javascript_include_tag :defaults shortcut that'll include all the default javascripts included with Action Pack (prototype, effects, controls, dragdrop)
+
+*   Cache several controller variables that are expensive to calculate #1229 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   The session class backing CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore may be replaced with any class that duck-types with a subset of Active Record.  See docs for details #1238 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Fixed that hashes was not working properly when passed by GET to lighttpd #849 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed assert_template nil will be true when no template was rendered #1565 *maceywj@telus.net*
+
+*   Added :prompt option to FormOptions#select (and the users of it, like FormOptions#select_country etc) to create "Please select" style descriptors #1181 *Michael Schuerig*
+
+*   Added JavascriptHelper#update_element_function, which returns a Javascript function (or expression) that'll update a DOM element according to the options passed #933 *mortonda@dgrmm.net*. Examples:
+
+        <%= update_element_function("products", :action => :insert, :position => :bottom, :content => "<p>New product!</p>") %>
+
+        <% update_element_function("products", :action => :replace, :binding => binding) do %>
+          <p>Product 1</p>
+          <p>Product 2</p>
+        <% end %>
+
+*   Added :field_name option to DateHelper#select_(year|month|day) to deviate from the year/month/day defaults #1266 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added JavascriptHelper#draggable_element and JavascriptHelper#drop_receiving_element to facilitate easy dragging and dropping through the script.aculo.us libraries #1578 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Added that UrlHelper#mail_to will now also encode the default link title #749 *f.svehla@gmail.com*
+
+*   Removed the default option of wrap=virtual on FormHelper#text_area to ensure XHTML compatibility #1300 *thomas@columbus.rr.com*
+
+*   Adds the ability to include XML CDATA tags using Builder #1563 *Josh Knowles*. Example:
+

+
+*   Added evaluation of SCRIPT blocks in content returned to Ajax calls #1577 *Thomas Fuchs/court3nay/Sean Treadway*

+
+*   Routes fail with leading slash #1540 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added support for graceful error handling of Ajax calls #1217 *Jamis Buck/Thomas Fuchs*. Example:
+
+        link_to_remote(
+          "test",
+          :url => { :action => "faulty" },
+          :update => { :success => "good", :failure => "bad" },
+          403 => "alert('Forbidden- got ya!')",
+          404 => "alert('Nothing there...?')",
+          :failure => "alert('Unkown error ' + request.status)")
+
+*   Attempt to explicitly flush the output at the end of CgiProcess#out
+
+*   Fixed assert_redirected_to to handle absolute controller paths properly #1472 *Rick Olson/Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added event-based observations when frequency is not set on observe_field/form #1474 *flash@vanklinkenbergsoftware.nl*
+
+*   Added script.aculo.us Javascripts (controls.js, dragdrop.js, effects.js) (NEEDS MORE DESCRIPTION) #1509 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Fixed prototype to consider all fields it doesn't know as text (such as Safari's search) just like the browser in its serialization #1497 *Sean Treadway*
+
+*   Improved performance of Routes generation by a factor of 5 #1434 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added named routes (NEEDS BETTER DESCRIPTION) #1434 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Improved AbstractRequest documentation #1483 *court3nay*
+
+*   Added ActionController::Base.allow_concurrency to control whether the application is thread-safe, so multi-threaded servers like WEBrick knows whether to apply a mutex around the performance of each action. Turned off by default. EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE.
+
+*   Added TextHelper#word_wrap(text, line_length = 80) #1449 *tuxie@dekadance.se*
+
+*   Added a fall-through action for form_remote_tag that'll be used in case Javascript is unavailable #1459 *Scott Barron*. Example:
+
+        form_remote_tag :html => { :action => url_for(:controller => "some", :action => "place") }
+
+*   Added :xhr => true/false option to verify so you can ensure that a request is coming from an Ajax call or not #1464 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Added tag_options as a third parameter to AssetHelper#auto_discovery_link_tag to control options like the title of the link #1430 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Added option to pass in parameters to CaptureHelper#capture, so you can create more advanced view helper methods #1466 *duane.johnson@gmail.com*. Example:
+
+        <% show_calendar(:year => 2005, :month => 6) do |day, options| %>
+          <% options[:bgcolor] = '#dfd' if 10..15.include? day %>
+          [<%= day %>]
+        <% end %>
+
+*   Changed the default name of the input tag generated by FormTagHelper#submit_tag from "submit" to "commit" so it doesn't clash with form.submit() calls in Javascript #1271
+
+*   Fixed relative urls support for lighttpd #1048 *Nicholas Seckar/maznawak@nerim.net*
+
+*   Correct distance_of_time_in_words for integer arguments and make the second arg optional, treating the first arg as a duration in seconds.  #1458 *madrobby <thomas@fesch.at>*
+
+*   Fixed query parser to deal gracefully with equal signs inside keys and values #1345 *gorou*.
+    Example: /?sig=abcdef=:foobar=&x=y will pass now.
+
+*   Added Cuba to country list #1351 *todd*
+
+*   Fixed radio_button to work with numeric values #1352 *demetrius*
+
+*   Added :extension option to NumberHelper#number_to_phone #1361 *delynnb*
+
+*   Added button_to as a form-based solution to deal with harmful actions that should be hidden behind POSTs. This makes it just as easy as link_to to create a safe trigger for actions like destroy, although it's limited by being a block element, the fixed look, and a no-no inside other forms. #1371 *tom@moertel.com*
+
+*   Fixed image_tag so an exception is not thrown just because the image is missing and alt value can't be generated #1395 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added a third parameter to TextHelper#auto_link called href_options for specifying additional tag options on the links generated #1401 *tyler.kovacs@gmail.com*. Example: auto_link(text, :all, { :target => "_blank" }) to have all the generated links open in a new window.
+
+*   Fixed TextHelper#highlight to return the text, not nil, if the phrase is blank #1409 *Patrick Lenz*
+
+*   Fixed TagHelper such that :name and 'name' keys in the options doesn't result in two attributes #1455 *take_tk*
+
+*   Ensure that helpers are only available to the controllers where they are defined and their subclasses.  #1394 *kdole@tamu.edu*
+
+*   render("foo/bar") works with a layout again
+
+*   Fixed double-singularization on scaffolded pagination call (Address would be turned into Addres) #1216, #1404 *nilsga*
+
+*   Removed the require hack used by functional testing to work around an earlier bug in rake.
+
+*   Allow distance_of_time_in_words to work with any value that responds to #to_time (like dates) #969
+
+*   Support :render option for :verify #1440 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Updated vendor copy of html-scanner lib to 0.5.2, for bug fixes and optimizations. The :content option may be used as expected--to find a tag whose textual content is a particular value--in assert_tag, now.
+
+*   Changed test requests to come from 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 such that they don't trigger debugging screens on exceptions, but instead call rescue_action_in_public
+
+*   Modernize scaffolding to match the generator: use the new render method and change style from the warty @params["id"] to the sleek params[:id].  #1367
+
+*   Include :id in the action generated by the form helper method.  Then, for example, the controller can do Model.find(params[:id]) for both edit and update actions.  Updated scaffolding to take advantage.  #1367
+
+*   Add assertions with friendly messages to TestCase#process to ensure that @controller, @request, and @response are set.  #1367
+
+*   Arrays, hashes sent via multipart posts are converted to strings #1032 *dj@omelia.org, me@julik.nl*
+
+*   render(:layout => true) is a synonym for render(:layout => nil)
+
+*   Make sure the benchmarking render method always returns the output of the render.
+
+*   render(:action), render(:template) and render() are the only three calls that default to using a layout. All other render calls assume :layout => false. This also fixes send_file, which was applying a layout if one existed for the current action.
+
+*   verify with :redirect_to won't redirect if a redirect or render has already been performed #1350
+
+*   render(:partial => true) is identical to the behavior of the deprecated render_partial()
+
+*   Fixed render(:partial => "...") to use an empty Hash for the local assigns #1365
+
+*   Fixed Caching::Fragments::FileStore.delete to not raise an exception if the delete fails.
+
+*   Deprecated all render_* methods in favor of consolidating all rendering behavior in Base#render(options). This enables more natural use of combining options, such as layouts. Examples:
+
+        +---------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
+        | BEFORE                                                        | AFTER                                                 |
+        +---------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
+        | render_with_layout "weblog/show", "200 OK", "layouts/dialog"  | render :action => "show", :layout => "dialog"         |
+        | render_without_layout "weblog/show"                           | render :action => "show", :layout => false            |
+        | render_action "error", "404 Not Found"                        | render :action => "error", :status => "404 Not Found" |
+        | render_template "xml.div('stuff')", "200 OK", :rxml           | render :inline => "xml.div('stuff')", :type => :rxml  |
+        | render_text "hello world!"                                    | render :text => "hello world!"                        |
+        | render_partial_collection "person", @people, nil, :a => 1     | render :partial => "person", :collection => @people,  |
+        |                                                               |        :locals => { :a => 1 }                         |
+        +---------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
+
+*   Deprecated redirect_to_path and redirect_to_url in favor of letting redirect_to do the right thing when passed either a path or url.
+
+*   Fixed use of an integer as return code for renders, so render_text "hello world", 404 now works #1327
+
+*   Fixed assert_redirect_to to work with redirect_to_path #869 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed escaping of :method option in remote_form_tag #1218 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added Serbia and Montenegro to the country_select #1239 *todd@robotcoop.com*
+
+*   Fixed Request#remote_ip in testing #1251 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed that compute_public_path should recognize external URLs, so image_tag("http://www.example.com/images/icon.gif") is not prefixed with the relative url path #1254 *victor-ronr-trac@carotena.net*
+
+*   Added support for descending year values in DateHelper#select_year, like select_year(Date.today, :start_year => 2005, :end_year => 1900), which would count down from 2005 to 1900 instead of the other way #1274 *nwoods@mail.com*
+
+*   Fixed that FormHelper#checkbox should return a checked checkbox if the value is the same as checked_value #1286 *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Fixed Form.disable in Prototype #1317 *Wintermute*
+
+*   Added accessors to logger, params, response, session, flash, and headers from the view, so you can write <% logger.info "stuff" %> instead of <% @logger.info "others" %> -- more consistent with the preferred way of accessing these attributes and collections from the controller
+
+*   Added support for POST data in form of YAML or XML, which is controller through the Content-Type header. Example request:
+
+        Content-Type: application/xml
+        <request><item><content>HelloWorld</content></item></request>
+
+    ...is the same as:
+
+        Content-Type: application/x-yaml
+        ---
+        item:
+          content: HelloWorld
+
+    ...is the same as:
+
+        item[content]=HelloWorld
+
+    Which in the end turns into { "item" => { "content" => "HelloWorld" } }. This makes it a lot easier to publish REST web services on top of your regular actions (as they won't care).
+
+    Example Curl call:
+
+        curl -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' -d '<request><item><content>KillMeMore</content></item></request>' http://www.example.com/service
+
+    You can query to find out whether a given request came through as one of these types with:
+        - request.post_format? (:url_encoded, :xml or :yaml)
+        - request.formatted_post? (for either xml or yaml)
+        - request.xml_post?
+        - request.yaml_post?
+
+*   Added bundling of XmlSimple by Maik Schmidt
+
+*   Fixed that render_partial_collection should always return a string (and not sometimes an array, despite <%= %> not caring)
+
+*   Added TextHelper#sanitize that can will remove any Javascript handlers, blocks, and forms from an input of HTML.  This allows for use of HTML on public sites, but still be free of XSS issues. #1277 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fixed the HTML scanner used by assert_tag where a infinite loop could be caused by a stray less-than sign in the input #1270 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added functionality to assert_tag, so you can now do tests on the siblings of a node, to assert that some element comes before or after the element in question, or just to assert that some element exists as a sibling #1226 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added better error handling for regexp caching expiration
+
+*   Fixed handling of requests coming from unknown HTTP methods not to kill the server
+
+*   Added that both AssetHelper#stylesheet_link_tag and AssetHelper#javascript_include_tag now accept an option hash as the last parameter, so you can do stuff like: stylesheet_link_tag "style", :media => "all"
+
+*   Added FormTagHelper#image_submit_tag for making submit buttons that uses images
+
+*   Added ActionController::Base.asset_host that will then be used by all the asset helpers. This enables you to easily offload static content like javascripts and images to a separate server tuned just for that.
+
+*   Fixed action/fragment caching using the filestore when a directory and a file wanted to use the same name. Now there's a .cache prefix that sidesteps the conflict #1188 *imbcmdth@hotmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed missing id uniqueness in FormTag#radio_button #1207 *Jarkko Laine*
+
+*   Fixed assert_redirected_to to work with :only_path => false #1204 *Alisdair McDiarmid*
+
+*   Fixed render_partial_collection to output an empty string instead of nil when handed an empty array #1202 *Ryan Carver*
+
+*   Improved the speed of regular expression expirations for caching by a factor of 10 #1221 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Removed dumping of template assigns on the rescue page as it would very easily include a ton of data making page loads take seconds (and the information was rarely helpful) #1222
+
+*   Added BenchmarkHelper that can measure the execution time of a block in a template and reports the result to the log. Example:
+
+        <% benchmark "Notes section" do %>
+          <%= expensive_notes_operation %>
+        <% end %>
+
+     Will add something like "Notes section (0.345234)" to the log.
+
+*   Added ActionController::Caching::Sweeper as an improved an easier to use sweeper. The new sweepers work on a single-step approach instead of two-steps like the old ones. Before
+
+        def after_save(record)
+          @list = record.is_a?(List) ? record : record.list
+        end
+
+        def filter(controller)
+          controller.expire_page(:controller => "lists", :action => %w( show public feed ), :id => @list.id)
+          controller.expire_action(:controller => "lists", :action => "all")
+          @list.shares.each { |share| controller.expire_page(:controller => "lists", :action => "show", :id => share.url_key) }
+        end
+
+    ..after:
+
+        def after_save(record)
+          list = record.is_a?(List) ? record : record.list
+          expire_page(:controller => "lists", :action => %w( show public feed ), :id => list.id)
+          expire_action(:controller => "lists", :action => "all")
+          list.shares.each { |share| expire_page(:controller => "lists", :action => "show", :id => share.url_key) }
+        end
+
+    The new sweepers can also observe on the actions themselves by implementing methods according to (before|after)_$controller_$action. Example of a callback that'll be called after PagesController#update_title has been performed:
+
+          def after_pages_update_title
+            expire_fragment(%r{pages/#{controller.assigns["page"].id}/.*})
+          end
+
+    Note that missing_method is delegated to the controller instance, which is assigned in a before filter. This means that you can call expire_fragment instead of @controller.expire_fragment.
+
+*   Added that Fragments#expire_fragment now accepts as a regular expression as the name thereby deprecating expire_matched_fragments
+
+*   Fixed that fragments shouldn't use the current host and the path as part of the key like pages does
+
+*   Added conditions to around_filters just like before_filter and after_filter
+
+
+## 1.8.1 (20th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added xml_http_request/xhr method for simulating XMLHttpRequest in functional tests #1151 *Sam Stephenson*. Example:
+
+        xhr :post, :index
+
+*   Fixed that Ajax.Base.options.asynchronous wasn't being respected in Ajax.Request (thanks Jon Casey)
+
+*   Fixed that :get, :post, and the others should take a flash array as the third argument just like process #1144 *rails@cogentdude.com*
+
+*   Fixed a problem with Flash.now
+
+*   Fixed stringification on all assigned hashes. The sacrifice is that assigns[:person] won't work in testing. Instead assigns["person"] or assigns(:person) must be used. In other words, the keys of assigns stay strings but we've added a method-based accessor to appease the need for symbols.
+
+*   Fixed that rendering a template would require a connection to the database #1146
+
+
+## 1.8.0 (19th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added assert_tag and assert_no_tag as a much improved alternative to the deprecated assert_template_xpath_match #1126 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Deprecated the majority of all the testing assertions and replaced them with a much smaller core and access to all the collections the old assertions relied on. That way the regular test/unit assertions can be used against these. Added documentation about how to use it all.
+
+*   Added a wide range of new Javascript effects:
+        * Effect.Puff zooms the element out and makes it smoothly transparent at the same time, giving a "puff" illusion #996 *thomas@fesch.at*
+          After the animation is completed, the display property will be set to none.
+          This effect will work on relative and absolute positioned elements.
+
+        * Effect.Appear as the opposite of Effect.Fade #990 *thomas@fesch.at*
+          You should return elements with style="display:none;" or a like class for this to work best and have no chance of flicker.
+
+        * Effect.Squish for scaling down an element and making it disappear at the end #972 *thomas@fesch.at*
+
+        * Effect.Scale for smoothly scaling images or text up and down #972 *thomas@fesch.at*
+
+        * Effect.Fade which smoothly turns opacity from 100 to 0 and then hides the element #960 *thomas@fesch.at*
+
+*   Added Request#xml_http_request? (and an alias xhr?) to that'll return true when the request came from one of the Javascript helper methods (Ajax). This can be used to give one behavior for modern browsers supporting Ajax, another to old browsers #1127 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Changed render_partial to take local assigns as the second parameter instead of an explicit object and then the assigns. So the API changes from:
+
+        <%= render_partial "account", person, "rules" => regulations.rules %>
+
+    ...to:
+
+        <%= render_partial "account", :account => person, :rules => regulations.rules %>
+
+    The old API will still work, though, and render_partial "account" will still assume :account => @account.
+
+*   Added support for web servers that use PATH_INFO instead of REQUEST_URI like IIS #1014 *BradG/Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added graceful handling of PUT, DELETE, and OPTIONS requests for a complete coverage of REST functionality #1136 *Josh Knowles*
+
+*   Fixed that you can now pass an alternative :href option to link_to_function/remote in order to point to somewhere other than # if the javascript fails or is turned off. You can do the same with form_remote_tag by passing in :action. #1113 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Fixed DateHelper to return values on the option tags such that they'll work properly in IE with form_remote_tag #1024 *Scott Raymond*
+
+*   Fixed FormTagHelper#check_box to respect checked #1049 *DelynnB*
+
+*   Added that render_partial called from a controller will use the action name as default #828 *Dan Peterson*
+
+*   Added Element.toggle, Element.show, and Element.hide to the prototype javascript library. Toggle.display has been deprecated, but will still work #992 *Lucas Carlson*
+
+*   Added that deleting a cookie should not just set it to an empty string but also instantly expire it #1118 *todd@robotcoop.com*
+
+*   Added AssetTagHelper#image_path, AssetTagHelper#javascript_path, and AssetTagHelper#stylesheet_path #1110 *Larry Halff*
+
+*   Fixed url_for(nil) in functional tests #1116 *Alisdair McDiarmid*
+
+*   Fixed error handling of broken layouts #1115 *Michael Schubert*
+
+*   Added submit_to_remote that allows you to trigger an Ajax form submition at the click of the submission button, which allows for multiple targets in a single form through the use of multiple submit buttons #930 *yrashk@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed pagination to work with joins #1034 *scott@sigkill.org*
+
+*   Fixed that *rest parameter in map.connect couldn't accept an empty list #1037 *Dee Zsombor*
+
+*   Added :confirm option to link_to_remote just like link_to has #1082 *yrashk@fp.org.ua*
+
+*   Added minute_step as an option to select_minute (and the helpers that use it) to jump in larger increments than just 1 minute. At 15, it would return 0, 15, 30, 45 options #1085 *ordwaye@evergreen.edu*
+
+*   Fixed that an exception would be thrown when an empty form was submitted #1090 *jan@ulbrich-boerwang.de*
+
+*   Moved TextHelper#human_size to NumberHelper#number_to_human_size, but kept an deprecated alias to the old method name
+
+*   Fixed that the content-type for some browsers could include an additional \r which made wonky things happen #1067 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Fixed that radio buttons shouldn't have a default size attribute #1074 *hendrik@mans.de*
+
+*   Added ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag::DEFAULT_RADIO_OPTIONS that contains a hash of default options for radio buttons #1074 *hendrik@mans.de*
+
+*   Fixed that in some circumstances controllers outside of modules may have hidden ones inside modules. For example, admin/content might have been hidden by /content. #1075 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added JavascriptHelper#periodically_call_remote in order to create areas of a page that update automatically at a set interval #945 *Jon Tirsen*
+
+*   Fixed Cache#expire_matched_fragments that couldn't recognize the difference between string and url_for options #1030 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Added simulation of @request.request_uri in functional tests #1038 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fixed autolinking to work better in more cases #1013 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added the possible of using symbols in form helpers that relate to instance variables like text_field :account, :name in addition to text_field "account", "name"'
+
+*   Fixed javascript_include_tag to output type instead of language and conform to XHTML #1018 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added NumberHelper for common string representations like phone number, currency, and percentage #1015 *DeLynn*
+
+*   Added pagination for scaffolding (10 items per page) #964 *mortonda@dgrmm.net*
+
+*   Added assert_no_cookie and fixed assert_cookie_equal to deal with non-existing cookies #979 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed :overwrite_param so it doesn't delete but reject elements from @request.parameters #982 *raphinou@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Added :method option to verify for ensuring that either GET, POST, etc is allowed #984 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added options to set cc, bcc, subject, and body for UrlHelper#mail_to #966 *DeLynn*
+
+*   Fixed include_blank for select_hour/minute/second #527 *edward@debian.org*
+
+*   Improved the message display on the exception handler pages #963 *Johan Sorensen*
+
+*   Fixed that on very rare occasions, webrick would raise a NoMethodError: private method 'split' called for nil #1001 *Flurin Egger*
+
+*   Fixed problem with page caching #958 *Rick Olson*
+
+
+## 1.7.0 (27th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added ActionController::Base.page_cache_extension for setting the page cache file extension (the default is .html) #903 *Andreas*
+
+*   Fixed "bad environment variable value" exception caused by Safari, Apache, and Ajax calls #918
+
+*   Fixed that pagination_helper would ignore :params #947 *Sebastian Kanthak*
+
+*   Added :owerwrite_params back to url_for and friends -- it was AWL since the introduction of Routes #921 *raphinou*
+
+*   Added :position option to link_to_remote/form_remote_tag that can be either :before, :top, :bottom, or :after and specifies where the return from the method should be inserted #952 *Matthew McCray/Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Added Effect.Highlight to prototype.js to do Yellow Fade Technique (of 37signals' fame) on any container #952 *Sam Stephenson/court3nay*
+
+*   Added include_seconds option as the third parameter to distance_of_time_in_words which will render "less than a minute" in higher resolution ("less than 10 seconds" etc) #944 *thomas@fesch.at*
+
+*   Added fourth option to process in test cases to specify the content of the flash #949 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added Verifications that allows you to specify preconditions to actions in form of statements like <tt>verify :only => :update_post, :params => "admin_privileges", :redirect_to => { :action => "settings" }</tt>, which ensure that the update_post action is only called if admin_privileges is available as a parameter -- otherwise the user is redirected to settings. #897 *Jamis Buck*

+*   Fixed Form.Serialize for the JavascriptHelper to also seriliaze password fields #934 *dweitzman@gmail.com*
+
+*   Added JavascriptHelper#escape_javascript as a public method (was private) and made it escape both single and double quotes and new lines #940 *mortonda@dgrmm.net*
+
+*   Added trailing_slash option to url_for, so you can generate urls ending in a slash. Note that is currently not recommended unless you need it for special reasons since it breaks caching #937 *stian@grytoyr.net*
+
+*   Added expire_matched_fragments(regular_expression) to clear out a lot of fragment caches at once #927 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed the problems with : and ? in file names for fragment caches on Windows #927 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added TextHelper#human_size for formatting file sizes, like human_size(1234567) => 1.2 MB #943 *thomas@fesch.at*
+
+*   Fixed link_to :confirm #936 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Improved error reporting especially around never shallowing exceptions. Debugging helpers should be much easier now #980 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed Toggle.display in prototype.js #902 *Lucas Carlson*
+
+
+## 1.6.0 (22th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added a JavascriptHelper and accompanying prototype.js library that opens the world of Ajax to Action Pack with a large array of options for dynamically interacting with an application without reloading the page #884 *Sam Stephenson/David*
+
+*   Added pagination support through both a controller and helper add-on #817 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Fixed routing and helpers to make Rails work on non-vhost setups #826 *Nicholas Seckar/Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added a much improved Flash module that allows for finer-grained control on expiration and allows you to flash the current action #839 *Caio Chassot*. Example of flash.now:
+
+        class SomethingController < ApplicationController
+          def save
+            ...
+            if @something.save
+              # will redirect, use flash
+              flash[:message] = 'Save successful'
+              redirect_to :action => 'list'
+            else
+              # no redirect, message is for current action, use flash.now
+              flash.now[:message] = 'Save failed, review'
+              render_action 'edit'
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Added to_param call for parameters when composing an url using url_for from something else than strings #812 *Sam Stephenson*. Example:
+
+        class Page
+          def initialize(number)
+            @number = number
+          end
+          # ...
+          def to_param
+            @number.to_s
+          end
+        end
+
+    You can now use instances of Page with url_for:
+
+        class BarController < ApplicationController
+          def baz
+            page = Page.new(4)
+            url = url_for :page => page # => "http://foo/bar/baz?page=4"
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Fixed form helpers to query Model#id_before_type_cast instead of Model#id as a temporary workaround for Ruby 1.8.2 warnings #818 *DeLynn B*
+
+*   Fixed TextHelper#markdown to use blank? instead of empty? so it can deal with nil strings passed #814 *Johan Sörensen*
+
+*   Added TextHelper#simple_format as a non-dependency text presentation helper #814 *Johan Sörensen*
+
+*   Added that the html options disabled, readonly, and multiple can all be treated as booleans. So specifying <tt>disabled => :true</tt> will give <tt>disabled="disabled"</tt>. #809 *mindel*
+
+*   Added path collection syntax for Routes that will gobble up the rest of the url and pass it on to the controller #830 *rayners*. Example:
+
+        map.connect 'categories/*path_info', :controller => 'categories', :action => 'show'
+
+    A request for /categories/top-level-cat, would give @params[:path_info] with "top-level-cat".
+    A request for /categories/top-level-cat/level-1-cat, would give @params[:path_info] with "top-level-cat/level-1-cat" and so forth.
+
+    The @params[:path_info] return is really an array, but where to_s has been overwritten to do join("/").
+
+*   Fixed options_for_select on selected line issue #624 *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Added CaptureHelper with CaptureHelper#capture and CaptureHelper#content_for. See documentation in helper #837 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Fixed :anchor use in url_for #821 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Removed the reliance on PATH_INFO as it was causing problems for caching and inhibited the new non-vhost support #822 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added assigns shortcut for @response.template.assigns to controller test cases *Jeremy Kemper*. Example:
+
+    Before:
+
+        def test_list
+          assert_equal 5, @response.template.assigns['recipes'].size
+          assert_equal 8, @response.template.assigns['categories'].size
+        end
+
+    After:
+
+        def test_list
+          assert_equal 5, assigns(:recipes).size
+          assert_equal 8, assigns(:categories).size
+        end
+
+*   Added TagHelper#image_tag and deprecated UrlHelper#link_image_to (recommended approach is to combine image_tag and link_to instead)
+
+*   Fixed textilize to be resilient to getting nil parsed (by using Object#blank? instead of String#empty?)
+
+*   Fixed that the :multipart option in FormTagHelper#form_tag would be ignored *Yonatan Feldman*
+
+
+## 1.5.1 (7th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that the routes.rb file wouldn't be found on symlinked setups due to File.expand_path #793 *piotr@t-p-l.com*
+
+*   Changed ActiveRecordStore to use Marshal instead of YAML as the latter proved troublesome in persisting circular dependencies. Updating existing applications MUST clear their existing session table from data to start using this updated store #739 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added shortcut :id assignment to render_component and friends (before you had to go through :params) #784 *Lucas Carlson*
+
+*   Fixed that map.connect should convert arguments to strings #780 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added UrlHelper#link_to_if/link_to_unless to enable other conditions that just link_to_unless_current #757 *mindel*
+
+*   Fixed that single quote was not escaped in a UrlHelper#link_to javascript confirm #549 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Removed the default border on link_image_to (it broke xhtml strict) -- can be specified with :border => 0 #517 *?/caleb*
+
+*   Fixed that form helpers would treat string and symbol keys differently in html_options (and possibly create duplicate entries) #112 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed that broken pipe errors (clients disconnecting in mid-request) could bring down a fcgi process
+
+*   Added the original exception message to session recall errors (so you can see which class wasnt required)
+
+*   Fixed that RAILS_ROOT might not be defined when AP was loaded, so do a late initialization of the ROUTE_FILE #761 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Fix request.path_info and clear up LoadingModule behavior #754 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed caching to be aware of extensions (so you can cache files like api.wsdl or logo.png) #734 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed that Routes would raise NameErrors if a controller component contains characters that are not valid constant names #733 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added PATH_INFO access from the request that allows urls like the following to be interpreted by rails: http://www.example.com/dispatcher.cgi/controller/action -- that makes it possible to use rails as a CGI under lighttpd and would also allow (for example) Rublog to be ported to rails without breaking existing links to Rublog-powered blogs. #728 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fixed that caching the root would result in .html not index.html #731, #734 *alisdair/Nicholas Seckar*
+
+
+## 1.5.0 (24th February, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added Routing as a replacement for mod_rewrite pretty urls [Nicholas Seckar]. Read more in ActionController::Base.url_for and on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/9
+
+*   Added components that allows you to call other actions for their rendered response while execution another action. You can either delegate the entire response rendering or you can mix a partial response in with your other content. Read more on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/14
+
+*    Fixed that proxy IPs do not follow all RFC1918 nets #251 *caleb@aei-tech.com*
+
+*   Added Base#render_to_string to parse a template and get the result back as a string #479
+
+*   Fixed that send_file/data can work even if render* has been called before in action processing to render the content of a file to be send for example #601
+
+*   Added FormOptionsHelper#time_zone_select and FormOptionsHelper#time_zone_options_for_select to work with the new value object TimeZone in Active Support #688 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added FormHelper#file_field and FormTagHelper#file_field_tag for creating file upload fields
+
+*   Added :order option for date_select that allows control over the order in which the date dropdowns is used and which of them should be used #619 [Tim Bates]. Examples:
+
+        date_select("post", "written_on", :order => [:day, :month, :year])
+        date_select("user", "birthday",   :order => [:month, :day])
+
+*   Added ActionView::Base.register_template_handler for easy integration of an alternative template language to ERb and Builder. See test/controller/custom_handler_test.rb for a usage example #656 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added AssetTagHelper that provides methods for linking a HTML page together with other assets, such as javascripts, stylesheets, and feeds.
+
+*   Added FormTagHelper that provides a number of methods for creating form tags that doesn't rely on conventions with an object assigned to the template like FormHelper does. With the FormTagHelper, you provide the names and values yourself.
+
+*   Added Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq to the countries list used by FormOptions#country_select and FormOptions#country_options_for_select
+
+*   Renamed link_to_image to link_image_to (since thats what it actually does) -- kept alias for the old method name
+
+*   Fixed textilize for RedCloth3 to keep doing hardbreaks
+
+*   Fixed that assert_template_xpath_matches did not indicate when a path was not found #658 *Eric Hodel*
+
+*   Added TextHelper#auto_link to turn email addresses and urls into ahrefs
+
+*   Fixed that on validation errors, scaffold couldn't find template #654 *mindel*
+
+*   Added Base#hide_action(*names) to hide public methods from a controller that would otherwise have been callable through the URL. For the majority of cases, its preferred just to make the methods you don't want to expose protected or private (so they'll automatically be hidden) -- but if you must have a public method, this is a way to make it uncallable. Base#hidden_actions retrieve the list of all hidden actions for the controller #644 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed that a bunch of methods from ActionController::Base was accessible as actions (callable through a URL) when they shouldn't have been #644 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added UrlHelper#current_page?(options) method to check if the url_for options passed corresponds to the current page
+
+*   Fixed https handling on other ports than 443 *Alan Gano*
+
+*   Added follow_redirect method for functional tests that'll get-request the redirect that was made. Example:
+
+        def test_create_post
+          post :create, "post" => { "title" => "Exciting!" }
+          assert_redirected_to :action => "show"
+
+          follow_redirect
+          assert_rendered_file "post/show"
+        end
+
+    Limitation: Only works for redirects to other actions within the same controller.
+
+*   Fixed double requiring of models with the same name as the controller
+
+*   Fixed that query params could be forced to nil on a POST due to the raw post fix #562 *moriq@moriq.com*
+
+*   Fixed that cookies shouldn't be frozen in TestRequest #571 *Eric Hodel*
+
+
+## 1.4.0 (January 25th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed problems with ActiveRecordStore under the development environment in Rails
+
+*   Fixed the ordering of attributes in the xml-decleration of Builder #540 *woeye*
+
+*   Added @request.raw_post as a convenience access to @request.env['RAW_POST_DATA'] #534 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added support for automatic id-based indexing for lists of items #532 [dblack]. Example:
+
+        <% @students.each do |@student| %>
+          <%= text_field "student[]", "first_name", :size => "20" %>
+          <%= text_field "student[]", "last_name" %>
+          <%= text_field "student[]", "grade", :size => "5" %>
+        <% end %>
+
+    ...would produce, for say David Black with id 123 and a grace of C+:
+
+        <input id="student_123_first_name" name="student[123][first_name]" size="20"     size="30" type="text" value="David" />
+        <input id="student_123_last_name" name="student[123][last_name]" size="30"  type="text" value="Black" />
+        <input id="student_123_grade" name="student[123][grade]" size="5" type="text"  value="C+" />
+
+*   Added :application_prefix to url_for and friends that makes it easier to setup Rails in non-vhost environments #516 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added :encode option to mail_to that'll allow you to masquarede the email address behind javascript or hex encoding #494 *Lucas Carlson*
+
+*   Fixed that the content-header was being set to application/octet_stream instead of application/octet-stream on send_date/file *Alexey*
+
+*   Removed the need for passing the binding when using CacheHelper#cache
+
+*   Added TestResponse#binary_content that'll return as a string the data sent through send_data/send_file for testing #500 *Alexey*
+
+*   Added @request.env['RAW_POST_DATA'] for people who need access to the data before Ruby's CGI has parsed it #505 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed that a default fragment store wan't being set to MemoryStore as intended.
+
+*   Fixed that all redirect and render calls now return true, so you can use the pattern of "do and return". Example:
+
+        def show
+          redirect_to(:action => "login") and return unless @person.authenticated?
+          render_text "I won't happen unless the person is authenticated"
+        end
+
+*   Added that renders and redirects called in before_filters will have the same effect as returning false: stopping the chain. Example:
+
+        class WeblogController
+          before_filter { |c| c.send(:redirect_to_url("http://www.farfaraway.com")}) }
+
+          def hello
+            render_text "I will never be called"
+          end
+        end
+
+
+*   Added that only one render or redirect can happen per action. The first call wins and subsequent calls are ignored. Example:
+
+        def do_something
+          redirect_to :action => "elsewhere"
+          render_action "overthere"
+        end
+
+    Only the redirect happens. The rendering call is simply ignored.
+
+
+## 1.3.1 (January 18th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed a bug where cookies wouldn't be set if a symbol was used instead of a string as the key
+
+*   Added assert_cookie_equal to assert the contents of a named cookie
+
+*   Fixed bug in page caching that prevented it from working at all
+
+
+## 1.3.0 (January 17th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added an extensive caching module that offers three levels of granularity (page, action, fragment) and a variety of stores.
+    Read more in ActionController::Caching.
+
+*   Added the option of passing a block to ActiveRecordHelper#form in order to add more to the auto-generated form #469 *dom@sisna.com*
+
+        form("entry", :action => "sign") do |form|
+          form << content_tag("b", "Department")
+          form << collection_select("department", "id", @departments, "id", "name")
+        end
+
+*   Added arrays as a value option for params in url_for and friends #467 [Eric Anderson]. Example:
+
+        url_for(:controller => 'user', :action => 'delete', :params => { 'username' =>  %( paul john steve ) } )
+        # => /user/delete?username[]=paul&username[]=john&username[]=steve
+
+*   Fixed that controller tests can now assert on the use of cookies #466 *Alexey*
+
+*   Fixed that send_file would "remember" all the files sent by adding to the headers again and again #458 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed url rewriter confusion when the controller or action name was a substring of the controller_prefix or action_prefix
+
+*   Added conditional layouts like <tt>layout "weblog_standard", :except => :rss</tt> #452 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed that MemCacheStore wasn't included by default and added default MemCache object pointing to localhost #447 *Lucas Carlson*
+
+*   Added fourth argument to render_collection_of_partials that allows you to specify local_assigns -- just like render_partial #432 *Ryan Davis*
+
+*   Fixed that host would choke when cgi.host returned nil #432 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   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)
+    2. Don't screw up all forms when you click the "Retry with Breakpoint" link multiple times instead of reloading
+         (This caused the parameters to be added multiple times for GET forms leading to trouble.)
+    3. Don't add ?BP-RETRY=1 multiple times
+
+*   Added that all renders and redirects now return false, so they can be used as the last line in before_filters to stop execution.
+
+    Before:
+        def authenticate
+          unless @session[:authenticated]
+            redirect_to :controller => "account", :action => "login"
+            return false
+          end
+        end
+
+    After:
+        def authenticate
+          redirect_to(:controller => "account", :action => "login") unless @session[:authenticated]
+        end
+
+*   Added conditional filters #431 [Marcel Molina Jr.]. Example:
+
+        class JournalController < ActionController::Base
+          # only require authentication if the current action is edit or delete
+          before_filter :authorize, :only_on => [ :edit, :delete ]
+
+          private
+            def authorize
+              # redirect to login unless authenticated
+            end
+        end
+
+*   Added Base#render_nothing as a cleaner way of doing render_text "" when you're not interested in returning anything but an empty response.
+
+*   Added the possibility of passing nil to UrlHelper#link_to to use the link itself as the name
+
+
+## 1.2.0 (January 4th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added MemCacheStore for storing session data in Danga's MemCache system *Bob Cottrell*
+    Depends on: MemCached server (http://www.danga.com/memcached/), MemCache client (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/memcache/)
+
+*   Added thread-safety to the DRbStore #66, #389 *Ben Stiglitz*
+
+*   Added DateHelper#select_time and DateHelper#select_second #373 *Scott Baron*
+
+*   Added :host and :protocol options to url_for and friends to redirect to another host and protocol than the current.
+
+*   Added class declaration for the MissingFile exception #388 *Kent Sibilev*
+
+*   Added "short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s)" to redirects to fulfill compliance with RFC 2616 (HTTP/1.1) section 10.3.3 #397 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Added second boolean parameter to Base.redirect_to_url and Response#redirect to control whether the redirect is permanent or not (301 vs 302) #375 *Hodel*
+
+*   Fixed redirects when the controller and action is named the same. Still haven't fixed same controller, module, and action, though #201 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Fixed problems with running multiple functional tests in Rails under 1.8.2 by including hack for test/unit weirdness
+
+*   Fixed that @request.remote_ip didn't work in the test environment #369 *Bruno Mattarollo*
+
+
+## 1.1.0 ##
+
+*   Added search through session to clear out association caches at the end of each request. This makes it possible to place Active Record objects
+    in the session without worrying about stale data in the associations (the main object is still subject to caching, naturally) #347 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added more informative exception when using helper :some_helper and the helper requires another file that fails, you'll get an
+    error message tells you what file actually failed to load, rather than falling back on assuming it was the helper file itself #346 *dblack*
+
+*   Added use of *_before_type_cast for all input and text fields. This is helpful for getting "100,000" back on a integer-based
+    validation where the value would normally be "100".
+
+*   Added Request#port_string to get something like ":8080" back on 8080 and "" on 80 (or 443 with https).
+
+*   Added Request#domain (returns string) and Request#subdomains (returns array).
+
+*   Added POST support for the breakpoint retries, so form processing that raises an exception can be retried with the original request *Florian Gross*
+
+*   Fixed regression with Base#reset_session that wouldn't use the DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS *adam@the-kramers.net*
+
+*   Fixed error rendering of rxml documents to not just swallow the exception and return 0 (still not guessing the right line, but hey)
+
+*   Fixed that textilize and markdown would instantiate their engines even on empty strings. This also fixes #333 *Ulysses*
+
+*   Fixed UrlHelper#link_to_unless so it doesn't care if the id is a string or fixnum *Ryan Davis*
+
+
+## 1.0.1 ##
+
+*   Fixed a bug that would cause an ApplicationController to require itself three times and hence cause filters to be run three times *evl*
+
+
+## 1.0 ##
+
+*   Added that controllers will now attempt to require a model dependency with their name and in a singular attempt for their name.
+    So both PostController and PostsController will automatically have the post.rb model required. If no model is found, no error is raised,
+    as it is then expected that no match is available and the programmer will have included his own models.
+
+*   Fixed DateHelper#date_select so that you can pass include_blank as an option even if you don't use start_year and end_year #59 *what-a-day*
+
+*   Added that controllers will now search for a layout in $template_root/layouts/$controller_name.r(html|xml), so PostsController will look
+    for layouts/posts.rhtml or layouts/posts.rxml and automatically configure this layout if found #307 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added FormHelper#radio_button to work with radio buttons like its already possible with check boxes *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added TemplateError#backtrace that makes it much easier to debug template errors from unit and functional tests
+
+*   Added display of error messages with scaffolded form pages
+
+*   Added option to ERB templates to swallow newlines by using <% if something -%> instead of just <% if something %>. Example:
+
+        class SomeController < ApplicationController
+        <% if options[:scaffold] %>
+          scaffold :<%= singular_name %>
+        <% end %>
+          helper :post
+
+    ...produces this on post as singular_name:
+
+        class SomeController < ApplicationController
+
+          scaffold :post
+
+          helper :post
+
+    ...where as:
+
+        class SomeController < ApplicationController
+        <% if options[:scaffold] -%>
+          scaffold :<%= singular_name %>
+        <% end -%>
+          helper :post
+
+    ...produces:
+
+        class SomeController < ApplicationController
+          scaffold :post
+          helper :post
+
+    *This undocumented gem for ERb was uncovered by bitsweat*
+
+*   Fixed CgiRequest so that it'll now accept session options with Symbols as keys (as the documentation points out) *Suggested by Andreas*
+
+*   Added that render_partial will always by default include a counter with value 1 unless there is a counter passed in via the
+    local_assigns hash that overrides it. As a result, render_collection_of_partials can still be written in terms of render_partial
+    and partials that make use of a counter can be called without problems from both render_collection_of_partials as well as
+    render_partial #295 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed CgiRequest#out to fall back to #write if $stdout doesn't have #syswrite *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed all helpers so that they use XHTML compliant double quotes for values instead of single quotes *htonl/Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added link_to_image(src, options = {}, html_options = {}). Documentation:
+
+        Creates a link tag to the image residing at the +src+ using an URL created by the set of +options+. See the valid options in
+        link:classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000021. It's also possible to pass a string instead of an options hash to
+        get a link tag that just points without consideration. The <tt>html_options</tt> works jointly for the image and ahref tag by
+        letting the following special values enter the options on the image and the rest goes to the ahref:
+
+        ::alt: If no alt text is given, the file name part of the +src+ is used (capitalized and without the extension)
+        ::size: Supplied as "XxY", so "30x45" becomes width="30" and height="45"
+        ::align: Sets the alignment, no special features
+
+        The +src+ can be supplied as a...
+        * full path, like "/my_images/image.gif"
+        * file name, like "rss.gif", that gets expanded to "/images/rss.gif"
+        * file name without extension, like "logo", that gets expanded to "/images/logo.png"
+
+*   Fixed to_input_field_tag so it no longer explicitly uses InstanceTag.value if value was specified in the options hash *evl*
+
+*   Added the possibility of having validate be protected for assert_(in)valid_column #263 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added that ActiveRecordHelper#form now calls url_for on the :action option.
+
+*   Added all the HTTP methods as alternatives to the generic "process" for functional testing #276 *Tobias Lütke*. Examples:
+
+        # Calls Controller#miletone with a GET request
+        process :milestone
+
+        # Calls Controller#miletone with a POST request that has parameters
+        post :milestone, { "name" => "David" }
+
+        # Calls Controller#milestone with a HEAD request that has both parameters and session data
+        head :milestone, { "id" => 1 }, { "user_id" => 23 }
+
+    This is especially useful for testing idiomatic REST web services.
+
+*   Added proper handling of HEAD requests, so that content isn't returned (Request#head? added as well) #277 *Eric Hodel*
+
+*   Added indifference to whether @headers["Content-Type"], @headers["Content-type"], or @headers["content-type"] is used.
+
+*   Added TestSession#session_id that returns an empty string to make it easier to functional test applications that doesn't use
+    cookie-based sessions #275 *jcf*
+
+*   Fixed that cached template loading would still check the file system to see if the file existed #258 *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Added options to tailor header tag, div id, and div class on ActiveRecordHelper#error_messages_for *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Added graceful handling of non-alphanumeric names and misplaced brackets in input parameters *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added a new container for cookies that makes them more intuative to use. The old methods of cookie and @cookies have been deprecated.
+
+    Examples for writing:
+
+        cookies["user_name"] = "david" # => Will set a simple session cookie
+        cookies["login"] = { "value" => "XJ-122", "expires" => Time.now + 360} # => Will set a cookie that expires in 1 hour
+
+    Examples for reading:
+
+        cookies["user_name"] # => "david"
+        cookies.size         # => 2
+
+    Read more in ActionController::Cookies
+
+    NOTE: If you were using the old accessor (cookies instead of @cookies), this could potentially break your code -- if you expect a full cookie object!
+
+*   Added the opportunity to defined method_missing on a controller which will handle all requests for actions not otherwise defined #223 *timb*
+
+*   Fixed AbstractRequest#remote_ip for users going through proxies - Patch #228 *Eric Hodel*
+
+*   Added Request#ssl? which is shorthand for @request.protocol == "https://"
+
+*   Added the choice to call form_tag with no arguments (resulting in a form posting to current action) *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Upgraded to Builder 1.2.1
+
+*   Added :module as an alias for :controller_prefix to url_for and friends, so you can do redirect_to(:module => "shop", :controller => "purchases")
+    and go to /shop/purchases/
+
+*   Added support for controllers in modules through @params["module"].
+
+*   Added reloading for dependencies under cached environments like FastCGI and mod_ruby. This makes it possible to use those environments for development.
+    This is turned on by default, but can be turned off with ActionController::Base.reload_dependencies = false in production environments.
+
+    NOTE: This will only have an effect if you use the new model, service, and observer class methods to mark dependencies. All libraries loaded through
+    require will be "forever" cached. You can, however, use ActionController::Base.load_or_require("library") to get this behavior outside of the new
+    dependency style.
+
+*   Added that controllers will automatically require their own helper if possible. So instead of doing:
+
+        class MsgController < ApplicationController
+          helper :msg
+        end
+
+    ...you can just do:
+
+        class MsgController < ApplicationController
+        end
+
+*   Added dependencies_on(layer) to query the dependencies of a controller. Examples:
+
+        MsgController.dependencies_on(:model)    # => [ :post, :comment, :attachment ]
+        MsgController.dependencies_on(:service)  # => [ :notification_service ]
+        MsgController.dependencies_on(:observer) # => [ :comment_observer ]
+
+*   Added a new dependency model with the class methods model, service, and observer. Example:
+
+        class MsgController < ApplicationController
+          model    :post, :comment, :attachment
+          service  :notification_service
+          observer :comment_observer
+        end
+
+    These new "keywords" remove the need for explicitly calling 'require' in most cases. The observer method even instantiates the
+    observer as well as requiring it.
+
+*   Fixed that link_to would escape & in the url again after url_for already had done so
+
+
+## 0.9.5 (28) ##
+
+*   Added helper_method to designate that a given private or protected method you should available as a helper in the view. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed assert_rendered_file so it actually verifies if that was the rendered file *htonl*
+
+*   Added the option for sharing partial spacer templates just like partials themselves *radsaq*
+
+*   Fixed that Russia was named twice in country_select *alexey*
+
+*   Fixed request_origin to use remote_ip instead of remote_addr *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed link_to breakage when nil was passed for html_options *alexey*
+
+*   Fixed redirect_to on a virtual server setup with apache with a port other than the default where it would forget the port number *seanohalpin*
+
+*   Fixed that auto-loading webrick on Windows would cause file uploads to fail *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed issues with sending files on WEBrick by setting the proper binmode *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added send_data as an alternative to send_file when the stream is not read off the filesystem but from a database or generated live *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added a new way to include helpers that doesn't require the include hack and can go without the explicit require. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+    Before:
+
+        module WeblogHelper
+          def self.included(controller) #:nodoc:
+            controller.ancestors.include?(ActionController::Base) ? controller.add_template_helper(self) : super
+          end
+        end
+
+        require 'weblog_helper'
+        class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+          include WeblogHelper
+        end
+
+    After:
+
+        module WeblogHelper
+        end
+
+        class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+          helper :weblog
+        end
+
+*   Added a default content-type of "text/xml" to .rxml renders *Ryan Platte*
+
+*   Fixed that when /controller/index was requested by the browser, url_for would generates wrong URLs *Ryan Platte*
+
+*   Fixed a bug that would share cookies between users when using FastCGI and mod_ruby *The Robot Co-op*
+
+*   Added an optional third hash parameter to the process method in functional tests that takes the session data to be used *alexey*
+
+*   Added UrlHelper#mail_to to make it easier to create mailto: style ahrefs
+
+*   Added better error messages for layouts declared with the .rhtml extension (which they shouldn't) *geech*
+
+*   Added another case to DateHelper#distance_in_minutes to return "less than a minute" instead of "0 minutes" and "1 minute" instead of "1 minutes"
+
+*   Added a hidden field to checkboxes generated with FormHelper#check_box that will make sure that the unchecked value (usually 0)
+    is sent even if the checkbox is not checked. This relieves the controller from doing custom checking if the checkbox wasn't
+    checked. BEWARE: This might conflict with your run-on-the-mill work-around code. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Fixed error_message_on to just use the first if more than one error had been added *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed that URL rewriting with /controller/ was working but /controller was not and that you couldn't use :id on index *geech*
+
+*   Fixed a bug with link_to where the :confirm option wouldn't be picked up if the link was a straight url instead of an option hash
+
+*   Changed scaffolding of forms to use <label> tags instead of <b> to please W3C *evl*
+
+*   Added DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words_to_now(from_time) that works like distance_of_time_in_words,
+    but where <tt>to_time</tt> is fixed to <tt>Time.now</tt>.
+
+*   Added assert_flash_equal(expected, key, message), assert_session_equal(expected, key, message),
+    assert_assigned_equal(expected, key, message) to test the contents of flash, session, and template assigns.
+
+*   Improved the failure report on assert_success when the action triggered a redirection *alexey*.
+
+*   Added "markdown" to accompany "textilize" as a TextHelper method for converting text to HTML using the Markdown syntax.
+    BlueCloth must be installed in order for this method to become available.
+
+*   Made sure that an active session exists before we attempt to delete it *Samuel*
+
+*   Changed link_to with Javascript confirmation to use onclick instead of onClick for XHTML validity *Scott Barron*
+
+
+## 0.9.0 (43) ##
+
+*   Added support for Builder-based templates for files with the .rxml extension. These new templates are an alternative to ERb that
+    are especially useful for generating XML content, such as this RSS example from Basecamp:
+
+        xml.rss("version" => "2.0", "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/") do
+          xml.channel do
+            xml.title(@feed_title)
+            xml.link(@url)
+            xml.description "Basecamp: Recent items"
+            xml.language "en-us"
+            xml.ttl "40"
+
+            for item in @recent_items
+              xml.item do
+                xml.title(item_title(item))
+                xml.description(item_description(item)) if item_description(item)
+                xml.pubDate(item_pubDate(item))
+                xml.guid(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
+                xml.link(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
+
+                xml.tag!("dc:creator", item.author_name) if item_has_creator?(item)
+              end
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+        ...which will generate something like:
+
+        <rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
+          <channel>

+
+    The "xml" local variable is automatically available in .rxml templates. You construct the template by calling a method with the name
+    of the tag you want. Options for the tag can be specified as a hash parameter to that method.
+
+    Builder-based templates can be mixed and matched with the regular ERb ones. The only thing that differentiates them is the extension.
+    No new methods have been added to the public interface to handle them.
+
+    Action Pack ships with a version of Builder, but it will use the RubyGems version if you have one installed.
+
+    Read more about Builder on: http://onestepback.org/index.cgi/Tech/Ruby/StayingSimple.rdoc
+
+    *Builder is created by Jim Weirich*
+
+*   Added much improved support for functional testing *what-a-day*.
+
+        # Old style
+        def test_failing_authenticate
+          @request.request_uri = "/login/authenticate"
+          @request.action = "authenticate"
+          @request.request_parameters["user_name"] = "nop"
+          @request.request_parameters["password"]  = ""
+
+          response = LoginController.process_test(@request)
+
+          assert_equal "The username and/or password you entered is invalid.", response.session["flash"]["alert"]
+          assert_equal "http://37signals.basecamp.com/login/", response.headers["location"]
+        end
+
+        # New style
+        def test_failing_authenticate
+          process :authenticate, "user_name" => "nop", "password" => ""
+          assert_flash_has 'alert'
+          assert_redirected_to :action => "index"
+        end
+
+    See a full example on http://codepaste.org/view/paste/334
+
+*   Increased performance by up to 100% with a revised cookie class that fixes the performance problems with the
+    default one that ships with 1.8.1 and below. It replaces the inheritance on SimpleDelegator with DelegateClass(Array)
+    following the suggestion from Matz on:
+    http://groups.google.com/groups?th=e3a4e68ba042f842&seekm=c3sioe%241qvm%241%40news.cybercity.dk#link14
+
+*   Added caching for compiled ERb templates. On Basecamp, it gave between 8.5% and 71% increase in performance *Andreas Schwarz*.
+
+*   Added implicit counter variable to render_collection_of_partials [Marcel Molina Jr.]. From the docs:
+
+        <%= render_collection_of_partials "ad", @advertisements %>
+
+        This will render "advertiser/_ad.rhtml" and pass the local variable +ad+ to the template for display. An iteration counter
+        will automatically be made available to the template with a name of the form +partial_name_counter+. In the case of the
+        example above, the template would be fed +ad_counter+.
+
+*   Fixed problems with two sessions being maintained on reset_session that would particularly screw up ActiveRecordStore.
+
+*   Fixed reset_session to start an entirely new session instead of merely deleting the old. So you can now safely access @session
+    after calling reset_ression and expect it to work.
+
+*   Added @request.get?, @request.post?, @request.put?, @request.delete? as convenience query methods for @request.method *geech*
+
+*   Added @request.method that'll return a symbol representing the HTTP method, such as :get, :post, :put, :delete *geech*
+
+*   Changed @request.remote_ip and @request.host to work properly even when a proxy is in front of the application *geech*
+
+*   Added JavaScript confirm feature to link_to. Documentation:
+
+        The html_options have a special feature for creating javascript confirm alerts where if you pass
+        :confirm => 'Are you sure?', the link will be guarded with a JS popup asking that question.
+        If the user accepts, the link is processed, otherwise not.
+
+*   Added link_to_unless_current as a UrlHelper method *Sam Stephenson*. Documentation:
+
+        Creates a link tag of the given +name+ using an URL created by the set of +options+, unless the current
+        controller, action, and id are the same as the link's, in which case only the name is returned (or the
+        given block is yielded, if one exists). This is useful for creating link bars where you don't want to link
+        to the page currently being viewed.
+
+*   Fixed that UrlRewriter (the driver for url_for, link_to, etc) would blow up when the anchor was an integer *alexey*
+
+*   Added that layouts defined with no directory defaults to layouts. So layout "weblog/standard" will use
+    weblog/standard (as always), but layout "standard" will use layouts/standard.
+
+*   Fixed that partials (or any template starting with an underscore) was publically viewable *Marten*
+
+*   Added HTML escaping to text_area helper.
+
+*   Added :overwrite_params to url_for and friends to keep the parameters as they were passed to the current action and only overwrite a subset.
+    The regular :params will clear the slate so you need to manually add in existing parameters if you want to reuse them. *raphinou*
+
+*   Fixed scaffolding problem with composite named objects *Moo Jester*
+
+*   Added the possibility for shared partials. Example:
+
+        <%= render_partial "advertisement/ad", ad %>
+
+    This will render the partial "advertisement/_ad.rhtml" regardless of which controller this is being called from.
+
+    *Jacob Fugal*
+
+*   Fixed crash when encountering forms that have empty-named fields *James Prudente*
+
+*   Added check_box form helper method now accepts true/false as well as 1/0 *what-a-day*
+
+*   Fixed the lacking creation of all directories with install.rb *Dave Steinberg*
+
+*   Fixed that date_select returns valid XHTML selected options *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Fixed referencing an action with the same name as a controller in url_for *what-a-day*
+
+*   Fixed the destructive nature of Base#attributes= on the argument *Kevin Watt*
+
+*   Changed ActionControllerError to decent from StandardError instead of Exception. It can now be caught by a generic rescue.
+
+*   Added SessionRestoreError that is raised when a session being restored holds objects where there is no class available.
+
+*   Added block as option for inline filters. So what used to be written as:
+
+        before_filter Proc { |controller| return false if controller.params["stop_action"] }
+
+    ...can now be as:
+
+        before_filter { |controller| return false if controller.params["stop_action"] }
+
+    *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Made the following methods public (was protected): url_for, controller_class_name, controller_name, action_name
+    This makes it easier to write filters without cheating around the encapsulation with send.
+
+*   ActionController::Base#reset_session now sticks even if you access @session afterwards *Kent Sibilev*
+
+*   Improved the exception logging so the log file gets almost as much as in-browser debugging.
+
+*   Changed base class setup from AbstractTemplate/ERbTemplate to ActionView::Base. This change should be harmless unless you were
+    accessing Action View directly in which case you now need to reference the Base class.\
+
+*   Added that render_collection_of_partials returns nil if the collection is empty. This makes showing a “no items” message easier.
+    For example: <%= render_collection_of_partials("message", @messages) || "No messages found." %> *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Added :month_before_year as an option to date_select to get the month select before the year. Especially useful for credit card forms.
+
+*   Added :add_month_numbers to select_month to get options like "3 - March".
+
+*   Removed Base.has_active_layout? as it couldn't answer the question without the instance. Use Base#active_layout instead.
+
+*   Removed redundant call to update on ActionController::Base#close_session *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Fixed that DRb Store accidently started its own server (instead of just client) *Andreas*
+
+*   Fixed strip_links so it now works across multiple lines *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Fixed the TemplateError exception to show the proper trace on to_s (useful for unit test debugging)
+
+*   Implemented class inheritable attributes without eval *Caio Chassot*
+
+*   Made TextHelper#concat accept binding as it would otherwise not work
+
+*   The FormOptionsHelper will now call to_s on the keys and values used to generate options
+
+
+## 0.8.5 ##
+
+*   Introduced passing of locally scoped variables between templates:
+
+        You can pass local variables to sub templates by using a hash of with the variable
+        names as keys and the objects as values:
+
+          <%= render "shared/header", { "headline" => "Welcome", "person" => person } %>
+
+        These can now be accessed in shared/header with:
+
+          Headline: <%= headline %>
+          First name: <%= person.first_name %>
+
+*   Introduced the concept of partials as a certain type of sub templates:
+
+        There's also a convenience method for rendering sub templates within the current
+        controller that depends on a single object (we call this kind of sub templates for
+        partials). It relies on the fact that partials should follow the naming convention
+        of being prefixed with an underscore -- as to separate them from regular templates
+        that could be rendered on their own. In the template for Advertiser#buy, we could have:
+
+          <% for ad in @advertisements %>
+            <%= render_partial "ad", ad %>
+          <% end %>
+
+        This would render "advertiser/_ad.rhtml" and pass the local variable +ad+
+        for the template to display.
+
+        == Rendering a collection of partials
+
+        The example of partial use describes a familar pattern where a template needs
+        to iterate over a array and render a sub template for each of the elements.
+        This pattern has been implemented as a single method that accepts an array and
+        renders a partial by the same name of as the elements contained within. So the
+        three-lined example in "Using partials" can be rewritten with a single line:
+
+          <%= render_collection_of_partials "ad", @advertisements %>
+
+        So this will render "advertiser/_ad.rhtml" and pass the local variable +ad+ for
+        the template to display.
+
+*   Improved send_file by allowing a wide range of options to be applied *Jeremy Kemper*:
+
+        Sends the file by streaming it 4096 bytes at a time. This way the
+        whole file doesn't need to be read into memory at once.  This makes
+        it feasible to send even large files.
+
+        Be careful to sanitize the path parameter if it coming from a web
+        page.  send_file(@params['path'] allows a malicious user to
+        download any file on your server.
+
+        Options:
+        * <tt>:filename</tt> - specifies the filename the browser will see.
+          Defaults to File.basename(path).
+        * <tt>:type</tt> - specifies an HTTP content type.
+          Defaults to 'application/octet-stream'.
+        * <tt>:disposition</tt> - specifies whether the file will be shown inline or downloaded.
+          Valid values are 'inline' and 'attachment' (default).
+        * <tt>:buffer_size</tt> - specifies size (in bytes) of the buffer used to stream
+          the file.  Defaults to 4096.
+
+        The default Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers are
+        set to download arbitrary binary files in as many browsers as
+        possible.  IE versions 4, 5, 5.5, and 6 are all known to have
+        a variety of quirks (especially when downloading over SSL).
+
+        Simple download:
+          send_file '/path/to.zip'
+
+        Show a JPEG in browser:
+          send_file '/path/to.jpeg', :type => 'image/jpeg', :disposition => 'inline'
+
+        Read about the other Content-* HTTP headers if you'd like to
+        provide the user with more information (such as Content-Description).
+        http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.11
+
+        Also be aware that the document may be cached by proxies and browsers.
+        The Pragma and Cache-Control headers declare how the file may be cached
+        by intermediaries.  They default to require clients to validate with
+        the server before releasing cached responses.  See
+        http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/ for an overview of web caching and
+        http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.9
+        for the Cache-Control header spec.
+
+*   Added pluralize method to the TextHelper that makes it easy to get strings like "1 message", "3 messages"
+
+*   Added proper escaping for the rescues *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Added proper escaping for the option and collection tags *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Fixed NaN errors on benchmarking *Jim Weirich*
+
+*   Fixed query string parsing for URLs that use the escaped versions of & or ; as part of a key or value
+
+*   Fixed bug with custom Content-Type headers being in addition to rather than instead of the default header.
+    (This bug didn't matter with neither CGI or mod_ruby, but FCGI exploded on it) *With help from Ara T. Howard*
+
+
+## 0.8.0 ##
+
+*   Added select, collection_select, and country_select to make it easier for Active Records to set attributes through
+    drop-down lists of options. Example:
+
+        <%= select "person", "gender", %w( Male Female ) %>
+
+    ...would give the following:
+
+        <select name="person[gender]" id="person_gender"><option>Male</option><option>Female</option></select>
+
+*   Added an option for getting multiple values on a single form name into an array instead of having the last one overwrite.
+    This is especially useful for groups of checkboxes, which can now be written as:
+
+        <input type="checkbox" name="rights[]" value="CREATE" />
+        <input type="checkbox" name="rights[]" value="UPDATE" />
+        <input type="checkbox" name="rights[]" value="DELETE" />
+
+    ...and retrieved in the controller action with:
+
+        @params["rights"] # => [ "CREATE", "UPDATE", "DELETE" ]
+
+    The old behavior (where the last one wins, "DELETE" in the example) is still available. Just don't add "[]" to the
+    end of the name. *Scott Baron*
+
+*   Added send_file which uses the new render_text block acceptance to make it feasible to send large files.
+    The files is sent with a bunch of voodoo HTTP headers required to get arbitrary files to download as
+    expected in as many browsers as possible (eg, IE hacks). Example:
+
+    def play_movie
+        send_file "/movies/that_movie.avi"
+    end
+
+    *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   render_text now accepts a block for deferred rendering. Useful for streaming large files, displaying
+    a “please wait” message during a complex search, etc. Streaming example:
+
+        render_text do |response|
+          File.open(path, 'rb') do |file|
+            while buf = file.read(1024)
+              print buf
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+    *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added a new Tag Helper that can generate generic tags programmatically insted of through HTML. Example:
+
+        tag("br", "clear" => "all") => <br clear="all" />
+
+    ...that's usually not terribly interesting (unless you have a lot of options already in a hash), but it
+    gives way for more specific tags, like the new form tag:
+
+        form_tag({ :controller => "weblog", :action => "update" }, { :multipart => "true", "style" => "width: 200px"}) =>
+          <form action="/weblog/update" enctype="multipart/formdata" style="width: 200px">
+
+    There's even a "pretty" version for people who don't like to open tags in code and close them in HTML:
+
+        <%= start_form_tag :action => "update" %>
+          # all the input fields
+        <%= end_form_tag %>
+
+    (end_form_tag just returns "</form>")
+
+*   The selected parameter in options_for_select may now also an array of values to be selected when
+    using a multiple select. Example:
+
+        options_for_select([ "VISA", "Mastercard", "Discover" ], ["VISA", "Discover"]) =>
+          <option selected>VISA</option>\n<option>Mastercard</option>\n<option selected>Discover</option>
+
+    *Scott Baron*
+
+*   Changed the URL rewriter so controller_prefix and action_prefix can be used in isolation. You can now do:
+
+        url_for(:controller_prefix => "clients")
+
+    ...or:
+
+        url_for(:action_prefix => "category/messages")
+
+    Neither would have worked in isolation before (:controller_prefix required a :controller and :action_prefix required an :action)
+
+*   Started process of a cleaner separation between Action Controller and ERb-based Action Views by introducing an
+    abstract base class for views. And Amita adapter could be fitted in more easily now.
+
+*   The date helper methods date_select and datetime_select now also use the field error wrapping
+    (div with class fieldWithErrors by default).
+
+*   The date helper methods date_select and datetime_select can now discard selects
+
+*   Added option on AbstractTemplate to specify a different field error wrapping. Example:
+
+        ActionView::AbstractTemplate.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html, instance|
+          "<p>#{instance.method_name + instance.error_message}</p><div style='background-color: red'>#{html}</div>"
+        end
+
+    ...would give the following on a Post#title (text field) error:
+
+        <p>Title can't be empty</p>
+        <div style='background-color: red'>
+          <input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="Hello World" />
+        </div>
+
+*   The UrlHelper methods url_for and link_to will now by default only return paths, not complete URIs.
+    That should make it easier to fit a Rails application behind a proxy or load-balancer.
+    You can overwrite this by passing :only_path => false as part of the options. *Suggested by U235*
+
+*   Fixed bug with having your own layout for use with scaffolding *Kevin Radloff*
+
+*   Fixed bug where redirect_to_path didn't append the port on non-standard ports *dhawkins*
+
+*   Scaffolding plays nicely with single-table inheritance (LoadErrors are caught) *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Scaffolding plays nice with plural models like Category/categories *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed missing suffix appending in scaffolding *Kevin Radloff*
+
+
+## 0.7.9 ##
+
+*   The "form" method now present boolean fields from PostgreSQL as drop-down menu. *Scott*
+
+*   Scaffolding now automatically attempts to require the class that's being scaffolded.
+
+*   Scaffolding will use the current active layout, instead of its own, if one has been specified. Example:
+
+        class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+          layout "layouts/weblog"
+          scaffold :post
+        end
+
+    *Suggested by Scott*
+
+*   Changed url_for (and all the that drives, like redirect_to, link_to, link_for) so you can pass it a symbol instead of a hash.
+    This symbol is a method reference which is then called to calculate the url. Example:
+
+        class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+          def update
+            # do some update
+            redirect_to :dashboard_url
+          end
+
+          protected
+            def dashboard_url
+              if @project.active?
+                url_for :controller => "project", :action => "dashboard"
+              else
+                url_for :controller => "account", :action => "dashboard"
+              end
+            end
+        end
+
+*   Added default_url_options to specialize behavior for all url_for (and friends) calls:
+
+        Overwrite to implement a number of default options that all url_for-based methods will use.
+        The default options should come in form of a hash, just like the one you would use for
+        url_for directly. Example:
+
+          def default_url_options(options)
+            { :controller_prefix => @project.active? ? "projects/" : "accounts/" }
+          end
+
+        As you can infer from the example, this is mostly useful for situations where you want to
+        centralize dynamic dissions about the urls as they stem from the business domain. Please note
+        that any individual url_for call can always override the defaults set by this method.
+
+
+*   Changed url_for so that an "id" passed in the :params is not treated special. You need to use the dedicated :id to get
+    the special auto path-params treatment. Considering the url http://localhost:81/friends/list
+
+        url_for(:action => "show", :params => { "id" => 5 })
+          ...used to give http://localhost:81/friends/show/5
+          ......now gives http://localhost:81/friends/show?id=5
+
+        If you want the automated id behavior, do:
+
+        url_for(:action => "show", :id => 5 )
+          ....which gives http://localhost:81/friends/show/5
+
+
+*   Fixed problem with anchor being inserted before path parameters with url_for (and friends)
+
+
+## 0.7.8 ##
+
+*   Fixed session bug where you couldn't store any objects that didn't exist in the standard library
+    (such as Active Record objects).
+
+*   Added reset_session method for Action Controller objects to clear out all objects in the session.
+
+*   Fixed that exceptions raised during filters are now also caught by the default rescues
+
+*   Added new around_filter for doing before and after filtering with a single object *Florian Weber*:
+
+        class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+          around_filter BenchmarkingFilter.new
+
+          # Before this action is performed, BenchmarkingFilter#before(controller) is executed
+          def index
+          end
+          # After this action has been performed, BenchmarkingFilter#after(controller) is executed
+        end
+
+        class BenchmarkingFilter
+          def initialize
+            @runtime
+          end
+
+          def before
+            start_timer
+          end
+
+          def after
+            stop_timer
+            report_result
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Added the options for specifying a different name and id for the form helper methods than what is guessed *Florian Weber*:
+
+        text_field "post", "title"
+          ...just gives: <input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="" />
+
+        text_field "post", "title", "id" => "title_for_post", "name" => "first_post_title"
+          ...can now give: <input id="title_for_post" name="first_post_title" size="30" type="text" value="" />
+
+*   Added DebugHelper with a single "debug" method for doing pretty dumps of objects in the view
+    (now used in the default rescues to better present the contents of session and template variables)
+
+*   Added note to log about the templates rendered within layouts (before just the layout was shown)
+
+*   Fixed redirects on https setups *Andreas*
+
+*   Fixed scaffolding problem on the edit action when using :suffix => true *Scott*
+
+*   Fixed scaffolding problem where implementing list.rhtml wouldn't work for the index action
+
+*   URLs generated now uses &amp; instead of just & so pages using it can validate with W3C *Spotted by Andreas*
+
+
+## 0.7.7 ##
+
+*   Fixed bug in CGI extension that prevented multipart forms from working
+
+
+## 0.7.6 ##
+
+*   Included ERB::Util so all templates can easily escape HTML content with <%=h @person.content %>
+
+*   All requests are now considered local by default, so everyone will be exposed to detailed debugging screens on errors.
+    When the application is ready to go public, set ActionController::Base.consider_all_requests_local to false,
+    and implement the protected method local_request? in the controller to determine when debugging screens should be shown.
+
+*   Fixed three bugs with the url_for/redirect_to/link_to handling. Considering the url http://localhost:81/friends/show/1
+
+        url_for(:action => "list")
+          ...used to give http://localhost:81/friends/list/1
+          ......now gives http://localhost:81/friends/list
+
+        url_for(:controller => "friends", :action => "destroy", :id => 5)
+          ...used to give http://localhost:81/friends/destroy
+          ......now gives http://localhost:81/friends/destroy/5
+
+    Considering the url http://localhost:81/teachers/show/t
+
+        url_for(:action => "list", :id => 5)
+          ...used to give http://localhost:81/5eachers/list/t
+          ......now gives http://localhost:81/teachers/list/5
+
+    *Reported by David Morton & Radsaq*
+
+*   Logs exception to logfile in addition to showing them for local requests
+
+*   Protects the eruby load behind a begin/rescue block. eRuby is not required to run ActionController.
+
+*   Fixed install.rb to also install clean_logger and the templates
+
+*   Added ActiveRecordStore as a session option. Read more in lib/action_controller/session/active_record_store.rb *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Change license to MIT License (and included license file in package)
+
+*   Application error page now returns status code 500 instead of 200
+
+*   Fixed using Procs as layout handlers *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Fixed bug with using redirects ports other than 80
+
+*   Added index method that calls list on scaffolding
+
+
+## 0.7.5 ##
+

-*Rails 3.2.0 (unreleased)*
-
-* In development mode the db:drop task also drops the test database. For symmetry with
-  the db:create task. [Dmitriy Kiriyenko]
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Base.store for declaring simple single-column key/value stores [DHH]
-
-    class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-      store :settings, accessors: [ :color, :homepage ]
-    end
-    
-    u = User.new(color: 'black', homepage: '37signals.com')
-    u.color                          # Accessor stored attribute
-    u.settings[:country] = 'Denmark' # Any attribute, even if not specified with an accessor
-
-
-* MySQL: case-insensitive uniqueness validation avoids calling LOWER when
-  the column already uses a case-insensitive collation. Fixes #561.
-
-  [Joseph Palermo]
-
-* Transactional fixtures enlist all active database connections. You can test
-  models on different connections without disabling transactional fixtures.
-
-  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add first_or_create, first_or_create!, first_or_initialize methods to Active Record. This is a
-  better approach over the old find_or_create_by dynamic methods because it's clearer which
-  arguments are used to find the record and which are used to create it:
-
-    User.where(:first_name => "Scarlett").first_or_create!(:last_name => "Johansson")
-
-  [Andrés Mejía]
-
-* Fix nested attributes bug where _destroy parameter is taken into account
-  during :reject_if => :all_blank (fixes #2937)
-
-  [Aaron Christy]
-
-*Rails 3.1.1 (October 7, 2011)*
-
-* Add deprecation for the preload_associations method. Fixes #3022.
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* Don't require a DB connection when loading a model that uses set_primary_key. GH #2807.
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* Fix using select() with a habtm association, e.g. Person.friends.select(:name). GH #3030 and
-  #2923.
-
-  [Hendy Tanata]
-
-* Fix belongs_to polymorphic with custom primary key on target. GH #3104.
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* CollectionProxy#replace should change the DB records rather than just mutating the array.
-  Fixes #3020.
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* LRU cache in mysql and sqlite are now per-process caches.
-
-	* lib/active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb: LRU cache
-	  keys are per process id.
-	* lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite_adapter.rb: ditto
-
-  [Aaron Patterson]
-
-* Support bulk change_table in mysql2 adapter, as well as the mysql one. [Jon Leighton]
-
-* If multiple parameters are sent representing a date, and some are blank, the
-resulting object is nil. In previous releases those values defaulted to 1. This
-only affects existing but blank parameters, missing ones still raise an error.
-[Akira Matsuda]
-
-* ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection now takes a string that contains
-a URI that specifies the connection configuration.  For example:
-
-    ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection 'postgres://localhost/foo'
-
-* Active Record's dynamic finder will now raise the error if you passing in less number of arguments than what you call in method signature.
-
-  So if you were doing this and expecting the second argument to be nil:
-
-    User.find_by_username_and_group("sikachu")
-
-  You'll now get `ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2).` You'll then have to do this:
-
-    User.find_by_username_and_group("sikachu", nil)
-
-  [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-
-*Rails 3.1.0 (August 30, 2011)*
-
-* Add a proxy_association method to association proxies, which can be called by association
-  extensions to access information about the association. This replaces proxy_owner etc with
-  proxy_association.owner.
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* ActiveRecord::MacroReflection::AssociationReflection#build_record has a new method signature.
-
-  Before: def build_association(*options)
-  After:  def build_association(*options, &block)
-
-  Users who are redefining this method to extend functionality should ensure that the block is
-  passed through to ActiveRecord::Base#new.
-
-  This change is necessary to fix https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/1842.
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* AR#pluralize_table_names can be used to singularize/pluralize table name of an individual model:
-
-    class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-      self.pluralize_table_names = false
-    end
-
-  Previously this could only be set globally for all models through ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names. [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-* Add block setting of attributes to singular associations:
-
-    class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_one :account
-    end
-
-    user.build_account{ |a| a.credit_limit => 100.0 }
-
-  The block is called after the instance has been initialized. [Andrew White]
-
-* Add ActiveRecord::Base.attribute_names to return a list of attribute names. This will return an empty array if the model is abstract or table does not exists. [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-* CSV Fixtures are deprecated and support will be removed in Rails 3.2.0
-
-* AR#new, AR#create, AR#create!, AR#update_attributes and AR#update_attributes! all accept a second hash as option that allows you
-  to specify which role to consider when assigning attributes. This is built on top of ActiveModel's
-  new mass assignment capabilities:
-
-    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-      attr_accessible :title
-      attr_accessible :title, :published_at, :as => :admin
-    end
-
-    Post.new(params[:post], :as => :admin)
-
-  assign_attributes() with similar API was also added and attributes=(params, guard) was deprecated.
-
-  Please note that this changes the method signatures for AR#new, AR#create, AR#create!, AR#update_attributes and AR#update_attributes!. If you have overwritten these methods you should update them accordingly.
-
-  [Josh Kalderimis]
-
-* default_scope can take a block, lambda, or any other object which responds to `call` for lazy
-  evaluation:
-
-    default_scope { ... }
-    default_scope lambda { ... }
-    default_scope method(:foo)
-
-  This feature was originally implemented by Tim Morgan, but was then removed in favour of
-  defining a 'default_scope' class method, but has now been added back in by Jon Leighton.
-  The relevant lighthouse ticket is #1812.
-
-* Default scopes are now evaluated at the latest possible moment, to avoid problems where
-  scopes would be created which would implicitly contain the default scope, which would then
-  be impossible to get rid of via Model.unscoped.
-
-  Note that this means that if you are inspecting the internal structure of an
-  ActiveRecord::Relation, it will *not* contain the default scope, though the resulting
-  query will do. You can get a relation containing the default scope by calling
-  ActiveRecord#with_default_scope, though this is not part of the public API.
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* If you wish to merge default scopes in special ways, it is recommended to define your default
-  scope as a class method and use the standard techniques for sharing code (inheritance, mixins,
-  etc.):
-
-    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-      def self.default_scope
-        where(:published => true).where(:hidden => false)
-      end
-    end
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* PostgreSQL adapter only supports PostgreSQL version 8.2 and higher.
-
-* ConnectionManagement middleware is changed to clean up the connection pool
-  after the rack body has been flushed.
-
-* Added an update_column method on ActiveRecord. This new method updates a given attribute on an object, skipping validations and callbacks.
-  It is recommended to use #update_attribute unless you are sure you do not want to execute any callback, including the modification of
-  the updated_at column. It should not be called on new records.
-  Example:
-
-    User.first.update_column(:name, "sebastian")         # => true
-
-  [Sebastian Martinez]
-
-* Associations with a :through option can now use *any* association as the
-  through or source association, including other associations which have a
-  :through option and has_and_belongs_to_many associations
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* The configuration for the current database connection is now accessible via
-  ActiveRecord::Base.connection_config. [fxn]
-
-* limits and offsets are removed from COUNT queries unless both are supplied.
-  For example:
-
-    People.limit(1).count           # => 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM people'
-    People.offset(1).count          # => 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM people'
-    People.limit(1).offset(1).count # => 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM people LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1'
-
-  [lighthouse #6262]
-
-* ActiveRecord::Associations::AssociationProxy has been split. There is now an Association class
-  (and subclasses) which are responsible for operating on associations, and then a separate,
-  thin wrapper called CollectionProxy, which proxies collection associations.
-
-  This prevents namespace pollution, separates concerns, and will allow further refactorings.
-
-  Singular associations (has_one, belongs_to) no longer have a proxy at all. They simply return
-  the associated record or nil. This means that you should not use undocumented methods such
-  as bob.mother.create - use bob.create_mother instead.
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* Make has_many :through associations work correctly when you build a record and then save it. This
-  requires you to set the :inverse_of option on the source reflection on the join model, like so:
-
-  class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-    has_many :taggings
-    has_many :tags, :through => :taggings
-  end
-
-  class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
-    belongs_to :post
-    belongs_to :tag, :inverse_of => :tagging # :inverse_of must be set!
-  end
-
-  class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
-    has_many :taggings
-    has_many :posts, :through => :taggings
-  end
-
-  post = Post.first
-  tag = post.tags.build :name => "ruby"
-  tag.save # will save a Taggable linking to the post
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* Support the :dependent option on has_many :through associations. For historical and practical
-  reasons, :delete_all is the default deletion strategy employed by association.delete(*records),
-  despite the fact that the default strategy is :nullify for regular has_many. Also, this only
-  works at all if the source reflection is a belongs_to. For other situations, you should directly
-  modify the through association.
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* Changed the behaviour of association.destroy for has_and_belongs_to_many and has_many :through.
-  From now on, 'destroy' or 'delete' on an association will be taken to mean 'get rid of the link',
-  not (necessarily) 'get rid of the associated records'.
-
-  Previously, has_and_belongs_to_many.destroy(*records) would destroy the records themselves. It
-  would not delete any records in the join table. Now, it deletes the records in the join table.
-
-  Previously, has_many_through.destroy(*records) would destroy the records themselves, and the
-  records in the join table. [Note: This has not always been the case; previous version of Rails
-  only deleted the records themselves.] Now, it destroys only the records in the join table.
-
-  Note that this change is backwards-incompatible to an extent, but there is unfortunately no
-  way to 'deprecate' it before changing it. The change is being made in order to have
-  consistency as to the meaning of 'destroy' or 'delete' across the different types of associations.
-
-  If you wish to destroy the records themselves, you can do records.association.each(&:destroy)
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* Add :bulk => true option to change_table to make all the schema changes defined in change_table block using a single ALTER statement. [Pratik Naik]
-
-  Example:
-
-  change_table(:users, :bulk => true) do |t|
-    t.string :company_name
-    t.change :birthdate, :datetime
-  end
-
-  This will now result in:
-
-    ALTER TABLE `users` ADD COLUMN `company_name` varchar(255), CHANGE `updated_at` `updated_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL
-
-* Removed support for accessing attributes on a has_and_belongs_to_many join table. This has been
-  documented as deprecated behaviour since April 2006. Please use has_many :through instead.
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* Added a create_association! method for has_one and belongs_to associations. [Jon Leighton]
-
-* Migration files generated from model and constructive migration generators
-  (for example, add_name_to_users) use the reversible migration's `change`
-  method instead of the ordinary `up` and `down` methods. [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-* Removed support for interpolating string SQL conditions on associations. Instead, you should
-  use a proc, like so:
-
-  Before:
-
-    has_many :things, :conditions => 'foo = #{bar}'
-
-  After:
-
-    has_many :things, :conditions => proc { "foo = #{bar}" }
-
-  Inside the proc, 'self' is the object which is the owner of the association, unless you are
-  eager loading the association, in which case 'self' is the class which the association is within.
-
-  You can have any "normal" conditions inside the proc, so the following will work too:
-
-    has_many :things, :conditions => proc { ["foo = ?", bar] }
-
-  Previously :insert_sql and :delete_sql on has_and_belongs_to_many association allowed you to call
-  'record' to get the record being inserted or deleted. This is now passed as an argument to
-  the proc.
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Base#has_secure_password (via ActiveModel::SecurePassword) to encapsulate dead-simple password usage with BCrypt encryption and salting [DHH]. Example:
-
-    # Schema: User(name:string, password_digest:string, password_salt:string)
-    class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_secure_password
-    end
-
-    user = User.new(:name => "david", :password => "", :password_confirmation => "nomatch")
-    user.save                                                      # => false, password required
-    user.password = "mUc3m00RsqyRe"
-    user.save                                                      # => false, confirmation doesn't match
-    user.password_confirmation = "mUc3m00RsqyRe"
-    user.save                                                      # => true
-    user.authenticate("notright")                                  # => false
-    user.authenticate("mUc3m00RsqyRe")                             # => user
-    User.find_by_name("david").try(:authenticate, "notright")      # => nil
-    User.find_by_name("david").try(:authenticate, "mUc3m00RsqyRe") # => user
-
-
-* When a model is generated add_index is added by default for belongs_to or references columns
-
-  rails g model post user:belongs_to will generate the following:
-
-    class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
-      def up
-        create_table :posts do |t|
-          t.belongs_to :user
-          t.timestamps
-        end
-
-        add_index :posts, :user_id
-      end
-
-      def down
-        drop_table :posts
-      end
-    end
-
-  [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Setting the id of a belongs_to object will update the reference to the
-object. [#2989 state:resolved]
-
-* ActiveRecord::Base#dup and ActiveRecord::Base#clone semantics have changed
-to closer match normal Ruby dup and clone semantics.
-
-* Calling ActiveRecord::Base#clone will result in a shallow copy of the record,
-including copying the frozen state.  No callbacks will be called.
-
-* Calling ActiveRecord::Base#dup will duplicate the record, including calling
-after initialize hooks.  Frozen state will not be copied, and all associations
-will be cleared.  A duped record will return true for new_record?, have a nil
-id field, and is saveable.
-
-* Migrations can be defined as reversible, meaning that the migration system
-will figure out how to reverse your migration.  To use reversible migrations,
-just define the "change" method.  For example:
-
-    class MyMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration
-      def change
-        create_table(:horses) do
-          t.column :content, :text
-          t.column :remind_at, :datetime
-        end
-      end
-    end
-
-Some things cannot be automatically reversed for you.  If you know how to
-reverse those things, you should define 'up' and 'down' in your migration.  If
-you define something in `change` that cannot be reversed, an
-IrreversibleMigration exception will be raised when going down.
-
-* Migrations should use instance methods rather than class methods:
-    class FooMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration
-      def up
-        ...
-      end
-    end
-
-  [Aaron Patterson]
-
-* has_one maintains the association with separate after_create/after_update instead
-  of a single after_save. [fxn]
-
-* The following code:
-
-    Model.limit(10).scoping { Model.count }
-
-  now generates the following SQL:
-
-    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM models LIMIT 10
-
-  This may not return what you want.  Instead, you may with to do something
-  like this:
-
-    Model.limit(10).scoping { Model.all.size }
-
-  [Aaron Patterson]
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.7 (April 18, 2011)*
-
-* Destroying records via nested attributes works independent of reject_if LH #6006 [Durran Jordan]
-
-* Delegate any? and many? to Model.scoped for consistency [Andrew White]
-
-* Quote the ORDER BY clause in batched finds - fixes #6620 [Andrew White]
-
-* Change exists? so records are not instantiated - fixes #6127. This prevents after_find
-  and after_initialize callbacks being triggered when checking for record existence.
-  [Andrew White]
-
-* Fix performance bug with attribute accessors which only occurred on Ruby 1.8.7, and ensure we
-  cache type-casted values when the column returned from the db contains non-standard chars.
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-* Fix a performance regression introduced here 86acbf1cc050c8fa8c74a10c735e467fb6fd7df8
-  related to read_attribute method [Stian Grytøyr]
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.6 (April 5, 2011)*
-
-* Un-deprecate reorder method [Sebastian Martinez]
-
-* Extensions are applied when calling +except+ or +only+ on relations.
-  Thanks to Iain Hecker.
-
-* Schemas set in set_table_name are respected by the mysql adapter. LH #5322
-
-* Fixed a bug when empty? was called on a grouped Relation that wasn't loaded.
-  LH #5829
-
-* Reapply extensions when using except and only. Thanks Iain Hecker.
-
-* Binary data is escaped when being inserted to SQLite3 Databases. Thanks
-  Naruse!
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.5 (February 26, 2011)*
-
-* Model.where(:column => 1).where(:column => 2) will always produce an AND
-query.
-
-  [Aaron Patterson]
-
-* Deprecated support for interpolated association conditions in the form of :conditions => 'foo = #{bar}'.
-
-  Instead, you should use a proc, like so:
-
-  Before:
-
-    has_many :things, :conditions => 'foo = #{bar}'
-
-  After:
-
-    has_many :things, :conditions => proc { "foo = #{bar}" }
-
-  Inside the proc, 'self' is the object which is the owner of the association, unless you are
-  eager loading the association, in which case 'self' is the class which the association is within.
-
-  You can have any "normal" conditions inside the proc, so the following will work too:
-
-    has_many :things, :conditions => proc { ["foo = ?", bar] }
-
-  Previously :insert_sql and :delete_sql on has_and_belongs_to_many association allowed you to call
-  'record' to get the record being inserted or deleted. This is now passed as an argument to
-  the proc.
-
-  [Jon Leighton]
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.4 (February 8, 2011)*
-
-* Added deprecation warning for has_and_belongs_to_many associations where the join table has
-  additional attributes other than the keys. Access to these attributes is removed in 3.1.
-  Please use has_many :through instead. [Jon Leighton]
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.3 (November 16, 2010)*
-
-* Support find by class like this: Post.where(:name => Post)
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.2 (November 15, 2010)*
-
-* Dramatic speed increase (see: http://engineering.attinteractive.com/2010/10/arel-two-point-ohhhhh-yaaaaaa/) [Aaron Patterson]
-
-* reorder is deprecated in favor of except(:order).order(...) [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* except is now AR public API
-
-    Model.order('name').except(:order).order('salary')
-
-  generates:
-
-    SELECT * FROM models ORDER BY salary
-
-  [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* The following code:
-
-    Model.limit(10).scoping { Model.count }
-
-  now generates the following SQL:
-
-    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM models LIMIT 10
-
-  This may not return what you want.  Instead, you may with to do something
-  like this:
-
-    Model.limit(10).scoping { Model.all.size }
-
-  [Aaron Patterson]
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.1 (October 15, 2010)*
-
-* Introduce a fix for CVE-2010-3993
-
-
-*Rails 3.0.0 (August 29, 2010)*
-
-* Changed update_attribute to not run callbacks and update the record directly in the database [Neeraj Singh]
-
-* Add scoping and unscoped as the syntax to replace the old with_scope and with_exclusive_scope [José Valim]
-
-* New rake task, db:migrate:status, displays status of migrations #4947 [Kevin Skoglund]
-
-* select and order for ActiveRecord now always concatenate nested calls. Use reorder if you want the original order to be overwritten [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* PostgreSQL: ensure the database time zone matches Ruby's time zone #4895 [Aaron Patterson]
-
-* Fixed that ActiveRecord::Base.compute_type would swallow NoMethodError #4751 [Andrew Bloomgarden, Andrew White]
-
-* Add index length support for MySQL. #1852 [Emili Parreno, Pratik Naik]
-
-  Example:
-
-    add_index(:accounts, :name, :name => 'by_name', :length => 10)
-    => CREATE INDEX by_name ON accounts(name(10))
-
-    add_index(:accounts, [:name, :surname], :name => 'by_name_surname', :length => {:name => 10, :surname => 15})

-
-* Make sure has_many uses :include when counting [Jack Danger Canty]

-    end
-
-    validates_presence_of :identity_url, :if => using_open_id?
-    validates_presence_of :username, :unless => using_open_id?

-
-* Remove deprecated count(conditions=nil, joins=nil) usage.  Closes #8993 [Pratik Naik]

-
-  OLD
-    belongs_to :visitor, :class_name => 'User' # => inferred foreign_key is user_id
-
-  NEW
-    belongs_to :visitor, :class_name => 'User' # => inferred foreign_key is visitor_id
-
-* Remove spurious tests from deprecated_associations_test, most of these aren't deprecated, and are duplicated in associations_test.  Closes #8987 [Pratik Naik]
-
-* Make create! on a has_many :through association return the association object.  Not the collection.  Closes #8786 [Pratik Naik]
-
-* Move from select * to select tablename.* to avoid clobbering IDs. Closes #8889 [dasil003]

-
-* Migrations: add_column supports custom column types.  #7742 [jsgarvin, Theory]
-
-* Load database adapters on demand. Eliminates config.connection_adapters and RAILS_CONNECTION_ADAPTERS. Add your lib directory to the $LOAD_PATH and put your custom adapter in lib/active_record/connection_adapters/adaptername_adapter.rb. This way you can provide custom adapters as plugins or gems without modifying Rails. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Ensure that associations with :dependent => :delete_all respect :conditions option.  Closes #8034 [Jack Danger Canty, Josh Peek, Rick Olson]

-
-* Add documentation for :encoding option to mysql adapter. [marclove]
-
-* Added short-hand declaration style to migrations (inspiration from Sexy Migrations, http://errtheblog.com/post/2381) [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    create_table "products" do |t|
-      t.column "shop_id",    :integer
-      t.column "creator_id", :integer
-      t.column "name",       :string,   :default => "Untitled"
-      t.column "value",      :string,   :default => "Untitled"
-      t.column "created_at", :datetime
-      t.column "updated_at", :datetime
-    end

-
-    create_table :products do |t|
-      t.integer :shop_id, :creator_id
-      t.string  :name, :value, :default => "Untitled"
-      t.timestamps
-    end
-
-* Use association name for the wrapper element when using .to_xml.  Previous behavior lead to non-deterministic situations with STI and polymorphic associations. [Michael Koziarski, jstrachan]
-
-* Improve performance of calling .create on has_many :through associations. [evan]
-

-
-* Base#to_xml supports serialized attributes.  #7502 [jonathan]
-
-* Base.update_all :order and :limit options. Useful for MySQL updates that must be ordered to avoid violating unique constraints.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Remove deprecated object transactions.  People relying on this functionality should install the object_transactions plugin at http://code.bitsweat.net/svn/object_transactions.  Closes #5637 [Michael Koziarski, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* PostgreSQL: remove DateTime -> Time downcast. Warning: do not enable translate_results for the C bindings if you have timestamps outside Time's domain.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* find_or_create_by_* takes a hash so you can create with more attributes than are in the method name. For example, Person.find_or_create_by_name(:name => 'Henry', :comments => 'Hi new user!') is equivalent to Person.find_by_name('Henry') || Person.create(:name => 'Henry', :comments => 'Hi new user!').  #7368 [Josh Susser]
-
-* Make sure with_scope takes both :select and :joins into account when setting :readonly.  Allows you to save records you retrieve using method_missing on a has_many :through associations.  [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Allow a polymorphic :source for has_many :through associations.  Closes #7143 [protocool]
-
-* Consistent public/protected/private visibility for chained methods.  #7813 [Dan Manges]

-
-* Oracle: overflow Time to DateTime.  #7718 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* PostgreSQL: don't use async_exec and async_query with postgres-pr.  #7727, #7762 [flowdelic, toolmantim]
-
-* Fix has_many :through << with custom foreign keys.  #6466, #7153 [naffis, Rich Collins]
-

-during calendar reform.  #7649, #7724 [fedot, Geoff Buesing]
-
-* SQLServer: correctly schema-dump tables with no indexes or descending indexes.  #7333, #7703 [Jakob Skjerning, Tom Ward]
-
-* SQLServer: recognize real column type as Ruby float.  #7057 [sethladd, Tom Ward]
-
-* Added fixtures :all as a way of loading all fixtures in the fixture directory at once #7214 [Manfred Stienstra]
-
-* Added database connection as a yield parameter to ActiveRecord::Base.transaction so you can manually rollback [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    transaction do |transaction|
-      david.withdrawal(100)
-      mary.deposit(100)
-      transaction.rollback! # rolls back the transaction that was otherwise going to be successful
-    end
-
-* Made increment_counter/decrement_counter play nicely with optimistic locking, and added a more general update_counters method [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Reworked David's query cache to be available as Model.cache {...}. For the duration of the block no select query should be run more then once. Any inserts/deletes/executes will flush the whole cache however [Tobias Lütke]
-  Task.cache { Task.find(1); Task.find(1) } # => 1 query
-
-* When dealing with SQLite3, use the table_info pragma helper, so that the bindings can do some translation for when sqlite3 breaks incompatibly between point releases. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Oracle: fix lob and text default handling.  #7344 [gfriedrich, Michael Schoen]
-
-* SQLServer: don't choke on strings containing 'null'.  #7083 [Jakob Skjerning]
-
-* MySQL: blob and text columns may not have defaults in 5.x. Update fixtures schema for strict mode.  #6695 [Dan Kubb]
-
-* update_all can take a Hash argument. sanitize_sql splits into two methods for conditions and assignment since NULL values and delimiters are handled differently.  #6583, #7365 [sandofsky, Assaf]
-
-* MySQL: SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL=0 so 'where id is null' doesn't select the last inserted id.  #6778 [Jonathan Viney, timc]
-
-* Use Date#to_s(:db) for quoted dates.  #7411 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Don't create instance writer methods for class attributes.  Closes #7401 [Rick Olson]

-
-* [DOC] clear up some ambiguity with the way has_and_belongs_to_many creates the default join table name.  #7072 [Jeremy McAnally]
-
-* change_column accepts :default => nil. Skip column options for primary keys.  #6956, #7048 [Dan Manges, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* MySQL, PostgreSQL: change_column_default quotes the default value and doesn't lose column type information.  #3987, #6664 [Jonathan Viney, Manfred Stienstra, altano@bigfoot.com]
-
-* Oracle: create_table takes a :sequence_name option to override the 'tablename_seq' default.  #7000 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* MySQL: retain SSL settings on reconnect.  #6976 [randyv2]
-
-* Apply scoping during initialize instead of create.  Fixes setting of foreign key when using find_or_initialize_by with scoping. [Cody Fauser]
-
-* SQLServer: handle [quoted] table names.  #6635 [rrich]
-
-* acts_as_nested_set works with single-table inheritance.  #6030 [Josh Susser]

-
-* MySQL: detect when a NOT NULL column without a default value is misreported as default ''.  Can't detect for string, text, and binary columns since '' is a legitimate default.  #6156 [simon@redhillconsulting.com.au, obrie, Jonathan Viney, Jeremy Kemper]

-
-* Nested subclasses are not prefixed with the parent class' table_name since they should always use the base class' table_name.  #5911 [Jonathan Viney]

-
-* to_xml: correct naming of included associations.  #5831 [Josh Starcher]
-
-* Pushing a record onto a has_many :through sets the association's foreign key to the associate's primary key and adds it to the correct association.  #5815, #5829 [Josh Susser]
-
-* Add records to has_many :through using <<, push, and concat by creating the association record. Raise if base or associate are new records since both ids are required to create the association. #build raises since you can't associate an unsaved record. #create! takes an attributes hash and creates the associated record and its association in a transaction. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-    # Create a tagging to associate the post and tag.
-    post.tags << Tag.find_by_name('old')
-    post.tags.create! :name => 'general'
-
-    # Would have been:
-    post.taggings.create!(:tag => Tag.find_by_name('finally')
-    transaction do
-      post.taggings.create!(:tag => Tag.create!(:name => 'general'))
-    end
-

-    Example: Invoice::Lineitem is given table name invoice_lineitems
-
-* Migrations: uniquely name multicolumn indexes so you don't have to. [Jeremy Kemper]
-    # people_active_last_name_index, people_active_deactivated_at_index
-    add_index    :people, [:active, :last_name]
-    add_index    :people, [:active, :deactivated_at]
-    remove_index :people, [:active, :last_name]
-    remove_index :people, [:active, :deactivated_at]
-
-  WARNING: backward-incompatibility. Multicolumn indexes created before this
-  revision were named using the first column name only. Now they're uniquely
-  named using all indexed columns.
-
-  To remove an old multicolumn index, remove_index :table_name, :first_column
-
-* Fix for deep includes on the same association. [richcollins@gmail.com]
-
-* Tweak fixtures so they don't try to use a non-ActiveRecord class.  [Kevin Clark]

-
-* Fixed to_xml with :include misbehaviors when invoked on array of model instances #5690 [alexkwolfe@gmail.com]
-
-* Added support for conditions on Base.exists? #5689 [Josh Peek]. Examples:

-
-* SQLServer: fix db:schema:dump case-sensitivity. #4684 [Will Rogers]
-
-* Oracle: BigDecimal support. #5667 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Numeric and decimal columns map to BigDecimal instead of Float. Those with scale 0 map to Integer. #5454 [robbat2@gentoo.org, work@ashleymoran.me.uk]
-
-* Firebird migrations support. #5337 [Ken Kunz <kennethkunz@gmail.com>]
-

-
-* Oracle: use nonblocking queries if allow_concurrency is set, fix pessimistic locking, don't guess date vs. time by default (set OracleAdapter.emulate_dates = true for the old behavior), adapter cleanup. #5635 [Michael Schoen]

-* Fixed a few Oracle issues: Allows Oracle's odd date handling to still work consistently within #to_xml, Passes test that hardcode insert statement by dropping the :id column, Updated RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS with Oracle instructions, Corrects method signature for #exec #5294 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Added :group to available options for finds done on associations #5516 [mike@michaeldewey.org]

-
-* rake build_mysql_database grants permissions to rails@localhost. #5501 [brianegge@yahoo.com]
-
-* PostgreSQL: support microsecond time resolution. #5492 [alex@msgpad.com]
-
-* Add AssociationCollection#sum since the method_missing invokation has been shadowed by Enumerable#sum.
-
-* Added find_or_initialize_by_X which works like find_or_create_by_X but doesn't save the newly instantiated record. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Row locking. Provide a locking clause with the :lock finder option or true for the default "FOR UPDATE". Use the #lock! method to obtain a row lock on a single record (reloads the record with :lock => true). [Shugo Maeda]
-    # Obtain an exclusive lock on person 1 so we can safely increment visits.
-    Person.transaction do
-      # select * from people where id=1 for update

-      person.visits += 1
-      person.save!

-
-* Change AR::Base#to_param to return a String instead of a Fixnum. Closes #5320. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Use explicit delegation instead of method aliasing for AR::Base.to_param -> AR::Base.id. #5299 (skaes@web.de)
-
-* Refactored ActiveRecord::Base.to_xml to become a delegate for XmlSerializer, which restores sanity to the mega method. This refactoring also reinstates the opinions that type="string" is redundant and ugly and nil-differentiation is not a concern of serialization [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added simple hash conditions to find that'll just convert hash to an AND-based condition string #5143 [Hampton Catlin]. Example:
-
-    Person.find(:all, :conditions => { :last_name => "Catlin", :status => 1 }, :limit => 2)
-
-...is the same as:
-
-    Person.find(:all, :conditions => [ "last_name = ? and status = ?", "Catlin", 1 ], :limit => 2)
-
-  This makes it easier to pass in the options from a form or otherwise outside.
-
-
-* Fixed issues with BLOB limits, charsets, and booleans for Firebird #5194, #5191, #5189 [kennethkunz@gmail.com]

-
-* Fixed that :includes merged from with_scope won't cause the same association to be loaded more than once if repetition occurs in the clauses #5253 [alex@purefiction.net]
-
-* Allow models to override to_xml.  #4989 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* PostgreSQL: don't ignore port when host is nil since it's often used to label the domain socket.  #5247 [shimbo@is.naist.jp]
-
-* Records and arrays of records are bound as quoted ids. [Jeremy Kemper]
-    Foo.find(:all, :conditions => ['bar_id IN (?)', bars])
-    Foo.find(:first, :conditions => ['bar_id = ?', bar])
-
-* Fixed that Base.find :all, :conditions => [ "id IN (?)", collection ] would fail if collection was empty [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Add a list of regexes assert_queries skips in the ActiveRecord test suite.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix the has_and_belongs_to_many #create doesn't populate the join for new records.  Closes #3692 [Josh Susser]
-
-* Provide Association Extensions access to the instance that the association is being accessed from.
-  Closes #4433 [Josh Susser]

-* Added :allow_nil option for aggregations #5091 [Ian White]
-
-* Fix Oracle boolean support and tests. Closes #5139. [Michael Schoen]
-
-* create! no longer blows up when no attributes are passed and a :create scope is in effect (e.g. foo.bars.create! failed whereas foo.bars.create!({}) didn't.) [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Call Inflector#demodulize on the class name when eagerly including an STI model.  Closes #5077 [info@loobmedia.com]
-
-* Preserve MySQL boolean column defaults when changing a column in a migration. Closes #5015. [pdcawley@bofh.org.uk]
-
-* PostgreSQL: migrations support :limit with :integer columns by mapping limit < 4 to smallint, > 4 to bigint, and anything else to integer. #2900 [keegan@thebasement.org]
-

-
-* Quote ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars.  #6653 [Julian Tarkhanov]
-
-* MySQL: detect when a NOT NULL column without a default value is misreported as default ''.  Can't detect for string, text, and binary columns since '' is a legitimate default.  #6156 [simon@redhillconsulting.com.au, obrie, Jonathan Viney, Jeremy Kemper]

-
-* save! shouldn't validate twice.  #6324 [maiha, Bob Silva]
-
-* Association collections have an _ids reader method to match the existing writer for collection_select convenience (e.g. employee.task_ids). The writer method skips blank ids so you can safely do @employee.task_ids = params[:tasks] without checking every time for an empty list or blank values.  #1887, #5780 [Michael Schuerig]
-
-* Add an attribute reader method for ActiveRecord::Base.observers [Rick Olson]
-
-* Deprecation: count class method should be called with an options hash rather than two args for conditions and joins.  #6287 [Bob Silva]

-
-* Fix spurious newlines and spaces in AR::Base#to_xml output [Jamis Buck]
-
-* has_one supports the :dependent => :delete option which skips the typical callback chain and deletes the associated object directly from the database.  #5927 [Chris Mear, Jonathan Viney]
-
-* Nested subclasses are not prefixed with the parent class' table_name since they should always use the base class' table_name.  #5911 [Jonathan Viney]

-
-* to_xml: correct naming of included associations.  #5831 [Josh Starcher]
-
-* Pushing a record onto a has_many :through sets the association's foreign key to the associate's primary key and adds it to the correct association.  #5815, #5829 [Josh Susser]
-
-* Add records to has_many :through using <<, push, and concat by creating the association record. Raise if base or associate are new records since both ids are required to create the association. #build raises since you can't associate an unsaved record. #create! takes an attributes hash and creates the associated record and its association in a transaction. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-    # Create a tagging to associate the post and tag.
-    post.tags << Tag.find_by_name('old')
-    post.tags.create! :name => 'general'
-
-    # Would have been:
-    post.taggings.create!(:tag => Tag.find_by_name('finally')
-    transaction do
-      post.taggings.create!(:tag => Tag.create!(:name => 'general'))
-    end

-    Example: Invoice::Lineitem is given table name invoice_lineitems
-
-* Migrations: uniquely name multicolumn indexes so you don't have to. [Jeremy Kemper]
-    # people_active_last_name_index, people_active_deactivated_at_index
-    add_index    :people, [:active, :last_name]
-    add_index    :people, [:active, :deactivated_at]
-    remove_index :people, [:active, :last_name]
-    remove_index :people, [:active, :deactivated_at]
-
-  WARNING: backward-incompatibility. Multicolumn indexes created before this
-  revision were named using the first column name only. Now they're uniquely
-  named using all indexed columns.
-
-  To remove an old multicolumn index, remove_index :table_name, :first_column
-
-* Fix for deep includes on the same association. [richcollins@gmail.com]
-
-* Tweak fixtures so they don't try to use a non-ActiveRecord class.  [Kevin Clark]
-

-
-* Cache nil results for has_one associations so multiple calls don't call the database.  Closes #5757. [Michael Schoen]

-
-* Fixed to_xml with :include misbehaviors when invoked on array of model instances #5690 [alexkwolfe@gmail.com]
-
-* Added support for conditions on Base.exists? #5689 [Josh Peek]. Examples:
-
-    assert (Topic.exists?(:author_name => "David"))
-     assert (Topic.exists?(:author_name => "Mary", :approved => true))
-     assert (Topic.exists?(["parent_id = ?", 1]))

-
-* SQLServer: fix db:schema:dump case-sensitivity. #4684 [Will Rogers]
-
-* Oracle: BigDecimal support. #5667 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Numeric and decimal columns map to BigDecimal instead of Float. Those with scale 0 map to Integer. #5454 [robbat2@gentoo.org, work@ashleymoran.me.uk]
-
-* Firebird migrations support. #5337 [Ken Kunz <kennethkunz@gmail.com>]
-
-* PostgreSQL: create/drop as postgres user. #4790 [mail@matthewpainter.co.uk, mlaster@metavillage.com]
-
-* PostgreSQL: correctly quote the ' in pk_and_sequence_for. #5462 [tietew@tietew.net]
-
-* PostgreSQL: correctly quote microseconds in timestamps. #5641 [rick@rickbradley.com]
-
-* Clearer has_one/belongs_to model names (account has_one :user). #5632 [matt@mattmargolis.net]
-

-
-* Fixed a few Oracle issues: Allows Oracle's odd date handling to still work consistently within #to_xml, Passes test that hardcode insert statement by dropping the :id column, Updated RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS with Oracle instructions, Corrects method signature for #exec #5294 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Added :group to available options for finds done on associations #5516 [mike@michaeldewey.org]
-
-* Observers also watch subclasses created after they are declared. #5535 [daniels@pronto.com.au]
-
-* Removed deprecated timestamps_gmt class methods. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* rake build_mysql_database grants permissions to rails@localhost. #5501 [brianegge@yahoo.com]
-
-* PostgreSQL: support microsecond time resolution. #5492 [alex@msgpad.com]
-
-* Add AssociationCollection#sum since the method_missing invokation has been shadowed by Enumerable#sum.
-
-* Added find_or_initialize_by_X which works like find_or_create_by_X but doesn't save the newly instantiated record. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Row locking. Provide a locking clause with the :lock finder option or true for the default "FOR UPDATE". Use the #lock! method to obtain a row lock on a single record (reloads the record with :lock => true). [Shugo Maeda]
-    # Obtain an exclusive lock on person 1 so we can safely increment visits.
-    Person.transaction do
-      # select * from people where id=1 for update
-      person = Person.find(1, :lock => true)
-      person.visits += 1
-      person.save!
-    end

-
-* Refactored ActiveRecord::Base.to_xml to become a delegate for XmlSerializer, which restores sanity to the mega method. This refactoring also reinstates the opinions that type="string" is redundant and ugly and nil-differentiation is not a concern of serialization [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added simple hash conditions to find that'll just convert hash to an AND-based condition string #5143 [Hampton Catlin]. Example:
-
-    Person.find(:all, :conditions => { :last_name => "Catlin", :status => 1 }, :limit => 2)
-
-...is the same as:
-
-    Person.find(:all, :conditions => [ "last_name = ? and status = ?", "Catlin", 1 ], :limit => 2)
-
-  This makes it easier to pass in the options from a form or otherwise outside.
-
-
-* Fixed issues with BLOB limits, charsets, and booleans for Firebird #5194, #5191, #5189 [kennethkunz@gmail.com]
-

-
-* Fixed that :includes merged from with_scope won't cause the same association to be loaded more than once if repetition occurs in the clauses #5253 [alex@purefiction.net]
-
-* Allow models to override to_xml.  #4989 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* PostgreSQL: don't ignore port when host is nil since it's often used to label the domain socket.  #5247 [shimbo@is.naist.jp]
-
-* Records and arrays of records are bound as quoted ids. [Jeremy Kemper]
-    Foo.find(:all, :conditions => ['bar_id IN (?)', bars])
-    Foo.find(:first, :conditions => ['bar_id = ?', bar])
-
-* Fixed that Base.find :all, :conditions => [ "id IN (?)", collection ] would fail if collection was empty [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Add a list of regexes assert_queries skips in the ActiveRecord test suite.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix the has_and_belongs_to_many #create doesn't populate the join for new records.  Closes #3692 [Josh Susser]
-
-* Provide Association Extensions access to the instance that the association is being accessed from.
-  Closes #4433 [Josh Susser]
-
-* Update OpenBase adaterp's maintainer's email address. Closes #5176. [Derrick Spell]

-* Added :allow_nil option for aggregations #5091 [Ian White]
-
-* Fix Oracle boolean support and tests. Closes #5139. [Michael Schoen]
-
-* create! no longer blows up when no attributes are passed and a :create scope is in effect (e.g. foo.bars.create! failed whereas foo.bars.create!({}) didn't.) [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Call Inflector#demodulize on the class name when eagerly including an STI model.  Closes #5077 [info@loobmedia.com]
-
-* Preserve MySQL boolean column defaults when changing a column in a migration. Closes #5015. [pdcawley@bofh.org.uk]
-
-* PostgreSQL: migrations support :limit with :integer columns by mapping limit < 4 to smallint, > 4 to bigint, and anything else to integer. #2900 [keegan@thebasement.org]
-
-* Dates and times interpret empty strings as nil rather than 2000-01-01. #4830 [kajism@yahoo.com]
-
-* Allow :uniq => true with has_many :through associations. [Jeremy Kemper]

-      has_many :photo_collections
-      has_many :photos, :through => :photo_collections
-    end
-
-* Multiple fixes and optimizations in PostgreSQL adapter, allowing ruby-postgres gem to work properly. [ruben.nine@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed that AssociationCollection#delete_all should work even if the records of the association are not loaded yet. [Florian Weber]
-
-* Changed those private ActiveRecord methods to take optional third argument :auto instead of nil for performance optimizations.  (closes #4456) [Stefan]
-
-* Private ActiveRecord methods add_limit!, add_joins!, and add_conditions! take an OPTIONAL third argument 'scope' (closes #4456) [Rick Olson]
-
-* DEPRECATED: Using additional attributes on has_and_belongs_to_many associations. Instead upgrade your association to be a real join model [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed that records returned from has_and_belongs_to_many associations with additional attributes should be marked as read only (fixes #4512) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Do not implicitly mark recordss of has_many :through as readonly but do mark habtm records as readonly (eventually only on join tables without rich attributes). [Marcel Mollina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed broken OCIAdapter #4457 [Michael Schoen]
-
-
-*1.14.0* (March 27th, 2006)
-
-* Replace 'rescue Object' with a finer grained rescue. Closes #4431. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed eager loading so that an aliased table cannot clash with a has_and_belongs_to_many join table [Rick Olson]
-
-* Add support for :include to with_scope [andrew@redlinesoftware.com]
-
-* Support the use of public synonyms with the Oracle adapter; required ruby-oci8 v0.1.14 #4390 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Change periods (.) in table aliases to _'s.  Closes #4251 [jeff@ministrycentered.com]
-
-* Changed has_and_belongs_to_many join to INNER JOIN for Mysql 3.23.x.  Closes #4348 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed issue that kept :select options from being scoped [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed db_schema_import when binary types are present #3101 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed that MySQL enums should always be returned as strings #3501 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Change has_many :through to use the :source option to specify the source association.  :class_name is now ignored. [Rick Olson]
-
-    class Connection < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :user
-      belongs_to :channel
-    end
-
-    class Channel < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :connections
-      has_many :contacts, :through => :connections, :class_name => 'User' # OLD
-      has_many :contacts, :through => :connections, :source => :user      # NEW
-    end
-
-* Fixed DB2 adapter so nullable columns will be determines correctly now and quotes from column default values will be removed #4350 [contact@maik-schmidt.de]
-
-* Allow overriding of find parameters in scoped has_many :through calls [Rick Olson]
-
-  In this example, :include => false disables the default eager association from loading.  :select changes the standard
-  select clause.  :joins specifies a join that is added to the end of the has_many :through query.
-
-    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :tags, :through => :taggings, :include => :tagging do
-        def add_joins_and_select
-          find :all, :select => 'tags.*, authors.id as author_id', :include => false,
-            :joins => 'left outer join posts on taggings.taggable_id = posts.id left outer join authors on posts.author_id = authors.id'
-        end
-      end
-    end
-
-* Fixed that schema changes while the database was open would break any connections to an SQLite database (now we reconnect if that error is throw) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Don't classify the has_one class when eager loading, it is already singular. Add tests. (closes #4117) [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* Quit ignoring default :include options in has_many :through calls [Mark James]
-
-* Allow has_many :through associations to find the source association by setting a custom class (closes #4307) [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* Eager Loading support added for has_many :through => :has_many associations (see below).  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Allow has_many :through to work on has_many associations (closes #3864) [sco@scottraymond.net]  Example:
-
-    class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :clients
-      has_many :invoices, :through => :clients
-    end
-
-    class Client < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :firm
-      has_many   :invoices
-    end
-
-    class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :client
-    end
-
-* Raise error when trying to select many polymorphic objects with has_many :through or :include (closes #4226) [Josh Susser]
-
-* Fixed has_many :through to include :conditions set on the :through association. closes #4020 [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* Fix that has_many :through honors the foreign key set by the belongs_to association in the join model (closes #4259) [andylien@gmail.com / Rick Olson]
-
-* SQL Server adapter gets some love #4298 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Added OpenBase database adapter that builds on top of the http://www.spice-of-life.net/ruby-openbase/ driver. All functionality except LIMIT/OFFSET is supported #3528 [derrickspell@cdmplus.com]
-
-* Rework table aliasing to account for truncated table aliases.  Add smarter table aliasing when doing eager loading of STI associations. This allows you to use the association name in the order/where clause. [Jonathan Viney / Rick Olson] #4108 Example (SpecialComment is using STI):
-
-    Author.find(:all, :include => { :posts => :special_comments }, :order => 'special_comments.body')
-
-* Add AbstractAdapter#table_alias_for to create table aliases according to the rules of the current adapter. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Provide access to the underlying database connection through Adapter#raw_connection. Enables the use of db-specific methods without complicating the adapters. #2090 [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Remove broken attempts at handling columns with a default of 'now()' in the postgresql adapter. #2257 [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Added connection#current_database that'll return of the current database (only works in MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle so far -- please help implement for the rest of the adapters) #3663 [Tom Ward]
-
-* Fixed that Migration#execute would have the table name prefix appended to its query #4110 [mark.imbriaco@pobox.com]
-
-* Make all tinyint(1) variants act like boolean in mysql (tinyint(1) unsigned, etc.) [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Use association's :conditions when eager loading. [Jeremy Evans] #4144
-
-* Alias the has_and_belongs_to_many join table on eager includes. #4106 [Jeremy Evans]
-
-  This statement would normally error because the projects_developers table is joined twice, and therefore joined_on would be ambiguous.
-
-    Developer.find(:all, :include => {:projects => :developers}, :conditions => 'join_project_developers.joined_on IS NOT NULL')
-
-* Oracle adapter gets some love #4230 [Michael Schoen]
-
-    * Changes :text to CLOB rather than BLOB [Moses Hohman]
-    * Fixes an issue with nil numeric length/scales (several)
-    * Implements support for XMLTYPE columns [wilig / Kubo Takehiro]
-    * Tweaks a unit test to get it all green again
-    * Adds support for #current_database
-
-* Added Base.abstract_class? that marks which classes are not part of the Active Record hierarchy #3704 [Rick Olson]
-
-    class CachedModel < ActiveRecord::Base
-      self.abstract_class = true
-    end
-
-    class Post < CachedModel
-    end
-
-    CachedModel.abstract_class?
-    => true
-
-    Post.abstract_class?
-    => false
-
-    Post.base_class
-    => Post
-
-    Post.table_name
-    => 'posts'
-
-* Allow :dependent options to be used with polymorphic joins. #3820 [Rick Olson]
-
-    class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :attachments, :as => :attachable, :dependent => :delete_all
-    end
-
-* Nicer error message on has_many :through when :through reflection can not be found. #4042 [court3nay]
-
-* Upgrade to Transaction::Simple 1.3 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Catch FixtureClassNotFound when using instantiated fixtures on a fixture that has no ActiveRecord model [Rick Olson]
-
-* Allow ordering of calculated results and/or grouped fields in calculations [solo@gatelys.com]
-
-* Make ActiveRecord::Base#save! return true instead of nil on success.  #4173 [johan@johansorensen.com]
-
-* Dynamically set allow_concurrency.  #4044 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Added Base#to_xml that'll turn the current record into a XML representation [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    topic.to_xml
-
-  ...returns:
-
-    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-    <topic>
-      <title>The First Topic</title>
-      <author-name>David</author-name>
-      <id type="integer">1</id>
-      <approved type="boolean">false</approved>
-      <replies-count type="integer">0</replies-count>
-      <bonus-time type="datetime">2000-01-01 08:28:00</bonus-time>
-      <written-on type="datetime">2003-07-16 09:28:00</written-on>

-      <parent-id></parent-id>
-      <last-read type="date">2004-04-15</last-read>
-    </topic>
-
-  ...and you can configure with:
-
-    topic.to_xml(:skip_instruct => true, :except => [ :id, bonus_time, :written_on, replies_count ])
-
-  ...that'll return:
-
-    <topic>
-      <title>The First Topic</title>
-      <author-name>David</author-name>
-      <approved type="boolean">false</approved>

-      <parent-id></parent-id>
-      <last-read type="date">2004-04-15</last-read>
-    </topic>
-
-  You can even do load first-level associations as part of the document:
-
-    firm.to_xml :include => [ :account, :clients ]
-
-  ...that'll return something like:
-
-    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-    <firm>
-      <id type="integer">1</id>
-      <rating type="integer">1</rating>

-        <client>
-          <rating type="integer">1</rating>
-          <name>Microsoft</name>
-        </client>

-        <credit-limit type="integer">50</credit-limit>
-      </account>
-    </firm>
-
-* Allow :counter_cache to take a column name for custom counter cache columns [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Documentation fixes for :dependent [robby@planetargon.com]
-
-* Stop the MySQL adapter crashing when views are present. #3782 [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* Don't classify the belongs_to class, it is already singular #4117 [keithm@infused.org]
-
-* Allow set_fixture_class to take Classes instead of strings for a class in a module.  Raise FixtureClassNotFound if a fixture can't load.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix quoting of inheritance column for STI eager loading #4098 [Jonathan Viney <jonathan@bluewire.net.nz>]
-
-* Added smarter table aliasing for eager associations for multiple self joins #3580 [Rick Olson]
-
-    * The first time a table is referenced in a join, no alias is used.
-    * After that, the parent class name and the reflection name are used.
-
-        Tree.find(:all, :include => :children) # LEFT OUTER JOIN trees AS tree_children ...
-
-    * Any additional join references get a numerical suffix like '_2', '_3', etc.
-
-* Fixed eager loading problems with single-table inheritance #3580 [Rick Olson]. Post.find(:all, :include => :special_comments) now returns all posts, and any special comments that the posts may have. And made STI work with has_many :through and polymorphic belongs_to.
-
-* Added cascading eager loading that allows for queries like Author.find(:all, :include=> { :posts=> :comments }), which will fetch all authors, their posts, and the comments belonging to those posts in a single query (using LEFT OUTER JOIN) #3913 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:
-
-    # cascaded in two levels
-    >> Author.find(:all, :include=>{:posts=>:comments})
-    => authors
-         +- posts
-              +- comments
-
-    # cascaded in two levels and normal association
-    >> Author.find(:all, :include=>[{:posts=>:comments}, :categorizations])
-    => authors
-         +- posts
-              +- comments
-         +- categorizations
-
-    # cascaded in two levels with two has_many associations
-    >> Author.find(:all, :include=>{:posts=>[:comments, :categorizations]})
-    => authors
-         +- posts
-              +- comments
-              +- categorizations
-
-    # cascaded in three levels
-    >> Company.find(:all, :include=>{:groups=>{:members=>{:favorites}}})
-    => companies
-         +- groups
-              +- members
-                   +- favorites
-

-
-* Make counter_cache work with polymorphic belongs_to [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Fixed that calling HasOneProxy#build_model repeatedly would cause saving to happen #4058 [anna@wota.jp]
-
-* Added Sybase database adapter that relies on the Sybase Open Client bindings (see http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/sybase-ctlib) #3765 [John Sheets]. It's almost completely Active Record compliant (including migrations), but has the following caveats:
-
-    * Does not support DATE SQL column types; use DATETIME instead.
-    * Date columns on HABTM join tables are returned as String, not Time.
-    * Insertions are potentially broken for :polymorphic join tables
-    * BLOB column access not yet fully supported
-
-* Clear stale, cached connections left behind by defunct threads. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* CHANGED DEFAULT: set ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency to false.  Most AR usage is in single-threaded applications. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Renamed the "oci" adapter to "oracle", but kept the old name as an alias #4017 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Fixed that Base.save should always return false if the save didn't succeed, including if it has halted by before_save's #1861, #2477 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Speed up class -> connection caching and stale connection verification.  #3979 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Add set_fixture_class to allow the use of table name accessors with models which use set_table_name. [Kevin Clark]
-
-* Added that fixtures to placed in subdirectories of the main fixture files are also loaded #3937 [dblack@wobblini.net]
-
-* Define attribute query methods to avoid method_missing calls. #3677 [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* ActiveRecord::Base.remove_connection explicitly closes database connections and doesn't corrupt the connection cache. Introducing the disconnect! instance method for the PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server adapters; implementations for the others are welcome.  #3591 [Simon Stapleton, Tom Ward]
-
-* Added support for nested scopes #3407 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:
-
-    Developer.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => "salary > 10000", :limit => 10 }) do
-      Developer.find(:all)     # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (salary > 10000) LIMIT 10
-
-      # inner rule is used. (all previous parameters are ignored)
-      Developer.with_exclusive_scope(:find => { :conditions => "name = 'Jamis'" }) do
-        Developer.find(:all)   # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (name = 'Jamis')
-      end
-
-      # parameters are merged
-      Developer.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => "name = 'Jamis'" }) do
-        Developer.find(:all)   # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (( salary > 10000 ) AND ( name = 'Jamis' )) LIMIT 10
-      end
-    end
-

-
-* Added calculations: Base.count, Base.average, Base.sum, Base.minimum, Base.maxmium, and the generic Base.calculate. All can be used with :group and :having. Calculations and statitics need no longer require custom SQL. #3958 [Rick Olson]. Examples:
-
-    Person.average :age
-    Person.minimum :age
-    Person.maximum :age
-    Person.sum :salary, :group => :last_name
-
-* Renamed Errors#count to Errors#size but kept an alias for the old name (and included an alias for length too) #3920 [Luke Redpath]
-
-* Reflections don't attempt to resolve module nesting of association classes. Simplify type computation. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Improved the Oracle OCI Adapter with better performance for column reflection (from #3210), fixes to migrations (from #3476 and #3742), tweaks to unit tests (from #3610), and improved documentation (from #2446) #3879 [Aggregated by schoenm@earthlink.net]
-
-* Fixed that the schema_info table used by ActiveRecord::Schema.define should respect table pre- and suffixes #3834 [rubyonrails@atyp.de]

-
-* Sanitize scoped conditions. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Added option to Base.reflection_of_all_associations to specify a specific association to scope the call. For example Base.reflection_of_all_associations(:has_many) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper.ignore_tables which tells SchemaDumper which tables to ignore. Useful for tables with funky column like the ones required for tsearch2. [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* SchemaDumper now doesn't fail anymore when there are unknown column types in the schema. Instead the table is ignored and a Comment is left in the schema.rb. [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Fixed that saving a model with multiple habtm associations would only save the first one.  #3244 [yanowitz-rubyonrails@quantumfoam.org, Florian Weber]
-
-* Fix change_column to work with PostgreSQL 7.x and 8.x.  #3141 [wejn@box.cz, Rick Olson, Scott Barron]

-
-* MySQL: allow encoding option for mysql.rb driver.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-

-      has_many :recent_comments, :class_name => "Comment", :limit => 10, :include => :author
-    end
-
-    post.recent_comments.find(:all) # Uses LIMIT 10 and includes authors
-    post.recent_comments.find(:all, :limit => nil) # Uses no limit but include authors

-
-* PostgreSQL: more robust sequence name discovery.  #3087 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Oracle: use syntax compatible with Oracle 8.  #3131 [Michael Schoen]

-* SQLServer: resolve column aliasing/quoting collision when using limit or offset in an eager find.  #2974 [kajism@yahoo.com]
-
-* Reloading a model doesn't lose track of its connection.  #2996 [junk@miriamtech.com, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed bug where using update_attribute after pushing a record to a habtm association of the object caused duplicate rows in the join table. #2888 [colman@rominato.com, Florian Weber, Michael Schoen]
-
-* MySQL, PostgreSQL: reconnect! also reconfigures the connection.  Otherwise, the connection 'loses' its settings if it times out and is reconnected.  #2978 [Shugo Maeda]
-
-* has_and_belongs_to_many: use JOIN instead of LEFT JOIN.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* MySQL: introduce :encoding option to specify the character set for client, connection, and results.  Only available for MySQL 4.1 and later with the mysql-ruby driver.  Do SHOW CHARACTER SET in mysql client to see available encodings.  #2975 [Shugo Maeda]
-
-* Add tasks to create, drop and rebuild the MySQL and PostgreSQL test  databases. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Correct boolean handling in generated reader methods.  #2945 [Don Park, Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Don't generate read methods for columns whose names are not valid ruby method names.  #2946 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Document :force option to create_table.  #2921 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* Don't add the same conditions twice in has_one finder sql.  #2916 [Jeremy Evans]
-
-* Rename Version constant to VERSION. #2802 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Introducing the Firebird adapter.  Quote columns and use attribute_condition more consistently.  Setup guide: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Firebird+Adapter  #1874 [Ken Kunz <kennethkunz@gmail.com>]
-
-* SQLServer: active? and reconnect! methods for handling stale connections.  #428 [kajism@yahoo.com, Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>]
-
-* Associations handle case-equality more consistently: item.parts.is_a?(Array) and item.parts === Array.  #1345 [MarkusQ@reality.com]
-
-* SQLServer: insert uses given primary key value if not nil rather than SELECT @@IDENTITY.  #2866 [kajism@yahoo.com, Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>]
-
-* Oracle: active? and reconnect! methods for handling stale connections.  Optionally retry queries after reconnect.  #428 [Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>]
-
-* Correct documentation for Base.delete_all.  #1568 [Newhydra]
-
-* Oracle: test case for column default parsing.  #2788 [Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>]
-
-* Update documentation for Migrations.  #2861 [Tom Werner <tom@cube6media.com>]
-
-* When AbstractAdapter#log rescues an exception, attempt to detect and reconnect to an inactive database connection.  Connection adapter must respond to the active? and reconnect! instance methods.  Initial support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite.  Make certain that all statements which may need reconnection are performed within a logged block: for example, this means no avoiding log(sql, name) { } if @logger.nil?  #428 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Oracle: Much faster column reflection.  #2848 [Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>]
-
-* Base.reset_sequence_name analogous to reset_table_name (mostly useful for testing).  Base.define_attr_method allows nil values.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* PostgreSQL: smarter sequence name defaults, stricter last_insert_id, warn on pk without sequence.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* PostgreSQL: correctly discover custom primary key sequences.  #2594 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>, meadow.nnick@gmail.com, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* SQLServer: don't report limits for unsupported field types.  #2835 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Include the Enumerable module in ActiveRecord::Errors.  [Rick Bradley <rick@rickbradley.com>]
-
-* Add :group option, correspond to GROUP BY, to the find method and to the has_many association.  #2818 [rubyonrails@atyp.de]
-
-* Don't cast nil or empty strings to a dummy date.  #2789 [Rick Bradley <rick@rickbradley.com>]
-
-* acts_as_list plays nicely with inheritance by remembering the class which declared it.  #2811 [rephorm@rephorm.com]
-
-* Fix sqlite adaptor's detection of missing dbfile or database declaration. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed acts_as_list for definitions without an explicit :order #2803 [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* Upgrade bundled ruby-mysql 0.2.4 with mysql411 shim (see #440) to ruby-mysql 0.2.6 with a patchset for 4.1 protocol support.  Local change [301] is now a part of the main driver; reapplied local change [2182].  Removed GC.start from Result.free.  [tommy@tmtm.org, akuroda@gmail.com, Doug Fales <doug.fales@gmail.com>, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Correct handling of complex order clauses with SQL Server limit emulation.  #2770 [Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>, Matt B.]
-
-* Correct whitespace problem in Oracle default column value parsing.  #2788 [rick@rickbradley.com]
-
-* Destroy associated has_and_belongs_to_many records after all before_destroy callbacks but before destroy.  This allows you to act on the habtm association as you please while preserving referential integrity.  #2065 [larrywilliams1@gmail.com, sam.kirchmeier@gmail.com, elliot@townx.org, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Deprecate the old, confusing :exclusively_dependent option in favor of :dependent => :delete_all.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* More compatible Oracle column reflection.  #2771 [Ryan Davis <ryand-ruby@zenspider.com>, Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>]
-
-
-*1.13.0* (November 7th, 2005)
-
-* Fixed faulty regex in get_table_name method (SQLServerAdapter) #2639 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Added :include as an option for association declarations [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    has_many :posts, :include => [ :author, :comments ]
-
-* Rename Base.constrain to Base.with_scope so it doesn't conflict with existing concept of database constraints.  Make scoping more robust: uniform method => parameters, validated method names and supported finder parameters, raise exception on nested scopes.  [Jeremy Kemper]  Example:
-
-    Comment.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => 'active=true' }, :create => { :post_id => 5 }) do
-      # Find where name = ? and active=true
-      Comment.find :all, :conditions => ['name = ?', name]
-      # Create comment associated with :post_id
-      Comment.create :body => "Hello world"
-    end
-
-* Fixed that SQL Server should ignore :size declarations on anything but integer and string in the agnostic schema representation #2756 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Added constrain scoping for creates using a hash of attributes bound to the :creation key [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    Comment.constrain(:creation => { :post_id => 5 }) do
-      # Associated with :post_id
-      Comment.create :body => "Hello world"
-    end
-
-  This is rarely used directly, but allows for find_or_create on associations. So you can do:
-
-    # If the tag doesn't exist, a new one is created that's associated with the person
-    person.tags.find_or_create_by_name("Summer")
-
-* Added find_or_create_by_X as a second type of dynamic finder that'll create the record if it doesn't already exist [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    # No 'Summer' tag exists
-    Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.create(:name => "Summer")
-
-    # Now the 'Summer' tag does exist
-    Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.find_by_name("Summer")
-
-* Added extension capabilities to has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many proxies [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :people do
-        def find_or_create_by_name(name)
-          first_name, *last_name = name.split
-          last_name = last_name.join " "
-
-          find_or_create_by_first_name_and_last_name(first_name, last_name)
-        end
-      end
-    end
-
-    person = Account.find(:first).people.find_or_create_by_name("David Heinemeier Hansson")
-    person.first_name # => "David"
-    person.last_name  # => "Heinemeier Hansson"
-
-  Note that the anoymous module must be declared using brackets, not do/end (due to order of evaluation).
-
-* Omit internal dtproperties table from SQLServer table list.  #2729 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Quote column names in generated SQL.  #2728 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Correct the pure-Ruby MySQL 4.1.1 shim's version test.  #2718 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add Model.create! to match existing model.save! method.  When save! raises RecordInvalid, you can catch the exception, retrieve the invalid record (invalid_exception.record), and see its errors (invalid_exception.record.errors).  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Correct fixture behavior when table name pluralization is off.  #2719 [Rick Bradley <rick@rickbradley.com>]
-
-* Changed :dbfile to :database for SQLite adapter for consistency (old key still works as an alias) #2644 [Dan Peterson]
-
-* Added migration support for Oracle #2647 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Worked around that connection can't be reset if allow_concurrency is off.  #2648 [Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>]
-
-* Fixed SQL Server adapter to pass even more tests and do even better #2634 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Fixed SQL Server adapter so it honors options[:conditions] when applying :limits #1978 [Tom Ward]
-
-* Added migration support to SQL Server adapter (please someone do the same for Oracle and DB2) #2625 [Tom Ward]
-
-* Use AR::Base.silence rather than AR::Base.logger.silence in fixtures to preserve Log4r compatibility.  #2618 [dansketcher@gmail.com]
-
-* Constraints are cloned so they can't be inadvertently modified while they're
-in effect.  Added :readonly finder constraint.  Calling an association collection's class method (Part.foobar via item.parts.foobar) constrains :readonly => false since the collection's :joins constraint would otherwise force it to true.  [Jeremy Kemper <rails@bitsweat.net>]
-
-* Added :offset and :limit to the kinds of options that Base.constrain can use #2466 [duane.johnson@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed handling of nil number columns on Oracle and cleaned up tests for Oracle in general #2555 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Added quoted_true and quoted_false methods and tables to db2_adapter and cleaned up tests for DB2 #2493, #2624 [maik schmidt]
-
-
-*1.12.2* (October 26th, 2005)
-
-* Allow symbols to rename columns when using SQLite adapter. #2531 [Kevin Clark]
-
-* Map Active Record time to SQL TIME.  #2575, #2576 [Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>]
-
-* Clarify semantics of ActiveRecord::Base#respond_to?  #2560 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Fixed Association#clear for associations which have not yet been accessed. #2524 [Patrick Lenz <patrick@lenz.sh>]
-
-* HABTM finders shouldn't return readonly records.  #2525 [Patrick Lenz <patrick@lenz.sh>]
-
-* Make all tests runnable on their own. #2521. [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-
-*1.12.1* (October 19th, 2005)
-
-* Always parenthesize :conditions options so they may be safely combined with STI and constraints.
-
-* Correct PostgreSQL primary key sequence detection.  #2507 [tmornini@infomania.com]
-
-* Added support for using limits in eager loads that involve has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many associations
-
-
-*1.12.0* (October 16th, 2005)
-
-* Update/clean up documentation (rdoc)
-
-* PostgreSQL sequence support.  Use set_sequence_name in your model class to specify its primary key sequence.  #2292 [Rick Olson <technoweenie@gmail.com>, Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>]
-
-* Change default logging colors to work on both white and black backgrounds. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* YAML fixtures support ordered hashes for fixtures with foreign key dependencies in the same table.  #1896 [purestorm@ggnore.net]
-
-* :dependent now accepts :nullify option. Sets the foreign key of the related objects to NULL instead of deleting them. #2015 [Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>]
-
-* Introduce read-only records.  If you call object.readonly! then it will mark the object as read-only and raise ReadOnlyRecord if you call object.save.  object.readonly? reports whether the object is read-only.  Passing :readonly => true to any finder method will mark returned records as read-only.  The :joins option now implies :readonly, so if you use this option, saving the same record will now fail.  Use find_by_sql to work around.
-
-* Avoid memleak in dev mode when using fcgi
-
-* Simplified .clear on active record associations by using the existing delete_records method. #1906 [Caleb <me@cpb.ca>]
-
-* Delegate access to a customized primary key to the conventional id method. #2444. [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-

-
-* Update DB2 adapter. #2206. [contact@maik-schmidt.de]
-
-* Corrections to SQLServer native data types. #2267.  [rails.20.clarry@spamgourmet.com]
-
-* Deprecated ActiveRecord::Base.threaded_connection in favor of ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency.
-
-* Protect id attribute from mass assigment even when the primary key is set to something else. #2438. [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* Misc doc fixes (typos/grammar/etc.). #2430. [coffee2code]
-
-* Add test coverage for content_columns. #2432. [coffee2code]
-
-* Speed up for unthreaded environments. #2431. [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Optimization for Mysql selects using mysql-ruby extension greater than 2.6.3.  #2426. [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Speed up the setting of table_name. #2428. [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Optimize instantiation of STI subclass records. In partial fullfilment of #1236. [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Fix typo of 'constrains' to 'contraints'. #2069. [Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]
-
-* Optimization refactoring for add_limit_offset!. In partial fullfilment of #1236. [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Add ability to get all siblings, including the current child, with acts_as_tree. Recloses #2140. [Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]
-
-* Add geometric type for postgresql adapter. #2233 [Andrew Kaspick]
-
-* Add option (true by default) to generate reader methods for each attribute of a record to avoid the overhead of calling method missing. In partial fullfilment of #1236. [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Add convenience predicate methods on Column class. In partial fullfilment of #1236. [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Raise errors when invalid hash keys are passed to ActiveRecord::Base.find. #2363  [Chad Fowler <chad@chadfowler.com>, Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added :force option to create_table that'll try to drop the table if it already exists before creating
-
-* Fix transactions so that calling return while inside a transaction will not leave an open transaction on the connection. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Use foreign_key inflection uniformly.  #2156 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* model.association.clear should destroy associated objects if :dependent => true instead of nullifying their foreign keys.  #2221 [joergd@pobox.com, ObieFernandez <obiefernandez@gmail.com>]
-
-* Returning false from before_destroy should cancel the action.  #1829 [Jeremy Huffman]
-
-* Recognize PostgreSQL NOW() default as equivalent to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP or CURRENT_DATE, depending on the column's type.  #2256 [mat <mat@absolight.fr>]
-
-* Extensive documentation for the abstract database adapter.  #2250 [François Beausoleil <fbeausoleil@ftml.net>]
-
-* Clean up Fixtures.reset_sequences for PostgreSQL.  Handle tables with no rows and models with custom primary keys.  #2174, #2183 [jay@jay.fm, Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* Improve error message when nil is assigned to an attr which validates_size_of within a range.  #2022 [Manuel Holtgrewe <purestorm@ggnore.net>]
-
-* Make update_attribute use the same writer method that update_attributes uses.
- #2237 [trevor@protocool.com]
-
-* Make migrations honor table name prefixes and suffixes. #2298 [Jakob Skjerning, Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Correct and optimize PostgreSQL bytea escaping.  #1745, #1837 [dave@cherryville.org, ken@miriamtech.com, bellis@deepthought.org]
-
-* Fixtures should only reset a PostgreSQL sequence if it corresponds to an integer primary key named id.  #1749 [chris@chrisbrinker.com]
-
-* Standardize the interpretation of boolean columns in the Mysql and Sqlite adapters. (Use MysqlAdapter.emulate_booleans = false to disable this behavior)
-
-* Added new symbol-driven approach to activating observers with Base#observers= [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    ActiveRecord::Base.observers = :cacher, :garbage_collector
-
-* Added AbstractAdapter#select_value and AbstractAdapter#select_values as convenience methods for selecting single values, instead of hashes, of the first column in a SELECT #2283 [solo@gatelys.com]
-
-* Wrap :conditions in parentheses to prevent problems with OR's #1871 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Allow the postgresql adapter to work with the SchemaDumper. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Add ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper for dumping a DB schema to a pure-ruby file, making it easier to consolidate large migration lists and port database schemas between databases. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Fixed migrations for Windows when using more than 10 [David Naseby]
-
-* Fixed that the create_x method from belongs_to wouldn't save the association properly #2042 [Florian Weber]
-
-* Fixed saving a record with two unsaved belongs_to associations pointing to the same object #2023 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Improved migrations' behavior when the schema_info table is empty. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed that Observers didn't observe sub-classes #627 [Florian Weber]
-
-* Fix eager loading error messages, allow :include to specify tables using strings or symbols. Closes #2222 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Added check for RAILS_CONNECTION_ADAPTERS on startup and only load the connection adapters specified within if its present (available in Rails through config.connection_adapters using the new config) #1958 [skae]
-
-* Fixed various problems with has_and_belongs_to_many when using customer finder_sql #2094 [Florian Weber]
-
-* Added better exception error when unknown column types are used with migrations #1814 [François Beausoleil]
-
-* Fixed "connection lost" issue with the bundled Ruby/MySQL driver (would kill the app after 8 hours of inactivity) #2163, #428 [kajism@yahoo.com]
-
-* Fixed comparison of Active Record objects so two new objects are not equal #2099 [deberg]
-
-* Fixed that the SQL Server adapter would sometimes return DBI::Timestamp objects instead of Time #2127 [Tom Ward]
-
-* Added the instance methods #root and #ancestors on acts_as_tree and fixed siblings to not include the current node #2142, #2140 [coffee2code]
-
-* Fixed that Active Record would call SHOW FIELDS twice (or more) for the same model when the cached results were available #1947 [sd@notso.net]
-
-* Added log_level and use_silence parameter to ActiveRecord::Base.benchmark. The first controls at what level the benchmark statement will be logged (now as debug, instead of info) and the second that can be passed false to include all logging statements during the benchmark block/
-
-* Make sure the schema_info table is created before querying the current version #1903
-
-* Fixtures ignore table name prefix and suffix #1987 [Jakob Skjerning]
-
-* Add documentation for index_type argument to add_index method for migrations #2005 [Blaine]
-
-* Modify read_attribute to allow a symbol argument #2024 [Ken Kunz]
-
-* Make destroy return self #1913 [Sebastian Kanthak]
-
-* Fix typo in validations documentation #1938 [court3nay]
-
-* Make acts_as_list work for insert_at(1) #1966 [hensleyl@papermountain.org]
-
-* Fix typo in count_by_sql documentation #1969 [Alexey Verkhovsky]
-
-* Allow add_column and create_table to specify NOT NULL #1712 [emptysands@gmail.com]
-
-* Fix create_table so that id column is implicitly added [Rick Olson]
-
-* Default sequence names for Oracle changed to #{table_name}_seq, which is the most commonly used standard. In addition, a new method ActiveRecord::Base#set_sequence_name allows the developer to set the sequence name per model. This is a non-backwards-compatible change -- anyone using the old-style "rails_sequence" will need to either create new sequences, or set: ActiveRecord::Base.set_sequence_name = "rails_sequence" #1798
-
-* OCIAdapter now properly handles synonyms, which are commonly used to separate out the schema owner from the application user #1798
-
-* Fixed the handling of camelCase columns names in Oracle #1798
-
-* Implemented for OCI the Rakefile tasks of :clone_structure_to_test, :db_structure_dump, and :purge_test_database, which enable Oracle folks to enjoy all the agile goodness of Rails for testing. Note that the current implementation is fairly limited -- only tables and sequences are cloned, not constraints or indexes. A full clone in Oracle generally requires some manual effort, and is version-specific. Post 9i, Oracle recommends the use of the DBMS_METADATA package, though that approach requires editing of the physical characteristics generated #1798
-
-* Fixed the handling of multiple blob columns in Oracle if one or more of them are null #1798
-
-* Added support for calling constrained class methods on has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many collections #1764 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-    class Comment < AR:B
-      def self.search(q)
-        find(:all, :conditions => ["body = ?", q])
-      end
-    end
-
-    class Post < AR:B
-      has_many :comments
-    end
-
-    Post.find(1).comments.search('hi') # => SELECT * from comments WHERE post_id = 1 AND body = 'hi'
-
-  NOTICE: This patch changes the underlying SQL generated by has_and_belongs_to_many queries. If your relying on that, such as
-  by explicitly referencing the old t and j aliases, you'll need to update your code. Of course, you _shouldn't_ be relying on
-  details like that no less than you should be diving in to touch private variables. But just in case you do, consider yourself
-  noticed :)
-
-* Added migration support for SQLite (using temporary tables to simulate ALTER TABLE) #1771 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Remove extra definition of supports_migrations? from abstract_adaptor.rb [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fix acts_as_list so that moving next-to-last item to the bottom does not result in duplicate item positions
-
-* Fixed incompatibility in DB2 adapter with the new limit/offset approach #1718 [Maik Schmidt]
-
-* Added :select option to find which can specify a different value than the default *, like find(:all, :select => "first_name, last_name"), if you either only want to select part of the columns or exclude columns otherwise included from a join #1338 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-
-*1.11.1* (11 July, 2005)
-
-* Added support for limit and offset with eager loading of has_one and belongs_to associations. Using the options with has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many associations will now raise an ActiveRecord::ConfigurationError #1692 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed that assume_bottom_position (in acts_as_list) could be called on items already last in the list and they would move one position away from the list #1648 [tyler@kianta.com]
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Base.threaded_connections flag to turn off 1-connection per thread (required for thread safety). By default it's on, but WEBrick in Rails need it off #1685 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Correct reflected table name for singular associations.  #1688 [court3nay]
-
-* Fixed optimistic locking with SQL Server #1660 [tom@popdog.net]
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrate that can figure out whether to go up or down based on the target version and the current
-
-* Added better error message for "packets out of order" #1630 [court3nay]
-
-* Fixed first run of "rake migrate" on PostgreSQL by not expecting a return value on the id #1640
-
-
-*1.11.0* (6 July, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that Yaml error message in fixtures hid the real error #1623 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Changed logging of SQL statements to use the DEBUG level instead of INFO
-
-* Added new Migrations framework for describing schema transformations in a way that can be easily applied across multiple databases #1604 [Tobias Lütke] See documentation under ActiveRecord::Migration and the additional support in the Rails rakefile/generator.
-
-* Added callback hooks to association collections #1549 [Florian Weber]. Example:
-
-    class Project
-      has_and_belongs_to_many :developers, :before_add => :evaluate_velocity
-
-      def evaluate_velocity(developer)
-        ...
-      end
-    end
-
-  ..raising an exception will cause the object not to be added (or removed, with before_remove).
-
-
-* Fixed Base.content_columns call for SQL Server adapter #1450 [DeLynn Berry]
-
-* Fixed Base#write_attribute to work with both symbols and strings #1190 [Paul Legato]
-
-* Fixed that has_and_belongs_to_many didn't respect single table inheritance types #1081 [Florian Weber]
-
-* Speed up ActiveRecord#method_missing for the common case (read_attribute).
-
-* Only notify observers on after_find and after_initialize if these methods are defined on the model.  #1235 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Fixed that single-table inheritance sub-classes couldn't be used to limit the result set with eager loading #1215 [Chris McGrath]
-
-* Fixed validates_numericality_of to work with overrided getter-method when :allow_nil is on #1316 [raidel@onemail.at]
-
-* Added roots, root, and siblings to the batch of methods added by acts_as_tree #1541 [Michael Schuerig]
-
-* Added support for limit/offset with the MS SQL Server driver so that pagination will now work #1569 [DeLynn Berry]
-
-* Added support for ODBC connections to MS SQL Server so you can connect from a non-Windows machine #1569 [Mark Imbriaco/DeLynn Berry]
-
-* Fixed that multiparameter posts ignored attr_protected #1532 [alec+rails@veryclever.net]
-
-* Fixed problem with eager loading when using a has_and_belongs_to_many association using :association_foreign_key #1504 [flash@vanklinkenbergsoftware.nl]
-
-* Fixed Base#find to honor the documentation on how :joins work and make them consistent with Base#count #1405 [pritchie@gmail.com]. What used to be:
-
-    Developer.find :all, :joins => 'developers_projects', :conditions => 'id=developer_id AND project_id=1'
-
-  ...should instead be:
-
-    Developer.find(
-      :all,
-      :joins => 'LEFT JOIN developers_projects ON developers.id = developers_projects.developer_id',
-      :conditions => 'project_id=1'
-    )
-
-* Fixed that validations didn't respecting custom setting for too_short, too_long messages #1437 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed that clear_association_cache doesn't delete new associations on new records (so you can safely place new records in the session with Action Pack without having new associations wiped) #1494 [cluon]
-
-* Fixed that calling Model.find([]) returns [] and doesn't throw an exception #1379
-
-* Fixed that adding a record to a has_and_belongs_to collection would always save it -- now it only saves if its a new record #1203 [Alisdair McDiarmid]
-
-* Fixed saving of in-memory association structures to happen as a after_create/after_update callback instead of after_save -- that way you can add new associations in after_create/after_update callbacks without getting them saved twice
-
-* Allow any Enumerable, not just Array, to work as bind variables #1344 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added actual database-changing behavior to collection assigment for has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many #1425 [Sebastian Kanthak].
-  Example:
-
-    david.projects = [Project.find(1), Project.new("name" => "ActionWebSearch")]
-    david.save
-
-  If david.projects already contain the project with ID 1, this is left unchanged. Any other projects are dropped. And the new
-  project is saved when david.save is called.
-
-  Also included is a way to do assignments through IDs, which is perfect for checkbox updating, so you get to do:
-
-    david.project_ids = [1, 5, 7]
-
-* Corrected typo in find SQL for has_and_belongs_to_many.  #1312 [ben@bensinclair.com]
-
-* Fixed sanitized conditions for has_many finder method.  #1281 [jackc@hylesanderson.com, pragdave, Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Comprehensive PostgreSQL schema support.  Use the optional schema_search_path directive in database.yml to give a comma-separated list of schemas to search for your tables.  This allows you, for example, to have tables in a shared schema without having to use a custom table name.  See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/ddl-schemas.html to learn more.  #827 [dave@cherryville.org]
-
-* Corrected @@configurations typo #1410 [david@ruppconsulting.com]
-
-* Return PostgreSQL columns in the order they were declared #1374 [perlguy@gmail.com]
-
-* Allow before/after update hooks to work on models using optimistic locking
-
-* Eager loading of dependent has_one associations won't delete the association #1212
-
-* Added a second parameter to the build and create method for has_one that controls whether the existing association should be replaced (which means nullifying its foreign key as well). By default this is true, but false can be passed to prevent it.
-
-* Using transactional fixtures now causes the data to be loaded only once.
-
-* Added fixture accessor methods that can be used when instantiated fixtures are disabled.
-
-    fixtures :web_sites
-
-    def test_something
-      assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", web_sites(:rubyonrails).name
-    end
-
-* Added DoubleRenderError exception that'll be raised if render* is called twice #518 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed exceptions occuring after render has been called #1096 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* CHANGED: validates_presence_of now uses Errors#add_on_blank, which will make "  " fail the validation where it didn't before #1309
-
-* Added Errors#add_on_blank which works like Errors#add_on_empty, but uses Object#blank? instead
-
-* Added the :if option to all validations that can either use a block or a method pointer to determine whether the validation should be run or not. #1324 [Duane Johnson/jhosteny]. Examples:
-
-  Conditional validations such as the following are made possible:
-    validates_numericality_of :income, :if => :employed?
-
-  Conditional validations can also solve the salted login generator problem:
-    validates_confirmation_of :password, :if => :new_password?
-
-  Using blocks:
-    validates_presence_of :username, :if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 1 }
-
-* Fixed use of construct_finder_sql when using :join #1288 [dwlt@dwlt.net]
-
-* Fixed that :delete_sql in has_and_belongs_to_many associations couldn't access record properties #1299 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed that clone would break when an aggregate had the same name as one of its attributes #1307 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Changed that destroying an object will only freeze the attributes hash, which keeps the object from having attributes changed (as that wouldn't make sense), but allows for the querying of associations after it has been destroyed.
-
-* Changed the callbacks such that observers are notified before the in-object callbacks are triggered. Without this change, it wasn't possible to act on the whole object in something like a before_destroy observer without having the objects own callbacks (like deleting associations) called first.
-
-* Added option for passing an array to the find_all version of the dynamic finders and have it evaluated as an IN fragment. Example:
-
-    # SELECT * FROM topics WHERE title IN ('First', 'Second')
-    Topic.find_all_by_title(["First", "Second"])
-
-* Added compatibility with camelCase column names for dynamic finders #533 [Dee Zsombor]
-
-* Fixed extraneous comma in count() function that made it not work with joins #1156 [Jarkko Laine/Dee Zsombor]
-
-* Fixed incompatibility with Base#find with an array of ids that would fail when using eager loading #1186 [Alisdair McDiarmid]
-
-* Fixed that validate_length_of lost :on option when :within was specified #1195 [jhosteny@mac.com]
-
-* Added encoding and min_messages options for PostgreSQL #1205 [Shugo Maeda]. Configuration example:
-
-    development:
-      adapter: postgresql
-      database: rails_development
-      host: localhost
-      username: postgres
-      password:
-      encoding: UTF8
-      min_messages: ERROR
-
-* Fixed acts_as_list where deleting an item that was removed from the list would ruin the positioning of other list items #1197 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added validates_exclusion_of as a negative of validates_inclusion_of
-
-* Optimized counting of has_many associations by setting the association to empty if the count is 0 so repeated calls doesn't trigger database calls
-
-
-*1.10.1* (20th April, 2005)
-
-* Fixed frivilous database queries being triggered with eager loading on empty associations and other things
-
-* Fixed order of loading in eager associations
-
-* Fixed stray comma when using eager loading and ordering together from has_many associations #1143
-
-
-*1.10.0* (19th April, 2005)
-
-* Added eager loading of associations as a way to solve the N+1 problem more gracefully without piggy-back queries. Example:
-
-    for post in Post.find(:all, :limit => 100)
-      puts "Post:            " + post.title
-      puts "Written by:      " + post.author.name
-      puts "Last comment on: " + post.comments.first.created_on
-    end
-
-  This used to generate 301 database queries if all 100 posts had both author and comments. It can now be written as:
-
-    for post in Post.find(:all, :limit => 100, :include => [ :author, :comments ])
-
-  ...and the number of database queries needed is now 1.
-
-* Added new unified Base.find API and deprecated the use of find_first and find_all. See the documentation for Base.find. Examples:
-
-    Person.find(1, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
-    Person.find(1, 5, 6, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
-    Person.find(:first, :order => "created_on DESC", :offset => 5)
-    Person.find(:all, :conditions => [ "category IN (?)", categories], :limit => 50)
-    Person.find(:all, :offset => 10, :limit => 10)
-
-* Added acts_as_nested_set #1000 [wschenk]. Introduction:
-
-    This acts provides Nested Set functionality.  Nested Set is similiar to Tree, but with
-    the added feature that you can select the children and all of it's descendants with
-    a single query.  A good use case for this is a threaded post system, where you want
-    to display every reply to a comment without multiple selects.
-
-* Added Base.save! that attempts to save the record just like Base.save but will raise a RecordInvalid exception instead of returning false if the record is not valid [Dave Thomas]
-
-* Fixed PostgreSQL usage of fixtures with regards to public schemas and table names with dots #962 [gnuman1@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed that fixtures were being deleted in the same order as inserts causing FK errors #890 [andrew.john.peters@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed loading of fixtures in to be in the right order (or PostgreSQL would bark) #1047 [stephenh@chase3000.com]
-
-* Fixed page caching for non-vhost applications living underneath the root #1004 [Ben Schumacher]
-
-* Fixes a problem with the SQL Adapter which was resulting in IDENTITY_INSERT not being set to ON when it should be #1104 [adelle]
-
-* Added the option to specify the acceptance string in validates_acceptance_of #1106 [caleb@aei-tech.com]
-
-* Added insert_at(position) to acts_as_list #1083 [DeLynnB]
-
-* Removed the default order by id on has_and_belongs_to_many queries as it could kill performance on large sets (you can still specify by hand with :order)
-
-* Fixed that Base.silence should restore the old logger level when done, not just set it to DEBUG #1084 [yon@milliped.com]
-
-* Fixed boolean saving on Oracle #1093 [mparrish@pearware.org]
-
-* Moved build_association and create_association for has_one and belongs_to out of deprecation as they work when the association is nil unlike association.build and association.create, which require the association to be already in place #864
-
-* Added rollbacks of transactions if they're active as the dispatcher is killed gracefully (TERM signal) #1054 [Leon Bredt]
-
-* Added quoting of column names for fixtures #997 [jcfischer@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed counter_sql when no records exist in database for PostgreSQL (would give error, not 0) #1039 [Caleb Tennis]
-
-* Fixed that benchmarking times for rendering included db runtimes #987 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Fixed boolean queries for t/f fields in PostgreSQL #995 [dave@cherryville.org]
-
-* Added that model.items.delete(child) will delete the child, not just set the foreign key to nil, if the child is dependent on the model #978 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed auto-stamping of dates (created_on/updated_on) for PostgreSQL #985 [dave@cherryville.org]
-
-* Fixed Base.silence/benchmark to only log if a logger has been configured #986 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Added a join parameter as the third argument to Base.find_first and as the second to Base.count #426, #988 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Fixed bug in Base#hash method that would treat records with the same string-based id as different [Dave Thomas]
-
-* Renamed DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words_to_now to DateHelper#time_ago_in_words (old method name is still available as a deprecated alias)
-
-
-*1.9.1* (27th March, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that Active Record objects with float attribute could not be cloned #808
-
-* Fixed that MissingSourceFile's wasn't properly detected in production mode #925 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed that :counter_cache option would look for a line_items_count column for a LineItem object instead of lineitems_count
-
-* Fixed that AR exists?() would explode on postgresql if the passed id did not match the PK type #900 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Fixed the MS SQL adapter to work with the new limit/offset approach and with binary data (still suffering from 7KB limit, though) #901 [delynnb]
-
-
-*1.9.0* (22th March, 2005)
-
-* Added adapter independent limit clause as a two-element array with the first being the limit, the second being the offset #795 [Sam Stephenson]. Example:
-
-    Developer.find_all nil, 'id ASC', 5      # return the first five developers
-    Developer.find_all nil, 'id ASC', [3, 8] # return three developers, starting from #8 and forward
-
-  This doesn't yet work with the DB2 or MS SQL adapters. Patches to make that happen are encouraged.
-
-* Added alias_method :to_param, :id to Base, such that Active Record objects to be used as URL parameters in Action Pack automatically #812 [Nicholas Seckar/Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Improved the performance of the OCI8 adapter for Oracle #723 [pilx/gjenkins]
-
-* Added type conversion before saving a record, so string-based values like "10.0" aren't left for the database to convert #820 [dave@cherryville.org]
-
-* Added with additional settings for working with transactional fixtures and pre-loaded test databases #865 [mindel]
-
-* Fixed acts_as_list to trigger remove_from_list on destroy after the fact, not before, so a unique position can be maintained #871 [Alisdair McDiarmid]
-
-* Added the possibility of specifying fixtures in multiple calls #816 [kim@tinker.com]
-
-* Added Base.exists?(id) that'll return true if an object of the class with the given id exists #854 [stian@grytoyr.net]
-
-* Added optionally allow for nil or empty strings with validates_numericality_of #801 [Sebastian Kanthak]
-
-* Fixed problem with using slashes in validates_format_of regular expressions #801 [Sebastian Kanthak]
-
-* Fixed that SQLite3 exceptions are caught and reported properly #823 [yerejm]
-
-* Added that all types of after_find/after_initialized callbacks are triggered if the explicit implementation is present, not only the explicit implementation itself
-
-* Fixed that symbols can be used on attribute assignment, like page.emails.create(:subject => data.subject, :body => data.body)
-
-
-*1.8.0* (7th March, 2005)
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Base.colorize_logging to control whether to use colors in logs or not (on by default)
-
-* Added support for timestamp with time zone in PostgreSQL #560 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Added MultiparameterAssignmentErrors and AttributeAssignmentError exceptions #777 [demetrius]. Documentation:
-
-   * +MultiparameterAssignmentErrors+ -- collection of errors that occurred during a mass assignment using the
-     +attributes=+ method. The +errors+ property of this exception contains an array of +AttributeAssignmentError+
-     objects that should be inspected to determine which attributes triggered the errors.
-   * +AttributeAssignmentError+ -- an error occurred while doing a mass assignment through the +attributes=+ method.
-     You can inspect the +attribute+ property of the exception object to determine which attribute triggered the error.
-
-* Fixed that postgresql adapter would fails when reading bytea fields with null value #771 [rodrigo k]
-
-* Added transactional fixtures that uses rollback to undo changes to fixtures instead of DELETE/INSERT -- it's much faster. See documentation under Fixtures #760 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added destruction of dependent objects in has_one associations when a new assignment happens #742 [mindel]. Example:
-
-    class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_one :credit_card, :dependent => true
-    end
-    class CreditCard < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :account
-    end
-
-    account.credit_card # => returns existing credit card, lets say id = 12
-    account.credit_card = CreditCard.create("number" => "123")
-    account.save # => CC with id = 12 is destroyed
-
-
-* Added validates_numericality_of #716 [Sebastian Kanthak/Chris McGrath]. Docuemntation:
-
-    Validates whether the value of the specified attribute is numeric by trying to convert it to
-    a float with Kernel.Float (if <tt>integer</tt> is false) or applying it to the regular expression
-    <tt>/^[\+\-]?\d+$/</tt> (if <tt>integer</tt> is set to true).
-
-      class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-        validates_numericality_of :value, :on => :create
-      end
-
-    Configuration options:
-    * <tt>message</tt> - A custom error message (default is: "is not a number")
-    * <tt>on</tt> Specifies when this validation is active (default is :save, other options :create, :update)
-    * <tt>only_integer</tt> Specifies whether the value has to be an integer, e.g. an integral value (default is false)
-
-
-* Fixed that HasManyAssociation#count was using :finder_sql rather than :counter_sql if it was available #445 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Added better defaults for composed_of, so statements like composed_of :time_zone, :mapping => %w( time_zone time_zone ) can be written without the mapping part (it's now assumed)
-
-* Added MacroReflection#macro which will return a symbol describing the macro used (like :composed_of or :has_many) #718, #248 [james@slashetc.com]
-
-
-*1.7.0* (24th February, 2005)
-
-* Changed the auto-timestamping feature to use ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone instead of entertaining the parallel ActiveRecord::Base.timestamps_gmt method. The latter is now deprecated and will throw a warning on use (but still work) #710 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added a OCI8-based Oracle adapter that has been verified to work with Oracle 8 and 9 #629 [Graham Jenkins]. Usage notes:
-
-    1.  Key generation uses a sequence "rails_sequence" for all tables. (I couldn't find a simple
-        and safe way of passing table-specific sequence information to the adapter.)
-    2.  Oracle uses DATE or TIMESTAMP datatypes for both dates and times. Consequently I have had to
-        resort to some hacks to get data converted to Date or Time in Ruby.
-        If the column_name ends in _at (like created_at, updated_at) it's created as a Ruby Time. Else if the
-        hours/minutes/seconds are 0, I make it a Ruby Date. Else it's a Ruby Time.
-        This is nasty - but if you use Duck Typing you'll probably not care very much.
-        In 9i it's tempting to map DATE to Date and TIMESTAMP to Time but I don't think that is
-        valid - too many databases use DATE for both.
-        Timezones and sub-second precision on timestamps are not supported.
-    3.  Default values that are functions (such as "SYSDATE") are not supported. This is a
-        restriction of the way active record supports default values.
-    4.  Referential integrity constraints are not fully supported. Under at least
-        some circumstances, active record appears to delete parent and child records out of
-        sequence and out of transaction scope. (Or this may just be a problem of test setup.)
-
-  The OCI8 driver can be retrieved from http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/
-
-* Added option :schema_order to the PostgreSQL adapter to support the use of multiple schemas per database #697 [YuriSchimke]
-
-* Optimized the SQL used to generate has_and_belongs_to_many queries by listing the join table first #693 [yerejm]
-
-* Fixed that when using validation macros with a custom message, if you happened to use single quotes in the message string you would get a parsing error #657 [tonka]
-
-* Fixed that Active Record would throw Broken Pipe errors with FCGI when the MySQL connection timed out instead of reconnecting #428 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added options to specify an SSL connection for MySQL. Define the following attributes in the connection config (config/database.yml in Rails) to use it: sslkey, sslcert, sslca, sslcapath, sslcipher. To use SSL with no client certs, just set :sslca = '/dev/null'. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/secure-connections.html #604 [daniel@nightrunner.com]
-
-* Added automatic dropping/creating of test tables for running the unit tests on all databases #587 [adelle@bullet.net.au]
-
-* Fixed that find_by_* would fail when column names had numbers #670 [demetrius]
-
-* Fixed the SQL Server adapter on a bunch of issues #667 [DeLynn]
-
-    1. Created a new columns method that is much cleaner.
-    2. Corrected a problem with the select and select_all methods
-       that didn't account for the LIMIT clause being passed into raw SQL statements.
-    3. Implemented the string_to_time method in order to create proper instances of the time class.
-    4. Added logic to the simplified_type method that allows the database to specify the scale of float data.
-    5. Adjusted the quote_column_name to account for the fact that MS SQL is bothered by a forward slash in the data string.
-
-* Fixed that the dynamic finder like find_all_by_something_boolean(false) didn't work #649 [lmarlow]
-
-* Added validates_each that validates each specified attribute against a block #610 [Jeremy Kemper]. Example:
-
-    class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-      validates_each :first_name, :last_name do |record, attr|
-        record.errors.add attr, 'starts with z.' if attr[0] == ?z
-      end
-    end
-
-* Added :allow_nil as an explicit option for validates_length_of, so unless that's set to true having the attribute as nil will also return an error if a range is specified as :within #610 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added that validates_* now accept blocks to perform validations #618 [Tim Bates]. Example:
-
-    class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-      validate { |person| person.errors.add("title", "will never be valid") if SHOULD_NEVER_BE_VALID }
-    end
-
-* Addded validation for validate all the associated objects before declaring failure with validates_associated #618 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Added keyword-style approach to defining the custom relational bindings #545 [Jamis Buck]. Example:
-
-    class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
-      primary_key "sysid"
-      table_name "XYZ_PROJECT"
-      inheritance_column { original_inheritance_column + "_id" }
-    end
-
-* Fixed Base#clone for use with PostgreSQL #565 [hanson@surgery.wisc.edu]
-
-
-*1.6.0* (January 25th, 2005)
-
-* Added that has_many association build and create methods can take arrays of record data like Base#create and Base#build to build/create multiple records at once.
-
-* Added that Base#delete and Base#destroy both can take an array of ids to delete/destroy #336
-
-* Added the option of supplying an array of attributes to Base#create, so that multiple records can be created at once.
-
-* Added the option of supplying an array of ids and attributes to Base#update, so that multiple records can be updated at once (inspired by #526/Duane Johnson). Example
-
-    people = { 1 => { "first_name" => "David" }, 2 => { "first_name" => "Jeremy"} }
-    Person.update(people.keys, people.values)
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Base.timestamps_gmt that can be set to true to make the automated timestamping use GMT instead of local time #520 [Scott Baron]
-
-* Added that update_all calls sanitize_sql on its updates argument, so stuff like MyRecord.update_all(['time = ?', Time.now]) works #519 [notahat]
-
-* Fixed that the dynamic finders didn't treat nil as a "IS NULL" but rather "= NULL" case #515 [Demetrius]
-
-* Added bind-named arrays for interpolating a group of ids or strings in conditions #528 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added that has_and_belongs_to_many associations with additional attributes also can be created between unsaved objects and only committed to the database when Base#save is called on the associator #524 [Eric Anderson]
-
-* Fixed that records fetched with piggy-back attributes or through rich has_and_belongs_to_many associations couldn't be saved due to the extra attributes not part of the table #522 [Eric Anderson]
-
-* Added mass-assignment protection for the inheritance column -- regardless of a custom column is used or not
-
-* Fixed that association proxies would fail === tests like PremiumSubscription === @account.subscription
-
-* Fixed that column aliases didn't work as expected with the new MySql411 driver #507 [Demetrius]
-
-* Fixed that find_all would produce invalid sql when called sequentialy #490 [Scott Baron]
-
-
-*1.5.1* (January 18th, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that the belongs_to and has_one proxy would fail a test like 'if project.manager' -- this unfortunately also means that you can't call methods like project.manager.build unless there already is a manager on the project #492 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Fixed that the Ruby/MySQL adapter wouldn't connect if the password was empty #503 [Pelle]
-
-
-*1.5.0* (January 17th, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that unit tests for MySQL are now run as the "rails" user instead of root #455 [Eric Hodel]
-
-* Added validates_associated that enables validation of objects in an unsaved association #398 [Tim Bates]. Example:
-
-    class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :pages
-      belongs_to :library
-
-      validates_associated :pages, :library
-    end
-
-* Added support for associating unsaved objects #402 [Tim Bates]. Rules that govern this addition:
-
-    == Unsaved objects and associations
-
-    You can manipulate objects and associations before they are saved to the database, but there is some special behaviour you should be
-    aware of, mostly involving the saving of associated objects.
-
-    === One-to-one associations
-
-    * Assigning an object to a has_one association automatically saves that object, and the object being replaced (if there is one), in
-      order to update their primary keys - except if the parent object is unsaved (new_record? == true).
-    * If either of these saves fail (due to one of the objects being invalid) the assignment statement returns false and the assignment
-      is cancelled.
-    * If you wish to assign an object to a has_one association without saving it, use the #association.build method (documented below).
-    * Assigning an object to a belongs_to association does not save the object, since the foreign key field belongs on the parent. It does
-      not save the parent either.
-
-    === Collections
-
-    * Adding an object to a collection (has_many or has_and_belongs_to_many) automatically saves that object, except if the parent object
-      (the owner of the collection) is not yet stored in the database.
-    * If saving any of the objects being added to a collection (via #push or similar) fails, then #push returns false.
-    * You can add an object to a collection without automatically saving it by using the #collection.build method (documented below).
-    * All unsaved (new_record? == true) members of the collection are automatically saved when the parent is saved.
-
-* Added replace to associations, so you can do project.manager.replace(new_manager) or project.milestones.replace(new_milestones) #402 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Added build and create methods to has_one and belongs_to associations, so you can now do project.manager.build(attributes) #402 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Added that if a before_* callback returns false, all the later callbacks and the associated action are cancelled. If an after_* callback returns false, all the later callbacks are cancelled. Callbacks are generally run in the order they are defined, with the exception of callbacks defined as methods on the model, which are called last. #402 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Fixed that Base#== wouldn't work for multiple references to the same unsaved object #402 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Fixed binary support for PostgreSQL #444 [alex@byzantine.no]
-
-* Added a differenciation between AssociationCollection#size and -length. Now AssociationCollection#size returns the size of the
-  collection by executing a SELECT COUNT(*) query if the collection hasn't been loaded and calling collection.size if it has. If
-  it's more likely than not that the collection does have a size larger than zero and you need to fetch that collection afterwards,
-  it'll take one less SELECT query if you use length.
-
-* Added Base#attributes that returns a hash of all the attributes with their names as keys and clones of their objects as values #433 [atyp.de]
-
-* Fixed that foreign keys named the same as the association would cause stack overflow #437 [Eric Anderson]
-
-* Fixed default scope of acts_as_list from "1" to "1 = 1", so it'll work in PostgreSQL (among other places) #427 [Alexey]
-
-* Added Base#reload that reloads the attributes of an object from the database #422 [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Added SQLite3 compatibility through the sqlite3-ruby adapter by Jamis Buck #381 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added support for the new protocol spoken by MySQL 4.1.1+ servers for the Ruby/MySQL adapter that ships with Rails #440 [Matt Mower]
-
-* Added that Observers can use the observes class method instead of overwriting self.observed_class().
-
-    Before:
-      class ListSweeper < ActiveRecord::Base
-        def self.observed_class() [ List, Item ]
-      end
-
-    After:
-      class ListSweeper < ActiveRecord::Base
-        observes List, Item
-      end
-
-* Fixed that conditions in has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many should be interpolated just like the finder_sql is
-
-* Fixed Base#update_attribute to be indifferent to whether a string or symbol is used to describe the name
-
-* Added Base#toggle(attribute) and Base#toggle!(attribute) that makes it easier to flip a switch or flag.
-
-    Before: topic.update_attribute(:approved, !approved?)
-    After : topic.toggle!(:approved)
-
-* Added Base#increment!(attribute) and Base#decrement!(attribute) that also saves the records. Example:
-
-    page.views # => 1
-    page.increment!(:views) # executes an UPDATE statement
-    page.views # => 2
-
-    page.increment(:views).increment!(:views)
-    page.views # => 4
-
-* Added Base#increment(attribute) and Base#decrement(attribute) that encapsulates the += 1 and -= 1 patterns.
-
-

-    end
-
-    Post.find :all, :include => :tagging
-
-* Added descriptive error messages for invalid has_many :through associations: going through :has_one or :has_and_belongs_to_many [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added support for going through a polymorphic has_many association: (closes #4401) [Rick Olson]
-
-    class PhotoCollection < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :photos, :as => :photographic
-      belongs_to :firm
-    end
-
-    class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :photo_collections
-      has_many :photos, :through => :photo_collections
-    end
-
-* Multiple fixes and optimizations in PostgreSQL adapter, allowing ruby-postgres gem to work properly. [ruben.nine@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed that AssociationCollection#delete_all should work even if the records of the association are not loaded yet. [Florian Weber]
-
-* Changed those private ActiveRecord methods to take optional third argument :auto instead of nil for performance optimizations.  (closes #4456) [Stefan]
-
-* Private ActiveRecord methods add_limit!, add_joins!, and add_conditions! take an OPTIONAL third argument 'scope' (closes #4456) [Rick Olson]
-
-* DEPRECATED: Using additional attributes on has_and_belongs_to_many associations. Instead upgrade your association to be a real join model [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed that records returned from has_and_belongs_to_many associations with additional attributes should be marked as read only (fixes #4512) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Do not implicitly mark recordss of has_many :through as readonly but do mark habtm records as readonly (eventually only on join tables without rich attributes). [Marcel Mollina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed broken OCIAdapter #4457 [Michael Schoen]
-
-
-*1.14.0* (March 27th, 2006)

-
-* Fixed db_schema_import when binary types are present #3101 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed that MySQL enums should always be returned as strings #3501 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Change has_many :through to use the :source option to specify the source association.  :class_name is now ignored. [Rick Olson]
-
-    class Connection < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :user
-      belongs_to :channel
-    end
-
-    class Channel < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :connections
-      has_many :contacts, :through => :connections, :class_name => 'User' # OLD
-      has_many :contacts, :through => :connections, :source => :user      # NEW
-    end
-
-* Fixed DB2 adapter so nullable columns will be determines correctly now and quotes from column default values will be removed #4350 [contact@maik-schmidt.de]
-
-* Allow overriding of find parameters in scoped has_many :through calls [Rick Olson]
-
-  In this example, :include => false disables the default eager association from loading.  :select changes the standard
-  select clause.  :joins specifies a join that is added to the end of the has_many :through query.
-
-    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :tags, :through => :taggings, :include => :tagging do
-        def add_joins_and_select
-          find :all, :select => 'tags.*, authors.id as author_id', :include => false,
-            :joins => 'left outer join posts on taggings.taggable_id = posts.id left outer join authors on posts.author_id = authors.id'
-        end
-      end
-    end
-
-* Fixed that schema changes while the database was open would break any connections to an SQLite database (now we reconnect if that error is throw) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Don't classify the has_one class when eager loading, it is already singular. Add tests. (closes #4117) [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* Quit ignoring default :include options in has_many :through calls [Mark James]
-
-* Allow has_many :through associations to find the source association by setting a custom class (closes #4307) [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* Eager Loading support added for has_many :through => :has_many associations (see below).  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Allow has_many :through to work on has_many associations (closes #3864) [sco@scottraymond.net]  Example:
-
-    class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :clients
-      has_many :invoices, :through => :clients
-    end
-
-    class Client < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :firm
-      has_many   :invoices
-    end
-
-    class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :client
-    end
-
-* Raise error when trying to select many polymorphic objects with has_many :through or :include (closes #4226) [Josh Susser]
-
-* Fixed has_many :through to include :conditions set on the :through association. closes #4020 [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* Fix that has_many :through honors the foreign key set by the belongs_to association in the join model (closes #4259) [andylien@gmail.com / Rick Olson]
-
-* SQL Server adapter gets some love #4298 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Added OpenBase database adapter that builds on top of the http://www.spice-of-life.net/ruby-openbase/ driver. All functionality except LIMIT/OFFSET is supported #3528 [derrickspell@cdmplus.com]
-
-* Rework table aliasing to account for truncated table aliases.  Add smarter table aliasing when doing eager loading of STI associations. This allows you to use the association name in the order/where clause. [Jonathan Viney / Rick Olson] #4108 Example (SpecialComment is using STI):
-
-    Author.find(:all, :include => { :posts => :special_comments }, :order => 'special_comments.body')
-
-* Add AbstractAdapter#table_alias_for to create table aliases according to the rules of the current adapter. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Provide access to the underlying database connection through Adapter#raw_connection. Enables the use of db-specific methods without complicating the adapters. #2090 [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Remove broken attempts at handling columns with a default of 'now()' in the postgresql adapter. #2257 [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Added connection#current_database that'll return of the current database (only works in MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle so far -- please help implement for the rest of the adapters) #3663 [Tom Ward]
-
-* Fixed that Migration#execute would have the table name prefix appended to its query #4110 [mark.imbriaco@pobox.com]
-
-* Make all tinyint(1) variants act like boolean in mysql (tinyint(1) unsigned, etc.) [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Use association's :conditions when eager loading. [Jeremy Evans] #4144
-
-* Alias the has_and_belongs_to_many join table on eager includes. #4106 [Jeremy Evans]
-
-  This statement would normally error because the projects_developers table is joined twice, and therefore joined_on would be ambiguous.
-
-    Developer.find(:all, :include => {:projects => :developers}, :conditions => 'join_project_developers.joined_on IS NOT NULL')
-
-* Oracle adapter gets some love #4230 [Michael Schoen]
-
-    * Changes :text to CLOB rather than BLOB [Moses Hohman]
-    * Fixes an issue with nil numeric length/scales (several)
-    * Implements support for XMLTYPE columns [wilig / Kubo Takehiro]
-    * Tweaks a unit test to get it all green again
-    * Adds support for #current_database
-
-* Added Base.abstract_class? that marks which classes are not part of the Active Record hierarchy #3704 [Rick Olson]
-
-    class CachedModel < ActiveRecord::Base
-      self.abstract_class = true
-    end
-
-    class Post < CachedModel
-    end
-
-    CachedModel.abstract_class?
-    => true
-
-    Post.abstract_class?
-    => false
-
-    Post.base_class
-    => Post
-
-    Post.table_name
-    => 'posts'
-
-* Allow :dependent options to be used with polymorphic joins. #3820 [Rick Olson]
-
-    class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :attachments, :as => :attachable, :dependent => :delete_all
-    end
-
-* Nicer error message on has_many :through when :through reflection can not be found. #4042 [court3nay]
-
-* Upgrade to Transaction::Simple 1.3 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Catch FixtureClassNotFound when using instantiated fixtures on a fixture that has no ActiveRecord model [Rick Olson]
-
-* Allow ordering of calculated results and/or grouped fields in calculations [solo@gatelys.com]
-
-* Make ActiveRecord::Base#save! return true instead of nil on success.  #4173 [johan@johansorensen.com]
-
-* Dynamically set allow_concurrency.  #4044 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Added Base#to_xml that'll turn the current record into a XML representation [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    topic.to_xml
-
-  ...returns:
-
-    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-    <topic>
-      <title>The First Topic</title>
-      <author-name>David</author-name>
-      <id type="integer">1</id>
-      <approved type="boolean">false</approved>
-      <replies-count type="integer">0</replies-count>
-      <bonus-time type="datetime">2000-01-01 08:28:00</bonus-time>
-      <written-on type="datetime">2003-07-16 09:28:00</written-on>
-      <content>Have a nice day</content>
-      <author-email-address>david@loudthinking.com</author-email-address>
-      <parent-id></parent-id>
-      <last-read type="date">2004-04-15</last-read>
-    </topic>
-
-  ...and you can configure with:
-
-    topic.to_xml(:skip_instruct => true, :except => [ :id, bonus_time, :written_on, replies_count ])
-
-  ...that'll return:
-
-    <topic>
-      <title>The First Topic</title>
-      <author-name>David</author-name>
-      <approved type="boolean">false</approved>
-      <content>Have a nice day</content>
-      <author-email-address>david@loudthinking.com</author-email-address>
-      <parent-id></parent-id>
-      <last-read type="date">2004-04-15</last-read>
-    </topic>
-
-  You can even do load first-level associations as part of the document:
-
-    firm.to_xml :include => [ :account, :clients ]
-
-  ...that'll return something like:
-
-    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-    <firm>
-      <id type="integer">1</id>
-      <rating type="integer">1</rating>
-      <name>37signals</name>
-      <clients>
-        <client>
-          <rating type="integer">1</rating>
-          <name>Summit</name>
-        </client>
-        <client>
-          <rating type="integer">1</rating>
-          <name>Microsoft</name>
-        </client>
-      </clients>
-      <account>
-        <id type="integer">1</id>
-        <credit-limit type="integer">50</credit-limit>
-      </account>
-    </firm>
-
-* Allow :counter_cache to take a column name for custom counter cache columns [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Documentation fixes for :dependent [robby@planetargon.com]
-
-* Stop the MySQL adapter crashing when views are present. #3782 [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* Don't classify the belongs_to class, it is already singular #4117 [keithm@infused.org]
-
-* Allow set_fixture_class to take Classes instead of strings for a class in a module.  Raise FixtureClassNotFound if a fixture can't load.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix quoting of inheritance column for STI eager loading #4098 [Jonathan Viney <jonathan@bluewire.net.nz>]
-
-* Added smarter table aliasing for eager associations for multiple self joins #3580 [Rick Olson]
-
-    * The first time a table is referenced in a join, no alias is used.
-    * After that, the parent class name and the reflection name are used.
-
-        Tree.find(:all, :include => :children) # LEFT OUTER JOIN trees AS tree_children ...
-
-    * Any additional join references get a numerical suffix like '_2', '_3', etc.
-
-* Fixed eager loading problems with single-table inheritance #3580 [Rick Olson]. Post.find(:all, :include => :special_comments) now returns all posts, and any special comments that the posts may have. And made STI work with has_many :through and polymorphic belongs_to.
-
-* Added cascading eager loading that allows for queries like Author.find(:all, :include=> { :posts=> :comments }), which will fetch all authors, their posts, and the comments belonging to those posts in a single query (using LEFT OUTER JOIN) #3913 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:
-
-    # cascaded in two levels
-    >> Author.find(:all, :include=>{:posts=>:comments})
-    => authors
-         +- posts
-              +- comments
-
-    # cascaded in two levels and normal association
-    >> Author.find(:all, :include=>[{:posts=>:comments}, :categorizations])
-    => authors
-         +- posts
-              +- comments
-         +- categorizations
-
-    # cascaded in two levels with two has_many associations
-    >> Author.find(:all, :include=>{:posts=>[:comments, :categorizations]})
-    => authors
-         +- posts
-              +- comments
-              +- categorizations
-
-    # cascaded in three levels
-    >> Company.find(:all, :include=>{:groups=>{:members=>{:favorites}}})
-    => companies
-         +- groups
-              +- members
-                   +- favorites
-

-
-* Make migrations verbose [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Make counter_cache work with polymorphic belongs_to [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Fixed that calling HasOneProxy#build_model repeatedly would cause saving to happen #4058 [anna@wota.jp]
-
-* Added Sybase database adapter that relies on the Sybase Open Client bindings (see http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/sybase-ctlib) #3765 [John Sheets]. It's almost completely Active Record compliant (including migrations), but has the following caveats:
-
-    * Does not support DATE SQL column types; use DATETIME instead.
-    * Date columns on HABTM join tables are returned as String, not Time.
-    * Insertions are potentially broken for :polymorphic join tables
-    * BLOB column access not yet fully supported
-
-* Clear stale, cached connections left behind by defunct threads. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* CHANGED DEFAULT: set ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency to false.  Most AR usage is in single-threaded applications. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Renamed the "oci" adapter to "oracle", but kept the old name as an alias #4017 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Fixed that Base.save should always return false if the save didn't succeed, including if it has halted by before_save's #1861, #2477 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Speed up class -> connection caching and stale connection verification.  #3979 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Add set_fixture_class to allow the use of table name accessors with models which use set_table_name. [Kevin Clark]
-
-* Added that fixtures to placed in subdirectories of the main fixture files are also loaded #3937 [dblack@wobblini.net]
-
-* Define attribute query methods to avoid method_missing calls. #3677 [Jonathan Viney]
-
-* ActiveRecord::Base.remove_connection explicitly closes database connections and doesn't corrupt the connection cache. Introducing the disconnect! instance method for the PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server adapters; implementations for the others are welcome.  #3591 [Simon Stapleton, Tom Ward]
-
-* Added support for nested scopes #3407 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:
-
-    Developer.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => "salary > 10000", :limit => 10 }) do
-      Developer.find(:all)     # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (salary > 10000) LIMIT 10
-
-      # inner rule is used. (all previous parameters are ignored)
-      Developer.with_exclusive_scope(:find => { :conditions => "name = 'Jamis'" }) do
-        Developer.find(:all)   # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (name = 'Jamis')
-      end
-
-      # parameters are merged
-      Developer.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => "name = 'Jamis'" }) do
-        Developer.find(:all)   # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (( salary > 10000 ) AND ( name = 'Jamis' )) LIMIT 10
-      end
-    end
-
-* Fixed db2 connection with empty user_name and auth options #3622 [phurley@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed validates_length_of to work on UTF-8 strings by using characters instead of bytes #3699 [Masao Mutoh]
-
-* Fixed that reflections would bleed across class boundaries in single-table inheritance setups #3796 [Lars Pind]
-
-* Added calculations: Base.count, Base.average, Base.sum, Base.minimum, Base.maxmium, and the generic Base.calculate. All can be used with :group and :having. Calculations and statitics need no longer require custom SQL. #3958 [Rick Olson]. Examples:
-
-    Person.average :age
-    Person.minimum :age
-    Person.maximum :age
-    Person.sum :salary, :group => :last_name
-
-* Renamed Errors#count to Errors#size but kept an alias for the old name (and included an alias for length too) #3920 [Luke Redpath]
-
-* Reflections don't attempt to resolve module nesting of association classes. Simplify type computation. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Improved the Oracle OCI Adapter with better performance for column reflection (from #3210), fixes to migrations (from #3476 and #3742), tweaks to unit tests (from #3610), and improved documentation (from #2446) #3879 [Aggregated by schoenm@earthlink.net]
-
-* Fixed that the schema_info table used by ActiveRecord::Schema.define should respect table pre- and suffixes #3834 [rubyonrails@atyp.de]
-
-* Added :select option to Base.count that'll allow you to select something else than * to be counted on. Especially important for count queries using DISTINCT #3839 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Correct syntax error in mysql DDL,  and make AAACreateTablesTest run first [Bob Silva]
-
-* Allow :include to be used with has_many :through associations #3611 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* PostgreSQL: smarter schema dumps using pk_and_sequence_for(table).  #2920 [Blair Zajac]
-

-
-* Polymorphic join support for has_one associations (has_one :foo, :as => :bar)  #3785 [Rick Olson]
-
-* PostgreSQL: correctly parse negative integer column defaults.  #3776 [bellis@deepthought.org]
-
-* Fix problems with count when used with :include [Jeremy Hopple and Kevin Clark]
-
-* ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid now states which validations failed in its default error message [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Using AssociationCollection#build with arrays of hashes should call build, not create [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Remove definition of reloadable? from ActiveRecord::Base to make way for new Reloadable code. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed schema handling for DB2 adapter that didn't work: an initial schema could be set, but it wasn't used when getting tables and indexes #3678 [Maik Schmidt]
-
-* Support the :column option for remove_index with the PostgreSQL adapter. #3661 [Shugo Maeda]
-
-* Add documentation for add_index and remove_index. #3600 [Manfred Stienstra <m.stienstra@fngtps.com>]
-
-* If the OCI library is not available, raise an exception indicating as much. #3593 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Add explicit :order in finder tests as postgresql orders results differently by default. #3577. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Make dynamic finders honor additional passed in :conditions. #3569 [Oleg Pudeyev <pudeyo@rpi.edu>, Marcel Molina Jr.]
-

-
-* SchemaDumper now doesn't fail anymore when there are unknown column types in the schema. Instead the table is ignored and a Comment is left in the schema.rb. [Tobias Lütke]
-

-
-* Oracle: use syntax compatible with Oracle 8.  #3131 [Michael Schoen]

-
-* Added preliminary support for polymorphic associations [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added preliminary support for join models [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-

-
-* Fixed bug where using update_attribute after pushing a record to a habtm association of the object caused duplicate rows in the join table. #2888 [colman@rominato.com, Florian Weber, Michael Schoen]
-
-* MySQL, PostgreSQL: reconnect! also reconfigures the connection.  Otherwise, the connection 'loses' its settings if it times out and is reconnected.  #2978 [Shugo Maeda]
-
-* has_and_belongs_to_many: use JOIN instead of LEFT JOIN.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* MySQL: introduce :encoding option to specify the character set for client, connection, and results.  Only available for MySQL 4.1 and later with the mysql-ruby driver.  Do SHOW CHARACTER SET in mysql client to see available encodings.  #2975 [Shugo Maeda]

-* Update documentation for Migrations.  #2861 [Tom Werner <tom@cube6media.com>]
-
-* When AbstractAdapter#log rescues an exception, attempt to detect and reconnect to an inactive database connection.  Connection adapter must respond to the active? and reconnect! instance methods.  Initial support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite.  Make certain that all statements which may need reconnection are performed within a logged block: for example, this means no avoiding log(sql, name) { } if @logger.nil?  #428 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Oracle: Much faster column reflection.  #2848 [Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>]
-
-* Base.reset_sequence_name analogous to reset_table_name (mostly useful for testing).  Base.define_attr_method allows nil values.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* PostgreSQL: smarter sequence name defaults, stricter last_insert_id, warn on pk without sequence.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* PostgreSQL: correctly discover custom primary key sequences.  #2594 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>, meadow.nnick@gmail.com, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* SQLServer: don't report limits for unsupported field types.  #2835 [Ryan Tomayko]
-

-
-* Correct whitespace problem in Oracle default column value parsing.  #2788 [rick@rickbradley.com]
-

-
-* Deprecate the old, confusing :exclusively_dependent option in favor of :dependent => :delete_all.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* More compatible Oracle column reflection.  #2771 [Ryan Davis <ryand-ruby@zenspider.com>, Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>]
-
-
-*1.13.0* (November 7th, 2005)
-
-* Fixed faulty regex in get_table_name method (SQLServerAdapter) #2639 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Added :include as an option for association declarations [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    has_many :posts, :include => [ :author, :comments ]
-
-* Rename Base.constrain to Base.with_scope so it doesn't conflict with existing concept of database constraints.  Make scoping more robust: uniform method => parameters, validated method names and supported finder parameters, raise exception on nested scopes.  [Jeremy Kemper]  Example:
-
-    Comment.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => 'active=true' }, :create => { :post_id => 5 }) do
-      # Find where name = ? and active=true
-      Comment.find :all, :conditions => ['name = ?', name]
-      # Create comment associated with :post_id
-      Comment.create :body => "Hello world"
-    end
-
-* Fixed that SQL Server should ignore :size declarations on anything but integer and string in the agnostic schema representation #2756 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Added constrain scoping for creates using a hash of attributes bound to the :creation key [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    Comment.constrain(:creation => { :post_id => 5 }) do
-      # Associated with :post_id
-      Comment.create :body => "Hello world"
-    end
-
-  This is rarely used directly, but allows for find_or_create on associations. So you can do:
-
-    # If the tag doesn't exist, a new one is created that's associated with the person
-    person.tags.find_or_create_by_name("Summer")
-
-* Added find_or_create_by_X as a second type of dynamic finder that'll create the record if it doesn't already exist [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    # No 'Summer' tag exists
-    Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.create(:name => "Summer")
-
-    # Now the 'Summer' tag does exist
-    Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.find_by_name("Summer")
-
-* Added extension capabilities to has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many proxies [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :people do
-        def find_or_create_by_name(name)
-          first_name, *last_name = name.split
-          last_name = last_name.join " "
-
-          find_or_create_by_first_name_and_last_name(first_name, last_name)
-        end
-      end
-    end
-
-    person = Account.find(:first).people.find_or_create_by_name("David Heinemeier Hansson")
-    person.first_name # => "David"
-    person.last_name  # => "Heinemeier Hansson"
-
-  Note that the anoymous module must be declared using brackets, not do/end (due to order of evaluation).
-
-* Omit internal dtproperties table from SQLServer table list.  #2729 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Quote column names in generated SQL.  #2728 [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Correct the pure-Ruby MySQL 4.1.1 shim's version test.  #2718 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add Model.create! to match existing model.save! method.  When save! raises RecordInvalid, you can catch the exception, retrieve the invalid record (invalid_exception.record), and see its errors (invalid_exception.record.errors).  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Correct fixture behavior when table name pluralization is off.  #2719 [Rick Bradley <rick@rickbradley.com>]
-
-* Changed :dbfile to :database for SQLite adapter for consistency (old key still works as an alias) #2644 [Dan Peterson]
-

-
-* Fixed SQL Server adapter so it honors options[:conditions] when applying :limits #1978 [Tom Ward]
-
-* Added migration support to SQL Server adapter (please someone do the same for Oracle and DB2) #2625 [Tom Ward]
-
-* Use AR::Base.silence rather than AR::Base.logger.silence in fixtures to preserve Log4r compatibility.  #2618 [dansketcher@gmail.com]
-
-* Constraints are cloned so they can't be inadvertently modified while they're
-in effect.  Added :readonly finder constraint.  Calling an association collection's class method (Part.foobar via item.parts.foobar) constrains :readonly => false since the collection's :joins constraint would otherwise force it to true.  [Jeremy Kemper <rails@bitsweat.net>]
-
-* Added :offset and :limit to the kinds of options that Base.constrain can use #2466 [duane.johnson@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed handling of nil number columns on Oracle and cleaned up tests for Oracle in general #2555 [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Added quoted_true and quoted_false methods and tables to db2_adapter and cleaned up tests for DB2 #2493, #2624 [maik schmidt]
-
-
-*1.12.2* (October 26th, 2005)
-
-* Allow symbols to rename columns when using SQLite adapter. #2531 [Kevin Clark]
-
-* Map Active Record time to SQL TIME.  #2575, #2576 [Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>]

-* Clarify semantics of ActiveRecord::Base#respond_to?  #2560 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Fixed Association#clear for associations which have not yet been accessed. #2524 [Patrick Lenz <patrick@lenz.sh>]
-
-* HABTM finders shouldn't return readonly records.  #2525 [Patrick Lenz <patrick@lenz.sh>]
-
-* Make all tests runnable on their own. #2521. [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-
-*1.12.1* (October 19th, 2005)
-

-
-*1.12.0* (October 16th, 2005)
-
-* Update/clean up documentation (rdoc)
-
-* PostgreSQL sequence support.  Use set_sequence_name in your model class to specify its primary key sequence.  #2292 [Rick Olson <technoweenie@gmail.com>, Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>]
-
-* Change default logging colors to work on both white and black backgrounds. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* YAML fixtures support ordered hashes for fixtures with foreign key dependencies in the same table.  #1896 [purestorm@ggnore.net]
-
-* :dependent now accepts :nullify option. Sets the foreign key of the related objects to NULL instead of deleting them. #2015 [Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>]
-
-* Introduce read-only records.  If you call object.readonly! then it will mark the object as read-only and raise ReadOnlyRecord if you call object.save.  object.readonly? reports whether the object is read-only.  Passing :readonly => true to any finder method will mark returned records as read-only.  The :joins option now implies :readonly, so if you use this option, saving the same record will now fail.  Use find_by_sql to work around.
-
-* Avoid memleak in dev mode when using fcgi
-
-* Simplified .clear on active record associations by using the existing delete_records method. #1906 [Caleb <me@cpb.ca>]

-
-* Optimization refactoring for add_limit_offset!. In partial fullfilment of #1236. [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Add ability to get all siblings, including the current child, with acts_as_tree. Recloses #2140. [Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]
-
-* Add geometric type for postgresql adapter. #2233 [Andrew Kaspick]
-
-* Add option (true by default) to generate reader methods for each attribute of a record to avoid the overhead of calling method missing. In partial fullfilment of #1236. [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Add convenience predicate methods on Column class. In partial fullfilment of #1236. [Stefan Kaes]
-

-
-* Use foreign_key inflection uniformly.  #2156 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* model.association.clear should destroy associated objects if :dependent => true instead of nullifying their foreign keys.  #2221 [joergd@pobox.com, ObieFernandez <obiefernandez@gmail.com>]
-
-* Returning false from before_destroy should cancel the action.  #1829 [Jeremy Huffman]
-
-* Recognize PostgreSQL NOW() default as equivalent to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP or CURRENT_DATE, depending on the column's type.  #2256 [mat <mat@absolight.fr>]
-
-* Extensive documentation for the abstract database adapter.  #2250 [François Beausoleil <fbeausoleil@ftml.net>]
-
-* Clean up Fixtures.reset_sequences for PostgreSQL.  Handle tables with no rows and models with custom primary keys.  #2174, #2183 [jay@jay.fm, Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-

-
-* Fixtures should only reset a PostgreSQL sequence if it corresponds to an integer primary key named id.  #1749 [chris@chrisbrinker.com]
-
-* Standardize the interpretation of boolean columns in the Mysql and Sqlite adapters. (Use MysqlAdapter.emulate_booleans = false to disable this behavior)
-
-* Added new symbol-driven approach to activating observers with Base#observers= [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    ActiveRecord::Base.observers = :cacher, :garbage_collector
-
-* Added AbstractAdapter#select_value and AbstractAdapter#select_values as convenience methods for selecting single values, instead of hashes, of the first column in a SELECT #2283 [solo@gatelys.com]

-
-* Fixed various problems with has_and_belongs_to_many when using customer finder_sql #2094 [Florian Weber]
-
-* Added better exception error when unknown column types are used with migrations #1814 [François Beausoleil]
-
-* Fixed "connection lost" issue with the bundled Ruby/MySQL driver (would kill the app after 8 hours of inactivity) #2163, #428 [kajism@yahoo.com]
-
-* Fixed comparison of Active Record objects so two new objects are not equal #2099 [deberg]
-
-* Fixed that the SQL Server adapter would sometimes return DBI::Timestamp objects instead of Time #2127 [Tom Ward]
-
-* Added the instance methods #root and #ancestors on acts_as_tree and fixed siblings to not include the current node #2142, #2140 [coffee2code]
-
-* Fixed that Active Record would call SHOW FIELDS twice (or more) for the same model when the cached results were available #1947 [sd@notso.net]
-
-* Added log_level and use_silence parameter to ActiveRecord::Base.benchmark. The first controls at what level the benchmark statement will be logged (now as debug, instead of info) and the second that can be passed false to include all logging statements during the benchmark block/
-
-* Make sure the schema_info table is created before querying the current version #1903

-
-* Default sequence names for Oracle changed to #{table_name}_seq, which is the most commonly used standard. In addition, a new method ActiveRecord::Base#set_sequence_name allows the developer to set the sequence name per model. This is a non-backwards-compatible change -- anyone using the old-style "rails_sequence" will need to either create new sequences, or set: ActiveRecord::Base.set_sequence_name = "rails_sequence" #1798
-
-* OCIAdapter now properly handles synonyms, which are commonly used to separate out the schema owner from the application user #1798
-
-* Fixed the handling of camelCase columns names in Oracle #1798
-
-* Implemented for OCI the Rakefile tasks of :clone_structure_to_test, :db_structure_dump, and :purge_test_database, which enable Oracle folks to enjoy all the agile goodness of Rails for testing. Note that the current implementation is fairly limited -- only tables and sequences are cloned, not constraints or indexes. A full clone in Oracle generally requires some manual effort, and is version-specific. Post 9i, Oracle recommends the use of the DBMS_METADATA package, though that approach requires editing of the physical characteristics generated #1798
-
-* Fixed the handling of multiple blob columns in Oracle if one or more of them are null #1798
-
-* Added support for calling constrained class methods on has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many collections #1764 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-    class Comment < AR:B
-      def self.search(q)
-        find(:all, :conditions => ["body = ?", q])
-      end
-    end
-
-    class Post < AR:B
-      has_many :comments
-    end
-
-    Post.find(1).comments.search('hi') # => SELECT * from comments WHERE post_id = 1 AND body = 'hi'
-
-  NOTICE: This patch changes the underlying SQL generated by has_and_belongs_to_many queries. If your relying on that, such as
-  by explicitly referencing the old t and j aliases, you'll need to update your code. Of course, you _shouldn't_ be relying on
-  details like that no less than you should be diving in to touch private variables. But just in case you do, consider yourself
-  noticed :)
-
-* Added migration support for SQLite (using temporary tables to simulate ALTER TABLE) #1771 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Remove extra definition of supports_migrations? from abstract_adaptor.rb [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fix acts_as_list so that moving next-to-last item to the bottom does not result in duplicate item positions
-
-* Fixed incompatibility in DB2 adapter with the new limit/offset approach #1718 [Maik Schmidt]
-
-* Added :select option to find which can specify a different value than the default *, like find(:all, :select => "first_name, last_name"), if you either only want to select part of the columns or exclude columns otherwise included from a join #1338 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-
-*1.11.1* (11 July, 2005)
-
-* Added support for limit and offset with eager loading of has_one and belongs_to associations. Using the options with has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many associations will now raise an ActiveRecord::ConfigurationError #1692 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed that assume_bottom_position (in acts_as_list) could be called on items already last in the list and they would move one position away from the list #1648 [tyler@kianta.com]
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Base.threaded_connections flag to turn off 1-connection per thread (required for thread safety). By default it's on, but WEBrick in Rails need it off #1685 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Correct reflected table name for singular associations.  #1688 [court3nay]
-
-* Fixed optimistic locking with SQL Server #1660 [tom@popdog.net]
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrate that can figure out whether to go up or down based on the target version and the current
-
-* Added better error message for "packets out of order" #1630 [court3nay]
-
-* Fixed first run of "rake migrate" on PostgreSQL by not expecting a return value on the id #1640
-
-
-*1.11.0* (6 July, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that Yaml error message in fixtures hid the real error #1623 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Changed logging of SQL statements to use the DEBUG level instead of INFO
-
-* Added new Migrations framework for describing schema transformations in a way that can be easily applied across multiple databases #1604 [Tobias Lütke] See documentation under ActiveRecord::Migration and the additional support in the Rails rakefile/generator.
-
-* Added callback hooks to association collections #1549 [Florian Weber]. Example:
-
-    class Project
-      has_and_belongs_to_many :developers, :before_add => :evaluate_velocity
-
-      def evaluate_velocity(developer)
-        ...
-      end
-    end
-
-  ..raising an exception will cause the object not to be added (or removed, with before_remove).
-
-
-* Fixed Base.content_columns call for SQL Server adapter #1450 [DeLynn Berry]
-
-* Fixed Base#write_attribute to work with both symbols and strings #1190 [Paul Legato]
-
-* Fixed that has_and_belongs_to_many didn't respect single table inheritance types #1081 [Florian Weber]
-
-* Speed up ActiveRecord#method_missing for the common case (read_attribute).
-
-* Only notify observers on after_find and after_initialize if these methods are defined on the model.  #1235 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Fixed that single-table inheritance sub-classes couldn't be used to limit the result set with eager loading #1215 [Chris McGrath]
-
-* Fixed validates_numericality_of to work with overrided getter-method when :allow_nil is on #1316 [raidel@onemail.at]
-
-* Added roots, root, and siblings to the batch of methods added by acts_as_tree #1541 [Michael Schuerig]
-
-* Added support for limit/offset with the MS SQL Server driver so that pagination will now work #1569 [DeLynn Berry]
-
-* Added support for ODBC connections to MS SQL Server so you can connect from a non-Windows machine #1569 [Mark Imbriaco/DeLynn Berry]
-
-* Fixed that multiparameter posts ignored attr_protected #1532 [alec+rails@veryclever.net]
-
-* Fixed problem with eager loading when using a has_and_belongs_to_many association using :association_foreign_key #1504 [flash@vanklinkenbergsoftware.nl]
-
-* Fixed Base#find to honor the documentation on how :joins work and make them consistent with Base#count #1405 [pritchie@gmail.com]. What used to be:
-
-    Developer.find :all, :joins => 'developers_projects', :conditions => 'id=developer_id AND project_id=1'
-
-  ...should instead be:
-
-    Developer.find(
-      :all,
-      :joins => 'LEFT JOIN developers_projects ON developers.id = developers_projects.developer_id',
-      :conditions => 'project_id=1'
-    )
-
-* Fixed that validations didn't respecting custom setting for too_short, too_long messages #1437 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed that clear_association_cache doesn't delete new associations on new records (so you can safely place new records in the session with Action Pack without having new associations wiped) #1494 [cluon]
-
-* Fixed that calling Model.find([]) returns [] and doesn't throw an exception #1379
-
-* Fixed that adding a record to a has_and_belongs_to collection would always save it -- now it only saves if its a new record #1203 [Alisdair McDiarmid]
-
-* Fixed saving of in-memory association structures to happen as a after_create/after_update callback instead of after_save -- that way you can add new associations in after_create/after_update callbacks without getting them saved twice
-
-* Allow any Enumerable, not just Array, to work as bind variables #1344 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added actual database-changing behavior to collection assigment for has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many #1425 [Sebastian Kanthak].
-  Example:
-
-    david.projects = [Project.find(1), Project.new("name" => "ActionWebSearch")]
-    david.save
-
-  If david.projects already contain the project with ID 1, this is left unchanged. Any other projects are dropped. And the new
-  project is saved when david.save is called.
-
-  Also included is a way to do assignments through IDs, which is perfect for checkbox updating, so you get to do:
-
-    david.project_ids = [1, 5, 7]
-
-* Corrected typo in find SQL for has_and_belongs_to_many.  #1312 [ben@bensinclair.com]
-
-* Fixed sanitized conditions for has_many finder method.  #1281 [jackc@hylesanderson.com, pragdave, Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Comprehensive PostgreSQL schema support.  Use the optional schema_search_path directive in database.yml to give a comma-separated list of schemas to search for your tables.  This allows you, for example, to have tables in a shared schema without having to use a custom table name.  See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/ddl-schemas.html to learn more.  #827 [dave@cherryville.org]
-
-* Corrected @@configurations typo #1410 [david@ruppconsulting.com]
-
-* Return PostgreSQL columns in the order they were declared #1374 [perlguy@gmail.com]
-
-* Allow before/after update hooks to work on models using optimistic locking
-
-* Eager loading of dependent has_one associations won't delete the association #1212
-
-* Added a second parameter to the build and create method for has_one that controls whether the existing association should be replaced (which means nullifying its foreign key as well). By default this is true, but false can be passed to prevent it.
-
-* Using transactional fixtures now causes the data to be loaded only once.
-
-* Added fixture accessor methods that can be used when instantiated fixtures are disabled.
-
-    fixtures :web_sites
-
-    def test_something
-      assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", web_sites(:rubyonrails).name
-    end
-
-* Added DoubleRenderError exception that'll be raised if render* is called twice #518 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed exceptions occuring after render has been called #1096 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* CHANGED: validates_presence_of now uses Errors#add_on_blank, which will make "  " fail the validation where it didn't before #1309
-
-* Added Errors#add_on_blank which works like Errors#add_on_empty, but uses Object#blank? instead
-
-* Added the :if option to all validations that can either use a block or a method pointer to determine whether the validation should be run or not. #1324 [Duane Johnson/jhosteny]. Examples:
-
-  Conditional validations such as the following are made possible:
-    validates_numericality_of :income, :if => :employed?
-
-  Conditional validations can also solve the salted login generator problem:
-    validates_confirmation_of :password, :if => :new_password?
-
-  Using blocks:
-    validates_presence_of :username, :if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 1 }
-
-* Fixed use of construct_finder_sql when using :join #1288 [dwlt@dwlt.net]
-
-* Fixed that :delete_sql in has_and_belongs_to_many associations couldn't access record properties #1299 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed that clone would break when an aggregate had the same name as one of its attributes #1307 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Changed that destroying an object will only freeze the attributes hash, which keeps the object from having attributes changed (as that wouldn't make sense), but allows for the querying of associations after it has been destroyed.
-
-* Changed the callbacks such that observers are notified before the in-object callbacks are triggered. Without this change, it wasn't possible to act on the whole object in something like a before_destroy observer without having the objects own callbacks (like deleting associations) called first.
-
-* Added option for passing an array to the find_all version of the dynamic finders and have it evaluated as an IN fragment. Example:
-
-    # SELECT * FROM topics WHERE title IN ('First', 'Second')
-    Topic.find_all_by_title(["First", "Second"])
-
-* Added compatibility with camelCase column names for dynamic finders #533 [Dee Zsombor]
-
-* Fixed extraneous comma in count() function that made it not work with joins #1156 [Jarkko Laine/Dee Zsombor]
-
-* Fixed incompatibility with Base#find with an array of ids that would fail when using eager loading #1186 [Alisdair McDiarmid]
-
-* Fixed that validate_length_of lost :on option when :within was specified #1195 [jhosteny@mac.com]
-
-* Added encoding and min_messages options for PostgreSQL #1205 [Shugo Maeda]. Configuration example:
-
-    development:
-      adapter: postgresql
-      database: rails_development
-      host: localhost
-      username: postgres
-      password:
-      encoding: UTF8
-      min_messages: ERROR
-
-* Fixed acts_as_list where deleting an item that was removed from the list would ruin the positioning of other list items #1197 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added validates_exclusion_of as a negative of validates_inclusion_of
-
-* Optimized counting of has_many associations by setting the association to empty if the count is 0 so repeated calls doesn't trigger database calls
-
-
-*1.10.1* (20th April, 2005)
-
-* Fixed frivilous database queries being triggered with eager loading on empty associations and other things
-
-* Fixed order of loading in eager associations
-
-* Fixed stray comma when using eager loading and ordering together from has_many associations #1143
-
-
-*1.10.0* (19th April, 2005)
-
-* Added eager loading of associations as a way to solve the N+1 problem more gracefully without piggy-back queries. Example:
-
-    for post in Post.find(:all, :limit => 100)
-      puts "Post:            " + post.title
-      puts "Written by:      " + post.author.name
-      puts "Last comment on: " + post.comments.first.created_on
-    end
-
-  This used to generate 301 database queries if all 100 posts had both author and comments. It can now be written as:
-
-    for post in Post.find(:all, :limit => 100, :include => [ :author, :comments ])
-
-  ...and the number of database queries needed is now 1.
-
-* Added new unified Base.find API and deprecated the use of find_first and find_all. See the documentation for Base.find. Examples:
-
-    Person.find(1, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
-    Person.find(1, 5, 6, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
-    Person.find(:first, :order => "created_on DESC", :offset => 5)
-    Person.find(:all, :conditions => [ "category IN (?)", categories], :limit => 50)
-    Person.find(:all, :offset => 10, :limit => 10)
-
-* Added acts_as_nested_set #1000 [wschenk]. Introduction:
-
-    This acts provides Nested Set functionality.  Nested Set is similiar to Tree, but with
-    the added feature that you can select the children and all of it's descendants with
-    a single query.  A good use case for this is a threaded post system, where you want
-    to display every reply to a comment without multiple selects.
-
-* Added Base.save! that attempts to save the record just like Base.save but will raise a RecordInvalid exception instead of returning false if the record is not valid [Dave Thomas]
-
-* Fixed PostgreSQL usage of fixtures with regards to public schemas and table names with dots #962 [gnuman1@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed that fixtures were being deleted in the same order as inserts causing FK errors #890 [andrew.john.peters@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed loading of fixtures in to be in the right order (or PostgreSQL would bark) #1047 [stephenh@chase3000.com]
-
-* Fixed page caching for non-vhost applications living underneath the root #1004 [Ben Schumacher]
-
-* Fixes a problem with the SQL Adapter which was resulting in IDENTITY_INSERT not being set to ON when it should be #1104 [adelle]
-
-* Added the option to specify the acceptance string in validates_acceptance_of #1106 [caleb@aei-tech.com]
-
-* Added insert_at(position) to acts_as_list #1083 [DeLynnB]
-
-* Removed the default order by id on has_and_belongs_to_many queries as it could kill performance on large sets (you can still specify by hand with :order)
-
-* Fixed that Base.silence should restore the old logger level when done, not just set it to DEBUG #1084 [yon@milliped.com]
-
-* Fixed boolean saving on Oracle #1093 [mparrish@pearware.org]
-
-* Moved build_association and create_association for has_one and belongs_to out of deprecation as they work when the association is nil unlike association.build and association.create, which require the association to be already in place #864
-
-* Added rollbacks of transactions if they're active as the dispatcher is killed gracefully (TERM signal) #1054 [Leon Bredt]
-
-* Added quoting of column names for fixtures #997 [jcfischer@gmail.com]
-
-* Fixed counter_sql when no records exist in database for PostgreSQL (would give error, not 0) #1039 [Caleb Tennis]
-
-* Fixed that benchmarking times for rendering included db runtimes #987 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Fixed boolean queries for t/f fields in PostgreSQL #995 [dave@cherryville.org]
-
-* Added that model.items.delete(child) will delete the child, not just set the foreign key to nil, if the child is dependent on the model #978 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed auto-stamping of dates (created_on/updated_on) for PostgreSQL #985 [dave@cherryville.org]
-
-* Fixed Base.silence/benchmark to only log if a logger has been configured #986 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Added a join parameter as the third argument to Base.find_first and as the second to Base.count #426, #988 [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Fixed bug in Base#hash method that would treat records with the same string-based id as different [Dave Thomas]
-
-* Renamed DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words_to_now to DateHelper#time_ago_in_words (old method name is still available as a deprecated alias)
-
-
-*1.9.1* (27th March, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that Active Record objects with float attribute could not be cloned #808
-
-* Fixed that MissingSourceFile's wasn't properly detected in production mode #925 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed that :counter_cache option would look for a line_items_count column for a LineItem object instead of lineitems_count
-
-* Fixed that AR exists?() would explode on postgresql if the passed id did not match the PK type #900 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Fixed the MS SQL adapter to work with the new limit/offset approach and with binary data (still suffering from 7KB limit, though) #901 [delynnb]
-
-
-*1.9.0* (22th March, 2005)
-
-* Added adapter independent limit clause as a two-element array with the first being the limit, the second being the offset #795 [Sam Stephenson]. Example:
-
-    Developer.find_all nil, 'id ASC', 5      # return the first five developers
-    Developer.find_all nil, 'id ASC', [3, 8] # return three developers, starting from #8 and forward
-
-  This doesn't yet work with the DB2 or MS SQL adapters. Patches to make that happen are encouraged.
-
-* Added alias_method :to_param, :id to Base, such that Active Record objects to be used as URL parameters in Action Pack automatically #812 [Nicholas Seckar/Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Improved the performance of the OCI8 adapter for Oracle #723 [pilx/gjenkins]
-
-* Added type conversion before saving a record, so string-based values like "10.0" aren't left for the database to convert #820 [dave@cherryville.org]
-
-* Added with additional settings for working with transactional fixtures and pre-loaded test databases #865 [mindel]
-
-* Fixed acts_as_list to trigger remove_from_list on destroy after the fact, not before, so a unique position can be maintained #871 [Alisdair McDiarmid]
-
-* Added the possibility of specifying fixtures in multiple calls #816 [kim@tinker.com]
-
-* Added Base.exists?(id) that'll return true if an object of the class with the given id exists #854 [stian@grytoyr.net]
-
-* Added optionally allow for nil or empty strings with validates_numericality_of #801 [Sebastian Kanthak]
-
-* Fixed problem with using slashes in validates_format_of regular expressions #801 [Sebastian Kanthak]
-
-* Fixed that SQLite3 exceptions are caught and reported properly #823 [yerejm]
-
-* Added that all types of after_find/after_initialized callbacks are triggered if the explicit implementation is present, not only the explicit implementation itself
-
-* Fixed that symbols can be used on attribute assignment, like page.emails.create(:subject => data.subject, :body => data.body)
-
-
-*1.8.0* (7th March, 2005)
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Base.colorize_logging to control whether to use colors in logs or not (on by default)
-
-* Added support for timestamp with time zone in PostgreSQL #560 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Added MultiparameterAssignmentErrors and AttributeAssignmentError exceptions #777 [demetrius]. Documentation:
-
-   * +MultiparameterAssignmentErrors+ -- collection of errors that occurred during a mass assignment using the
-     +attributes=+ method. The +errors+ property of this exception contains an array of +AttributeAssignmentError+
-     objects that should be inspected to determine which attributes triggered the errors.
-   * +AttributeAssignmentError+ -- an error occurred while doing a mass assignment through the +attributes=+ method.
-     You can inspect the +attribute+ property of the exception object to determine which attribute triggered the error.
-
-* Fixed that postgresql adapter would fails when reading bytea fields with null value #771 [rodrigo k]
-
-* Added transactional fixtures that uses rollback to undo changes to fixtures instead of DELETE/INSERT -- it's much faster. See documentation under Fixtures #760 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added destruction of dependent objects in has_one associations when a new assignment happens #742 [mindel]. Example:
-
-    class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_one :credit_card, :dependent => true
-    end
-    class CreditCard < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :account
-    end
-
-    account.credit_card # => returns existing credit card, lets say id = 12
-    account.credit_card = CreditCard.create("number" => "123")
-    account.save # => CC with id = 12 is destroyed
-
-
-* Added validates_numericality_of #716 [Sebastian Kanthak/Chris McGrath]. Docuemntation:
-
-    Validates whether the value of the specified attribute is numeric by trying to convert it to
-    a float with Kernel.Float (if <tt>integer</tt> is false) or applying it to the regular expression
-    <tt>/^[\+\-]?\d+$/</tt> (if <tt>integer</tt> is set to true).
-
-      class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-        validates_numericality_of :value, :on => :create
-      end
-
-    Configuration options:
-    * <tt>message</tt> - A custom error message (default is: "is not a number")
-    * <tt>on</tt> Specifies when this validation is active (default is :save, other options :create, :update)
-    * <tt>only_integer</tt> Specifies whether the value has to be an integer, e.g. an integral value (default is false)
-
-
-* Fixed that HasManyAssociation#count was using :finder_sql rather than :counter_sql if it was available #445 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Added better defaults for composed_of, so statements like composed_of :time_zone, :mapping => %w( time_zone time_zone ) can be written without the mapping part (it's now assumed)
-
-* Added MacroReflection#macro which will return a symbol describing the macro used (like :composed_of or :has_many) #718, #248 [james@slashetc.com]
-
-
-*1.7.0* (24th February, 2005)
-
-* Changed the auto-timestamping feature to use ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone instead of entertaining the parallel ActiveRecord::Base.timestamps_gmt method. The latter is now deprecated and will throw a warning on use (but still work) #710 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added a OCI8-based Oracle adapter that has been verified to work with Oracle 8 and 9 #629 [Graham Jenkins]. Usage notes:
-
-    1.  Key generation uses a sequence "rails_sequence" for all tables. (I couldn't find a simple
-        and safe way of passing table-specific sequence information to the adapter.)
-    2.  Oracle uses DATE or TIMESTAMP datatypes for both dates and times. Consequently I have had to
-        resort to some hacks to get data converted to Date or Time in Ruby.
-        If the column_name ends in _at (like created_at, updated_at) it's created as a Ruby Time. Else if the
-        hours/minutes/seconds are 0, I make it a Ruby Date. Else it's a Ruby Time.
-        This is nasty - but if you use Duck Typing you'll probably not care very much.
-        In 9i it's tempting to map DATE to Date and TIMESTAMP to Time but I don't think that is
-        valid - too many databases use DATE for both.
-        Timezones and sub-second precision on timestamps are not supported.
-    3.  Default values that are functions (such as "SYSDATE") are not supported. This is a
-        restriction of the way active record supports default values.
-    4.  Referential integrity constraints are not fully supported. Under at least
-        some circumstances, active record appears to delete parent and child records out of
-        sequence and out of transaction scope. (Or this may just be a problem of test setup.)
-
-  The OCI8 driver can be retrieved from http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/
-
-* Added option :schema_order to the PostgreSQL adapter to support the use of multiple schemas per database #697 [YuriSchimke]
-
-* Optimized the SQL used to generate has_and_belongs_to_many queries by listing the join table first #693 [yerejm]
-
-* Fixed that when using validation macros with a custom message, if you happened to use single quotes in the message string you would get a parsing error #657 [tonka]
-
-* Fixed that Active Record would throw Broken Pipe errors with FCGI when the MySQL connection timed out instead of reconnecting #428 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added options to specify an SSL connection for MySQL. Define the following attributes in the connection config (config/database.yml in Rails) to use it: sslkey, sslcert, sslca, sslcapath, sslcipher. To use SSL with no client certs, just set :sslca = '/dev/null'. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/secure-connections.html #604 [daniel@nightrunner.com]
-
-* Added automatic dropping/creating of test tables for running the unit tests on all databases #587 [adelle@bullet.net.au]
-
-* Fixed that find_by_* would fail when column names had numbers #670 [demetrius]
-
-* Fixed the SQL Server adapter on a bunch of issues #667 [DeLynn]
-
-    1. Created a new columns method that is much cleaner.
-    2. Corrected a problem with the select and select_all methods
-       that didn't account for the LIMIT clause being passed into raw SQL statements.
-    3. Implemented the string_to_time method in order to create proper instances of the time class.
-    4. Added logic to the simplified_type method that allows the database to specify the scale of float data.
-    5. Adjusted the quote_column_name to account for the fact that MS SQL is bothered by a forward slash in the data string.
-
-* Fixed that the dynamic finder like find_all_by_something_boolean(false) didn't work #649 [lmarlow]
-
-* Added validates_each that validates each specified attribute against a block #610 [Jeremy Kemper]. Example:
-
-    class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-      validates_each :first_name, :last_name do |record, attr|
-        record.errors.add attr, 'starts with z.' if attr[0] == ?z
-      end
-    end
-
-* Added :allow_nil as an explicit option for validates_length_of, so unless that's set to true having the attribute as nil will also return an error if a range is specified as :within #610 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added that validates_* now accept blocks to perform validations #618 [Tim Bates]. Example:
-
-    class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-      validate { |person| person.errors.add("title", "will never be valid") if SHOULD_NEVER_BE_VALID }
-    end
-
-* Addded validation for validate all the associated objects before declaring failure with validates_associated #618 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Added keyword-style approach to defining the custom relational bindings #545 [Jamis Buck]. Example:
-
-    class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
-      primary_key "sysid"
-      table_name "XYZ_PROJECT"
-      inheritance_column { original_inheritance_column + "_id" }
-    end
-
-* Fixed Base#clone for use with PostgreSQL #565 [hanson@surgery.wisc.edu]
-
-
-*1.6.0* (January 25th, 2005)
-
-* Added that has_many association build and create methods can take arrays of record data like Base#create and Base#build to build/create multiple records at once.
-
-* Added that Base#delete and Base#destroy both can take an array of ids to delete/destroy #336
-
-* Added the option of supplying an array of attributes to Base#create, so that multiple records can be created at once.
-
-* Added the option of supplying an array of ids and attributes to Base#update, so that multiple records can be updated at once (inspired by #526/Duane Johnson). Example
-
-    people = { 1 => { "first_name" => "David" }, 2 => { "first_name" => "Jeremy"} }
-    Person.update(people.keys, people.values)
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Base.timestamps_gmt that can be set to true to make the automated timestamping use GMT instead of local time #520 [Scott Baron]
-
-* Added that update_all calls sanitize_sql on its updates argument, so stuff like MyRecord.update_all(['time = ?', Time.now]) works #519 [notahat]
-
-* Fixed that the dynamic finders didn't treat nil as a "IS NULL" but rather "= NULL" case #515 [Demetrius]
-
-* Added bind-named arrays for interpolating a group of ids or strings in conditions #528 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added that has_and_belongs_to_many associations with additional attributes also can be created between unsaved objects and only committed to the database when Base#save is called on the associator #524 [Eric Anderson]
-
-* Fixed that records fetched with piggy-back attributes or through rich has_and_belongs_to_many associations couldn't be saved due to the extra attributes not part of the table #522 [Eric Anderson]
-
-* Added mass-assignment protection for the inheritance column -- regardless of a custom column is used or not
-
-* Fixed that association proxies would fail === tests like PremiumSubscription === @account.subscription
-
-* Fixed that column aliases didn't work as expected with the new MySql411 driver #507 [Demetrius]
-
-* Fixed that find_all would produce invalid sql when called sequentialy #490 [Scott Baron]
-
-
-*1.5.1* (January 18th, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that the belongs_to and has_one proxy would fail a test like 'if project.manager' -- this unfortunately also means that you can't call methods like project.manager.build unless there already is a manager on the project #492 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Fixed that the Ruby/MySQL adapter wouldn't connect if the password was empty #503 [Pelle]
-
-
-*1.5.0* (January 17th, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that unit tests for MySQL are now run as the "rails" user instead of root #455 [Eric Hodel]
-
-* Added validates_associated that enables validation of objects in an unsaved association #398 [Tim Bates]. Example:
-
-    class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :pages
-      belongs_to :library
-
-      validates_associated :pages, :library
-    end
-
-* Added support for associating unsaved objects #402 [Tim Bates]. Rules that govern this addition:
-
-    == Unsaved objects and associations
-
-    You can manipulate objects and associations before they are saved to the database, but there is some special behaviour you should be
-    aware of, mostly involving the saving of associated objects.
-
-    === One-to-one associations
-
-    * Assigning an object to a has_one association automatically saves that object, and the object being replaced (if there is one), in
-      order to update their primary keys - except if the parent object is unsaved (new_record? == true).
-    * If either of these saves fail (due to one of the objects being invalid) the assignment statement returns false and the assignment
-      is cancelled.
-    * If you wish to assign an object to a has_one association without saving it, use the #association.build method (documented below).
-    * Assigning an object to a belongs_to association does not save the object, since the foreign key field belongs on the parent. It does
-      not save the parent either.
-
-    === Collections
-
-    * Adding an object to a collection (has_many or has_and_belongs_to_many) automatically saves that object, except if the parent object
-      (the owner of the collection) is not yet stored in the database.
-    * If saving any of the objects being added to a collection (via #push or similar) fails, then #push returns false.
-    * You can add an object to a collection without automatically saving it by using the #collection.build method (documented below).
-    * All unsaved (new_record? == true) members of the collection are automatically saved when the parent is saved.
-
-* Added replace to associations, so you can do project.manager.replace(new_manager) or project.milestones.replace(new_milestones) #402 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Added build and create methods to has_one and belongs_to associations, so you can now do project.manager.build(attributes) #402 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Added that if a before_* callback returns false, all the later callbacks and the associated action are cancelled. If an after_* callback returns false, all the later callbacks are cancelled. Callbacks are generally run in the order they are defined, with the exception of callbacks defined as methods on the model, which are called last. #402 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Fixed that Base#== wouldn't work for multiple references to the same unsaved object #402 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Fixed binary support for PostgreSQL #444 [alex@byzantine.no]
-
-* Added a differenciation between AssociationCollection#size and -length. Now AssociationCollection#size returns the size of the
-  collection by executing a SELECT COUNT(*) query if the collection hasn't been loaded and calling collection.size if it has. If
-  it's more likely than not that the collection does have a size larger than zero and you need to fetch that collection afterwards,
-  it'll take one less SELECT query if you use length.
-
-* Added Base#attributes that returns a hash of all the attributes with their names as keys and clones of their objects as values #433 [atyp.de]
-
-* Fixed that foreign keys named the same as the association would cause stack overflow #437 [Eric Anderson]
-
-* Fixed default scope of acts_as_list from "1" to "1 = 1", so it'll work in PostgreSQL (among other places) #427 [Alexey]
-
-* Added Base#reload that reloads the attributes of an object from the database #422 [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Added SQLite3 compatibility through the sqlite3-ruby adapter by Jamis Buck #381 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added support for the new protocol spoken by MySQL 4.1.1+ servers for the Ruby/MySQL adapter that ships with Rails #440 [Matt Mower]
-
-* Added that Observers can use the observes class method instead of overwriting self.observed_class().
-
-    Before:
-      class ListSweeper < ActiveRecord::Base
-        def self.observed_class() [ List, Item ]
-      end
-
-    After:
-      class ListSweeper < ActiveRecord::Base
-        observes List, Item
-      end
-
-* Fixed that conditions in has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many should be interpolated just like the finder_sql is
-
-* Fixed Base#update_attribute to be indifferent to whether a string or symbol is used to describe the name
-
-* Added Base#toggle(attribute) and Base#toggle!(attribute) that makes it easier to flip a switch or flag.
-
-    Before: topic.update_attribute(:approved, !approved?)
-    After : topic.toggle!(:approved)
-
-* Added Base#increment!(attribute) and Base#decrement!(attribute) that also saves the records. Example:
-
-    page.views # => 1
-    page.increment!(:views) # executes an UPDATE statement
-    page.views # => 2
-
-    page.increment(:views).increment!(:views)
-    page.views # => 4
-
-* Added Base#increment(attribute) and Base#decrement(attribute) that encapsulates the += 1 and -= 1 patterns.
-
-
-*1.4.0* (January 4th, 2005)
-
-* Added automated optimistic locking if the field <tt>lock_version</tt> is present.  Each update to the
-  record increments the lock_version column and the locking facilities ensure that records instantiated twice
-  will let the last one saved raise a StaleObjectError if the first was also updated. Example:
-
-    p1 = Person.find(1)
-    p2 = Person.find(1)
-
-    p1.first_name = "Michael"
-    p1.save
-
-    p2.first_name = "should fail"
-    p2.save # Raises a ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError
-
-  You're then responsible for dealing with the conflict by rescuing the exception and either rolling back, merging,
-  or otherwise apply the business logic needed to resolve the conflict.
-
-  #384 [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Added dynamic attribute-based finders as a cleaner way of getting objects by simple queries without turning to SQL.
-  They work by appending the name of an attribute to <tt>find_by_</tt>, so you get finders like <tt>Person.find_by_user_name,
-  Payment.find_by_transaction_id</tt>. So instead of writing <tt>Person.find_first(["user_name = ?", user_name])</tt>, you just do
-  <tt>Person.find_by_user_name(user_name)</tt>.
-
-  It's also possible to use multiple attributes in the same find by separating them with "_and_", so you get finders like
-  <tt>Person.find_by_user_name_and_password</tt> or even <tt>Payment.find_by_purchaser_and_state_and_country</tt>. So instead of writing
-  <tt>Person.find_first(["user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password])</tt>, you just do
-  <tt>Person.find_by_user_name_and_password(user_name, password)</tt>.
-
-  While primarily a construct for easier find_firsts, it can also be used as a construct for find_all by using calls like
-  <tt>Payment.find_all_by_amount(50)</tt> that is turned into <tt>Payment.find_all(["amount = ?", 50])</tt>. This is something not as equally useful,
-  though, as it's not possible to specify the order in which the objects are returned.
-
-* Added block-style for callbacks #332 [Jeremy Kemper].
-
-    Before:
-      before_destroy(Proc.new{ |record| Person.destroy_all "firm_id = #{record.id}" })
-
-    After:
-      before_destroy { |record| Person.destroy_all "firm_id = #{record.id}" }
-
-* Added :counter_cache option to acts_as_tree that works just like the one you can define on belongs_to #371 [Josh Peek]
-
-* Added Base.default_timezone accessor that determines whether to use Time.local (using :local) or Time.utc (using :utc) when pulling dates
-  and times from the database. This is set to :local by default.
-
-* Added the possibility for adapters to overwrite add_limit! to implement a different limiting scheme than "LIMIT X" used by MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
-
-* Added the possibility of having objects with acts_as_list created before their scope is available or...
-
-* Added a db2 adapter that only depends on the Ruby/DB2 bindings (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-db2/) #386 [Maik Schmidt]
-
-* Added the final touches to the Microsoft SQL Server adapter by Joey Gibson that makes it suitable for actual use #394 [DeLynn Barry]
-
-* Added that Base#find takes an optional options hash, including :conditions. Base#find_on_conditions deprecated in favor of #find with :conditions #407 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added HasManyAssociation#count that works like Base#count #413 [intinig]
-
-* Fixed handling of binary content in blobs and similar fields for Ruby/MySQL and SQLite #409 [xal]
-
-* Fixed a bug in the Ruby/MySQL that caused binary content to be escaped badly and come back mangled #405 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Fixed that the const_missing autoload assumes the requested constant is set by require_association and calls const_get to retrieve it.
-  If require_association did not set the constant then const_get will call const_missing, resulting in an infinite loop #380 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed broken transactions that were actually only running object-level and not db level transactions [andreas]
-
-* Fixed that validates_uniqueness_of used 'id' instead of defined primary key #406
-
-* Fixed that the overwritten respond_to? method didn't take two parameters like the original #391
-
-* Fixed quoting in validates_format_of that would allow some rules to pass regardless of input #390 [Dmitry V. Sabanin]
-
-
-*1.3.0* (December 23, 2004)
-
-* Added a require_association hook on const_missing that makes it possible to use any model class without requiring it first. This makes STI look like:
-
-    before:
-      require_association 'person'
-      class Employee < Person
-      end
-
-    after:
-      class Employee < Person
-      end
-
-  This also reduces the usefulness of Controller.model in Action Pack to currently only being for documentation purposes.
-
-* Added that Base.update_all and Base.delete_all return an integer of the number of affected rows #341
-
-* Added scope option to validation_uniqueness #349 [Kent Sibilev]
-
-* Added respondence to *_before_type_cast for all attributes to return their string-state before they were type casted by the column type.
-  This is helpful for getting "100,000" back on a integer-based validation where the value would normally be "100".
-
-* Added allow_nil options to validates_inclusion_of so that validation is only triggered if the attribute is not nil [what-a-day]
-
-* Added work-around for PostgreSQL and the problem of getting fixtures to be created from id 1 on each test case.
-  This only works for auto-incrementing primary keys called "id" for now #359 [Scott Baron]
-
-* Added Base#clear_association_cache to empty all the cached associations #347 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added more informative exceptions in establish_connection #356 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added Base#update_attributes that'll accept a hash of attributes and save the record (returning true if it passed validation, false otherwise).
-
-    Before:
-      person.attributes = @params["person"]
-      person.save
-
-    Now:
-      person.update_attributes(@params["person"])
-
-* Added Base.destroy and Base.delete to remove records without holding a reference to them first.
-
-* Added that query benchmarking will only happen if its going to be logged anyway #344
-
-* Added higher_item and lower_item as public methods for acts_as_list #342 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Fixed that options[:counter_sql] was overwritten with interpolated sql rather than original sql #355 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed that overriding an attribute's accessor would be disregarded by add_on_empty and add_on_boundary_breaking because they simply used
-  the attributes[] hash instead of checking for @base.respond_to?(attr.to_s). [Marten]
-
-* Fixed that Base.table_name would expect a parameter when used in has_and_belongs_to_many joins [Anna Lissa Cruz]
-
-* Fixed that nested transactions now work by letting the outer most transaction have the responsibilty of starting and rolling back the transaction.
-  If any of the inner transactions swallow the exception raised, though, the transaction will not be rolled back. So always let the transaction
-  bubble up even when you've dealt with local issues. Closes #231 and #340.
-
-* Fixed validates_{confirmation,acceptance}_of to only happen when the virtual attributes are not nil #348 [dpiddy@gmail.com]
-
-* Changed the interface on AbstractAdapter to require that adapters return the number of affected rows on delete and update operations.
-
-* Fixed the automated timestamping feature when running under Rails' development environment that resets the inheritable attributes on each request.
-
-
-
-*1.2.0*
-
-* Added Base.validates_inclusion_of that validates whether the value of the specified attribute is available in a particular enumerable
-  object. [what-a-day]
-
-    class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-      validates_inclusion_of :gender, :in=>%w( m f ), :message=>"woah! what are you then!??!!"
-      validates_inclusion_of :age, :in=>0..99
-    end
-
-* Added acts_as_list that can decorates an existing class with methods like move_higher/lower, move_to_top/bottom. [Tobias Lütke] Example:
-
-    class TodoItem < ActiveRecord::Base
-      acts_as_list :scope => :todo_list_id
-      belongs_to :todo_list
-    end
-
-* Added acts_as_tree that can decorates an existing class with a many to many relationship with itself. Perfect for categories in
-  categories and the likes. [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added that Active Records will automatically record creation and/or update timestamps of database objects if fields of the names
-  created_at/created_on or updated_at/updated_on are present. [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added Base.default_error_messages as a hash of all the error messages used in the validates_*_of so they can be changed in one place [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added automatic transaction block around AssociationCollection.<<, AssociationCollection.delete, and AssociationCollection.destroy_all
-
-* Fixed that Base#find will return an array if given an array -- regardless of the number of elements #270 [Marten]
-
-* Fixed that has_and_belongs_to_many would generate bad sql when naming conventions differed from using vanilla "id" everywhere [RedTerror]
-
-* Added a better exception for when a type column is used in a table without the intention of triggering single-table inheritance. Example:
-
-    ActiveRecord::SubclassNotFound: The single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass: 'bad_class!'.
-    This error is raised because the column 'type' is reserved for storing the class in case of inheritance.
-    Please rename this column if you didn't intend it to be used for storing the inheritance class or
-    overwrite Company.inheritance_column to use another column for that information.
-
-* Added that single-table inheritance will only kick in if the inheritance_column (by default "type") is present. Otherwise, inheritance won't
-  have any magic side effects.
-
-* Added the possibility of marking fields as being in error without adding a message (using nil) to it that'll get displayed wth full_messages #208 [mjobin]
-
-* Fixed Base.errors to be indifferent as to whether strings or symbols are used. Examples:
-
-    Before:
-      errors.add(:name, "must be shorter") if name.size > 10
-      errors.on(:name)  # => "must be shorter"
-      errors.on("name") # => nil
-
-    After:
-      errors.add(:name, "must be shorter") if name.size > 10
-      errors.on(:name)  # => "must be shorter"
-      errors.on("name") # => "must be shorter"
-
-* Added Base.validates_format_of that Validates whether the value of the specified attribute is of the correct form by matching
-  it against the regular expression provided. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-    class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-      validates_format_of :email, :with => /^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/, :on => :create
-    end
-
-* Added Base.validates_length_of that delegates to add_on_boundary_breaking #312 [Tobias Lütke]. Example:
-
-    Validates that the specified attribute matches the length restrictions supplied in either:
-
-      - configuration[:minimum]
-      - configuration[:maximum]
-      - configuration[:is]
-      - configuration[:within] (aka. configuration[:in])
-
-    Only one option can be used at a time.
-
-      class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-        validates_length_of :first_name, :maximum=>30
-        validates_length_of :last_name, :maximum=>30, :message=>"less than %d if you don't mind"
-        validates_length_of :user_name, :within => 6..20, :too_long => "pick a shorter name", :too_short => "pick a longer name"
-        validates_length_of :fav_bra_size, :minimum=>1, :too_short=>"please enter at least %d character"
-        validates_length_of :smurf_leader, :is=>4, :message=>"papa is spelled with %d characters... don't play me."
-      end
-
-* Added Base.validate_presence as an alternative to implementing validate and doing errors.add_on_empty yourself.
-
-* Added Base.validates_uniqueness_of that alidates whether the value of the specified attributes are unique across the system.
-  Useful for making sure that only one user can be named "davidhh".
-
-    class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-      validates_uniqueness_of :user_name
-    end
-
-  When the record is created, a check is performed to make sure that no record exist in the database with the given value for the specified
-  attribute (that maps to a column). When the record is updated, the same check is made but disregarding the record itself.
-
-
-* Added Base.validates_confirmation_of that encapsulates the pattern of wanting to validate a password or email address field with a confirmation. Example:
-
-     Model:
-       class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-         validates_confirmation_of :password
-       end
-
-     View:
-       <%= password_field "person", "password" %>
-       <%= password_field "person", "password_confirmation" %>
-
-   The person has to already have a password attribute (a column in the people table), but the password_confirmation is virtual.
-   It exists only as an in-memory variable for validating the password. This check is performed both on create and update.
-
-
-* Added Base.validates_acceptance_of that encapsulates the pattern of wanting to validate the acceptance of a terms of service check box (or similar agreement). Example:
-
-   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-     validates_acceptance_of :terms_of_service
-   end
-
-  The terms_of_service attribute is entirely virtual. No database column is needed. This check is performed both on create and update.
-
-  NOTE: The agreement is considered valid if it's set to the string "1". This makes it easy to relate it to an HTML checkbox.
-
-
-* Added validation macros to make the stackable just like the life cycle callbacks. Examples:
-
-    class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-      validate { |record| record.errors.add("name", "too short") unless name.size > 10 }
-      validate { |record| record.errors.add("name", "too long")  unless name.size < 20 }
-      validate_on_create :validate_password
-
-      private
-        def validate_password
-          errors.add("password", "too short") unless password.size > 6
-        end
-    end
-
-* Added the option for sanitizing find_by_sql and the offset parts in regular finds [Sam Stephenson]. Examples:
-
-    Project.find_all ["category = ?", category_name], "created ASC", ["? OFFSET ?", 15, 20]
-    Post.find_by_sql ["SELECT * FROM posts WHERE author = ? AND created > ?", author_id, start_date]
-
-* Fixed value quoting in all generated SQL statements, so that integers are not surrounded in quotes and that all sanitation are happening
-  through the database's own quoting routine. This should hopefully make it lots easier for new adapters that doesn't accept '1' for integer
-  columns.
-
-* Fixed has_and_belongs_to_many guessing of foreign key so that keys are generated correctly for models like SomeVerySpecialClient
-  [Florian Weber]
-
-* Added counter_sql option for has_many associations [Jeremy Kemper]. Documentation:
-
-    <tt>:counter_sql</tt> - specify a complete SQL statement to fetch the size of the association. If +:finder_sql+ is
-    specified but +:counter_sql+, +:counter_sql+ will be generated by replacing SELECT ... FROM with SELECT COUNT(*) FROM.
-
-* Fixed that methods wrapped in callbacks still return their original result #260 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed the Inflector to handle the movie/movies pair correctly #261 [Scott Baron]
-
-* Added named bind-style variable interpolation #281 [Michael Koziarski]. Example:
-
-    Person.find(["id = :id and first_name = :first_name", { :id => 5, :first_name = "bob' or 1=1" }])
-
-* Added bind-style variable interpolation for the condition arrays that uses the adapter's quote method [Michael Koziarski]
-
-  Before:
-    find_first([ "user_name = '%s' AND password = '%s'", user_name, password ])]
-    find_first([ "firm_id = %s", firm_id ])] # unsafe!
-
-  After:
-    find_first([ "user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password ])]
-    find_first([ "firm_id = ?", firm_id ])]
-
-* Added CSV format for fixtures #272 [what-a-day]. (See the new and expanded documentation on fixtures for more information)
-
-* Fixed fixtures using primary key fields called something else than "id" [dave]
-
-* Added proper handling of time fields that are turned into Time objects with the dummy date of 2000/1/1 [HariSeldon]
-
-* Added reverse order of deleting fixtures, so referential keys can be maintained #247 [Tim Bates]
-
-* Added relative path search for sqlite dbfiles in database.yml (if RAILS_ROOT is defined) #233 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added option to establish_connection where you'll be able to leave out the parameter to have it use the RAILS_ENV environment variable
-
-* Fixed problems with primary keys and postgresql sequences (#230) [Tim Bates]
-
-* Added reloading for associations under cached environments like FastCGI and mod_ruby. This makes it possible to use those environments for development.
-  This is turned on by default, but can be turned off with ActiveRecord::Base.reload_dependencies = false in production environments.
-
-  NOTE: This will only have an effect if you let the associations manage the requiring of model classes. All libraries loaded through
-  require will be "forever" cached. You can, however, use ActiveRecord::Base.load_or_require("library") to get this behavior outside of the
-  auto-loading associations.
-
-* Added ERB capabilities to the fixture files for dynamic fixture generation. You don't need to do anything, just include ERB blocks like:
-
-    david:
-      id: 1
-      name: David
-
-    jamis:
-      id: 2
-      name: Jamis
-
-    <% for digit in 3..10 %>
-    dev_<%= digit %>:
-      id: <%= digit %>
-      name: fixture_<%= digit %>
-    <% end %>
-
-* Changed the yaml fixture searcher to look in the root of the fixtures directory, so when you before could have something like:
-
-    fixtures/developers/fixtures.yaml
-    fixtures/accounts/fixtures.yaml
-
-  ...you now need to do:
-
-    fixtures/developers.yaml
-    fixtures/accounts.yaml
-
-* Changed the fixture format from:
-
-    name: david
-    data:
-     id: 1
-     name: David Heinemeier Hansson
-     birthday: 1979-10-15
-     profession: Systems development
-    ---
-    name: steve
-    data:
-     id: 2
-     name: Steve Ross Kellock
-     birthday: 1974-09-27
-     profession: guy with keyboard
-
-  ...to:
-
-    david:
-     id: 1
-     name: David Heinemeier Hansson
-     birthday: 1979-10-15
-     profession: Systems development
-
-    steve:
-     id: 2
-     name: Steve Ross Kellock
-     birthday: 1974-09-27
-     profession: guy with keyboard
-
-  The change is NOT backwards compatible. Fixtures written in the old YAML style needs to be rewritten!
-
-* All associations will now attempt to require the classes that they associate to. Relieving the need for most explicit 'require' statements.
-
-
-*1.1.0* (34)
-
-* Added automatic fixture setup and instance variable availability. Fixtures can also be automatically
-  instantiated in instance variables relating to their names using the following style:
-
-    class FixturesTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
-      fixtures :developers # you can add more with comma separation
-
-      def test_developers
-        assert_equal 3, @developers.size # the container for all the fixtures is automatically set
-        assert_kind_of Developer, @david # works like @developers["david"].find
-        assert_equal "David Heinemeier Hansson", @david.name
-      end
-    end
-
-* Added HasAndBelongsToManyAssociation#push_with_attributes(object, join_attributes) that can create associations in the join table with additional
-  attributes. This is really useful when you have information that's only relevant to the join itself, such as a "added_on" column for an association
-  between post and category. The added attributes will automatically be injected into objects retrieved through the association similar to the piggy-back
-  approach:
-
-    post.categories.push_with_attributes(category, :added_on => Date.today)
-    post.categories.first.added_on # => Date.today
-
-  NOTE: The categories table doesn't have a added_on column, it's the categories_post join table that does!
-
-* Fixed that :exclusively_dependent and :dependent can't be activated at the same time on has_many associations [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed that database passwords couldn't be all numeric [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed that calling id would create the instance variable for new_records preventing them from being saved correctly [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added sanitization feature to HasManyAssociation#find_all so it works just like Base.find_all [Sam Stephenson/Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added that you can pass overlapping ids to find without getting duplicated records back [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added that Base.benchmark returns the result of the block [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed problem with unit tests on Windows with SQLite [paterno]
-
-* Fixed that quotes would break regular non-yaml fixtures [Dmitry Sabanin/daft]
-
-* Fixed fixtures on windows with line endings cause problems under unix / mac [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added HasAndBelongsToManyAssociation#find(id) that'll search inside the collection and find the object or record with that id
-
-* Added :conditions option to has_and_belongs_to_many that works just like the one on all the other associations
-
-* Added AssociationCollection#clear to remove all associations from has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many associations without destroying the records [geech]
-
-* Added type-checking and remove in 1-instead-of-N sql statements to AssociationCollection#delete [geech]
-
-* Added a return of self to AssociationCollection#<< so appending can be chained, like project << Milestone.create << Milestone.create [geech]
-
-* Added Base#hash and Base#eql? which means that all of the equality using features of array and other containers now works:
-
-    [ Person.find(1), Person.find(2), Person.find(3) ] & [ Person.find(1), Person.find(4) ] # => [ Person.find(1) ]
-
-* Added :uniq as an option to has_and_belongs_to_many which will automatically ensure that AssociateCollection#uniq is called
-  before pulling records out of the association. This is especially useful for three-way (and above) has_and_belongs_to_many associations.
-
-* Added AssociateCollection#uniq which is especially useful for has_and_belongs_to_many associations that can include duplicates,
-  which is common on associations that also use metadata. Usage: post.categories.uniq
-
-* Fixed respond_to? to use a subclass specific hash instead of an Active Record-wide one
-
-* Fixed has_and_belongs_to_many to treat associations between classes in modules properly [Florian Weber]
-
-* Added a NoMethod exception to be raised when query and writer methods are called for attributes that doesn't exist [geech]
-
-* Added a more robust version of Fixtures that throws meaningful errors when on formatting issues [geech]
-
-* Added Base#transaction as a compliment to Base.transaction for prettier use in instance methods [geech]
-
-* Improved the speed of respond_to? by placing the dynamic methods lookup table in a hash [geech]
-
-* Added that any additional fields added to the join table in a has_and_belongs_to_many association
-  will be placed as attributes when pulling records out through has_and_belongs_to_many associations.
-  This is helpful when have information about the association itself that you want available on retrival.
-
-* Added better loading exception catching and RubyGems retries to the database adapters [alexeyv]
-
-* Fixed bug with per-model transactions [daniel]
-
-* Fixed Base#transaction so that it returns the result of the last expression in the transaction block [alexeyv]
-
-* Added Fixture#find to find the record corresponding to the fixture id. The record
-  class name is guessed by using Inflector#classify (also new) on the fixture directory name.
-
-    Before: Document.find(@documents["first"]["id"])
-    After : @documents["first"].find
-
-* Fixed that the table name part of column names ("TABLE.COLUMN") wasn't removed properly [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Fixed a bug with Base#size when a finder_sql was used that didn't capitalize SELECT and FROM [geech]
-
-* Fixed quoting problems on SQLite by adding quote_string to the AbstractAdapter that can be overwritten by the concrete
-  adapters for a call to the dbm. [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Removed RubyGems backup strategy for requiring SQLite-adapter -- if people want to use gems, they're already doing it with AR.
-
-
-*1.0.0 (35)*
-
-* Added OO-style associations methods [Florian Weber]. Examples:
-
-    Project#milestones_count       => Project#milestones.size
-    Project#build_to_milestones    => Project#milestones.build
-    Project#create_for_milestones  => Project#milestones.create
-    Project#find_in_milestones     => Project#milestones.find
-    Project#find_all_in_milestones => Project#milestones.find_all
-
-* Added serialize as a new class method to control when text attributes should be YAMLized or not. This means that automated
-  serialization of hashes, arrays, and so on WILL NO LONGER HAPPEN (#10). You need to do something like this:
-
-    class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-      serialize :settings
-    end
-
-  This will assume that settings is a text column and will now YAMLize any object put in that attribute. You can also specify
-  an optional :class_name option that'll raise an exception if a serialized object is retrieved as a descendant of a class not in
-  the hierarchy. Example:
-
-    class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-      serialize :settings, :class_name => "Hash"
-    end
-
-    user = User.create("settings" => %w( one two three ))
-    User.find(user.id).settings # => raises SerializationTypeMismatch
-
-* Added the option to connect to a different database for one model at a time. Just call establish_connection on the class
-  you want to have connected to another database than Base. This will automatically also connect decendents of that class
-  to the different database [Renald Buter].
-
-* Added transactional protection for Base#save. Validations can now check for values knowing that it happens in a transaction and callbacks
-  can raise exceptions knowing that the save will be rolled back. [Suggested by Alexey Verkhovsky]
-
-* Added column name quoting so reserved words, such as "references", can be used as column names [Ryan Platte]
-
-* Added the possibility to chain the return of what happened inside a logged block [geech]:
-
-    This now works:
-      log { ... }.map { ... }
-
-    Instead of doing:
-      result = []
-      log { result = ... }
-      result.map { ... }
-
-* Added "socket" option for the MySQL adapter, so you can change it to something else than "/tmp/mysql.sock" [Anna Lissa Cruz]
-
-* Added respond_to? answers for all the attribute methods. So if Person has a name attribute retrieved from the table schema,
-  person.respond_to? "name" will return true.
-
-* Added Base.benchmark which can be used to aggregate logging and benchmark, so you can measure and represent multiple statements in a single block.
-  Usage (hides all the SQL calls for the individual actions and calculates total runtime for them all):
-
-    Project.benchmark("Creating project") do
-      project = Project.create("name" => "stuff")
-      project.create_manager("name" => "David")
-      project.milestones << Milestone.find_all
-    end
-
-* Added logging of invalid SQL statements [Daniel Von Fange]
-
-* Added alias Errors#[] for Errors#on, so you can now say person.errors["name"] to retrieve the errors for name [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Added RubyGems require attempt if sqlite-ruby is not available through regular methods.
-
-* Added compatibility with 2.x series of sqlite-ruby drivers. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added type safety for association assignments, so a ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch will be raised if you attempt to
-  assign an object that's not of the associated class. This cures the problem with nil giving id = 4 and fixnums giving id = 1 on
-  mistaken association assignments. [Reported by Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Added the option to keep many fixtures in one single YAML document [what-a-day]
-
-* Added the class method "inheritance_column" that can be overwritten to return the name of an alternative column than "type" for storing
-  the type for inheritance hierarchies. [Dave Steinberg]
-
-* Added [] and []= as an alternative way to access attributes when the regular methods have been overwritten [Dave Steinberg]
-
-* Added the option to observer more than one class at the time by specifying observed_class as an array
-
-* Added auto-id propagation support for tables with arbitrary primary keys that have autogenerated sequences associated with them
-  on PostgreSQL. [Dave Steinberg]
-
-* Changed that integer and floats set to "" through attributes= remain as NULL. This was especially a problem for scaffolding and postgresql. (#49)
-
-* Changed the MySQL Adapter to rely on MySQL for its defaults for socket, host, and port [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Changed ActionControllerError to decent from StandardError instead of Exception. It can now be caught by a generic rescue.
-
-* Changed class inheritable attributes to not use eval [Caio Chassot]
-
-* Changed Errors#add to now use "invalid" as the default message instead of true, which means full_messages work with those [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed spelling on Base#add_on_boundry_breaking to Base#add_on_boundary_breaking (old naming still works) [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed that entries in the has_and_belongs_to_many join table didn't get removed when an associated object was destroyed.
-
-* Fixed unnecessary calls to SET AUTOCOMMIT=0/1 for MySQL adapter [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Fixed PostgreSQL defaults are now handled gracefully [Dave Steinberg]
-
-* Fixed increment/decrement_counter are now atomic updates [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Fixed the problems the Inflector had turning Attachment into attuchments and Cases into Casis [radsaq/Florian Gross]
-
-* Fixed that cloned records would point attribute references on the parent object [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Fixed SQL for type call on inheritance hierarchies [Caio Chassot]
-
-* Fixed bug with typed inheritance [Florian Weber]
-
-* Fixed a bug where has_many collection_count wouldn't use the conditions specified for that association
-
-
-*0.9.5*
-
-* Expanded the table_name guessing rules immensely [Florian Green]. Documentation:
-
-    Guesses the table name (in forced lower-case) based on the name of the class in the inheritance hierarchy descending
-    directly from ActiveRecord. So if the hierarchy looks like: Reply < Message < ActiveRecord, then Message is used
-    to guess the table name from even when called on Reply. The guessing rules are as follows:
-    * Class name ends in "x", "ch" or "ss": "es" is appended, so a Search class becomes a searches table.
-    * Class name ends in "y" preceded by a consonant or "qu": The "y" is replaced with "ies",
-      so a Category class becomes a categories table.
-    * Class name ends in "fe": The "fe" is replaced with "ves", so a Wife class becomes a wives table.
-    * Class name ends in "lf" or "rf": The "f" is replaced with "ves", so a Half class becomes a halves table.
-    * Class name ends in "person": The "person" is replaced with "people", so a Salesperson class becomes a salespeople table.
-    * Class name ends in "man": The "man" is replaced with "men", so a Spokesman class becomes a spokesmen table.
-    * Class name ends in "sis": The "i" is replaced with an "e", so a Basis class becomes a bases table.
-    * Class name ends in "tum" or "ium": The "um" is replaced with an "a", so a Datum class becomes a data table.
-    * Class name ends in "child": The "child" is replaced with "children", so a NodeChild class becomes a node_children table.
-    * Class name ends in an "s": No additional characters are added or removed.
-    * Class name doesn't end in "s": An "s" is appended, so a Comment class becomes a comments table.
-    * Class name with word compositions: Compositions are underscored, so CreditCard class becomes a credit_cards table.
-    Additionally, the class-level table_name_prefix is prepended to the table_name and the table_name_suffix is appended.
-    So if you have "myapp_" as a prefix, the table name guess for an Account class becomes "myapp_accounts".
-
-    You can also overwrite this class method to allow for unguessable links, such as a Mouse class with a link to a
-    "mice" table. Example:
-
-      class Mouse < ActiveRecord::Base
-         def self.table_name() "mice" end
-      end
-
-  This conversion is now done through an external class called Inflector residing in lib/active_record/support/inflector.rb.
-
-* Added find_all_in_collection to has_many defined collections. Works like this:
-
-    class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :clients
-    end
-
-    firm.id # => 1
-    firm.find_all_in_clients "revenue > 1000" # SELECT * FROM clients WHERE firm_id = 1 AND revenue > 1000
-
-  [Requested by Dave Thomas]
-
-* Fixed finders for inheritance hierarchies deeper than one level [Florian Weber]
-
-* Added add_on_boundry_breaking to errors to accompany add_on_empty as a default validation method. It's used like this:
-
-    class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-      protected
-        def validation
-          errors.add_on_boundry_breaking "password", 3..20
-        end
-    end
-
-  This will add an error to the tune of "is too short (minimum is 3 characters)" or "is too long (minimum is 20 characters)" if
-  the password is outside the boundry. The messages can be changed by passing a third and forth parameter as message strings.
-
-* Implemented a clone method that works properly with AR. It returns a clone of the record that
-  hasn't been assigned an id yet and is treated as a new record.
-
-* Allow for domain sockets in PostgreSQL by not assuming localhost when no host is specified [Scott Barron]
-
-* Fixed that bignums are saved properly instead of attempted to be YAMLized [Andreas Schwartz]
-
-* Fixed a bug in the GEM where the rdoc options weren't being passed according to spec [Chad Fowler]
-
-* Fixed a bug with the exclusively_dependent option for has_many
-
-
-*0.9.4*
-
-* Correctly guesses the primary key when the class is inside a module [Dave Steinberg].
-
-* Added [] and []= as alternatives to read_attribute and write_attribute [Dave Steinberg]
-
-* has_and_belongs_to_many now accepts an :order key to determine in which order the collection is returned [radsaq].
-
-* The ids passed to find and find_on_conditions are now automatically sanitized.
-
-* Added escaping of plings in YAML content.
-
-* Multi-parameter assigns where all the parameters are empty will now be set to nil instead of a new instance of their class.
-
-* Proper type within an inheritance hierarchy is now ensured already at object initialization (instead of first at create)
-
-
-*0.9.3*
-
-* Fixed bug with using a different primary key name together with has_and_belongs_to_many [Investigation by Scott]
-
-* Added :exclusively_dependent option to the has_many association macro. The doc reads:
-
-    If set to true all the associated object are deleted in one SQL statement without having their
-    before_destroy callback run. This should only be used on associations that depend solely on
-    this class and don't need to do any clean-up in before_destroy. The upside is that it's much
-    faster, especially if there's a counter_cache involved.
-
-* Added :port key to connection options, so the PostgreSQL and MySQL adapters can connect to a database server
-  running on another port than the default.
-
-* Converted the new natural singleton methods that prevented AR objects from being saved by PStore
-  (and hence be placed in a Rails session) to a module. [Florian Weber]
-
-* Fixed the use of floats (was broken since 0.9.0+)
-
-* Fixed PostgreSQL adapter so default values are displayed properly when used in conjunction with
-  Action Pack scaffolding.
-
-* Fixed booleans support for PostgreSQL (use real true/false on boolean fields instead of 0/1 on tinyints) [radsaq]
-
-
-*0.9.2*
-
-* Added static method for instantly updating a record
-
-* Treat decimal and numeric as Ruby floats [Andreas Schwartz]
-
-* Treat chars as Ruby strings (fixes problem for Action Pack form helpers too)
-
-* Removed debugging output accidently left in (which would screw web applications)
-
-
-*0.9.1*
-
-* Added MIT license
-
-* Added natural object-style assignment for has_and_belongs_to_many associations. Consider the following model:
-
-    class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_one_and_belongs_to_many :sponsors
-    end
-
-    class Sponsor < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_one_and_belongs_to_many :sponsors
-    end
-
-  Earlier, you'd have to use synthetic methods for creating associations between two objects of the above class:
-
-    roskilde_festival.add_to_sponsors(carlsberg)
-    roskilde_festival.remove_from_sponsors(carlsberg)
-
-    nike.add_to_events(world_cup)
-    nike.remove_from_events(world_cup)
-
-  Now you can use regular array-styled methods:
-
-    roskilde_festival.sponsors << carlsberg
-    roskilde_festival.sponsors.delete(carlsberg)
-
-    nike.events << world_cup
-    nike.events.delete(world_cup)
-
-* Added delete method for has_many associations. Using this will nullify an association between the has_many and the belonging
-  object by setting the foreign key to null. Consider this model:
-
-    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :comments
-    end
-
-    class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :post
-    end
-
-  You could do something like:
-
-    funny_comment.has_post? # => true
-    announcement.comments.delete(funny_comment)
-    funny_comment.has_post? # => false
-
-
-*0.9.0*
-
-* Active Record is now thread safe! (So you can use it with Cerise and WEBrick applications)
-  [Implementation idea by Michael Neumann, debugging assistance by Jamis Buck]
-
-* Improved performance by roughly 400% on a basic test case of pulling 100 records and querying one attribute.
-  This brings the tax for using Active Record instead of "riding on the metal" (using MySQL-ruby C-driver directly) down to ~50%.
-  Done by doing lazy type conversions and caching column information on the class-level.
-
-* Added callback objects and procs as options for implementing the target for callback macros.
-
-* Added "counter_cache" option to belongs_to that automates the usage of increment_counter and decrement_counter. Consider:
-
-    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :comments
-    end
-
-    class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :post
-    end
-
-  Iterating over 100 posts like this:
-
-    <% for post in @posts %>
-      <%= post.title %> has <%= post.comments_count %> comments
-    <% end %>
-
-  Will generate 100 SQL count queries -- one for each call to post.comments_count. If you instead add a "comments_count" int column
-  to the posts table and rewrite the comments association macro with:
-
-    class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :post, :counter_cache => true
-    end
-
-  Those 100 SQL count queries will be reduced to zero. Beware that counter caching is only appropriate for objects that begin life
-  with the object it's specified to belong with and is destroyed like that as well. Typically objects where you would also specify
-  :dependent => true. If your objects switch from one belonging to another (like a post that can be move from one category to another),
-  you'll have to manage the counter yourself.
-
-* Added natural object-style assignment for has_one and belongs_to associations. Consider the following model:
-
-    class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_one :manager
-    end
-
-    class Manager < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :project
-    end
-
-  Earlier, assignments would work like following regardless of which way the assignment told the best story:
-
-    active_record.manager_id = david.id
-
-  Now you can do it either from the belonging side:
-
-    david.project = active_record
-
-  ...or from the having side:
-
-    active_record.manager = david
-
-  If the assignment happens from the having side, the assigned object is automatically saved. So in the example above, the
-  project_id attribute on david would be set to the id of active_record, then david would be saved.
-
-* Added natural object-style assignment for has_many associations [Florian Weber]. Consider the following model:
-
-    class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :milestones
-    end
-
-    class Milestone < ActiveRecord::Base
-      belongs_to :project
-    end
-
-  Earlier, assignments would work like following regardless of which way the assignment told the best story:
-
-    deadline.project_id = active_record.id
-
-  Now you can do it either from the belonging side:
-
-    deadline.project = active_record
-
-  ...or from the having side:
-
-    active_record.milestones << deadline
-
-  The milestone is automatically saved with the new foreign key.
-
-* API CHANGE: Attributes for text (or blob or similar) columns will now have unknown classes stored using YAML instead of using
-  to_s. (Known classes that won't be yamelized are: String, NilClass, TrueClass, FalseClass, Fixnum, Date, and Time).
-  Likewise, data pulled out of text-based attributes will be attempted converged using Yaml if they have the "--- " header.
-  This was primarily done to be enable the storage of hashes and arrays without wrapping them in aggregations, so now you can do:
-
-    user = User.find(1)
-    user.preferences = { "background" => "black", "display" => large }
-    user.save
-
-    User.find(1).preferences # => { "background" => "black", "display" => large }
-
-  Please note that this method should only be used when you don't care about representing the object in proper columns in
-  the database. A money object consisting of an amount and a currency is still a much better fit for a value object done through
-  aggregations than this new option.
-
-* POSSIBLE CODE BREAKAGE: As a consequence of the lazy type conversions, it's a bad idea to reference the @attributes hash
-  directly (it always was, but now it's paramount that you don't). If you do, you won't get the type conversion. So to implement
-  new accessors for existing attributes, use read_attribute(attr_name) and write_attribute(attr_name, value) instead. Like this:
-
-    class Song < ActiveRecord::Base
-      # Uses an integer of seconds to hold the length of the song
-
-      def length=(minutes)
-        write_attribute("length", minutes * 60)
-      end
-
-      def length
-        read_attribute("length") / 60
-      end
-    end
-
-  The clever kid will notice that this opens a door to sidestep the automated type conversion by using @attributes directly.
-  This is not recommended as read/write_attribute may be granted additional responsibilities in the future, but if you think
-  you know what you're doing and aren't afraid of future consequences, this is an option.
-
-* Applied a few minor bug fixes reported by Daniel Von Fange.
-
-
-*0.8.4*
-
-_Reflection_
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Reflection with a bunch of methods and classes for reflecting in aggregations and associations.
-
-* Added Base.columns and Base.content_columns which returns arrays of column description (type, default, etc) objects.
-
-* Added Base#attribute_names which returns an array of names for the attributes available on the object.
-
-* Added Base#column_for_attribute(name) which returns the column description object for the named attribute.
-
-
-_Misc_
-
-* Added multi-parameter assignment:
-
-    # Instantiate objects for all attribute classes that needs more than one constructor parameter. This is done
-    # by calling new on the column type or aggregation type (through composed_of) object with these parameters.
-    # So having the pairs written_on(1) = "2004", written_on(2) = "6", written_on(3) = "24", will instantiate
-    # written_on (a date type) with Date.new("2004", "6", "24"). You can also specify a typecast character in the
-    # parenteses to have the parameters typecasted before they're used in the constructor. Use i for Fixnum, f for Float,
-    # s for String, and a for Array.
-
-  This is incredibly useful for assigning dates from HTML drop-downs of month, year, and day.
-
-* Fixed bug with custom primary key column name and Base.find on multiple parameters.
-
-* Fixed bug with dependent option on has_one associations if there was no associated object.
-
-
-*0.8.3*
-
-_Transactions_
-
-* Added transactional protection for destroy (important for the new :dependent option) [Suggested by Carl Youngblood]
-
-* Fixed so transactions are ignored on MyISAM tables for MySQL (use InnoDB to get transactions)
-
-* Changed transactions so only exceptions will cause a rollback, not returned false.
-
-
-_Mapping_
-
-* Added support for non-integer primary keys [Aredridel/earlier work by Michael Neumann]
-
-    User.find "jdoe"
-    Product.find "PDKEY-INT-12"
-
-* Added option to specify naming method for primary key column. ActiveRecord::Base.primary_key_prefix_type can either
-  be set to nil, :table_name, or :table_name_with_underscore. :table_name will assume that Product class has a primary key
-  of "productid" and :table_name_with_underscore will assume "product_id". The default nil will just give "id".
-
-* Added an overwriteable primary_key method that'll instruct AR to the name of the
-  id column [Aredridele/earlier work by Guan Yang]
-
-    class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
-      def self.primary_key() "project_id" end
-    end
-
-* Fixed that Active Records can safely associate inside and out of modules.
-
-    class MyApplication::Account < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :clients # will look for MyApplication::Client
-      has_many :interests, :class_name => "Business::Interest" # will look for Business::Interest
-    end
-
-* Fixed that Active Records can safely live inside modules [Aredridel]
-
-    class MyApplication::Account < ActiveRecord::Base
-    end
-
-
-_Misc_
-
-* Added freeze call to value object assignments to ensure they remain immutable [Spotted by Gavin Sinclair]
-
-* Changed interface for specifying observed class in observers. Was OBSERVED_CLASS constant, now is
-  observed_class() class method. This is more consistant with things like self.table_name(). Works like this:
-
-    class AuditObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
-      def self.observed_class() Account end
-      def after_update(account)
-        AuditTrail.new(account, "UPDATED")
-      end
-    end
-
-  [Suggested by Gavin Sinclair]
-
-* Create new Active Record objects by setting the attributes through a block. Like this:
-
-    person = Person.new do |p|
-      p.name = 'Freddy'
-      p.age  = 19
-    end
-
-  [Suggested by Gavin Sinclair]
-
-
-*0.8.2*
-
-* Added inheritable callback queues that can ensure that certain callback methods or inline fragments are
-  run throughout the entire inheritance hierarchy. Regardless of whether a descendant overwrites the callback
-  method:
-
-    class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
-      before_destroy :destroy_author, 'puts "I'm an inline fragment"'
-    end
-
-  Learn more in link:classes/ActiveRecord/Callbacks.html
-
-* Added :dependent option to has_many and has_one, which will automatically destroy associated objects when
-  the holder is destroyed:
-
-    class Album < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_many :tracks, :dependent => true
-    end
-
-  All the associated tracks are destroyed when the album is.
-
-* Added Base.create as a factory that'll create, save, and return a new object in one step.
-
-* Automatically convert strings in config hashes to symbols for the _connection methods. This allows you
-  to pass the argument hashes directly from yaml. (Luke)
-
-* Fixed the install.rb to include simple.rb [Spotted by Kevin Bullock]
-
-* Modified block syntax to better follow our code standards outlined in
-  http://www.rubyonrails.org/CodingStandards
-
-
-*0.8.1*
-
-* Added object-level transactions [Austin Ziegler]
-
-* Changed adapter-specific connection methods to use centralized ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection,
-  which is parametized through a config hash with symbol keys instead of a regular parameter list.
-  This will allow for database connections to be opened in a more generic fashion. (Luke)
-
-  NOTE: This requires all *_connections to be updated! Read more in:
-  http://ar.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html#M000081
-
-* Fixed SQLite adapter so objects fetched from has_and_belongs_to_many have proper attributes
-  (t.name is now name). [Spotted by Garrett Rooney]
-
-* Fixed SQLite adapter so dates are returned as Date objects, not Time objects [Spotted by Gavin Sinclair]
-
-* Fixed requirement of date class, so date conversions are succesful regardless of whether you
-  manually require date or not.
-
-
-*0.8.0*
-
-* Added transactions
-
-* Changed Base.find to also accept either a list (1, 5, 6) or an array of ids ([5, 7])
-  as parameter and then return an array of objects instead of just an object
-
-* Fixed method has_collection? for has_and_belongs_to_many macro to behave as a
-  collection, not an association
-
-* Fixed SQLite adapter so empty or nil values in columns of datetime, date, or time type
-  aren't treated as current time [Spotted by Gavin Sinclair]
-
-
-*0.7.6*
-
-* Fixed the install.rb to create the lib/active_record/support directory [Spotted by Gavin Sinclair]
-* Fixed that has_association? would always return true [Daniel Von Fange]

+## Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased) ##
+
+*   Added support for partial indices to PostgreSQL adapter
+
+    The `add_index` method now supports a `where` option that receives a
+    string with the partial index criteria.
+
+      add_index(:accounts, :code, :where => "active")
+
+      Generates
+
+      CREATE INDEX index_accounts_on_code ON accounts(code) WHERE active
+
+    *Marcelo Silveira*
+
+*   Implemented ActiveRecord::Relation#none method
+
+    The `none` method returns a chainable relation with zero records
+    (an instance of the NullRelation class).
+
+    Any subsequent condition chained to the returned relation will continue
+    generating an empty relation and will not fire any query to the database.
+
+    *Juanjo Bazán*
+
+*   Added the `ActiveRecord::NullRelation` class implementing the null
+    object pattern for the Relation class. *Juanjo Bazán*
+
+*   Added deprecation for the `:dependent => :restrict` association option.
+
+    Please note:
+
+      * Up until now `has_many` and `has_one`, `:dependent => :restrict`
+        option raised a `DeleteRestrictionError` at the time of destroying
+        the object. Instead, it will add an error on the model.
+
+      * To fix this warning, make sure your code isn't relying on a
+        `DeleteRestrictionError` and then add
+        `config.active_record.dependent_restrict_raises = false` to your
+        application config.
+
+      * New rails application would be generated with the
+        `config.active_record.dependent_restrict_raises = false` in the
+        application config.
+
+    *Manoj Kumar*
+
+*   Added `create_join_table` migration helper to create HABTM join tables
+
+        create_join_table :products, :categories
+        # =>
+        # create_table :categories_products, :id => false do |td|
+        #   td.integer :product_id, :null => false
+        #   td.integer :category_id, :null => false
+        # end
+
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
+
+*   The primary key is always initialized in the @attributes hash to nil (unless
+    another value has been specified).
+
+*   In previous releases, the following would generate a single query with
+    an `OUTER JOIN comments`, rather than two separate queries:
+
+        Post.includes(:comments)
+            .where("comments.name = 'foo'")
+
+    This behaviour relies on matching SQL string, which is an inherently
+    flawed idea unless we write an SQL parser, which we do not wish to
+    do.
+
+    Therefore, it is now deprecated.
+
+    To avoid deprecation warnings and for future compatibility, you must
+    explicitly state which tables you reference, when using SQL snippets:
+
+        Post.includes(:comments)
+            .where("comments.name = 'foo'")
+            .references(:comments)
+
+    Note that you do not need to explicitly specify references in the
+    following cases, as they can be automatically inferred:
+
+        Post.where(comments: { name: 'foo' })
+        Post.where('comments.name' => 'foo')
+        Post.order('comments.name')
+
+    You also do not need to worry about this unless you are doing eager
+    loading. Basically, don't worry unless you see a deprecation warning
+    or (in future releases) an SQL error due to a missing JOIN.
+
+    [Jon Leighton]
+
+*   Support for the `schema_info` table has been dropped.  Please
+    switch to `schema_migrations`.
+
+*   Connections *must* be closed at the end of a thread.  If not, your
+    connection pool can fill and an exception will be raised.
+
+*   Added the `ActiveRecord::Model` module which can be included in a
+    class as an alternative to inheriting from `ActiveRecord::Base`:
+
+        class Post
+          include ActiveRecord::Model
+        end
+
+    Please note:
+
+      * Up until now it has been safe to assume that all AR models are
+        descendants of `ActiveRecord::Base`. This is no longer a safe
+        assumption, but it may transpire that there are areas of the
+        code which still make this assumption. So there may be
+        'teething difficulties' with this feature. (But please do try it
+        and report bugs.)
+
+      * Plugins & libraries etc that add methods to `ActiveRecord::Base`
+        will not be compatible with `ActiveRecord::Model`. Those libraries
+        should add to `ActiveRecord::Model` instead (which is included in
+        `Base`), or better still, avoid monkey-patching AR and instead
+        provide a module that users can include where they need it.
+
+      * To minimise the risk of conflicts with other code, it is
+        advisable to include `ActiveRecord::Model` early in your class
+        definition.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   PostgreSQL hstore records can be created.
+
+*   PostgreSQL hstore types are automatically deserialized from the database.
+
+
+## Rails 3.2.1 (unreleased) ##
+
+*   The threshold for auto EXPLAIN is ignored if there's no logger. *fxn*
+
+*   Fix possible race condition when two threads try to define attribute
+    methods for the same class.
+
+
+## Rails 3.2.0 (January 20, 2012) ##
+
+*   Added a `with_lock` method to ActiveRecord objects, which starts
+    a transaction, locks the object (pessimistically) and yields to the block.
+    The method takes one (optional) parameter and passes it to `lock!`.
+
+    Before:
+
+        class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
+          def cancel!
+            transaction do
+              lock!
+              # ... cancelling logic
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+    After:
+
+        class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
+          def cancel!
+            with_lock do
+              # ... cancelling logic
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+    *Olek Janiszewski*
+
+*   'on' and 'ON' boolean columns values are type casted to true
+    *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Added ability to run migrations only for given scope, which allows
+    to run migrations only from one engine (for example to revert changes
+    from engine that you want to remove).
+
+    Example:
+      rake db:migrate SCOPE=blog
+
+    *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Migrations copied from engines are now scoped with engine's name,
+    for example 01_create_posts.blog.rb. *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Implements `AR::Base.silence_auto_explain`. This method allows the user to
+    selectively disable automatic EXPLAINs within a block. *fxn*
+
+*   Implements automatic EXPLAIN logging for slow queries.
+
+    A new configuration parameter `config.active_record.auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds`
+    determines what's to be considered a slow query. Setting that to `nil` disables
+    this feature. Defaults are 0.5 in development mode, and `nil` in test and production
+    modes.
+
+    As of this writing there's support for SQLite, MySQL (mysql2 adapter), and
+    PostgreSQL.
+
+    *fxn*
+
+*   Implemented ActiveRecord::Relation#pluck method
+
+    Method returns Array of column value from table under ActiveRecord model
+
+        Client.pluck(:id)
+
+    *Bogdan Gusiev*
+
+*   Automatic closure of connections in threads is deprecated.  For example
+    the following code is deprecated:
+
+    Thread.new { Post.find(1) }.join
+
+    It should be changed to close the database connection at the end of
+    the thread:
+
+    Thread.new {
+      Post.find(1)
+      Post.connection.close
+    }.join
+
+    Only people who spawn threads in their application code need to worry
+    about this change.
+
+*   Deprecated:
+
+      * `set_table_name`
+      * `set_inheritance_column`
+      * `set_sequence_name`
+      * `set_primary_key`
+      * `set_locking_column`
+
+    Use an assignment method instead. For example, instead of `set_table_name`, use `self.table_name=`:
+
+         class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
+           self.table_name = "project"
+         end
+
+    Or define your own `self.table_name` method:
+
+         class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+           def self.table_name
+             "special_" + super
+           end
+         end
+         Post.table_name # => "special_posts"
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Generated association methods are created within a separate module to allow overriding and
+    composition using `super`. For a class named `MyModel`, the module is named
+    `MyModel::GeneratedFeatureMethods`. It is included into the model class immediately after
+    the `generated_attributes_methods` module defined in ActiveModel, so association methods
+    override attribute methods of the same name. *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Implemented ActiveRecord::Relation#explain. *fxn*
+
+*   Add ActiveRecord::Relation#uniq for generating unique queries.
+
+    Before:
+
+        Client.select('DISTINCT name')
+
+    After:
+
+        Client.select(:name).uniq
+
+    This also allows you to revert the uniqueness in a relation:
+
+        Client.select(:name).uniq.uniq(false)
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Support index sort order in sqlite, mysql and postgres adapters. *Vlad Jebelev*
+
+*   Allow the :class_name option for associations to take a symbol (:Client) in addition to
+    a string ('Client').
+
+    This is to avoid confusing newbies, and to be consistent with the fact that other options
+    like :foreign_key already allow a symbol or a string.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   In development mode the db:drop task also drops the test database. For symmetry with
+    the db:create task. *Dmitriy Kiriyenko*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base.store for declaring simple single-column key/value stores *DHH*
+
+        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+          store :settings, accessors: [ :color, :homepage ]
+        end
+
+        u = User.new(color: 'black', homepage: '37signals.com')
+        u.color                          # Accessor stored attribute
+        u.settings[:country] = 'Denmark' # Any attribute, even if not specified with an accessor
+
+
+*   MySQL: case-insensitive uniqueness validation avoids calling LOWER when
+    the column already uses a case-insensitive collation. Fixes #561.
+
+    *Joseph Palermo*
+
+*   Transactional fixtures enlist all active database connections. You can test
+    models on different connections without disabling transactional fixtures.
+
+    *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add first_or_create, first_or_create!, first_or_initialize methods to Active Record. This is a
+    better approach over the old find_or_create_by dynamic methods because it's clearer which
+    arguments are used to find the record and which are used to create it:
+
+        User.where(:first_name => "Scarlett").first_or_create!(:last_name => "Johansson")
+
+    *Andrés Mejía*
+
+*   Fix nested attributes bug where _destroy parameter is taken into account
+    during :reject_if => :all_blank (fixes #2937)
+
+    *Aaron Christy*
+
+## Rails 3.1.3 (November 20, 2011) ##
+
+*   Perf fix: If we're deleting all records in an association, don't add a IN(..) clause
+    to the query. *GH 3672*
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Fix bug with referencing other mysql databases in set_table_name. *GH 3690*
+
+*   Fix performance bug with mysql databases on a server with lots of other databses. *GH 3678*
+
+    *Christos Zisopoulos and Kenny J*
+
+## Rails 3.1.2 (November 18, 2011) ##
+
+*   Fix bug with PostgreSQLAdapter#indexes. When the search path has multiple schemas, spaces
+    were not being stripped from the schema names after the first.
+
+    *Sean Kirby*
+
+*   Preserve SELECT columns on the COUNT for finder_sql when possible. *GH 3503*
+
+    *Justin Mazzi*
+
+*   Reset prepared statement cache when schema changes impact statement results. *GH 3335*
+
+    *Aaron Patterson*
+
+*   Postgres: Do not attempt to deallocate a statement if the connection is no longer active.
+
+    *Ian Leitch*
+
+*   Prevent QueryCache leaking database connections. *GH 3243*
+
+    *Mark J. Titorenko*
+
+*   Fix bug where building the conditions of a nested through association could potentially
+    modify the conditions of the through and/or source association. If you have experienced
+    bugs with conditions appearing in the wrong queries when using nested through associations,
+    this probably solves your problems. *GH #3271*
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   If a record is removed from a has_many :through, all of the join records relating to that
+    record should also be removed from the through association's target.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Fix adding multiple instances of the same record to a has_many :through. *GH #3425*
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Fix creating records in a through association with a polymorphic source type. *GH #3247*
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   MySQL: use the information_schema than the describe command when we look for a primary key. *GH #3440*
+
+    *Kenny J*
+
+## Rails 3.1.1 (October 7, 2011) ##
+
+*   Add deprecation for the preload_associations method. Fixes #3022.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Don't require a DB connection when loading a model that uses set_primary_key. GH #2807.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Fix using select() with a habtm association, e.g. Person.friends.select(:name). GH #3030 and
+    \#2923.
+
+    *Hendy Tanata*
+
+*   Fix belongs_to polymorphic with custom primary key on target. GH #3104.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   CollectionProxy#replace should change the DB records rather than just mutating the array.
+    Fixes #3020.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   LRU cache in mysql and sqlite are now per-process caches.
+
+    * lib/active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb: LRU cache  	  keys are per process id.
+    * lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite_adapter.rb: ditto
+    *Aaron Patterson*
+
+*   Support bulk change_table in mysql2 adapter, as well as the mysql one. *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   If multiple parameters are sent representing a date, and some are blank, the
+    resulting object is nil. In previous releases those values defaulted to 1. This    only affects existing but blank parameters, missing ones still raise an error.    [Akira Matsuda]
+*   ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection now takes a string that contains
+    a URI that specifies the connection configuration.  For example:
+        ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection 'postgres://localhost/foo'
+
+*   Active Record's dynamic finder will now raise the error if you passing in less number of arguments than what you call in method signature.
+
+    So if you were doing this and expecting the second argument to be nil:
+
+        User.find_by_username_and_group("sikachu")
+
+    You'll now get `ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2).` You'll then have to do this:
+
+        User.find_by_username_and_group("sikachu", nil)
+
+    *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+
+## Rails 3.1.0 (August 30, 2011) ##
+
+*   Add a proxy_association method to association proxies, which can be called by association
+    extensions to access information about the association. This replaces proxy_owner etc with
+    proxy_association.owner.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   ActiveRecord::MacroReflection::AssociationReflection#build_record has a new method signature.
+
+    Before: def build_association(*options)
+    After:  def build_association(*options, &block)
+
+    Users who are redefining this method to extend functionality should ensure that the block is
+    passed through to ActiveRecord::Base#new.
+
+    This change is necessary to fix https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/1842.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   AR#pluralize_table_names can be used to singularize/pluralize table name of an individual model:
+
+        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+          self.pluralize_table_names = false
+        end
+
+    Previously this could only be set globally for all models through ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names. *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+*   Add block setting of attributes to singular associations:
+
+        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_one :account
+        end
+
+        user.build_account{ |a| a.credit_limit => 100.0 }
+
+    The block is called after the instance has been initialized. *Andrew White*
+
+*   Add ActiveRecord::Base.attribute_names to return a list of attribute names. This will return an empty array if the model is abstract or table does not exists. *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+*   CSV Fixtures are deprecated and support will be removed in Rails 3.2.0
+
+*   AR#new, AR#create, AR#create!, AR#update_attributes and AR#update_attributes! all accept a second hash as option that allows you
+    to specify which role to consider when assigning attributes. This is built on top of ActiveModel's
+    new mass assignment capabilities:
+
+        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+          attr_accessible :title
+          attr_accessible :title, :published_at, :as => :admin
+        end
+
+        Post.new(params[:post], :as => :admin)
+
+    assign_attributes() with similar API was also added and attributes=(params, guard) was deprecated.
+
+    Please note that this changes the method signatures for AR#new, AR#create, AR#create!, AR#update_attributes and AR#update_attributes!. If you have overwritten these methods you should update them accordingly.

+    *Josh Kalderimis*
+
+*   default_scope can take a block, lambda, or any other object which responds to `call` for lazy
+    evaluation:
+
+        default_scope { ... }
+        default_scope lambda { ... }
+        default_scope method(:foo)
+
+    This feature was originally implemented by Tim Morgan, but was then removed in favour of
+    defining a 'default_scope' class method, but has now been added back in by Jon Leighton.
+    The relevant lighthouse ticket is #1812.
+
+*   Default scopes are now evaluated at the latest possible moment, to avoid problems where
+    scopes would be created which would implicitly contain the default scope, which would then
+    be impossible to get rid of via Model.unscoped.
+
+    Note that this means that if you are inspecting the internal structure of an
+    ActiveRecord::Relation, it will *not* contain the default scope, though the resulting
+    query will do. You can get a relation containing the default scope by calling
+    ActiveRecord#with_default_scope, though this is not part of the public API.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   If you wish to merge default scopes in special ways, it is recommended to define your default
+    scope as a class method and use the standard techniques for sharing code (inheritance, mixins,
+    etc.):
+
+        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+          def self.default_scope
+            where(:published => true).where(:hidden => false)
+          end
+        end
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   PostgreSQL adapter only supports PostgreSQL version 8.2 and higher.
+
+*   ConnectionManagement middleware is changed to clean up the connection pool
+    after the rack body has been flushed.
+
+*   Added an update_column method on ActiveRecord. This new method updates a given attribute on an object, skipping validations and callbacks.
+    It is recommended to use #update_attribute unless you are sure you do not want to execute any callback, including the modification of
+    the updated_at column. It should not be called on new records.
+    Example:
+
+        User.first.update_column(:name, "sebastian")         # => true
+
+    *Sebastian Martinez*
+
+*   Associations with a :through option can now use *any* association as the
+    through or source association, including other associations which have a
+    :through option and has_and_belongs_to_many associations
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   The configuration for the current database connection is now accessible via
+    ActiveRecord::Base.connection_config. *fxn*
+
+*   limits and offsets are removed from COUNT queries unless both are supplied.
+    For example:
+
+        People.limit(1).count           # => 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM people'
+        People.offset(1).count          # => 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM people'
+        People.limit(1).offset(1).count # => 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM people LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1'
+
+    *lighthouse #6262*
+
+*   ActiveRecord::Associations::AssociationProxy has been split. There is now an Association class
+    (and subclasses) which are responsible for operating on associations, and then a separate,
+    thin wrapper called CollectionProxy, which proxies collection associations.
+
+    This prevents namespace pollution, separates concerns, and will allow further refactorings.
+
+    Singular associations (has_one, belongs_to) no longer have a proxy at all. They simply return
+    the associated record or nil. This means that you should not use undocumented methods such
+    as bob.mother.create - use bob.create_mother instead.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Make has_many :through associations work correctly when you build a record and then save it. This
+    requires you to set the :inverse_of option on the source reflection on the join model, like so:
+
+    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+        has_many :taggings
+        has_many :tags, :through => :taggings
+    end
+
+    class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
+        belongs_to :post
+        belongs_to :tag, :inverse_of => :tagging # :inverse_of must be set!
+    end
+
+    class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
+        has_many :taggings
+        has_many :posts, :through => :taggings
+    end
+
+    post = Post.first
+    tag = post.tags.build :name => "ruby"
+    tag.save # will save a Taggable linking to the post
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Support the :dependent option on has_many :through associations. For historical and practical
+    reasons, :delete_all is the default deletion strategy employed by association.delete(*records),
+    despite the fact that the default strategy is :nullify for regular has_many. Also, this only
+    works at all if the source reflection is a belongs_to. For other situations, you should directly
+    modify the through association.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Changed the behaviour of association.destroy for has_and_belongs_to_many and has_many :through.
+    From now on, 'destroy' or 'delete' on an association will be taken to mean 'get rid of the link',
+    not (necessarily) 'get rid of the associated records'.
+
+    Previously, has_and_belongs_to_many.destroy(*records) would destroy the records themselves. It
+    would not delete any records in the join table. Now, it deletes the records in the join table.
+
+    Previously, has_many_through.destroy(*records) would destroy the records themselves, and the
+    records in the join table. [Note: This has not always been the case; previous version of Rails
+    only deleted the records themselves.] Now, it destroys only the records in the join table.
+
+    Note that this change is backwards-incompatible to an extent, but there is unfortunately no
+    way to 'deprecate' it before changing it. The change is being made in order to have
+    consistency as to the meaning of 'destroy' or 'delete' across the different types of associations.
+
+    If you wish to destroy the records themselves, you can do records.association.each(&:destroy)
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Add :bulk => true option to change_table to make all the schema changes defined in change_table block using a single ALTER statement. *Pratik Naik*
+
+    Example:
+
+    change_table(:users, :bulk => true) do |t|
+        t.string :company_name
+        t.change :birthdate, :datetime
+    end
+
+    This will now result in:
+
+        ALTER TABLE `users` ADD COLUMN `company_name` varchar(255), CHANGE `updated_at` `updated_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL
+
+*   Removed support for accessing attributes on a has_and_belongs_to_many join table. This has been
+    documented as deprecated behaviour since April 2006. Please use has_many :through instead.
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Added a create_association! method for has_one and belongs_to associations. *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Migration files generated from model and constructive migration generators
+    (for example, add_name_to_users) use the reversible migration's `change`
+    method instead of the ordinary `up` and `down` methods. *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+*   Removed support for interpolating string SQL conditions on associations. Instead, you should
+    use a proc, like so:
+
+    Before:
+
+        has_many :things, :conditions => 'foo = #{bar}'
+
+    After:
+
+        has_many :things, :conditions => proc { "foo = #{bar}" }
+
+    Inside the proc, 'self' is the object which is the owner of the association, unless you are
+    eager loading the association, in which case 'self' is the class which the association is within.
+
+    You can have any "normal" conditions inside the proc, so the following will work too:
+
+        has_many :things, :conditions => proc { ["foo = ?", bar] }
+
+    Previously :insert_sql and :delete_sql on has_and_belongs_to_many association allowed you to call
+    'record' to get the record being inserted or deleted. This is now passed as an argument to
+    the proc.
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base#has_secure_password (via ActiveModel::SecurePassword) to encapsulate dead-simple password usage with BCrypt encryption and salting [DHH]. Example:
+
+        # Schema: User(name:string, password_digest:string, password_salt:string)
+        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_secure_password
+        end
+
+        user = User.new(:name => "david", :password => "", :password_confirmation => "nomatch")
+        user.save                                                      # => false, password required
+        user.password = "mUc3m00RsqyRe"
+        user.save                                                      # => false, confirmation doesn't match
+        user.password_confirmation = "mUc3m00RsqyRe"
+        user.save                                                      # => true
+        user.authenticate("notright")                                  # => false
+        user.authenticate("mUc3m00RsqyRe")                             # => user
+        User.find_by_name("david").try(:authenticate, "notright")      # => nil
+        User.find_by_name("david").try(:authenticate, "mUc3m00RsqyRe") # => user
+
+
+*   When a model is generated add_index is added by default for belongs_to or references columns
+
+    rails g model post user:belongs_to will generate the following:
+
+        class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
+          def up
+            create_table :posts do |t|
+              t.belongs_to :user
+              t.timestamps
+            end
+
+            add_index :posts, :user_id
+          end
+
+          def down
+            drop_table :posts
+          end
+        end
+
+    *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Setting the id of a belongs_to object will update the reference to the
+    object. [#2989 state:resolved]
+*   ActiveRecord::Base#dup and ActiveRecord::Base#clone semantics have changed
+    to closer match normal Ruby dup and clone semantics.
+*   Calling ActiveRecord::Base#clone will result in a shallow copy of the record,
+    including copying the frozen state.  No callbacks will be called.
+*   Calling ActiveRecord::Base#dup will duplicate the record, including calling
+    after initialize hooks.  Frozen state will not be copied, and all associations    will be cleared.  A duped record will return true for new_record?, have a nil    id field, and is saveable.
+*   Migrations can be defined as reversible, meaning that the migration system
+    will figure out how to reverse your migration.  To use reversible migrations,    just define the "change" method.  For example:
+        class MyMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration
+          def change
+            create_table(:horses) do
+              t.column :content, :text
+              t.column :remind_at, :datetime
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+    Some things cannot be automatically reversed for you.  If you know how to    reverse those things, you should define 'up' and 'down' in your migration.  If    you define something in `change` that cannot be reversed, an    IrreversibleMigration exception will be raised when going down.
+*   Migrations should use instance methods rather than class methods:
+        class FooMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration
+          def up
+            ...
+          end
+        end
+
+    *Aaron Patterson*
+
+*   has_one maintains the association with separate after_create/after_update instead
+    of a single after_save. *fxn*
+
+*   The following code:
+
+        Model.limit(10).scoping { Model.count }
+
+    now generates the following SQL:
+
+        SELECT COUNT(*) FROM models LIMIT 10
+
+    This may not return what you want.  Instead, you may with to do something
+    like this:
+
+        Model.limit(10).scoping { Model.all.size }

+
+*   find_or_create_by_attr(value, ...) works when attr is protected.  #4457 *Santiago Pastorino, Marc-André Lafortune*

+        User.select('id').conditions(["age > ?", 21])
+
+    Now :
+        User.where(:name => 'lifo')
+        User.select('id').where(["age > ?", 21])
+
+*   Add Model.select/group/order/limit/joins/conditions/preload/eager_load class methods returning a lazy relation. *Pratik Naik*

+        posts.each {|p| puts p.id } # Fires "select id from posts order by name"
+
+*   Model.scoped now returns a relation if invoked without any arguments. *Pratik Naik*
+
+    Example :
+
+        posts = Post.scoped

+        posts.each {|p| puts p.name } # Fires "select * from posts" and loads post objects
+
+*   Association inverses for belongs_to, has_one, and has_many. Optimization to reduce database queries.  #3533 *Murray Steele*
+
+        # post.comments sets each comment's post without needing to :include

+
+*   PostgreSQL: XML datatype support.  #1874 *Leonardo Borges*
+
+*   quoted_date converts time-like objects to ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone before serialization. This allows you to use Time.now in find conditions and have it correctly be serialized as the current time in UTC when default_timezone == :utc. #2946 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   SQLite: drop support for 'dbfile' option in favor of 'database.'  #2363 *Paul Hinze, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added :primary_key option to belongs_to associations.  #765 *Szymon Nowak, Philip Hallstrom, Noel Rocha*

+
+        accepts_nested_attributes_for :author, :pages
+    end
+
+*   Make after_save callbacks fire only if the record was successfully saved.  #1735 *Michael Lovitt*
+
+    Previously the callbacks would fire if a before_save cancelled saving.
+
+*   Support nested transactions using database savepoints.  #383 *Jonathan Viney, Hongli Lai*
+
+*   Added dynamic scopes ala dynamic finders #1648 *Yaroslav Markin*

+
+*   Merge scoped :joins together instead of overwriting them. May expose scoping bugs in your code!  #501 *Andrew White*
+
+*   before_save, before_validation and before_destroy callbacks that return false will now ROLLBACK the transaction.  Previously this would have been committed before the processing was aborted. #891 *Xavier Noria*
+
+*   Transactional migrations for databases which support them.  #834 *divoxx, Adam Wiggins, Tarmo Tänav*
+
+*   Set config.active_record.timestamped_migrations = false to have migrations with numeric prefix instead of UTC timestamp. #446. *Andrew Stone, Nik Wakelin*

+
+*   PostgreSQL: support :conditions => [':foo::integer', { :foo => 1 }] without treating the ::integer typecast as a bind variable.  *Tarmo Tänav*
+

+
+*   Added protection against duplicate migration names (Aslak Hellesøy) *#112*
+

+
+*   Time zone aware attribute methods use Time.zone.parse instead of #to_time for String arguments, so that offset information in String is respected. Resolves #105. *Scott Fleckenstein, Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Added change_table for migrations (Jeff Dean) [#71]. Example:
+
+        change_table :videos do |t|

+*   PostgreSQL: create_ and drop_database support.  #9042 *ez, pedz, Nick Sieger*
+
+*   Ensure that validates_uniqueness_of works with with_scope. Closes #9235. *Nik Wakelin, cavalle*

+*   Don't call attr_readonly on polymorphic belongs_to associations, in case it matches the name of some other non-ActiveRecord class/module.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Try loading activerecord-<adaptername>-adapter gem before trying a plain require so you can use custom gems for the bundled adapters. Also stops gems from requiring an adapter from an old Active Record gem.  *Jeremy Kemper, Derrick Spell*
+
+
+## 2.0.0 Preview Release (September 29th, 2007) Includes duplicates of changes from 1.14.2 - 1.15.3 ##
+
+*   Add attr_readonly to specify columns that are skipped during a normal ActiveRecord #save operation. Closes #6896 *Dan Manges*
+
+    class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
+        # Automatically sets Article#comments_count as readonly.
+        belongs_to :article, :counter_cache => :comments_count
+    end
+
+    class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
+        attr_readonly :approved_comments_count
+    end
+
+*   Make size for has_many :through use counter cache if it exists.  Closes #9734 *Xavier Shay*

+
+*   Correctly quote id list for limited eager loading.  #7482 *tmacedo*
+
+*   Fixed that using version-targetted migrates would fail on loggers other than the default one #7430 *valeksenko*
+
+*   Fixed rename_column for SQLite when using symbols for the column names #8616 *drodriguez*
+
+*   Added the possibility of using symbols in addition to concrete classes with ActiveRecord::Observer#observe.  #3998 *Robby Russell, Tarmo Tänav*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base#to_json/from_json *David Heinemeier Hansson, Cheah Chu Yeow*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base#from_xml [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        xml = "<person><name>David</name></person>"
+        Person.new.from_xml(xml).name # => "David"
+
+*   Define dynamic finders as real methods after first usage. *bscofield*
+
+*   Deprecation: remove deprecated threaded_connections methods. Use allow_concurrency instead.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Associations macros accept extension blocks alongside modules.  #9346 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Speed up and simplify query caching.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   connection.select_rows 'sql' returns an array (rows) of arrays (field values).  #2329 *Michael Schuerig*
+
+*   Eager loading respects explicit :joins.  #9496 *dasil003*
+
+*   Extract Firebird, FrontBase, and OpenBase adapters into gems.  #9508, #9509, #9510 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   RubyGem database adapters: expects a gem named activerecord-<database>-adapter with active_record/connection_adapters/<database>_adapter.rb in its load path.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed that altering join tables in migrations would fail w/ sqlite3 #7453 *TimoMihaljov/brandon*
+
+*   Fix association writer with :dependent => :nullify.  #7314 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   OpenBase: update for new lib and latest Rails. Support migrations.  #8748 *dcsesq*
+
+*   Moved acts_as_tree into a plugin of the same name on the official Rails svn.  #9514 *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Moved acts_as_nested_set into a plugin of the same name on the official Rails svn.  #9516 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Moved acts_as_list into a plugin of the same name on the official Rails svn.  *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Explicitly require active_record/query_cache before using it.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fix bug where unserializing an attribute attempts to modify a frozen @attributes hash for a deleted record.  *Rick Olson, marclove*
+
+*   Performance: absorb instantiate and initialize_with_callbacks into the Base methods. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed that eager loading queries and with_scope should respect the :group option *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Improve performance and functionality of the postgresql adapter.  Closes #8049 *roderickvd*
+
+    For more information see: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8049
+
+*   Don't clobber includes passed to has_many.count *Jack Danger Canty*
+
+*   Make sure has_many uses :include when counting *Jack Danger Canty*
+
+*   Change the implementation of ActiveRecord's attribute reader and writer methods *Michael Koziarski*
+    - Generate Reader and Writer methods which cache attribute values in hashes.  This is to avoid repeatedly parsing the same date or integer columns.    - Change exception raised when users use find with :select then try to access a skipped column.  Plugins could override missing_attribute() to lazily load the columns.    - Move method definition to the class, instead of the instance    - Always generate the readers, writers and predicate methods.
+*   Perform a deep #dup on query cache results so that modifying activerecord attributes does not modify the cached attributes.  *Rick Olson*
+
+    \# Ensure that has_many :through associations use a count query instead of loading the target when #size is called.  Closes #8800 [Pratik Naik]
+*   Added :unless clause to validations #8003 [monki]. Example:
+
+        def using_open_id?
+          !identity_url.blank?
+        end
+
+        validates_presence_of :identity_url, :if => using_open_id?
+        validates_presence_of :username, :unless => using_open_id?
+        validates_presence_of :password, :unless => using_open_id?
+
+*   Fix #count on a has_many :through association so that it recognizes the :uniq option.  Closes #8801 *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Fix and properly document/test count(column_name) usage. Closes #8999 *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Remove deprecated count(conditions=nil, joins=nil) usage.  Closes #8993 *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Change belongs_to so that the foreign_key assumption is taken from the association name, not the class name.  Closes #8992 *Josh Susser*
+
+    OLD
+        belongs_to :visitor, :class_name => 'User' # => inferred foreign_key is user_id
+
+    NEW
+        belongs_to :visitor, :class_name => 'User' # => inferred foreign_key is visitor_id
+
+*   Remove spurious tests from deprecated_associations_test, most of these aren't deprecated, and are duplicated in associations_test.  Closes #8987 *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Make create! on a has_many :through association return the association object.  Not the collection.  Closes #8786 *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Move from select * to select tablename.* to avoid clobbering IDs. Closes #8889 *dasil003*
+
+*   Don't call unsupported methods on associated objects when using :include, :method with to_xml #7307, *Manfred Stienstra, jwilger*
+
+*   Define collection singular ids method for has_many :through associations.  #8763 *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Array attribute conditions work with proxied association collections.  #8318 *Kamal Fariz Mahyuddin, theamazingrando*
+
+*   Fix polymorphic has_one associations declared in an abstract class.  #8638 *Pratik Naik, Dax Huiberts*
+
+*   Fixed validates_associated should not stop on the first error.  #4276 *mrj, Manfred Stienstra, Josh Peek*
+
+*   Rollback if commit raises an exception.  #8642 *kik, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Update tests' use of fixtures for the new collections api.  #8726 *Kamal Fariz Mahyuddin*
+
+*   Save associated records only if the association is already loaded.  #8713 *Blaine*
+
+*   MySQL: fix show_variable.  #8448 *matt, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixtures: correctly delete and insert fixtures in a single transaction.  #8553 *Michael Schuerig*
+
+*   Fixtures: people(:technomancy, :josh) returns both fixtures.  #7880 *technomancy, Josh Peek*
+
+*   Calculations support non-numeric foreign keys.  #8154 *Kamal Fariz Mahyuddin*
+
+*   with_scope is protected.  #8524 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Quickref for association methods.  #7723 *marclove, Mindsweeper*
+
+*   Calculations: return nil average instead of 0 when there are no rows to average.  #8298 *davidw*
+
+*   acts_as_nested_set: direct_children is sorted correctly.  #4761 *Josh Peek, rails@33lc0.net*
+
+*   Raise an exception if both attr_protected and attr_accessible are declared.  #8507 *stellsmi*
+
+*   SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle: quote column names in column migration SQL statements.  #8466 *marclove, lorenjohnson*
+
+*   Allow nil serialized attributes with a set class constraint.  #7293 *sandofsky*
+
+*   Oracle: support binary fixtures.  #7987 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Fixtures: pull fixture insertion into the database adapters.  #7987 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Announce migration versions as they're performed.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   find gracefully copes with blank :conditions.  #7599 *Dan Manges, johnnyb*
+
+*   validates_numericality_of takes :greater_than, :greater_than_or_equal_to, :equal_to, :less_than, :less_than_or_equal_to, :odd, and :even options.  #3952 *Bob Silva, Dan Kubb, Josh Peek*
+
+*   MySQL: create_database takes :charset and :collation options. Charset defaults to utf8.  #8448 *matt*
+
+*   Find with a list of ids supports limit/offset.  #8437 *hrudududu*
+
+*   Optimistic locking: revert the lock version when an update fails.  #7840 *plang*
+
+*   Migrations: add_column supports custom column types.  #7742 *jsgarvin, Theory*
+
+*   Load database adapters on demand. Eliminates config.connection_adapters and RAILS_CONNECTION_ADAPTERS. Add your lib directory to the $LOAD_PATH and put your custom adapter in lib/active_record/connection_adapters/adaptername_adapter.rb. This way you can provide custom adapters as plugins or gems without modifying Rails. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Ensure that associations with :dependent => :delete_all respect :conditions option.  Closes #8034 *Jack Danger Canty, Josh Peek, Rick Olson*
+
+*   belongs_to assignment creates a new proxy rather than modifying its target in-place.  #8412 *mmangino@elevatedrails.com*
+
+*   Fix column type detection while loading fixtures.  Closes #7987 *roderickvd*
+
+*   Document deep eager includes.  #6267 *Josh Susser, Dan Manges*
+
+*   Document warning that associations names shouldn't be reserved words.  #4378 *murphy@cYcnus.de, Josh Susser*
+
+*   Sanitize Base#inspect.  #8392, #8623 *Nik Wakelin, jnoon*
+
+*   Replace the transaction {|transaction|..} semantics with a new Exception ActiveRecord::Rollback.   *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Oracle: extract column length for CHAR also.  #7866 *ymendel*
+
+*   Document :allow_nil option for validates_acceptance_of since it defaults to true. *tzaharia*
+
+*   Update documentation for :dependent declaration so that it explicitly uses the non-deprecated API. *Jack Danger Canty*
+
+*   Add documentation caveat about when to use count_by_sql. *fearoffish*
+
+*   Enhance documentation for increment_counter and decrement_counter. *fearoffish*
+
+*   Provide brief introduction to what optimistic locking is. *fearoffish*
+
+*   Add documentation for :encoding option to mysql adapter. *marclove*
+
+*   Added short-hand declaration style to migrations (inspiration from Sexy Migrations, http://errtheblog.com/post/2381) [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        create_table "products" do |t|
+          t.column "shop_id",    :integer
+          t.column "creator_id", :integer
+          t.column "name",       :string,   :default => "Untitled"
+          t.column "value",      :string,   :default => "Untitled"
+          t.column "created_at", :datetime
+          t.column "updated_at", :datetime
+        end
+
+    ...can now be written as:
+
+        create_table :products do |t|
+          t.integer :shop_id, :creator_id
+          t.string  :name, :value, :default => "Untitled"
+          t.timestamps
+        end
+
+*   Use association name for the wrapper element when using .to_xml.  Previous behavior lead to non-deterministic situations with STI and polymorphic associations. *Michael Koziarski, jstrachan*
+
+*   Improve performance of calling .create on has_many :through associations. *evan*
+
+*   Improved cloning performance by relying less on exception raising #8159 *Blaine*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base.inspect to return a column-view like #<Post id:integer, title:string, body:text> *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added yielding of Builder instance for ActiveRecord::Base#to_xml calls *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Small additions and fixes for ActiveRecord documentation.  Closes #7342 *Jeremy McAnally*
+
+*   Add helpful debugging info to the ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid exception in ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SqliteAdapter#table_structure.  Closes #7925. *court3nay*
+
+*   SQLite: binary escaping works with $KCODE='u'.  #7862 *tsuka*
+
+*   Base#to_xml supports serialized attributes.  #7502 *jonathan*
+
+*   Base.update_all :order and :limit options. Useful for MySQL updates that must be ordered to avoid violating unique constraints.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Remove deprecated object transactions.  People relying on this functionality should install the object_transactions plugin at http://code.bitsweat.net/svn/object_transactions.  Closes #5637 *Michael Koziarski, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: remove DateTime -> Time downcast. Warning: do not enable translate_results for the C bindings if you have timestamps outside Time's domain.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   find_or_create_by_* takes a hash so you can create with more attributes than are in the method name. For example, Person.find_or_create_by_name(:name => 'Henry', :comments => 'Hi new user!') is equivalent to Person.find_by_name('Henry') || Person.create(:name => 'Henry', :comments => 'Hi new user!').  #7368 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Make sure with_scope takes both :select and :joins into account when setting :readonly.  Allows you to save records you retrieve using method_missing on a has_many :through associations.  *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Allow a polymorphic :source for has_many :through associations.  Closes #7143 *protocool*
+
+*   Consistent public/protected/private visibility for chained methods.  #7813 *Dan Manges*
+
+*   Oracle: fix quoted primary keys and datetime overflow.  #7798 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Consistently quote primary key column names.  #7763 *toolmantim*
+
+*   Fixtures: fix YAML ordered map support.  #2665 *Manuel Holtgrewe, nfbuckley*
+
+*   DateTimes assume the default timezone.  #7764 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Sybase: hide timestamp columns since they're inherently read-only.  #7716 *Mike Joyce*
+
+*   Oracle: overflow Time to DateTime.  #7718 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: don't use async_exec and async_query with postgres-pr.  #7727, #7762 *flowdelic, toolmantim*
+
+*   Fix has_many :through << with custom foreign keys.  #6466, #7153 *naffis, Rich Collins*
+
+*   Test DateTime native type in migrations, including an edge case with dates
+    during calendar reform.  #7649, #7724 [fedot, Geoff Buesing]
+*   SQLServer: correctly schema-dump tables with no indexes or descending indexes.  #7333, #7703 *Jakob Skjerning, Tom Ward*
+
+*   SQLServer: recognize real column type as Ruby float.  #7057 *sethladd, Tom Ward*
+
+*   Added fixtures :all as a way of loading all fixtures in the fixture directory at once #7214 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Added database connection as a yield parameter to ActiveRecord::Base.transaction so you can manually rollback [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        transaction do |transaction|
+          david.withdrawal(100)
+          mary.deposit(100)
+          transaction.rollback! # rolls back the transaction that was otherwise going to be successful
+        end
+
+*   Made increment_counter/decrement_counter play nicely with optimistic locking, and added a more general update_counters method *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Reworked David's query cache to be available as Model.cache {...}. For the duration of the block no select query should be run more then once. Any inserts/deletes/executes will flush the whole cache however *Tobias Lütke*
+    Task.cache { Task.find(1); Task.find(1) } # => 1 query
+
+*   When dealing with SQLite3, use the table_info pragma helper, so that the bindings can do some translation for when sqlite3 breaks incompatibly between point releases. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Oracle: fix lob and text default handling.  #7344 *gfriedrich, Michael Schoen*
+
+*   SQLServer: don't choke on strings containing 'null'.  #7083 *Jakob Skjerning*
+
+*   MySQL: blob and text columns may not have defaults in 5.x. Update fixtures schema for strict mode.  #6695 *Dan Kubb*
+
+*   update_all can take a Hash argument. sanitize_sql splits into two methods for conditions and assignment since NULL values and delimiters are handled differently.  #6583, #7365 *sandofsky, Assaf*
+
+*   MySQL: SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL=0 so 'where id is null' doesn't select the last inserted id.  #6778 *Jonathan Viney, timc*
+
+*   Use Date#to_s(:db) for quoted dates.  #7411 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Don't create instance writer methods for class attributes.  Closes #7401 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Docs: validations examples.  #7343 *zackchandler*
+
+*   Add missing tests ensuring callbacks work with class inheritance.  Closes #7339 *sandofsky*
+
+*   Fixtures use the table name and connection from set_fixture_class.  #7330 *Anthony Eden*
+
+*   Remove useless code in #attribute_present? since 0 != blank?.  Closes #7249 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Fix minor doc typos. Closes #7157 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Fix incorrect usage of #classify when creating the eager loading join statement.  Closes #7044 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   SQLServer: quote table name in indexes query.  #2928 *keithm@infused.org*
+
+*   Subclasses of an abstract class work with single-table inheritance.  #5704, #7284 *BertG, nick+rails@ag.arizona.edu*
+
+*   Make sure sqlite3 driver closes open connections on disconnect *Rob Rasmussen*
+
+*   [DOC] clear up some ambiguity with the way has_and_belongs_to_many creates the default join table name.  #7072 *Jeremy McAnally*
+
+*   change_column accepts :default => nil. Skip column options for primary keys.  #6956, #7048 *Dan Manges, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   MySQL, PostgreSQL: change_column_default quotes the default value and doesn't lose column type information.  #3987, #6664 *Jonathan Viney, Manfred Stienstra, altano@bigfoot.com*
+
+*   Oracle: create_table takes a :sequence_name option to override the 'tablename_seq' default.  #7000 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   MySQL: retain SSL settings on reconnect.  #6976 *randyv2*
+
+*   Apply scoping during initialize instead of create.  Fixes setting of foreign key when using find_or_initialize_by with scoping. *Cody Fauser*
+
+*   SQLServer: handle [quoted] table names.  #6635 *rrich*
+
+*   acts_as_nested_set works with single-table inheritance.  #6030 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   PostgreSQL, Oracle: correctly perform eager finds with :limit and :order.  #4668, #7021 *eventualbuddha, Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Pass a range in :conditions to use the SQL BETWEEN operator.  #6974 *Dan Manges*
+        Student.find(:all, :conditions => { :grade => 9..12 })
+
+*   Fix the Oracle adapter for serialized attributes stored in CLOBs.  Closes #6825 *mschoen, tdfowler*
+
+*   [DOCS] Apply more documentation for ActiveRecord Reflection.  Closes #4055 *Robby Russell*
+
+*   [DOCS] Document :allow_nil option of #validate_uniqueness_of. Closes #3143 *Caio Chassot*
+
+*   Bring the sybase adapter up to scratch for 1.2 release. *jsheets*
+
+*   Rollback new_record? and id when an exception is raised in a save callback.  #6910 *Ben Curren, outerim*
+
+*   Pushing a record on an association collection doesn't unnecessarily load all the associated records.  *Obie Fernandez, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Oracle: fix connection reset failure.  #6846 *leonlleslie*
+
+*   Subclass instantiation doesn't try to explicitly require the corresponding subclass.  #6840 *leei, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   fix faulty inheritance tests and that eager loading grabs the wrong inheritance column when the class of your association is an STI subclass. Closes #6859 *protocool*
+
+*   Consolidated different create and create! versions to call through to the base class with scope. This fixes inconsistencies, especially related to protected attribtues. Closes #5847 *Alexander Dymo, Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   find supports :lock with :include. Check whether your database allows SELECT ... FOR UPDATE with outer joins before using.  #6764 *vitaly, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add AssociationCollection#create! to be consistent with AssociationCollection#create when dealing with a foreign key that is a protected attribute *Cody Fauser*
+
+*   Added counter optimization for AssociationCollection#any? so person.friends.any? won't actually load the full association if we have the count in a cheaper form *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Change fixture_path to a class inheritable accessor allowing test cases to have their own custom set of fixtures. #6672 *Zach Dennis*
+
+*   Quote ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars.  #6653 *Julian Tarkhanov*
+
+*   Simplify query_attribute by typecasting the attribute value and checking whether it's nil, false, zero or blank.  #6659 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   validates_numericality_of uses \A \Z to ensure the entire string matches rather than ^ $ which may match one valid line of a multiline string.  #5716 *Andreas Schwarz*
+

+
+*   to_xml: correct naming of included associations.  #5831 *Josh Starcher*
+
+*   Pushing a record onto a has_many :through sets the association's foreign key to the associate's primary key and adds it to the correct association.  #5815, #5829 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Add records to has_many :through using <<, push, and concat by creating the association record. Raise if base or associate are new records since both ids are required to create the association. #build raises since you can't associate an unsaved record. #create! takes an attributes hash and creates the associated record and its association in a transaction. *Jeremy Kemper*

+
+*   Document find's :from option. Closes #5762. *andrew@redlinesoftware.com*

+
+*   Replace Reloadable with Reloadable::Deprecated. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Cache nil results for has_one associations so multiple calls don't call the database.  Closes #5757. *Michael Schoen*

+*   create_table rdoc: suggest :id => false for habtm join tables. *Zed Shaw*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: return array fields as strings. #4664 *Robby Russell*
+
+*   SQLServer: added tests to ensure all database statements are closed, refactored identity_insert management code to use blocks, removed update/delete rowcount code out of execute and into update/delete, changed insert to go through execute method, removed unused quoting methods, disabled pessimistic locking tests as feature is currently unsupported, fixed RakeFile to load sqlserver specific tests whether running in ado or odbc mode, fixed support for recently added decimal types, added support for limits on integer types. #5670 *Tom Ward*

+
+*   Update callbacks documentation. #3970 *Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: correctly quote the ' in pk_and_sequence_for. #5462 *tietew@tietew.net*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: correctly quote microseconds in timestamps. #5641 *rick@rickbradley.com*
+
+*   Clearer has_one/belongs_to model names (account has_one :user). #5632 *matt@mattmargolis.net*
+
+*   Oracle: use nonblocking queries if allow_concurrency is set, fix pessimistic locking, don't guess date vs. time by default (set OracleAdapter.emulate_dates = true for the old behavior), adapter cleanup. #5635 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Fixed a few Oracle issues: Allows Oracle's odd date handling to still work consistently within #to_xml, Passes test that hardcode insert statement by dropping the :id column, Updated RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS with Oracle instructions, Corrects method signature for #exec #5294 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Added :group to available options for finds done on associations #5516 *mike@michaeldewey.org*
+
+*   Minor tweak to improve performance of ActiveRecord::Base#to_param.
+
+*   Observers also watch subclasses created after they are declared. #5535 *daniels@pronto.com.au*
+
+*   Removed deprecated timestamps_gmt class methods. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   rake build_mysql_database grants permissions to rails@localhost. #5501 *brianegge@yahoo.com*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: support microsecond time resolution. #5492 *alex@msgpad.com*
+
+*   Add AssociationCollection#sum since the method_missing invokation has been shadowed by Enumerable#sum.
+
+*   Added find_or_initialize_by_X which works like find_or_create_by_X but doesn't save the newly instantiated record. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Row locking. Provide a locking clause with the :lock finder option or true for the default "FOR UPDATE". Use the #lock! method to obtain a row lock on a single record (reloads the record with :lock => true). *Shugo Maeda*
+        # Obtain an exclusive lock on person 1 so we can safely increment visits.
+        Person.transaction do
+          # select * from people where id=1 for update
+          person = Person.find(1, :lock => true)
+          person.visits += 1
+          person.save!
+        end
+
+*   PostgreSQL: introduce allow_concurrency option which determines whether to use blocking or asynchronous #execute. Adapters with blocking #execute will deadlock Ruby threads. The default value is ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Use a per-thread (rather than global) transaction mutex so you may execute concurrent transactions on separate connections. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Change AR::Base#to_param to return a String instead of a Fixnum. Closes #5320. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Use explicit delegation instead of method aliasing for AR::Base.to_param -> AR::Base.id. #5299 (skaes@web.de)
+
+*   Refactored ActiveRecord::Base.to_xml to become a delegate for XmlSerializer, which restores sanity to the mega method. This refactoring also reinstates the opinions that type="string" is redundant and ugly and nil-differentiation is not a concern of serialization *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added simple hash conditions to find that'll just convert hash to an AND-based condition string #5143 [Hampton Catlin]. Example:
+
+        Person.find(:all, :conditions => { :last_name => "Catlin", :status => 1 }, :limit => 2)
+
+    ...is the same as:
+        Person.find(:all, :conditions => [ "last_name = ? and status = ?", "Catlin", 1 ], :limit => 2)
+
+    This makes it easier to pass in the options from a form or otherwise outside.
+
+
+*   Fixed issues with BLOB limits, charsets, and booleans for Firebird #5194, #5191, #5189 *kennethkunz@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed usage of :limit and with_scope when the association in scope is a 1:m #5208 *alex@purefiction.net*
+
+*   Fixed migration trouble with SQLite when NOT NULL is used in the new definition #5215 *greg@lapcominc.com*
+

+
+*   Fixed that count distinct should use the selected column even when using :include #5251 *anna@wota.jp*
+
+*   Fixed that :includes merged from with_scope won't cause the same association to be loaded more than once if repetition occurs in the clauses #5253 *alex@purefiction.net*
+
+*   Allow models to override to_xml.  #4989 *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: don't ignore port when host is nil since it's often used to label the domain socket.  #5247 *shimbo@is.naist.jp*
+
+*   Records and arrays of records are bound as quoted ids. *Jeremy Kemper*
+        Foo.find(:all, :conditions => ['bar_id IN (?)', bars])
+        Foo.find(:first, :conditions => ['bar_id = ?', bar])
+
+*   Fixed that Base.find :all, :conditions => [ "id IN (?)", collection ] would fail if collection was empty *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add a list of regexes assert_queries skips in the ActiveRecord test suite.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix the has_and_belongs_to_many #create doesn't populate the join for new records.  Closes #3692 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Provide Association Extensions access to the instance that the association is being accessed from.
+    Closes #4433 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Update OpenBase adaterp's maintainer's email address. Closes #5176. *Derrick Spell*

+
+*   Add docs for the :as option in has_one associations.  Closes #5144 *cdcarter@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed that has_many collections shouldn't load the entire association to do build or create *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added :allow_nil option for aggregations #5091 *Ian White*
+
+*   Fix Oracle boolean support and tests. Closes #5139. *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   create! no longer blows up when no attributes are passed and a :create scope is in effect (e.g. foo.bars.create! failed whereas foo.bars.create!({}) didn't.) *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Call Inflector#demodulize on the class name when eagerly including an STI model.  Closes #5077 *info@loobmedia.com*
+
+*   Preserve MySQL boolean column defaults when changing a column in a migration. Closes #5015. *pdcawley@bofh.org.uk*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: migrations support :limit with :integer columns by mapping limit < 4 to smallint, > 4 to bigint, and anything else to integer. #2900 *keegan@thebasement.org*
+
+*   Dates and times interpret empty strings as nil rather than 2000-01-01. #4830 *kajism@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Allow :uniq => true with has_many :through associations. *Jeremy Kemper*

+
+*   Reverted old select_limited_ids_list postgresql fix that caused issues in mysql.  Closes #5851 *Rick Olson*

+*   Removes the ability for eager loaded conditions to be interpolated, since there is no model instance to use as a context for interpolation. #5553 *turnip@turnipspatch.com*
+

+
+*   Added update_attributes! which uses save! to raise an exception if a validation error prevents saving #6192 *jonathan*

+
+*   save! shouldn't validate twice.  #6324 *maiha, Bob Silva*
+
+*   Association collections have an _ids reader method to match the existing writer for collection_select convenience (e.g. employee.task_ids). The writer method skips blank ids so you can safely do @employee.task_ids = params[:tasks] without checking every time for an empty list or blank values.  #1887, #5780 *Michael Schuerig*
+
+*   Add an attribute reader method for ActiveRecord::Base.observers *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Deprecation: count class method should be called with an options hash rather than two args for conditions and joins.  #6287 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   has_one associations with a nil target may be safely marshaled.  #6279 *norbauer, Jeremy Kemper*

+
+*   Deprecation: use :dependent => :delete_all rather than :exclusively_dependent => true.  #6024 *Josh Susser*

+
+*   Fix spurious newlines and spaces in AR::Base#to_xml output *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   has_one supports the :dependent => :delete option which skips the typical callback chain and deletes the associated object directly from the database.  #5927 *Chris Mear, Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Nested subclasses are not prefixed with the parent class' table_name since they should always use the base class' table_name.  #5911 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   SQLServer: work around bug where some unambiguous date formats are not correctly identified if the session language is set to german.  #5894 *Tom Ward, kruth@bfpi*

+
+*   MySQL: update test schema for MySQL 5 strict mode.  #5861 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   to_xml: correct naming of included associations.  #5831 *Josh Starcher*
+
+*   Pushing a record onto a has_many :through sets the association's foreign key to the associate's primary key and adds it to the correct association.  #5815, #5829 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Add records to has_many :through using <<, push, and concat by creating the association record. Raise if base or associate are new records since both ids are required to create the association. #build raises since you can't associate an unsaved record. #create! takes an attributes hash and creates the associated record and its association in a transaction. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+        # Create a tagging to associate the post and tag.
+        post.tags << Tag.find_by_name('old')
+        post.tags.create! :name => 'general'

+        end
+
+*   Cache nil results for :included has_one associations also.  #5787 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Fixed a bug which would cause .save to fail after trying to access a empty has_one association on a unsaved record. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Nested classes are given table names prefixed by the singular form of the parent's table name. *Jeremy Kemper*
+        Example: Invoice::Lineitem is given table name invoice_lineitems
+
+*   Migrations: uniquely name multicolumn indexes so you don't have to. *Jeremy Kemper*
+        # people_active_last_name_index, people_active_deactivated_at_index
+        add_index    :people, [:active, :last_name]

+        remove_index :people, [:active, :last_name]
+        remove_index :people, [:active, :deactivated_at]
+
+    WARNING: backward-incompatibility. Multicolumn indexes created before this
+    revision were named using the first column name only. Now they're uniquely
+    named using all indexed columns.
+
+    To remove an old multicolumn index, remove_index :table_name, :first_column
+
+*   Fix for deep includes on the same association. *richcollins@gmail.com*
+
+*   Tweak fixtures so they don't try to use a non-ActiveRecord class.  *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Remove ActiveRecord::Base.reset since Dispatcher doesn't use it anymore.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: autodetected sequences work correctly with multiple schemas. Rely on the schema search_path instead of explicitly qualifying the sequence name with its schema.  #5280 *guy.naor@famundo.com*
+
+*   Replace Reloadable with Reloadable::Deprecated. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Cache nil results for has_one associations so multiple calls don't call the database.  Closes #5757. *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Don't save has_one associations unnecessarily.  #5735 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Refactor ActiveRecord::Base.reset_subclasses to #reset, and add global observer resetting.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Formally deprecate the deprecated finders. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Formally deprecate rich associations.  *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Fixed that default timezones for new / initialize should uphold utc setting #5709 *daniluk@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Fix announcement of very long migration names.  #5722 *blake@near-time.com*
+
+*   The exists? class method should treat a string argument as an id rather than as conditions.  #5698 *jeremy@planetargon.com*
+
+*   Fixed to_xml with :include misbehaviors when invoked on array of model instances #5690 *alexkwolfe@gmail.com*
+
+*   Added support for conditions on Base.exists? #5689 [Josh Peek]. Examples:
+
+        assert (Topic.exists?(:author_name => "David"))
+         assert (Topic.exists?(:author_name => "Mary", :approved => true))
+         assert (Topic.exists?(["parent_id = ?", 1]))
+
+*   Schema dumper quotes date :default values. *Dave Thomas*

+*   Calculate sum with SQL, not Enumerable on HasManyThrough Associations. *Dan Peterson*
+
+*   Factor the attribute#{suffix} methods out of method_missing for easier extension. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Patch sql injection vulnerability when using integer or float columns. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Allow #count through a has_many association to accept :include.  *Dan Peterson*
+
+*   create_table rdoc: suggest :id => false for habtm join tables. *Zed Shaw*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: return array fields as strings. #4664 *Robby Russell*
+
+*   SQLServer: added tests to ensure all database statements are closed, refactored identity_insert management code to use blocks, removed update/delete rowcount code out of execute and into update/delete, changed insert to go through execute method, removed unused quoting methods, disabled pessimistic locking tests as feature is currently unsupported, fixed RakeFile to load sqlserver specific tests whether running in ado or odbc mode, fixed support for recently added decimal types, added support for limits on integer types. #5670 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   SQLServer: fix db:schema:dump case-sensitivity. #4684 *Will Rogers*
+
+*   Oracle: BigDecimal support. #5667 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Numeric and decimal columns map to BigDecimal instead of Float. Those with scale 0 map to Integer. #5454 *robbat2@gentoo.org, work@ashleymoran.me.uk*
+
+*   Firebird migrations support. #5337 *Ken Kunz <kennethkunz@gmail.com>*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: create/drop as postgres user. #4790 *mail@matthewpainter.co.uk, mlaster@metavillage.com*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: correctly quote the ' in pk_and_sequence_for. #5462 *tietew@tietew.net*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: correctly quote microseconds in timestamps. #5641 *rick@rickbradley.com*
+
+*   Clearer has_one/belongs_to model names (account has_one :user). #5632 *matt@mattmargolis.net*
+
+*   Oracle: use nonblocking queries if allow_concurrency is set, fix pessimistic locking, don't guess date vs. time by default (set OracleAdapter.emulate_dates = true for the old behavior), adapter cleanup. #5635 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Fixed a few Oracle issues: Allows Oracle's odd date handling to still work consistently within #to_xml, Passes test that hardcode insert statement by dropping the :id column, Updated RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS with Oracle instructions, Corrects method signature for #exec #5294 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Added :group to available options for finds done on associations #5516 *mike@michaeldewey.org*
+
+*   Observers also watch subclasses created after they are declared. #5535 *daniels@pronto.com.au*
+
+*   Removed deprecated timestamps_gmt class methods. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   rake build_mysql_database grants permissions to rails@localhost. #5501 *brianegge@yahoo.com*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: support microsecond time resolution. #5492 *alex@msgpad.com*
+
+*   Add AssociationCollection#sum since the method_missing invokation has been shadowed by Enumerable#sum.
+
+*   Added find_or_initialize_by_X which works like find_or_create_by_X but doesn't save the newly instantiated record. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Row locking. Provide a locking clause with the :lock finder option or true for the default "FOR UPDATE". Use the #lock! method to obtain a row lock on a single record (reloads the record with :lock => true). *Shugo Maeda*
+        # Obtain an exclusive lock on person 1 so we can safely increment visits.
+        Person.transaction do
+          # select * from people where id=1 for update
+          person = Person.find(1, :lock => true)
+          person.visits += 1
+          person.save!
+        end
+
+*   PostgreSQL: introduce allow_concurrency option which determines whether to use blocking or asynchronous #execute. Adapters with blocking #execute will deadlock Ruby threads. The default value is ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Use a per-thread (rather than global) transaction mutex so you may execute concurrent transactions on separate connections. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Change AR::Base#to_param to return a String instead of a Fixnum. Closes #5320. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Use explicit delegation instead of method aliasing for AR::Base.to_param -> AR::Base.id. #5299 (skaes@web.de)
+
+*   Refactored ActiveRecord::Base.to_xml to become a delegate for XmlSerializer, which restores sanity to the mega method. This refactoring also reinstates the opinions that type="string" is redundant and ugly and nil-differentiation is not a concern of serialization *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added simple hash conditions to find that'll just convert hash to an AND-based condition string #5143 [Hampton Catlin]. Example:
+
+        Person.find(:all, :conditions => { :last_name => "Catlin", :status => 1 }, :limit => 2)
+
+    ...is the same as:
+        Person.find(:all, :conditions => [ "last_name = ? and status = ?", "Catlin", 1 ], :limit => 2)
+
+    This makes it easier to pass in the options from a form or otherwise outside.
+
+
+*   Fixed issues with BLOB limits, charsets, and booleans for Firebird #5194, #5191, #5189 *kennethkunz@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed usage of :limit and with_scope when the association in scope is a 1:m #5208 *alex@purefiction.net*
+
+*   Fixed migration trouble with SQLite when NOT NULL is used in the new definition #5215 *greg@lapcominc.com*
+
+*   Fixed problems with eager loading and counting on SQL Server #5212 *kajism@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Fixed that count distinct should use the selected column even when using :include #5251 *anna@wota.jp*
+
+*   Fixed that :includes merged from with_scope won't cause the same association to be loaded more than once if repetition occurs in the clauses #5253 *alex@purefiction.net*
+
+*   Allow models to override to_xml.  #4989 *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: don't ignore port when host is nil since it's often used to label the domain socket.  #5247 *shimbo@is.naist.jp*
+
+*   Records and arrays of records are bound as quoted ids. *Jeremy Kemper*
+        Foo.find(:all, :conditions => ['bar_id IN (?)', bars])
+        Foo.find(:first, :conditions => ['bar_id = ?', bar])
+
+*   Fixed that Base.find :all, :conditions => [ "id IN (?)", collection ] would fail if collection was empty *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add a list of regexes assert_queries skips in the ActiveRecord test suite.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix the has_and_belongs_to_many #create doesn't populate the join for new records.  Closes #3692 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Provide Association Extensions access to the instance that the association is being accessed from.
+    Closes #4433 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Update OpenBase adaterp's maintainer's email address. Closes #5176. *Derrick Spell*

+*   Add docs for the :as option in has_one associations.  Closes #5144 *cdcarter@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed that has_many collections shouldn't load the entire association to do build or create *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added :allow_nil option for aggregations #5091 *Ian White*
+
+*   Fix Oracle boolean support and tests. Closes #5139. *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   create! no longer blows up when no attributes are passed and a :create scope is in effect (e.g. foo.bars.create! failed whereas foo.bars.create!({}) didn't.) *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Call Inflector#demodulize on the class name when eagerly including an STI model.  Closes #5077 *info@loobmedia.com*
+
+*   Preserve MySQL boolean column defaults when changing a column in a migration. Closes #5015. *pdcawley@bofh.org.uk*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: migrations support :limit with :integer columns by mapping limit < 4 to smallint, > 4 to bigint, and anything else to integer. #2900 *keegan@thebasement.org*
+
+*   Dates and times interpret empty strings as nil rather than 2000-01-01. #4830 *kajism@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Allow :uniq => true with has_many :through associations. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Ensure that StringIO is always available for the Schema dumper. *Marcel Molina Jr.*

+
+        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_one :tagging, :as => :taggable
+        end
+
+        Post.find :all, :include => :tagging
+
+*   Added descriptive error messages for invalid has_many :through associations: going through :has_one or :has_and_belongs_to_many *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added support for going through a polymorphic has_many association: (closes #4401) *Rick Olson*
+
+        class PhotoCollection < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :photos, :as => :photographic
+          belongs_to :firm
+        end
+
+        class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :photo_collections
+          has_many :photos, :through => :photo_collections
+        end
+
+*   Multiple fixes and optimizations in PostgreSQL adapter, allowing ruby-postgres gem to work properly. *ruben.nine@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed that AssociationCollection#delete_all should work even if the records of the association are not loaded yet. *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Changed those private ActiveRecord methods to take optional third argument :auto instead of nil for performance optimizations.  (closes #4456) *Stefan*
+
+*   Private ActiveRecord methods add_limit!, add_joins!, and add_conditions! take an OPTIONAL third argument 'scope' (closes #4456) *Rick Olson*
+
+*   DEPRECATED: Using additional attributes on has_and_belongs_to_many associations. Instead upgrade your association to be a real join model *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that records returned from has_and_belongs_to_many associations with additional attributes should be marked as read only (fixes #4512) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Do not implicitly mark recordss of has_many :through as readonly but do mark habtm records as readonly (eventually only on join tables without rich attributes). *Marcel Mollina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed broken OCIAdapter #4457 *Michael Schoen*
+
+
+## 1.14.0 (March 27th, 2006) ##
+
+*   Replace 'rescue Object' with a finer grained rescue. Closes #4431. *Nicholas Seckar*

+
+*   Add support for :include to with_scope *andrew@redlinesoftware.com*
+
+*   Support the use of public synonyms with the Oracle adapter; required ruby-oci8 v0.1.14 #4390 *Michael Schoen*

+
+*   Fixed db_schema_import when binary types are present #3101 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that MySQL enums should always be returned as strings #3501 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Change has_many :through to use the :source option to specify the source association.  :class_name is now ignored. *Rick Olson*
+
+        class Connection < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :user
+          belongs_to :channel
+        end
+
+        class Channel < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :connections
+          has_many :contacts, :through => :connections, :class_name => 'User' # OLD
+          has_many :contacts, :through => :connections, :source => :user      # NEW
+        end
+
+*   Fixed DB2 adapter so nullable columns will be determines correctly now and quotes from column default values will be removed #4350 *contact@maik-schmidt.de*
+
+*   Allow overriding of find parameters in scoped has_many :through calls *Rick Olson*
+
+    In this example, :include => false disables the default eager association from loading.  :select changes the standard
+    select clause.  :joins specifies a join that is added to the end of the has_many :through query.
+
+        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :tags, :through => :taggings, :include => :tagging do
+            def add_joins_and_select
+              find :all, :select => 'tags.*, authors.id as author_id', :include => false,
+                :joins => 'left outer join posts on taggings.taggable_id = posts.id left outer join authors on posts.author_id = authors.id'
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Fixed that schema changes while the database was open would break any connections to an SQLite database (now we reconnect if that error is throw) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Don't classify the has_one class when eager loading, it is already singular. Add tests. (closes #4117) *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Quit ignoring default :include options in has_many :through calls *Mark James*
+
+*   Allow has_many :through associations to find the source association by setting a custom class (closes #4307) *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Eager Loading support added for has_many :through => :has_many associations (see below).  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Allow has_many :through to work on has_many associations (closes #3864) [sco@scottraymond.net]  Example:
+
+        class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :clients
+          has_many :invoices, :through => :clients
+        end
+
+        class Client < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :firm
+          has_many   :invoices
+        end
+
+        class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :client
+        end
+
+*   Raise error when trying to select many polymorphic objects with has_many :through or :include (closes #4226) *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Fixed has_many :through to include :conditions set on the :through association. closes #4020 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Fix that has_many :through honors the foreign key set by the belongs_to association in the join model (closes #4259) *andylien@gmail.com / Rick Olson*
+
+*   SQL Server adapter gets some love #4298 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Added OpenBase database adapter that builds on top of the http://www.spice-of-life.net/ruby-openbase/ driver. All functionality except LIMIT/OFFSET is supported #3528 *derrickspell@cdmplus.com*
+
+*   Rework table aliasing to account for truncated table aliases.  Add smarter table aliasing when doing eager loading of STI associations. This allows you to use the association name in the order/where clause. [Jonathan Viney / Rick Olson] #4108 Example (SpecialComment is using STI):
+
+        Author.find(:all, :include => { :posts => :special_comments }, :order => 'special_comments.body')
+
+*   Add AbstractAdapter#table_alias_for to create table aliases according to the rules of the current adapter. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Provide access to the underlying database connection through Adapter#raw_connection. Enables the use of db-specific methods without complicating the adapters. #2090 *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Remove broken attempts at handling columns with a default of 'now()' in the postgresql adapter. #2257 *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added connection#current_database that'll return of the current database (only works in MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle so far -- please help implement for the rest of the adapters) #3663 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   Fixed that Migration#execute would have the table name prefix appended to its query #4110 *mark.imbriaco@pobox.com*
+
+*   Make all tinyint(1) variants act like boolean in mysql (tinyint(1) unsigned, etc.) *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Use association's :conditions when eager loading. [Jeremy Evans] #4144
+
+*   Alias the has_and_belongs_to_many join table on eager includes. #4106 *Jeremy Evans*
+
+    This statement would normally error because the projects_developers table is joined twice, and therefore joined_on would be ambiguous.
+
+        Developer.find(:all, :include => {:projects => :developers}, :conditions => 'join_project_developers.joined_on IS NOT NULL')
+
+*   Oracle adapter gets some love #4230 *Michael Schoen*
+
+        * Changes :text to CLOB rather than BLOB [Moses Hohman]
+        * Fixes an issue with nil numeric length/scales (several)
+        * Implements support for XMLTYPE columns [wilig / Kubo Takehiro]
+        * Tweaks a unit test to get it all green again
+        * Adds support for #current_database
+
+*   Added Base.abstract_class? that marks which classes are not part of the Active Record hierarchy #3704 *Rick Olson*
+
+        class CachedModel < ActiveRecord::Base
+          self.abstract_class = true
+        end
+
+        class Post < CachedModel
+        end
+
+        CachedModel.abstract_class?
+        => true
+
+        Post.abstract_class?
+        => false
+
+        Post.base_class
+        => Post
+
+        Post.table_name
+        => 'posts'
+
+*   Allow :dependent options to be used with polymorphic joins. #3820 *Rick Olson*
+
+        class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :attachments, :as => :attachable, :dependent => :delete_all
+        end
+
+*   Nicer error message on has_many :through when :through reflection can not be found. #4042 *court3nay*
+
+*   Upgrade to Transaction::Simple 1.3 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Catch FixtureClassNotFound when using instantiated fixtures on a fixture that has no ActiveRecord model *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Allow ordering of calculated results and/or grouped fields in calculations *solo@gatelys.com*
+
+*   Make ActiveRecord::Base#save! return true instead of nil on success.  #4173 *johan@johansorensen.com*
+
+*   Dynamically set allow_concurrency.  #4044 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Added Base#to_xml that'll turn the current record into a XML representation [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        topic.to_xml
+
+    ...returns:
+
+        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+        <topic>
+          <title>The First Topic</title>

+          <last-read type="date">2004-04-15</last-read>
+        </topic>
+
+    ...and you can configure with:
+
+        topic.to_xml(:skip_instruct => true, :except => [ :id, bonus_time, :written_on, replies_count ])
+
+    ...that'll return:
+
+        <topic>
+          <title>The First Topic</title>
+          <author-name>David</author-name>
+          <approved type="boolean">false</approved>

+          <last-read type="date">2004-04-15</last-read>
+        </topic>
+
+    You can even do load first-level associations as part of the document:
+
+        firm.to_xml :include => [ :account, :clients ]
+
+    ...that'll return something like:
+
+        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+        <firm>
+          <id type="integer">1</id>

+          <name>37signals</name>
+          <clients>
+            <client>
+              <rating type="integer">1</rating>
+              <name>Summit</name>
+            </client>
+            <client>

+            <credit-limit type="integer">50</credit-limit>
+          </account>
+        </firm>
+
+*   Allow :counter_cache to take a column name for custom counter cache columns *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Documentation fixes for :dependent *robby@planetargon.com*
+
+*   Stop the MySQL adapter crashing when views are present. #3782 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Don't classify the belongs_to class, it is already singular #4117 *keithm@infused.org*
+
+*   Allow set_fixture_class to take Classes instead of strings for a class in a module.  Raise FixtureClassNotFound if a fixture can't load.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix quoting of inheritance column for STI eager loading #4098 *Jonathan Viney <jonathan@bluewire.net.nz>*
+
+*   Added smarter table aliasing for eager associations for multiple self joins #3580 *Rick Olson*
+
+        * The first time a table is referenced in a join, no alias is used.
+        * After that, the parent class name and the reflection name are used.
+
+            Tree.find(:all, :include => :children) # LEFT OUTER JOIN trees AS tree_children ...
+
+        * Any additional join references get a numerical suffix like '_2', '_3', etc.
+
+*   Fixed eager loading problems with single-table inheritance #3580 [Rick Olson]. Post.find(:all, :include => :special_comments) now returns all posts, and any special comments that the posts may have. And made STI work with has_many :through and polymorphic belongs_to.
+
+*   Added cascading eager loading that allows for queries like Author.find(:all, :include=> { :posts=> :comments }), which will fetch all authors, their posts, and the comments belonging to those posts in a single query (using LEFT OUTER JOIN) #3913 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:
+
+        # cascaded in two levels
+        >> Author.find(:all, :include=>{:posts=>:comments})
+        => authors
+             +- posts
+                  +- comments
+
+        # cascaded in two levels and normal association
+        >> Author.find(:all, :include=>[{:posts=>:comments}, :categorizations])
+        => authors
+             +- posts
+                  +- comments
+             +- categorizations
+
+        # cascaded in two levels with two has_many associations
+        >> Author.find(:all, :include=>{:posts=>[:comments, :categorizations]})
+        => authors
+             +- posts
+                  +- comments
+                  +- categorizations
+
+        # cascaded in three levels
+        >> Company.find(:all, :include=>{:groups=>{:members=>{:favorites}}})
+        => companies
+             +- groups
+                  +- members
+                       +- favorites
+
+*   Make counter cache work when replacing an association #3245 *eugenol@gmail.com*
+
+*   Make migrations verbose *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Make counter_cache work with polymorphic belongs_to *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fixed that calling HasOneProxy#build_model repeatedly would cause saving to happen #4058 *anna@wota.jp*
+
+*   Added Sybase database adapter that relies on the Sybase Open Client bindings (see http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/sybase-ctlib) #3765 [John Sheets]. It's almost completely Active Record compliant (including migrations), but has the following caveats:
+
+        * Does not support DATE SQL column types; use DATETIME instead.
+        * Date columns on HABTM join tables are returned as String, not Time.
+        * Insertions are potentially broken for :polymorphic join tables
+        * BLOB column access not yet fully supported
+
+*   Clear stale, cached connections left behind by defunct threads. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   CHANGED DEFAULT: set ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency to false.  Most AR usage is in single-threaded applications. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Renamed the "oci" adapter to "oracle", but kept the old name as an alias #4017 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Fixed that Base.save should always return false if the save didn't succeed, including if it has halted by before_save's #1861, #2477 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Speed up class -> connection caching and stale connection verification.  #3979 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Add set_fixture_class to allow the use of table name accessors with models which use set_table_name. *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Added that fixtures to placed in subdirectories of the main fixture files are also loaded #3937 *dblack@wobblini.net*
+
+*   Define attribute query methods to avoid method_missing calls. #3677 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   ActiveRecord::Base.remove_connection explicitly closes database connections and doesn't corrupt the connection cache. Introducing the disconnect! instance method for the PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server adapters; implementations for the others are welcome.  #3591 *Simon Stapleton, Tom Ward*
+
+*   Added support for nested scopes #3407 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:
+
+        Developer.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => "salary > 10000", :limit => 10 }) do
+          Developer.find(:all)     # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (salary > 10000) LIMIT 10
+
+          # inner rule is used. (all previous parameters are ignored)
+          Developer.with_exclusive_scope(:find => { :conditions => "name = 'Jamis'" }) do
+            Developer.find(:all)   # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (name = 'Jamis')
+          end
+
+          # parameters are merged
+          Developer.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => "name = 'Jamis'" }) do
+            Developer.find(:all)   # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (( salary > 10000 ) AND ( name = 'Jamis' )) LIMIT 10
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Fixed db2 connection with empty user_name and auth options #3622 *phurley@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed validates_length_of to work on UTF-8 strings by using characters instead of bytes #3699 *Masao Mutoh*
+
+*   Fixed that reflections would bleed across class boundaries in single-table inheritance setups #3796 *Lars Pind*
+
+*   Added calculations: Base.count, Base.average, Base.sum, Base.minimum, Base.maxmium, and the generic Base.calculate. All can be used with :group and :having. Calculations and statitics need no longer require custom SQL. #3958 [Rick Olson]. Examples:
+
+        Person.average :age
+        Person.minimum :age
+        Person.maximum :age
+        Person.sum :salary, :group => :last_name
+
+*   Renamed Errors#count to Errors#size but kept an alias for the old name (and included an alias for length too) #3920 *Luke Redpath*
+
+*   Reflections don't attempt to resolve module nesting of association classes. Simplify type computation. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Improved the Oracle OCI Adapter with better performance for column reflection (from #3210), fixes to migrations (from #3476 and #3742), tweaks to unit tests (from #3610), and improved documentation (from #2446) #3879 *Aggregated by schoenm@earthlink.net*
+
+*   Fixed that the schema_info table used by ActiveRecord::Schema.define should respect table pre- and suffixes #3834 *rubyonrails@atyp.de*
+
+*   Added :select option to Base.count that'll allow you to select something else than * to be counted on. Especially important for count queries using DISTINCT #3839 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Correct syntax error in mysql DDL,  and make AAACreateTablesTest run first *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Allow :include to be used with has_many :through associations #3611 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: smarter schema dumps using pk_and_sequence_for(table).  #2920 *Blair Zajac*
+
+*   SQLServer: more compatible limit/offset emulation.  #3779 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   Polymorphic join support for has_one associations (has_one :foo, :as => :bar)  #3785 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: correctly parse negative integer column defaults.  #3776 *bellis@deepthought.org*
+
+*   Fix problems with count when used with :include *Jeremy Hopple and Kevin Clark*
+
+*   ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid now states which validations failed in its default error message *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Using AssociationCollection#build with arrays of hashes should call build, not create *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Remove definition of reloadable? from ActiveRecord::Base to make way for new Reloadable code. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed schema handling for DB2 adapter that didn't work: an initial schema could be set, but it wasn't used when getting tables and indexes #3678 *Maik Schmidt*
+
+*   Support the :column option for remove_index with the PostgreSQL adapter. #3661 *Shugo Maeda*
+
+*   Add documentation for add_index and remove_index. #3600 *Manfred Stienstra <m.stienstra@fngtps.com>*
+
+*   If the OCI library is not available, raise an exception indicating as much. #3593 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Add explicit :order in finder tests as postgresql orders results differently by default. #3577. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Make dynamic finders honor additional passed in :conditions. #3569 *Oleg Pudeyev <pudeyo@rpi.edu>, Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Show a meaningful error when the DB2 adapter cannot be loaded due to missing dependencies. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Make .count work for has_many associations with multi line finder sql *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Add AR::Base.base_class for querying the ancestor AR::Base subclass *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Allow configuration of the column used for optimistic locking *wilsonb@gmail.com*
+
+*   Don't hardcode 'id' in acts as list.  *ror@philippeapril.com*
+
+*   Fix date errors for SQLServer in association tests. #3406 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Escape database name in MySQL adapter when creating and dropping databases. #3409 *anna@wota.jp*
+
+*   Disambiguate table names for columns in validates_uniqueness_of's WHERE clause. #3423 *alex.borovsky@gmail.com*
+
+*   .with_scope imposed create parameters now bypass attr_protected *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Don't raise an exception when there are more keys than there are named bind variables when sanitizing conditions. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Multiple enhancements and adjustments to DB2 adaptor. #3377 *contact@maik-schmidt.de*
+
+*   Sanitize scoped conditions. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added option to Base.reflection_of_all_associations to specify a specific association to scope the call. For example Base.reflection_of_all_associations(:has_many) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper.ignore_tables which tells SchemaDumper which tables to ignore. Useful for tables with funky column like the ones required for tsearch2. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   SchemaDumper now doesn't fail anymore when there are unknown column types in the schema. Instead the table is ignored and a Comment is left in the schema.rb. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Fixed that saving a model with multiple habtm associations would only save the first one.  #3244 *yanowitz-rubyonrails@quantumfoam.org, Florian Weber*
+
+*   Fix change_column to work with PostgreSQL 7.x and 8.x.  #3141 *wejn@box.cz, Rick Olson, Scott Barron*

+
+*   made method missing delegation to class methods on relation target work on :through associations. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   made .find() work on :through relations. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Fix typo in association docs. #3296. *Blair Zajac*
+
+*   Fixed :through relations when using STI inherited classes would use the inherited class's name as foreign key on the join model *Tobias Lütke*
+
+## 1.13.2 (December 13th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Become part of Rails 1.0
+
+*   MySQL: allow encoding option for mysql.rb driver.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added option inheritance for find calls on has_and_belongs_to_many and has_many assosociations [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        class Post
+          has_many :recent_comments, :class_name => "Comment", :limit => 10, :include => :author
+        end
+
+        post.recent_comments.find(:all) # Uses LIMIT 10 and includes authors
+        post.recent_comments.find(:all, :limit => nil) # Uses no limit but include authors
+        post.recent_comments.find(:all, :limit => nil, :include => nil) # Uses no limit and doesn't include authors
+
+*   Added option to specify :group, :limit, :offset, and :select options from find on has_and_belongs_to_many and has_many assosociations *David Heinemeier Hansson*

+
+*   MySQL: more robust test for nullified result hashes.  #3124 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Reloading an instance refreshes its aggregations as well as its associations.  #3024 *François Beausoleil*
+
+*   Fixed that using :include together with :conditions array in Base.find would cause NoMethodError #2887 *Paul Hammmond*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: more robust sequence name discovery.  #3087 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Oracle: use syntax compatible with Oracle 8.  #3131 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   MySQL: work around ruby-mysql/mysql-ruby inconsistency with mysql.stat.  Eliminate usage of mysql.ping because it doesn't guarantee reconnect.  Explicitly close and reopen the connection instead.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added preliminary support for polymorphic associations *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added preliminary support for join models *David Heinemeier Hansson*

+
+*   SQLServer: resolve column aliasing/quoting collision when using limit or offset in an eager find.  #2974 *kajism@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Reloading a model doesn't lose track of its connection.  #2996 *junk@miriamtech.com, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed bug where using update_attribute after pushing a record to a habtm association of the object caused duplicate rows in the join table. #2888 *colman@rominato.com, Florian Weber, Michael Schoen*
+
+*   MySQL, PostgreSQL: reconnect! also reconfigures the connection.  Otherwise, the connection 'loses' its settings if it times out and is reconnected.  #2978 *Shugo Maeda*
+
+*   has_and_belongs_to_many: use JOIN instead of LEFT JOIN.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+

+*   SQLServer: active? and reconnect! methods for handling stale connections.  #428 *kajism@yahoo.com, Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>*
+
+*   Associations handle case-equality more consistently: item.parts.is_a?(Array) and item.parts === Array.  #1345 *MarkusQ@reality.com*

+
+*   Oracle: test case for column default parsing.  #2788 *Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>*
+
+*   Update documentation for Migrations.  #2861 *Tom Werner <tom@cube6media.com>*
+
+*   When AbstractAdapter#log rescues an exception, attempt to detect and reconnect to an inactive database connection.  Connection adapter must respond to the active? and reconnect! instance methods.  Initial support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite.  Make certain that all statements which may need reconnection are performed within a logged block: for example, this means no avoiding log(sql, name) { } if @logger.nil?  #428 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Oracle: Much faster column reflection.  #2848 *Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>*
+
+*   Base.reset_sequence_name analogous to reset_table_name (mostly useful for testing).  Base.define_attr_method allows nil values.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: smarter sequence name defaults, stricter last_insert_id, warn on pk without sequence.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: correctly discover custom primary key sequences.  #2594 *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>, meadow.nnick@gmail.com, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   SQLServer: don't report limits for unsupported field types.  #2835 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Include the Enumerable module in ActiveRecord::Errors.  *Rick Bradley <rick@rickbradley.com>*
+
+*   Add :group option, correspond to GROUP BY, to the find method and to the has_many association.  #2818 *rubyonrails@atyp.de*
+
+*   Don't cast nil or empty strings to a dummy date.  #2789 *Rick Bradley <rick@rickbradley.com>*
+
+*   acts_as_list plays nicely with inheritance by remembering the class which declared it.  #2811 *rephorm@rephorm.com*

+
+*   Fixed acts_as_list for definitions without an explicit :order #2803 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Upgrade bundled ruby-mysql 0.2.4 with mysql411 shim (see #440) to ruby-mysql 0.2.6 with a patchset for 4.1 protocol support.  Local change [301] is now a part of the main driver; reapplied local change [2182].  Removed GC.start from Result.free.  *tommy@tmtm.org, akuroda@gmail.com, Doug Fales <doug.fales@gmail.com>, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Correct handling of complex order clauses with SQL Server limit emulation.  #2770 *Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>, Matt B.*
+
+*   Correct whitespace problem in Oracle default column value parsing.  #2788 *rick@rickbradley.com*
+
+*   Destroy associated has_and_belongs_to_many records after all before_destroy callbacks but before destroy.  This allows you to act on the habtm association as you please while preserving referential integrity.  #2065 *larrywilliams1@gmail.com, sam.kirchmeier@gmail.com, elliot@townx.org, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Deprecate the old, confusing :exclusively_dependent option in favor of :dependent => :delete_all.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   More compatible Oracle column reflection.  #2771 *Ryan Davis <ryand-ruby@zenspider.com>, Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>*
+
+
+## 1.13.0 (November 7th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed faulty regex in get_table_name method (SQLServerAdapter) #2639 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Added :include as an option for association declarations [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        has_many :posts, :include => [ :author, :comments ]
+
+*   Rename Base.constrain to Base.with_scope so it doesn't conflict with existing concept of database constraints.  Make scoping more robust: uniform method => parameters, validated method names and supported finder parameters, raise exception on nested scopes.  [Jeremy Kemper]  Example:
+
+        Comment.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => 'active=true' }, :create => { :post_id => 5 }) do
+          # Find where name = ? and active=true
+          Comment.find :all, :conditions => ['name = ?', name]
+          # Create comment associated with :post_id
+          Comment.create :body => "Hello world"
+        end
+
+*   Fixed that SQL Server should ignore :size declarations on anything but integer and string in the agnostic schema representation #2756 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Added constrain scoping for creates using a hash of attributes bound to the :creation key [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        Comment.constrain(:creation => { :post_id => 5 }) do
+          # Associated with :post_id
+          Comment.create :body => "Hello world"
+        end
+
+    This is rarely used directly, but allows for find_or_create on associations. So you can do:
+
+        # If the tag doesn't exist, a new one is created that's associated with the person
+        person.tags.find_or_create_by_name("Summer")
+
+*   Added find_or_create_by_X as a second type of dynamic finder that'll create the record if it doesn't already exist [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        # No 'Summer' tag exists
+        Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.create(:name => "Summer")
+
+        # Now the 'Summer' tag does exist
+        Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.find_by_name("Summer")
+
+*   Added extension capabilities to has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many proxies [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :people do
+            def find_or_create_by_name(name)
+              first_name, *last_name = name.split
+              last_name = last_name.join " "
+
+              find_or_create_by_first_name_and_last_name(first_name, last_name)
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+        person = Account.find(:first).people.find_or_create_by_name("David Heinemeier Hansson")
+        person.first_name # => "David"
+        person.last_name  # => "Heinemeier Hansson"
+
+    Note that the anoymous module must be declared using brackets, not do/end (due to order of evaluation).
+
+*   Omit internal dtproperties table from SQLServer table list.  #2729 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Quote column names in generated SQL.  #2728 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Correct the pure-Ruby MySQL 4.1.1 shim's version test.  #2718 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add Model.create! to match existing model.save! method.  When save! raises RecordInvalid, you can catch the exception, retrieve the invalid record (invalid_exception.record), and see its errors (invalid_exception.record.errors).  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Correct fixture behavior when table name pluralization is off.  #2719 *Rick Bradley <rick@rickbradley.com>*
+
+*   Changed :dbfile to :database for SQLite adapter for consistency (old key still works as an alias) #2644 *Dan Peterson*
+
+*   Added migration support for Oracle #2647 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Worked around that connection can't be reset if allow_concurrency is off.  #2648 *Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>*
+
+*   Fixed SQL Server adapter to pass even more tests and do even better #2634 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Fixed SQL Server adapter so it honors options[:conditions] when applying :limits #1978 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   Added migration support to SQL Server adapter (please someone do the same for Oracle and DB2) #2625 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   Use AR::Base.silence rather than AR::Base.logger.silence in fixtures to preserve Log4r compatibility.  #2618 *dansketcher@gmail.com*
+
+*   Constraints are cloned so they can't be inadvertently modified while they're
+    in effect.  Added :readonly finder constraint.  Calling an association collection's class method (Part.foobar via item.parts.foobar) constrains :readonly => false since the collection's :joins constraint would otherwise force it to true.  [Jeremy Kemper <rails@bitsweat.net>]
+*   Added :offset and :limit to the kinds of options that Base.constrain can use #2466 *duane.johnson@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed handling of nil number columns on Oracle and cleaned up tests for Oracle in general #2555 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Added quoted_true and quoted_false methods and tables to db2_adapter and cleaned up tests for DB2 #2493, #2624 *maik schmidt*
+
+
+## 1.12.2 (October 26th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Allow symbols to rename columns when using SQLite adapter. #2531 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Map Active Record time to SQL TIME.  #2575, #2576 *Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>*
+
+*   Clarify semantics of ActiveRecord::Base#respond_to?  #2560 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Fixed Association#clear for associations which have not yet been accessed. #2524 *Patrick Lenz <patrick@lenz.sh>*
+
+*   HABTM finders shouldn't return readonly records.  #2525 *Patrick Lenz <patrick@lenz.sh>*
+
+*   Make all tests runnable on their own. #2521. *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+
+## 1.12.1 (October 19th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Always parenthesize :conditions options so they may be safely combined with STI and constraints.
+
+*   Correct PostgreSQL primary key sequence detection.  #2507 *tmornini@infomania.com*
+
+*   Added support for using limits in eager loads that involve has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many associations
+
+
+## 1.12.0 (October 16th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Update/clean up documentation (rdoc)
+
+*   PostgreSQL sequence support.  Use set_sequence_name in your model class to specify its primary key sequence.  #2292 *Rick Olson <technoweenie@gmail.com>, Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>*
+
+*   Change default logging colors to work on both white and black backgrounds. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   YAML fixtures support ordered hashes for fixtures with foreign key dependencies in the same table.  #1896 *purestorm@ggnore.net*
+
+*   :dependent now accepts :nullify option. Sets the foreign key of the related objects to NULL instead of deleting them. #2015 *Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>*
+
+*   Introduce read-only records.  If you call object.readonly! then it will mark the object as read-only and raise ReadOnlyRecord if you call object.save.  object.readonly? reports whether the object is read-only.  Passing :readonly => true to any finder method will mark returned records as read-only.  The :joins option now implies :readonly, so if you use this option, saving the same record will now fail.  Use find_by_sql to work around.
+
+*   Avoid memleak in dev mode when using fcgi
+
+*   Simplified .clear on active record associations by using the existing delete_records method. #1906 *Caleb <me@cpb.ca>*
+
+*   Delegate access to a customized primary key to the conventional id method. #2444. *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   Fix errors caused by assigning a has-one or belongs-to property to itself
+
+*   Add ActiveRecord::Base.schema_format setting which specifies how databases should be dumped *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Update DB2 adapter. #2206. *contact@maik-schmidt.de*
+
+*   Corrections to SQLServer native data types. #2267.  *rails.20.clarry@spamgourmet.com*
+
+*   Deprecated ActiveRecord::Base.threaded_connection in favor of ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency.
+
+*   Protect id attribute from mass assigment even when the primary key is set to something else. #2438. *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   Misc doc fixes (typos/grammar/etc.). #2430. *coffee2code*
+
+*   Add test coverage for content_columns. #2432. *coffee2code*

+*   Fix typo of 'constrains' to 'contraints'. #2069. *Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>*
+
+*   Optimization refactoring for add_limit_offset!. In partial fullfilment of #1236. *Stefan Kaes*

+*   Add ability to get all siblings, including the current child, with acts_as_tree. Recloses #2140. *Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>*
+
+*   Add geometric type for postgresql adapter. #2233 *Andrew Kaspick*
+
+*   Add option (true by default) to generate reader methods for each attribute of a record to avoid the overhead of calling method missing. In partial fullfilment of #1236. *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Add convenience predicate methods on Column class. In partial fullfilment of #1236. *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Raise errors when invalid hash keys are passed to ActiveRecord::Base.find. #2363  *Chad Fowler <chad@chadfowler.com>, Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added :force option to create_table that'll try to drop the table if it already exists before creating
+
+*   Fix transactions so that calling return while inside a transaction will not leave an open transaction on the connection. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Use foreign_key inflection uniformly.  #2156 *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   model.association.clear should destroy associated objects if :dependent => true instead of nullifying their foreign keys.  #2221 *joergd@pobox.com, ObieFernandez <obiefernandez@gmail.com>*
+
+*   Returning false from before_destroy should cancel the action.  #1829 *Jeremy Huffman*
+
+*   Recognize PostgreSQL NOW() default as equivalent to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP or CURRENT_DATE, depending on the column's type.  #2256 *mat <mat@absolight.fr>*
+
+*   Extensive documentation for the abstract database adapter.  #2250 *François Beausoleil <fbeausoleil@ftml.net>*

+
+*   Correct and optimize PostgreSQL bytea escaping.  #1745, #1837 *dave@cherryville.org, ken@miriamtech.com, bellis@deepthought.org*
+
+*   Fixtures should only reset a PostgreSQL sequence if it corresponds to an integer primary key named id.  #1749 *chris@chrisbrinker.com*
+
+*   Standardize the interpretation of boolean columns in the Mysql and Sqlite adapters. (Use MysqlAdapter.emulate_booleans = false to disable this behavior)
+
+*   Added new symbol-driven approach to activating observers with Base#observers= [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        ActiveRecord::Base.observers = :cacher, :garbage_collector

+*   Fixed various problems with has_and_belongs_to_many when using customer finder_sql #2094 *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Added better exception error when unknown column types are used with migrations #1814 *François Beausoleil*
+
+*   Fixed "connection lost" issue with the bundled Ruby/MySQL driver (would kill the app after 8 hours of inactivity) #2163, #428 *kajism@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Fixed comparison of Active Record objects so two new objects are not equal #2099 *deberg*
+
+*   Fixed that the SQL Server adapter would sometimes return DBI::Timestamp objects instead of Time #2127 *Tom Ward*

+*   Fix typo in count_by_sql documentation #1969 *Alexey Verkhovsky*
+
+*   Allow add_column and create_table to specify NOT NULL #1712 *emptysands@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fix create_table so that id column is implicitly added *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Default sequence names for Oracle changed to #{table_name}_seq, which is the most commonly used standard. In addition, a new method ActiveRecord::Base#set_sequence_name allows the developer to set the sequence name per model. This is a non-backwards-compatible change -- anyone using the old-style "rails_sequence" will need to either create new sequences, or set: ActiveRecord::Base.set_sequence_name = "rails_sequence" #1798
+
+*   OCIAdapter now properly handles synonyms, which are commonly used to separate out the schema owner from the application user #1798
+
+*   Fixed the handling of camelCase columns names in Oracle #1798
+
+*   Implemented for OCI the Rakefile tasks of :clone_structure_to_test, :db_structure_dump, and :purge_test_database, which enable Oracle folks to enjoy all the agile goodness of Rails for testing. Note that the current implementation is fairly limited -- only tables and sequences are cloned, not constraints or indexes. A full clone in Oracle generally requires some manual effort, and is version-specific. Post 9i, Oracle recommends the use of the DBMS_METADATA package, though that approach requires editing of the physical characteristics generated #1798
+
+*   Fixed the handling of multiple blob columns in Oracle if one or more of them are null #1798
+
+*   Added support for calling constrained class methods on has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many collections #1764 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+        class Comment < AR:B
+          def self.search(q)
+            find(:all, :conditions => ["body = ?", q])
+          end
+        end
+
+        class Post < AR:B
+          has_many :comments
+        end
+
+        Post.find(1).comments.search('hi') # => SELECT * from comments WHERE post_id = 1 AND body = 'hi'
+
+    NOTICE: This patch changes the underlying SQL generated by has_and_belongs_to_many queries. If your relying on that, such as
+    by explicitly referencing the old t and j aliases, you'll need to update your code. Of course, you _shouldn't_ be relying on
+    details like that no less than you should be diving in to touch private variables. But just in case you do, consider yourself
+    noticed :)
+
+*   Added migration support for SQLite (using temporary tables to simulate ALTER TABLE) #1771 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Remove extra definition of supports_migrations? from abstract_adaptor.rb *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix acts_as_list so that moving next-to-last item to the bottom does not result in duplicate item positions
+
+*   Fixed incompatibility in DB2 adapter with the new limit/offset approach #1718 *Maik Schmidt*
+
+*   Added :select option to find which can specify a different value than the default *, like find(:all, :select => "first_name, last_name"), if you either only want to select part of the columns or exclude columns otherwise included from a join #1338 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+
+## 1.11.1 (11 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added support for limit and offset with eager loading of has_one and belongs_to associations. Using the options with has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many associations will now raise an ActiveRecord::ConfigurationError #1692 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed that assume_bottom_position (in acts_as_list) could be called on items already last in the list and they would move one position away from the list #1648 *tyler@kianta.com*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base.threaded_connections flag to turn off 1-connection per thread (required for thread safety). By default it's on, but WEBrick in Rails need it off #1685 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Correct reflected table name for singular associations.  #1688 *court3nay*
+
+*   Fixed optimistic locking with SQL Server #1660 *tom@popdog.net*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrate that can figure out whether to go up or down based on the target version and the current
+
+*   Added better error message for "packets out of order" #1630 *court3nay*
+
+*   Fixed first run of "rake migrate" on PostgreSQL by not expecting a return value on the id #1640
+
+
+## 1.11.0 (6 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that Yaml error message in fixtures hid the real error #1623 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Changed logging of SQL statements to use the DEBUG level instead of INFO
+
+*   Added new Migrations framework for describing schema transformations in a way that can be easily applied across multiple databases #1604 [Tobias Lütke] See documentation under ActiveRecord::Migration and the additional support in the Rails rakefile/generator.
+
+*   Added callback hooks to association collections #1549 [Florian Weber]. Example:
+
+        class Project
+          has_and_belongs_to_many :developers, :before_add => :evaluate_velocity
+
+          def evaluate_velocity(developer)
+            ...
+          end
+        end
+
+    ..raising an exception will cause the object not to be added (or removed, with before_remove).
+
+
+*   Fixed Base.content_columns call for SQL Server adapter #1450 *DeLynn Berry*
+
+*   Fixed Base#write_attribute to work with both symbols and strings #1190 *Paul Legato*
+
+*   Fixed that has_and_belongs_to_many didn't respect single table inheritance types #1081 *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Speed up ActiveRecord#method_missing for the common case (read_attribute).
+
+*   Only notify observers on after_find and after_initialize if these methods are defined on the model.  #1235 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Fixed that single-table inheritance sub-classes couldn't be used to limit the result set with eager loading #1215 *Chris McGrath*
+
+*   Fixed validates_numericality_of to work with overrided getter-method when :allow_nil is on #1316 *raidel@onemail.at*
+
+*   Added roots, root, and siblings to the batch of methods added by acts_as_tree #1541 *Michael Schuerig*
+
+*   Added support for limit/offset with the MS SQL Server driver so that pagination will now work #1569 *DeLynn Berry*
+
+*   Added support for ODBC connections to MS SQL Server so you can connect from a non-Windows machine #1569 *Mark Imbriaco/DeLynn Berry*
+
+*   Fixed that multiparameter posts ignored attr_protected #1532 *alec+rails@veryclever.net*
+
+*   Fixed problem with eager loading when using a has_and_belongs_to_many association using :association_foreign_key #1504 *flash@vanklinkenbergsoftware.nl*
+
+*   Fixed Base#find to honor the documentation on how :joins work and make them consistent with Base#count #1405 [pritchie@gmail.com]. What used to be:
+
+        Developer.find :all, :joins => 'developers_projects', :conditions => 'id=developer_id AND project_id=1'
+
+    ...should instead be:
+
+        Developer.find(
+          :all,
+          :joins => 'LEFT JOIN developers_projects ON developers.id = developers_projects.developer_id',
+          :conditions => 'project_id=1'
+        )
+
+*   Fixed that validations didn't respecting custom setting for too_short, too_long messages #1437 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed that clear_association_cache doesn't delete new associations on new records (so you can safely place new records in the session with Action Pack without having new associations wiped) #1494 *cluon*
+
+*   Fixed that calling Model.find([]) returns [] and doesn't throw an exception #1379
+
+*   Fixed that adding a record to a has_and_belongs_to collection would always save it -- now it only saves if its a new record #1203 *Alisdair McDiarmid*
+
+*   Fixed saving of in-memory association structures to happen as a after_create/after_update callback instead of after_save -- that way you can add new associations in after_create/after_update callbacks without getting them saved twice
+
+*   Allow any Enumerable, not just Array, to work as bind variables #1344 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added actual database-changing behavior to collection assigment for has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many #1425 [Sebastian Kanthak].
+    Example:
+
+        david.projects = [Project.find(1), Project.new("name" => "ActionWebSearch")]
+        david.save
+
+    If david.projects already contain the project with ID 1, this is left unchanged. Any other projects are dropped. And the new
+    project is saved when david.save is called.
+
+    Also included is a way to do assignments through IDs, which is perfect for checkbox updating, so you get to do:
+
+        david.project_ids = [1, 5, 7]
+
+*   Corrected typo in find SQL for has_and_belongs_to_many.  #1312 *ben@bensinclair.com*
+
+*   Fixed sanitized conditions for has_many finder method.  #1281 *jackc@hylesanderson.com, pragdave, Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Comprehensive PostgreSQL schema support.  Use the optional schema_search_path directive in database.yml to give a comma-separated list of schemas to search for your tables.  This allows you, for example, to have tables in a shared schema without having to use a custom table name.  See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/ddl-schemas.html to learn more.  #827 *dave@cherryville.org*
+
+*   Corrected @@configurations typo #1410 *david@ruppconsulting.com*
+
+*   Return PostgreSQL columns in the order they were declared #1374 *perlguy@gmail.com*
+
+*   Allow before/after update hooks to work on models using optimistic locking
+
+*   Eager loading of dependent has_one associations won't delete the association #1212
+
+*   Added a second parameter to the build and create method for has_one that controls whether the existing association should be replaced (which means nullifying its foreign key as well). By default this is true, but false can be passed to prevent it.
+
+*   Using transactional fixtures now causes the data to be loaded only once.
+
+*   Added fixture accessor methods that can be used when instantiated fixtures are disabled.
+
+        fixtures :web_sites
+
+        def test_something
+          assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", web_sites(:rubyonrails).name
+        end
+
+*   Added DoubleRenderError exception that'll be raised if render* is called twice #518 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed exceptions occuring after render has been called #1096 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   CHANGED: validates_presence_of now uses Errors#add_on_blank, which will make "  " fail the validation where it didn't before #1309
+
+*   Added Errors#add_on_blank which works like Errors#add_on_empty, but uses Object#blank? instead
+
+*   Added the :if option to all validations that can either use a block or a method pointer to determine whether the validation should be run or not. #1324 [Duane Johnson/jhosteny]. Examples:
+
+    Conditional validations such as the following are made possible:
+        validates_numericality_of :income, :if => :employed?
+
+    Conditional validations can also solve the salted login generator problem:
+        validates_confirmation_of :password, :if => :new_password?
+
+    Using blocks:
+        validates_presence_of :username, :if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 1 }
+
+*   Fixed use of construct_finder_sql when using :join #1288 *dwlt@dwlt.net*
+
+*   Fixed that :delete_sql in has_and_belongs_to_many associations couldn't access record properties #1299 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed that clone would break when an aggregate had the same name as one of its attributes #1307 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Changed that destroying an object will only freeze the attributes hash, which keeps the object from having attributes changed (as that wouldn't make sense), but allows for the querying of associations after it has been destroyed.
+
+*   Changed the callbacks such that observers are notified before the in-object callbacks are triggered. Without this change, it wasn't possible to act on the whole object in something like a before_destroy observer without having the objects own callbacks (like deleting associations) called first.
+
+*   Added option for passing an array to the find_all version of the dynamic finders and have it evaluated as an IN fragment. Example:
+
+        # SELECT * FROM topics WHERE title IN ('First', 'Second')
+        Topic.find_all_by_title(["First", "Second"])
+
+*   Added compatibility with camelCase column names for dynamic finders #533 *Dee Zsombor*
+
+*   Fixed extraneous comma in count() function that made it not work with joins #1156 *Jarkko Laine/Dee Zsombor*
+
+*   Fixed incompatibility with Base#find with an array of ids that would fail when using eager loading #1186 *Alisdair McDiarmid*
+
+*   Fixed that validate_length_of lost :on option when :within was specified #1195 *jhosteny@mac.com*
+
+*   Added encoding and min_messages options for PostgreSQL #1205 [Shugo Maeda]. Configuration example:
+
+        development:
+          adapter: postgresql
+          database: rails_development
+          host: localhost
+          username: postgres
+          password:
+          encoding: UTF8
+          min_messages: ERROR
+
+*   Fixed acts_as_list where deleting an item that was removed from the list would ruin the positioning of other list items #1197 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added validates_exclusion_of as a negative of validates_inclusion_of
+
+*   Optimized counting of has_many associations by setting the association to empty if the count is 0 so repeated calls doesn't trigger database calls
+
+
+## 1.10.1 (20th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed frivilous database queries being triggered with eager loading on empty associations and other things
+
+*   Fixed order of loading in eager associations
+
+*   Fixed stray comma when using eager loading and ordering together from has_many associations #1143
+
+
+## 1.10.0 (19th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added eager loading of associations as a way to solve the N+1 problem more gracefully without piggy-back queries. Example:
+
+        for post in Post.find(:all, :limit => 100)
+          puts "Post:            " + post.title
+          puts "Written by:      " + post.author.name
+          puts "Last comment on: " + post.comments.first.created_on
+        end
+
+    This used to generate 301 database queries if all 100 posts had both author and comments. It can now be written as:
+
+        for post in Post.find(:all, :limit => 100, :include => [ :author, :comments ])
+
+    ...and the number of database queries needed is now 1.
+
+*   Added new unified Base.find API and deprecated the use of find_first and find_all. See the documentation for Base.find. Examples:
+
+        Person.find(1, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
+        Person.find(1, 5, 6, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
+        Person.find(:first, :order => "created_on DESC", :offset => 5)
+        Person.find(:all, :conditions => [ "category IN (?)", categories], :limit => 50)
+        Person.find(:all, :offset => 10, :limit => 10)
+
+*   Added acts_as_nested_set #1000 [wschenk]. Introduction:
+
+        This acts provides Nested Set functionality.  Nested Set is similiar to Tree, but with
+        the added feature that you can select the children and all of it's descendants with
+        a single query.  A good use case for this is a threaded post system, where you want
+        to display every reply to a comment without multiple selects.
+
+*   Added Base.save! that attempts to save the record just like Base.save but will raise a RecordInvalid exception instead of returning false if the record is not valid *Dave Thomas*
+
+*   Fixed PostgreSQL usage of fixtures with regards to public schemas and table names with dots #962 *gnuman1@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed that fixtures were being deleted in the same order as inserts causing FK errors #890 *andrew.john.peters@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed loading of fixtures in to be in the right order (or PostgreSQL would bark) #1047 *stephenh@chase3000.com*
+
+*   Fixed page caching for non-vhost applications living underneath the root #1004 *Ben Schumacher*
+
+*   Fixes a problem with the SQL Adapter which was resulting in IDENTITY_INSERT not being set to ON when it should be #1104 *adelle*
+
+*   Added the option to specify the acceptance string in validates_acceptance_of #1106 *caleb@aei-tech.com*
+
+*   Added insert_at(position) to acts_as_list #1083 *DeLynnB*
+
+*   Removed the default order by id on has_and_belongs_to_many queries as it could kill performance on large sets (you can still specify by hand with :order)
+
+*   Fixed that Base.silence should restore the old logger level when done, not just set it to DEBUG #1084 *yon@milliped.com*
+
+*   Fixed boolean saving on Oracle #1093 *mparrish@pearware.org*
+
+*   Moved build_association and create_association for has_one and belongs_to out of deprecation as they work when the association is nil unlike association.build and association.create, which require the association to be already in place #864
+
+*   Added rollbacks of transactions if they're active as the dispatcher is killed gracefully (TERM signal) #1054 *Leon Bredt*
+
+*   Added quoting of column names for fixtures #997 *jcfischer@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed counter_sql when no records exist in database for PostgreSQL (would give error, not 0) #1039 *Caleb Tennis*
+
+*   Fixed that benchmarking times for rendering included db runtimes #987 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Fixed boolean queries for t/f fields in PostgreSQL #995 *dave@cherryville.org*
+
+*   Added that model.items.delete(child) will delete the child, not just set the foreign key to nil, if the child is dependent on the model #978 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed auto-stamping of dates (created_on/updated_on) for PostgreSQL #985 *dave@cherryville.org*
+
+*   Fixed Base.silence/benchmark to only log if a logger has been configured #986 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Added a join parameter as the third argument to Base.find_first and as the second to Base.count #426, #988 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Fixed bug in Base#hash method that would treat records with the same string-based id as different *Dave Thomas*
+
+*   Renamed DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words_to_now to DateHelper#time_ago_in_words (old method name is still available as a deprecated alias)
+
+
+## 1.9.1 (27th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that Active Record objects with float attribute could not be cloned #808
+
+*   Fixed that MissingSourceFile's wasn't properly detected in production mode #925 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed that :counter_cache option would look for a line_items_count column for a LineItem object instead of lineitems_count
+
+*   Fixed that AR exists?() would explode on postgresql if the passed id did not match the PK type #900 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Fixed the MS SQL adapter to work with the new limit/offset approach and with binary data (still suffering from 7KB limit, though) #901 *delynnb*
+
+
+## 1.9.0 (22th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added adapter independent limit clause as a two-element array with the first being the limit, the second being the offset #795 [Sam Stephenson]. Example:
+
+        Developer.find_all nil, 'id ASC', 5      # return the first five developers
+        Developer.find_all nil, 'id ASC', [3, 8] # return three developers, starting from #8 and forward
+
+    This doesn't yet work with the DB2 or MS SQL adapters. Patches to make that happen are encouraged.
+
+*   Added alias_method :to_param, :id to Base, such that Active Record objects to be used as URL parameters in Action Pack automatically #812 *Nicholas Seckar/Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Improved the performance of the OCI8 adapter for Oracle #723 *pilx/gjenkins*
+
+*   Added type conversion before saving a record, so string-based values like "10.0" aren't left for the database to convert #820 *dave@cherryville.org*
+
+*   Added with additional settings for working with transactional fixtures and pre-loaded test databases #865 *mindel*
+
+*   Fixed acts_as_list to trigger remove_from_list on destroy after the fact, not before, so a unique position can be maintained #871 *Alisdair McDiarmid*
+
+*   Added the possibility of specifying fixtures in multiple calls #816 *kim@tinker.com*
+
+*   Added Base.exists?(id) that'll return true if an object of the class with the given id exists #854 *stian@grytoyr.net*
+
+*   Added optionally allow for nil or empty strings with validates_numericality_of #801 *Sebastian Kanthak*
+
+*   Fixed problem with using slashes in validates_format_of regular expressions #801 *Sebastian Kanthak*
+
+*   Fixed that SQLite3 exceptions are caught and reported properly #823 *yerejm*
+
+*   Added that all types of after_find/after_initialized callbacks are triggered if the explicit implementation is present, not only the explicit implementation itself
+
+*   Fixed that symbols can be used on attribute assignment, like page.emails.create(:subject => data.subject, :body => data.body)
+
+
+## 1.8.0 (7th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base.colorize_logging to control whether to use colors in logs or not (on by default)
+
+*   Added support for timestamp with time zone in PostgreSQL #560 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Added MultiparameterAssignmentErrors and AttributeAssignmentError exceptions #777 [demetrius]. Documentation:
+
+     * +MultiparameterAssignmentErrors+ -- collection of errors that occurred during a mass assignment using the
+         +attributes=+ method. The +errors+ property of this exception contains an array of +AttributeAssignmentError+
+         objects that should be inspected to determine which attributes triggered the errors.
+     * +AttributeAssignmentError+ -- an error occurred while doing a mass assignment through the +attributes=+ method.
+         You can inspect the +attribute+ property of the exception object to determine which attribute triggered the error.
+
+*   Fixed that postgresql adapter would fails when reading bytea fields with null value #771 *rodrigo k*
+
+*   Added transactional fixtures that uses rollback to undo changes to fixtures instead of DELETE/INSERT -- it's much faster. See documentation under Fixtures #760 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added destruction of dependent objects in has_one associations when a new assignment happens #742 [mindel]. Example:
+
+        class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_one :credit_card, :dependent => true
+        end
+        class CreditCard < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :account
+        end
+
+        account.credit_card # => returns existing credit card, lets say id = 12
+        account.credit_card = CreditCard.create("number" => "123")
+        account.save # => CC with id = 12 is destroyed
+
+
+*   Added validates_numericality_of #716 [Sebastian Kanthak/Chris McGrath]. Docuemntation:
+
+        Validates whether the value of the specified attribute is numeric by trying to convert it to
+        a float with Kernel.Float (if <tt>integer</tt> is false) or applying it to the regular expression
+        <tt>/^[\+\-]?\d+$/</tt> (if <tt>integer</tt> is set to true).
+
+          class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+            validates_numericality_of :value, :on => :create
+          end
+
+        Configuration options:
+        * <tt>message</tt> - A custom error message (default is: "is not a number")
+        * <tt>on</tt> Specifies when this validation is active (default is :save, other options :create, :update)
+        * <tt>only_integer</tt> Specifies whether the value has to be an integer, e.g. an integral value (default is false)
+
+
+*   Fixed that HasManyAssociation#count was using :finder_sql rather than :counter_sql if it was available #445 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Added better defaults for composed_of, so statements like composed_of :time_zone, :mapping => %w( time_zone time_zone ) can be written without the mapping part (it's now assumed)
+
+*   Added MacroReflection#macro which will return a symbol describing the macro used (like :composed_of or :has_many) #718, #248 *james@slashetc.com*
+
+
+## 1.7.0 (24th February, 2005) ##
+
+*   Changed the auto-timestamping feature to use ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone instead of entertaining the parallel ActiveRecord::Base.timestamps_gmt method. The latter is now deprecated and will throw a warning on use (but still work) #710 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added a OCI8-based Oracle adapter that has been verified to work with Oracle 8 and 9 #629 [Graham Jenkins]. Usage notes:
+
+        1.  Key generation uses a sequence "rails_sequence" for all tables. (I couldn't find a simple
+            and safe way of passing table-specific sequence information to the adapter.)
+        2.  Oracle uses DATE or TIMESTAMP datatypes for both dates and times. Consequently I have had to
+            resort to some hacks to get data converted to Date or Time in Ruby.
+            If the column_name ends in _at (like created_at, updated_at) it's created as a Ruby Time. Else if the
+            hours/minutes/seconds are 0, I make it a Ruby Date. Else it's a Ruby Time.
+            This is nasty - but if you use Duck Typing you'll probably not care very much.
+            In 9i it's tempting to map DATE to Date and TIMESTAMP to Time but I don't think that is
+            valid - too many databases use DATE for both.
+            Timezones and sub-second precision on timestamps are not supported.
+        3.  Default values that are functions (such as "SYSDATE") are not supported. This is a
+            restriction of the way active record supports default values.
+        4.  Referential integrity constraints are not fully supported. Under at least
+            some circumstances, active record appears to delete parent and child records out of
+            sequence and out of transaction scope. (Or this may just be a problem of test setup.)
+
+    The OCI8 driver can be retrieved from http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/
+
+*   Added option :schema_order to the PostgreSQL adapter to support the use of multiple schemas per database #697 *YuriSchimke*
+
+*   Optimized the SQL used to generate has_and_belongs_to_many queries by listing the join table first #693 *yerejm*
+
+*   Fixed that when using validation macros with a custom message, if you happened to use single quotes in the message string you would get a parsing error #657 *tonka*
+
+*   Fixed that Active Record would throw Broken Pipe errors with FCGI when the MySQL connection timed out instead of reconnecting #428 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added options to specify an SSL connection for MySQL. Define the following attributes in the connection config (config/database.yml in Rails) to use it: sslkey, sslcert, sslca, sslcapath, sslcipher. To use SSL with no client certs, just set :sslca = '/dev/null'. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/secure-connections.html #604 *daniel@nightrunner.com*
+
+*   Added automatic dropping/creating of test tables for running the unit tests on all databases #587 *adelle@bullet.net.au*
+
+*   Fixed that find_by_* would fail when column names had numbers #670 *demetrius*
+
+*   Fixed the SQL Server adapter on a bunch of issues #667 *DeLynn*
+
+        1. Created a new columns method that is much cleaner.
+        2. Corrected a problem with the select and select_all methods
+           that didn't account for the LIMIT clause being passed into raw SQL statements.
+        3. Implemented the string_to_time method in order to create proper instances of the time class.
+        4. Added logic to the simplified_type method that allows the database to specify the scale of float data.
+        5. Adjusted the quote_column_name to account for the fact that MS SQL is bothered by a forward slash in the data string.
+
+*   Fixed that the dynamic finder like find_all_by_something_boolean(false) didn't work #649 *lmarlow*
+
+*   Added validates_each that validates each specified attribute against a block #610 [Jeremy Kemper]. Example:
+
+        class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+          validates_each :first_name, :last_name do |record, attr|
+            record.errors.add attr, 'starts with z.' if attr[0] == ?z
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Added :allow_nil as an explicit option for validates_length_of, so unless that's set to true having the attribute as nil will also return an error if a range is specified as :within #610 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added that validates_* now accept blocks to perform validations #618 [Tim Bates]. Example:
+
+        class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+          validate { |person| person.errors.add("title", "will never be valid") if SHOULD_NEVER_BE_VALID }
+        end
+
+*   Addded validation for validate all the associated objects before declaring failure with validates_associated #618 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Added keyword-style approach to defining the custom relational bindings #545 [Jamis Buck]. Example:
+
+        class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
+          primary_key "sysid"
+          table_name "XYZ_PROJECT"
+          inheritance_column { original_inheritance_column + "_id" }
+        end
+
+*   Fixed Base#clone for use with PostgreSQL #565 *hanson@surgery.wisc.edu*
+
+
+## 1.6.0 (January 25th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added that has_many association build and create methods can take arrays of record data like Base#create and Base#build to build/create multiple records at once.
+
+*   Added that Base#delete and Base#destroy both can take an array of ids to delete/destroy #336
+
+*   Added the option of supplying an array of attributes to Base#create, so that multiple records can be created at once.
+
+*   Added the option of supplying an array of ids and attributes to Base#update, so that multiple records can be updated at once (inspired by #526/Duane Johnson). Example
+
+        people = { 1 => { "first_name" => "David" }, 2 => { "first_name" => "Jeremy"} }
+        Person.update(people.keys, people.values)
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base.timestamps_gmt that can be set to true to make the automated timestamping use GMT instead of local time #520 *Scott Baron*
+
+*   Added that update_all calls sanitize_sql on its updates argument, so stuff like MyRecord.update_all(['time = ?', Time.now]) works #519 *notahat*
+
+*   Fixed that the dynamic finders didn't treat nil as a "IS NULL" but rather "= NULL" case #515 *Demetrius*
+
+*   Added bind-named arrays for interpolating a group of ids or strings in conditions #528 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added that has_and_belongs_to_many associations with additional attributes also can be created between unsaved objects and only committed to the database when Base#save is called on the associator #524 *Eric Anderson*
+
+*   Fixed that records fetched with piggy-back attributes or through rich has_and_belongs_to_many associations couldn't be saved due to the extra attributes not part of the table #522 *Eric Anderson*
+
+*   Added mass-assignment protection for the inheritance column -- regardless of a custom column is used or not
+
+*   Fixed that association proxies would fail === tests like PremiumSubscription === @account.subscription
+
+*   Fixed that column aliases didn't work as expected with the new MySql411 driver #507 *Demetrius*
+
+*   Fixed that find_all would produce invalid sql when called sequentialy #490 *Scott Baron*
+
+
+## 1.5.1 (January 18th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that the belongs_to and has_one proxy would fail a test like 'if project.manager' -- this unfortunately also means that you can't call methods like project.manager.build unless there already is a manager on the project #492 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Fixed that the Ruby/MySQL adapter wouldn't connect if the password was empty #503 *Pelle*
+
+
+## 1.5.0 (January 17th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that unit tests for MySQL are now run as the "rails" user instead of root #455 *Eric Hodel*
+
+*   Added validates_associated that enables validation of objects in an unsaved association #398 [Tim Bates]. Example:
+
+        class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :pages
+          belongs_to :library
+
+          validates_associated :pages, :library
+        end
+
+*   Added support for associating unsaved objects #402 [Tim Bates]. Rules that govern this addition:
+
+        == Unsaved objects and associations
+
+        You can manipulate objects and associations before they are saved to the database, but there is some special behaviour you should be
+        aware of, mostly involving the saving of associated objects.
+
+        === One-to-one associations
+
+        * Assigning an object to a has_one association automatically saves that object, and the object being replaced (if there is one), in
+          order to update their primary keys - except if the parent object is unsaved (new_record? == true).
+        * If either of these saves fail (due to one of the objects being invalid) the assignment statement returns false and the assignment
+          is cancelled.
+        * If you wish to assign an object to a has_one association without saving it, use the #association.build method (documented below).
+        * Assigning an object to a belongs_to association does not save the object, since the foreign key field belongs on the parent. It does
+          not save the parent either.
+
+        === Collections
+
+        * Adding an object to a collection (has_many or has_and_belongs_to_many) automatically saves that object, except if the parent object
+          (the owner of the collection) is not yet stored in the database.
+        * If saving any of the objects being added to a collection (via #push or similar) fails, then #push returns false.
+        * You can add an object to a collection without automatically saving it by using the #collection.build method (documented below).
+        * All unsaved (new_record? == true) members of the collection are automatically saved when the parent is saved.
+
+*   Added replace to associations, so you can do project.manager.replace(new_manager) or project.milestones.replace(new_milestones) #402 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Added build and create methods to has_one and belongs_to associations, so you can now do project.manager.build(attributes) #402 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Added that if a before_* callback returns false, all the later callbacks and the associated action are cancelled. If an after_* callback returns false, all the later callbacks are cancelled. Callbacks are generally run in the order they are defined, with the exception of callbacks defined as methods on the model, which are called last. #402 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Fixed that Base#== wouldn't work for multiple references to the same unsaved object #402 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Fixed binary support for PostgreSQL #444 *alex@byzantine.no*
+
+*   Added a differenciation between AssociationCollection#size and -length. Now AssociationCollection#size returns the size of the
+    collection by executing a SELECT COUNT(*) query if the collection hasn't been loaded and calling collection.size if it has. If
+    it's more likely than not that the collection does have a size larger than zero and you need to fetch that collection afterwards,
+    it'll take one less SELECT query if you use length.
+
+*   Added Base#attributes that returns a hash of all the attributes with their names as keys and clones of their objects as values #433 *atyp.de*
+
+*   Fixed that foreign keys named the same as the association would cause stack overflow #437 *Eric Anderson*
+
+*   Fixed default scope of acts_as_list from "1" to "1 = 1", so it'll work in PostgreSQL (among other places) #427 *Alexey*
+
+*   Added Base#reload that reloads the attributes of an object from the database #422 *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Added SQLite3 compatibility through the sqlite3-ruby adapter by Jamis Buck #381 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added support for the new protocol spoken by MySQL 4.1.1+ servers for the Ruby/MySQL adapter that ships with Rails #440 *Matt Mower*
+
+*   Added that Observers can use the observes class method instead of overwriting self.observed_class().
+
+        Before:
+          class ListSweeper < ActiveRecord::Base
+            def self.observed_class() [ List, Item ]
+          end
+
+        After:
+          class ListSweeper < ActiveRecord::Base
+            observes List, Item
+          end
+
+*   Fixed that conditions in has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many should be interpolated just like the finder_sql is
+
+*   Fixed Base#update_attribute to be indifferent to whether a string or symbol is used to describe the name
+
+*   Added Base#toggle(attribute) and Base#toggle!(attribute) that makes it easier to flip a switch or flag.
+
+        Before: topic.update_attribute(:approved, !approved?)
+        After : topic.toggle!(:approved)
+
+*   Added Base#increment!(attribute) and Base#decrement!(attribute) that also saves the records. Example:
+
+        page.views # => 1
+        page.increment!(:views) # executes an UPDATE statement
+        page.views # => 2
+
+        page.increment(:views).increment!(:views)
+        page.views # => 4
+
+*   Added Base#increment(attribute) and Base#decrement(attribute) that encapsulates the += 1 and -= 1 patterns.
+
+
+
+
+## 1.14.2 (April 9th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed calculations for the Oracle Adapter (closes #4626) *Michael Schoen*
+
+
+## 1.14.1 (April 6th, 2006) ##
+
+*   Fix type_name_with_module to handle type names that begin with '::'. Closes #4614. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed that that multiparameter assignment doesn't work with aggregations (closes #4620) *Lars Pind*
+
+*   Enable Limit/Offset in Calculations (closes #4558) *lmarlow*
+
+*   Fixed that loading including associations returns all results if Load IDs For Limited Eager Loading returns none (closes #4528) *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed HasManyAssociation#find bugs when :finder_sql is set #4600 *lagroue@free.fr*
+
+*   Allow AR::Base#respond_to? to behave when @attributes is nil *Ryan Davis*
+
+*   Support eager includes when going through a polymorphic has_many association. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added support for eagerly including polymorphic has_one associations. (closes #4525) *Rick Olson*
+
+        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_one :tagging, :as => :taggable
+        end
+
+        Post.find :all, :include => :tagging
+
+*   Added descriptive error messages for invalid has_many :through associations: going through :has_one or :has_and_belongs_to_many *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added support for going through a polymorphic has_many association: (closes #4401) *Rick Olson*
+
+        class PhotoCollection < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :photos, :as => :photographic
+          belongs_to :firm
+        end
+
+        class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :photo_collections
+          has_many :photos, :through => :photo_collections
+        end
+
+*   Multiple fixes and optimizations in PostgreSQL adapter, allowing ruby-postgres gem to work properly. *ruben.nine@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed that AssociationCollection#delete_all should work even if the records of the association are not loaded yet. *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Changed those private ActiveRecord methods to take optional third argument :auto instead of nil for performance optimizations.  (closes #4456) *Stefan*
+
+*   Private ActiveRecord methods add_limit!, add_joins!, and add_conditions! take an OPTIONAL third argument 'scope' (closes #4456) *Rick Olson*
+
+*   DEPRECATED: Using additional attributes on has_and_belongs_to_many associations. Instead upgrade your association to be a real join model *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that records returned from has_and_belongs_to_many associations with additional attributes should be marked as read only (fixes #4512) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Do not implicitly mark recordss of has_many :through as readonly but do mark habtm records as readonly (eventually only on join tables without rich attributes). *Marcel Mollina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed broken OCIAdapter #4457 *Michael Schoen*
+
+
+## 1.14.0 (March 27th, 2006) ##
+
+*   Replace 'rescue Object' with a finer grained rescue. Closes #4431. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed eager loading so that an aliased table cannot clash with a has_and_belongs_to_many join table *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Add support for :include to with_scope *andrew@redlinesoftware.com*
+
+*   Support the use of public synonyms with the Oracle adapter; required ruby-oci8 v0.1.14 #4390 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Change periods (.) in table aliases to _'s.  Closes #4251 *jeff@ministrycentered.com*
+
+*   Changed has_and_belongs_to_many join to INNER JOIN for Mysql 3.23.x.  Closes #4348 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed issue that kept :select options from being scoped *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed db_schema_import when binary types are present #3101 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that MySQL enums should always be returned as strings #3501 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Change has_many :through to use the :source option to specify the source association.  :class_name is now ignored. *Rick Olson*
+
+        class Connection < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :user
+          belongs_to :channel
+        end
+
+        class Channel < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :connections
+          has_many :contacts, :through => :connections, :class_name => 'User' # OLD
+          has_many :contacts, :through => :connections, :source => :user      # NEW
+        end
+
+*   Fixed DB2 adapter so nullable columns will be determines correctly now and quotes from column default values will be removed #4350 *contact@maik-schmidt.de*
+
+*   Allow overriding of find parameters in scoped has_many :through calls *Rick Olson*
+
+    In this example, :include => false disables the default eager association from loading.  :select changes the standard
+    select clause.  :joins specifies a join that is added to the end of the has_many :through query.
+
+        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :tags, :through => :taggings, :include => :tagging do
+            def add_joins_and_select
+              find :all, :select => 'tags.*, authors.id as author_id', :include => false,
+                :joins => 'left outer join posts on taggings.taggable_id = posts.id left outer join authors on posts.author_id = authors.id'
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Fixed that schema changes while the database was open would break any connections to an SQLite database (now we reconnect if that error is throw) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Don't classify the has_one class when eager loading, it is already singular. Add tests. (closes #4117) *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Quit ignoring default :include options in has_many :through calls *Mark James*
+
+*   Allow has_many :through associations to find the source association by setting a custom class (closes #4307) *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Eager Loading support added for has_many :through => :has_many associations (see below).  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Allow has_many :through to work on has_many associations (closes #3864) [sco@scottraymond.net]  Example:
+
+        class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :clients
+          has_many :invoices, :through => :clients
+        end
+
+        class Client < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :firm
+          has_many   :invoices
+        end
+
+        class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :client
+        end
+
+*   Raise error when trying to select many polymorphic objects with has_many :through or :include (closes #4226) *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Fixed has_many :through to include :conditions set on the :through association. closes #4020 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Fix that has_many :through honors the foreign key set by the belongs_to association in the join model (closes #4259) *andylien@gmail.com / Rick Olson*
+
+*   SQL Server adapter gets some love #4298 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Added OpenBase database adapter that builds on top of the http://www.spice-of-life.net/ruby-openbase/ driver. All functionality except LIMIT/OFFSET is supported #3528 *derrickspell@cdmplus.com*
+
+*   Rework table aliasing to account for truncated table aliases.  Add smarter table aliasing when doing eager loading of STI associations. This allows you to use the association name in the order/where clause. [Jonathan Viney / Rick Olson] #4108 Example (SpecialComment is using STI):
+
+        Author.find(:all, :include => { :posts => :special_comments }, :order => 'special_comments.body')
+
+*   Add AbstractAdapter#table_alias_for to create table aliases according to the rules of the current adapter. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Provide access to the underlying database connection through Adapter#raw_connection. Enables the use of db-specific methods without complicating the adapters. #2090 *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Remove broken attempts at handling columns with a default of 'now()' in the postgresql adapter. #2257 *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added connection#current_database that'll return of the current database (only works in MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle so far -- please help implement for the rest of the adapters) #3663 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   Fixed that Migration#execute would have the table name prefix appended to its query #4110 *mark.imbriaco@pobox.com*
+
+*   Make all tinyint(1) variants act like boolean in mysql (tinyint(1) unsigned, etc.) *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Use association's :conditions when eager loading. [Jeremy Evans] #4144
+
+*   Alias the has_and_belongs_to_many join table on eager includes. #4106 *Jeremy Evans*
+
+    This statement would normally error because the projects_developers table is joined twice, and therefore joined_on would be ambiguous.
+
+        Developer.find(:all, :include => {:projects => :developers}, :conditions => 'join_project_developers.joined_on IS NOT NULL')
+
+*   Oracle adapter gets some love #4230 *Michael Schoen*
+
+        * Changes :text to CLOB rather than BLOB [Moses Hohman]
+        * Fixes an issue with nil numeric length/scales (several)
+        * Implements support for XMLTYPE columns [wilig / Kubo Takehiro]
+        * Tweaks a unit test to get it all green again
+        * Adds support for #current_database
+
+*   Added Base.abstract_class? that marks which classes are not part of the Active Record hierarchy #3704 *Rick Olson*
+
+        class CachedModel < ActiveRecord::Base
+          self.abstract_class = true
+        end
+
+        class Post < CachedModel
+        end
+
+        CachedModel.abstract_class?
+        => true
+
+        Post.abstract_class?
+        => false
+
+        Post.base_class
+        => Post
+
+        Post.table_name
+        => 'posts'
+
+*   Allow :dependent options to be used with polymorphic joins. #3820 *Rick Olson*
+
+        class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :attachments, :as => :attachable, :dependent => :delete_all
+        end
+
+*   Nicer error message on has_many :through when :through reflection can not be found. #4042 *court3nay*
+
+*   Upgrade to Transaction::Simple 1.3 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Catch FixtureClassNotFound when using instantiated fixtures on a fixture that has no ActiveRecord model *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Allow ordering of calculated results and/or grouped fields in calculations *solo@gatelys.com*
+
+*   Make ActiveRecord::Base#save! return true instead of nil on success.  #4173 *johan@johansorensen.com*
+
+*   Dynamically set allow_concurrency.  #4044 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Added Base#to_xml that'll turn the current record into a XML representation [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        topic.to_xml
+
+    ...returns:
+
+        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

+
+*   Allow :counter_cache to take a column name for custom counter cache columns *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Documentation fixes for :dependent *robby@planetargon.com*
+
+*   Stop the MySQL adapter crashing when views are present. #3782 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Don't classify the belongs_to class, it is already singular #4117 *keithm@infused.org*
+
+*   Allow set_fixture_class to take Classes instead of strings for a class in a module.  Raise FixtureClassNotFound if a fixture can't load.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix quoting of inheritance column for STI eager loading #4098 *Jonathan Viney <jonathan@bluewire.net.nz>*
+
+*   Added smarter table aliasing for eager associations for multiple self joins #3580 *Rick Olson*
+
+        * The first time a table is referenced in a join, no alias is used.
+        * After that, the parent class name and the reflection name are used.
+
+            Tree.find(:all, :include => :children) # LEFT OUTER JOIN trees AS tree_children ...
+
+        * Any additional join references get a numerical suffix like '_2', '_3', etc.
+
+*   Fixed eager loading problems with single-table inheritance #3580 [Rick Olson]. Post.find(:all, :include => :special_comments) now returns all posts, and any special comments that the posts may have. And made STI work with has_many :through and polymorphic belongs_to.
+
+*   Added cascading eager loading that allows for queries like Author.find(:all, :include=> { :posts=> :comments }), which will fetch all authors, their posts, and the comments belonging to those posts in a single query (using LEFT OUTER JOIN) #3913 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:
+
+        # cascaded in two levels
+        >> Author.find(:all, :include=>{:posts=>:comments})
+        => authors
+             +- posts
+                  +- comments
+
+        # cascaded in two levels and normal association
+        >> Author.find(:all, :include=>[{:posts=>:comments}, :categorizations])
+        => authors
+             +- posts
+                  +- comments
+             +- categorizations
+
+        # cascaded in two levels with two has_many associations
+        >> Author.find(:all, :include=>{:posts=>[:comments, :categorizations]})
+        => authors
+             +- posts
+                  +- comments
+                  +- categorizations
+
+        # cascaded in three levels
+        >> Company.find(:all, :include=>{:groups=>{:members=>{:favorites}}})
+        => companies
+             +- groups
+                  +- members
+                       +- favorites
+
+*   Make counter cache work when replacing an association #3245 *eugenol@gmail.com*
+
+*   Make migrations verbose *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Make counter_cache work with polymorphic belongs_to *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fixed that calling HasOneProxy#build_model repeatedly would cause saving to happen #4058 *anna@wota.jp*
+
+*   Added Sybase database adapter that relies on the Sybase Open Client bindings (see http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/sybase-ctlib) #3765 [John Sheets]. It's almost completely Active Record compliant (including migrations), but has the following caveats:
+
+        * Does not support DATE SQL column types; use DATETIME instead.
+        * Date columns on HABTM join tables are returned as String, not Time.
+        * Insertions are potentially broken for :polymorphic join tables
+        * BLOB column access not yet fully supported
+
+*   Clear stale, cached connections left behind by defunct threads. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   CHANGED DEFAULT: set ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency to false.  Most AR usage is in single-threaded applications. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Renamed the "oci" adapter to "oracle", but kept the old name as an alias #4017 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Fixed that Base.save should always return false if the save didn't succeed, including if it has halted by before_save's #1861, #2477 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Speed up class -> connection caching and stale connection verification.  #3979 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Add set_fixture_class to allow the use of table name accessors with models which use set_table_name. *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Added that fixtures to placed in subdirectories of the main fixture files are also loaded #3937 *dblack@wobblini.net*
+
+*   Define attribute query methods to avoid method_missing calls. #3677 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   ActiveRecord::Base.remove_connection explicitly closes database connections and doesn't corrupt the connection cache. Introducing the disconnect! instance method for the PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server adapters; implementations for the others are welcome.  #3591 *Simon Stapleton, Tom Ward*
+
+*   Added support for nested scopes #3407 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:
+
+        Developer.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => "salary > 10000", :limit => 10 }) do
+          Developer.find(:all)     # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (salary > 10000) LIMIT 10
+
+          # inner rule is used. (all previous parameters are ignored)
+          Developer.with_exclusive_scope(:find => { :conditions => "name = 'Jamis'" }) do
+            Developer.find(:all)   # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (name = 'Jamis')
+          end
+
+          # parameters are merged
+          Developer.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => "name = 'Jamis'" }) do
+            Developer.find(:all)   # => SELECT * FROM developers WHERE (( salary > 10000 ) AND ( name = 'Jamis' )) LIMIT 10
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Fixed db2 connection with empty user_name and auth options #3622 *phurley@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed validates_length_of to work on UTF-8 strings by using characters instead of bytes #3699 *Masao Mutoh*
+
+*   Fixed that reflections would bleed across class boundaries in single-table inheritance setups #3796 *Lars Pind*
+
+*   Added calculations: Base.count, Base.average, Base.sum, Base.minimum, Base.maxmium, and the generic Base.calculate. All can be used with :group and :having. Calculations and statitics need no longer require custom SQL. #3958 [Rick Olson]. Examples:
+
+        Person.average :age
+        Person.minimum :age
+        Person.maximum :age
+        Person.sum :salary, :group => :last_name
+
+*   Renamed Errors#count to Errors#size but kept an alias for the old name (and included an alias for length too) #3920 *Luke Redpath*
+
+*   Reflections don't attempt to resolve module nesting of association classes. Simplify type computation. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Improved the Oracle OCI Adapter with better performance for column reflection (from #3210), fixes to migrations (from #3476 and #3742), tweaks to unit tests (from #3610), and improved documentation (from #2446) #3879 *Aggregated by schoenm@earthlink.net*
+
+*   Fixed that the schema_info table used by ActiveRecord::Schema.define should respect table pre- and suffixes #3834 *rubyonrails@atyp.de*
+
+*   Added :select option to Base.count that'll allow you to select something else than * to be counted on. Especially important for count queries using DISTINCT #3839 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Correct syntax error in mysql DDL,  and make AAACreateTablesTest run first *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Allow :include to be used with has_many :through associations #3611 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: smarter schema dumps using pk_and_sequence_for(table).  #2920 *Blair Zajac*
+
+*   SQLServer: more compatible limit/offset emulation.  #3779 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   Polymorphic join support for has_one associations (has_one :foo, :as => :bar)  #3785 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: correctly parse negative integer column defaults.  #3776 *bellis@deepthought.org*
+
+*   Fix problems with count when used with :include *Jeremy Hopple and Kevin Clark*
+
+*   ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid now states which validations failed in its default error message *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Using AssociationCollection#build with arrays of hashes should call build, not create *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Remove definition of reloadable? from ActiveRecord::Base to make way for new Reloadable code. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed schema handling for DB2 adapter that didn't work: an initial schema could be set, but it wasn't used when getting tables and indexes #3678 *Maik Schmidt*
+
+*   Support the :column option for remove_index with the PostgreSQL adapter. #3661 *Shugo Maeda*
+
+*   Add documentation for add_index and remove_index. #3600 *Manfred Stienstra <m.stienstra@fngtps.com>*
+
+*   If the OCI library is not available, raise an exception indicating as much. #3593 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Add explicit :order in finder tests as postgresql orders results differently by default. #3577. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Make dynamic finders honor additional passed in :conditions. #3569 *Oleg Pudeyev <pudeyo@rpi.edu>, Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Show a meaningful error when the DB2 adapter cannot be loaded due to missing dependencies. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Make .count work for has_many associations with multi line finder sql *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Add AR::Base.base_class for querying the ancestor AR::Base subclass *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Allow configuration of the column used for optimistic locking *wilsonb@gmail.com*
+
+*   Don't hardcode 'id' in acts as list.  *ror@philippeapril.com*
+
+*   Fix date errors for SQLServer in association tests. #3406 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Escape database name in MySQL adapter when creating and dropping databases. #3409 *anna@wota.jp*
+
+*   Disambiguate table names for columns in validates_uniqueness_of's WHERE clause. #3423 *alex.borovsky@gmail.com*
+
+*   .with_scope imposed create parameters now bypass attr_protected *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Don't raise an exception when there are more keys than there are named bind variables when sanitizing conditions. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Multiple enhancements and adjustments to DB2 adaptor. #3377 *contact@maik-schmidt.de*
+
+*   Sanitize scoped conditions. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added option to Base.reflection_of_all_associations to specify a specific association to scope the call. For example Base.reflection_of_all_associations(:has_many) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper.ignore_tables which tells SchemaDumper which tables to ignore. Useful for tables with funky column like the ones required for tsearch2. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   SchemaDumper now doesn't fail anymore when there are unknown column types in the schema. Instead the table is ignored and a Comment is left in the schema.rb. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Fixed that saving a model with multiple habtm associations would only save the first one.  #3244 *yanowitz-rubyonrails@quantumfoam.org, Florian Weber*
+
+*   Fix change_column to work with PostgreSQL 7.x and 8.x.  #3141 *wejn@box.cz, Rick Olson, Scott Barron*
+
+*   removed :piggyback in favor of just allowing :select on :through associations. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   made method missing delegation to class methods on relation target work on :through associations. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   made .find() work on :through relations. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Fix typo in association docs. #3296. *Blair Zajac*
+
+*   Fixed :through relations when using STI inherited classes would use the inherited class's name as foreign key on the join model *Tobias Lütke*
+
+## 1.13.2 (December 13th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Become part of Rails 1.0
+
+*   MySQL: allow encoding option for mysql.rb driver.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added option inheritance for find calls on has_and_belongs_to_many and has_many assosociations [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        class Post
+          has_many :recent_comments, :class_name => "Comment", :limit => 10, :include => :author
+        end
+
+        post.recent_comments.find(:all) # Uses LIMIT 10 and includes authors
+        post.recent_comments.find(:all, :limit => nil) # Uses no limit but include authors
+        post.recent_comments.find(:all, :limit => nil, :include => nil) # Uses no limit and doesn't include authors
+
+*   Added option to specify :group, :limit, :offset, and :select options from find on has_and_belongs_to_many and has_many assosociations *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   MySQL: fixes for the bundled mysql.rb driver.  #3160 *Justin Forder*

+
+*   SQLServer: cope with columns with "desc" in the name.  #1950 *Ron Lusk, Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   SQLServer: cope with primary keys with "select" in the name.  #3057 *rdifrango@captechventures.com*
+
+*   Oracle: active? performs a select instead of a commit.  #3133 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   MySQL: more robust test for nullified result hashes.  #3124 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Reloading an instance refreshes its aggregations as well as its associations.  #3024 *François Beausoleil*
+
+*   Fixed that using :include together with :conditions array in Base.find would cause NoMethodError #2887 *Paul Hammmond*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: more robust sequence name discovery.  #3087 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Oracle: use syntax compatible with Oracle 8.  #3131 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   MySQL: work around ruby-mysql/mysql-ruby inconsistency with mysql.stat.  Eliminate usage of mysql.ping because it doesn't guarantee reconnect.  Explicitly close and reopen the connection instead.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added preliminary support for polymorphic associations *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added preliminary support for join models *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Allow validate_uniqueness_of to be scoped by more than just one column.  #1559. *jeremy@jthopple.com, Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Firebird: active? and reconnect! methods for handling stale connections.  #428 *Ken Kunz <kennethkunz@gmail.com>*
+
+*   Firebird: updated for FireRuby 0.4.0.  #3009 *Ken Kunz <kennethkunz@gmail.com>*
+
+*   MySQL and PostgreSQL: active? compatibility with the pure-Ruby driver.  #428 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Oracle: active? check pings the database rather than testing the last command status.  #428 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   SQLServer: resolve column aliasing/quoting collision when using limit or offset in an eager find.  #2974 *kajism@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Reloading a model doesn't lose track of its connection.  #2996 *junk@miriamtech.com, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed bug where using update_attribute after pushing a record to a habtm association of the object caused duplicate rows in the join table. #2888 *colman@rominato.com, Florian Weber, Michael Schoen*
+
+*   MySQL, PostgreSQL: reconnect! also reconfigures the connection.  Otherwise, the connection 'loses' its settings if it times out and is reconnected.  #2978 *Shugo Maeda*
+
+*   has_and_belongs_to_many: use JOIN instead of LEFT JOIN.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   MySQL: introduce :encoding option to specify the character set for client, connection, and results.  Only available for MySQL 4.1 and later with the mysql-ruby driver.  Do SHOW CHARACTER SET in mysql client to see available encodings.  #2975 *Shugo Maeda*

+
+*   Introducing the Firebird adapter.  Quote columns and use attribute_condition more consistently.  Setup guide: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Firebird+Adapter  #1874 *Ken Kunz <kennethkunz@gmail.com>*
+
+*   SQLServer: active? and reconnect! methods for handling stale connections.  #428 *kajism@yahoo.com, Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>*
+
+*   Associations handle case-equality more consistently: item.parts.is_a?(Array) and item.parts === Array.  #1345 *MarkusQ@reality.com*
+
+*   SQLServer: insert uses given primary key value if not nil rather than SELECT @@IDENTITY.  #2866 *kajism@yahoo.com, Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>*
+
+*   Oracle: active? and reconnect! methods for handling stale connections.  Optionally retry queries after reconnect.  #428 *Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>*
+
+*   Correct documentation for Base.delete_all.  #1568 *Newhydra*
+
+*   Oracle: test case for column default parsing.  #2788 *Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>*
+
+*   Update documentation for Migrations.  #2861 *Tom Werner <tom@cube6media.com>*
+
+*   When AbstractAdapter#log rescues an exception, attempt to detect and reconnect to an inactive database connection.  Connection adapter must respond to the active? and reconnect! instance methods.  Initial support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite.  Make certain that all statements which may need reconnection are performed within a logged block: for example, this means no avoiding log(sql, name) { } if @logger.nil?  #428 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Oracle: Much faster column reflection.  #2848 *Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>*
+
+*   Base.reset_sequence_name analogous to reset_table_name (mostly useful for testing).  Base.define_attr_method allows nil values.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: smarter sequence name defaults, stricter last_insert_id, warn on pk without sequence.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: correctly discover custom primary key sequences.  #2594 *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>, meadow.nnick@gmail.com, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   SQLServer: don't report limits for unsupported field types.  #2835 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Include the Enumerable module in ActiveRecord::Errors.  *Rick Bradley <rick@rickbradley.com>*
+
+*   Add :group option, correspond to GROUP BY, to the find method and to the has_many association.  #2818 *rubyonrails@atyp.de*
+
+*   Don't cast nil or empty strings to a dummy date.  #2789 *Rick Bradley <rick@rickbradley.com>*
+
+*   acts_as_list plays nicely with inheritance by remembering the class which declared it.  #2811 *rephorm@rephorm.com*
+
+*   Fix sqlite adaptor's detection of missing dbfile or database declaration. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed acts_as_list for definitions without an explicit :order #2803 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Upgrade bundled ruby-mysql 0.2.4 with mysql411 shim (see #440) to ruby-mysql 0.2.6 with a patchset for 4.1 protocol support.  Local change [301] is now a part of the main driver; reapplied local change [2182].  Removed GC.start from Result.free.  *tommy@tmtm.org, akuroda@gmail.com, Doug Fales <doug.fales@gmail.com>, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Correct handling of complex order clauses with SQL Server limit emulation.  #2770 *Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>, Matt B.*
+
+*   Correct whitespace problem in Oracle default column value parsing.  #2788 *rick@rickbradley.com*
+
+*   Destroy associated has_and_belongs_to_many records after all before_destroy callbacks but before destroy.  This allows you to act on the habtm association as you please while preserving referential integrity.  #2065 *larrywilliams1@gmail.com, sam.kirchmeier@gmail.com, elliot@townx.org, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Deprecate the old, confusing :exclusively_dependent option in favor of :dependent => :delete_all.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   More compatible Oracle column reflection.  #2771 *Ryan Davis <ryand-ruby@zenspider.com>, Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>*
+
+
+## 1.13.0 (November 7th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed faulty regex in get_table_name method (SQLServerAdapter) #2639 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Added :include as an option for association declarations [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        has_many :posts, :include => [ :author, :comments ]
+
+*   Rename Base.constrain to Base.with_scope so it doesn't conflict with existing concept of database constraints.  Make scoping more robust: uniform method => parameters, validated method names and supported finder parameters, raise exception on nested scopes.  [Jeremy Kemper]  Example:
+
+        Comment.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => 'active=true' }, :create => { :post_id => 5 }) do
+          # Find where name = ? and active=true
+          Comment.find :all, :conditions => ['name = ?', name]
+          # Create comment associated with :post_id
+          Comment.create :body => "Hello world"
+        end
+
+*   Fixed that SQL Server should ignore :size declarations on anything but integer and string in the agnostic schema representation #2756 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Added constrain scoping for creates using a hash of attributes bound to the :creation key [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        Comment.constrain(:creation => { :post_id => 5 }) do
+          # Associated with :post_id
+          Comment.create :body => "Hello world"
+        end
+
+    This is rarely used directly, but allows for find_or_create on associations. So you can do:
+
+        # If the tag doesn't exist, a new one is created that's associated with the person
+        person.tags.find_or_create_by_name("Summer")
+
+*   Added find_or_create_by_X as a second type of dynamic finder that'll create the record if it doesn't already exist [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        # No 'Summer' tag exists
+        Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.create(:name => "Summer")
+
+        # Now the 'Summer' tag does exist
+        Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.find_by_name("Summer")
+
+*   Added extension capabilities to has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many proxies [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+

+
+    Note that the anoymous module must be declared using brackets, not do/end (due to order of evaluation).
+
+*   Omit internal dtproperties table from SQLServer table list.  #2729 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Quote column names in generated SQL.  #2728 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Correct the pure-Ruby MySQL 4.1.1 shim's version test.  #2718 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add Model.create! to match existing model.save! method.  When save! raises RecordInvalid, you can catch the exception, retrieve the invalid record (invalid_exception.record), and see its errors (invalid_exception.record.errors).  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Correct fixture behavior when table name pluralization is off.  #2719 *Rick Bradley <rick@rickbradley.com>*
+
+*   Changed :dbfile to :database for SQLite adapter for consistency (old key still works as an alias) #2644 *Dan Peterson*
+
+*   Added migration support for Oracle #2647 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Worked around that connection can't be reset if allow_concurrency is off.  #2648 *Michael Schoen <schoenm@earthlink.net>*
+
+*   Fixed SQL Server adapter to pass even more tests and do even better #2634 *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Fixed SQL Server adapter so it honors options[:conditions] when applying :limits #1978 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   Added migration support to SQL Server adapter (please someone do the same for Oracle and DB2) #2625 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   Use AR::Base.silence rather than AR::Base.logger.silence in fixtures to preserve Log4r compatibility.  #2618 *dansketcher@gmail.com*
+
+*   Constraints are cloned so they can't be inadvertently modified while they're
+    in effect.  Added :readonly finder constraint.  Calling an association collection's class method (Part.foobar via item.parts.foobar) constrains :readonly => false since the collection's :joins constraint would otherwise force it to true.  [Jeremy Kemper <rails@bitsweat.net>]
+*   Added :offset and :limit to the kinds of options that Base.constrain can use #2466 *duane.johnson@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed handling of nil number columns on Oracle and cleaned up tests for Oracle in general #2555 *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Added quoted_true and quoted_false methods and tables to db2_adapter and cleaned up tests for DB2 #2493, #2624 *maik schmidt*
+
+
+## 1.12.2 (October 26th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Allow symbols to rename columns when using SQLite adapter. #2531 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Map Active Record time to SQL TIME.  #2575, #2576 *Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>*
+
+*   Clarify semantics of ActiveRecord::Base#respond_to?  #2560 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Fixed Association#clear for associations which have not yet been accessed. #2524 *Patrick Lenz <patrick@lenz.sh>*
+
+*   HABTM finders shouldn't return readonly records.  #2525 *Patrick Lenz <patrick@lenz.sh>*
+
+*   Make all tests runnable on their own. #2521. *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+
+## 1.12.1 (October 19th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Always parenthesize :conditions options so they may be safely combined with STI and constraints.
+
+*   Correct PostgreSQL primary key sequence detection.  #2507 *tmornini@infomania.com*
+
+*   Added support for using limits in eager loads that involve has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many associations
+
+
+## 1.12.0 (October 16th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Update/clean up documentation (rdoc)
+
+*   PostgreSQL sequence support.  Use set_sequence_name in your model class to specify its primary key sequence.  #2292 *Rick Olson <technoweenie@gmail.com>, Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>*
+
+*   Change default logging colors to work on both white and black backgrounds. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   YAML fixtures support ordered hashes for fixtures with foreign key dependencies in the same table.  #1896 *purestorm@ggnore.net*
+
+*   :dependent now accepts :nullify option. Sets the foreign key of the related objects to NULL instead of deleting them. #2015 *Robby Russell <robby@planetargon.com>*
+
+*   Introduce read-only records.  If you call object.readonly! then it will mark the object as read-only and raise ReadOnlyRecord if you call object.save.  object.readonly? reports whether the object is read-only.  Passing :readonly => true to any finder method will mark returned records as read-only.  The :joins option now implies :readonly, so if you use this option, saving the same record will now fail.  Use find_by_sql to work around.
+
+*   Avoid memleak in dev mode when using fcgi
+
+*   Simplified .clear on active record associations by using the existing delete_records method. #1906 *Caleb <me@cpb.ca>*
+
+*   Delegate access to a customized primary key to the conventional id method. #2444. *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   Fix errors caused by assigning a has-one or belongs-to property to itself
+
+*   Add ActiveRecord::Base.schema_format setting which specifies how databases should be dumped *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Update DB2 adapter. #2206. *contact@maik-schmidt.de*
+
+*   Corrections to SQLServer native data types. #2267.  *rails.20.clarry@spamgourmet.com*
+
+*   Deprecated ActiveRecord::Base.threaded_connection in favor of ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency.
+
+*   Protect id attribute from mass assigment even when the primary key is set to something else. #2438. *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   Misc doc fixes (typos/grammar/etc.). #2430. *coffee2code*
+
+*   Add test coverage for content_columns. #2432. *coffee2code*
+
+*   Speed up for unthreaded environments. #2431. *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Optimization for Mysql selects using mysql-ruby extension greater than 2.6.3.  #2426. *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Speed up the setting of table_name. #2428. *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Optimize instantiation of STI subclass records. In partial fullfilment of #1236. *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Fix typo of 'constrains' to 'contraints'. #2069. *Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>*
+
+*   Optimization refactoring for add_limit_offset!. In partial fullfilment of #1236. *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Add ability to get all siblings, including the current child, with acts_as_tree. Recloses #2140. *Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>*
+
+*   Add geometric type for postgresql adapter. #2233 *Andrew Kaspick*
+
+*   Add option (true by default) to generate reader methods for each attribute of a record to avoid the overhead of calling method missing. In partial fullfilment of #1236. *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Add convenience predicate methods on Column class. In partial fullfilment of #1236. *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Raise errors when invalid hash keys are passed to ActiveRecord::Base.find. #2363  *Chad Fowler <chad@chadfowler.com>, Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added :force option to create_table that'll try to drop the table if it already exists before creating
+
+*   Fix transactions so that calling return while inside a transaction will not leave an open transaction on the connection. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Use foreign_key inflection uniformly.  #2156 *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   model.association.clear should destroy associated objects if :dependent => true instead of nullifying their foreign keys.  #2221 *joergd@pobox.com, ObieFernandez <obiefernandez@gmail.com>*
+
+*   Returning false from before_destroy should cancel the action.  #1829 *Jeremy Huffman*
+
+*   Recognize PostgreSQL NOW() default as equivalent to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP or CURRENT_DATE, depending on the column's type.  #2256 *mat <mat@absolight.fr>*
+
+*   Extensive documentation for the abstract database adapter.  #2250 *François Beausoleil <fbeausoleil@ftml.net>*
+
+*   Clean up Fixtures.reset_sequences for PostgreSQL.  Handle tables with no rows and models with custom primary keys.  #2174, #2183 *jay@jay.fm, Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   Improve error message when nil is assigned to an attr which validates_size_of within a range.  #2022 *Manuel Holtgrewe <purestorm@ggnore.net>*
+
+*   Make update_attribute use the same writer method that update_attributes uses.
+    \#2237 [trevor@protocool.com]
+*   Make migrations honor table name prefixes and suffixes. #2298 *Jakob Skjerning, Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Correct and optimize PostgreSQL bytea escaping.  #1745, #1837 *dave@cherryville.org, ken@miriamtech.com, bellis@deepthought.org*
+
+*   Fixtures should only reset a PostgreSQL sequence if it corresponds to an integer primary key named id.  #1749 *chris@chrisbrinker.com*
+
+*   Standardize the interpretation of boolean columns in the Mysql and Sqlite adapters. (Use MysqlAdapter.emulate_booleans = false to disable this behavior)
+
+*   Added new symbol-driven approach to activating observers with Base#observers= [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        ActiveRecord::Base.observers = :cacher, :garbage_collector
+
+*   Added AbstractAdapter#select_value and AbstractAdapter#select_values as convenience methods for selecting single values, instead of hashes, of the first column in a SELECT #2283 *solo@gatelys.com*
+
+*   Wrap :conditions in parentheses to prevent problems with OR's #1871 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Allow the postgresql adapter to work with the SchemaDumper. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Add ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper for dumping a DB schema to a pure-ruby file, making it easier to consolidate large migration lists and port database schemas between databases. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fixed migrations for Windows when using more than 10 *David Naseby*
+
+*   Fixed that the create_x method from belongs_to wouldn't save the association properly #2042 *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Fixed saving a record with two unsaved belongs_to associations pointing to the same object #2023 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Improved migrations' behavior when the schema_info table is empty. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed that Observers didn't observe sub-classes #627 *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Fix eager loading error messages, allow :include to specify tables using strings or symbols. Closes #2222 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added check for RAILS_CONNECTION_ADAPTERS on startup and only load the connection adapters specified within if its present (available in Rails through config.connection_adapters using the new config) #1958 *skae*
+
+*   Fixed various problems with has_and_belongs_to_many when using customer finder_sql #2094 *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Added better exception error when unknown column types are used with migrations #1814 *François Beausoleil*
+
+*   Fixed "connection lost" issue with the bundled Ruby/MySQL driver (would kill the app after 8 hours of inactivity) #2163, #428 *kajism@yahoo.com*
+
+*   Fixed comparison of Active Record objects so two new objects are not equal #2099 *deberg*
+
+*   Fixed that the SQL Server adapter would sometimes return DBI::Timestamp objects instead of Time #2127 *Tom Ward*
+
+*   Added the instance methods #root and #ancestors on acts_as_tree and fixed siblings to not include the current node #2142, #2140 *coffee2code*
+
+*   Fixed that Active Record would call SHOW FIELDS twice (or more) for the same model when the cached results were available #1947 *sd@notso.net*
+
+*   Added log_level and use_silence parameter to ActiveRecord::Base.benchmark. The first controls at what level the benchmark statement will be logged (now as debug, instead of info) and the second that can be passed false to include all logging statements during the benchmark block/
+
+*   Make sure the schema_info table is created before querying the current version #1903
+
+*   Fixtures ignore table name prefix and suffix #1987 *Jakob Skjerning*
+
+*   Add documentation for index_type argument to add_index method for migrations #2005 *Blaine*
+
+*   Modify read_attribute to allow a symbol argument #2024 *Ken Kunz*
+
+*   Make destroy return self #1913 *Sebastian Kanthak*
+
+*   Fix typo in validations documentation #1938 *court3nay*
+
+*   Make acts_as_list work for insert_at(1) #1966 *hensleyl@papermountain.org*
+
+*   Fix typo in count_by_sql documentation #1969 *Alexey Verkhovsky*
+
+*   Allow add_column and create_table to specify NOT NULL #1712 *emptysands@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fix create_table so that id column is implicitly added *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Default sequence names for Oracle changed to #{table_name}_seq, which is the most commonly used standard. In addition, a new method ActiveRecord::Base#set_sequence_name allows the developer to set the sequence name per model. This is a non-backwards-compatible change -- anyone using the old-style "rails_sequence" will need to either create new sequences, or set: ActiveRecord::Base.set_sequence_name = "rails_sequence" #1798
+
+*   OCIAdapter now properly handles synonyms, which are commonly used to separate out the schema owner from the application user #1798
+
+*   Fixed the handling of camelCase columns names in Oracle #1798
+
+*   Implemented for OCI the Rakefile tasks of :clone_structure_to_test, :db_structure_dump, and :purge_test_database, which enable Oracle folks to enjoy all the agile goodness of Rails for testing. Note that the current implementation is fairly limited -- only tables and sequences are cloned, not constraints or indexes. A full clone in Oracle generally requires some manual effort, and is version-specific. Post 9i, Oracle recommends the use of the DBMS_METADATA package, though that approach requires editing of the physical characteristics generated #1798
+
+*   Fixed the handling of multiple blob columns in Oracle if one or more of them are null #1798
+
+*   Added support for calling constrained class methods on has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many collections #1764 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+        class Comment < AR:B
+          def self.search(q)
+            find(:all, :conditions => ["body = ?", q])
+          end
+        end
+
+        class Post < AR:B
+          has_many :comments
+        end
+
+        Post.find(1).comments.search('hi') # => SELECT * from comments WHERE post_id = 1 AND body = 'hi'
+
+    NOTICE: This patch changes the underlying SQL generated by has_and_belongs_to_many queries. If your relying on that, such as
+    by explicitly referencing the old t and j aliases, you'll need to update your code. Of course, you _shouldn't_ be relying on
+    details like that no less than you should be diving in to touch private variables. But just in case you do, consider yourself
+    noticed :)
+
+*   Added migration support for SQLite (using temporary tables to simulate ALTER TABLE) #1771 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Remove extra definition of supports_migrations? from abstract_adaptor.rb *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix acts_as_list so that moving next-to-last item to the bottom does not result in duplicate item positions
+
+*   Fixed incompatibility in DB2 adapter with the new limit/offset approach #1718 *Maik Schmidt*
+
+*   Added :select option to find which can specify a different value than the default *, like find(:all, :select => "first_name, last_name"), if you either only want to select part of the columns or exclude columns otherwise included from a join #1338 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+
+## 1.11.1 (11 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added support for limit and offset with eager loading of has_one and belongs_to associations. Using the options with has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many associations will now raise an ActiveRecord::ConfigurationError #1692 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed that assume_bottom_position (in acts_as_list) could be called on items already last in the list and they would move one position away from the list #1648 *tyler@kianta.com*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base.threaded_connections flag to turn off 1-connection per thread (required for thread safety). By default it's on, but WEBrick in Rails need it off #1685 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Correct reflected table name for singular associations.  #1688 *court3nay*
+
+*   Fixed optimistic locking with SQL Server #1660 *tom@popdog.net*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrate that can figure out whether to go up or down based on the target version and the current
+
+*   Added better error message for "packets out of order" #1630 *court3nay*
+
+*   Fixed first run of "rake migrate" on PostgreSQL by not expecting a return value on the id #1640
+
+
+## 1.11.0 (6 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that Yaml error message in fixtures hid the real error #1623 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Changed logging of SQL statements to use the DEBUG level instead of INFO
+
+*   Added new Migrations framework for describing schema transformations in a way that can be easily applied across multiple databases #1604 [Tobias Lütke] See documentation under ActiveRecord::Migration and the additional support in the Rails rakefile/generator.
+
+*   Added callback hooks to association collections #1549 [Florian Weber]. Example:
+
+        class Project
+          has_and_belongs_to_many :developers, :before_add => :evaluate_velocity
+
+          def evaluate_velocity(developer)
+            ...
+          end
+        end
+
+    ..raising an exception will cause the object not to be added (or removed, with before_remove).
+
+
+*   Fixed Base.content_columns call for SQL Server adapter #1450 *DeLynn Berry*
+
+*   Fixed Base#write_attribute to work with both symbols and strings #1190 *Paul Legato*
+
+*   Fixed that has_and_belongs_to_many didn't respect single table inheritance types #1081 *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Speed up ActiveRecord#method_missing for the common case (read_attribute).
+
+*   Only notify observers on after_find and after_initialize if these methods are defined on the model.  #1235 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Fixed that single-table inheritance sub-classes couldn't be used to limit the result set with eager loading #1215 *Chris McGrath*
+
+*   Fixed validates_numericality_of to work with overrided getter-method when :allow_nil is on #1316 *raidel@onemail.at*
+
+*   Added roots, root, and siblings to the batch of methods added by acts_as_tree #1541 *Michael Schuerig*
+
+*   Added support for limit/offset with the MS SQL Server driver so that pagination will now work #1569 *DeLynn Berry*
+
+*   Added support for ODBC connections to MS SQL Server so you can connect from a non-Windows machine #1569 *Mark Imbriaco/DeLynn Berry*
+
+*   Fixed that multiparameter posts ignored attr_protected #1532 *alec+rails@veryclever.net*
+
+*   Fixed problem with eager loading when using a has_and_belongs_to_many association using :association_foreign_key #1504 *flash@vanklinkenbergsoftware.nl*
+
+*   Fixed Base#find to honor the documentation on how :joins work and make them consistent with Base#count #1405 [pritchie@gmail.com]. What used to be:
+
+        Developer.find :all, :joins => 'developers_projects', :conditions => 'id=developer_id AND project_id=1'
+
+    ...should instead be:
+
+        Developer.find(
+          :all,
+          :joins => 'LEFT JOIN developers_projects ON developers.id = developers_projects.developer_id',
+          :conditions => 'project_id=1'
+        )
+
+*   Fixed that validations didn't respecting custom setting for too_short, too_long messages #1437 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed that clear_association_cache doesn't delete new associations on new records (so you can safely place new records in the session with Action Pack without having new associations wiped) #1494 *cluon*
+
+*   Fixed that calling Model.find([]) returns [] and doesn't throw an exception #1379
+
+*   Fixed that adding a record to a has_and_belongs_to collection would always save it -- now it only saves if its a new record #1203 *Alisdair McDiarmid*
+
+*   Fixed saving of in-memory association structures to happen as a after_create/after_update callback instead of after_save -- that way you can add new associations in after_create/after_update callbacks without getting them saved twice
+
+*   Allow any Enumerable, not just Array, to work as bind variables #1344 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added actual database-changing behavior to collection assigment for has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many #1425 [Sebastian Kanthak].
+    Example:
+
+        david.projects = [Project.find(1), Project.new("name" => "ActionWebSearch")]
+        david.save
+
+    If david.projects already contain the project with ID 1, this is left unchanged. Any other projects are dropped. And the new
+    project is saved when david.save is called.
+
+    Also included is a way to do assignments through IDs, which is perfect for checkbox updating, so you get to do:
+
+        david.project_ids = [1, 5, 7]
+
+*   Corrected typo in find SQL for has_and_belongs_to_many.  #1312 *ben@bensinclair.com*
+
+*   Fixed sanitized conditions for has_many finder method.  #1281 *jackc@hylesanderson.com, pragdave, Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Comprehensive PostgreSQL schema support.  Use the optional schema_search_path directive in database.yml to give a comma-separated list of schemas to search for your tables.  This allows you, for example, to have tables in a shared schema without having to use a custom table name.  See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/ddl-schemas.html to learn more.  #827 *dave@cherryville.org*
+
+*   Corrected @@configurations typo #1410 *david@ruppconsulting.com*
+
+*   Return PostgreSQL columns in the order they were declared #1374 *perlguy@gmail.com*
+
+*   Allow before/after update hooks to work on models using optimistic locking
+
+*   Eager loading of dependent has_one associations won't delete the association #1212
+
+*   Added a second parameter to the build and create method for has_one that controls whether the existing association should be replaced (which means nullifying its foreign key as well). By default this is true, but false can be passed to prevent it.
+
+*   Using transactional fixtures now causes the data to be loaded only once.
+
+*   Added fixture accessor methods that can be used when instantiated fixtures are disabled.
+
+        fixtures :web_sites
+
+        def test_something
+          assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", web_sites(:rubyonrails).name
+        end
+
+*   Added DoubleRenderError exception that'll be raised if render* is called twice #518 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed exceptions occuring after render has been called #1096 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   CHANGED: validates_presence_of now uses Errors#add_on_blank, which will make "  " fail the validation where it didn't before #1309
+
+*   Added Errors#add_on_blank which works like Errors#add_on_empty, but uses Object#blank? instead
+
+*   Added the :if option to all validations that can either use a block or a method pointer to determine whether the validation should be run or not. #1324 [Duane Johnson/jhosteny]. Examples:
+
+    Conditional validations such as the following are made possible:
+        validates_numericality_of :income, :if => :employed?
+
+    Conditional validations can also solve the salted login generator problem:
+        validates_confirmation_of :password, :if => :new_password?
+
+    Using blocks:
+        validates_presence_of :username, :if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 1 }
+
+*   Fixed use of construct_finder_sql when using :join #1288 *dwlt@dwlt.net*
+
+*   Fixed that :delete_sql in has_and_belongs_to_many associations couldn't access record properties #1299 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed that clone would break when an aggregate had the same name as one of its attributes #1307 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Changed that destroying an object will only freeze the attributes hash, which keeps the object from having attributes changed (as that wouldn't make sense), but allows for the querying of associations after it has been destroyed.
+
+*   Changed the callbacks such that observers are notified before the in-object callbacks are triggered. Without this change, it wasn't possible to act on the whole object in something like a before_destroy observer without having the objects own callbacks (like deleting associations) called first.
+
+*   Added option for passing an array to the find_all version of the dynamic finders and have it evaluated as an IN fragment. Example:
+
+        # SELECT * FROM topics WHERE title IN ('First', 'Second')
+        Topic.find_all_by_title(["First", "Second"])
+
+*   Added compatibility with camelCase column names for dynamic finders #533 *Dee Zsombor*
+
+*   Fixed extraneous comma in count() function that made it not work with joins #1156 *Jarkko Laine/Dee Zsombor*
+
+*   Fixed incompatibility with Base#find with an array of ids that would fail when using eager loading #1186 *Alisdair McDiarmid*
+
+*   Fixed that validate_length_of lost :on option when :within was specified #1195 *jhosteny@mac.com*
+
+*   Added encoding and min_messages options for PostgreSQL #1205 [Shugo Maeda]. Configuration example:
+
+        development:
+          adapter: postgresql
+          database: rails_development
+          host: localhost
+          username: postgres
+          password:
+          encoding: UTF8
+          min_messages: ERROR
+
+*   Fixed acts_as_list where deleting an item that was removed from the list would ruin the positioning of other list items #1197 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added validates_exclusion_of as a negative of validates_inclusion_of
+
+*   Optimized counting of has_many associations by setting the association to empty if the count is 0 so repeated calls doesn't trigger database calls
+
+
+## 1.10.1 (20th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed frivilous database queries being triggered with eager loading on empty associations and other things
+
+*   Fixed order of loading in eager associations
+
+*   Fixed stray comma when using eager loading and ordering together from has_many associations #1143
+
+
+## 1.10.0 (19th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added eager loading of associations as a way to solve the N+1 problem more gracefully without piggy-back queries. Example:
+
+        for post in Post.find(:all, :limit => 100)
+          puts "Post:            " + post.title
+          puts "Written by:      " + post.author.name
+          puts "Last comment on: " + post.comments.first.created_on
+        end
+
+    This used to generate 301 database queries if all 100 posts had both author and comments. It can now be written as:
+
+        for post in Post.find(:all, :limit => 100, :include => [ :author, :comments ])
+
+    ...and the number of database queries needed is now 1.
+
+*   Added new unified Base.find API and deprecated the use of find_first and find_all. See the documentation for Base.find. Examples:
+
+        Person.find(1, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
+        Person.find(1, 5, 6, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
+        Person.find(:first, :order => "created_on DESC", :offset => 5)
+        Person.find(:all, :conditions => [ "category IN (?)", categories], :limit => 50)
+        Person.find(:all, :offset => 10, :limit => 10)
+
+*   Added acts_as_nested_set #1000 [wschenk]. Introduction:
+
+        This acts provides Nested Set functionality.  Nested Set is similiar to Tree, but with
+        the added feature that you can select the children and all of it's descendants with
+        a single query.  A good use case for this is a threaded post system, where you want
+        to display every reply to a comment without multiple selects.
+
+*   Added Base.save! that attempts to save the record just like Base.save but will raise a RecordInvalid exception instead of returning false if the record is not valid *Dave Thomas*
+
+*   Fixed PostgreSQL usage of fixtures with regards to public schemas and table names with dots #962 *gnuman1@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed that fixtures were being deleted in the same order as inserts causing FK errors #890 *andrew.john.peters@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed loading of fixtures in to be in the right order (or PostgreSQL would bark) #1047 *stephenh@chase3000.com*
+
+*   Fixed page caching for non-vhost applications living underneath the root #1004 *Ben Schumacher*
+
+*   Fixes a problem with the SQL Adapter which was resulting in IDENTITY_INSERT not being set to ON when it should be #1104 *adelle*
+
+*   Added the option to specify the acceptance string in validates_acceptance_of #1106 *caleb@aei-tech.com*
+
+*   Added insert_at(position) to acts_as_list #1083 *DeLynnB*
+
+*   Removed the default order by id on has_and_belongs_to_many queries as it could kill performance on large sets (you can still specify by hand with :order)
+
+*   Fixed that Base.silence should restore the old logger level when done, not just set it to DEBUG #1084 *yon@milliped.com*
+
+*   Fixed boolean saving on Oracle #1093 *mparrish@pearware.org*
+
+*   Moved build_association and create_association for has_one and belongs_to out of deprecation as they work when the association is nil unlike association.build and association.create, which require the association to be already in place #864
+
+*   Added rollbacks of transactions if they're active as the dispatcher is killed gracefully (TERM signal) #1054 *Leon Bredt*
+
+*   Added quoting of column names for fixtures #997 *jcfischer@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fixed counter_sql when no records exist in database for PostgreSQL (would give error, not 0) #1039 *Caleb Tennis*
+
+*   Fixed that benchmarking times for rendering included db runtimes #987 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Fixed boolean queries for t/f fields in PostgreSQL #995 *dave@cherryville.org*
+
+*   Added that model.items.delete(child) will delete the child, not just set the foreign key to nil, if the child is dependent on the model #978 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed auto-stamping of dates (created_on/updated_on) for PostgreSQL #985 *dave@cherryville.org*
+
+*   Fixed Base.silence/benchmark to only log if a logger has been configured #986 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Added a join parameter as the third argument to Base.find_first and as the second to Base.count #426, #988 *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Fixed bug in Base#hash method that would treat records with the same string-based id as different *Dave Thomas*
+
+*   Renamed DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words_to_now to DateHelper#time_ago_in_words (old method name is still available as a deprecated alias)
+
+
+## 1.9.1 (27th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that Active Record objects with float attribute could not be cloned #808
+
+*   Fixed that MissingSourceFile's wasn't properly detected in production mode #925 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed that :counter_cache option would look for a line_items_count column for a LineItem object instead of lineitems_count
+
+*   Fixed that AR exists?() would explode on postgresql if the passed id did not match the PK type #900 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Fixed the MS SQL adapter to work with the new limit/offset approach and with binary data (still suffering from 7KB limit, though) #901 *delynnb*
+
+
+## 1.9.0 (22th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added adapter independent limit clause as a two-element array with the first being the limit, the second being the offset #795 [Sam Stephenson]. Example:
+
+        Developer.find_all nil, 'id ASC', 5      # return the first five developers
+        Developer.find_all nil, 'id ASC', [3, 8] # return three developers, starting from #8 and forward
+
+    This doesn't yet work with the DB2 or MS SQL adapters. Patches to make that happen are encouraged.
+
+*   Added alias_method :to_param, :id to Base, such that Active Record objects to be used as URL parameters in Action Pack automatically #812 *Nicholas Seckar/Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Improved the performance of the OCI8 adapter for Oracle #723 *pilx/gjenkins*
+
+*   Added type conversion before saving a record, so string-based values like "10.0" aren't left for the database to convert #820 *dave@cherryville.org*
+
+*   Added with additional settings for working with transactional fixtures and pre-loaded test databases #865 *mindel*
+
+*   Fixed acts_as_list to trigger remove_from_list on destroy after the fact, not before, so a unique position can be maintained #871 *Alisdair McDiarmid*
+
+*   Added the possibility of specifying fixtures in multiple calls #816 *kim@tinker.com*
+
+*   Added Base.exists?(id) that'll return true if an object of the class with the given id exists #854 *stian@grytoyr.net*
+
+*   Added optionally allow for nil or empty strings with validates_numericality_of #801 *Sebastian Kanthak*
+
+*   Fixed problem with using slashes in validates_format_of regular expressions #801 *Sebastian Kanthak*
+
+*   Fixed that SQLite3 exceptions are caught and reported properly #823 *yerejm*
+
+*   Added that all types of after_find/after_initialized callbacks are triggered if the explicit implementation is present, not only the explicit implementation itself
+
+*   Fixed that symbols can be used on attribute assignment, like page.emails.create(:subject => data.subject, :body => data.body)
+
+
+## 1.8.0 (7th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base.colorize_logging to control whether to use colors in logs or not (on by default)
+
+*   Added support for timestamp with time zone in PostgreSQL #560 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Added MultiparameterAssignmentErrors and AttributeAssignmentError exceptions #777 [demetrius]. Documentation:
+
+     * +MultiparameterAssignmentErrors+ -- collection of errors that occurred during a mass assignment using the
+         +attributes=+ method. The +errors+ property of this exception contains an array of +AttributeAssignmentError+
+         objects that should be inspected to determine which attributes triggered the errors.
+     * +AttributeAssignmentError+ -- an error occurred while doing a mass assignment through the +attributes=+ method.
+         You can inspect the +attribute+ property of the exception object to determine which attribute triggered the error.
+
+*   Fixed that postgresql adapter would fails when reading bytea fields with null value #771 *rodrigo k*
+
+*   Added transactional fixtures that uses rollback to undo changes to fixtures instead of DELETE/INSERT -- it's much faster. See documentation under Fixtures #760 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added destruction of dependent objects in has_one associations when a new assignment happens #742 [mindel]. Example:
+
+        class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_one :credit_card, :dependent => true
+        end
+        class CreditCard < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :account
+        end
+
+        account.credit_card # => returns existing credit card, lets say id = 12
+        account.credit_card = CreditCard.create("number" => "123")
+        account.save # => CC with id = 12 is destroyed
+
+
+*   Added validates_numericality_of #716 [Sebastian Kanthak/Chris McGrath]. Docuemntation:
+
+        Validates whether the value of the specified attribute is numeric by trying to convert it to
+        a float with Kernel.Float (if <tt>integer</tt> is false) or applying it to the regular expression
+        <tt>/^[\+\-]?\d+$/</tt> (if <tt>integer</tt> is set to true).
+
+          class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+            validates_numericality_of :value, :on => :create
+          end
+
+        Configuration options:
+        * <tt>message</tt> - A custom error message (default is: "is not a number")
+        * <tt>on</tt> Specifies when this validation is active (default is :save, other options :create, :update)
+        * <tt>only_integer</tt> Specifies whether the value has to be an integer, e.g. an integral value (default is false)
+
+
+*   Fixed that HasManyAssociation#count was using :finder_sql rather than :counter_sql if it was available #445 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Added better defaults for composed_of, so statements like composed_of :time_zone, :mapping => %w( time_zone time_zone ) can be written without the mapping part (it's now assumed)
+
+*   Added MacroReflection#macro which will return a symbol describing the macro used (like :composed_of or :has_many) #718, #248 *james@slashetc.com*
+
+
+## 1.7.0 (24th February, 2005) ##
+
+*   Changed the auto-timestamping feature to use ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone instead of entertaining the parallel ActiveRecord::Base.timestamps_gmt method. The latter is now deprecated and will throw a warning on use (but still work) #710 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added a OCI8-based Oracle adapter that has been verified to work with Oracle 8 and 9 #629 [Graham Jenkins]. Usage notes:
+
+        1.  Key generation uses a sequence "rails_sequence" for all tables. (I couldn't find a simple
+            and safe way of passing table-specific sequence information to the adapter.)
+        2.  Oracle uses DATE or TIMESTAMP datatypes for both dates and times. Consequently I have had to
+            resort to some hacks to get data converted to Date or Time in Ruby.
+            If the column_name ends in _at (like created_at, updated_at) it's created as a Ruby Time. Else if the
+            hours/minutes/seconds are 0, I make it a Ruby Date. Else it's a Ruby Time.
+            This is nasty - but if you use Duck Typing you'll probably not care very much.
+            In 9i it's tempting to map DATE to Date and TIMESTAMP to Time but I don't think that is
+            valid - too many databases use DATE for both.
+            Timezones and sub-second precision on timestamps are not supported.
+        3.  Default values that are functions (such as "SYSDATE") are not supported. This is a
+            restriction of the way active record supports default values.
+        4.  Referential integrity constraints are not fully supported. Under at least
+            some circumstances, active record appears to delete parent and child records out of
+            sequence and out of transaction scope. (Or this may just be a problem of test setup.)
+
+    The OCI8 driver can be retrieved from http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/
+
+*   Added option :schema_order to the PostgreSQL adapter to support the use of multiple schemas per database #697 *YuriSchimke*
+
+*   Optimized the SQL used to generate has_and_belongs_to_many queries by listing the join table first #693 *yerejm*
+
+*   Fixed that when using validation macros with a custom message, if you happened to use single quotes in the message string you would get a parsing error #657 *tonka*
+
+*   Fixed that Active Record would throw Broken Pipe errors with FCGI when the MySQL connection timed out instead of reconnecting #428 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added options to specify an SSL connection for MySQL. Define the following attributes in the connection config (config/database.yml in Rails) to use it: sslkey, sslcert, sslca, sslcapath, sslcipher. To use SSL with no client certs, just set :sslca = '/dev/null'. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/secure-connections.html #604 *daniel@nightrunner.com*
+
+*   Added automatic dropping/creating of test tables for running the unit tests on all databases #587 *adelle@bullet.net.au*
+
+*   Fixed that find_by_* would fail when column names had numbers #670 *demetrius*
+
+*   Fixed the SQL Server adapter on a bunch of issues #667 *DeLynn*
+
+        1. Created a new columns method that is much cleaner.
+        2. Corrected a problem with the select and select_all methods
+           that didn't account for the LIMIT clause being passed into raw SQL statements.
+        3. Implemented the string_to_time method in order to create proper instances of the time class.
+        4. Added logic to the simplified_type method that allows the database to specify the scale of float data.
+        5. Adjusted the quote_column_name to account for the fact that MS SQL is bothered by a forward slash in the data string.
+
+*   Fixed that the dynamic finder like find_all_by_something_boolean(false) didn't work #649 *lmarlow*
+
+*   Added validates_each that validates each specified attribute against a block #610 [Jeremy Kemper]. Example:
+
+        class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+          validates_each :first_name, :last_name do |record, attr|
+            record.errors.add attr, 'starts with z.' if attr[0] == ?z
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Added :allow_nil as an explicit option for validates_length_of, so unless that's set to true having the attribute as nil will also return an error if a range is specified as :within #610 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added that validates_* now accept blocks to perform validations #618 [Tim Bates]. Example:
+
+        class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+          validate { |person| person.errors.add("title", "will never be valid") if SHOULD_NEVER_BE_VALID }
+        end
+
+*   Addded validation for validate all the associated objects before declaring failure with validates_associated #618 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Added keyword-style approach to defining the custom relational bindings #545 [Jamis Buck]. Example:
+
+        class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
+          primary_key "sysid"
+          table_name "XYZ_PROJECT"
+          inheritance_column { original_inheritance_column + "_id" }
+        end
+
+*   Fixed Base#clone for use with PostgreSQL #565 *hanson@surgery.wisc.edu*
+
+
+## 1.6.0 (January 25th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added that has_many association build and create methods can take arrays of record data like Base#create and Base#build to build/create multiple records at once.
+
+*   Added that Base#delete and Base#destroy both can take an array of ids to delete/destroy #336
+
+*   Added the option of supplying an array of attributes to Base#create, so that multiple records can be created at once.
+
+*   Added the option of supplying an array of ids and attributes to Base#update, so that multiple records can be updated at once (inspired by #526/Duane Johnson). Example
+
+        people = { 1 => { "first_name" => "David" }, 2 => { "first_name" => "Jeremy"} }
+        Person.update(people.keys, people.values)
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base.timestamps_gmt that can be set to true to make the automated timestamping use GMT instead of local time #520 *Scott Baron*
+
+*   Added that update_all calls sanitize_sql on its updates argument, so stuff like MyRecord.update_all(['time = ?', Time.now]) works #519 *notahat*
+
+*   Fixed that the dynamic finders didn't treat nil as a "IS NULL" but rather "= NULL" case #515 *Demetrius*
+
+*   Added bind-named arrays for interpolating a group of ids or strings in conditions #528 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added that has_and_belongs_to_many associations with additional attributes also can be created between unsaved objects and only committed to the database when Base#save is called on the associator #524 *Eric Anderson*
+
+*   Fixed that records fetched with piggy-back attributes or through rich has_and_belongs_to_many associations couldn't be saved due to the extra attributes not part of the table #522 *Eric Anderson*
+
+*   Added mass-assignment protection for the inheritance column -- regardless of a custom column is used or not
+
+*   Fixed that association proxies would fail === tests like PremiumSubscription === @account.subscription
+
+*   Fixed that column aliases didn't work as expected with the new MySql411 driver #507 *Demetrius*
+
+*   Fixed that find_all would produce invalid sql when called sequentialy #490 *Scott Baron*
+
+
+## 1.5.1 (January 18th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that the belongs_to and has_one proxy would fail a test like 'if project.manager' -- this unfortunately also means that you can't call methods like project.manager.build unless there already is a manager on the project #492 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Fixed that the Ruby/MySQL adapter wouldn't connect if the password was empty #503 *Pelle*
+
+
+## 1.5.0 (January 17th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that unit tests for MySQL are now run as the "rails" user instead of root #455 *Eric Hodel*
+
+*   Added validates_associated that enables validation of objects in an unsaved association #398 [Tim Bates]. Example:
+
+        class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :pages
+          belongs_to :library
+
+          validates_associated :pages, :library
+        end
+
+*   Added support for associating unsaved objects #402 [Tim Bates]. Rules that govern this addition:
+
+        == Unsaved objects and associations
+
+        You can manipulate objects and associations before they are saved to the database, but there is some special behaviour you should be
+        aware of, mostly involving the saving of associated objects.
+
+        === One-to-one associations
+
+        * Assigning an object to a has_one association automatically saves that object, and the object being replaced (if there is one), in
+          order to update their primary keys - except if the parent object is unsaved (new_record? == true).
+        * If either of these saves fail (due to one of the objects being invalid) the assignment statement returns false and the assignment
+          is cancelled.
+        * If you wish to assign an object to a has_one association without saving it, use the #association.build method (documented below).
+        * Assigning an object to a belongs_to association does not save the object, since the foreign key field belongs on the parent. It does
+          not save the parent either.
+
+        === Collections
+
+        * Adding an object to a collection (has_many or has_and_belongs_to_many) automatically saves that object, except if the parent object
+          (the owner of the collection) is not yet stored in the database.
+        * If saving any of the objects being added to a collection (via #push or similar) fails, then #push returns false.
+        * You can add an object to a collection without automatically saving it by using the #collection.build method (documented below).
+        * All unsaved (new_record? == true) members of the collection are automatically saved when the parent is saved.
+
+*   Added replace to associations, so you can do project.manager.replace(new_manager) or project.milestones.replace(new_milestones) #402 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Added build and create methods to has_one and belongs_to associations, so you can now do project.manager.build(attributes) #402 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Added that if a before_* callback returns false, all the later callbacks and the associated action are cancelled. If an after_* callback returns false, all the later callbacks are cancelled. Callbacks are generally run in the order they are defined, with the exception of callbacks defined as methods on the model, which are called last. #402 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Fixed that Base#== wouldn't work for multiple references to the same unsaved object #402 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Fixed binary support for PostgreSQL #444 *alex@byzantine.no*
+
+*   Added a differenciation between AssociationCollection#size and -length. Now AssociationCollection#size returns the size of the
+    collection by executing a SELECT COUNT(*) query if the collection hasn't been loaded and calling collection.size if it has. If
+    it's more likely than not that the collection does have a size larger than zero and you need to fetch that collection afterwards,
+    it'll take one less SELECT query if you use length.
+
+*   Added Base#attributes that returns a hash of all the attributes with their names as keys and clones of their objects as values #433 *atyp.de*
+
+*   Fixed that foreign keys named the same as the association would cause stack overflow #437 *Eric Anderson*
+
+*   Fixed default scope of acts_as_list from "1" to "1 = 1", so it'll work in PostgreSQL (among other places) #427 *Alexey*
+
+*   Added Base#reload that reloads the attributes of an object from the database #422 *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Added SQLite3 compatibility through the sqlite3-ruby adapter by Jamis Buck #381 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added support for the new protocol spoken by MySQL 4.1.1+ servers for the Ruby/MySQL adapter that ships with Rails #440 *Matt Mower*
+
+*   Added that Observers can use the observes class method instead of overwriting self.observed_class().
+
+        Before:
+          class ListSweeper < ActiveRecord::Base
+            def self.observed_class() [ List, Item ]
+          end
+
+        After:
+          class ListSweeper < ActiveRecord::Base
+            observes List, Item
+          end
+
+*   Fixed that conditions in has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many should be interpolated just like the finder_sql is
+
+*   Fixed Base#update_attribute to be indifferent to whether a string or symbol is used to describe the name
+
+*   Added Base#toggle(attribute) and Base#toggle!(attribute) that makes it easier to flip a switch or flag.
+
+        Before: topic.update_attribute(:approved, !approved?)
+        After : topic.toggle!(:approved)
+
+*   Added Base#increment!(attribute) and Base#decrement!(attribute) that also saves the records. Example:
+
+        page.views # => 1
+        page.increment!(:views) # executes an UPDATE statement
+        page.views # => 2
+
+        page.increment(:views).increment!(:views)
+        page.views # => 4
+
+*   Added Base#increment(attribute) and Base#decrement(attribute) that encapsulates the += 1 and -= 1 patterns.
+
+
+## 1.4.0 (January 4th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added automated optimistic locking if the field <tt>lock_version</tt> is present.  Each update to the
+    record increments the lock_version column and the locking facilities ensure that records instantiated twice
+    will let the last one saved raise a StaleObjectError if the first was also updated. Example:
+
+        p1 = Person.find(1)
+        p2 = Person.find(1)
+
+        p1.first_name = "Michael"
+        p1.save
+
+        p2.first_name = "should fail"
+        p2.save # Raises a ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError
+
+    You're then responsible for dealing with the conflict by rescuing the exception and either rolling back, merging,
+    or otherwise apply the business logic needed to resolve the conflict.
+
+    \#384 *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added dynamic attribute-based finders as a cleaner way of getting objects by simple queries without turning to SQL.
+    They work by appending the name of an attribute to <tt>find_by_</tt>, so you get finders like <tt>Person.find_by_user_name,
+    Payment.find_by_transaction_id</tt>. So instead of writing <tt>Person.find_first(["user_name = ?", user_name])</tt>, you just do
+    <tt>Person.find_by_user_name(user_name)</tt>.
+
+    It's also possible to use multiple attributes in the same find by separating them with "_and_", so you get finders like
+    <tt>Person.find_by_user_name_and_password</tt> or even <tt>Payment.find_by_purchaser_and_state_and_country</tt>. So instead of writing
+    <tt>Person.find_first(["user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password])</tt>, you just do
+    <tt>Person.find_by_user_name_and_password(user_name, password)</tt>.
+
+    While primarily a construct for easier find_firsts, it can also be used as a construct for find_all by using calls like
+    <tt>Payment.find_all_by_amount(50)</tt> that is turned into <tt>Payment.find_all(["amount = ?", 50])</tt>. This is something not as equally useful,
+    though, as it's not possible to specify the order in which the objects are returned.
+
+*   Added block-style for callbacks #332 [Jeremy Kemper].
+
+        Before:
+          before_destroy(Proc.new{ |record| Person.destroy_all "firm_id = #{record.id}" })
+
+        After:
+          before_destroy { |record| Person.destroy_all "firm_id = #{record.id}" }
+
+*   Added :counter_cache option to acts_as_tree that works just like the one you can define on belongs_to #371 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Added Base.default_timezone accessor that determines whether to use Time.local (using :local) or Time.utc (using :utc) when pulling dates
+    and times from the database. This is set to :local by default.
+
+*   Added the possibility for adapters to overwrite add_limit! to implement a different limiting scheme than "LIMIT X" used by MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
+
+*   Added the possibility of having objects with acts_as_list created before their scope is available or...
+
+*   Added a db2 adapter that only depends on the Ruby/DB2 bindings (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-db2/) #386 *Maik Schmidt*
+
+*   Added the final touches to the Microsoft SQL Server adapter by Joey Gibson that makes it suitable for actual use #394 *DeLynn Barry*
+
+*   Added that Base#find takes an optional options hash, including :conditions. Base#find_on_conditions deprecated in favor of #find with :conditions #407 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added HasManyAssociation#count that works like Base#count #413 *intinig*
+
+*   Fixed handling of binary content in blobs and similar fields for Ruby/MySQL and SQLite #409 *xal*
+
+*   Fixed a bug in the Ruby/MySQL that caused binary content to be escaped badly and come back mangled #405 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Fixed that the const_missing autoload assumes the requested constant is set by require_association and calls const_get to retrieve it.
+    If require_association did not set the constant then const_get will call const_missing, resulting in an infinite loop #380 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed broken transactions that were actually only running object-level and not db level transactions *andreas*
+
+*   Fixed that validates_uniqueness_of used 'id' instead of defined primary key #406
+
+*   Fixed that the overwritten respond_to? method didn't take two parameters like the original #391
+
+*   Fixed quoting in validates_format_of that would allow some rules to pass regardless of input #390 *Dmitry V. Sabanin*
+
+
+## 1.3.0 (December 23, 2004) ##
+
+*   Added a require_association hook on const_missing that makes it possible to use any model class without requiring it first. This makes STI look like:
+
+        before:
+          require_association 'person'
+          class Employee < Person
+          end
+
+        after:
+          class Employee < Person
+          end
+
+    This also reduces the usefulness of Controller.model in Action Pack to currently only being for documentation purposes.
+
+*   Added that Base.update_all and Base.delete_all return an integer of the number of affected rows #341
+
+*   Added scope option to validation_uniqueness #349 *Kent Sibilev*
+
+*   Added respondence to *_before_type_cast for all attributes to return their string-state before they were type casted by the column type.
+    This is helpful for getting "100,000" back on a integer-based validation where the value would normally be "100".
+
+*   Added allow_nil options to validates_inclusion_of so that validation is only triggered if the attribute is not nil *what-a-day*
+
+*   Added work-around for PostgreSQL and the problem of getting fixtures to be created from id 1 on each test case.
+    This only works for auto-incrementing primary keys called "id" for now #359 *Scott Baron*
+
+*   Added Base#clear_association_cache to empty all the cached associations #347 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added more informative exceptions in establish_connection #356 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added Base#update_attributes that'll accept a hash of attributes and save the record (returning true if it passed validation, false otherwise).
+
+        Before:
+          person.attributes = @params["person"]
+          person.save
+
+        Now:
+          person.update_attributes(@params["person"])
+
+*   Added Base.destroy and Base.delete to remove records without holding a reference to them first.
+
+*   Added that query benchmarking will only happen if its going to be logged anyway #344
+
+*   Added higher_item and lower_item as public methods for acts_as_list #342 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Fixed that options[:counter_sql] was overwritten with interpolated sql rather than original sql #355 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed that overriding an attribute's accessor would be disregarded by add_on_empty and add_on_boundary_breaking because they simply used
+    the attributes[] hash instead of checking for @base.respond_to?(attr.to_s). *Marten*
+
+*   Fixed that Base.table_name would expect a parameter when used in has_and_belongs_to_many joins *Anna Lissa Cruz*
+
+*   Fixed that nested transactions now work by letting the outer most transaction have the responsibilty of starting and rolling back the transaction.
+    If any of the inner transactions swallow the exception raised, though, the transaction will not be rolled back. So always let the transaction
+    bubble up even when you've dealt with local issues. Closes #231 and #340.
+
+*   Fixed validates_{confirmation,acceptance}_of to only happen when the virtual attributes are not nil #348 *dpiddy@gmail.com*
+
+*   Changed the interface on AbstractAdapter to require that adapters return the number of affected rows on delete and update operations.
+
+*   Fixed the automated timestamping feature when running under Rails' development environment that resets the inheritable attributes on each request.
+
+
+
+## 1.2.0 ##
+
+*   Added Base.validates_inclusion_of that validates whether the value of the specified attribute is available in a particular enumerable
+    object. *what-a-day*
+
+        class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+          validates_inclusion_of :gender, :in=>%w( m f ), :message=>"woah! what are you then!??!!"
+          validates_inclusion_of :age, :in=>0..99
+        end
+
+*   Added acts_as_list that can decorates an existing class with methods like move_higher/lower, move_to_top/bottom. [Tobias Lütke] Example:
+
+        class TodoItem < ActiveRecord::Base
+          acts_as_list :scope => :todo_list_id
+          belongs_to :todo_list
+        end
+
+*   Added acts_as_tree that can decorates an existing class with a many to many relationship with itself. Perfect for categories in
+    categories and the likes. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added that Active Records will automatically record creation and/or update timestamps of database objects if fields of the names
+    created_at/created_on or updated_at/updated_on are present. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added Base.default_error_messages as a hash of all the error messages used in the validates_*_of so they can be changed in one place *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added automatic transaction block around AssociationCollection.<<, AssociationCollection.delete, and AssociationCollection.destroy_all
+
+*   Fixed that Base#find will return an array if given an array -- regardless of the number of elements #270 *Marten*
+
+*   Fixed that has_and_belongs_to_many would generate bad sql when naming conventions differed from using vanilla "id" everywhere *RedTerror*
+
+*   Added a better exception for when a type column is used in a table without the intention of triggering single-table inheritance. Example:
+
+        ActiveRecord::SubclassNotFound: The single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass: 'bad_class!'.
+        This error is raised because the column 'type' is reserved for storing the class in case of inheritance.
+        Please rename this column if you didn't intend it to be used for storing the inheritance class or
+        overwrite Company.inheritance_column to use another column for that information.
+
+*   Added that single-table inheritance will only kick in if the inheritance_column (by default "type") is present. Otherwise, inheritance won't
+    have any magic side effects.
+
+*   Added the possibility of marking fields as being in error without adding a message (using nil) to it that'll get displayed wth full_messages #208 *mjobin*
+
+*   Fixed Base.errors to be indifferent as to whether strings or symbols are used. Examples:
+
+        Before:
+          errors.add(:name, "must be shorter") if name.size > 10
+          errors.on(:name)  # => "must be shorter"
+          errors.on("name") # => nil
+
+        After:
+          errors.add(:name, "must be shorter") if name.size > 10
+          errors.on(:name)  # => "must be shorter"
+          errors.on("name") # => "must be shorter"
+
+*   Added Base.validates_format_of that Validates whether the value of the specified attribute is of the correct form by matching
+    it against the regular expression provided. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+        class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+          validates_format_of :email, :with => /^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/, :on => :create
+        end
+
+*   Added Base.validates_length_of that delegates to add_on_boundary_breaking #312 [Tobias Lütke]. Example:
+
+        Validates that the specified attribute matches the length restrictions supplied in either:
+
+          - configuration[:minimum]
+          - configuration[:maximum]
+          - configuration[:is]
+          - configuration[:within] (aka. configuration[:in])
+
+        Only one option can be used at a time.
+
+          class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+            validates_length_of :first_name, :maximum=>30
+            validates_length_of :last_name, :maximum=>30, :message=>"less than %d if you don't mind"
+            validates_length_of :user_name, :within => 6..20, :too_long => "pick a shorter name", :too_short => "pick a longer name"
+            validates_length_of :fav_bra_size, :minimum=>1, :too_short=>"please enter at least %d character"
+            validates_length_of :smurf_leader, :is=>4, :message=>"papa is spelled with %d characters... don't play me."
+          end
+
+*   Added Base.validate_presence as an alternative to implementing validate and doing errors.add_on_empty yourself.
+
+*   Added Base.validates_uniqueness_of that alidates whether the value of the specified attributes are unique across the system.
+    Useful for making sure that only one user can be named "davidhh".
+
+        class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+          validates_uniqueness_of :user_name
+        end
+
+    When the record is created, a check is performed to make sure that no record exist in the database with the given value for the specified
+    attribute (that maps to a column). When the record is updated, the same check is made but disregarding the record itself.
+
+
+*   Added Base.validates_confirmation_of that encapsulates the pattern of wanting to validate a password or email address field with a confirmation. Example:
+
+         Model:
+           class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+             validates_confirmation_of :password
+           end
+
+         View:
+           <%= password_field "person", "password" %>
+           <%= password_field "person", "password_confirmation" %>
+
+     The person has to already have a password attribute (a column in the people table), but the password_confirmation is virtual.
+     It exists only as an in-memory variable for validating the password. This check is performed both on create and update.
+
+
+*   Added Base.validates_acceptance_of that encapsulates the pattern of wanting to validate the acceptance of a terms of service check box (or similar agreement). Example:
+
+     class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+         validates_acceptance_of :terms_of_service
+     end
+
+    The terms_of_service attribute is entirely virtual. No database column is needed. This check is performed both on create and update.
+
+    NOTE: The agreement is considered valid if it's set to the string "1". This makes it easy to relate it to an HTML checkbox.
+
+
+*   Added validation macros to make the stackable just like the life cycle callbacks. Examples:
+
+        class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+          validate { |record| record.errors.add("name", "too short") unless name.size > 10 }
+          validate { |record| record.errors.add("name", "too long")  unless name.size < 20 }
+          validate_on_create :validate_password
+
+          private
+            def validate_password
+              errors.add("password", "too short") unless password.size > 6
+            end
+        end
+
+*   Added the option for sanitizing find_by_sql and the offset parts in regular finds [Sam Stephenson]. Examples:
+
+        Project.find_all ["category = ?", category_name], "created ASC", ["? OFFSET ?", 15, 20]
+        Post.find_by_sql ["SELECT * FROM posts WHERE author = ? AND created > ?", author_id, start_date]
+
+*   Fixed value quoting in all generated SQL statements, so that integers are not surrounded in quotes and that all sanitation are happening
+    through the database's own quoting routine. This should hopefully make it lots easier for new adapters that doesn't accept '1' for integer
+    columns.
+
+*   Fixed has_and_belongs_to_many guessing of foreign key so that keys are generated correctly for models like SomeVerySpecialClient
+    *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Added counter_sql option for has_many associations [Jeremy Kemper]. Documentation:
+
+        <tt>:counter_sql</tt> - specify a complete SQL statement to fetch the size of the association. If +:finder_sql+ is
+        specified but +:counter_sql+, +:counter_sql+ will be generated by replacing SELECT ... FROM with SELECT COUNT(*) FROM.
+
+*   Fixed that methods wrapped in callbacks still return their original result #260 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed the Inflector to handle the movie/movies pair correctly #261 *Scott Baron*
+
+*   Added named bind-style variable interpolation #281 [Michael Koziarski]. Example:
+
+        Person.find(["id = :id and first_name = :first_name", { :id => 5, :first_name = "bob' or 1=1" }])
+
+*   Added bind-style variable interpolation for the condition arrays that uses the adapter's quote method *Michael Koziarski*
+
+    Before:
+        find_first([ "user_name = '%s' AND password = '%s'", user_name, password ])]
+        find_first([ "firm_id = %s", firm_id ])] # unsafe!
+
+    After:
+        find_first([ "user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password ])]
+        find_first([ "firm_id = ?", firm_id ])]
+
+*   Added CSV format for fixtures #272 [what-a-day]. (See the new and expanded documentation on fixtures for more information)
+
+*   Fixed fixtures using primary key fields called something else than "id" *dave*
+
+*   Added proper handling of time fields that are turned into Time objects with the dummy date of 2000/1/1 *HariSeldon*
+
+*   Added reverse order of deleting fixtures, so referential keys can be maintained #247 *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Added relative path search for sqlite dbfiles in database.yml (if RAILS_ROOT is defined) #233 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added option to establish_connection where you'll be able to leave out the parameter to have it use the RAILS_ENV environment variable
+
+*   Fixed problems with primary keys and postgresql sequences (#230) *Tim Bates*
+
+*   Added reloading for associations under cached environments like FastCGI and mod_ruby. This makes it possible to use those environments for development.
+    This is turned on by default, but can be turned off with ActiveRecord::Base.reload_dependencies = false in production environments.
+
+    NOTE: This will only have an effect if you let the associations manage the requiring of model classes. All libraries loaded through
+    require will be "forever" cached. You can, however, use ActiveRecord::Base.load_or_require("library") to get this behavior outside of the
+    auto-loading associations.
+
+*   Added ERB capabilities to the fixture files for dynamic fixture generation. You don't need to do anything, just include ERB blocks like:
+
+        david:
+          id: 1
+          name: David
+
+        jamis:
+          id: 2
+          name: Jamis
+
+        <% for digit in 3..10 %>
+        dev_<%= digit %>:
+          id: <%= digit %>
+          name: fixture_<%= digit %>
+        <% end %>
+
+*   Changed the yaml fixture searcher to look in the root of the fixtures directory, so when you before could have something like:
+
+        fixtures/developers/fixtures.yaml
+        fixtures/accounts/fixtures.yaml
+
+    ...you now need to do:
+
+        fixtures/developers.yaml
+        fixtures/accounts.yaml
+
+*   Changed the fixture format from:
+
+        name: david
+        data:
+         id: 1
+         name: David Heinemeier Hansson
+         birthday: 1979-10-15
+         profession: Systems development
+        ---
+        name: steve
+        data:
+         id: 2
+         name: Steve Ross Kellock
+         birthday: 1974-09-27
+         profession: guy with keyboard
+
+    ...to:
+
+        david:
+         id: 1
+         name: David Heinemeier Hansson
+         birthday: 1979-10-15
+         profession: Systems development
+
+        steve:
+         id: 2
+         name: Steve Ross Kellock
+         birthday: 1974-09-27
+         profession: guy with keyboard
+
+    The change is NOT backwards compatible. Fixtures written in the old YAML style needs to be rewritten!
+
+*   All associations will now attempt to require the classes that they associate to. Relieving the need for most explicit 'require' statements.
+
+
+## 1.1.0 (34) ##
+
+*   Added automatic fixture setup and instance variable availability. Fixtures can also be automatically
+    instantiated in instance variables relating to their names using the following style:
+
+        class FixturesTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
+          fixtures :developers # you can add more with comma separation
+
+          def test_developers
+            assert_equal 3, @developers.size # the container for all the fixtures is automatically set
+            assert_kind_of Developer, @david # works like @developers["david"].find
+            assert_equal "David Heinemeier Hansson", @david.name
+          end
+        end
+
+*   Added HasAndBelongsToManyAssociation#push_with_attributes(object, join_attributes) that can create associations in the join table with additional
+    attributes. This is really useful when you have information that's only relevant to the join itself, such as a "added_on" column for an association
+    between post and category. The added attributes will automatically be injected into objects retrieved through the association similar to the piggy-back
+    approach:
+
+        post.categories.push_with_attributes(category, :added_on => Date.today)
+        post.categories.first.added_on # => Date.today
+
+    NOTE: The categories table doesn't have a added_on column, it's the categories_post join table that does!
+
+*   Fixed that :exclusively_dependent and :dependent can't be activated at the same time on has_many associations *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed that database passwords couldn't be all numeric *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed that calling id would create the instance variable for new_records preventing them from being saved correctly *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added sanitization feature to HasManyAssociation#find_all so it works just like Base.find_all *Sam Stephenson/Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added that you can pass overlapping ids to find without getting duplicated records back *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added that Base.benchmark returns the result of the block *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed problem with unit tests on Windows with SQLite *paterno*
+
+*   Fixed that quotes would break regular non-yaml fixtures *Dmitry Sabanin/daft*
+
+*   Fixed fixtures on windows with line endings cause problems under unix / mac *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added HasAndBelongsToManyAssociation#find(id) that'll search inside the collection and find the object or record with that id
+
+*   Added :conditions option to has_and_belongs_to_many that works just like the one on all the other associations
+
+*   Added AssociationCollection#clear to remove all associations from has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many associations without destroying the records *geech*
+
+*   Added type-checking and remove in 1-instead-of-N sql statements to AssociationCollection#delete *geech*
+
+*   Added a return of self to AssociationCollection#<< so appending can be chained, like project << Milestone.create << Milestone.create *geech*
+
+*   Added Base#hash and Base#eql? which means that all of the equality using features of array and other containers now works:
+
+        [ Person.find(1), Person.find(2), Person.find(3) ] & [ Person.find(1), Person.find(4) ] # => [ Person.find(1) ]
+
+*   Added :uniq as an option to has_and_belongs_to_many which will automatically ensure that AssociateCollection#uniq is called
+    before pulling records out of the association. This is especially useful for three-way (and above) has_and_belongs_to_many associations.
+
+*   Added AssociateCollection#uniq which is especially useful for has_and_belongs_to_many associations that can include duplicates,
+    which is common on associations that also use metadata. Usage: post.categories.uniq
+
+*   Fixed respond_to? to use a subclass specific hash instead of an Active Record-wide one
+
+*   Fixed has_and_belongs_to_many to treat associations between classes in modules properly *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Added a NoMethod exception to be raised when query and writer methods are called for attributes that doesn't exist *geech*
+
+*   Added a more robust version of Fixtures that throws meaningful errors when on formatting issues *geech*
+
+*   Added Base#transaction as a compliment to Base.transaction for prettier use in instance methods *geech*
+
+*   Improved the speed of respond_to? by placing the dynamic methods lookup table in a hash *geech*
+
+*   Added that any additional fields added to the join table in a has_and_belongs_to_many association
+    will be placed as attributes when pulling records out through has_and_belongs_to_many associations.
+    This is helpful when have information about the association itself that you want available on retrival.
+
+*   Added better loading exception catching and RubyGems retries to the database adapters *alexeyv*
+
+*   Fixed bug with per-model transactions *daniel*
+
+*   Fixed Base#transaction so that it returns the result of the last expression in the transaction block *alexeyv*
+
+*   Added Fixture#find to find the record corresponding to the fixture id. The record
+    class name is guessed by using Inflector#classify (also new) on the fixture directory name.
+
+        Before: Document.find(@documents["first"]["id"])
+        After : @documents["first"].find
+
+*   Fixed that the table name part of column names ("TABLE.COLUMN") wasn't removed properly *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Fixed a bug with Base#size when a finder_sql was used that didn't capitalize SELECT and FROM *geech*
+
+*   Fixed quoting problems on SQLite by adding quote_string to the AbstractAdapter that can be overwritten by the concrete
+    adapters for a call to the dbm. *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Removed RubyGems backup strategy for requiring SQLite-adapter -- if people want to use gems, they're already doing it with AR.
+
+
+## 1.0.0 (35) ##
+
+*   Added OO-style associations methods [Florian Weber]. Examples:
+
+        Project#milestones_count       => Project#milestones.size
+        Project#build_to_milestones    => Project#milestones.build
+        Project#create_for_milestones  => Project#milestones.create
+        Project#find_in_milestones     => Project#milestones.find
+        Project#find_all_in_milestones => Project#milestones.find_all
+
+*   Added serialize as a new class method to control when text attributes should be YAMLized or not. This means that automated
+    serialization of hashes, arrays, and so on WILL NO LONGER HAPPEN (#10). You need to do something like this:
+
+        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+          serialize :settings
+        end
+
+    This will assume that settings is a text column and will now YAMLize any object put in that attribute. You can also specify
+    an optional :class_name option that'll raise an exception if a serialized object is retrieved as a descendant of a class not in
+    the hierarchy. Example:
+
+        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+          serialize :settings, :class_name => "Hash"
+        end
+
+        user = User.create("settings" => %w( one two three ))
+        User.find(user.id).settings # => raises SerializationTypeMismatch
+
+*   Added the option to connect to a different database for one model at a time. Just call establish_connection on the class
+    you want to have connected to another database than Base. This will automatically also connect decendents of that class
+    to the different database [Renald Buter].
+
+*   Added transactional protection for Base#save. Validations can now check for values knowing that it happens in a transaction and callbacks
+    can raise exceptions knowing that the save will be rolled back. *Suggested by Alexey Verkhovsky*
+
+*   Added column name quoting so reserved words, such as "references", can be used as column names *Ryan Platte*
+
+*   Added the possibility to chain the return of what happened inside a logged block [geech]:
+
+        This now works:
+          log { ... }.map { ... }
+
+        Instead of doing:
+          result = []
+          log { result = ... }
+          result.map { ... }
+
+*   Added "socket" option for the MySQL adapter, so you can change it to something else than "/tmp/mysql.sock" *Anna Lissa Cruz*
+
+*   Added respond_to? answers for all the attribute methods. So if Person has a name attribute retrieved from the table schema,
+    person.respond_to? "name" will return true.
+
+*   Added Base.benchmark which can be used to aggregate logging and benchmark, so you can measure and represent multiple statements in a single block.
+    Usage (hides all the SQL calls for the individual actions and calculates total runtime for them all):
+
+        Project.benchmark("Creating project") do
+          project = Project.create("name" => "stuff")
+          project.create_manager("name" => "David")
+          project.milestones << Milestone.find_all
+        end
+
+*   Added logging of invalid SQL statements *Daniel Von Fange*
+
+*   Added alias Errors#[] for Errors#on, so you can now say person.errors["name"] to retrieve the errors for name *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Added RubyGems require attempt if sqlite-ruby is not available through regular methods.
+
+*   Added compatibility with 2.x series of sqlite-ruby drivers. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added type safety for association assignments, so a ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch will be raised if you attempt to
+    assign an object that's not of the associated class. This cures the problem with nil giving id = 4 and fixnums giving id = 1 on
+    mistaken association assignments. *Reported by Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Added the option to keep many fixtures in one single YAML document *what-a-day*
+
+*   Added the class method "inheritance_column" that can be overwritten to return the name of an alternative column than "type" for storing
+    the type for inheritance hierarchies. *Dave Steinberg*
+
+*   Added [] and []= as an alternative way to access attributes when the regular methods have been overwritten *Dave Steinberg*
+
+*   Added the option to observer more than one class at the time by specifying observed_class as an array
+
+*   Added auto-id propagation support for tables with arbitrary primary keys that have autogenerated sequences associated with them
+    on PostgreSQL. *Dave Steinberg*
+
+*   Changed that integer and floats set to "" through attributes= remain as NULL. This was especially a problem for scaffolding and postgresql. (#49)
+
+*   Changed the MySQL Adapter to rely on MySQL for its defaults for socket, host, and port *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Changed ActionControllerError to decent from StandardError instead of Exception. It can now be caught by a generic rescue.
+
+*   Changed class inheritable attributes to not use eval *Caio Chassot*
+
+*   Changed Errors#add to now use "invalid" as the default message instead of true, which means full_messages work with those *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed spelling on Base#add_on_boundry_breaking to Base#add_on_boundary_breaking (old naming still works) *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed that entries in the has_and_belongs_to_many join table didn't get removed when an associated object was destroyed.
+
+*   Fixed unnecessary calls to SET AUTOCOMMIT=0/1 for MySQL adapter *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Fixed PostgreSQL defaults are now handled gracefully *Dave Steinberg*
+
+*   Fixed increment/decrement_counter are now atomic updates *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Fixed the problems the Inflector had turning Attachment into attuchments and Cases into Casis *radsaq/Florian Gross*
+
+*   Fixed that cloned records would point attribute references on the parent object *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Fixed SQL for type call on inheritance hierarchies *Caio Chassot*
+
+*   Fixed bug with typed inheritance *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Fixed a bug where has_many collection_count wouldn't use the conditions specified for that association
+
+
+## 0.9.5 ##
+
+*   Expanded the table_name guessing rules immensely [Florian Green]. Documentation:
+
+        Guesses the table name (in forced lower-case) based on the name of the class in the inheritance hierarchy descending
+        directly from ActiveRecord. So if the hierarchy looks like: Reply < Message < ActiveRecord, then Message is used
+        to guess the table name from even when called on Reply. The guessing rules are as follows:
+        * Class name ends in "x", "ch" or "ss": "es" is appended, so a Search class becomes a searches table.
+        * Class name ends in "y" preceded by a consonant or "qu": The "y" is replaced with "ies",
+          so a Category class becomes a categories table.
+        * Class name ends in "fe": The "fe" is replaced with "ves", so a Wife class becomes a wives table.
+        * Class name ends in "lf" or "rf": The "f" is replaced with "ves", so a Half class becomes a halves table.
+        * Class name ends in "person": The "person" is replaced with "people", so a Salesperson class becomes a salespeople table.
+        * Class name ends in "man": The "man" is replaced with "men", so a Spokesman class becomes a spokesmen table.
+        * Class name ends in "sis": The "i" is replaced with an "e", so a Basis class becomes a bases table.
+        * Class name ends in "tum" or "ium": The "um" is replaced with an "a", so a Datum class becomes a data table.
+        * Class name ends in "child": The "child" is replaced with "children", so a NodeChild class becomes a node_children table.
+        * Class name ends in an "s": No additional characters are added or removed.
+        * Class name doesn't end in "s": An "s" is appended, so a Comment class becomes a comments table.
+        * Class name with word compositions: Compositions are underscored, so CreditCard class becomes a credit_cards table.
+        Additionally, the class-level table_name_prefix is prepended to the table_name and the table_name_suffix is appended.
+        So if you have "myapp_" as a prefix, the table name guess for an Account class becomes "myapp_accounts".
+
+        You can also overwrite this class method to allow for unguessable links, such as a Mouse class with a link to a
+        "mice" table. Example:
+
+          class Mouse < ActiveRecord::Base
+             def self.table_name() "mice" end
+          end
+
+    This conversion is now done through an external class called Inflector residing in lib/active_record/support/inflector.rb.
+
+*   Added find_all_in_collection to has_many defined collections. Works like this:
+
+        class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :clients
+        end
+
+        firm.id # => 1
+        firm.find_all_in_clients "revenue > 1000" # SELECT * FROM clients WHERE firm_id = 1 AND revenue > 1000
+
+    *Requested by Dave Thomas*
+
+*   Fixed finders for inheritance hierarchies deeper than one level *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Added add_on_boundry_breaking to errors to accompany add_on_empty as a default validation method. It's used like this:
+
+        class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+          protected
+            def validation
+              errors.add_on_boundry_breaking "password", 3..20
+            end
+        end
+
+    This will add an error to the tune of "is too short (minimum is 3 characters)" or "is too long (minimum is 20 characters)" if
+    the password is outside the boundry. The messages can be changed by passing a third and forth parameter as message strings.
+
+*   Implemented a clone method that works properly with AR. It returns a clone of the record that
+    hasn't been assigned an id yet and is treated as a new record.
+
+*   Allow for domain sockets in PostgreSQL by not assuming localhost when no host is specified *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Fixed that bignums are saved properly instead of attempted to be YAMLized *Andreas Schwartz*
+
+*   Fixed a bug in the GEM where the rdoc options weren't being passed according to spec *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Fixed a bug with the exclusively_dependent option for has_many
+
+
+## 0.9.4 ##
+
+*   Correctly guesses the primary key when the class is inside a module [Dave Steinberg].
+
+*   Added [] and []= as alternatives to read_attribute and write_attribute *Dave Steinberg*
+
+*   has_and_belongs_to_many now accepts an :order key to determine in which order the collection is returned [radsaq].
+
+*   The ids passed to find and find_on_conditions are now automatically sanitized.
+
+*   Added escaping of plings in YAML content.
+
+*   Multi-parameter assigns where all the parameters are empty will now be set to nil instead of a new instance of their class.
+
+*   Proper type within an inheritance hierarchy is now ensured already at object initialization (instead of first at create)
+
+
+## 0.9.3 ##
+
+*   Fixed bug with using a different primary key name together with has_and_belongs_to_many *Investigation by Scott*
+
+*   Added :exclusively_dependent option to the has_many association macro. The doc reads:
+
+        If set to true all the associated object are deleted in one SQL statement without having their
+        before_destroy callback run. This should only be used on associations that depend solely on
+        this class and don't need to do any clean-up in before_destroy. The upside is that it's much
+        faster, especially if there's a counter_cache involved.
+
+*   Added :port key to connection options, so the PostgreSQL and MySQL adapters can connect to a database server
+    running on another port than the default.
+
+*   Converted the new natural singleton methods that prevented AR objects from being saved by PStore
+    (and hence be placed in a Rails session) to a module. *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Fixed the use of floats (was broken since 0.9.0+)
+
+*   Fixed PostgreSQL adapter so default values are displayed properly when used in conjunction with
+    Action Pack scaffolding.
+
+*   Fixed booleans support for PostgreSQL (use real true/false on boolean fields instead of 0/1 on tinyints) *radsaq*
+
+
+## 0.9.2 ##
+
+*   Added static method for instantly updating a record
+
+*   Treat decimal and numeric as Ruby floats *Andreas Schwartz*
+
+*   Treat chars as Ruby strings (fixes problem for Action Pack form helpers too)
+
+*   Removed debugging output accidently left in (which would screw web applications)
+
+
+## 0.9.1 ##
+
+*   Added MIT license
+
+*   Added natural object-style assignment for has_and_belongs_to_many associations. Consider the following model:
+
+        class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_one_and_belongs_to_many :sponsors
+        end
+
+        class Sponsor < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_one_and_belongs_to_many :sponsors
+        end
+
+    Earlier, you'd have to use synthetic methods for creating associations between two objects of the above class:
+
+        roskilde_festival.add_to_sponsors(carlsberg)
+        roskilde_festival.remove_from_sponsors(carlsberg)
+
+        nike.add_to_events(world_cup)
+        nike.remove_from_events(world_cup)
+
+    Now you can use regular array-styled methods:
+
+        roskilde_festival.sponsors << carlsberg
+        roskilde_festival.sponsors.delete(carlsberg)
+
+        nike.events << world_cup
+        nike.events.delete(world_cup)
+
+*   Added delete method for has_many associations. Using this will nullify an association between the has_many and the belonging
+    object by setting the foreign key to null. Consider this model:
+
+        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :comments
+        end
+
+        class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :post
+        end
+
+    You could do something like:
+
+        funny_comment.has_post? # => true
+        announcement.comments.delete(funny_comment)
+        funny_comment.has_post? # => false
+
+
+## 0.9.0 ##
+
+*   Active Record is now thread safe! (So you can use it with Cerise and WEBrick applications)
+    *Implementation idea by Michael Neumann, debugging assistance by Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Improved performance by roughly 400% on a basic test case of pulling 100 records and querying one attribute.
+    This brings the tax for using Active Record instead of "riding on the metal" (using MySQL-ruby C-driver directly) down to ~50%.
+    Done by doing lazy type conversions and caching column information on the class-level.
+
+*   Added callback objects and procs as options for implementing the target for callback macros.
+
+*   Added "counter_cache" option to belongs_to that automates the usage of increment_counter and decrement_counter. Consider:
+
+        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :comments
+        end
+
+        class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :post
+        end
+
+    Iterating over 100 posts like this:
+
+        <% for post in @posts %>
+          <%= post.title %> has <%= post.comments_count %> comments
+        <% end %>
+
+    Will generate 100 SQL count queries -- one for each call to post.comments_count. If you instead add a "comments_count" int column
+    to the posts table and rewrite the comments association macro with:
+
+        class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :post, :counter_cache => true
+        end
+
+    Those 100 SQL count queries will be reduced to zero. Beware that counter caching is only appropriate for objects that begin life
+    with the object it's specified to belong with and is destroyed like that as well. Typically objects where you would also specify
+    :dependent => true. If your objects switch from one belonging to another (like a post that can be move from one category to another),
+    you'll have to manage the counter yourself.
+
+*   Added natural object-style assignment for has_one and belongs_to associations. Consider the following model:
+
+        class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_one :manager
+        end
+
+        class Manager < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :project
+        end
+
+    Earlier, assignments would work like following regardless of which way the assignment told the best story:
+
+        active_record.manager_id = david.id
+
+    Now you can do it either from the belonging side:
+
+        david.project = active_record
+
+    ...or from the having side:
+
+        active_record.manager = david
+
+    If the assignment happens from the having side, the assigned object is automatically saved. So in the example above, the
+    project_id attribute on david would be set to the id of active_record, then david would be saved.
+
+*   Added natural object-style assignment for has_many associations [Florian Weber]. Consider the following model:
+
+        class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :milestones
+        end
+
+        class Milestone < ActiveRecord::Base
+          belongs_to :project
+        end
+
+    Earlier, assignments would work like following regardless of which way the assignment told the best story:
+
+        deadline.project_id = active_record.id
+
+    Now you can do it either from the belonging side:
+
+        deadline.project = active_record
+
+    ...or from the having side:
+
+        active_record.milestones << deadline
+
+    The milestone is automatically saved with the new foreign key.
+
+*   API CHANGE: Attributes for text (or blob or similar) columns will now have unknown classes stored using YAML instead of using
+    to_s. (Known classes that won't be yamelized are: String, NilClass, TrueClass, FalseClass, Fixnum, Date, and Time).
+    Likewise, data pulled out of text-based attributes will be attempted converged using Yaml if they have the "--- " header.
+    This was primarily done to be enable the storage of hashes and arrays without wrapping them in aggregations, so now you can do:
+
+        user = User.find(1)
+        user.preferences = { "background" => "black", "display" => large }
+        user.save
+
+        User.find(1).preferences # => { "background" => "black", "display" => large }
+
+    Please note that this method should only be used when you don't care about representing the object in proper columns in
+    the database. A money object consisting of an amount and a currency is still a much better fit for a value object done through
+    aggregations than this new option.
+
+*   POSSIBLE CODE BREAKAGE: As a consequence of the lazy type conversions, it's a bad idea to reference the @attributes hash
+    directly (it always was, but now it's paramount that you don't). If you do, you won't get the type conversion. So to implement
+    new accessors for existing attributes, use read_attribute(attr_name) and write_attribute(attr_name, value) instead. Like this:
+
+        class Song < ActiveRecord::Base
+          # Uses an integer of seconds to hold the length of the song
+
+          def length=(minutes)
+            write_attribute("length", minutes * 60)
+          end
+
+          def length
+            read_attribute("length") / 60
+          end
+        end
+
+    The clever kid will notice that this opens a door to sidestep the automated type conversion by using @attributes directly.
+    This is not recommended as read/write_attribute may be granted additional responsibilities in the future, but if you think
+    you know what you're doing and aren't afraid of future consequences, this is an option.
+
+*   Applied a few minor bug fixes reported by Daniel Von Fange.
+
+
+## 0.8.4 ##
+
+    _Reflection_
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Reflection with a bunch of methods and classes for reflecting in aggregations and associations.
+
+*   Added Base.columns and Base.content_columns which returns arrays of column description (type, default, etc) objects.
+
+*   Added Base#attribute_names which returns an array of names for the attributes available on the object.
+
+*   Added Base#column_for_attribute(name) which returns the column description object for the named attribute.
+
+
+    _Misc_
+*   Added multi-parameter assignment:
+
+        # Instantiate objects for all attribute classes that needs more than one constructor parameter. This is done
+        # by calling new on the column type or aggregation type (through composed_of) object with these parameters.
+        # So having the pairs written_on(1) = "2004", written_on(2) = "6", written_on(3) = "24", will instantiate
+        # written_on (a date type) with Date.new("2004", "6", "24"). You can also specify a typecast character in the
+        # parenteses to have the parameters typecasted before they're used in the constructor. Use i for Fixnum, f for Float,
+        # s for String, and a for Array.
+
+    This is incredibly useful for assigning dates from HTML drop-downs of month, year, and day.
+
+*   Fixed bug with custom primary key column name and Base.find on multiple parameters.
+
+*   Fixed bug with dependent option on has_one associations if there was no associated object.
+
+
+## 0.8.3 ##
+
+    _Transactions_
+*   Added transactional protection for destroy (important for the new :dependent option) *Suggested by Carl Youngblood*
+
+*   Fixed so transactions are ignored on MyISAM tables for MySQL (use InnoDB to get transactions)
+
+*   Changed transactions so only exceptions will cause a rollback, not returned false.
+
+
+    _Mapping_
+*   Added support for non-integer primary keys *Aredridel/earlier work by Michael Neumann*
+
+        User.find "jdoe"
+        Product.find "PDKEY-INT-12"
+
+*   Added option to specify naming method for primary key column. ActiveRecord::Base.primary_key_prefix_type can either
+    be set to nil, :table_name, or :table_name_with_underscore. :table_name will assume that Product class has a primary key
+    of "productid" and :table_name_with_underscore will assume "product_id". The default nil will just give "id".
+
+*   Added an overwriteable primary_key method that'll instruct AR to the name of the
+    id column *Aredridele/earlier work by Guan Yang*
+
+        class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
+          def self.primary_key() "project_id" end
+        end
+
+*   Fixed that Active Records can safely associate inside and out of modules.
+
+        class MyApplication::Account < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :clients # will look for MyApplication::Client
+          has_many :interests, :class_name => "Business::Interest" # will look for Business::Interest
+        end
+
+*   Fixed that Active Records can safely live inside modules *Aredridel*
+
+        class MyApplication::Account < ActiveRecord::Base
+        end
+
+
+    _Misc_
+*   Added freeze call to value object assignments to ensure they remain immutable *Spotted by Gavin Sinclair*
+
+*   Changed interface for specifying observed class in observers. Was OBSERVED_CLASS constant, now is
+    observed_class() class method. This is more consistant with things like self.table_name(). Works like this:
+
+        class AuditObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
+          def self.observed_class() Account end
+          def after_update(account)
+            AuditTrail.new(account, "UPDATED")
+          end
+        end
+
+    *Suggested by Gavin Sinclair*
+
+*   Create new Active Record objects by setting the attributes through a block. Like this:
+
+        person = Person.new do |p|
+          p.name = 'Freddy'
+          p.age  = 19
+        end
+
+    *Suggested by Gavin Sinclair*
+
+
+## 0.8.2 ##
+
+*   Added inheritable callback queues that can ensure that certain callback methods or inline fragments are
+    run throughout the entire inheritance hierarchy. Regardless of whether a descendant overwrites the callback
+    method:
+
+        class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
+          before_destroy :destroy_author, 'puts "I'm an inline fragment"'
+        end
+
+    Learn more in link:classes/ActiveRecord/Callbacks.html
+
+*   Added :dependent option to has_many and has_one, which will automatically destroy associated objects when
+    the holder is destroyed:
+
+        class Album < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :tracks, :dependent => true
+        end
+
+    All the associated tracks are destroyed when the album is.
+
+*   Added Base.create as a factory that'll create, save, and return a new object in one step.
+
+*   Automatically convert strings in config hashes to symbols for the _connection methods. This allows you
+    to pass the argument hashes directly from yaml. (Luke)
+
+*   Fixed the install.rb to include simple.rb *Spotted by Kevin Bullock*
+
+*   Modified block syntax to better follow our code standards outlined in
+    http://www.rubyonrails.org/CodingStandards
+
+
+## 0.8.1 ##
+
+*   Added object-level transactions *Austin Ziegler*
+
+*   Changed adapter-specific connection methods to use centralized ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection,
+    which is parametized through a config hash with symbol keys instead of a regular parameter list.
+    This will allow for database connections to be opened in a more generic fashion. (Luke)
+
+    NOTE: This requires all *_connections to be updated! Read more in:
+    http://ar.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html#M000081
+
+*   Fixed SQLite adapter so objects fetched from has_and_belongs_to_many have proper attributes
+    (t.name is now name). *Spotted by Garrett Rooney*
+
+*   Fixed SQLite adapter so dates are returned as Date objects, not Time objects *Spotted by Gavin Sinclair*
+
+*   Fixed requirement of date class, so date conversions are succesful regardless of whether you
+    manually require date or not.
+
+
+## 0.8.0 ##
+
+*   Added transactions
+
+*   Changed Base.find to also accept either a list (1, 5, 6) or an array of ids ([5, 7])
+    as parameter and then return an array of objects instead of just an object
+
+*   Fixed method has_collection? for has_and_belongs_to_many macro to behave as a
+    collection, not an association
+
+*   Fixed SQLite adapter so empty or nil values in columns of datetime, date, or time type
+    aren't treated as current time *Spotted by Gavin Sinclair*
+
+
+## 0.7.6 ##
+
+*   Fixed the install.rb to create the lib/active_record/support directory *Spotted by Gavin Sinclair*
+*   Fixed that has_association? would always return true *Daniel Von Fange*

-      # * +attr_name+ - The field name that should be serialized.
-      # * +class_name+ - Optional, class name that the object type should be equal to.
-      #
-      # ==== Example
-      #   # Serialize a preferences attribute
-      #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     serialize :preferences
-      #   end
-      def serialize(attr_name, class_name = Object)
-        coder = if [:load, :dump].all? { |x| class_name.respond_to?(x) }
-                  class_name
-                else
-                  Coders::YAMLColumn.new(class_name)
-                end
-
-        # merge new serialized attribute and create new hash to ensure that each class in inheritance hierarchy
-        # has its own hash of own serialized attributes
-        self.serialized_attributes = serialized_attributes.merge(attr_name.to_s => coder)
-      end
-
-      # Guesses the table name (in forced lower-case) based on the name of the class in the
-      # inheritance hierarchy descending directly from ActiveRecord::Base. So if the hierarchy
-      # looks like: Reply < Message < ActiveRecord::Base, then Message is used
-      # to guess the table name even when called on Reply. The rules used to do the guess
-      # are handled by the Inflector class in Active Support, which knows almost all common
-      # English inflections. You can add new inflections in config/initializers/inflections.rb.
-      #
-      # Nested classes are given table names prefixed by the singular form of
-      # the parent's table name. Enclosing modules are not considered.
-      #
-      # ==== Examples
-      #
-      #   class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #   end
-      #
-      #   file                  class               table_name
-      #   invoice.rb            Invoice             invoices
-      #
-      #   class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     class Lineitem < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     end
-      #   end
-      #
-      #   file                  class               table_name
-      #   invoice.rb            Invoice::Lineitem   invoice_lineitems
-      #
-      #   module Invoice

-      #
-      #   file                  class               table_name
-      #   invoice/lineitem.rb   Invoice::Lineitem   lineitems
-      #
-      # Additionally, the class-level +table_name_prefix+ is prepended and the
-      # +table_name_suffix+ is appended. So if you have "myapp_" as a prefix,
-      # the table name guess for an Invoice class becomes "myapp_invoices".
-      # Invoice::Lineitem becomes "myapp_invoice_lineitems".
-      #

-      # you can invoke <tt>Shirt.red.first</tt>, <tt>Shirt.red.count</tt>, <tt>Shirt.red.where(:size => 'small')</tt>.
-      # Also, just as with the association objects, named \scopes act like an Array, implementing Enumerable;
-      # <tt>Shirt.red.each(&block)</tt>, <tt>Shirt.red.first</tt>, and <tt>Shirt.red.inject(memo, &block)</tt>
-      # all behave as if Shirt.red really was an Array.
-      #
-      # These named \scopes are composable. For instance, <tt>Shirt.red.dry_clean_only</tt> will produce
-      # all shirts that are both red and dry clean only.
-      # Nested finds and calculations also work with these compositions: <tt>Shirt.red.dry_clean_only.count</tt>
-      # returns the number of garments for which these criteria obtain. Similarly with
-      # <tt>Shirt.red.dry_clean_only.average(:thread_count)</tt>.
-      #
-      # All \scopes are available as class methods on the ActiveRecord::Base descendant upon which
-      # the \scopes were defined. But they are also available to <tt>has_many</tt> associations. If,
-      #
-      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     has_many :shirts
-      #   end
-      #
-      # then <tt>elton.shirts.red.dry_clean_only</tt> will return all of Elton's red, dry clean
-      # only shirts.
-      #
-      # Named \scopes can also be procedural:
-      #
-      #   class Shirt < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     scope :colored, lambda { |color| where(:color => color) }
-      #   end
-      #
-      # In this example, <tt>Shirt.colored('puce')</tt> finds all puce shirts.
-      #
-      # On Ruby 1.9 you can use the 'stabby lambda' syntax:
-      #
-      #   scope :colored, ->(color) { where(:color => color) }
-      #
-      # Note that scopes defined with \scope will be evaluated when they are defined, rather than
-      # when they are used. For example, the following would be incorrect:
-      #
-      #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     scope :recent, where('published_at >= ?', Time.now - 1.week)
-      #   end
-      #
-      # The example above would be 'frozen' to the <tt>Time.now</tt> value when the <tt>Post</tt>
-      # class was defined, and so the resultant SQL query would always be the same. The correct
-      # way to do this would be via a lambda, which will re-evaluate the scope each time
-      # it is called:
-      #
-      #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     scope :recent, lambda { where('published_at >= ?', Time.now - 1.week) }
-      #   end
-      #
-      # Named \scopes can also have extensions, just as with <tt>has_many</tt> declarations:
-      #
-      #   class Shirt < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     scope :red, where(:color => 'red') do
-      #       def dom_id
-      #         'red_shirts'
-      #       end
-      #     end
-      #   end
-      #
-      # Scopes can also be used while creating/building a record.
-      #
-      #   class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     scope :published, where(:published => true)
-      #   end
-      #
-      #   Article.published.new.published    # => true
-      #   Article.published.create.published # => true
-      #
-      # Class methods on your model are automatically available
-      # on scopes. Assuming the following setup:
-      #
-      #   class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     scope :published, where(:published => true)
-      #     scope :featured, where(:featured => true)
-      #
-      #     def self.latest_article

-      #     end

+        # <tt>Shirt.red.dry_clean_only.average(:thread_count)</tt>.
+        #
+        # All \scopes are available as class methods on the ActiveRecord::Base descendant upon which
+        # the \scopes were defined. But they are also available to <tt>has_many</tt> associations. If,
+        #
+        #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+        #     has_many :shirts
+        #   end
+        #
+        # then <tt>elton.shirts.red.dry_clean_only</tt> will return all of Elton's red, dry clean
+        # only shirts.
+        #
+        # Named \scopes can also be procedural:
+        #
+        #   class Shirt < ActiveRecord::Base
+        #     scope :colored, lambda { |color| where(:color => color) }
+        #   end
+        #
+        # In this example, <tt>Shirt.colored('puce')</tt> finds all puce shirts.
+        #
+        # On Ruby 1.9 you can use the 'stabby lambda' syntax:
+        #
+        #   scope :colored, ->(color) { where(:color => color) }
+        #
+        # Note that scopes defined with \scope will be evaluated when they are defined, rather than
+        # when they are used. For example, the following would be incorrect:
+        #
+        #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+        #     scope :recent, where('published_at >= ?', Time.current - 1.week)
+        #   end
+        #
+        # The example above would be 'frozen' to the <tt>Time.current</tt> value when the <tt>Post</tt>
+        # class was defined, and so the resultant SQL query would always be the same. The correct
+        # way to do this would be via a lambda, which will re-evaluate the scope each time
+        # it is called:
+        #
+        #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+        #     scope :recent, lambda { where('published_at >= ?', Time.current - 1.week) }
+        #   end
+        #
+        # Named \scopes can also have extensions, just as with <tt>has_many</tt> declarations:
+        #
+        #   class Shirt < ActiveRecord::Base
+        #     scope :red, where(:color => 'red') do
+        #       def dom_id
+        #         'red_shirts'
+        #       end
+        #     end
+        #   end
+        #
+        # Scopes can also be used while creating/building a record.
+        #
+        #   class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
+        #     scope :published, where(:published => true)

-      ActiveResource::HttpMock.respond_to do |mock|
-        mock.get "/people/1.xml", {}, "<person><name>David</name></person>"
-      end
-
-    Now:
-      ActiveResource::HttpMock.respond_to.get "/people/1.xml", {}, "<person><name>David</name></person>"
-
-* Added ActiveResource.format= which defaults to :xml but can also be set to :json [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:

-
-* Handle string and symbol param keys when splitting params into prefix params and query params.
-
-    Comment.find(:all, :params => { :article_id => 5, :page => 2 }) or Comment.find(:all, :params => { 'article_id' => 5, :page => 2 })
-
-* Added find-one with symbol [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example: Person.find(:one, :from => :leader) # => GET /people/leader.xml
-
-* BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Changed the finder API to be more extensible with :params and more strict usage of scopes [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Changes:
-
-    Person.find(:all, :title => "CEO")      ...becomes: Person.find(:all, :params => { :title => "CEO" })
-    Person.find(:managers)                  ...becomes: Person.find(:all, :from => :managers)
-    Person.find("/companies/1/manager.xml") ...becomes: Person.find(:one, :from => "/companies/1/manager.xml")
-
-* Add support for setting custom headers per Active Resource model [Rick Olson]
-
-  class Project
-    headers['X-Token'] = 'foo'
-  end
-
-  # makes the GET request with the custom X-Token header
-  Project.find(:all)
-
-* Added find-by-path options to ActiveResource::Base.find [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    employees = Person.find(:all, :from => "/companies/1/people.xml") # => GET /companies/1/people.xml
-    manager   = Person.find("/companies/1/manager.xml")               # => GET /companies/1/manager.xml
-
-
-* Added support for using classes from within a single nested module [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    module Highrise
-      class Note < ActiveResource::Base
-        self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
-      end
-
-      class Comment < ActiveResource::Base
-        self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
-      end
-    end
-
-  assert_kind_of Highrise::Comment, Note.find(1).comments.first
-
-
-* Added load_attributes_from_response as a way of loading attributes from other responses than just create [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-    class Highrise::Task < ActiveResource::Base
-      def complete
-        load_attributes_from_response(post(:complete))
-      end
-    end
-
-  ...will set "done_at" when complete is called.
-
-
-* Added support for calling custom methods #6979 [rwdaigle]
-
-    Person.find(:managers)    # => GET /people/managers.xml
-    Kase.find(1).post(:close) # => POST /kases/1/close.xml
-
-* Remove explicit prefix_options parameter for ActiveResource::Base#initialize. [Rick Olson]
-  ActiveResource splits the prefix_options from it automatically.
-
-* Allow ActiveResource::Base.delete with custom prefix. [Rick Olson]
-
-* Add ActiveResource::Base#dup [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed constant warning when fetching the same object multiple times [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added that saves which get a body response (and not just a 201) will use that response to update themselves [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Disregard namespaces from the default element name, so Highrise::Person will just try to fetch from "/people", not "/highrise/people" [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Allow array and hash query parameters.  #7756 [Greg Spurrier]
-
-* Loading a resource preserves its prefix_options.  #7353 [Ryan Daigle]
-
-* Carry over the convenience of #create from ActiveRecord.  Closes #7340.  [Ryan Daigle]
-
-* Increase ActiveResource::Base test coverage.  Closes #7173, #7174 [Rich Collins]
-
-* Interpret 422 Unprocessable Entity as ResourceInvalid.  #7097 [dkubb]
-
-* Mega documentation patches. #7025, #7069 [rwdaigle]
-
-* Base.exists?(id, options) and Base#exists? check whether the resource is found.  #6970 [rwdaigle]
-
-* Query string support.  [untext, Jeremy Kemper]
-    # GET /forums/1/topics.xml?sort=created_at
-    Topic.find(:all, :forum_id => 1, :sort => 'created_at')
-
-* Base#==, eql?, and hash methods. == returns true if its argument is identical to self or if it's an instance of the same class, is not new?, and has the same id. eql? is an alias for ==. hash delegates to id.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Allow subclassed resources to share the site info [Rick Olson, Jeremy Kemper]
-d
-    class BeastResource < ActiveResource::Base
-      self.site = 'http://beast.caboo.se'
-    end
-
-    class Forum < BeastResource
-      # taken from BeastResource
-      # self.site = 'http://beast.caboo.se'
-    end
-
-    class Topic < BeastResource
-      self.site += '/forums/:forum_id'
-    end
-
-* Fix issues with ActiveResource collection handling.  Closes #6291. [bmilekic]
-
-* Use attr_accessor_with_default to dry up attribute initialization. References #6538. [Stuart Halloway]
-
-* Add basic logging support for logging outgoing requests. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Add Base.delete for deleting resources without having to instantiate them first. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Make #save behavior mimic AR::Base#save (true on success, false on failure). [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Add Basic HTTP Authentication to ActiveResource (closes #6305). [jonathan]
-
-* Extracted #id_from_response as an entry point for customizing how a created resource gets its own ID.
-  By default, it extracts from the Location response header.
-
-* Optimistic locking: raise ActiveResource::ResourceConflict on 409 Conflict response. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-    # Example controller action
-    def update
-      @person.save!
-    rescue ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError
-      render :xml => @person.reload.to_xml, :status => '409 Conflict'
-    end
-
-* Basic validation support [Rick Olson]
-
-  Parses the xml response of ActiveRecord::Errors#to_xml with a similar interface to ActiveRecord::Errors.
-
-    render :xml => @person.errors.to_xml, :status => '400 Validation Error'
-
-* Deep hashes are converted into collections of resources.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-    Person.new :name => 'Bob',
-               :address => { :id => 1, :city => 'Portland' },
-               :contacts => [{ :id => 1 }, { :id => 2 }]
-  Looks for Address and Contact resources and creates them if unavailable.
-  So clients can fetch a complex resource in a single request if you e.g.
-    render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include => [:address, :contacts])
-  in your controller action.
-
-* Major updates [Rick Olson]
-
-  * Add full support for find/create/update/destroy
-  * Add support for specifying prefixes.
-  * Allow overriding of element_name, collection_name, and primary key
-  * Provide simpler HTTP mock interface for testing

+            mock.get "/people/1.xml", {}, "<person><name>David</name></person>"
+          end
+
+        Now:
+          ActiveResource::HttpMock.respond_to.get "/people/1.xml", {}, "<person><name>David</name></person>"
+
+*   Added ActiveResource.format= which defaults to :xml but can also be set to :json [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:

+        class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+          self.site   = "http://app/"

+
+*   Fix reload error when path prefix is used.  #8727 *Ian Warshak*

+*   Fix query methods on resources. *Cody Fauser*
+
+*   pass the prefix_options to the instantiated record when using find without a specific id. Closes #8544 *Eloy Duran*
+
+*   Recognize and raise an exception on 405 Method Not Allowed responses.  #7692 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Handle string and symbol param keys when splitting params into prefix params and query params.
+
+        Comment.find(:all, :params => { :article_id => 5, :page => 2 }) or Comment.find(:all, :params => { 'article_id' => 5, :page => 2 })
+
+*   Added find-one with symbol [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example: Person.find(:one, :from => :leader) # => GET /people/leader.xml
+
+*   BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Changed the finder API to be more extensible with :params and more strict usage of scopes [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Changes:
+
+        Person.find(:all, :title => "CEO")      ...becomes: Person.find(:all, :params => { :title => "CEO" })
+        Person.find(:managers)                  ...becomes: Person.find(:all, :from => :managers)
+        Person.find("/companies/1/manager.xml") ...becomes: Person.find(:one, :from => "/companies/1/manager.xml")
+
+*   Add support for setting custom headers per Active Resource model *Rick Olson*
+
+    class Project
+        headers['X-Token'] = 'foo'
+    end
+
+    \# makes the GET request with the custom X-Token header
+    Project.find(:all)
+
+*   Added find-by-path options to ActiveResource::Base.find [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
+
+        employees = Person.find(:all, :from => "/companies/1/people.xml") # => GET /companies/1/people.xml
+        manager   = Person.find("/companies/1/manager.xml")               # => GET /companies/1/manager.xml
+
+
+*   Added support for using classes from within a single nested module [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        module Highrise
+          class Note < ActiveResource::Base
+            self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
+          end
+
+          class Comment < ActiveResource::Base
+            self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
+          end
+        end
+
+    assert_kind_of Highrise::Comment, Note.find(1).comments.first
+
+
+*   Added load_attributes_from_response as a way of loading attributes from other responses than just create *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+        class Highrise::Task < ActiveResource::Base
+          def complete
+            load_attributes_from_response(post(:complete))
+          end
+        end
+
+    ...will set "done_at" when complete is called.
+
+
+*   Added support for calling custom methods #6979 *rwdaigle*
+
+        Person.find(:managers)    # => GET /people/managers.xml
+        Kase.find(1).post(:close) # => POST /kases/1/close.xml
+
+*   Remove explicit prefix_options parameter for ActiveResource::Base#initialize. *Rick Olson*
+    ActiveResource splits the prefix_options from it automatically.
+
+*   Allow ActiveResource::Base.delete with custom prefix. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Add ActiveResource::Base#dup *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed constant warning when fetching the same object multiple times *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added that saves which get a body response (and not just a 201) will use that response to update themselves *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Disregard namespaces from the default element name, so Highrise::Person will just try to fetch from "/people", not "/highrise/people" *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Allow array and hash query parameters.  #7756 *Greg Spurrier*
+
+*   Loading a resource preserves its prefix_options.  #7353 *Ryan Daigle*
+
+*   Carry over the convenience of #create from ActiveRecord.  Closes #7340.  *Ryan Daigle*
+
+*   Increase ActiveResource::Base test coverage.  Closes #7173, #7174 *Rich Collins*
+
+*   Interpret 422 Unprocessable Entity as ResourceInvalid.  #7097 *dkubb*
+
+*   Mega documentation patches. #7025, #7069 *rwdaigle*
+
+*   Base.exists?(id, options) and Base#exists? check whether the resource is found.  #6970 *rwdaigle*
+
+*   Query string support.  *untext, Jeremy Kemper*
+        # GET /forums/1/topics.xml?sort=created_at
+        Topic.find(:all, :forum_id => 1, :sort => 'created_at')
+
+*   Base#==, eql?, and hash methods. == returns true if its argument is identical to self or if it's an instance of the same class, is not new?, and has the same id. eql? is an alias for ==. hash delegates to id.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Allow subclassed resources to share the site info *Rick Olson, Jeremy Kemper*
+    d        class BeastResource < ActiveResource::Base
+          self.site = 'http://beast.caboo.se'
+        end
+
+        class Forum < BeastResource
+          # taken from BeastResource
+          # self.site = 'http://beast.caboo.se'
+        end
+
+        class Topic < BeastResource
+          self.site += '/forums/:forum_id'
+        end
+
+*   Fix issues with ActiveResource collection handling.  Closes #6291. *bmilekic*
+
+*   Use attr_accessor_with_default to dry up attribute initialization. References #6538. *Stuart Halloway*
+
+*   Add basic logging support for logging outgoing requests. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Add Base.delete for deleting resources without having to instantiate them first. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Make #save behavior mimic AR::Base#save (true on success, false on failure). *Jamis Buck*

+          render :xml => @person.reload.to_xml, :status => '409 Conflict'
+        end
+
+*   Basic validation support *Rick Olson*
+
+    Parses the xml response of ActiveRecord::Errors#to_xml with a similar interface to ActiveRecord::Errors.
+
+        render :xml => @person.errors.to_xml, :status => '400 Validation Error'
+
+*   Deep hashes are converted into collections of resources.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+        Person.new :name => 'Bob',

+                   :contacts => [{ :id => 1 }, { :id => 2 }]

-  # * putting the credentials in the URL for the +site+ variable.
+  # Basic authentication simply sends a username and password along with HTTP

+  # Digest authentication sends a crytographic hash of the username, password,

-*Rails 3.2.0 (unreleased)*
-
-* Module#qualified_const_(defined?|get|set) are analogous to the corresponding methods
-  in the standard API, but accept qualified constant names. [fxn]
-

-
-* Removed Object#returning, Object#tap should be used instead. [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Deprecation behavior is no longer hardcoded to the name of the environment.
-  Instead, it is set via config.active_support.deprecation and can be one

-  [Yehuda Katz]
-

-
-* Deprecate {{}} as interpolation syntax for I18n in favor of %{} [José Valim]
-
-* Array#to_xml is more powerful and able to handle the same types as Hash#to_xml #4490 [Neeraj Singh]
-
-* Harmonize the caching API and refactor the backends.  #4452 [Brian Durand]
-  All caches:
-  * Add default options to initializer that will be sent to all read, write, fetch, exist?, increment, and decrement
-  * Add support for the :expires_in option to fetch and write for all caches. Cache entries are stored with the create timestamp and a ttl so that expiration can be handled independently of the implementation.
-  * Add support for a :namespace option. This can be used to set a global prefix for cache entries.
-  * Deprecate expand_cache_key on ActiveSupport::Cache and move it to ActionController::Caching and ActionDispatch::Http::Cache since the logic in the method used some Rails specific environment variables and was only used by ActionPack classes. Not very DRY but there didn't seem to be a good shared spot and ActiveSupport really shouldn't be Rails specific.
-  * Add support for :race_condition_ttl to fetch. This setting can prevent race conditions on fetch calls where several processes try to regenerate a recently expired entry at once.
-  * Add support for :compress option to fetch and write which will compress any data over a configurable threshold.
-  * Nil values can now be stored in the cache and are distinct from cache misses for fetch.
-  * Easier API to create new implementations. Just need to implement the methods read_entry, write_entry, and delete_entry instead of overwriting existing methods.
-  * Since all cache implementations support storing objects, update the docs to state that ActiveCache::Cache::Store implementations should store objects. Keys, however, must be strings since some implementations require that.
-  * Increase test coverage.
-  * Document methods which are provided as convenience but which may not be universally available.
-
-  MemoryStore:
-  * MemoryStore can now safely be used as the cache for single server sites.
-  * Make thread safe so that the default cache implementation used by Rails is thread safe. The overhead is minimal and it is still the fastest store available.
-  * Provide :size initialization option indicating the maximum size of the cache in memory (defaults to 32Mb).
-  * Add prune logic that removes the least recently used cache entries to keep the cache size from exceeding the max.
-  * Deprecated SynchronizedMemoryStore since it isn't needed anymore.
-
-  FileStore:
-  * Escape key values so they will work as file names on all file systems, be consistent, and case sensitive
-  * Use a hash algorithm to segment the cache into sub directories so that a large cache doesn't exceed file system limits.
-  * FileStore can be slow so implement the LocalCache strategy to cache reads for the duration of a request.
-  * Add cleanup method to keep the disk from filling up with expired entries.
-  * Fix increment and decrement to use file system locks so they are consistent between processes.
-
-  MemCacheStore:
-  * Support all keys. Previously keys with spaces in them would fail
-  * Deprecate CompressedMemCacheStore since it isn't needed anymore (use :compress => true)
-
-* JSON: encode objects that don't have a native JSON representation using to_hash, if available, instead of instance_values (the old fallback) or to_s (other encoders' default). Encode BigDecimal and Regexp encode as strings to conform with other encoders. Try to transcode non-UTF-8 strings.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* HashWithIndifferentAccess: remove inherited symbolize_keys! since its keys are always strings.  [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Improve transliteration quality.  #4374 [Norman Clarke]
-
-* Speed up and add Ruby 1.9 support for ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars#tidy_bytes.  #4350 [Norman Clarke]
-
-* Reduced load time by deferring configuration of classes using
-  ActiveSupport::on_load(:component_name) [YK]
-
-* Rename #metaclass to #singleton_class now that ruby-core has decided [JK]
-
-* New assertions assert_blank and assert_present.  #4299 [Juanjo Bazan]
-
-* Use Object#singleton_class instead of #metaclass. Prefer Ruby's choice.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* JSON backend for YAJL. Preferred if available.  #2666 [Brian Lopez]
-
-* Introduce class_attribute to declare inheritable class attributes. Writing an attribute on a subclass behaves just like overriding the superclass reader method.  Unifies and replaces most usage of cattr_accessor, class_inheritable_attribute, superclass_delegating_attribute, and extlib_inheritable_attribute.  [Jeremy Kemper, Yehuda Katz]
-
-* Time#- with a DateTime argument behaves the same as with a Time argument, i.e. returns the difference between self and arg as a Float #3476 [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* YAML serialization for OrderedHash.  #3608 [Gregor Schmidt]
-
-* Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.16 [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Georgetown TimeZone is now mapped to "America/Guyana" instead of "America/Argentina/San_Juan" #1821 [Geoff Buesing, Reuben Sivan]
-
-* Changed the default ActiveSupport.use_standard_json_time_format from false to true and
-ActiveSupport.escape_html_entities_in_json from true to false to match previously announced Rails 3 defaults [DHH]
-
-* Added Object#presence that returns the object if it's #present? otherwise returns nil [DHH/Colin Kelley]
-
-* Add Enumerable#exclude? to bring parity to Enumerable#include? and avoid if !x.include?/else calls [DHH]
-
-* Update Edinburgh TimeZone to use "Europe/London" instead of "Europe/Dublin" #3310 [Phil Ross]
-
-* Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.15 [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* JSON: +Object#to_json+ calls +as_json+ to coerce itself into something natively encodable like +Hash+, +Integer+, or +String+. Override +as_json+ instead of +to_json+ so you're JSON library agnostic.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* String #to_time and #to_datetime: handle fractional seconds #864 [Jason Frey]
-
-* Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.13 [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Allow MemCacheStore to be initialized with a MemCache-like object instead of addresses and options [Bryan Helmkamp]
-
-* Change spelling of Kyev timezone to Kyiv #2613 [Alexander Dymo]
-
-* Add ActiveSupport.parse_json_times to disable time parsing in JSON backends that don't support it or don't need it. [rick]
-
-* Add pluggable JSON backends with support for the JSON gem. [rick]
-    Example: ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
-
- All internal Rails JSON encoding is now handled by ActiveSupport::JSON.encode().  Use of #to_json is not recommended, as it may clash with other libraries that overwrite it.  However, you can recover Rails specific functionality
- if you really want to use #to_json.
-
-    gem 'json'
-    ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
-
-    class ActiveRecord::Base
-      alias to_json rails_to_json
-    end
-
-* require 'active_support' no longer orders the whole menu of core extensions. Ask for just what you need: e.g. require 'active_support/core/time' to use timezones, durations, and stdlib date/time extensions. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Removed rarely-used DRb cache store.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* TimeWithZone.name returns 'Time', to further thwart type checking [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Time.local instances: Adding 24.hours across the DST boundary adds 24 hours instead of one day #2066 [Michael Curtis]
-
-
-*2.3.2 [Final] (March 15, 2009)*
-
-* XmlMini supports LibXML and Nokogiri backends.  #2084, #2190 [Bart ten Brinke, Aaron Patterson]
-    Example: XmlMini.backend = 'Nokogiri'
-
-* Vendorize i18n 0.1.3 gem (fixes issues with incompatible character encodings in Ruby 1.9) #2038 [Akira Matsuda]
-
-* Update bundled memcache-client from 1.5.0.5 to 1.6.4.99. See http://www.mikeperham.com/2009/02/15/memcache-client-performance/  [Mike Perham]
-
-* Ruby 1.9.1p0 fix: URI.unescape can decode multibyte chars.  #2033 [MOROHASHI Kyosuke]
-
-* Time#to_s(:rfc822) uses #formatted_offset instead of unreliable and non-standard %z directive #1899 [Zachary Zolton]
-
-* Make TimeWithZone#to_formatted_s an alias to TimeWithZone#to_s #1796 [Levin Alexander]
-
-* Introduce Array.wrap(foo) to wrap the argument in an array unless it's already an array. Wraps nil as an empty array. Use instead of Array(foo) and foo.to_a since they treat String as Enumerable.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* TimeWithZone#xmlschema accepts optional fraction_digits argument [#1725 state:resolved] [Nicholas Dainty]
-
-* Object#tap shim for Ruby < 1.8.7. Similar to Object#returning, tap yields self then returns self.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-    array.select { ... }.tap(&:inspect).map { ... }
-
-* TimeWithZone#- gives correct result with wrapped DateTime, and with DateTime argument [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Updated i18n gem to version 0.1.1 #1635 [Yaroslav Markin]

-
-* Multibyte: add multibyte-safe Chars#ord rather than falling back to String#ord.  #1483 [Jason Cheow]
-
-* I18n support for Array#to_sentence. Introduces support.array.words_connector, .two_words_connector, and .last_word_connector translation keys.  #1397 [Akira Matsuda]

-* Fix Ruby's Time marshaling bug in pre-1.9 versions of Ruby: utc instances are now correctly unmarshaled with a utc zone instead of the system local zone [#900 state:resolved] [Luca Guidi, Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Add Array#in_groups which splits or iterates over the array in specified number of groups. #579. [Adrian Mugnolo] Example:
-
-  a = (1..10).to_a
-  a.in_groups(3)        # => [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, nil], [8, 9, 10, nil]]
-  a.in_groups(3, false) # => [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7], [8, 9, 10]]
-
-* Fix TimeWithZone unmarshaling: coerce unmarshaled Time instances to utc, because Ruby's marshaling of Time instances doesn't respect the zone [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Added Memoizable mixin for caching simple lazy loaded attributes [Josh Peek]
-
-* Move the test related core_ext stuff out of core_ext so it's only loaded by the test helpers.  [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Add Inflection rules for String#humanize. #535 [Dan Manges]
-
-  ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
-    inflect.human(/_cnt$/i, '\1_count')
-  end
-
-  'jargon_cnt'.humanize # => 'Jargon count'
-
-* TimeWithZone: when crossing DST boundary, treat Durations of days, months or years as variable-length, and all other values as absolute length. A time + 24.hours will advance exactly 24 hours, but a time + 1.day will advance 23-25 hours, depending on the day. Ensure consistent behavior across all advancing methods [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Added TimeZone #=~, to support matching zones by regex in time_zone_select. #195 [Ernie Miller]

-
-* Fixed Date#end_of_quarter to not blow up on May 31st [#289 state:resolved] (Danger)
-
-
-*2.1.0 (May 31st, 2008)*
-
-* TimeZone#to_s shows offset as GMT instead of UTC, because GMT will be more familiar to end users (see time zone selects used by Windows OS, google.com and yahoo.com.) Reverts [8370] [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Hash.from_xml: datetime xml types overflow to Ruby DateTime class when out of range of Time. Adding tests for utc offsets [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* TimeWithZone #+ and #- : ensure overflow to DateTime with Numeric arg [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Time#to_json: don't convert to utc before encoding. References #175 [Geoff Buesing]

-
-* Adding Date.current, which returns Time.zone.today if config.time_zone is set; otherwise returns Date.today [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* TimeWithZone: date part getter methods (#year #mon #day etc) are defined on class; no longer relying on method_missing [Geoff Buesing]
-

-* Time.zone.parse respects offset information in string. Resolves #105. [Scott Fleckenstein, Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Added Ruby 1.8 implementation of Process.daemon
-
-* Duration #since and #ago with no argument (e.g., 5.days.ago) return TimeWithZone when config.time_zone is set. Introducing Time.current, which returns Time.zone.now if config.time_zone is set, otherwise just returns Time.now [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Time#since behaves correctly when passed a Duration. Closes #11527 [kemiller]
-
-* Add #getutc alias for DateTime#utc [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Refactor TimeWithZone: don't send #since, #ago, #+, #-, #advance through method_missing [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* TimeWithZone respects config.active_support.use_standard_json_time_format [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Add config.active_support.escape_html_entities_in_json to allow disabling of html entity escaping.  [Rick Olson]
-
-* Improve documentation. [Xavier Noria]
-
-* Modified ActiveSupport::Callbacks::Callback#call to accept multiple arguments.
-

-
-* Time #in_current_time_zone and #change_time_zone_to_current return self when Time.zone is nil [Geoff Buesing]

-
-* Tighten rescue clauses.  #5985 [james@grayproductions.net]
-
-* Inflections: don't singularize -ies plurals.  [foamdino@gmail.com, Mark Van Holstyn]
-
-* Update Initializer to use load_once_paths to avoid plugin reloading. References #5852. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Use Array#assoc in ActiveSupport::OrderedHash. [Mauricio Fernandez]
-
-* Greatly increased performance of String.to_json, which speeds up RJS considerably on large pages, fixes #3473 [Shugo Maeda]
-
-* Detect missing_constants calls from removed modules and fail accordingly. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Stop using defined? in Dependencies.qualified_const_defined? since defined? may invoke const_missing. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Dependencies can autoload directories of nested classes. [Jeremy Kemper]
-    Example:
-      invoice.rb            class Invoice
-      invoice/lineitem.rb   class Invoice::Lineitem
-
-* Add Deprecation.silence so that Reloadable does not scold itself. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Add debugging logging to Dependencies. Currently can be enabled with Dependencies.log_activity = true; adding to Initializer and documenting is forthcoming. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Replace Reloadable with improvements to the Dependencies mechanism. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* DateTime#to_time gives hour/minute/second resolution.  #5747 [jon.evans@pobox.com]
-
-* attr_internal to support namespacing and deprecation. Like attr_* except backed by internally-named instance variable. Set attr_internal_naming_format to change the format from the default '@_%s'. [Jeremy Kemper]
-    # def foo()   @foo__rofl      end
-    # def foo=(v) @foo__rofl = v  end
-    self.attr_internal_naming_format = '@%s__rofl'
-    attr_internal :foo
-
-* Raise fully qualified names upon name errors. #5533 [Lars Pind, Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Add extention to obtain the missing constant from NameError instances. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Thoroughly document inflections.  #5700 [petermichaux@gmail.com]
-
-* Added Module#alias_attribute [Jamis/David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    class Content < ActiveRecord::Base
-      # has a title attribute
-    end
-
-    class Email < ActiveRecord::Base
-      alias_attribute :subject, :title
-    end
-
-    e = Email.find(1)
-    e.title    # => "Superstars"
-    e.subject  # => "Superstars"
-    e.subject? # => true
-    e.subject = "Megastars"
-    e.title    # => "Megastars"
-
-* Deprecation: easier to work with warning behavior as procs; default behaviors for each environment so users needn't update env.rb; and testing pleasure with assert_deprecated, assert_not_deprecated. [Jeremy Kemper]
-  By default, test prints to $stderr, dev logs, production ignores.
-  Provide your own per-environment in e.g. config/environments/development.rb:
-    ActiveSupport::Deprecation.behavior = Proc.new { |message| raise message }
-
-* First cut of the Rails Deprecation system.   [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Strip boolean XML content before checking for 'true' [Rick Olson]
-
-* Customize default BigDecimal formatting. References #5672 [Dave Thomas]
-

-
-* Fixed HashWithIndifferentAccess#default #5586 [chris@seagul.co.uk]
-
-* More compatible Hash.create_from_xml. #5523 [nunemaker@gmail.com]
-
-* Added Enumerable#sum for calculating a sum from the elements [David Heinemeier Hansson, jonathan@daikini.com]. Examples:
-
-    [1, 2, 3].sum
-    payments.sum { |p| p.price * p.tax_rate }
-    payments.sum(&:price)
-
-  This is instead of payments.inject(0) { |sum, p| sum + p.price }
-
-* Correct and clarify Array#to_sentence docs.  #5458 [brad@madriska.com]
-
-* alias_method_chain preserves method punctuation so foo, foo?, and foo! may be chained with the same feature. [Jeremy Kemper]
-    Example:
-      alias_method_chain :save!, :validation
-    is equivalent to
-      alias_method :save_without_validation!, :save!
-      alias_method :save!, :save_with_validation!
-
-* Enhance Symbol#to_proc so it works with list objects, such as multi-dimensional arrays. Closes #5295 [nov@yo.rim.or.jp].  Example:
-
-    {1 => "one", 2 => "two", 3 => "three"}.sort_by(&:first).map(&:last)
-    # => ["one", "two", "three"]
-
-* Added Hash.create_from_xml(string) which will create a hash from a XML string and even typecast if possible [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    Hash.create_from_xml <<-EOT
-      <note>
-        <title>This is a note</title>
-        <created-at type="date">2004-10-10</created-at>
-      </note>
-    EOT
-
-  ...would return:
-
-    { :note => { :title => "This is a note", :created_at => Date.new(2004, 10, 10) } }
-
-* Added Jim Weirich's excellent FlexMock class to vendor (Copyright 2003, 2004 by Jim Weirich (jim@weriichhouse.org)) -- it's not automatically required, though, so require 'flexmock' is still necessary [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed that Module#alias_method_chain should work with both foo? foo! and foo at the same time #4954 [anna@wota.jp]
-
-* to_xml fixes, features, and speedup: introduce :dasherize option that converts updated_at to updated-at if true (the existing default); binary columns get encoding="base64" attribute; nil values get nil="true" attribute to distinguish empty values; add type information for float columns; allow arbitrarily deep :include; include SQL type information as the type attribute.  #4989 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* Add OrderedHash#values. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Added Array#to_s(:db) that'll produce a comma-separated list of ids [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    Purchase.find(:all, :conditions => "product_id IN (#{shops.products.to_s(:db)})"
-
-* Normalize classify's argument to a String so that it plays nice with Symbols. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Strip out leading schema name in classify. References #5139. [Michael Schoen]
-
-* Remove Enumerable#first_match since break(value) handles the use case well enough. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-  Enumerable#first_match was like detect, but instead of returning the matching element, the yielded value returned. For example:
-
-    user_xml = adapters(:from => User, :to => Xml).first_match do |adapter|
-      adapter.adapt @user
-    end
-
-  But this is just as easily done with:
-
-    user_xml = adapters(:from => User, :to => Xml).each do
-      break adapter.adapt(@user)
-    end
-
-* Make Array#in_groups_of just return the grouped collection if a block isn't given. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Don't destroy a HashWithIndifferentAccess if symbolize_keys! or  stringify_keys! is called on it. Closes #5076. [Marcel Molina Jr., guy.naor@famundo.com]
-
-* Document Module::delegate. #5002 [pergesu@gmail.com]
-
-* Replace alias method chaining with Module#alias_method_chain. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Strip out punctuation on predicates or bang methods being aliased with alias_method_chain since target?_without_feature is not a valid method name. Add tests for Module#alias_method_chain. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Replace Ruby's deprecated append_features in favor of included. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Allow default options in with_options to be overridden. Closes #4480. [murphy@cYcnus.de]
-
-* Added Module#alias_method_chain [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Updated to Builder 2.0 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Add Array#split for dividing arrays into one or more subarrays by value or block. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-*1.3.1* (April 6th, 2006)
-
-* Clean paths inside of exception messages and traces. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Add Pathname.clean_within for cleaning all the paths inside of a string. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* provide an empty Dependencies::LoadingModule.load which prints deprecation warnings.  Lets 1.0 applications function with .13-style environment.rb.
-
-
-*1.3.0* (March 27th, 2006)
-
-* When possible, avoid incorrectly obtaining constants from parent modules. Fixes #4221. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Add more tests for dependencies; refactor existing cases. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Move Module#parent and Module#as_load_path into core_ext. Add Module#parent. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Add CachingTools::HashCaching to simplify the creation of nested, autofilling hashes. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Remove a hack intended to avoid unloading the same class twice, but which would not work anyways. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Update Object.subclasses_of to locate nested classes. This affects Object.remove_subclasses_of in that nested classes will now be unloaded. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Update Object.remove_subclasses_of to use Class.remove_class, reducing duplication. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added Fixnum#seconds for consistency, so you can say 5.minutes + 30.seconds instead of 5.minutes + 30 #4389 [François Beausoleil]
-
-* Added option to String#camelize to generate lower-cased camel case by passing in :lower, like "super_man".camelize(:lower) # => "superMan" [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added Hash#diff to show the difference between two hashes [Chris McGrath]
-
-* Added Time#advance to do precise time time calculations for cases where a month being approximated to 30 days won't do #1860 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Enhance Inflector.underscore to convert '-' into '_' (as the inverse of Inflector.dasherize) [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Switched to_xml to use the xml schema format for datetimes.  This allows the encoding of time zones and should improve operability. [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Added a note to the documentation for the Date related Numeric extensions to indicate that they're
-approximations and shouldn't be used for critical calculations. [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Added Hash#to_xml and Array#to_xml that makes it much easier to produce XML from basic structures [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    { :name => "David", :street_name => "Paulina", :age => 26, :moved_on => Date.new(2005, 11, 15) }.to_xml
-
-  ...returns:
-
-      <person>
-        <street-name>Paulina</street-name>
-        <name>David</name>
-        <age type="integer">26</age>
-        <moved-on type="date">2005-11-15</moved-on>
-      </person>
-
-* Moved Jim Weirich's wonderful Builder from Action Pack to Active Support (it's simply too useful to be stuck in AP) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed that Array#to_sentence will return "" on an empty array instead of ", and" #3842, #4031 [rubyonrails@beautifulpixel.com]
-
-* Add Enumerable#group_by for grouping collections based on the result of some
-  block. Useful, for example, for grouping records by date.
-
-  ex.
-
-     latest_transcripts.group_by(&:day).each do |day, transcripts|
-       p "#{day} -> #{transcripts.map(&:class) * ', '}"
-     end
-     "2006-03-01 -> Transcript"
-     "2006-02-28 -> Transcript"
-     "2006-02-27 -> Transcript, Transcript"
-     "2006-02-26 -> Transcript, Transcript"
-
-  Add Array#in_groups_of, for iterating over an array in groups of a certain
-  size.
-
-  ex.
-
-     %w(1 2 3 4 5 6 7).in_groups_of(3) {|g| p g}
-     ["1", "2", "3"]
-     ["4", "5", "6"]
-     ["7", nil, nil]
-
-  [Marcel Molina Jr., Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Added Kernel#daemonize to turn the current process into a daemon that can be killed with a TERM signal [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Add 'around' methods to Logger,  to make it easy to log before and after messages for a given block as requested in #3809. [Michael Koziarski]  Example:
-
-  logger.around_info("Start rendering component (#{options.inspect}): ",
-                     "\n\nEnd of component rendering") { yield }
-
-* Added Time#beginning_of_quarter #3607 [cohen.jeff@gmail.com]
-
-* Fix Object.subclasses_of to only return currently defined objects [Jonathan Viney <jonathan@bluewire.net.nz>]
-
-* Fix constantize to properly handle names beginning with '::'. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Make String#last return the string instead of nil when it is shorter than the limit [Scott Barron].
-
-* Added delegation support to Module that allows multiple delegations at once (unlike Forwardable in the stdlib) [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
-
-    class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
-      has_one :subscription
-      delegate :free?, :paying?, :to => :subscription
-      delegate :overdue?, :to => "subscription.last_payment"
-    end
-
-    account.free?    # => account.subscription.free?
-    account.overdue? # => account.subscription.last_payment.overdue?
-
-* Fix Reloadable to handle the case where a class that has been 'removed' has not yet been garbage collected. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Don't allow Reloadable to be included into Modules.
-
-* Remove LoadingModule. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Add documentation for Reloadable::Subclasses. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Add Reloadable::Subclasses which handles the common case where a base class should not be reloaded, but its subclasses should be. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Further improvements to reloading code [Nicholas Seckar, Trevor Squires]
-
-  - All classes/modules which include Reloadable can define reloadable? for fine grained control of reloading
-  - Class.remove_class uses Module#parent to access the parent module
-  - Class.remove_class expanded to handle multiple classes in a single call
-  - LoadingModule.clear! has been removed as it is no longer required
-  - Module#remove_classes_including has been removed in favor of Reloadable.reloadable_classes
-
-* Added reusable reloading support through the inclusion of the Relodable module that all subclasses of ActiveRecord::Base, ActiveRecord::Observer, ActiveController::Base, and ActionMailer::Base automatically gets. This means that these classes will be reloaded by the dispatcher when Dependencies.mechanism = :load. You can make your own models reloadable easily:
-
-    class Setting
-      include Reloadable
-    end
-
-  Reloading a class is done by removing its constant which will cause it to be loaded again on the next reference. [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added auto-loading support for classes in modules, so Conductor::Migration will look for conductor/migration.rb and Conductor::Database::Settings will look for conductor/database/settings.rb [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Add Object#instance_exec, like instance_eval but passes its arguments to the block.  (Active Support will not override the Ruby 1.9 implementation of this method.) [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Add Proc#bind(object) for changing a proc or block's self by returning a Method bound to the given object. Based on why the lucky stiff's "cloaker" method. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Fix merge and dup for hashes with indifferent access #3404 [Ken Miller]
-
-* Fix the requires in option_merger_test to unbreak AS tests. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Make HashWithIndifferentAccess#update behave like Hash#update by returning the hash. #3419, #3425 [asnem@student.ethz.ch, JanPrill@blauton.de, Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Add ActiveSupport::JSON and Object#to_json for converting Ruby objects to JSON strings. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Add Object#with_options for DRYing up multiple calls to methods having shared options. [Sam Stephenson]  Example:
-
-  ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
-    # Account routes
-    map.with_options(:controller => 'account') do |account|
-      account.home   '',       :action => 'dashboard'
-      account.signup 'signup', :action => 'new'
-      account.logout 'logout', :action => 'logout'
-    end
-  end
-
-* Introduce Dependencies.warnings_on_first_load setting.  If true, enables warnings on first load of a require_dependency.  Otherwise, loads without warnings.  Disabled (set to false) by default.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Active Support is warnings-safe.  #1792 [Eric Hodel]
-
-* Introduce enable_warnings counterpart to silence_warnings.  Turn warnings on when loading a file for the first time if Dependencies.mechanism == :load.  Common mistakes such as redefined methods will print warnings to stderr.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add Symbol#to_proc, which allows for, e.g. [:foo, :bar].map(&:to_s). [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Added the following methods [Marcel Molina Jr., Sam Stephenson]:
-  * Object#copy_instance_variables_from(object) to copy instance variables from one object to another
-  * Object#extended_by to get an instance's included/extended modules
-  * Object#extend_with_included_modules_from(object) to extend an instance with the modules from another instance
-
-*1.2.5* (December 13th, 2005)
-
-* Become part of Rails 1.0
-
-* Rename Version constant to VERSION. #2802 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-*1.2.3* (November 7th, 2005)
-
-* Change Inflector#constantize to use eval instead of const_get. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fix const_missing handler to ignore the trailing '.rb' on files when comparing paths. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Define kernel.rb methods in "class Object" instead of "module Kernel" to work around a Windows peculiarity [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Fix broken tests caused by incomplete loading of active support. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fix status pluralization bug so status_codes doesn't get pluralized as statuses_code.  #2758 [keithm@infused.org]
-
-* Added Kernel#silence_stderr to silence stderr for the duration of the given block [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Changed Kernel#` to print a message to stderr (like Unix) instead of raising Errno::ENOENT on Win32 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Changed 0.blank? to false rather than true since it violates everyone's expectation of blankness.  #2518, #2705 [rails@jeffcole.net]
-
-* When loading classes using const_missing, raise a NameError if and only if the file we tried to load was not present. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added petabytes and exebytes to numeric extensions #2397 [timct@mac.com]
-
-* Added Time#end_of_month to accompany Time#beginning_of_month #2514 [Jens-Christian Fischer]
-
-
-*1.2.2* (October 26th, 2005)
-
-* Set Logger.silencer = false to disable Logger#silence.  Useful for debugging fixtures.
-
-* Add title case method to String to do, e.g., 'action_web_service'.titlecase #  => 'Action Web Service'. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-
-*1.2.1* (October 19th, 2005)
-
-* Classify generated routing code as framework code to avoid appearing in application traces. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Show all framework frames in the framework trace. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-
-*1.2.0* (October 16th, 2005)
-
-* Update Exception extension to show the first few framework frames in an application trace. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added Exception extension to provide support for clean backtraces. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Updated whiny nil to be more concise and useful. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added Enumerable#first_match [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed that Time#change should also reset usec when also resetting minutes #2459 [ikeda@dream.big.or.jp]
-

-
-* Replace '%e' from long and short time formats as Windows does not support it. #2344. [Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>]
-
-* Added to_s(:db) to Range, so you can get "BETWEEN '2005-12-10' AND '2005-12-12'" from Date.new(2005, 12, 10)..Date.new(2005, 12, 12) (and likewise with Times)
-
-* Moved require_library_or_gem into Kernel. #1992 [Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]
-
-* Add :rfc822 as an option for Time#to_s (to get rfc822-formatted times)
-
-* Chain the const_missing hook to any previously existing hook so rails can play nicely with rake
-
-* Clean logger is compatible with both 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 Logger.  #2263 [Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]
-
-* Added native, faster implementations of .blank? for the core types #2286 [skae]
-
-* Fixed clean logger to work with Ruby 1.8.3 Logger class #2245
-
-* Fixed memory leak with Active Record classes when Dependencies.mechanism = :load #1704 [Chris McGrath]
-
-* Fixed Inflector.underscore for use with acronyms, so HTML becomes html instead of htm_l #2173 [k@v2studio.com]
-
-* Fixed dependencies related infinite recursion bug when a controller file does not contain a controller class. Closes #1760. [rcolli2@tampabay.rr.com]

-
-* Added Hash#reverse_merge, Hash#reverse_merge!, and Hash#reverse_update to ease the use of default options
-

-
-* Added Kernel#silence_warnings to turn off warnings temporarily for the passed block
-
-* Added String#starts_with? and String#ends_with? #2118 [Thijs van der Vossen]
-
-* Added easy extendability to the inflector through Inflector.inflections (using the Inflector::Inflections singleton class). Examples:
-
-    Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
-      inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, '\1\2en'
-      inflect.singular /^(ox)en/i, '\1'
-
-      inflect.irregular 'octopus', 'octopi'
-
-      inflect.uncountable "equipment"
-    end
-
-* Added String#at, String#from, String#to, String#first, String#last in ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::String::Access to ease access to individual characters and substrings in a string serving basically as human names for range access.
-
-* Make Time#last_month work when invoked on the 31st of a month.
-
-* Add Time.days_in_month, and make Time#next_month work when invoked on the 31st of a month
-
-* Fixed that Time#midnight would have a non-zero usec on some platforms #1836
-
-* Fixed inflections of "index/indices" #1766 [damn_pepe@gmail.com]

-
-* Factor Fixnum and Bignum extensions into Integer extensions [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Hooked #ordinalize into Fixnum and Bignum classes. [Nicholas Seckar, danp]
-
-* Added Fixnum#ordinalize to turn 1.ordinalize to "1st", 3.ordinalize to "3rd", and 10.ordinalize to "10th" and so on #1724 [paul@cnt.org]
-
-
-*1.1.1* (11 July, 2005)
-

-
-
-*1.1.0* (6 July, 2005)
-
-* Fixed conflict with Glue gem #1606 [Rick Olson]
-

-
-* Fixed memory leak with Object#remove_subclasses_of, which inflicted a Rails application running in development mode with a ~20KB leak per request #1289 [Chris McGrath]
-
-* Made 1.year == 365.25.days to account for leap years.  This allows you to do User.find(:all, :conditions => ['birthday > ?', 50.years.ago]) without losing a lot of days.  #1488 [tuxie@dekadance.se]
-
-* Added an exception if calling id on nil to WhinyNil #584 [kevin-temp@writesoon.com]
-
-* Added Fix/Bignum#multiple_of? which returns true on 14.multiple_of?(7) and false on 16.multiple_of?(7) #1464 [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Added even? and odd? to work with Bignums in addition to Fixnums #1464 [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Fixed Time#at_beginning_of_week returned the next Monday instead of the previous one when called on a Sunday #1403 [jean.helou@gmail.com]
-
-* Increased the speed of indifferent hash access by using Hash#default.  #1436 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added that "   " is now also blank? (using strip if available)
-
-* Fixed Dependencies so all modules are able to load missing constants #1173 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed the Inflector to underscore strings containing numbers, so Area51Controller becomes area51_controller #1176 [Nicholas Seckar]

-
-* Fixed inflection of perspectives and similar words #1045 [Thijs van der Vossen]
-
-* Added Fixnum#even? and Fixnum#odd?

-    1/0 rescue nil # BAD, EVIL, DIRTY.
-
-
-*1.0.2* (22th March, 2005)
-
-* Added Kernel#returning -- a Ruby-ized realization of the K combinator, courtesy of Mikael Brockman.
-
-    def foo
-      returning values = [] do
-        values << 'bar'
-        values << 'baz'
-      end
-    end
-
-    foo # => ['bar', 'baz']
-

-*1.0.1* (7th March, 2005)
-
-* Fixed Hash#indifferent_access to also deal with include? and fetch and nested hashes #726 [Nicholas Seckar]

-
-* Added inflection rules for "sh" words, like "wish" and "fish" #755 [phillip@pjbsoftware.com]
-
-* Fixed an exception when using Ajax based requests from Safari because Safari appends a \000 to the post body. Symbols can't have \000 in them so indifferent access would throw an exception in the constructor. Indifferent hashes now use strings internally instead. #746 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added String#to_time and String#to_date for wrapping ParseDate
-
-
-*1.0.0* (24th February, 2005)
-
-* Added TimeZone as the first of a number of value objects that among others Active Record can use rich value objects using composed_of #688 [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added Date::Conversions for getting dates in different convenient string representations and other objects
-
-* Added Time::Conversions for getting times in different convenient string representations and other objects
-
-* Added Time::Calculations to ask for things like Time.now.tomorrow, Time.now.yesterday, Time.now.months_ago(4) #580 [DP|Flurin]. Examples:
-
-    "Later today"         => now.in(3.hours),
-    "Tomorrow morning"    => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
-    "Tomorrow afternoon"  => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 14),
-    "In a couple of days" => now.tomorrow.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
-    "Next monday"         => now.next_week.change(:hour => 9),
-    "In a month"          => now.next_month.change(:hour => 9),
-    "In 6 months"         => now.months_since(6).change(:hour => 9),
-    "In a year"           => now.in(1.year).change(:hour => 9)
-
-* Upgraded to breakpoint 92 which fixes:
-
-    * overload IRB.parse_opts(), fixes #443
-      => breakpoints in tests work even when running them via rake
-    * untaint handlers, might fix an issue discussed on the Rails ML
-    * added verbose mode to breakpoint_client
-    * less noise caused by breakpoint_client by default
-    * ignored TerminateLineInput exception in signal handler
-      => quiet exit on Ctrl-C
-
-* Fixed Inflector for words like "news" and "series" that are the same in plural and singular #603 [echion], #615 [marcenuc]
-
-* Added Hash#stringify_keys and Hash#stringify_keys!
-
-* Added IndifferentAccess as a way to wrap a hash by a symbol-based store that also can be accessed by string keys

-
-* Added that Inflector.camelize and Inflector.underscore can deal with modules like turning "Admin::User" into "admin/user" and back
-
-* Added Inflector.humanize to turn attribute names like employee_salary into "Employee salary". Used by automated error reporting in AR.
-
-* Added availability of class inheritable attributes to the masses #477 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-    class Foo
-      class_inheritable_reader :read_me
-      class_inheritable_writer :write_me
-      class_inheritable_accessor :read_and_write_me
-      class_inheritable_array :read_and_concat_me
-      class_inheritable_hash :read_and_update_me
-    end
-
-    # Bar gets a clone of (not a reference to) Foo's attributes.
-    class Bar < Foo
-    end
-
-    Bar.read_and_write_me == Foo.read_and_write_me
-    Bar.read_and_write_me = 'bar'
-    Bar.read_and_write_me != Foo.read_and_write_me
-
-* Added Inflections as an extension on String, so Inflector.pluralize(Inflector.classify(name)) becomes name.classify.pluralize #476 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added Byte operations to Numeric, so 5.5.megabytes + 200.kilobytes #461 [Marcel Molina Jr.]

+
+*   The definition of blank string for Ruby 1.9 has been extended to Unicode whitespace.
+    Also, in 1.8 the ideographic space U+3000 is considered to be whitespace. *Akira Matsuda, Damien Mathieu*

+
+*   ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger#flush is deprecated.  Set sync on your

+    mode to output portable newlines. *fxn*
+
+*   ActiveSupport::Dependencies now raises NameError if it finds an existing constant in load_missing_constant. This better reflects the nature of the error which is usually caused by calling constantize on a nested constant. *Andrew White*

+
+
+## Rails 3.0.0 (August 29, 2010) ##
+
+*   Implemented String#strip_heredoc. *fxn*
+
+*   Pluggable cache stores: setting config.cache_store = "custom_store" will require 'active_support/cache/custom_store' and look for the CustomStore constant.  #5486 *Mike Perham*
+
+*   Removed Object#returning, Object#tap should be used instead. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Deprecation behavior is no longer hardcoded to the name of the environment.
+    Instead, it is set via config.active_support.deprecation and can be one
+    of :log, :stderr or :notify. :notify is a new style that sends the warning
+    via ActiveSupport::Notifications, and is the new default for production
+    *Yehuda Katz*
+
+*   Renamed ActiveSupport::Dependecies.load_(once_)paths to autoload_(once_)paths. *fxn*
+
+*   Added ActiveSupport::FileUpdateChecker to execute a block only if a set of files changed, used by Router and I18n locale files. *José Valim*
+
+*   Added ActiveSupport::DescendantsTracker to track descendants with support to constants reloading. *José Valim*
+
+*   ActiveSupport::OrderedHash#merge and #merge! accept a block. #4838 *Paul Mucur, fxn*
+
+*   Date#since, #ago, #beginning_of_day, #end_of_day, and #xmlschema honor now the user time zone if set. *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Extracted String#truncate from TextHelper#truncate *DHH*
+
+*   Ruby 1.9: support UTF-8 case folding.  #4595 *Norman Clarke*
+
+*   Removes Array#rand and backports Array#sample from Ruby 1.9, thanks to Marc-Andre Lafortune. *fxn*
+
+*   Ruby 1.9: Renames last_(month|year) to prev_(month|year) in Date and Time. *fxn*
+
+*   Aliases Date#sunday to Date#end_of_week. *fxn*
+
+*   Backports Date#>> from 1.9 so that calculations do the right thing around the calendar reform. *fxn*
+
+*   Date#to_time handles properly years in the range 0..138. *fxn*
+
+*   Deprecate {{}} as interpolation syntax for I18n in favor of %{} *José Valim*
+
+*   Array#to_xml is more powerful and able to handle the same types as Hash#to_xml #4490 *Neeraj Singh*
+
+*   Harmonize the caching API and refactor the backends.  #4452 *Brian Durand*
+    All caches:
+    * Add default options to initializer that will be sent to all read, write, fetch, exist?, increment, and decrement
+    * Add support for the :expires_in option to fetch and write for all caches. Cache entries are stored with the create timestamp and a ttl so that expiration can be handled independently of the implementation.
+    * Add support for a :namespace option. This can be used to set a global prefix for cache entries.
+    * Deprecate expand_cache_key on ActiveSupport::Cache and move it to ActionController::Caching and ActionDispatch::Http::Cache since the logic in the method used some Rails specific environment variables and was only used by ActionPack classes. Not very DRY but there didn't seem to be a good shared spot and ActiveSupport really shouldn't be Rails specific.
+    * Add support for :race_condition_ttl to fetch. This setting can prevent race conditions on fetch calls where several processes try to regenerate a recently expired entry at once.
+    * Add support for :compress option to fetch and write which will compress any data over a configurable threshold.
+    * Nil values can now be stored in the cache and are distinct from cache misses for fetch.
+    * Easier API to create new implementations. Just need to implement the methods read_entry, write_entry, and delete_entry instead of overwriting existing methods.
+    * Since all cache implementations support storing objects, update the docs to state that ActiveCache::Cache::Store implementations should store objects. Keys, however, must be strings since some implementations require that.
+    * Increase test coverage.
+    * Document methods which are provided as convenience but which may not be universally available.
+
+    MemoryStore:
+    * MemoryStore can now safely be used as the cache for single server sites.
+    * Make thread safe so that the default cache implementation used by Rails is thread safe. The overhead is minimal and it is still the fastest store available.
+    * Provide :size initialization option indicating the maximum size of the cache in memory (defaults to 32Mb).
+    * Add prune logic that removes the least recently used cache entries to keep the cache size from exceeding the max.
+    * Deprecated SynchronizedMemoryStore since it isn't needed anymore.
+
+    FileStore:
+    * Escape key values so they will work as file names on all file systems, be consistent, and case sensitive
+    * Use a hash algorithm to segment the cache into sub directories so that a large cache doesn't exceed file system limits.
+    * FileStore can be slow so implement the LocalCache strategy to cache reads for the duration of a request.
+    * Add cleanup method to keep the disk from filling up with expired entries.
+    * Fix increment and decrement to use file system locks so they are consistent between processes.
+
+    MemCacheStore:
+    * Support all keys. Previously keys with spaces in them would fail
+    * Deprecate CompressedMemCacheStore since it isn't needed anymore (use :compress => true)
+
+*   JSON: encode objects that don't have a native JSON representation using to_hash, if available, instead of instance_values (the old fallback) or to_s (other encoders' default). Encode BigDecimal and Regexp encode as strings to conform with other encoders. Try to transcode non-UTF-8 strings.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   HashWithIndifferentAccess: remove inherited symbolize_keys! since its keys are always strings.  *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Improve transliteration quality.  #4374 *Norman Clarke*
+
+*   Speed up and add Ruby 1.9 support for ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars#tidy_bytes.  #4350 *Norman Clarke*
+
+*   Reduced load time by deferring configuration of classes using
+    ActiveSupport::on_load(:component_name) *YK*
+
+*   Rename #metaclass to #singleton_class now that ruby-core has decided *JK*
+
+*   New assertions assert_blank and assert_present.  #4299 *Juanjo Bazan*
+
+*   Use Object#singleton_class instead of #metaclass. Prefer Ruby's choice.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   JSON backend for YAJL. Preferred if available.  #2666 *Brian Lopez*
+
+*   Introduce class_attribute to declare inheritable class attributes. Writing an attribute on a subclass behaves just like overriding the superclass reader method.  Unifies and replaces most usage of cattr_accessor, class_inheritable_attribute, superclass_delegating_attribute, and extlib_inheritable_attribute.  *Jeremy Kemper, Yehuda Katz*
+
+*   Time#- with a DateTime argument behaves the same as with a Time argument, i.e. returns the difference between self and arg as a Float #3476 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   YAML serialization for OrderedHash.  #3608 *Gregor Schmidt*
+
+*   Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.16 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Georgetown TimeZone is now mapped to "America/Guyana" instead of "America/Argentina/San_Juan" #1821 *Geoff Buesing, Reuben Sivan*
+
+*   Changed the default ActiveSupport.use_standard_json_time_format from false to true and
+    ActiveSupport.escape_html_entities_in_json from true to false to match previously announced Rails 3 defaults *DHH*
+
+*   Added Object#presence that returns the object if it's #present? otherwise returns nil *DHH/Colin Kelley*
+
+*   Add Enumerable#exclude? to bring parity to Enumerable#include? and avoid if !x.include?/else calls *DHH*
+
+*   Update Edinburgh TimeZone to use "Europe/London" instead of "Europe/Dublin" #3310 *Phil Ross*
+
+*   Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.15 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   JSON: +Object#to_json+ calls +as_json+ to coerce itself into something natively encodable like +Hash+, +Integer+, or +String+. Override +as_json+ instead of +to_json+ so you're JSON library agnostic.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   String #to_time and #to_datetime: handle fractional seconds #864 *Jason Frey*
+
+*   Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.13 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Allow MemCacheStore to be initialized with a MemCache-like object instead of addresses and options *Bryan Helmkamp*
+
+*   Change spelling of Kyev timezone to Kyiv #2613 *Alexander Dymo*
+
+*   Add ActiveSupport.parse_json_times to disable time parsing in JSON backends that don't support it or don't need it. *rick*
+
+*   Add pluggable JSON backends with support for the JSON gem. *rick*
+        Example: ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
+
+    All internal Rails JSON encoding is now handled by ActiveSupport::JSON.encode().  Use of #to_json is not recommended, as it may clash with other libraries that overwrite it.  However, you can recover Rails specific functionality
+    if you really want to use #to_json.

+
+        class ActiveRecord::Base
+          alias to_json rails_to_json
+        end
+
+*   require 'active_support' no longer orders the whole menu of core extensions. Ask for just what you need: e.g. require 'active_support/core/time' to use timezones, durations, and stdlib date/time extensions. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Removed rarely-used DRb cache store.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   TimeWithZone.name returns 'Time', to further thwart type checking *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time.local instances: Adding 24.hours across the DST boundary adds 24 hours instead of one day #2066 *Michael Curtis*
+
+
+## 2.3.2 Final (March 15, 2009) ##
+
+*   XmlMini supports LibXML and Nokogiri backends.  #2084, #2190 *Bart ten Brinke, Aaron Patterson*
+        Example: XmlMini.backend = 'Nokogiri'
+
+*   Vendorize i18n 0.1.3 gem (fixes issues with incompatible character encodings in Ruby 1.9) #2038 *Akira Matsuda*
+
+*   Update bundled memcache-client from 1.5.0.5 to 1.6.4.99. See http://www.mikeperham.com/2009/02/15/memcache-client-performance/  *Mike Perham*

+
+*   Make TimeWithZone#to_formatted_s an alias to TimeWithZone#to_s #1796 *Levin Alexander*
+
+*   Introduce Array.wrap(foo) to wrap the argument in an array unless it's already an array. Wraps nil as an empty array. Use instead of Array(foo) and foo.to_a since they treat String as Enumerable.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   TimeWithZone#xmlschema accepts optional fraction_digits argument [#1725 state:resolved] *Nicholas Dainty*
+
+*   Object#tap shim for Ruby < 1.8.7. Similar to Object#returning, tap yields self then returns self.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+        array.select { ... }.tap(&:inspect).map { ... }
+
+*   TimeWithZone#- gives correct result with wrapped DateTime, and with DateTime argument *Geoff Buesing*

+
+*   Added ActiveSupport::BacktraceCleaner to cut down on backtrace noise according to filters and silencers *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added Object#try. ( Taken from http://ozmm.org/posts/try.html ) *Chris Wanstrath*
+
+*   Added Enumerable#none? to check that none of the elements match the block #1408 *Damian Janowski*

+
+*   Update bundled TZInfo to 0.3.12 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Added lambda merging to OptionMerger (especially useful with named_scope and with_options) #726 *Paweł Kondzior*

+## 2.2.1 RC2 (November 14th, 2008) ##
+
+*   Increment the version of our altered memcache-client to prevent confusion caused when the 1.5.0 gem is installed.
+
+*   Fixed the option merging in Array#to_xml #1126 *Rudolf Gavlas*
+
+*   Make I18n::Backend::Simple reload its translations in development mode *David Heinemeier Hansson/Sven Fuchs*
+
+
+## 2.2.0 RC1 (October 24th, 2008) ##
+
+*   TimeWithZone#freeze: preload instance variables so that we can actually freeze *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Fix Brasilia timezone #1180 *Marcus Derencius, Kane*
+
+*   Time#advance recognizes fractional days and weeks. Deprecate Durations of fractional months and years #970 *Tom Lea*
+
+*   Add ActiveSupport::Rescuable module abstracting ActionController::Base rescue_from features. *Norbert Crombach, Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Switch from String#chars to String#mb_chars for the unicode proxy.  *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+    This helps with 1.8.7 compatibility and also improves performance for some operations by reducing indirection.
+
+*   TimeWithZone #wday, #yday and #to_date avoid trip through #method_missing *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Added Time, Date, DateTime and TimeWithZone #past?, #future? and #today? #720 *Clemens Kofler, Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Fixed Sri Jayawardenepura time zone to map to Asia/Colombo *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added Inflector#parameterize for easy slug generation ("Donald E. Knuth".parameterize => "donald-e-knuth") #713 *Matt Darby*
+
+*   Changed cache benchmarking to be reported in milliseconds *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fix Ruby's Time marshaling bug in pre-1.9 versions of Ruby: utc instances are now correctly unmarshaled with a utc zone instead of the system local zone [#900 state:resolved] *Luca Guidi, Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Add Array#in_groups which splits or iterates over the array in specified number of groups. #579. [Adrian Mugnolo] Example:
+
+    a = (1..10).to_a
+    a.in_groups(3)        # => [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, nil], [8, 9, 10, nil]]
+    a.in_groups(3, false) # => [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7], [8, 9, 10]]
+
+*   Fix TimeWithZone unmarshaling: coerce unmarshaled Time instances to utc, because Ruby's marshaling of Time instances doesn't respect the zone *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Added Memoizable mixin for caching simple lazy loaded attributes *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Move the test related core_ext stuff out of core_ext so it's only loaded by the test helpers.  *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Add Inflection rules for String#humanize. #535 *Dan Manges*
+
+    ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
+        inflect.human(/_cnt$/i, '\1_count')
+    end
+
+    'jargon_cnt'.humanize # => 'Jargon count'
+
+*   TimeWithZone: when crossing DST boundary, treat Durations of days, months or years as variable-length, and all other values as absolute length. A time + 24.hours will advance exactly 24 hours, but a time + 1.day will advance 23-25 hours, depending on the day. Ensure consistent behavior across all advancing methods *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Added TimeZone #=~, to support matching zones by regex in time_zone_select. #195 *Ernie Miller*

+
+*   Added test/do declaration style testing to ActiveSupport::TestCase *DHH via Jay Fields*
+
+*   Added Object#present? which is equivalent to !Object#blank? *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added Enumberable#many? to encapsulate collection.size > 1 *David Heinemeier Hansson/Damian Janowski*
+
+*   Add more standard Hash methods to ActiveSupport::OrderedHash *Steve Purcell*
+
+*   Namespace Inflector, Dependencies, OrderedOptions, and TimeZone under ActiveSupport *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Added StringInquirer for doing things like StringInquirer.new("production").production? # => true and StringInquirer.new("production").development? # => false *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed Date#end_of_quarter to not blow up on May 31st [#289 state:resolved] (Danger)
+
+
+## 2.1.0 (May 31st, 2008) ##
+
+*   TimeZone#to_s shows offset as GMT instead of UTC, because GMT will be more familiar to end users (see time zone selects used by Windows OS, google.com and yahoo.com.) Reverts [8370] *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Hash.from_xml: datetime xml types overflow to Ruby DateTime class when out of range of Time. Adding tests for utc offsets *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone #+ and #- : ensure overflow to DateTime with Numeric arg *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time#to_json: don't convert to utc before encoding. References #175 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Remove unused JSON::RESERVED_WORDS, JSON.valid_identifier? and JSON.reserved_word? methods. Resolves #164. *Cheah Chu Yeow*
+
+*   Adding Date.current, which returns Time.zone.today if config.time_zone is set; otherwise returns Date.today *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone: date part getter methods (#year #mon #day etc) are defined on class; no longer relying on method_missing *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time.zone.parse return nil for strings with no date information *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time.zone.parse respects offset information in string. Resolves #105. *Scott Fleckenstein, Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Added Ruby 1.8 implementation of Process.daemon
+
+*   Duration #since and #ago with no argument (e.g., 5.days.ago) return TimeWithZone when config.time_zone is set. Introducing Time.current, which returns Time.zone.now if config.time_zone is set, otherwise just returns Time.now *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time#since behaves correctly when passed a Duration. Closes #11527 *kemiller*
+
+*   Add #getutc alias for DateTime#utc *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Refactor TimeWithZone: don't send #since, #ago, #+, #-, #advance through method_missing *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone respects config.active_support.use_standard_json_time_format *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Add config.active_support.escape_html_entities_in_json to allow disabling of html entity escaping.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Improve documentation. *Xavier Noria*
+
+*   Modified ActiveSupport::Callbacks::Callback#call to accept multiple arguments.
+
+*   Time #yesterday and #tomorrow behave correctly crossing DST boundary. Closes #7399 *sblackstone*
+
+*   TimeWithZone: Adding tests for dst and leap day edge cases when advancing time *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone#method_missing: send to utc to advance with dst correctness, otherwise send to time. Adding tests for time calculations methods *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Add config.active_support.use_standard_json_time_format setting so that Times and Dates export to ISO 8601 dates.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   TZInfo: Removing unneeded TimezoneProxy class *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TZInfo: Removing unneeded TimezoneIndexDefinition, since we're not including Indexes::Timezones *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Removing unnecessary uses_tzinfo helper from tests, given that TZInfo is now bundled *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Bundling abbreviated version of TZInfo gem 0.3.8: only the classes and zone definitions required to support Rails time zone features are included. If a recent version of the full TZInfo gem is installed, this will take precedence over the bundled version *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone#marshal_load does zone lookup via Time.get_zone, so that tzinfo/Olson identifiers are handled *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time.zone= accepts TZInfo::Timezone instances and Olson identifiers; wraps result in TimeZone instance *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone time conversions don't need to be wrapped in TimeOrDateTime, because TZInfo does this internally *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone#usec returns 0 instead of error when DateTime is wrapped *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Improve documentation. *Ryan Bigg, Jan De Poorter, Cheah Chu Yeow, Xavier Shay, Jack Danger Canty, Emilio Tagua, Xavier Noria,  Sunny Ripert*
+
+*   Ensure that TimeWithZone#to_yaml works when passed a YAML::Emitter.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Ensure correct TimeWithZone#to_date *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Make TimeWithZone work with tzinfo 0.2.x: use TZInfo::Timezone#zone_identifier alias for #abbreviation, silence warnings on tests. Raise LoadError when TZInfo version is < 0.2 by sniffing for TZInfo::TimeOrDateTime constant. Move all tzinfo-dependent TimeZone tests into uses_tzinfo block *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time, DateTime and TimeWithZone #in_time_zone defaults to Time.zone. Removing now unneeded #in_current_time_zone *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TZInfo caches Timezone instances in its own internal hash cache, so TimeZone::MAPPING doesn't need to cache them as well *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Adding TimeZone#parse *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Adding TimeZone#at and DateTime#to_f *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone responds to Ruby 1.9 weekday-named query methods *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone caches TZInfo::TimezonePeriod used for time conversion so that it can be reused, and enforces DST rules correctly when instance is created from a local time *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Fixed that BufferedLogger should create its own directory if one doesn't already exist #11285 *lotswholetime*
+
+*   Fix Numeric time tests broken by DST change by anchoring them to fixed times instead of Time.now. Anchor TimeZone#now DST test to time specified with Time.at instead of Time.local to work around platform differences with Time.local and DST representation *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Removing unneeded #change_time_zone method from Time, DateTime and TimeWithZone *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeZone #local and #now correctly enforce DST rules *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone instances correctly enforce DST rules. Adding TimeZone#period_for_utc *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   test_time_with_datetime_fallback expects DateTime.local_offset instead of DateTime.now.offset *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Adding TimeWithZone #marshal_dump and #marshal_load *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Add OrderedHash#to_hash *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Adding Time#end_of_day, _quarter, _week, and _year.  #9312 *Juanjo Bazan, Tarmo Tänav, BigTitus*
+
+*   Adding TimeWithZone#between? *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time.=== returns true for TimeWithZone instances *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone #+ and #- behave consistently with numeric arguments regardless of whether wrapped time is a Time or DateTime; consistenty answers false to #acts_like?(:date) *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Add String#squish and String#squish! to remove consecutive chunks of whitespace.  #11123 *Jordi Bunster, Henrik N*
+
+*   Serialize BigDecimals as Floats when using to_yaml. #8746 *Ernesto Jimenez*
+
+*   Adding TimeWithZone #to_yaml, #to_datetime, #eql? and method aliases for duck-typing compatibility with Time *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeWithZone #in_time_zone returns +self+ if zone argument is the same as #time_zone *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Adding TimeWithZone #to_a, #to_f, #to_i, #httpdate, #rfc2822 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Pruning unneeded TimeWithZone#change_time_zone_to_current *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time#zone=, #in_time_zone and #change_time_zone accept a Duration *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time#in_time_zone handles Time.local instances correctly *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Pruning unneeded Time#change_time_zone_to_current. Enhanced docs to #change_time_zone to explain the difference between this method and #in_time_zone *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeZone#new method renamed #local; when used with Time.zone, constructor now reads: Time.zone.local() *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Added Base64.encode64s to encode values in base64 without the newlines. This makes the values immediately usable as URL parameters or memcache keys without further processing *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Remove :nodoc: entries around the ActiveSupport test/unit assertions.  #10946 *dancroak, jamesh*
+
+*   Add Time.zone_default accessor for setting the default time zone.  Rails::Configuration.time_zone sets this.  #10982 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   cache.fetch(key, :force => true) to force a cache miss.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Support retrieving TimeZones with a Duration.  TimeZone[-28800] == TimeZone[-480.minutes].  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   TimeWithZone#- added, so that #- can handle a Time or TimeWithZone argument correctly *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   with_timezone test helper renamed with_env_tz, to distinguish between setting ENV['TZ'] and setting Time.zone in tests *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time#- coerces TimeWithZone argument to a Time instance so that difference in seconds can be calculated. Closes #10914 *Geoff Buesing, yyyc514*
+
+*   Adding UTC zone to TimeZone; TimeWithZone no longer has to fake UTC zone with nil *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time.get_zone refactored to private method, given that the encapsulated logic is only useful internally *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time.zone uses thread-local variable for thread safety. Adding Time.use_zone, for overriding Time.zone locally inside a block. Removing unneeded Time.zone_reset! *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeZone#to_s uses UTC rather than GMT; reapplying change that was undone in [8679]. #1689 *Cheah Chu Yeow*
+
+*   Time.days_in_month defaults to current year if no year is supplied as argument #10799 [Radar], uses Date.gregorian_leap? to determine leap year, and uses constant lookup to determine days in month *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Adding Time and DateTime #compare_with_coercion, which layers behavior on #<=> so that any combination of Time, DateTime and ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instances can be chronologically compared *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   TimeZone#now returns an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time #in_current_time_zone and #change_time_zone_to_current return self when Time.zone is nil *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Remove unneeded #to_datetime_default_s alias for DateTime#to_s, given that we inherit a #to_default_s from Date that does exactly the same thing *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Refactor Time and DateTime #to_formatted_s: use ternary instead of nested if/else *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Adding Time and DateTime #formatted_offset, for outputting +HH:MM utc offset strings with cross-platform consistency *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Adding alternate_utc_string option to TimeZone#formatted_offset. Removing unneeded TimeZone#offset. *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Introduce ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone, for wrapping Time instances with a TimeZone. Introduce instance methods to Time for creating TimeWithZone instances, and class methods for managing a global time zone. *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Replace non-dst-aware TimeZone class with dst-aware class from tzinfo_timezone plugin. TimeZone#adjust and #unadjust are no longer available; tzinfo gem must now be present in order to perform time zone calculations, via #local_to_utc and #utc_to_local methods. *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Extract ActiveSupport::Callbacks from Active Record, test case setup and teardown, and ActionController::Dispatcher.  #10727 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Introducing DateTime #utc, #utc? and #utc_offset, for duck-typing compatibility with Time. Closes #10002 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time#to_json uses Numeric#to_utc_offset_s to output a cross-platform-consistent representation without having to convert to DateTime. References #9750 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Refactor number-to-HH:MM-string conversion logic from TimeZone#formatted_offset to a reusable Numeric#to_utc_offset_s method. *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Continue evolution toward ActiveSupport::TestCase.  #10679 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   TestCase: introduce declared setup and teardown callbacks. Pass a list of methods and an optional block to call before setup or after teardown. Setup callbacks are run in the order declared; teardown callbacks are run in reverse.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added ActiveSupport::Gzip.decompress/compress(source) as an easy wrapper for Zlib *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Included MemCache-Client to make the improved ActiveSupport::Cache::MemCacheStore work out of the box *Bob Cottrell, Eric Hodel*
+
+##  Added ActiveSupport::Cache:: framework as an extraction from ActionController::Caching::Fragments:: David Heinemeier Hansson ##
+
+*   Fixed String#titleize to work for strings with 's too #10571 *trek*
+
+*   Changed the implementation of Enumerable#group_by to use a double array approach instead of a hash such that the insert order is honored *David Heinemeier Hansson/Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   remove multiple enumerations from ActiveSupport::JSON#convert_json_to_yaml when dealing with date/time values.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Hash#symbolize_keys skips keys that can't be symbolized.  #10500 *Brad Greenlee*
+
+*   Ruby 1.9 compatibility.  #1689, #10466, #10468, #10554, #10594, #10632 *Cheah Chu Yeow, Pratik Naik, Jeremy Kemper, Dirkjan Bussink, Xavier Noria*
+
+*   TimeZone#to_s uses UTC rather than GMT.  #1689 *Cheah Chu Yeow*
+
+*   Refactor of Hash#symbolize_keys! to use Hash#replace.  Closes #10420 *ReinH*
+
+*   Fix HashWithIndifferentAccess#to_options! so it doesn't clear the options hash.  Closes #10419 *ReinH*
+
+
+## 2.0.1 (December 7th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Added Array#from and Array#to that behaves just from String#from and String#to *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fix that empty collections should be treated as empty arrays regardless of whitespace for Hash#from_xml #10255 *adamj*
+
+*   Time#time_with_datetime_fallback, Time#to_datetime, Date#to_datetime and String#to_datetime honor Ruby's default calendar reform setting. #10201 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Change Time and DateTime #end_of_month to return last second of month instead of beginning of last day of month. Closes #10200 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Speedup String#blank?  *Jeremy Kemper, Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Add documentation for Hash#diff. Closes #9306 *Tarmo Tänav*
+
+*   Add new superclass_delegating_accessors.  Similar to class inheritable attributes but with subtly different semantics. *Michael Koziarski, Tarmo Tänav*
+
+*   Change JSON to encode %w(< > &) as 4 digit hex codes to be in compliance with the JSON spec.  Closes #9975 *Josh Peek, Cheah Chu Yeow, Tim Pope*
+
+*   Fix JSON encoding/decoding bugs dealing with /'s.  Closes #9990 *Rick Olson, theamazingrando*
+
+*   Introduce a base class for all test cases used by rails applications. ActiveSupport::TestCase *Michael Koziarski*
+
+    The intention is to use this to reduce the amount of monkeypatching / overriding that
+    is done to test/unit's classes.
+
+*   Document Enumerable and Hash #to_json.  #9970 *Cheah Chu Yeow*
+
+*   Hash#to_xml handles symbol values.  #9954 *Assaf*
+
+*   Hash#symbolize_keys behaves well with integer keys.  #9890 *PotatoSalad*
+
+*   Multibyte: String#slice supports regexp argument.  #9646 *yob*
+
+*   object.duplicable? returns true if object.dup is safe. False for nil, true, false, symbols, and numbers; true otherwise.  #9333 *sur*
+
+*   Time, Date and DateTime #advance accept :weeks option.  #9866 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Fix Time#years_ago and #years_since from leap days.  #9865 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time and DateTime#advance accept :hours, :minutes, and :seconds options.  #9825 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Fix Date#years_ago and #years_since from leap days.  #9864 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Refactor Time and Date#months_since and #months_ago to use #advance.  #9863 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Rebundle Builder 2.1.2 but prefer a newer RubyGem if available.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add Range#overlaps?(range), Range#include?(range), and Range#step without a block. *brandon*
+
+*   Correct BufferedLogger#level? checks.  #9806 *wildchild, Johan Sorensen*
+
+*   String#to_xs uses Eric Wong's fast_xs extension, if available, for Builder speedup.  http://bogomips.org/fast_xs/  *Jeremy Kemper*

+*   Introduce BasicObject as Builder::BlankSlate for Ruby 1.9 forward compatibility.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Unbundle Builder in favor of a gem dependency.  *Jeremy Kemper*

+
+*   Hash#to_json takes :only or :except options to specific or omit certain hash keys. Enumerable#to_json passes through its options to each element.  #9751 *Cheah Chu Yeow*
+
+*   BufferedLogger#auto_flushing = N flushes the log every N messages. Buffers with an array instead of string. Disabling auto_flushing still flushes when the buffer hits a maximum size, as a failsafe against memory-gobbling.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed Date#xmlschema for dates outside the range of what can be created with Time #9744 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Fixed that La Paz was included in -25200 and -14400 offsets when it should only be in -14400 #9735 *bermi*
+
+*   Fixed JSON encoding to use quoted keys according to the JSON standard.  #8762 *choonkat, Cheah Chu Yeow*
+
+*   Alias Object#send to send! for Ruby 1.9 forward compatibility.  *Jeremy Kemper*

+*   Backport Object#instance_variable_defined? for Ruby < 1.8.6.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   BufferedLogger#add converts the message to a string.  #9702, #9724 *eigentone, DrMark, Tom Ward*
+
+*   Added ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger as a duck-typing alternative (albeit with no formatter) to the Ruby Logger, which provides a very nice speed bump (inspired by Ezra's buffered logger) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Object#instance_exec produces fewer garbage methods.  *Mauricio Fernandez*
+
+*   Decode json strings as Dates/Times if they're using a YAML-compatible format.  Closes #9614 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed cache_page to use the request url instead of the routing options when picking a save path.  #8614 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Object.subclasses_of includes anonymous subclasses.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+

+
+*   Added call to inspect on non-string classes for the logger #8533 *Coda Hale*
+
+*   Deprecation: remove deprecated :mday option from Time, Date, and DateTime#change.  *Jeremy Kemper*

+
+*   Let alias_attribute work with attributes with initial capital letters (legacy columns etc).  Closes #8596 *mpalmer*
+
+*   Added Hash#except which is the inverse of Hash#slice -- return the hash except the keys that are specified *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added support for pluralization with a different starting letter than the singular version (cow/kine) #4929 *norri_b/Josh Susser*
+
+*   Demote Hash#to_xml to use XmlSimple#xml_in_string so it can't read files or stdin.  #8453 *candlerb, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Backport clean_logger changes to support ruby 1.8.2 *Mislav Marohnić*
+
+*   Added proper handling of arrays #8537 *Josh Susser*
+
+    Before:
+        Hash.from_xml '<images></images>'
+        # => {:images => nil}
+
+        Hash.from_xml '<images><image>foo.jpg</image></images>'
+        # => {:images => {:image => "foo.jpg"}}
+
+        Hash.from_xml '<images><image>foo.jpg</image><image>bar.jpg</image></images>'
+        # => {:images => {:image => ["foo.jpg", "bar.jpg"]}}
+
+    After:
+        Hash.from_xml '<images type="array"></images>'
+        # => {:images => []}
+
+        Hash.from_xml '<images type="array"><image>foo.jpg</image></images>'
+        # => {:images => ["foo.jpg"]}
+
+        Hash.from_xml '<images type="array"><image>foo.jpg</image><image>bar.jpg</image></images>'
+        # => {:images => ["foo.jpg", "bar.jpg"]}
+
+*   Improve Time and Date test coverage.  #8646 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Add Date#since, ago, beginning_of_day, and end_of_day. Date + seconds works now.  #8575 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   String#to_time overflows to DateTime. Add String#to_datetime.  #8572 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Date.yesterday and .tomorrow.  #8571 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Readable Date and DateTime#inspect.  #8570 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Move common DateTime calculations to Date.  #8536 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Added Date#change (like Time#change) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   DateTime#to_time converts to Time unless out of range.  #8512 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Date#to_datetime, #to_s(:rfc822).  #8512 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Time durations use since instead of + for accuracy.  #8513 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   escape <'s and >'s in JSON strings. #8371 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Inflections: MatrixTest -> MatrixTests instead of MatricesTest.  #8496 *jbwiv*
+
+*   Multibyte strings respond_to the String methods they proxy so they can be duck-typed.  #6549 *Tuxie*
+
+*   Array#to_xml yields the builder just like Hash and ActiveRecord::Base.  #8472 *seth*
+
+*   Date, Time, and DateTime support formatting blocks in addition to strftime strings. Introduce :long_ordinal format, e.g. "February 21st, 2005".  #8191 *Coda Hale*
+
+*   Document Object#blank?.  #6491 *Chris Mear*
+
+*   Date, Time, and DateTime#to_json.  #8399 *wycats*
+
+*   Simplify API of assert_difference by passing in an expression that is evaluated before and after the passed in block. See documenation for examples of new API. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added assert_difference and assert_no_difference to test/unit assertions *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Removed breakpointer and Binding.of_caller in favor of relying on ruby-debug by Kent Sibilev since the breakpointer has been broken since Ruby 1.8.4 and will not be coming back *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added parsing of file type in Hash.xml_in so you can easily do file uploads with base64 from an API *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+        <person>
+          <name>David</name>
+          <avatar type="file" name="me.jpg" content_type="image/jpg">R0lGODlhkACZAPUAAM5lcfjrtMQCG=\n</avatar>
+        </person>
+
+    ...becomes:
+
+        attributes = { :person => { :name => "David", :avatar => #<StringIO> } }
+        attributes[:person][:avatar].content_type      # => "image/jpg"
+        attributes[:person][:avatar].original_filename # => "me.jpg"
+        attributes[:person][:avatar].read # => binary data of the file
+
+    Which is duck-type compatible with the files that you get when doing multipart uploads through HTML.
+
+*   Improved multibyte performance by relying less on exception raising #8159 *Blaine*
+
+*   Use XSD-compatible type names for Hash#to_xml and make the converters extendable #8047 *Tim Pope*
+
+*   Added yielding of builder in Hash#to_xml *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Hash#with_indifferent_access now also converts hashes kept in arrays to indifferent access (makes it easier to treat HTML and XML parameters the same) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Hash#to_xml supports YAML attributes.  #7502 *jonathan*
+
+*   Refactor ActiveSupport::JSON to be less obtuse.  Add support for JSON decoding by way of Syck with ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(json_string).  Prevent hash keys that are JavaScript reserved words from being unquoted during encoding.  *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   alias_method_chain preserves the original method's visibility.  #7854 *Jonathan Viney*
+
+*   Update Dependencies to ignore constants inherited from ancestors. Closes #6951. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Array#to_query preserves its ordering.  #7756 *Greg Spurrier*
+
+*   Out-of-range Time calculations transparently overflow to DateTime. Introduce Time#to_datetime.  #7706, #7715 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   DateTime calculations analogous to the Date and Time extensions.  #7693 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Give DateTime correct .to_s implementations, lets it play nice with ActiveRecord quoting.  #7649 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Add File.atomic_write,  allows you to write large files in an atomic manner, preventing users from seeing half written files.  *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Allow users to provide custom formatters to Logger. *Anthony Eden*
+
+*   Hash#to_query CGI-escapes its keys.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Optimize Class Inheritable Attributes so that unnecessary hashes are not created.  Closes #7472 *Bruce Perens*
+
+*   :db format for Date#to_s *Jeremy Kemper*
+        Date.new(2007, 1, 27).to_s(:db) # => '2007-01-27'
+
+*   Added :instance_writer option to #mattr_writer/accessor, #cattr_writer/accessor, and #class_inheritable_writer to skip the creation of the instance writer.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added Hash#to_query to turn a hash of values into a form-encoded query string *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Increase test coverage for subclasses_of. Closes #7335. *Roman2K, Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Remove unused code from Duration#inspect.  Closes #7180.  *Rich Collins*
+
+*   Added test coverage for Inflector.inflections.clear.  Closes #7179. *Rich Collins*
+
+*   ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Handlers::UTF8Handler should raise when a range and an integer are passed in (just like the native implementation).  Closes #7176 *Rich Collins*
+
+*   A couple extra tests for #classify.  Closes #7273. *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Better docs for Object extensions *zackchandler, Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fix that Dates couldn't be subtracted from Dates after [5940].  *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Add Object#acts_like? and Time#acts_like_time? and Date#acts_like_date? to facilitate duck-typing. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Make 1.months and friends accurate by introducing a Duration class.  #6835 *eventualbuddha*
+
+
+## 1.4.2 (March 12th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Ruby 1.8.6 and 1.9 define private Time#to_date and #to_datetime; make them
+    public for compatibility.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Deprecation: warn on stderr if RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER isn't set yet.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+
+## 1.4.1 (February 5th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Optimize Class Inheritable Attributes so that unnecessary hashes are not created.  Closes #7472 *Bruce Perens*

+
+*   Full test coverage for Inflector.  #7228 *Dan Kubb*
+
+
+## 1.4.0 (January 16th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Document Inflector.ordinalize and merge docs from String inflections.  #7023 *smeade*
+
+*   Unbundle flexmock.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fix Dependencies.autoloaded? to ignore anonymous modules. Closes #6561. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Update load once paths to prevent nested once constants from being detected and claimed by an external non-once load. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Deprecation: silence warnings when reporting test errors.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Hash#slice(*keys) returns a new hash with only the given keys. #slice! replaces the hash with only the given keys. Works with HashWithIndifferentAccess also.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   HashWithIndifferentAccess#to_hash converts to a Hash with String keys and the same default value.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fix remove_constant to correctly handle constant names of the form "::A::...". References #6720. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed Array#to_xml when it contains a series of hashes (each piece would get its own XML declaration) #6610 *thkarcher/cyu*
+
+*   Added Time#to_s(:time) which will just return H:M, like 17:44 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add Module#attr_accessor_with_default to initialize value of attribute before setting it. Closes #6538. *Stuart Halloway, Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Hash#to_xml handles keys with the same name as Kernel methods.  #6613 *Jonathan del Strother*
+
+*   Added Time#end_of_day to get 23:59:59 of that day *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Don't quote hash keys in Hash#to_json if they're valid JavaScript identifiers.  Disable this with ActiveSupport::JSON.unquote_hash_key_identifiers = false if you need strict JSON compliance. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Lazily load the Unicode Database in the UTF-8 Handler *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Update dependencies to delete partially loaded constants. *Nicholas Seckar*

+
+*   update XmlSimple to 1.0.10. Closes #6532. *Nick Sieger*
+
+*   Update dependencies to allow constants to be defined alongside their siblings. A common case for this is AR model classes with STI; user.rb might define User, Administrator and Guest for example. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   next_week respects DST changes.  #6483, #5617, #2353, #2509, #4551 *marclove, Rob Biedenharn, rails@roetzel.de, jsolson@damogran.org, drbrain@segment7.net*
+
+*   Expose methods added to Enumerable in the documentation, such as group_by. Closes #6170. *sergeykojin@gmail.com, Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Ensure Chars#tidy_bytes only tidies broken bytes. Closes #6397 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Add 'unloadable', a method used to mark any constant as requiring an unload after each request. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Make core_ext/string/access.rb multibyte safe. Closes #6388 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Make String#chars slicing behaviour consistent with String. Closes #6387 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Pull in latest multibyte patch. Closes #6346 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Add ActiveSupport::Multibyte.  Provides String#chars which lets you deal with strings as a sequence of chars, not of bytes. Closes #6242 *Julian Tarkhanov, Manfred Stienstra, Thijs van der Vossen & Jan Behrens*
+
+*   Fix issue with #class_inheritable_accessor saving updates to the parent class when initialized with an Array or Hash *mojombo*
+
+*   Hash#to_xml supports Bignum and BigDecimal.  #6313 *edibiase*
+
+*   Don't undefine #class in OptionMerger *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Hash.create_from_xml has been renamed to Hash.from_xml, alias will exist until Rails 2.0 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   alias_method_chain works with accessor= methods also.  #6153 *Caio Chassot*
+
+*   Fix loadable_constants_for_path to handle load paths that do not end with a slash. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix logic error in determining what was loaded by a given file. Closes #6039. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Equate Kernel.const_missing with Object.const_missing. Fixes #5988. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add ApplicationController special case to Dependencies. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Don't pad remaining places with in_groups_of if specified padding value is false. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fix cases where empty xml nodes weren't being translated to nil in Hash.create_from_xml *Rick Olso n*
+
+    <written-on type="date"></written-on> # => { :type => 'date' } # WRONG
+    <written-on type="date"></written-on> # => nil # RIGHT
+
+*   Tighten rescue clauses.  #5985 *james@grayproductions.net*
+
+*   Inflections: don't singularize -ies plurals.  *foamdino@gmail.com, Mark Van Holstyn*
+
+*   Update Initializer to use load_once_paths to avoid plugin reloading. References #5852. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Use Array#assoc in ActiveSupport::OrderedHash. *Mauricio Fernandez*
+
+*   Greatly increased performance of String.to_json, which speeds up RJS considerably on large pages, fixes #3473 *Shugo Maeda*
+
+*   Detect missing_constants calls from removed modules and fail accordingly. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Stop using defined? in Dependencies.qualified_const_defined? since defined? may invoke const_missing. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Dependencies can autoload directories of nested classes. *Jeremy Kemper*
+        Example:
+          invoice.rb            class Invoice
+          invoice/lineitem.rb   class Invoice::Lineitem
+
+*   Add Deprecation.silence so that Reloadable does not scold itself. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add debugging logging to Dependencies. Currently can be enabled with Dependencies.log_activity = true; adding to Initializer and documenting is forthcoming. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Replace Reloadable with improvements to the Dependencies mechanism. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   DateTime#to_time gives hour/minute/second resolution.  #5747 *jon.evans@pobox.com*
+
+*   attr_internal to support namespacing and deprecation. Like attr_* except backed by internally-named instance variable. Set attr_internal_naming_format to change the format from the default '@_%s'. *Jeremy Kemper*
+        # def foo()   @foo__rofl      end
+        # def foo=(v) @foo__rofl = v  end
+        self.attr_internal_naming_format = '@%s__rofl'
+        attr_internal :foo
+
+*   Raise fully qualified names upon name errors. #5533 *Lars Pind, Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add extention to obtain the missing constant from NameError instances. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Thoroughly document inflections.  #5700 *petermichaux@gmail.com*
+
+*   Added Module#alias_attribute [Jamis/David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        class Content < ActiveRecord::Base
+          # has a title attribute
+        end
+
+        class Email < ActiveRecord::Base
+          alias_attribute :subject, :title
+        end
+
+        e = Email.find(1)
+        e.title    # => "Superstars"
+        e.subject  # => "Superstars"
+        e.subject? # => true
+        e.subject = "Megastars"
+        e.title    # => "Megastars"
+
+*   Deprecation: easier to work with warning behavior as procs; default behaviors for each environment so users needn't update env.rb; and testing pleasure with assert_deprecated, assert_not_deprecated. *Jeremy Kemper*
+    By default, test prints to $stderr, dev logs, production ignores.
+    Provide your own per-environment in e.g. config/environments/development.rb:
+        ActiveSupport::Deprecation.behavior = Proc.new { |message| raise message }
+
+*   First cut of the Rails Deprecation system.   *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Strip boolean XML content before checking for 'true' *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Customize default BigDecimal formatting. References #5672 *Dave Thomas*
+
+*   Correctly convert <foo nil="true"> to nil when using Hash.create_from_xml.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Optional identity for Enumerable#sum defaults to zero. #5657 *gensym@mac.com*
+
+*   HashWithIndifferentAccess shouldn't confuse false and nil. #5601 *Shugo Maeda*
+
+*   Fixed HashWithIndifferentAccess#default #5586 *chris@seagul.co.uk*
+
+*   More compatible Hash.create_from_xml. #5523 *nunemaker@gmail.com*
+
+*   Added Enumerable#sum for calculating a sum from the elements [David Heinemeier Hansson, jonathan@daikini.com]. Examples:
+
+        [1, 2, 3].sum
+        payments.sum { |p| p.price * p.tax_rate }
+        payments.sum(&:price)
+
+    This is instead of payments.inject(0) { |sum, p| sum + p.price }
+
+*   Correct and clarify Array#to_sentence docs.  #5458 *brad@madriska.com*
+
+*   alias_method_chain preserves method punctuation so foo, foo?, and foo! may be chained with the same feature. *Jeremy Kemper*
+        Example:
+          alias_method_chain :save!, :validation
+        is equivalent to
+          alias_method :save_without_validation!, :save!
+          alias_method :save!, :save_with_validation!
+
+*   Enhance Symbol#to_proc so it works with list objects, such as multi-dimensional arrays. Closes #5295 [nov@yo.rim.or.jp].  Example:
+
+        {1 => "one", 2 => "two", 3 => "three"}.sort_by(&:first).map(&:last)
+        # => ["one", "two", "three"]
+
+*   Added Hash.create_from_xml(string) which will create a hash from a XML string and even typecast if possible [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        Hash.create_from_xml <<-EOT
+          <note>
+            <title>This is a note</title>
+            <created-at type="date">2004-10-10</created-at>
+          </note>
+        EOT
+
+    ...would return:
+
+        { :note => { :title => "This is a note", :created_at => Date.new(2004, 10, 10) } }
+
+*   Added Jim Weirich's excellent FlexMock class to vendor (Copyright 2003, 2004 by Jim Weirich (jim@weriichhouse.org)) -- it's not automatically required, though, so require 'flexmock' is still necessary *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that Module#alias_method_chain should work with both foo? foo! and foo at the same time #4954 *anna@wota.jp*
+
+*   to_xml fixes, features, and speedup: introduce :dasherize option that converts updated_at to updated-at if true (the existing default); binary columns get encoding="base64" attribute; nil values get nil="true" attribute to distinguish empty values; add type information for float columns; allow arbitrarily deep :include; include SQL type information as the type attribute.  #4989 *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   Add OrderedHash#values. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Added Array#to_s(:db) that'll produce a comma-separated list of ids [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        Purchase.find(:all, :conditions => "product_id IN (#{shops.products.to_s(:db)})"
+
+*   Normalize classify's argument to a String so that it plays nice with Symbols. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Strip out leading schema name in classify. References #5139. *Michael Schoen*
+
+*   Remove Enumerable#first_match since break(value) handles the use case well enough. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+    Enumerable#first_match was like detect, but instead of returning the matching element, the yielded value returned. For example:
+
+        user_xml = adapters(:from => User, :to => Xml).first_match do |adapter|
+          adapter.adapt @user
+        end
+
+    But this is just as easily done with:
+
+        user_xml = adapters(:from => User, :to => Xml).each do
+          break adapter.adapt(@user)
+        end
+
+*   Make Array#in_groups_of just return the grouped collection if a block isn't given. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Don't destroy a HashWithIndifferentAccess if symbolize_keys! or  stringify_keys! is called on it. Closes #5076. *Marcel Molina Jr., guy.naor@famundo.com*
+
+*   Document Module::delegate. #5002 *pergesu@gmail.com*
+
+*   Replace alias method chaining with Module#alias_method_chain. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Strip out punctuation on predicates or bang methods being aliased with alias_method_chain since target?_without_feature is not a valid method name. Add tests for Module#alias_method_chain. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Replace Ruby's deprecated append_features in favor of included. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Allow default options in with_options to be overridden. Closes #4480. *murphy@cYcnus.de*
+
+*   Added Module#alias_method_chain *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Updated to Builder 2.0 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add Array#split for dividing arrays into one or more subarrays by value or block. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+## 1.3.1 (April 6th, 2006) ##
+
+*   Clean paths inside of exception messages and traces. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add Pathname.clean_within for cleaning all the paths inside of a string. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   provide an empty Dependencies::LoadingModule.load which prints deprecation warnings.  Lets 1.0 applications function with .13-style environment.rb.

+*   When possible, avoid incorrectly obtaining constants from parent modules. Fixes #4221. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add more tests for dependencies; refactor existing cases. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Move Module#parent and Module#as_load_path into core_ext. Add Module#parent. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add CachingTools::HashCaching to simplify the creation of nested, autofilling hashes. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Remove a hack intended to avoid unloading the same class twice, but which would not work anyways. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Update Object.subclasses_of to locate nested classes. This affects Object.remove_subclasses_of in that nested classes will now be unloaded. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Update Object.remove_subclasses_of to use Class.remove_class, reducing duplication. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added Fixnum#seconds for consistency, so you can say 5.minutes + 30.seconds instead of 5.minutes + 30 #4389 *François Beausoleil*
+
+*   Added option to String#camelize to generate lower-cased camel case by passing in :lower, like "super_man".camelize(:lower) # => "superMan" *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added Hash#diff to show the difference between two hashes *Chris McGrath*
+
+*   Added Time#advance to do precise time time calculations for cases where a month being approximated to 30 days won't do #1860 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Enhance Inflector.underscore to convert '-' into '_' (as the inverse of Inflector.dasherize) *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Switched to_xml to use the xml schema format for datetimes.  This allows the encoding of time zones and should improve operability. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added a note to the documentation for the Date related Numeric extensions to indicate that they're
+    approximations and shouldn't be used for critical calculations. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added Hash#to_xml and Array#to_xml that makes it much easier to produce XML from basic structures [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
+
+        { :name => "David", :street_name => "Paulina", :age => 26, :moved_on => Date.new(2005, 11, 15) }.to_xml
+
+    ...returns:
+
+          <person>
+            <street-name>Paulina</street-name>
+            <name>David</name>
+            <age type="integer">26</age>
+            <moved-on type="date">2005-11-15</moved-on>
+          </person>
+
+*   Moved Jim Weirich's wonderful Builder from Action Pack to Active Support (it's simply too useful to be stuck in AP) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that Array#to_sentence will return "" on an empty array instead of ", and" #3842, #4031 *rubyonrails@beautifulpixel.com*
+
+*   Add Enumerable#group_by for grouping collections based on the result of some
+    block. Useful, for example, for grouping records by date.
+
+    ex.
+
+         latest_transcripts.group_by(&:day).each do |day, transcripts|
+           p "#{day} -> #{transcripts.map(&:class) * ', '}"
+         end
+         "2006-03-01 -> Transcript"
+         "2006-02-28 -> Transcript"
+         "2006-02-27 -> Transcript, Transcript"
+         "2006-02-26 -> Transcript, Transcript"
+
+    Add Array#in_groups_of, for iterating over an array in groups of a certain
+    size.
+
+    ex.
+
+         %w(1 2 3 4 5 6 7).in_groups_of(3) {|g| p g}
+         ["1", "2", "3"]
+         ["4", "5", "6"]
+         ["7", nil, nil]
+
+    *Marcel Molina Jr., Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Added Kernel#daemonize to turn the current process into a daemon that can be killed with a TERM signal *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add 'around' methods to Logger,  to make it easy to log before and after messages for a given block as requested in #3809. [Michael Koziarski]  Example:
+
+    logger.around_info("Start rendering component (#{options.inspect}): ",
+                         "\n\nEnd of component rendering") { yield }
+
+*   Added Time#beginning_of_quarter #3607 *cohen.jeff@gmail.com*
+
+*   Fix Object.subclasses_of to only return currently defined objects *Jonathan Viney <jonathan@bluewire.net.nz>*
+
+*   Fix constantize to properly handle names beginning with '::'. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Make String#last return the string instead of nil when it is shorter than the limit [Scott Barron].
+
+*   Added delegation support to Module that allows multiple delegations at once (unlike Forwardable in the stdlib) [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
+
+        class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_one :subscription
+          delegate :free?, :paying?, :to => :subscription
+          delegate :overdue?, :to => "subscription.last_payment"
+        end
+
+        account.free?    # => account.subscription.free?
+        account.overdue? # => account.subscription.last_payment.overdue?
+
+*   Fix Reloadable to handle the case where a class that has been 'removed' has not yet been garbage collected. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Don't allow Reloadable to be included into Modules.
+
+*   Remove LoadingModule. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add documentation for Reloadable::Subclasses. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add Reloadable::Subclasses which handles the common case where a base class should not be reloaded, but its subclasses should be. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Further improvements to reloading code *Nicholas Seckar, Trevor Squires*
+
+    - All classes/modules which include Reloadable can define reloadable? for fine grained control of reloading
+    - Class.remove_class uses Module#parent to access the parent module
+    - Class.remove_class expanded to handle multiple classes in a single call
+    - LoadingModule.clear! has been removed as it is no longer required
+    - Module#remove_classes_including has been removed in favor of Reloadable.reloadable_classes
+
+*   Added reusable reloading support through the inclusion of the Relodable module that all subclasses of ActiveRecord::Base, ActiveRecord::Observer, ActiveController::Base, and ActionMailer::Base automatically gets. This means that these classes will be reloaded by the dispatcher when Dependencies.mechanism = :load. You can make your own models reloadable easily:
+
+        class Setting
+          include Reloadable
+        end
+
+    Reloading a class is done by removing its constant which will cause it to be loaded again on the next reference. *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added auto-loading support for classes in modules, so Conductor::Migration will look for conductor/migration.rb and Conductor::Database::Settings will look for conductor/database/settings.rb *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add Object#instance_exec, like instance_eval but passes its arguments to the block.  (Active Support will not override the Ruby 1.9 implementation of this method.) *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Add Proc#bind(object) for changing a proc or block's self by returning a Method bound to the given object. Based on why the lucky stiff's "cloaker" method. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Fix merge and dup for hashes with indifferent access #3404 *Ken Miller*
+
+*   Fix the requires in option_merger_test to unbreak AS tests. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Make HashWithIndifferentAccess#update behave like Hash#update by returning the hash. #3419, #3425 *asnem@student.ethz.ch, JanPrill@blauton.de, Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Add ActiveSupport::JSON and Object#to_json for converting Ruby objects to JSON strings. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Add Object#with_options for DRYing up multiple calls to methods having shared options. [Sam Stephenson]  Example:
+
+    ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
+        # Account routes
+        map.with_options(:controller => 'account') do |account|
+          account.home   '',       :action => 'dashboard'
+          account.signup 'signup', :action => 'new'
+          account.logout 'logout', :action => 'logout'
+        end
+    end
+
+*   Introduce Dependencies.warnings_on_first_load setting.  If true, enables warnings on first load of a require_dependency.  Otherwise, loads without warnings.  Disabled (set to false) by default.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Active Support is warnings-safe.  #1792 *Eric Hodel*
+
+*   Introduce enable_warnings counterpart to silence_warnings.  Turn warnings on when loading a file for the first time if Dependencies.mechanism == :load.  Common mistakes such as redefined methods will print warnings to stderr.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add Symbol#to_proc, which allows for, e.g. [:foo, :bar].map(&:to_s). *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added the following methods [Marcel Molina Jr., Sam Stephenson]:
+    * Object#copy_instance_variables_from(object) to copy instance variables from one object to another
+    * Object#extended_by to get an instance's included/extended modules
+    * Object#extend_with_included_modules_from(object) to extend an instance with the modules from another instance
+
+## 1.2.5 (December 13th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Become part of Rails 1.0
+
+*   Rename Version constant to VERSION. #2802 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+## 1.2.3 (November 7th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Change Inflector#constantize to use eval instead of const_get. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix const_missing handler to ignore the trailing '.rb' on files when comparing paths. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Define kernel.rb methods in "class Object" instead of "module Kernel" to work around a Windows peculiarity *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Fix broken tests caused by incomplete loading of active support. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix status pluralization bug so status_codes doesn't get pluralized as statuses_code.  #2758 *keithm@infused.org*
+
+*   Added Kernel#silence_stderr to silence stderr for the duration of the given block *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Changed Kernel#` to print a message to stderr (like Unix) instead of raising Errno::ENOENT on Win32 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Changed 0.blank? to false rather than true since it violates everyone's expectation of blankness.  #2518, #2705 *rails@jeffcole.net*
+
+*   When loading classes using const_missing, raise a NameError if and only if the file we tried to load was not present. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added petabytes and exebytes to numeric extensions #2397 *timct@mac.com*
+
+*   Added Time#end_of_month to accompany Time#beginning_of_month #2514 *Jens-Christian Fischer*
+
+
+## 1.2.2 (October 26th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Set Logger.silencer = false to disable Logger#silence.  Useful for debugging fixtures.
+
+*   Add title case method to String to do, e.g., 'action_web_service'.titlecase #  => 'Action Web Service'. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+
+## 1.2.1 (October 19th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Classify generated routing code as framework code to avoid appearing in application traces. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Show all framework frames in the framework trace. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+
+## 1.2.0 (October 16th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Update Exception extension to show the first few framework frames in an application trace. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added Exception extension to provide support for clean backtraces. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Updated whiny nil to be more concise and useful. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added Enumerable#first_match *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed that Time#change should also reset usec when also resetting minutes #2459 *ikeda@dream.big.or.jp*
+
+*   Fix Logger compatibility for distributions that don't keep Ruby and its standard library in sync.
+
+*   Replace '%e' from long and short time formats as Windows does not support it. #2344. *Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>*
+
+*   Added to_s(:db) to Range, so you can get "BETWEEN '2005-12-10' AND '2005-12-12'" from Date.new(2005, 12, 10)..Date.new(2005, 12, 12) (and likewise with Times)
+
+*   Moved require_library_or_gem into Kernel. #1992 *Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>*
+
+*   Add :rfc822 as an option for Time#to_s (to get rfc822-formatted times)
+
+*   Chain the const_missing hook to any previously existing hook so rails can play nicely with rake
+
+*   Clean logger is compatible with both 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 Logger.  #2263 *Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>*
+
+*   Added native, faster implementations of .blank? for the core types #2286 *skae*
+
+*   Fixed clean logger to work with Ruby 1.8.3 Logger class #2245
+
+*   Fixed memory leak with Active Record classes when Dependencies.mechanism = :load #1704 *Chris McGrath*
+
+*   Fixed Inflector.underscore for use with acronyms, so HTML becomes html instead of htm_l #2173 *k@v2studio.com*
+
+*   Fixed dependencies related infinite recursion bug when a controller file does not contain a controller class. Closes #1760. *rcolli2@tampabay.rr.com*
+
+*   Fixed inflections for status, quiz, move #2056 *deirdre@deirdre.net*
+
+*   Added Hash#reverse_merge, Hash#reverse_merge!, and Hash#reverse_update to ease the use of default options
+
+*   Added Array#to_sentence that'll turn ['one', 'two', 'three'] into "one, two, and three" #2157 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Added Kernel#silence_warnings to turn off warnings temporarily for the passed block
+
+*   Added String#starts_with? and String#ends_with? #2118 *Thijs van der Vossen*
+
+*   Added easy extendability to the inflector through Inflector.inflections (using the Inflector::Inflections singleton class). Examples:
+
+        Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
+          inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, '\1\2en'
+          inflect.singular /^(ox)en/i, '\1'
+
+          inflect.irregular 'octopus', 'octopi'
+
+          inflect.uncountable "equipment"
+        end
+
+*   Added String#at, String#from, String#to, String#first, String#last in ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::String::Access to ease access to individual characters and substrings in a string serving basically as human names for range access.
+
+*   Make Time#last_month work when invoked on the 31st of a month.
+
+*   Add Time.days_in_month, and make Time#next_month work when invoked on the 31st of a month
+
+*   Fixed that Time#midnight would have a non-zero usec on some platforms #1836
+
+*   Fixed inflections of "index/indices" #1766 *damn_pepe@gmail.com*
+
+*   Added stripping of _id to String#humanize, so "employee_id" becomes "Employee" #1574 *Justin French*
+
+*   Factor Fixnum and Bignum extensions into Integer extensions *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Hooked #ordinalize into Fixnum and Bignum classes. *Nicholas Seckar, danp*
+
+*   Added Fixnum#ordinalize to turn 1.ordinalize to "1st", 3.ordinalize to "3rd", and 10.ordinalize to "10th" and so on #1724 *paul@cnt.org*
+
+
+## 1.1.1 (11 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added more efficient implementation of the development mode reset of classes #1638 *Chris McGrath*
+
+
+## 1.1.0 (6 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed conflict with Glue gem #1606 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added new rules to the Inflector to deal with more unusual plurals mouse/louse => mice/lice, information => information, ox => oxen, virus => viri, archive => archives #1571, #1583, #1490, #1599, #1608 *foamdino@gmail.com/others*
+
+*   Fixed memory leak with Object#remove_subclasses_of, which inflicted a Rails application running in development mode with a ~20KB leak per request #1289 *Chris McGrath*
+
+*   Made 1.year == 365.25.days to account for leap years.  This allows you to do User.find(:all, :conditions => ['birthday > ?', 50.years.ago]) without losing a lot of days.  #1488 *tuxie@dekadance.se*
+
+*   Added an exception if calling id on nil to WhinyNil #584 *kevin-temp@writesoon.com*
+
+*   Added Fix/Bignum#multiple_of? which returns true on 14.multiple_of?(7) and false on 16.multiple_of?(7) #1464 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Added even? and odd? to work with Bignums in addition to Fixnums #1464 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Fixed Time#at_beginning_of_week returned the next Monday instead of the previous one when called on a Sunday #1403 *jean.helou@gmail.com*
+
+*   Increased the speed of indifferent hash access by using Hash#default.  #1436 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added that "   " is now also blank? (using strip if available)
+
+*   Fixed Dependencies so all modules are able to load missing constants #1173 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed the Inflector to underscore strings containing numbers, so Area51Controller becomes area51_controller #1176 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed that HashWithIndifferentAccess stringified all keys including symbols, ints, objects, and arrays #1162 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed Time#last_year to go back in time, not forward #1278 *fabien@odilat.com*
+
+*   Fixed the pluralization of analysis to analyses #1295 *seattle@rootimage.msu.edu*
+
+*   Fixed that Time.local(2005,12).months_since(1) would raise "ArgumentError: argument out of range" #1311 *jhahn@niveon.com*
+
+*   Added silencing to the default Logger class
+
+
+## 1.0.4 (19th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that in some circumstances controllers outside of modules may have hidden ones inside modules. For example, admin/content might have been hidden by /content. #1075 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed inflection of perspectives and similar words #1045 *Thijs van der Vossen*
+
+*   Added Fixnum#even? and Fixnum#odd?
+
+*   Fixed problem with classes being required twice. Object#const_missing now uses require_dependency to load files. It used to use require_or_load which would cause models to be loaded twice, which was not good for validations and other class methods #971 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+
+## 1.0.3 (27th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed Inflector.pluralize to handle capitalized words #932 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added Object#suppress which allows you to make a saner choice around with exceptions to swallow #980. Example:
+
+        suppress(ZeroDivisionError) { 1/0 }
+
+    ...instead of:
+
+        1/0 rescue nil # BAD, EVIL, DIRTY.
+
+
+## 1.0.2 (22th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added Kernel#returning -- a Ruby-ized realization of the K combinator, courtesy of Mikael Brockman.
+
+        def foo
+          returning values = [] do
+            values << 'bar'
+            values << 'baz'
+          end
+        end
+
+        foo # => ['bar', 'baz']
+
+
+## 1.0.1 (7th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed Hash#indifferent_access to also deal with include? and fetch and nested hashes #726 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added Object#blank? -- see http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/objectBlank.html #783 *_why the lucky stiff*
+
+*   Added inflection rules for "sh" words, like "wish" and "fish" #755 *phillip@pjbsoftware.com*
+
+*   Fixed an exception when using Ajax based requests from Safari because Safari appends a \000 to the post body. Symbols can't have \000 in them so indifferent access would throw an exception in the constructor. Indifferent hashes now use strings internally instead. #746 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added String#to_time and String#to_date for wrapping ParseDate
+
+
+## 1.0.0 (24th February, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added TimeZone as the first of a number of value objects that among others Active Record can use rich value objects using composed_of #688 *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added Date::Conversions for getting dates in different convenient string representations and other objects
+
+*   Added Time::Conversions for getting times in different convenient string representations and other objects
+
+*   Added Time::Calculations to ask for things like Time.now.tomorrow, Time.now.yesterday, Time.now.months_ago(4) #580 [DP|Flurin]. Examples:
+
+        "Later today"         => now.in(3.hours),
+        "Tomorrow morning"    => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
+        "Tomorrow afternoon"  => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 14),
+        "In a couple of days" => now.tomorrow.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
+        "Next monday"         => now.next_week.change(:hour => 9),
+        "In a month"          => now.next_month.change(:hour => 9),
+        "In 6 months"         => now.months_since(6).change(:hour => 9),
+        "In a year"           => now.in(1.year).change(:hour => 9)
+
+*   Upgraded to breakpoint 92 which fixes:
+
+        * overload IRB.parse_opts(), fixes #443
+          => breakpoints in tests work even when running them via rake
+        * untaint handlers, might fix an issue discussed on the Rails ML
+        * added verbose mode to breakpoint_client
+        * less noise caused by breakpoint_client by default
+        * ignored TerminateLineInput exception in signal handler
+          => quiet exit on Ctrl-C
+
+*   Fixed Inflector for words like "news" and "series" that are the same in plural and singular #603 [echion], #615 *marcenuc*
+
+*   Added Hash#stringify_keys and Hash#stringify_keys!
+
+*   Added IndifferentAccess as a way to wrap a hash by a symbol-based store that also can be accessed by string keys
+
+*   Added Inflector.constantize to turn "Admin::User" into a reference for the constant Admin::User
+
+*   Added that Inflector.camelize and Inflector.underscore can deal with modules like turning "Admin::User" into "admin/user" and back
+
+*   Added Inflector.humanize to turn attribute names like employee_salary into "Employee salary". Used by automated error reporting in AR.
+
+*   Added availability of class inheritable attributes to the masses #477 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+        class Foo
+          class_inheritable_reader :read_me
+          class_inheritable_writer :write_me
+          class_inheritable_accessor :read_and_write_me
+          class_inheritable_array :read_and_concat_me
+          class_inheritable_hash :read_and_update_me
+        end
+
+        # Bar gets a clone of (not a reference to) Foo's attributes.
+        class Bar < Foo
+        end
+
+        Bar.read_and_write_me == Foo.read_and_write_me
+        Bar.read_and_write_me = 'bar'
+        Bar.read_and_write_me != Foo.read_and_write_me
+
+*   Added Inflections as an extension on String, so Inflector.pluralize(Inflector.classify(name)) becomes name.classify.pluralize #476 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added Byte operations to Numeric, so 5.5.megabytes + 200.kilobytes #461 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed that Dependencies.reload can't load the same file twice #420 *Kent Sibilev*
+
+*   Added Fixnum#ago/until, Fixnum#since/from_now #450 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added that Inflector now accepts Symbols and Classes by calling .to_s on the word supplied
+
+*   Added time unit extensions to Fixnum that'll return the period in seconds, like 2.days + 4.hours.

+  # The block will be called asynchronously whenever someone instruments "render":
+  #
+  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.instrument("render", :extra => :information) do
   #     render :text => "Foo"
   #   end
   #
-  #   event = @events.first
-  #   event.name      # => :render
+  #   event = events.first
+  #   event.name      # => "render"
   #   event.duration  # => 10 (in milliseconds)
   #   event.payload   # => { :extra => :information }
   #
-  # When subscribing to Notifications, you can pass a pattern, to only consume
-  # events that match the pattern:
+  # The block in the +subscribe+ call gets the name of the event, start
+  # timestamp, end timestamp, a string with a unique identifier for that event
+  # (something like "535801666f04d0298cd6"), and a hash with the payload, in
+  # that order.
+  #
+  # If an exception happens during that particular instrumentation the payload will
+  # have a key +:exception+ with an array of two elements as value: a string with
+  # the name of the exception class, and the exception message.
+  #
+  # As the previous example depicts, the class +ActiveSupport::Notifications::Event+
+  # is able to take the arguments as they come and provide an object-oriented
+  # interface to that data.
+  #
+  # You can also subscribe to all events whose name matches a certain regexp:
+  #
+  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe(/render/) do |*args|
+  #     ...
+  #   end
+  #
+  # and even pass no argument to +subscribe+, in which case you are subscribing
+  # to all events.
+  #
+  # == Temporary Subscriptions
   #
-  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe(/render/) do |event|
-  #     @render_events << event
+  # Sometimes you do not want to subscribe to an event for the entire life of
+  # the application. There are two ways to unsubscribe.
+  #
+  # WARNING: The instrumentation framework is designed for long-running subscribers,
+  # use this feature sparingly because it wipes some internal caches and that has
+  # a negative impact on performance.
+  #
+  # === Subscribe While a Block Runs
+  #
+  # You can subscribe to some event temporarily while some block runs. For
+  # example, in
+  #
+  #   callback = lambda {|*args| ... }
+  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribed(callback, "sql.active_record") do
+  #     ...
+  #   end
+  #
+  # the callback will be called for all "sql.active_record" events instrumented
+  # during the execution of the block. The callback is unsubscribed automatically
+  # after that.
+  #
+  # === Manual Unsubscription
+  #
+  # The +subscribe+ method returns a subscriber object:
+  #
+  #   subscriber = ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe("render") do |*args|
+  #     ...
   #   end
   #
+  # To prevent that block from being called anymore, just unsubscribe passing
+  # that reference:
+  #
+  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.unsubscribe(subscriber)
+  #
+  # == Default Queue
+  #
   # Notifications ships with a queue implementation that consumes and publish events
   # to log subscribers in a thread. You can use any queue implementation you want.

-*Rails 3.2.0 (unreleased)*
-
-* Scaffold returns 204 No Content for API requests without content. This makes scaffold work with jQuery out of the box. [José Valim]
-
-* Updated Rails::Rack::Logger middleware to apply any tags set in config.log_tags to the newly ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging Rails.logger. This makes it easy to tag log lines with debug information like subdomain and request id -- both very helpful in debugging multi-user production applications [DHH]
-
-* Default options to `rails new` can be set in ~/.railsrc [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-* Added destroy alias to Rails engines. [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-* Added destroy alias for Rails command line. This allows the following: `rails d model post`. [Andrey Ognevsky]
-
-* Attributes on scaffold and model generators default to string. This allows the following: "rails g scaffold Post title body:text author" [José Valim]
-
-* Removed old plugin generator (`rails generate plugin`) in favor of `rails plugin new` command. [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-* Removed old 'config.paths.app.controller' API in favor of 'config.paths["app/controller"]' API. [Guillermo Iguaran]
-
-
-*Rails 3.1.1
-
-* Add jquery-rails to Gemfile of plugins, test/dummy app needs it. Closes #3091. [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Add config.assets.initialize_on_precompile which, when set to false, forces
-  `rake assets:precompile` to load the application but does not initialize it.
-
-  To the app developer, this means configuration add in
-  config/initializers/* will not be executed.
-
-  Plugins developers need to special case their initializers that are
-  meant to be run in the assets group by adding :group => :assets.
-
-
-*Rails 3.1.0 (August 30, 2011)*
-
-* The default database schema file is written as UTF-8. [Aaron Patterson]
-
-* Generated apps with --dev or --edge flags depend on git versions of
-sass-rails and coffee-rails. [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Rack::Sendfile middleware is used only if x_sendfile_header is present. [Santiago Pastorino]
-
-* Add JavaScript Runtime name to the Rails Info properties. [DHH]
-
-* Make pp enabled by default in Rails console. [Akira Matsuda]
-
-* Add alias `r` for rails runner. [Jordi Romero]
-
-* Make sprockets/railtie require explicit and add --skip-sprockets to app generator [José Valim]
-
-* Added Rails.groups that automatically handles Rails.env and ENV["RAILS_GROUPS"] [José Valim]
-
-* The new rake task assets:clean removes precompiled assets. [fxn]
-
-* Application and plugin generation run bundle install unless --skip-gemfile or --skip-bundle. [fxn]
-
-* Fixed database tasks for jdbc* adapters #jruby [Rashmi Yadav]
-
-* Template generation for jdbcpostgresql  #jruby [Vishnu Atrai]
-
-* Template generation for jdbcmysql and jdbcsqlite3 #jruby [Arun Agrawal]
-
-* The -j option of the application generator accepts an arbitrary string. If passed "foo",
-the gem "foo-rails" is added to the Gemfile, and the application JavaScript manifest
-requires "foo" and "foo_ujs". As of this writing "prototype-rails" and "jquery-rails"
-exist and provide those files via the asset pipeline. Default is "jquery". [fxn]
-
-* jQuery is no longer vendored, it is provided from now on by the jquery-rails gem. [fxn]
-
-* Prototype and Scriptaculous are no longer vendored, they are provided from now on
-by the prototype-rails gem. [fxn]
-
-* The scaffold controller will now produce SCSS file if Sass is available [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-* The controller and resource generators will now automatically produce asset stubs (this can be turned off with --skip-assets). These stubs will use Coffee and Sass, if those libraries are available. [DHH]
-
-* jQuery is the new default JavaScript library. [fxn]
-
-* Changed scaffold, application, and mailer generator to create Ruby 1.9 style hash when running on Ruby 1.9 [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-  So instead of creating something like:
-
-    redirect_to users_path, :notice => "User has been created"
-
-  it will now be like this:
-
-    redirect_to users_path, notice: "User has been created"
-
-  You can also passing `--old-style-hash` to make Rails generate old style hash even you're on Ruby 1.9
-
-* Changed scaffold_controller generator to create format block for JSON instead of XML [Prem Sichanugrist]
-
-* Add using Turn with natural language test case names for test_help.rb when running with minitest (Ruby 1.9.2+) [DHH]
-
-* Direct logging of Active Record to STDOUT so it's shown inline with the results in the console [DHH]
-
-* Added `config.force_ssl` configuration which loads Rack::SSL middleware and force all requests to be under HTTPS protocol [DHH, Prem Sichanugrist, and Josh Peek]
-
-* Added `rails plugin new` command which generates rails plugin with gemspec, tests and dummy application for testing [Piotr Sarnacki]
-
-* Added -j parameter with jquery/prototype as options. Now you can create your apps with jQuery using `rails new myapp -j jquery`. The default is still Prototype. [siong1987]
-
-* Added Rack::Etag and Rack::ConditionalGet to the default middleware stack [José Valim]

-
-    cookies.signed[:discount]
-    # => 45 (if the cookie was changed, you'll get a InvalidSignature exception)
-
-    cookies.permanent.signed[:remember_me] = current_user.id
-    # => Set-Cookie: discount=BAhU--848956038e692d7046deab32b7131856ab20e14e; path=/; expires=Sun, 16-Dec-2029 03:24:16 GMT
-
-  ...to use the signed cookies, you need to set a secret to ActionController::Base.cookie_verifier_secret (automatically done in config/initializers/cookie_verification_secret.rb for new Rails applications).
-
-* Added config/initializers/cookie_verification_secret.rb with an auto-generated secret for using ActionController::Base#cookies.signed [DHH]

-
-    script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/request_profiler.git
-
-* Add a rake task to apply a template to an existing application : rake rails:template LOCATION=~/template.rb [Pratik Naik]
-
-* Add "-m/--template" option to Rails generator to apply a template to the generated application. [Jeremy McAnally]
-
-    This has been extracted from rg - http://github.com/jeremymcanally/rg
-
-    Example:
-
-        # template.rb
-
-        # Install plugins from git or svn
-        plugin "will-paginate", :git => "git://github.com/mislav/will_paginate.git"
-        plugin "old-restful-auth", :svn => "http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/restful_authentication/"
-
-        # Add gems to environment.rb
-        gem "jeremymcanally-context"
-        gem "bluecloth"
-
-        # Vendor file. Data in a string or...
-        vendor("borrowed.rb", <<CODE
-          def helpful_method
-            do_something_helpful_here
-          end
-        CODE
-
-        # ...file data from block return value.
-        # #initializer creates a new initializer file
-        initializer("crypto.rb") do
-          salt = "--#{Time.now}--#{rand}--#{srand(Time.now.to_i)}"
-
-          "SPECIAL_SALT = '#{salt}'"
-        end
-
-    Usage:
-
-      To use a template, provide a file path or URL:
-
-      1. Using a local file :
-
-        rails <application name> -m /path/to/my/template.rb
-
-      2. Or directly from a URL :
-
-        rails <application name> --template=http://gist.github.com/31208.txt
-
-* Extracted the process scripts (inspector, reaper, spawner) into the plugin irs_process_scripts [David Heinemeier Hansson]

-
-* Added app/[models|controllers|helpers] to the load path for plugins that has an app directory (go engines ;)) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Add config.preload_frameworks to load all frameworks at startup. Default to false so Rails autoloads itself as it's used. Turn this on for Passenger and JRuby. Also turned on by config.threadsafe!  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add a rake task to generate dispatchers : rake rails:generate_dispatchers [Pratik Naik]
-
-* "rails <app>" will not generate public/dispatch.cgi/fcgi/rb files by default now. Please use "--with-dispatchers" option if you need them. [Yaroslav Markin, Pratik Naik]
-
-* Added rake rails:update:application_controller to renamed application.rb to application_controller.rb -- included in rake rails:update so upgrading to 2.3 will automatically trigger it #1439 [kastner]
-
-* Added Rails.backtrace_cleaner as an accessor for the Rails::BacktraceCleaner instance used by the framework to cut down on backtrace noise and config/initializers/backtrace_silencers.rb to add your own (or turn them all off) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Switch from Test::Unit::TestCase to ActiveSupport::TestCase.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added config.i18n settings gatherer to config/environment, auto-loading of all locales in config/locales/*.rb,yml, and config/locales/en.yml as a sample locale [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Renamed application.rb to application_controller.rb and removed all the special casing that was in place to support the former. You must do this rename in your own application when you upgrade to this version [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-
-*2.2.1 [RC2] (November 14th, 2008)*

-
-* rake time:zones:local finds correct base utc offset for zones in the Southern Hemisphere [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Don't require rails/gem_builder during rails initialization, it's only needed for the gems:build task. [Rick Olson]
-
-* script/performance/profiler compatibility with the ruby-prof >= 0.5.0. Closes #9176. [Jonathan del Strother]
-
-* Flesh out rake gems:unpack to unpack all gems, and add rake gems:build for native extensions. #11513 [ddollar]
-
-  rake gems:unpack             # unpacks all gems
-  rake gems:unpack GEM=mygem   # unpacks only the gem 'mygem'

-
-* Add config.active_support for future configuration options.  Also, add more new Rails 3 config settings to new_rails_defaults.rb [Rick Olson]
-
-* Add Rails.logger, Rails.root, Rails.env and Rails.cache shortcuts for RAILS_* constants [Pratik Naik]
-
-* Allow files in plugins to be reloaded like the rest of the application.  [Rick Olson]
-
-  Enables or disables plugin reloading.
-
-    config.reload_plugins = true
-
-  You can get around this setting per plugin.
-  If #reload_plugins? == false (DEFAULT), add this to your plugin's init.rb to make it reloadable:
-
-    Dependencies.load_once_paths.delete lib_path
-
-  If #reload_plugins? == true, add this to your plugin's init.rb to only load it once:
-
-    Dependencies.load_once_paths << lib_path
-
-* Small tweak to allow plugins to specify gem dependencies.  [Rick Olson]
-
-  # OLD open_id_authentication plugin init.rb
-  require 'yadis'
-  require 'openid'

-
-  # NEW
-  config.gem "ruby-openid", :lib => "openid", :version => "1.1.4"
-  config.gem "ruby-yadis",  :lib => "yadis",  :version => "0.3.4"
-
-  config.after_initialize do
-    ActionController::Base.send :include, OpenIdAuthentication

-    config.gem "hpricot", :version => '0.6', :source => "http://code.whytheluckystiff.net"
-    config.gem "aws-s3", :lib => "aws/s3"
-  end
-
-  # List required gems.
-  rake gems
-
-  # Install all required gems:
-  rake gems:install
-
-  # Unpack specified gem to vendor/gems/gem_name-x.x.x
-  rake gems:unpack GEM=bj
-
-* Removed the default .htaccess configuration as there are so many good deployment options now (kept it as an example in README) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* config.time_zone accepts TZInfo::Timezone identifiers as well as Rails TimeZone identifiers [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Rails::Initializer#initialize_time_zone raises an error if value assigned to config.time_zone is not recognized. Rake time zone tasks only require ActiveSupport instead of entire environment [Geoff Buesing]
-
-* Stop adding the antiquated test/mocks/* directories and only add them to the path if they're still there for legacy reasons [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added that gems can now be plugins if they include rails/init.rb #11444 [John Barnette]
-

-* Changed the default database from mysql to sqlite3, so now running "rails myapp" will have a config/database.yml that's setup for SQLite3 (which in OS X Leopard is installed by default, so is the gem, so everything Just Works with no database configuration at all). To get a Rails application preconfigured for MySQL, just run "rails -d mysql myapp" [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Turned on ActionView::Base.cache_template_loading by default in config/environments/production.rb to prevent file system stat calls for every template loading to see if it changed (this means that you have to restart the application to see template changes in production mode) [David Heinemeier Hansson]

-* Generated fixtures should not specify ids since theyre expected to be foxy fixtures #10330 [John Barnette]
-
-* Update to Prototype -r8232.  [sam]
-

-
-* Added a default 422.html page to be rendered when ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid, ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved, or ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken is raised [David Heinemeier Hansson]

-
-	For example:
-
-	ruby script/generation migration AddSomeStuffToCustomers first_name:string last_name:string
-
-	or
-
-	ruby script/generation migration RemoveSomeStuffFromCustomers first_name:string last_name:string
-
-* Add ActiveResource to Rails::Info.  Closes #8741 [Chris Kampmeier]
-

-
-* Automatically generate add/remove column commands in specially named migrations like AddLocationToEvent.  Closes #9006 [Ryan Davis]
-
-* Default to plural table name in Rails Generator if ActiveRecord is not present.  Closes #8963 [evan]
-
-* Added rake routes for listing all the defined routes in the system.  #8795 [Josh Peek]
-
-* db:create creates the database for the current environment if it's on localhost. db:create:all creates local databases for all environments.  #8783 [matt]
-

-
-* Fix that FCGIs would leave log files open when asked to shut down by USR2.  #3028 [Sebastian Kanthak, Josh Peek]
-

-
-* Fix syntax error in dispatcher than wrecked failsafe responses.  #8625 [mtitorenko]
-
-* Scaffolded validation errors set the appropriate HTTP status for XML responses.  #6946, #8622 [Manfred Stienstra, mmmultiworks]

-
-* Add db:create, drop, reset, charset, and collation tasks.  #8448 [matt]
-
-* Scaffold generator depends on model generator instead of duplicating it.  #7222 [bscofield]
-
-* Scaffold generator tests.  #8443 [pelle]
-
-* Generated scaffold functional tests use assert_difference.  #8421 [Norbert Crombach]
-
-* Update to Prototype 1.5.1.  [Sam Stephenson]
-

-
-* Updated resource_scaffold and model generators to use short-hand style migrations [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Updated initializer to only load #{RAILS_ENV}.rb once. Added deprecation warning for config.breakpoint_server. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Removed breakpointer and Binding.of_caller in favor of relying on ruby-debug by Kent Sibilev since the breakpointer has been broken since Ruby 1.8.4 and will not be coming back [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-  To use the new debugger, start your server with script/server --debugger and insert a call to  'debugger'
-  (instead of 'breakpoint') where you want to jump into the debugger.
-
-  BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY NOTE: You must remove the default line 12 from config/environments/development.rb:
-
-    config.breakpoint_server = true
-
-  This configuration option is no longer available. Rails will fail to start in development mode as long as
-  that's still present.
-
-* Resource scaffolding returns the created entity.to_xml.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Resource scaffolding responds to new.xml.  #8185 [Eric Mill]
-
-* Include Active Resource in rails:freeze:edge rake task.  [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Include Active Resource instead of Action Web Service [David Heinemeier Hansson] You can add AWS back with this in config/environment.rb:
-
-    config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionwebservice/lib )
-
-  ...or just gem 'actionwebservice'
-
-* Give generate scaffold a more descriptive database message.  Closes #7316 [Jeremy McAnally]
-
-* Canonicalize RAILS_ROOT by using File.expand_path on Windows, which doesn't have to worry about symlinks, and Pathname#realpath elsewhere, which respects symlinks in relative paths but is incompatible with Windows.  #6755 [Jeremy Kemper, trevor]
-
-* Deprecation: remove components from controller paths.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add environment variable RAILS_DEFAULT_DATABASE, which allows the builtin default of 'mysql' to be overridden. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Windows: include MinGW in RUBY_PLATFORM check.  #2982 [okkez000@gmail.com, Kaspar Schiess]
-
-* Split out the basic plugin locator functionality into an abstract super class. Add a FileSystemLocator to do the job of checking the plugin_paths for plugins. Add plugin_locators configuration option which will iterate over the set of plugin locators and load each of the plugin loaders they return. Rename locater everywhere to locator. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Split plugin location and loading out of the initializer and into a new Plugin namespace, which includes Plugin::Locater and Plugin::Loader. The loader class that is used can be customized using the config.plugin_loader option.  Those monkey patching the plugin loading subsystem take note, the internals changing here will likely break your modifications. The good news is that it should be substantially easier to hook into the plugin locating and loading process now.  [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Added assumption that all plugin creators desire to be sharing individuals and release their work under the MIT license [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added source-annotations extractor tasks to rake [Jamis Buck]. This allows you to add FIXME, OPTIMIZE, and TODO comments to your source code that can then be extracted in concert with rake notes (shows all), rake notes:fixme, rake notes:optimize and rake notes:todo.
-
-* Added fixtures :all to test_helper.rb to assume that most people just want all their fixtures loaded all the time [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added config/initializers where all ruby files within it are automatically loaded after the Rails configuration is done, so you don't have to litter the environment.rb file with a ton of mixed stuff [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* For new apps, generate a random secret for the cookie-based session store.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Stop swallowing errors during rake test [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Update Rails Initializer to use ActionController::Base#view_paths [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fix gem deprecation warnings, which also means depending on RubyGems 0.9.0+ [Chad Fowler]
-
-* Plugins may be symlinked in vendor/plugins.  #4245 [brandon, progrium@gmail.com]
-
-* Resource generator depends on the model generator rather than duplicating it.  #7269 [bscofield]
-
-* Add/Update usage documentation for script/destroy, resource generator and scaffold_resource generator.  Closes #7092, #7271, #7267.  [bscofield]
-

-
-* Update to Prototype 1.5.0. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Generator: use destination path for diff tempfiles.  #7015 [alfeld]
-
-* Fixed that webrick would strip leading newlines and hang connection #4156 [psross]
-
-* Ensure plugins are in the Dependencies.load_once_paths collection by default.  [Rick Olson]
-  If you really want your plugins to reload, add this to the very top of init.rb:
-
-    Dependencies.load_once_paths.delete(lib_path)
-
-* Allow config.to_prepare to work, make the dispatcher safe to 're require'. [Michael Koziarski, Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fix scaffold_resource generator so it respects the --pretend argument when creating the routes file.  Closes #6852 [fearoffish]
-
-* Fix Webrick Daemon dispatching bug regarding a bad current working directory.  Closes #4899 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Make config.plugins affect the load path and the dependencies system.  Allows you to control plugin loading order, and keep disabled plugins off the load path. [James Adam]
-
-* Don't generate a components directory in new Rails apps.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Fixed script/process/spawner to work properly with Mongrel including in -r (daemonize mode) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added one-letter aliases for the three default environments to script/console, so script/console p will load the production environment (t for test, d for development) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed that script/server running against Mongrel should tail the proper log regardless of the environment [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Update initializer to load Rails::VERSION as soon as possible. Closes #6698. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added ActiveRecord::Base.clear_active_connections! in development mode so the database connection is not carried over from request to request. Some databases won't reread the schema if that doesn't happen (I'm looking at you SQLite), so you have to restart the server after each migration (= no fun) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Made RAILS_GEM_VERSION work for beta gems too, so specifying 1.1.6 will give you 1.1.6.4520 if available [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Update to Prototype and script.aculo.us [5579]. [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Made script/server work with -e and -d when using Mongrel [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc2 [5550] which makes it work in Opera again [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Make sure that exceptions which are thrown outside of the user code try their best to be handeled in ApplicationController#rescue_action [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Rails::VERSION::STRING should always be available without having to require 'rails/version'.  #6244 [fearoffish]
-
-* Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc2. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Add grep-based fallback to reaper, to work in pidless setups [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Only wrap request processing with our USR1 signal handler so FastCGI can trap it and raise an exception while waiting for connections. Idle processes exit immediately rather than waiting for another request; active processes gracefully exit when the request is finished.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Alter prior change to use require_dependency instead of require_or_load. Causes ApplicationController to be reloaded again. Closes #6587. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Rake: use absolute paths to load lib and vendor tasks so they may be run outside of RAILS_ROOT.  #6584 [jchris]
-
-* Remove temporary crutch to help ApplicationController be unloaded. Closes #6496. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* scaffold_resource generator uses _path named routes and head instead of render :nothing => true.  #6545 [Josh Susser]
-
-* Generator can show diff on file collision to help you decide whether to skip or overwrite.  #6364 [jeffw, Jeremy Kemper]
-

-
-* Added option to script/process/spawner of specifying the binding address #5133 [Dee Zsombor]
-
-* Update environment.rb comments to include config.autoload_paths. Closes #6478 [caio]
-
-* Update scaffold to use new form_tag block functionality.  Closes #6480. [Bob Silva]
-
-* Plugin generator: check for class collisions.  #4833 [vinbarnes@gmail.com]
-
-* Mailer generator: handle mailers in modules, set mime_version in unit test.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Set $KCODE to 'u' by default to enable the multibyte safe String#chars proxy. [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Added config.plugins to control which plugins are loaded #6269 [Stefan Kaes]. By default, everything in vendor/plugins will be loaded, but if you specify config.plugins, only those will be loaded. Example:
-
-    config.plugins = %w[ routing_navigator simply_helpful ]
-
-* Clean up html on included error pages. [Tim Lucas]
-
-* Fixed default 404.html and 500.htmls to remove extreme ugliness and include human language [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Update to latest Prototype and script.aculo.us trunk versions [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* PostgreSQL: db:test:purge closes open database connections first.  #6236 [alex]
-
-* Fixed test:uncommitted on Windows (backslash issue) #4999 [paul@paulbutcher.com]
-
-* Fixed migration creation to work with namespaced models, so script/generate model Gallery::Image will use create_table :gallery_images #6327 [Bob Silva]
-
-* Fixed rename_table on SQLite tables with indexes defined #5942 [brandon@opensoul.org]
-
-* Added default timeout setting of 5 seconds to SQLite3 database.yml configurations [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added generated attribute options to script/generate model, like the one found in scaffold_resource and resource [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    ./script/generate model post title:string created_on:date body:text published:boolean
-
-* Added script/generate resource which works just like scaffold_resource, but creates empty placeholders instead of predefined [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* script/runner can run files, pass on arguments, and be used as a shebang.  #6286 [Tuxie, dlpond]
-    #!/usr/bin/env /path/to/my/app/script/runner
-    # Example: just start using your models as if you are in script/console
-    Product.find(:all).each { |product| product.check_inventory }
-
-* Look for rake tasks in plugin subdirs.  #6259 [obrie]
-
-* Added map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' as a default route to config/routes.rb [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Updated prototype.js to 1.5.0_rc1 with latest fixes. [Rick Olson]
-

-
-* Fix script/console --sandbox for internal transactions changes.  #5738 [Chris McGrath, charles.gerungan@gmail.com]
-
-* Remove the uncanny default of adding all app/models/*/ directories to the load path. This change will break application which expect the current behavior. As
-documented in initializer.rb, the workaround is:
-
-  config.autoload_paths += Dir[RAILS_ROOT + '/app/models/*/']
-
-References #6031. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Update to script.aculo.us 1.6.3 [Thomas Fuchs]

-
-* Add Dependencies.load_once_paths. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Updated to script.aculo.us 1.6.2 [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Assign Routing.controller_paths; fix script/about and rails info controller. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Don't warn dispatcher of Reloadable deprecations. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Rearrange application resetting and preparation, fix bug with leaking subclasses hash in ActiveRecord::Base [Rick Olson]
-

-
-* Add Dispatcher.to_prepare and config.to_prepare to provide a pre-request hook. [Nicholas Seckar]

-
-* Ensure the logger is initialized. #5629 [mike@clarkware.com]
-
-* Added Mongrel-spawning capabilities to script/process/spawner. Mongrel will be the default choice if installed, otherwise FCGI is tried [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    spawner               # starts instances on 8000, 8001, and 8002 using Mongrel if available
-    spawner fcgi          # starts instances on 8000, 8001, and 8002 using FCGI
-    spawner mongrel -i 5  # starts instances on 8000, 8001, 8002, 8003, and 8004 using Mongrel
-    spawner -p 9100 -i 10 # starts 10 instances counting from 9100 to 9109 using Mongrel if available
-    spawner -p 9100 -r 5  # starts 3 instances counting from 9100 to 9102 and attempts start them every 5 seconds
-
-  Also note that script/process/reaper is Mongrel capable. So the combination of spawner and reaper is a built-in alternative to something like mongrel_cluster.
-

-
-* Update initializer to load Rails::VERSION as soon as possible. Closes #6698. [Nicholas Seckar]

-
-* Alter prior change to use require_dependency instead of require_or_load. Causes ApplicationController to be reloaded again. Closes #6587. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Rake: use absolute paths to load lib and vendor tasks so they may be run outside of RAILS_ROOT.  #6584 [jchris]
-
-* scaffold_resource generator uses _path named routes and head instead of render :nothing => true.  #6545 [Josh Susser]

-
-* Added config.plugins to control which plugins are loaded #6269 [Stefan Kaes]. By default, everything in vendor/plugins will be loaded, but if you specify config.plugins, only those will be loaded. Example:
-
-    config.plugins = %w[ routing_navigator simply_helpful ]
-
-* Clean up html on included error pages. [Tim Lucas]
-
-* Fixed default 404.html and 500.htmls to remove extreme ugliness and include human language [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Update to latest Prototype and script.aculo.us trunk versions [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* PostgreSQL: db:test:purge closes open database connections first.  #6236 [alex]
-
-* Fixed test:uncommitted on Windows (backslash issue) #4999 [paul@paulbutcher.com]
-

-    #!/usr/bin/env /path/to/my/app/script/runner
-    # Example: just start using your models as if you are in script/console

-
-* Fix script/console --sandbox for internal transactions changes.  #5738 [Chris McGrath, charles.gerungan@gmail.com]
-
-* Remove the uncanny default of adding all app/models/*/ directories to the load path. This change will break application which expect the current behavior. As

-
-  config.autoload_paths += Dir[RAILS_ROOT + '/app/models/*/']
-

-
-* Added Mongrel-spawning capabilities to script/process/spawner. Mongrel will be the default choice if installed, otherwise FCGI is tried [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
-
-    spawner               # starts instances on 8000, 8001, and 8002 using Mongrel if available
-    spawner fcgi          # starts instances on 8000, 8001, and 8002 using FCGI
-    spawner mongrel -i 5  # starts instances on 8000, 8001, 8002, 8003, and 8004 using Mongrel
-    spawner -p 9100 -i 10 # starts 10 instances counting from 9100 to 9109 using Mongrel if available
-    spawner -p 9100 -r 5  # starts 3 instances counting from 9100 to 9102 and attempts start them every 5 seconds
-
-  Also note that script/process/reaper is Mongrel capable. So the combination of spawner and reaper is a built-in alternative to something like mongrel_cluster.

-* Don't replace application.js in public/javascripts if it already exists [Cody Fauser]
-
-* Change test:uncommitted to delay execution of `svn status` by using internal Rake API's. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Use require_library_or_gem to load rake in commands/server.rb.  Closes #4205.  [rob.rasmussen@gmail.com]
-
-* Use the Rake API instead of shelling out to create the tmp directory in commands/server.rb. [Chad Fowler]
-
-* Added a backtrace to the evil WSOD (White Screen of Death).  Closes #4073. TODO: Clearer exceptions [Rick Olson]
-
-* Added tracking of database and framework versions in script/about #4088 [charles.gerungan@gmail.com/Rick Olson]
-
-* Added public/javascripts/application.js as a sample since it'll automatically be included in javascript_include_tag :defaults [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added socket cleanup for lighttpd, both before and after [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added automatic creation of tmp/ when running script/server [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added silence_stream that'll work on both STDERR or STDOUT or any other stream and deprecated silence_stderr in the process [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added reload! method to script/console to reload all models and others that include Reloadable without quitting the console #4056 [esad@esse.at]
-
-* Added that rake rails:freeze:edge will now just export all the contents of the frameworks instead of just lib, so stuff like rails:update:scripts, rails:update:javascripts, and script/server on lighttpd still just works #4047 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added fix for upload problems with lighttpd from Safari/IE to config/lighttpd.conf #3999 [Thijs van der Vossen]
-
-* Added test:uncommitted to test changes since last checkin to Subversion #4035 [technomancy@gmail.com]
-
-* Help script/about print the correct svn revision when in a non-English locale.  #4026 [babie7a0@ybb.ne.jp]
-
-* Add 'app' accessor to script/console as an instance of Integration::Session [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Generator::Base#usage takes an optional message argument which defaults to Generator::Base#usage_message. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Remove the extraneous AR::Base.threaded_connections setting from the webrick server. [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Add integration test support to app generation and testing [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added namespaces to all tasks, so for example load_fixtures is now db:fixtures:load. All the old task names are still valid, they just point to the new namespaced names. "rake -T" will only show the namespaced ones, though [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* CHANGED DEFAULT: ActiveRecord::Base.schema_format is now :ruby by default instead of :sql. This means that we'll assume you want to live in the world of db/schema.rb where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. If your schema contains un-dumpable elements, such as constraints or database-specific column types, you just got an invitation to either 1) patch the dumper to include foreign key support, 2) stop being db specific, or 3) just change the default in config/environment.rb to config.active_record.schema_format = :sql -- we even include an example for that on new Rails skeletons now. Brought to you by the federation of opinionated framework builders! [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added -r/--repeat option to script/process/spawner that offers the same loop protection as the spinner did. This deprecates the script/process/spinner, so it's no longer included in the default Rails skeleton, but still available for backwards compatibility #3461 [ror@andreas-s.net]
-
-* Added collision option to template generation in generators #3329 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:
-
-    m.template "stuff.config" , "config/stuff.config" , :collision => :skip
-    m.template "auto-stamping", "config/generator.log", :collision => :force
-
-* Added more information to script/plugin's doings to ease debugging #3755 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Changed the default configuration for lighttpd to use tmp/sockets instead of log/ for the FastCGI sockets [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added a default configuration of the FileStore for fragment caching if tmp/cache is available, which makes action/fragment caching ready to use out of the box with no additional configuration [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Changed the default session configuration to place sessions in tmp/sessions, if that directory is available, instead of /tmp (this essentially means a goodbye to 9/10 White Screen of Death errors and should have web hosting firms around the world cheering) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added tmp/sessions, tmp/cache, and tmp/sockets as default directories in the Rails skeleton [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added that script/generate model will now automatically create a migration file for the model created. This can be turned off by calling the generator with --skip-migration [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added -d/--database option to the rails command, so you can do "rails --database=sqlite2 myapp" to start a new application preconfigured to use SQLite2 as the database. Removed the configuration examples from SQLite and PostgreSQL from the default MySQL configuration [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Allow script/server -c /path/to/lighttpd.conf [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Remove hardcoded path to reaper script in script/server [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Update script.aculo.us to V1.5.3 [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Added SIGTRAP signal handler to RailsFCGIHandler that'll force the process into a breakpoint after the next request. This breakpoint can then be caught with script/breakpointer and give you access to the Ruby image inside that process. Useful for debugging memory leaks among other things [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Changed default lighttpd.conf to use CWD from lighttpd 1.4.10 that allows the same configuration to be used for both detach and not. Also ensured that auto-repeaping of FCGIs only happens when lighttpd is not detached. [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added Configuration#after_initialize for registering a block which gets called after the framework is fully initialized.  Useful for things like per-environment configuration of plugins. [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Added check for RAILS_FRAMEWORK_ROOT constant that allows the Rails framework to be found in a different place than vendor/rails. Should be set in boot.rb. [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed that static requests could unlock the mutex guarding dynamic requests in the WEBrick servlet #3433 [tom@craz8.com]

-
-* Add install.rb file to plugin generation which is loaded, if it exists, when you install a plugin. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Run initialize_logger in script/lighttpd to ensure the log file exists before tailing it. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Make load_fixtures include csv fixtures. #3053. [me@mdaines.com]
-
-* Fix freeze_gems so that the latest rails version is dumped by default. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* script/plugin: handle root paths and plugin names which contain spaces.  #2995 [justin@aspect.net]
-
-* Model generator: correct relative path to test_helper in unit test.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Make the db_schema_dump task honor the SCHEMA environment variable if present the way db_schema_import does. #2931. [Blair Zajac]
-
-* Have the lighttpd server script report the actual ip to which the server is bound. #2903. [Adam]
-
-* Add plugin library directories to the load path after the lib directory so that libraries in the lib directory get precedence. #2910. [James Adam]
-
-* Make help for the console command more explicit about how to specify the desired environment in which to run the console. #2911. [anonymous]
-
-* PostgreSQL: the purge_test_database Rake task shouldn't explicitly specify the template0 template when creating a fresh test database.  #2964 [Dreamer3]
-
-* Introducing the session_migration generator.  Creates an add_session_table migration.  Allows generator to specify migrations directory.  #2958, #2960 [Rick Olson]
-
-* script/console uses RAILS_ENV environment variable if present.  #2932 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>
-
-* Windows: eliminate the socket option in database.yml.  #2924 [Wayne Vucenic <waynev@gmail.com>]
-
-* Eliminate nil from newly generated logfiles.  #2927 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* Rename Version constant to VERSION. #2802 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Eliminate Subversion dependencies in scripts/plugin.  Correct install options.  Introduce --force option to reinstall a plugin.  Remove useless --long option for list.  Use --quiet to quiet the download output and --revision to update to a specific svn revision.  #2842 [Chad Fowler, Rick Olson]
-
-* SQLite: the clone_structure_to_test and purge_test_database Rake tasks should always use the test environment.  #2846 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Make sure that legacy db tasks also reference :database for SQLite #2830 [kazuhiko@fdiary.net]
-
-* Pass __FILE__ when evaluating plugins' init.rb.  #2817 [James Adam]
-
-* Better svn status matching for generators.  #2814 [François Beausoleil <francois.beausoleil@gmail.com>, Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
-
-* Don't reload routes until plugins have been loaded so they have a chance to extend the routing capabilities [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Don't detach or fork for script/server tailing [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Changed all script/* to use #!/usr/bin/env ruby instead of hard-coded Ruby path. public/dispatcher.* still uses the hard-coded path  for compatibility with web servers that don't have Ruby in path [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Force RAILS_ENV to be "test" when running tests, so that ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "production" in config/environment.rb doesn't wreck havok [David Heinemeier Hansson] #2660
-
-* Correct versioning in :freeze_gems Rake task.  #2778 [Jakob Skjerning, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added an omnipresent RailsInfoController with a properties action that delivers an HTML rendering of Rails::Info (but only when local_request? is true). Added a new default index.html which fetches this with Ajax. [Sam Stephenson]
-
-
-*0.14.3 (RC4)* (November 7th, 2005)
-
-* Add 'add_new_scripts' rake task for adding new rails scripts to script/* [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Remove bogus hyphen from script/process/reaper calls to 'ps'.  #2767 [anonymous]
-
-* Copy lighttpd.conf when it is first needed, instead of on app creation [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Use require_library_or_gem 'fcgi' in script/server [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Added default lighttpd config in config/lighttpd.conf and added a default runner for lighttpd in script/server (works like script/server, but using lighttpd and FastCGI). It will use lighttpd if available, otherwise WEBrick. You can force either or using 'script/server lighttpd' or 'script/server webrick' [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* New configuration option config.plugin_paths which may be a single path like the default 'vendor/plugins' or an array of paths: ['vendor/plugins', 'lib/plugins'].  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Plugins are discovered in nested paths, so you can organize your plugins directory as you like.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Refactor load_plugin from load_plugins.  #2757 [alex.r.moon@gmail.com]
-
-* Make use of silence_stderr in script/lighttpd, script/plugin, and Rails::Info [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Enable HTTP installation of plugins when svn isn't avaialable. Closes #2661. [Chad Fowler]
-
-* Added script/about to display formatted Rails::Info output [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Added Rails::Info to catalog assorted information about a Rails application's environment [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Tail the logfile when running script/server lighttpd in the foreground [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Try to guess the port number from config/lighttpd.conf in script/server lighttpd [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Don't reap spawn-fcgi.  #2727 [matthew@walker.wattle.id.au]
-
-* Reaper knows how to find processes even if the dispatch path is very long.  #2711 [matthew@walker.wattle.id.au]
-
-* Make fcgi handler respond to TERM signals with an explicit exit [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added demonstration of fixture use to the test case generated by the model generator [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* If specified, pass PostgreSQL client character encoding to createdb.  #2703 [Kazuhiko <kazuhiko@fdiary.net>]
-
-* Catch CGI multipart parse errors.  Wrap dispatcher internals in a failsafe response handler.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* The freeze_gems Rake task accepts the VERSION environment variable to decide which version of Rails to pull into vendor/rails.  [Chad Fowler, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Removed script.aculo.us.js, builder.js and slider.js (preperation for move of scriptaculous extensions to plugins, core scriptaculous will remain in Railties) [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* The freeze_edge Rake task does smarter svn detection and can export a specific revision by passing the REVISION environment variable.  For example: rake freeze_edge REVISION=1234.  #2663 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Comment database.yml and include PostgreSQL and SQLite examples.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Improve script/plugin on Windows.  #2646 [Chad Fowler]
-
-* The *_plugindoc Rake tasks look deeper into the plugins' lib directories.  #2652 [bellis@deepthought.org]
-
-* The PostgreSQL :db_structure_dump Rake task limits its dump to the schema search path in database.yml.  [Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com>]
-
-* Add task to generate rdoc for all installed plugins. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Update script.aculo.us to V1.5_rc4 [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Add default Mac + DarwinPorts MySQL socket locations to the app generator.  [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Migrations may be destroyed: script/destroy migration foo.  #2635 [Charles M. Gerungan <charles.gerungan@gmail.com>, Jamis Buck, Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added that plugins can carry generators and that generator stub files can be created along with new plugins using script/generate plugin <name> --with-generator [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Removed app/apis as a default empty dir since its automatically created when using script/generate web_service [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added script/plugin to manage plugins (install, remove, list, etc) [Ryan Tomayko]
-
-* Added test_plugins task: Run the plugin tests in vendor/plugins/**/test (or specify with PLUGIN=name) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Added plugin generator to create a stub structure for a new plugin in vendor/plugins (see "script/generate plugin" for help) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
-
-* Fixed scaffold generator when started with only 1 parameter #2609 [self@mattmower.com]
-
-* rake should run functional tests even if the unit tests have failures [Jim Weirich]
-
-* Back off cleanpath to be symlink friendly. Closes #2533 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Load rake task files in alphabetical order so you can build dependencies and count on them #2554 [Blair Zajac]
-
-
-*0.14.2 (RC3)* (October 26th, 2005)
-
-* Constants set in the development/test/production environment file are set in Object
-
-* Scaffold generator pays attention to the controller name.  #2562 [self@mattmower.com]
-
-* Include tasks from vendor/plugins/*/tasks in the Rakefile #2545 [Rick Olson]
-
-

-
-* Moved generator folder from RAILS_ROOT/generators to RAILS_ROOT/lib/generators [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Fix rake dev and related commands [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* The rails command tries to deduce your MySQL socket by running `mysql_config
---socket`.  If it fails, default to /path/to/your/mysql.sock
-
-* Made the rails command use the application name for database names in the tailored database.yml file. Example: "rails ~/projects/blog" will use "blog_development" instead of "rails_development". [Florian Weber]
-
-* Added Rails framework freezing tasks: freeze_gems (freeze to current gems), freeze_edge (freeze to Rails SVN trunk), unfreeze_rails (float with newest gems on system)
-
-* Added update_javascripts task which will fetch all the latest js files from your current rails install. Use after updating rails. [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added cleaning of RAILS_ROOT to useless elements such as '../non-dot-dot/'. Provides cleaner backtraces and error messages. [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Made the instantiated/transactional fixtures settings be controlled through Rails::Initializer. Transactional and non-instantiated fixtures are default from now on. [Florian Weber]
-
-* Support using different database adapters for development and test with ActiveRecord::Base.schema_format = :ruby [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Make webrick work with session(:off)
-
-* Add --version, -v option to the Rails command. Closes #1840. [stancell]
-
-* Update Prototype to V1.4.0_pre11, script.aculo.us to V1.5_rc3 [2504] and fix the rails generator to include the new .js files [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Make the generator skip a file if it already exists and is identical to the new file.
-
-* Add experimental plugin support #2335
-
-* Made Rakefile aware of new .js files in script.aculo.us [Thomas Fuchs]
-
-* Make table_name and controller_name in generators honor AR::Base.pluralize_table_names. #1216 #2213 [kazuhiko@fdiary.net]
-
-* Clearly label functional and unit tests in rake stats output.  #2297 [lasse.koskela@gmail.com]
-
-* Make the migration generator only check files ending in *.rb when calculating the next file name #2317 [Chad Fowler]
-
-* Added prevention of duplicate migrations from the generator #2240 [François Beausoleil]
-
-* Add db_schema_dump and db_schema_import rake tasks to work with the new ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper (for dumping a schema to and reading a schema from a ruby file).
-
-* Reformed all the config/environments/* files to conform to the new Rails::Configuration approach. Fully backwards compatible.
-
-* Added create_sessions_table, drop_sessions_table, and purge_sessions_table as rake tasks for databases that supports migrations (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) to get a table for use with CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore
-
-* Added dump of schema version to the db_structure_dump task for databases that support migrations #1835 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed script/profiler for Ruby 1.8.2 #1863 [Rick Olson]
-
-* Fixed clone_structure_to_test task for SQLite #1864 [jon@burningbush.us]
-
-* Added -m/--mime-types option to the WEBrick server, so you can specify a Apache-style mime.types file to load #2059 [ask@develooper.com]
-
-* Added -c/--svn option to the generator that'll add new files and remove destroyed files using svn add/revert/remove as appropriate #2064 [Kevin Clark]
-
-* Added -c/--charset option to WEBrick server, so you can specify a default charset (which without changes is UTF-8) #2084 [wejn@box.cz]
-
-* Make the default stats task extendable by modifying the STATS_DIRECTORIES constant
-
-* Allow the selected environment to define RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER, and have Rails::Initializer use it if it exists.
-
-* Moved all the shared tasks from Rakefile into Rails, so that the Rakefile is empty and doesn't require updating.
-
-* Added Rails::Initializer and Rails::Configuration to abstract all of the common setup out of config/environment.rb (uses config/boot.rb to bootstrap the initializer and paths)
-
-* Fixed the scaffold generator to fail right away if the database isn't accessible instead of in mid-air #1169 [Chad Fowler]
-
-* Corrected project-local generator location in scripts.rb #2010 [Michael Schuerig]
-
-* Don't require the environment just to clear the logs #2093 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Make the default rakefile read *.rake files from config/tasks (for easy extension of the rakefile by e.g. generators)
-
-* Only load breakpoint in development mode and when BREAKPOINT_SERVER_PORT is defined.
-
-* Allow the --toggle-spin switch on process/reaper to be negated
-
-* Replace render_partial with render :partial in scaffold generator [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added -w flag to ps in process/reaper #1934 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Allow ERb in the database.yml file (just like with fixtures), so you can pull out the database configuration in environment variables #1822 [Duane Johnson]
-
-* Added convenience controls for FCGI processes (especially when managed remotely): spinner, spawner, and reaper. They reside in script/process. More details can be had by calling them with -h/--help.
-
-* Added load_fixtures task to the Rakefile, which will load all the fixtures into the database for the current environment #1791 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Added an empty robots.txt to public/, so that web servers asking for it won't trigger a dynamic call, like favicon.ico #1738 [Michael Schubert]
-
-* Dropped the 'immediate close-down' of FCGI processes since it didn't work consistently and produced bad responses when it didn't. So now a TERM ensures exit after the next request (just as if the process is handling a request when it receives the signal). This means that you'll have to 'nudge' all FCGI processes with a request in order to ensure that they have all reloaded. This can be done by something like ./script/process/repear --nudge 'http://www.myapp.com' --instances 10, which will load the myapp site 10 times (and thus hit all of the 10 FCGI processes once, enough to shut down).
-
-
-*0.13.1* (11 July, 2005)
-
-* Look for app-specific generators in RAILS_ROOT/generators rather than the clunky old RAILS_ROOT/script/generators.  Nobody really uses this feature except for the unit tests, so it's a negligible-impact change.  If you want to work with third-party generators, drop them in ~/.rails/generators or simply install gems.
-
-* Fixed that each request with the WEBrick adapter would open a new database connection #1685 [Sam Stephenson]
-
-* Added support for SQL Server in the database rake tasks #1652 [Ken Barker] Note: osql and scptxfr may need to be installed on your development environment. This involves getting the .exes and a .rll (scptxfr) from a production SQL Server (not developer level SQL Server). Add their location to your Environment PATH and you are all set.
-
-* Added a VERSION parameter to the migrate task that allows you to do "rake migrate VERSION=34" to migrate to the 34th version traveling up or down depending on the current version
-
-* Extend Ruby version check to include RUBY_RELEASE_DATE >= '2005-12-25', the final Ruby 1.8.2 release #1674 [court3nay]
-
-* Improved documentation for environment config files #1625 [court3nay]
-
-
-*0.13.0* (6 July, 2005)
-
-* Changed the default logging level in config/environment.rb to INFO for production (so SQL statements won't be logged)
-
-* Added migration generator: ./script/generate migration add_system_settings
-
-* Added "migrate" as rake task to execute all the pending migrations from db/migrate
-
-* Fixed that model generator would make fixtures plural, even if ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names was false #1185 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Added a DOCTYPE of HTML transitional to the HTML files generated by Rails #1124 [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* SIGTERM also gracefully exits dispatch.fcgi.  Ignore SIGUSR1 on Windows.
-
-* Add the option to manually manage garbage collection in the FastCGI dispatcher.  Set the number of requests between GC runs in your public/dispatch.fcgi [Stefan Kaes]
-
-* Allow dynamic application reloading for dispatch.fcgi processes by sending a SIGHUP. If the process is currently handling a request, the request will be allowed to complete first. This allows production fcgi's to be reloaded without having to restart them.
-
-* RailsFCGIHandler (dispatch.fcgi) no longer tries to explicitly flush $stdout (CgiProcess#out always calls flush)
-
-* Fixed rakefile actions against PostgreSQL when the password is all numeric #1462 [Michael Schubert]
-
-* ActionMailer::Base subclasses are reloaded with the other rails components #1262
-
-* Made the WEBrick adapter not use a mutex around action performance if ActionController::Base.allow_concurrency is true (default is false)
-
-* Fixed that mailer generator generated fixtures/plural while units expected fixtures/singular #1457 [Scott Barron]
-
-* Added a 'whiny nil' that's aim to ensure that when users pass nil to methods where that isn't appropriate, instead of NoMethodError? and the name of some method used by the framework users will see a message explaining what type of object was expected. Only active in test and development environments by default #1209 [Michael Koziarski]
-
-* Fixed the test_helper.rb to be safe for requiring controllers from multiple spots, like app/controllers/article_controller.rb and app/controllers/admin/article_controller.rb, without reloading the environment twice #1390 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Fixed Webrick to escape + characters in URL's the same way that lighttpd and apache do #1397 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added -e/--environment option to script/runner #1408 [François Beausoleil]
-
-* Modernize the scaffold generator to use the simplified render and test methods and to change style from @params["id"] to params[:id].  #1367
-
-* Added graceful exit from pressing CTRL-C during the run of the rails command #1150 [Caleb Tennis]
-
-* Allow graceful exits for dispatch.fcgi processes by sending a SIGUSR1. If the process is currently handling a request, the request will be allowed to complete and then will terminate itself. If a request is not being handled, the process is terminated immediately (via #exit). This basically works like restart graceful on Apache. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Made dispatch.fcgi more robust by catching fluke errors and retrying unless its a permanent condition. [Jamis Buck]
-
-* Added console --profile for profiling an IRB session #1154 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Changed console_sandbox into console --sandbox #1154 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-
-*0.12.1* (20th April, 2005)
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 1.10.1, Action Pack 1.8.1, Action Mailer 0.9.1, Action Web Service 0.7.1
-
-
-*0.12.0* (19th April, 2005)
-
-* Fixed that purge_test_database would use database settings from the development environment when recreating the test database #1122 [rails@cogentdude.com]
-
-* Added script/benchmarker to easily benchmark one or more statement a number of times from within the environment. Examples:
-
-    # runs the one statement 10 times
-    script/benchmarker 10 'Person.expensive_method(10)'
-
-    # pits the two statements against each other with 50 runs each
-    script/benchmarker 50 'Person.expensive_method(10)' 'Person.cheap_method(10)'
-
-* Added script/profiler to easily profile a single statement from within the environment. Examples:
-
-    script/profiler 'Person.expensive_method(10)'
-    script/profiler 'Person.expensive_method(10)' 10 # runs the statement 10 times
-
-* Added Rake target clear_logs that'll truncate all the *.log files in log/ to zero #1079 [Lucas Carlson]
-
-* Added lazy typing for generate, such that ./script/generate cn == ./script/generate controller and the likes #1051 [k@v2studio.com]
-
-* Fixed that ownership is brought over in pg_dump during tests for PostgreSQL #1060 [pburleson]
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 1.10.0, Action Pack 1.8.0, Action Mailer 0.9.0, Action Web Service 0.7.0, Active Support 1.0.4
-
-
-*0.11.1* (27th March, 2005)
-
-* Fixed the dispatch.fcgi use of a logger
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 1.9.1, Action Pack 1.7.0, Action Mailer 0.8.1, Action Web Service 0.6.2, Active Support 1.0.3
-
-
-*0.11.0* (22th March, 2005)
-
-* Removed SCRIPT_NAME from the WEBrick environment to prevent conflicts with PATH_INFO #896 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Removed ?$1 from the dispatch.f/cgi redirect line to get rid of 'complete/path/from/request.html' => nil being in the @params now that the ENV["REQUEST_URI"] is used to determine the path #895 [dblack/Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Added additional error handling to the FastCGI dispatcher to catch even errors taking down the entire process
-
-* Improved the generated scaffold code a lot to take advantage of recent Rails developments #882 [Tobias Lütke]
-

-
-* Changed .htaccess to allow dispatch.* to be called from a sub-directory as part of the push with Action Pack to make Rails work on non-vhost setups #826 [Nicholas Seckar/Tobias Lütke]
-

-
-    ./script/runner 'ReminderService.deliver'
-    ./script/runner 'Mailer.receive(STDIN.read)'
-
-  This makes it easier to do CRON and postfix scripts without actually making a script just to trigger 1 line of code.
-
-* Fixed webrick_server cookie handling to allow multiple cookes to be set at once #800, #813 [dave@cherryville.org]
-
-* Fixed the Rakefile's interaction with postgresql to:
-
-    1. Use PGPASSWORD and PGHOST in the environment to fix prompting for
-       passwords when connecting to a remote db and local socket connections.
-    2. Add a '-x' flag to pg_dump which stops it dumping privileges #807 [rasputnik]
-    3. Quote the user name and use template0 when dumping so the functions doesn't get dumped too #855 [pburleson]
-    4. Use the port if available #875 [madrobby]
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 1.9.0, Action Pack 1.6.0, Action Mailer 0.8.0, Action Web Service 0.6.1, Active Support 1.0.2

-
-* Fixed rake stats to ignore editor backup files like model.rb~ #791 [Sebastian Kanthak]
-
-* Added exception shallowing if the DRb server can't be started (not worth making a fuss about to distract new users) #779 [Tobias Lütke]

-
-* Fixed rails_generator to be usable without RubyGems #686 [Cristi BALAN]
-
-* Fixed -h/--help for generate and destroy generators #331
-
-* Added begin/rescue around the FCGI dispatcher so no uncaught exceptions can bubble up to kill the process (logs to log/fastcgi.crash.log)
-
-* Fixed that association#count would produce invalid sql when called sequentialy #659 [kanis@comcard.de]
-
-* Fixed test/mocks/testing to the correct test/mocks/test #740
-
-* Added early failure if the Ruby version isn't 1.8.2 or above #735
-
-* Removed the obsolete -i/--index option from the WEBrick servlet #743
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 1.8.0, Action Pack 1.5.1, Action Mailer 0.7.1, Action Web Service 0.6.0, Active Support 1.0.1
-
-
-*0.10.0* (24th February, 2005)
-
-* Changed default IP binding for WEBrick from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 so that the server is accessible both locally and remotely #696 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed that script/server -d was broken so daemon mode couldn't be used #687 [Nicholas Seckar]
-
-* Upgraded to breakpoint 92 which fixes:
-
-    * overload IRB.parse_opts(), fixes #443
-      => breakpoints in tests work even when running them via rake
-    * untaint handlers, might fix an issue discussed on the Rails ML
-    * added verbose mode to breakpoint_client
-    * less noise caused by breakpoint_client by default
-    * ignored TerminateLineInput exception in signal handler
-      => quiet exit on Ctrl-C
-
-* Added support for independent components residing in /components. Example:
-
-    Controller: components/list/items_controller.rb
-    (holds a List::ItemsController class with uses_component_template_root called)
-
-    Model     : components/list/item.rb
-    (namespace is still shared, so an Item model in app/models will take precedence)
-
-    Views     : components/list/items/show.rhtml
-
-
-* Added --sandbox option to script/console that'll roll back all changes made to the database when you quit #672 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added 'recent' as a rake target that'll run tests for files that changed in the last 10 minutes #612 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Changed script/console to default to development environment and drop --no-inspect #650 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added that the 'fixture :posts' syntax can be used for has_and_belongs_to_many fixtures where a model doesn't exist #572 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added that running test_units and test_functional now performs the clone_structure_to_test as well #566 [rasputnik]
-
-* Added new generator framework that informs about its doings on generation and enables updating and destruction of generated artifacts. See the new script/destroy and script/update for more details #487 [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added Action Web Service as a new add-on framework for Action Pack [Leon Bredt]
-
-* Added Active Support as an independent utility and standard library extension bundle
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 1.7.0, Action Pack 1.5.0, Action Mailer 0.7.0
-
-
-*0.9.5* (January 25th, 2005)
-
-* Fixed dependency reloading by switching to a remove_const approach where all Active Records, Active Record Observers, and Action Controllers are reloading by undefining their classes. This enables you to remove methods in all three types and see the change reflected immediately and it fixes #539. This also means that only those three types of classes will benefit from the const_missing and reloading approach. If you want other classes (like some in lib/) to reload, you must use require_dependency to do it.
-
-* Added Florian Gross' latest version of Breakpointer and friends that fixes a variaty of bugs #441 [Florian Gross]
-
-* Fixed skeleton Rakefile to work with sqlite3 out of the box #521 [rasputnik]
-
-* Fixed that script/breakpointer didn't get the Ruby path rewritten as the other scripts #523 [brandt@kurowski.net]
-
-* Fixed handling of syntax errors in models that had already been succesfully required once in the current interpreter
-
-* Fixed that models that weren't referenced in associations weren't being reloaded in the development mode by reinstating the reload
-
-* Fixed that generate scaffold would produce bad functional tests
-
-* Fixed that FCGI can also display SyntaxErrors
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 1.6.0, Action Pack 1.4.0
-
-
-*0.9.4.1* (January 18th, 2005)

-
-
-*0.9.4* (January 17th, 2005)
-
-* Added that ApplicationController will catch a ControllerNotFound exception if someone attempts to access a url pointing to an unexisting controller [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Flipped code-to-test ratio around to be more readable #468 [Scott Baron]
-
-* Fixed log file permissions to be 666 instead of 777 (so they're not executable) #471 [Lucas Carlson]
-
-* Fixed that auto reloading would some times not work or would reload the models twice #475 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Added rewrite rules to deal with caching to public/.htaccess
-
-* Added the option to specify a controller name to "generate scaffold" and made the default controller name the plural form of the model.
-
-* Added that rake clone_structure_to_test, db_structure_dump, and purge_test_database tasks now pick up the source database to use from
-  RAILS_ENV instead of just forcing development #424 [Tobias Lütke]
-
-* Fixed script/console to work with Windows (that requires the use of irb.bat) #418 [Chris McGrath]
-
-* Fixed WEBrick servlet slowdown over time by restricting the load path reloading to mod_ruby
-
-* Removed Fancy Indexing as a default option on the WEBrick servlet as it made it harder to use various caching schemes
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 1.5, Action Pack 1.3, Action Mailer 0.6
-
-
-*0.9.3* (January 4th, 2005)
-
-* Added support for SQLite in the auto-dumping/importing of schemas for development -> test #416
-
-* Added automated rewriting of the shebang lines on installs through the gem rails command #379 [Manfred Stienstra]
-
-* Added ActionMailer::Base.deliver_method = :test to the test environment so that mail objects are available in ActionMailer::Base.deliveries
-  for functional testing.
-
-* Added protection for creating a model through the generators with a name of an existing class, like Thread or Date.
-  It'll even offer you a synonym using wordnet.princeton.edu as a look-up. No, I'm not kidding :) [Florian Gross]
-
-* Fixed dependency management to happen in a unified fashion for Active Record and Action Pack using the new Dependencies module. This means that
-  the environment options needs to change from:
-
-    Before in development.rb:
-      ActionController::Base.reload_dependencies = true  
-      ActiveRecord::Base.reload_associations     = true
-
-    Now in development.rb:
-      Dependencies.mechanism = :load
-
-    Before in production.rb and test.rb:
-      ActionController::Base.reload_dependencies = false
-      ActiveRecord::Base.reload_associations     = false
-
-    Now in production.rb and test.rb:
-      Dependencies.mechanism = :require
-
-* Fixed problems with dependency caching and controller hierarchies on Ruby 1.8.2 in development mode #351
-
-* Fixed that generated action_mailers doesnt need to require the action_mailer since thats already done in the environment #382 [Lucas Carlson]
-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 1.2.0 and Active Record 1.4.0
-
-
-*0.9.2*
-
-* Fixed CTRL-C exists from the Breakpointer to be a clean affair without error dumping [Kent Sibilev]
-
-* Fixed "rake stats" to work with sub-directories in models and controllers and to report the code to test ration [Scott Baron]
-
-* Added that Active Record associations are now reloaded instead of cleared to work with the new const_missing hook in Active Record.
-
-* Added graceful handling of an inaccessible log file by redirecting output to STDERR with a warning #330 [rainmkr]
-
-* Added support for a -h/--help parameter in the generator #331 [Ulysses]
-
-* Fixed that File.expand_path in config/environment.rb would fail when dealing with symlinked public directories [mjobin]
-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 1.1.0 and Active Record 1.3.0
-
-
-*0.9.1*
-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 1.0.1 for important bug fix
-
-* Updated gem dependencies
-
-
-*0.9.0*
-
-* Renamed public/dispatch.servlet to script/server -- it wasn't really dispatching anyway as its delegating calls to public/dispatch.rb
-
-* Renamed AbstractApplicationController and abstract_application.rb to ApplicationController and application.rb, so that it will be possible
-  for the framework to automatically pick up on app/views/layouts/application.rhtml and app/helpers/application.rb
-
-* Added script/console that makes it even easier to start an IRB session for interacting with the domain model. Run with no-args to
-  see help.
-
-* Added breakpoint support through the script/breakpointer client. This means that you can break out of execution at any point in
-  the code, investigate and change the model, AND then resume execution! Example:
-
-    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
-      def index
-        @posts = Post.find_all
-        breakpoint "Breaking out from the list"
-      end
-    end
-
-  So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you with a IRB prompt in the breakpointer window.
-  Here you can do things like:
-
-  Executing breakpoint "Breaking out from the list" at .../webrick_server.rb:16 in 'breakpoint'
-
-    >> @posts.inspect
-    => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8 @attributes={\"title\"=>nil, \"body\"=>nil, \"id\"=>\"1\"}>,
-         #<Post:0x14a6620 @attributes={\"title\"=>\"Rails you know!\", \"body\"=>\"Only ten..\", \"id\"=>\"2\"}>]"
-    >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a breakpoint"
-    => "hello from a breakpoint"
-
-  ...and even better is that you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
-
-    >> f = @posts.first
-    => #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
-    >> f.
-    Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
-
-  Finally, when you're ready to resume execution, you press CTRL-D
-
-* Changed environments to be configurable through an environment variable. By default, the environment is "development", but you
-  can change that and set your own by configuring the Apache vhost with a string like (mod_env must be available on the server):
-
-    SetEnv RAILS_ENV production
-
-  ...if you're using WEBrick, you can pick the environment to use with the command-line parameters -e/--environment, like this:
-
-    ruby public/dispatcher.servlet -e production
-
-* Added a new default environment called "development", which leaves the production environment to be tuned exclusively for that.
-
-* Added a start_server in the root of the Rails application to make it even easier to get started
-
-* Fixed public/.htaccess to use RewriteBase and share the same rewrite rules for all the dispatch methods
-
-* Fixed webrick_server to handle requests in a serialized manner (the Rails reloading infrastructure is not thread-safe)
-
-* Added support for controllers in directories. So you can have:
-
-    app/controllers/account_controller.rb        # URL: /account/
-    app/controllers/admin/account_controller.rb  # URL: /admin/account/
-
-  NOTE: You need to update your public/.htaccess with the new rules to pick it up
-
-* Added reloading for associations and dependencies under cached environments like FastCGI and mod_ruby. This makes it possible to use
-  those environments for development. This is turned on by default, but can be turned off with
-  ActiveRecord::Base.reload_associations = false and ActionController::Base.reload_dependencies = false in production environments.
-
-* Added support for sub-directories in app/models. So now you can have something like Basecamp with:
-
-    app/models/accounting
-    app/models/project
-    app/models/participants
-    app/models/settings
-
-  It's poor man's namespacing, but only for file-system organization. You still require files just like before.
-  Nothing changes inside the files themselves.
-
-
-* Fixed a few references in the tests generated by new_mailer [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added support for mocks in testing with test/mocks
-
-* Cleaned up the environments a bit and added global constant RAILS_ROOT
-
-
-*0.8.5* (9)
-
-* Made dev-util available to all tests, so you can insert breakpoints in any test case to get an IRB prompt at that point [Jeremy Kemper]:
-
-    def test_complex_stuff
-      @david.projects << @new_project
-      breakpoint "Let's have a closer look at @david"
-    end
-
-  You need to install dev-utils yourself for this to work ("gem install dev-util").
-
-* Added shared generator behavior so future upgrades should be possible without manually copying over files [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added the new helper style to both controller and helper templates [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added new_crud generator for creating a model and controller at the same time with explicit scaffolding [Jeremy Kemper]
-
-* Added configuration of Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path to test_helper to concide with the new AR fixtures style
-
-* Fixed that new_model was generating singular table/fixture names
-
-* Upgraded to Action Mailer 0.4.0
-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 0.9.5
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 1.1.0
-
-
-*0.8.0 (15)*
-
-* Removed custom_table_name option for new_model now that the Inflector is as powerful as it is
-
-* Changed the default rake action to just do testing and separate API generation and coding statistics into a "doc" task.
-
-* Fixed WEBrick dispatcher to handle missing slashes in the URLs gracefully [alexey]
-
-* Added user option for all postgresql tool calls in the rakefile [elvstone]
-
-* Fixed problem with running "ruby public/dispatch.servlet" instead of "cd public; ruby dispatch.servlet" [alexey]
-
-* Fixed WEBrick server so that it no longer hardcodes the ruby interpreter used to "ruby" but will get the one used based
-  on the Ruby runtime configuration. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
-
-* Fixed Dispatcher so it'll route requests to magic_beans to MagicBeansController/magic_beans_controller.rb [Caio Chassot]
-
-* "new_controller MagicBeans" and "new_model SubscriptionPayments" will now both behave properly as they use the new Inflector.
-
-* Fixed problem with MySQL foreign key constraint checks in Rake :clone_production_structure_to_test target [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Changed WEBrick server to by default be auto-reloading, which is slower but makes source changes instant.
-  Class compilation cache can be turned on with "-c" or "--cache-classes".
-
-* Added "-b/--binding" option to WEBrick dispatcher to bind the server to a specific IP address (default: 127.0.0.1) [Kevin Temp]
-
-* dispatch.fcgi now DOESN'T set FCGI_PURE_RUBY as it was slowing things down for now reason [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Added new_mailer generator to work with Action Mailer
-
-* Included new framework: Action Mailer 0.3
-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 0.9.0
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 1.0.0
-
-
-*0.7.0*
-
-* Added an optional second argument to the new_model script that allows the programmer to specify the table name,
-  which will used to generate a custom table_name method in the model and will also be used in the creation of fixtures.
-  [Kevin Radloff]
-
-* script/new_model now turns AccountHolder into account_holder instead of accountholder [Kevin Radloff]
-
-* Fixed the faulty handleing of static files with WEBrick [Andreas Schwarz]
-
-* Unified function_test_helper and unit_test_helper into test_helper
-
-* Fixed bug with the automated production => test database dropping on PostgreSQL [dhawkins]
-
-* create_fixtures in both the functional and unit test helper now turns off the log during fixture generation
-  and can generate more than one fixture at a time. Which makes it possible for assignments like:
-
-    @people, @projects, @project_access, @companies, @accounts =
-      create_fixtures "people", "projects", "project_access", "companies", "accounts"
-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 0.8.5 (locally-scoped variables, partials, advanced send_file)
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.5 (better table_name guessing, cloning, find_all_in_collection)
-
-
-*0.6.5*
-
-* No longer specifies a template for rdoc, so it'll use whatever is default (you can change it in the rakefile)
-
-* The new_model generator will now use the same rules for plural wordings as Active Record
-  (so Category will give categories, not categorys) [Kevin Radloff]
-
-* dispatch.fcgi now sets FCGI_PURE_RUBY to true to ensure that it's the Ruby version that's loaded [danp]
-
-* Made the GEM work with Windows
-
-* Fixed bug where mod_ruby would "forget" the load paths added when switching between controllers
-
-* PostgreSQL are now supported for the automated production => test database dropping [Kevin Radloff]
-
-* Errors thrown by the dispatcher are now properly handled in FCGI.
-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 0.8.0 (lots and lots and lots of fixes)
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.4 (a bunch of fixes)
-
-
-*0.6.0*
-
-* Added AbstractionApplicationController as a superclass for all controllers generated. This class can be used
-  to carry filters and methods that are to be shared by all. It has an accompanying ApplicationHelper that all
-  controllers will also automatically have available.
-
-* Added environments that can be included from any script to get the full Active Record and Action Controller
-  context running. This can be used by maintenance scripts or to interact with the model through IRB. Example:
-
-    require 'config/environments/production'
-
-    for account in Account.find_all
-      account.recalculate_interests
-    end
-
-  A short migration script for an account model that had it's interest calculation strategy changed.
-
-* Accessing the index of a controller with "/weblog" will now redirect to "/weblog/" (only on Apache, not WEBrick)
-
-* Simplified the default Apache config so even remote requests are served off CGI as a default.
-  You'll now have to do something specific to activate mod_ruby and FCGI (like using the force urls).
-  This should make it easier for new comers that start on an external server.
-
-* Added more of the necessary Apache options to .htaccess to make it easier to setup
-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.9 (lots of fixes)
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.3 (lots of fixes)
-
-
-*0.5.7*
-
-* Fixed bug in the WEBrick dispatcher that prevented it from getting parameters from the URL
-  (through GET requests or otherwise)
-
-* Added lib in root as a place to store app specific libraries
-
-* Added lib and vendor to load_path, so anything store within can be loaded directly.
-  Hence lib/redcloth.rb can be loaded with require "redcloth"
-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.8 (lots of fixes)
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.2 (minor upgrade)
-
-
-*0.5.6*
-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.7 (multipart form fix)
-
-* Updated the generated template stubs to valid XHTML files
-
-* Ensure that controllers generated are capitalized, so "new_controller TodoLists"
-  gives the same as "new_controller Todolists" and "new_controller todolists".
-
-
-*0.5.5*
-
-* Works on Windows out of the box! (Dropped symlinks)
-
-* Added webrick dispatcher: Try "ruby public/dispatch.servlet --help" [Florian Gross]
-

-
-* Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.6
-
-* Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.1
-
-* Added distinct 500.html instead of reusing 404.html

+## Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased) ##
+
+*   Allow to set class that will be used to run as a console, other than IRB, with `Rails.application.config.console=`. It's best to add it to `console` block. *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+    Example:
+
+        # it can be added to config/application.rb
+        console do
+          # this block is called only when running console,
+          # so we can safely require pry here
+          require "pry"
+          config.console = Pry
+        end
+
+*   Add convenience `hide!` method to Rails generators to hide current generator
+    namespace from showing when running `rails generate`. *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+
+*   Scaffold now uses `content_tag_for` in index.html.erb *José Valim*
+
+*   Rails::Plugin has gone. Instead of adding plugins to vendor/plugins use gems or bundler with path or git dependencies. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+## Rails 3.2.0 (January 20, 2012) ##
+
+*   Turn gem has been removed from default Gemfile. We still looking for a best presentation for tests output. *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+*   Rails::Plugin is deprecated and will be removed in Rails 4.0. Instead of adding plugins to vendor/plugins use gems or bundler with path or git dependencies. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Guides are available as a single .mobi for the Kindle and free Kindle readers apps. *Michael Pearson & Xavier Noria*
+
+*   Allow scaffold/model/migration generators to accept a "index" and "uniq" modifiers, as in: "tracking_id:integer:uniq" in order to generate (unique) indexes. Some types also accept custom options, for instance, you can specify the precision and scale for decimals as "price:decimal{7,2}". *Dmitrii Samoilov*

+*   Added `config.exceptions_app` to set the exceptions application invoked by the ShowException middleware when an exception happens. Defaults to `ActionDispatch::PublicExceptions.new(Rails.public_path)`. *José Valim*
+
+*   Speed up development by only reloading classes if dependencies files changed. This can be turned off by setting `config.reload_classes_only_on_change` to false. *José Valim*
+
+*   New applications get a flag `config.active_record.auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds` in the environments configuration files. With a value of 0.5 in development.rb, and commented out in production.rb. No mention in test.rb. *fxn*
+
+*   Add DebugExceptions middleware which contains features extracted from ShowExceptions middleware *José Valim*
+
+*   Display mounted engine's routes in `rake routes` *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Allow to change the loading order of railties with `config.railties_order=` *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+    Example:
+        config.railties_order = [Blog::Engine, :main_app, :all]
+
+*   Scaffold returns 204 No Content for API requests without content. This makes scaffold work with jQuery out of the box *José Valim*
+
+*   Update Rails::Rack::Logger middleware to apply any tags set in config.log_tags to the newly ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging Rails.logger. This makes it easy to tag log lines with debug information like subdomain and request id -- both very helpful in debugging multi-user production applications *DHH*
+
+*   Default options to `rails new` can be set in ~/.railsrc. You can specify extra command-line arguments to be used every time
+    'rails new' runs in the .railsrc configuration file in your home directory. *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+*   Add destroy alias to Rails engines *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+*   Add destroy alias for Rails command line. This allows the following: `rails d model post` *Andrey Ognevsky*
+
+*   Attributes on scaffold and model generators default to string. This allows the following: "rails g scaffold Post title body:text author" *José Valim*
+
+*   Remove old plugin generator (`rails generate plugin`) in favor of `rails plugin new` command *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+*   Remove old 'config.paths.app.controller' API in favor of 'config.paths["app/controller"]' API *Guillermo Iguaran*
+
+
+## Rails 3.1.2 (November 18, 2011) ##
+
+*   Engines: don't blow up if db/seeds.rb is missing.
+
+    *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   `rails new foo --skip-test-unit` should not add the `:test` task to the rake default task.
+    *GH 2564*
+
+    *José Valim*
+
+## Rails 3.1.1 (October 07, 2011) ##
+
+*   Add jquery-rails to Gemfile of plugins, test/dummy app needs it. Closes #3091. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Add config.assets.initialize_on_precompile which, when set to false, forces
+    `rake assets:precompile` to load the application but does not initialize it.
+
+    To the app developer, this means configuration add in
+    config/initializers/* will not be executed.
+
+    Plugins developers need to special case their initializers that are
+    meant to be run in the assets group by adding :group => :assets.
+
+## Rails 3.1.0 (August 30, 2011) ##
+
+*   The default database schema file is written as UTF-8. *Aaron Patterson*
+
+*   Generated apps with --dev or --edge flags depend on git versions of
+    sass-rails and coffee-rails. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Rack::Sendfile middleware is used only if x_sendfile_header is present. *Santiago Pastorino*
+
+*   Add JavaScript Runtime name to the Rails Info properties. *DHH*
+
+*   Make pp enabled by default in Rails console. *Akira Matsuda*
+
+*   Add alias `r` for rails runner. *Jordi Romero*
+
+*   Make sprockets/railtie require explicit and add --skip-sprockets to app generator *José Valim*
+
+*   Added Rails.groups that automatically handles Rails.env and ENV["RAILS_GROUPS"] *José Valim*
+
+*   The new rake task assets:clean removes precompiled assets. *fxn*
+
+*   Application and plugin generation run bundle install unless --skip-gemfile or --skip-bundle. *fxn*
+
+*   Fixed database tasks for jdbc* adapters #jruby *Rashmi Yadav*
+
+*   Template generation for jdbcpostgresql  #jruby *Vishnu Atrai*
+
+*   Template generation for jdbcmysql and jdbcsqlite3 #jruby *Arun Agrawal*
+
+*   The -j option of the application generator accepts an arbitrary string. If passed "foo",
+    the gem "foo-rails" is added to the Gemfile, and the application JavaScript manifest
+    requires "foo" and "foo_ujs". As of this writing "prototype-rails" and "jquery-rails"
+    exist and provide those files via the asset pipeline. Default is "jquery". *fxn*
+
+*   jQuery is no longer vendored, it is provided from now on by the jquery-rails gem. *fxn*
+
+*   Prototype and Scriptaculous are no longer vendored, they are provided from now on
+    by the prototype-rails gem. *fxn*
+
+*   The scaffold controller will now produce SCSS file if Sass is available *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+*   The controller and resource generators will now automatically produce asset stubs (this can be turned off with --skip-assets). These stubs will use Coffee and Sass, if those libraries are available. *DHH*
+
+*   jQuery is the new default JavaScript library. *fxn*
+
+*   Changed scaffold, application, and mailer generator to create Ruby 1.9 style hash when running on Ruby 1.9 *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+    So instead of creating something like:
+
+        redirect_to users_path, :notice => "User has been created"
+
+    it will now be like this:
+
+        redirect_to users_path, notice: "User has been created"
+
+    You can also passing `--old-style-hash` to make Rails generate old style hash even you're on Ruby 1.9
+
+*   Changed scaffold_controller generator to create format block for JSON instead of XML *Prem Sichanugrist*
+
+*   Add using Turn with natural language test case names for test_help.rb when running with minitest (Ruby 1.9.2+) *DHH*
+
+*   Direct logging of Active Record to STDOUT so it's shown inline with the results in the console *DHH*
+
+*   Added `config.force_ssl` configuration which loads Rack::SSL middleware and force all requests to be under HTTPS protocol *DHH, Prem Sichanugrist, and Josh Peek*
+
+*   Added `rails plugin new` command which generates rails plugin with gemspec, tests and dummy application for testing *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Added -j parameter with jquery/prototype as options. Now you can create your apps with jQuery using `rails new myapp -j jquery`. The default is still Prototype. *siong1987*
+
+*   Added Rack::Etag and Rack::ConditionalGet to the default middleware stack *José Valim*
+
+*   Added Rack::Cache to the default middleware stack *Yehuda Katz and Carl Lerche*
+
+*   Engine is now rack application *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Added middleware stack to Engine *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Engine can now load plugins *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Engine can load its own environment file *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Added helpers to call engines' route helpers from application and vice versa *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Task for copying plugins' and engines' migrations to application's db/migrate directory *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Changed ActionDispatch::Static to allow handling multiple directories *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Added isolate_namespace() method to Engine, which sets Engine as isolated *Piotr Sarnacki*
+
+*   Include all helpers from plugins and shared engines in application *Piotr Sarnacki*
+

+
+## Rails 3.0.0 (August 29, 2010) ##
+
+*   Application generation: --skip-testunit and --skip-activerecord become --skip-test-unit and --skip-active-record respectively. *fxn*
+
+*   Added console to Rails::Railtie as a hook called just after console starts. *José Valim*
+
+*   Rails no longer autoload code in lib for application. You need to explicitly require it. *José Valim*
+
+*   Rails::LogSubscriber was renamed to ActiveSupport::LogSubscriber *José Valim*
+
+*   config.load_(once_)paths in config/application.rb got renamed to config.autoload_(once_)paths. *fxn*
+
+*   Abort generation/booting on Ruby 1.9.1. *fxn*
+
+*   Made the rails command work even when you're in a subdirectory *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Removed Rails Metal [Yehuda Katz, José Valim].
+
+*   Renamed config.cookie_secret to config.secret_token and pass it as env key. *José Valim*
+
+*   Session store configuration has changed *Yehuda Katz, Carl Lerche*
+
+        config.session_store :cookie_store, {:key => "..."}
+        config.cookie_secret = "fdsfhisdghfidugnfdlg"
+
+*   railtie_name and engine_name are deprecated. You can now add any object to
+    the configuration object: config.your_plugin = {} *José Valim*
+
+*   Added config.generators.templates to provide alternative paths for the generators
+    to look for templates *José Valim*
+
+*   Added "rake about" as a replacement for script/about *DHH*
+
+*   Removed all the default commands in script/* and replaced them with script/rails and a rails command that'll act the same when run from within the app [DHH]. Example:
+
+    ./script/generate scaffold post title:string  can now be called as  rails g scaffold post title:string
+
+    Run rails --help inside an app for more help.
+
+*   Removed config/initializers/new_rails_defaults.rb as all frameworks now follow the settings from it *DHH*
+
+*   Set config.time_zone to UTC by default *DHH*
+
+*   Added default .gitignore (this is just recognizing Git market share, don't throw a hissy if you use another SCM) *DHH*
+
+*   Added cookies.permanent, cookies.signed, and cookies.permanent.signed accessor for common cookie actions [DHH]. Examples:
+
+        cookies.permanent[:prefers_open_id] = true
+        # => Set-Cookie: prefers_open_id=true; path=/; expires=Sun, 16-Dec-2029 03:24:16 GMT
+
+        cookies.signed[:discount] = 45
+        # => Set-Cookie: discount=BAhpMg==--2c1c6906c90a3bc4fd54a51ffb41dffa4bf6b5f7; path=/
+
+        cookies.signed[:discount]
+        # => 45 (if the cookie was changed, you'll get a InvalidSignature exception)
+
+        cookies.permanent.signed[:remember_me] = current_user.id
+        # => Set-Cookie: discount=BAhU--848956038e692d7046deab32b7131856ab20e14e; path=/; expires=Sun, 16-Dec-2029 03:24:16 GMT
+
+    ...to use the signed cookies, you need to set a secret to ActionController::Base.cookie_verifier_secret (automatically done in config/initializers/cookie_verification_secret.rb for new Rails applications).
+
+*   Added config/initializers/cookie_verification_secret.rb with an auto-generated secret for using ActionController::Base#cookies.signed *DHH*
+
+*   Fixed that the debugger wouldn't go into IRB mode because of left-over ARGVs *DHH*
+
+*   I18n support for plugins.  #2325 *Antonio Tapiador, Sven Fuchs*
+
+*   Ruby 1.9: use UTF-8 for default internal and external encodings.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added db/seeds.rb as a default file for storing seed data for the database. Can be loaded with rake db:seed (or created alongside the db with db:setup). (This is also known as the "Stop Putting Gawd Damn Seed Data In Your Migrations" feature) *DHH*
+
+
+## 2.3.2 Final (March 15, 2009) ##
+
+*   Remove outdated script/plugin options *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Allow metal to live in plugins #2045 *Matthew Rudy*
+
+*   Added metal *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Remove script/performance/request in favour of the performance integration tests. *Pratik Naik*
+
+    To continue using script/performance/request, install the request_profiler plugin :
+
+        script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/request_profiler.git
+
+*   Add a rake task to apply a template to an existing application : rake rails:template LOCATION=~/template.rb *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Add "-m/--template" option to Rails generator to apply a template to the generated application. *Jeremy McAnally*
+
+        This has been extracted from rg - http://github.com/jeremymcanally/rg
+
+        Example:
+
+            # template.rb
+
+            # Install plugins from git or svn
+            plugin "will-paginate", :git => "git://github.com/mislav/will_paginate.git"
+            plugin "old-restful-auth", :svn => "http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/restful_authentication/"
+
+            # Add gems to environment.rb
+            gem "jeremymcanally-context"
+            gem "bluecloth"
+
+            # Vendor file. Data in a string or...
+            vendor("borrowed.rb", <<CODE
+              def helpful_method
+                do_something_helpful_here
+              end
+            CODE
+
+            # ...file data from block return value.
+            # #initializer creates a new initializer file
+            initializer("crypto.rb") do
+              salt = "--#{Time.now}--#{rand}--#{srand(Time.now.to_i)}"
+
+              "SPECIAL_SALT = '#{salt}'"
+            end
+
+        Usage:
+
+          To use a template, provide a file path or URL:
+
+          1. Using a local file :
+
+            rails <application name> -m /path/to/my/template.rb
+
+          2. Or directly from a URL :
+
+            rails <application name> --template=http://gist.github.com/31208.txt
+
+*   Extracted the process scripts (inspector, reaper, spawner) into the plugin irs_process_scripts *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Changed Rails.root to return a Pathname object (allows for Rails.root.join('app', 'controllers') => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers") #1482 *Damian Janowski/?*
+
+*   Added view path support for engines *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added that config/routes.rb files in engine plugins are automatically loaded (and reloaded when they change in dev mode) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added app/[models|controllers|helpers] to the load path for plugins that has an app directory (go engines ;)) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add config.preload_frameworks to load all frameworks at startup. Default to false so Rails autoloads itself as it's used. Turn this on for Passenger and JRuby. Also turned on by config.threadsafe!  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add a rake task to generate dispatchers : rake rails:generate_dispatchers *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   "rails <app>" will not generate public/dispatch.cgi/fcgi/rb files by default now. Please use "--with-dispatchers" option if you need them. *Yaroslav Markin, Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Added rake rails:update:application_controller to renamed application.rb to application_controller.rb -- included in rake rails:update so upgrading to 2.3 will automatically trigger it #1439 *kastner*
+
+*   Added Rails.backtrace_cleaner as an accessor for the Rails::BacktraceCleaner instance used by the framework to cut down on backtrace noise and config/initializers/backtrace_silencers.rb to add your own (or turn them all off) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Switch from Test::Unit::TestCase to ActiveSupport::TestCase.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added config.i18n settings gatherer to config/environment, auto-loading of all locales in config/locales/*.rb,yml, and config/locales/en.yml as a sample locale *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Renamed application.rb to application_controller.rb and removed all the special casing that was in place to support the former. You must do this rename in your own application when you upgrade to this version *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+
+## 2.2.1 RC2 (November 14th, 2008) ##
+
+*   Fixed plugin generator so that generated unit tests would subclass ActiveSupport::TestCase, also introduced a helper script to reduce the needed require statements #1137 *Mathias Meyer*
+
+*   Update Prototype to 1.6.0.3 *sam*
+
+
+## 2.2.0 RC1 (October 24th, 2008) ##

+
+*   Added config.threadsafe! to toggle allow concurrency settings and disable the dependency loader *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Turn cache_classes on by default *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Added configurable eager load paths. Defaults to app/models, app/controllers, and app/helpers *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Introduce simple internationalization support.  *Ruby i18n team*
+
+*   Make script/plugin install <plugin> -r <revision> option work with git based plugins. #257. [Tim Pope Jakub Kuźma]. Example:
+
+    script/plugin install git://github.com/mislav/will_paginate.git -r agnostic # Installs 'agnostic' branch
+    script/plugin install git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec.git -r 'tag 1.1.4'
+
+*   Added Rails.initialized? flag *Josh Peek*
+
+*   Make rake test:uncommitted work with Git. *Tim Pope*
+
+*   Added Thin support to script/server.  #488 *Bob Klosinski*
+
+*   Fix script/about in production mode.  #370 *Cheah Chu Yeow, Xavier Noria, David Krmpotic*
+
+*   Add the gem load paths before the framework is loaded, so certain gems like RedCloth and BlueCloth can be frozen.
+
+*   Fix discrepancies with loading rails/init.rb from gems.
+
+*   Plugins check for the gem init path (rails/init.rb) before the standard plugin init path (init.rb)  *Jacek Becela*
+
+*   Changed all generated tests to use the test/do declaration style *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Wrapped Rails.env in StringInquirer so you can do Rails.env.development? *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that RailsInfoController wasn't considering all requests local in development mode (Edgard Castro) *#310 state:resolved*
+
+
+## 2.1.0 (May 31st, 2008) ##
+
+*   script/dbconsole fires up the command-line database client.  #102 *Steve Purcell*
+
+*   Fix bug where plugin init.rb files from frozen gem specs weren't being run.  (pjb3) *#122 state:resolved*
+
+*   Made the location of the routes file configurable with config.routes_configuration_file (Scott Fleckenstein) *#88*
+
+*   Rails Edge info returns the latest git commit hash *Francesc Esplugas*
+
+*   Added Rails.public_path to control where HTML and assets are expected to be loaded from (defaults to Rails.root + "/public") #11581 *Nick Sieger*
+
+*   rake time:zones:local finds correct base utc offset for zones in the Southern Hemisphere *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Don't require rails/gem_builder during rails initialization, it's only needed for the gems:build task. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   script/performance/profiler compatibility with the ruby-prof >= 0.5.0. Closes #9176. *Jonathan del Strother*
+
+*   Flesh out rake gems:unpack to unpack all gems, and add rake gems:build for native extensions. #11513 *ddollar*
+
+    rake gems:unpack             # unpacks all gems
+    rake gems:unpack GEM=mygem   # unpacks only the gem 'mygem'
+
+    rake gems:build              # builds all unpacked gems
+    rake gems:build GEM=mygem    # builds only the gem 'mygem'
+
+*   Add config.active_support for future configuration options.  Also, add more new Rails 3 config settings to new_rails_defaults.rb *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Add Rails.logger, Rails.root, Rails.env and Rails.cache shortcuts for RAILS_* constants *Pratik Naik*
+
+*   Allow files in plugins to be reloaded like the rest of the application.  *Rick Olson*
+
+    Enables or disables plugin reloading.
+
+        config.reload_plugins = true
+
+    You can get around this setting per plugin.
+    If #reload_plugins? == false (DEFAULT), add this to your plugin's init.rb to make it reloadable:
+
+        Dependencies.load_once_paths.delete lib_path
+
+    If #reload_plugins? == true, add this to your plugin's init.rb to only load it once:
+
+        Dependencies.load_once_paths << lib_path
+
+*   Small tweak to allow plugins to specify gem dependencies.  *Rick Olson*
+
+    \# OLD open_id_authentication plugin init.rb
+    require 'yadis'
+    require 'openid'
+    ActionController::Base.send :include, OpenIdAuthentication
+
+    \# NEW
+    config.gem "ruby-openid", :lib => "openid", :version => "1.1.4"
+    config.gem "ruby-yadis",  :lib => "yadis",  :version => "0.3.4"
+
+    config.after_initialize do
+        ActionController::Base.send :include, OpenIdAuthentication
+    end
+
+*   Added config.gem for specifying which gems are required by the application, as well as rake tasks for installing and freezing gems. *Rick Olson*
+
+    Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
+        config.gem "bj"
+        config.gem "hpricot", :version => '0.6', :source => "http://code.whytheluckystiff.net"
+        config.gem "aws-s3", :lib => "aws/s3"
+    end
+
+    \# List required gems.
+    rake gems
+
+    \# Install all required gems:
+    rake gems:install
+
+    \# Unpack specified gem to vendor/gems/gem_name-x.x.x
+    rake gems:unpack GEM=bj
+
+*   Removed the default .htaccess configuration as there are so many good deployment options now (kept it as an example in README) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   config.time_zone accepts TZInfo::Timezone identifiers as well as Rails TimeZone identifiers *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Rails::Initializer#initialize_time_zone raises an error if value assigned to config.time_zone is not recognized. Rake time zone tasks only require ActiveSupport instead of entire environment *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Stop adding the antiquated test/mocks/* directories and only add them to the path if they're still there for legacy reasons *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added that gems can now be plugins if they include rails/init.rb #11444 *John Barnette*
+
+*   Added Plugin#about method to programmatically access the about.yml in a plugin #10979 *James Adam*
+
+        plugin = Rails::Plugin.new(path_to_my_plugin)
+        plugin.about["author"] # => "James Adam"
+        plugin.about["url"] # => "http://interblah.net"
+
+*   Improve documentation. *Ryan Bigg, Jan De Poorter, Cheah Chu Yeow, Xavier Shay, Jack Danger Canty, Emilio Tagua, Xavier Noria,  Sunny Ripert*
+
+*   Added config.time_zone = 'UTC' in the default environment.rb *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Added rake tasks time:zones:all, time:zones:us and time:zones:local for finding time zone names for config.time_zone option *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Add config.time_zone for configuring the default Time.zone value.  #10982 *Geoff Buesing*
+
+*   Added support for installing plugins hosted at git repositories #11294 *Jack Danger Canty*
+
+*   Fixed that script/generate would not look for plugin generators in plugin_paths #11000 *glv*
+
+*   Fixed database rake tasks to work with charset/collation and show proper error messages on failure. Closes #11301 *matt*
+
+*   Added a -e/--export to script/plugin install, uses svn export. #10847 *jon@blankpad.net)*
+
+*   Reshuffle load order so that routes and observers are initialized after plugins and app initializers.  Closes #10980 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Git support for script/generate.  #10690 *ssoroka*
+
+*   Update scaffold to use labels instead of bold tags.  Closes #10757 *zach-inglis-lt3*
+

+
+
+## 2.0.2 (December 16th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Changed the default database from mysql to sqlite3, so now running "rails myapp" will have a config/database.yml that's setup for SQLite3 (which in OS X Leopard is installed by default, so is the gem, so everything Just Works with no database configuration at all). To get a Rails application preconfigured for MySQL, just run "rails -d mysql myapp" *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Turned on ActionView::Base.cache_template_loading by default in config/environments/production.rb to prevent file system stat calls for every template loading to see if it changed (this means that you have to restart the application to see template changes in production mode) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Introduce `rake secret` to output a crytographically secure secret key for use with cookie sessions #10363 *revans*
+
+*   Fixed that local database creation should consider 127.0.0.1 local #9026 *parcelbrat*
+
+*   Fixed that functional tests generated for scaffolds should use fixture calls instead of hard-coded IDs #10435 *boone*
+
+*   Added db:migrate:redo and db:migrate:reset for rerunning existing migrations #10431, #10432  *matt*
+

+
+*   Generated fixtures should not specify ids since theyre expected to be foxy fixtures #10330 *John Barnette*
+
+*   Update to Prototype -r8232.  *sam*
+
+*   Introduce SecretKeyGenerator for more secure session secrets than CGI::Session's pseudo-random id generator. Consider extracting to Active Support later.  #10286 *Hongli Lai (Phusion)*
+
+*   RAILS_GEM_VERSION may be set to any valid gem version specifier.  #10057 *Chad Woolley, Cheah Chu Yeow*
+
+*   Load config/preinitializer.rb, if present, before loading the environment.  #9943 *Chad Woolley*
+
+*   FastCGI handler ignores unsupported signals like USR2 on Windows.  *Grzegorz Derebecki*
+
+*   Only load ActionMailer::TestCase if ActionMailer is loaded.  Closes #10137 *defunkt*
+
+*   Fixed that db:reset would use migrations instead of loading db/schema.rb *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Ensure the plugin loader only loads plugins once.  Closes #10102 *haruki_zaemon*
+
+*   Refactor Plugin Loader.  Add plugin lib paths early, and add lots of tests.  Closes #9795 *James Adam*
+
+*   Added --skip-timestamps to generators that produce models #10036 *Tim Pope*
+
+*   Update Prototype to 1.6.0 and script.aculo.us to 1.8.0.  *sam, madrobby*
+
+*   Added db:rollback to rollback the schema one version (or multiple as specified by STEP) *Jeffrey Allan Hardy*
+
+*   Fix typo in test_helper. Closes #9925 *viktor tron*
+
+*   Request profiler.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   config/boot.rb correctly detects RAILS_GEM_VERSION.  #9834 *alexch, thewoolleyman*
+
+*   Fixed incorrect migration number if script/generate executed outside of Rails root #7080 *Jeremy McAnally*
+
+*   Update Prototype to 1.6.0_rc1 and script.aculo.us to 1.8.0 preview 0.  *sam, madrobby*
+
+*   Generated fixtures use the actual primary key instead of id.  #4343 *Frederick Ros, Tarmo Tänav*
+
+*   Extend the console +helper+ method to allow you to include custom helpers.  e.g:
+    >> helper :posts
+    >> helper.some_method_from_posts_helper(Post.find(1))
+
+*   db:create works with remote databases whereas db:create:all only creates
+    databases on localhost.  #9753 *Trevor Wennblom*
+
+*   Removed calls to fixtures in generated tests as fixtures :all is now present by default in test_helper.rb *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Add --prefix option to script/server when using mongrel. *dacat*
+
+
+## 2.0.0 Preview Release (September 29th, 2007) Includes duplicates of changes from 1.1.4 - 1.2.3 ##
+
+*   Fixed that installing plugins from SVN repositories that use trunk/ will work #8188 *evan*
+
+*   Moved the SourceAnnotationExtractor to a separate file in case libraries try to load the rails rake tasks twice. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Moved Dispatcher to ActionController::Dispatcher.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Changed the default logger from Ruby's own Logger with the clean_logger extensions to ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger for performance reasons [David Heinemeier Hansson]. (You can change it back with config.logger = Logger.new("/path/to/log", level).)
+
+*   Added a default 422.html page to be rendered when ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid, ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved, or ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken is raised *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added --skip-fixture option to script/generate model #6862 *sandofsky*
+
+*   Print Rails version when starting console #7440 *eyematz*
+
+*   Fixed the placement of fixture files for nested models when generating through script/generate model #7547 *jkit*
+
+*   Added TEMPLATE option to rake doc:app to set a custom output template #7737 *Jakob Skjerning*
+
+*   Added VERBOSE option to rake db:migrate to turn off output #8204 *John Barnette*
+
+*   Fixed that rake doc:app should use UTF-8 #8906 *farzy*
+
+*   Fixes rake annotations to search erb and builder files as well #9150 *m.langenberg*
+
+*   Removed web_service generator *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added the :all option to config.plugins that'll include the rest of the plugins not already explicitly named #9613 [Frederick Cheung]. Example:
+
+        # Loads :classic_pagination before all the other plugins
+        config.plugins = [ :classic_pagination, :all ]
+
+*   Added symbols as a legal way of specifying plugins in config.plugins #9629 *tom*
+
+*   Removed deprecated task names, like clear_logs, in favor of the new namespaced style *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Support multiple config.after_initialize blocks so plugins and apps can more easily cooperate.  #9582 *Zach Dennis*
+
+*   Added db:drop:all to drop all databases declared in config/database.yml *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Use attribute pairs instead of the migration name to create add and remove column migrations.  Closes #9166 *Pratik Naik*
+
+    For example:
+
+    ruby script/generation migration AddSomeStuffToCustomers first_name:string last_name:string
+
+    or
+
+    ruby script/generation migration RemoveSomeStuffFromCustomers first_name:string last_name:string
+
+*   Add ActiveResource to Rails::Info.  Closes #8741 *Chris Kampmeier*
+
+*   use Gem.find_name instead of search when freezing gems.  Prevent false positives for other gems with rails in the name. Closes #8729 *wselman*
+
+*   Automatically generate add/remove column commands in specially named migrations like AddLocationToEvent.  Closes #9006 *Ryan Davis*
+
+*   Default to plural table name in Rails Generator if ActiveRecord is not present.  Closes #8963 *evan*
+
+*   Added rake routes for listing all the defined routes in the system.  #8795 *Josh Peek*
+
+*   db:create creates the database for the current environment if it's on localhost. db:create:all creates local databases for all environments.  #8783 *matt*
+
+*   Generators: look for generators in all gems, not just those suffixed with _generator, in the gem's generators or rails_generators directory. Allow use of the rails_generators directory instead of the standard generators directory in plugins also.  #8730 *Dr Nic, topfunky*
+
+*   MySQL, PostgreSQL: database.yml defaults to utf-8.  #8701 *matt*
+
+*   Added db:version to get the current schema number *via Err The Blog*
+
+*   Added --skip-migration option to scaffold and resource generators #8656 *Michael Glaesemann*
+
+*   Fix that FCGIs would leave log files open when asked to shut down by USR2.  #3028 *Sebastian Kanthak, Josh Peek*
+
+*   Fixed that dispatcher preparation callbacks only run once in production mode.  Mock Routes.reload so that dispatcher preparation callback tests run. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix syntax error in dispatcher than wrecked failsafe responses.  #8625 *mtitorenko*
+
+*   Scaffolded validation errors set the appropriate HTTP status for XML responses.  #6946, #8622 *Manfred Stienstra, mmmultiworks*
+
+*   Sexy migrations for the session_migration generator.  #8561 *Vladislav*
+
+*   Console reload! runs to_prepare callbacks also.  #8393 *f.svehla*
+
+*   Generated migrations include timestamps by default.  #8501 *Shane Vitarana*
+
+*   Drop Action Web Service from rails:freeze:edge.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add db:create, drop, reset, charset, and collation tasks.  #8448 *matt*
+
+*   Scaffold generator depends on model generator instead of duplicating it.  #7222 *bscofield*
+
+*   Scaffold generator tests.  #8443 *pelle*
+
+*   Generated scaffold functional tests use assert_difference.  #8421 *Norbert Crombach*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.1.  *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Update to script.aculo.us 1.7.1_beta3.  *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Generators use *.html.erb view template naming.  #8278 *Tim Pope*
+
+*   Updated resource_scaffold and model generators to use short-hand style migrations *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Updated initializer to only load #{RAILS_ENV}.rb once. Added deprecation warning for config.breakpoint_server. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Removed breakpointer and Binding.of_caller in favor of relying on ruby-debug by Kent Sibilev since the breakpointer has been broken since Ruby 1.8.4 and will not be coming back *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+    To use the new debugger, start your server with script/server --debugger and insert a call to  'debugger'
+    (instead of 'breakpoint') where you want to jump into the debugger.
+
+    BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY NOTE: You must remove the default line 12 from config/environments/development.rb:
+
+        config.breakpoint_server = true
+
+    This configuration option is no longer available. Rails will fail to start in development mode as long as
+    that's still present.
+
+*   Resource scaffolding returns the created entity.to_xml.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Resource scaffolding responds to new.xml.  #8185 *Eric Mill*
+
+*   Include Active Resource in rails:freeze:edge rake task.  *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Include Active Resource instead of Action Web Service [David Heinemeier Hansson] You can add AWS back with this in config/environment.rb:
+
+        config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionwebservice/lib )
+
+    ...or just gem 'actionwebservice'
+
+*   Give generate scaffold a more descriptive database message.  Closes #7316 *Jeremy McAnally*
+
+*   Canonicalize RAILS_ROOT by using File.expand_path on Windows, which doesn't have to worry about symlinks, and Pathname#realpath elsewhere, which respects symlinks in relative paths but is incompatible with Windows.  #6755 *Jeremy Kemper, trevor*
+
+*   Deprecation: remove components from controller paths.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add environment variable RAILS_DEFAULT_DATABASE, which allows the builtin default of 'mysql' to be overridden. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Windows: include MinGW in RUBY_PLATFORM check.  #2982 *okkez000@gmail.com, Kaspar Schiess*
+
+*   Split out the basic plugin locator functionality into an abstract super class. Add a FileSystemLocator to do the job of checking the plugin_paths for plugins. Add plugin_locators configuration option which will iterate over the set of plugin locators and load each of the plugin loaders they return. Rename locater everywhere to locator. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Split plugin location and loading out of the initializer and into a new Plugin namespace, which includes Plugin::Locater and Plugin::Loader. The loader class that is used can be customized using the config.plugin_loader option.  Those monkey patching the plugin loading subsystem take note, the internals changing here will likely break your modifications. The good news is that it should be substantially easier to hook into the plugin locating and loading process now.  *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added assumption that all plugin creators desire to be sharing individuals and release their work under the MIT license *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added source-annotations extractor tasks to rake [Jamis Buck]. This allows you to add FIXME, OPTIMIZE, and TODO comments to your source code that can then be extracted in concert with rake notes (shows all), rake notes:fixme, rake notes:optimize and rake notes:todo.
+
+*   Added fixtures :all to test_helper.rb to assume that most people just want all their fixtures loaded all the time *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added config/initializers where all ruby files within it are automatically loaded after the Rails configuration is done, so you don't have to litter the environment.rb file with a ton of mixed stuff *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   For new apps, generate a random secret for the cookie-based session store.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Stop swallowing errors during rake test *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Update Rails Initializer to use ActionController::Base#view_paths *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fix gem deprecation warnings, which also means depending on RubyGems 0.9.0+ *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Plugins may be symlinked in vendor/plugins.  #4245 *brandon, progrium@gmail.com*
+
+*   Resource generator depends on the model generator rather than duplicating it.  #7269 *bscofield*
+
+*   Add/Update usage documentation for script/destroy, resource generator and scaffold_resource generator.  Closes #7092, #7271, #7267.  *bscofield*
+
+*   Update to script.aculo.us 1.7.0.  *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Generator: use destination path for diff tempfiles.  #7015 *alfeld*
+
+*   Fixed that webrick would strip leading newlines and hang connection #4156 *psross*
+
+*   Ensure plugins are in the Dependencies.load_once_paths collection by default.  *Rick Olson*
+    If you really want your plugins to reload, add this to the very top of init.rb:
+
+        Dependencies.load_once_paths.delete(lib_path)
+
+*   Allow config.to_prepare to work, make the dispatcher safe to 're require'. *Michael Koziarski, Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix scaffold_resource generator so it respects the --pretend argument when creating the routes file.  Closes #6852 *fearoffish*
+
+*   Fix Webrick Daemon dispatching bug regarding a bad current working directory.  Closes #4899 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Make config.plugins affect the load path and the dependencies system.  Allows you to control plugin loading order, and keep disabled plugins off the load path. *James Adam*
+
+*   Don't generate a components directory in new Rails apps.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed script/process/spawner to work properly with Mongrel including in -r (daemonize mode) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added one-letter aliases for the three default environments to script/console, so script/console p will load the production environment (t for test, d for development) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that script/server running against Mongrel should tail the proper log regardless of the environment *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Update initializer to load Rails::VERSION as soon as possible. Closes #6698. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base.clear_active_connections! in development mode so the database connection is not carried over from request to request. Some databases won't reread the schema if that doesn't happen (I'm looking at you SQLite), so you have to restart the server after each migration (= no fun) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Made RAILS_GEM_VERSION work for beta gems too, so specifying 1.1.6 will give you 1.1.6.4520 if available *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Update to Prototype and script.aculo.us [5579]. *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Made script/server work with -e and -d when using Mongrel *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc2 [5550] which makes it work in Opera again *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Make sure that exceptions which are thrown outside of the user code try their best to be handeled in ApplicationController#rescue_action *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Rails::VERSION::STRING should always be available without having to require 'rails/version'.  #6244 *fearoffish*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc2. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Add grep-based fallback to reaper, to work in pidless setups *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Only wrap request processing with our USR1 signal handler so FastCGI can trap it and raise an exception while waiting for connections. Idle processes exit immediately rather than waiting for another request; active processes gracefully exit when the request is finished.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Alter prior change to use require_dependency instead of require_or_load. Causes ApplicationController to be reloaded again. Closes #6587. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Rake: use absolute paths to load lib and vendor tasks so they may be run outside of RAILS_ROOT.  #6584 *jchris*
+
+*   Remove temporary crutch to help ApplicationController be unloaded. Closes #6496. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   scaffold_resource generator uses _path named routes and head instead of render :nothing => true.  #6545 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Generator can show diff on file collision to help you decide whether to skip or overwrite.  #6364 *jeffw, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Generated directories are recursively svn added, like mkdir -p.  #6416 *NeilW*
+
+*   resource and scaffold_resource generators add a restful route to config/routes.rb  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Revert environment changes for autoload_paths. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Update to latest Prototype, which doesn't serialize disabled form elements, adds clone() to arrays, empty/non-string Element.update() and adds a fixes excessive error reporting in WebKit beta versions *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Clean up the output of rake stats,  de-emphasise components and apis, and remove the indents for tests *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added option to script/process/spawner of specifying the binding address #5133 *Dee Zsombor*
+
+*   Update environment.rb comments to include config.autoload_paths. Closes #6478 *caio*
+
+*   Update scaffold to use new form_tag block functionality.  Closes #6480. *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Plugin generator: check for class collisions.  #4833 *vinbarnes@gmail.com*
+
+*   Mailer generator: handle mailers in modules, set mime_version in unit test.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Set $KCODE to 'u' by default to enable the multibyte safe String#chars proxy. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added config.plugins to control which plugins are loaded #6269 [Stefan Kaes]. By default, everything in vendor/plugins will be loaded, but if you specify config.plugins, only those will be loaded. Example:
+
+        config.plugins = %w[ routing_navigator simply_helpful ]
+
+*   Clean up html on included error pages. *Tim Lucas*
+
+*   Fixed default 404.html and 500.htmls to remove extreme ugliness and include human language *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Update to latest Prototype and script.aculo.us trunk versions *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: db:test:purge closes open database connections first.  #6236 *alex*
+
+*   Fixed test:uncommitted on Windows (backslash issue) #4999 *paul@paulbutcher.com*
+
+*   Fixed migration creation to work with namespaced models, so script/generate model Gallery::Image will use create_table :gallery_images #6327 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Fixed rename_table on SQLite tables with indexes defined #5942 *brandon@opensoul.org*
+
+*   Added default timeout setting of 5 seconds to SQLite3 database.yml configurations *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added generated attribute options to script/generate model, like the one found in scaffold_resource and resource [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
+
+        ./script/generate model post title:string created_on:date body:text published:boolean
+
+*   Added script/generate resource which works just like scaffold_resource, but creates empty placeholders instead of predefined *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   script/runner can run files, pass on arguments, and be used as a shebang.  #6286 *Tuxie, dlpond*
+        #!/usr/bin/env /path/to/my/app/script/runner
+        # Example: just start using your models as if you are in script/console
+        Product.find(:all).each { |product| product.check_inventory }
+
+*   Look for rake tasks in plugin subdirs.  #6259 *obrie*
+
+*   Added map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' as a default route to config/routes.rb *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Updated prototype.js to 1.5.0_rc1 with latest fixes. *Rick Olson*
+
+    - XPATH support
+    - Make Form.getElements() return elements in the correct order
+    - fix broken Form.serialize return
+
+*   session_migration generator adds an index on updated_at.  #6207 *grg*
+
+*   script/server creates the tmp/pids directory.  #6204 *jonathan*
+
+*   Fix script/console --sandbox for internal transactions changes.  #5738 *Chris McGrath, charles.gerungan@gmail.com*
+
+*   Remove the uncanny default of adding all app/models/*/ directories to the load path. This change will break application which expect the current behavior. As
+    documented in initializer.rb, the workaround is:
+
+    config.autoload_paths += Dir*RAILS_ROOT + '/app/models/*/'*
+
+    References #6031. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Update to script.aculo.us 1.6.3 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0_rc1 *sam*
+
+*   Formally Deprecate the old rake tasks. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Thoroughly test the FCGI dispatcher.  #5970 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Remove Dir.chdir in the Webrick DispatchServlet#initialize method.  Fix bad path errors when trying to load config/routes.rb.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Tighten rescue clauses.  #5985 *james@grayproductions.net*
+
+*   Cleaning up tests. *Kevin Clark, Jeremy Kemper*

+
+*   Updated to script.aculo.us 1.6.2 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Assign Routing.controller_paths; fix script/about and rails info controller. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Don't warn dispatcher of Reloadable deprecations. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Rearrange application resetting and preparation, fix bug with leaking subclasses hash in ActiveRecord::Base *Rick Olson*
+
+    ActiveRecord::Base.reset_subclasses is called before Dependencies are cleared and classes removed.
+    ActiveRecord::Base.instantiate_observers is called during a Dispatcher preparation callback.
+
+*   Add missing mock directories from the autoload_paths configuration.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Nested controller scaffolding also nests the generated layout. *iain d broadfoot*
+

+
+*   Add autoload_paths support to Initializer. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix Dispatcher.reset_application! so that AR subclasses are removed and Observers re-initialized *after* Reloadable classes are removed. Closes #5743.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Clarify usage of script/plugin source. Closes #5344. *James Adam*
+
+*   Add Dispatcher.to_prepare and config.to_prepare to provide a pre-request hook. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Tweak the Rails load order so observers are loaded after plugins, and reloaded in development mode. Closed #5279.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added that you can change the web server port in config/lighttpd.conf from script/server --port/-p #5465 *mats@imediatec.co.uk*
+
+*   script/performance/profiler compatibility with the new ruby-prof, including an option to choose the results printer.  #5679 *Shugo Maeda*
+
+*   Fixed the failsafe response so it uses either the current recognized controller or ApplicationController.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Make sure script/reaper only reaps dispatcher pids by default, and not the spawner's pid. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fix script/plugin about so it uses about.yml and not meta.yml.  *James Adam*
+
+*   Dispatcher processes rescued actions with the same controller that processed the request. #4625 *sd@notso.net*
+
+*   rails -d frontbase to create a new project with a frontbase database.yml. #4945 *mlaster@metavillage.com*
+
+*   Ensure the logger is initialized. #5629 *mike@clarkware.com*
+
+*   Added Mongrel-spawning capabilities to script/process/spawner. Mongrel will be the default choice if installed, otherwise FCGI is tried [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:

+
+    Also note that script/process/reaper is Mongrel capable. So the combination of spawner and reaper is a built-in alternative to something like mongrel_cluster.

+
+*   Fix bug with 'script/plugin install' so it reports unknown plugin names correctly.  *Rick Olson*

+
+*   Create temporary dirs relative to RAILS_ROOT when running script/server #5014 *elliot@townx.org*

+
+*   Added -n/--process to script/process/spawner name the process pid (default is dispatch) *David Heinemeier Hansson*

+
+*   Stop swallowing errors during rake test *Michael Koziarski*
+
+
+## 1.2.2 (February 5th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Fix gem deprecation warnings, which also means depending on RubyGems 0.9.0+ *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Require the dispatcher for Rails::Configuration#to_prepare.  *Rick Olson*
+
+
+## 1.2.1 (January 16th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Updated to Active Record 1.15.1, Action Pack 1.13.1, Action Mailer 1.3.1, Action Web Service 1.2.1
+
+
+## 1.2.0 (January 16th, 2007) ##
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Generator: use destination path for diff tempfiles.  #7015 *alfeld*
+
+*   Fixed that webrick would strip leading newlines and hang connection #4156 *psross*
+
+*   Ensure plugins are in the Dependencies.load_once_paths collection by default.  *Rick Olson*
+    If you really want your plugins to reload, add this to the very top of init.rb:
+
+        Dependencies.load_once_paths.delete(lib_path)
+
+*   Fix scaffold_resource generator so it respects the --pretend argument when creating the routes file.  Closes #6852 *fearoffish*
+
+*   Fix Webrick Daemon dispatching bug regarding a bad current working directory.  Closes #4899 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Make config.plugins affect the load path and the dependencies system.  Allows you to control plugin loading order, and keep disabled plugins off the load path. *James Adam*
+
+*   Don't generate a components directory in new Rails apps.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Fixed script/process/spawner to work properly with Mongrel including in -r (daemonize mode) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Deprecated the name route "root" as it'll be used as a shortcut for map.connect '' in Rails 2.0 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that script/server running against Mongrel should tail the proper log regardless of the environment *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Update initializer to load Rails::VERSION as soon as possible. Closes #6698. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added ActiveRecord::Base.clear_active_connections! in development mode so the database connection is not carried over from request to request. Some databases won't reread the schema if that doesn't happen (I'm looking at you SQLite), so you have to restart the server after each migration (= no fun) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Made RAILS_GEM_VERSION work for beta gems too, so specifying 1.1.6 will give you 1.1.6.4520 if available *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Update to Prototype and script.aculo.us [5579]. *Sam Stephenson, Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Made script/server work with -e and -d when using Mongrel *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Make sure that exceptions which are thrown outside of the user code try their best to be handeled in ApplicationController#rescue_action *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Rails::VERSION::STRING should always be available without having to require 'rails/version'.  #6244 *fearoffish*
+
+*   Add grep-based fallback to reaper, to work in pidless setups *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Only wrap request processing with our USR1 signal handler so FastCGI can trap it and raise an exception while waiting for connections. Idle processes exit immediately rather than waiting for another request; active processes gracefully exit when the request is finished.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Alter prior change to use require_dependency instead of require_or_load. Causes ApplicationController to be reloaded again. Closes #6587. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Rake: use absolute paths to load lib and vendor tasks so they may be run outside of RAILS_ROOT.  #6584 *jchris*
+
+*   scaffold_resource generator uses _path named routes and head instead of render :nothing => true.  #6545 *Josh Susser*
+
+*   Generator can show diff on file collision to help you decide whether to skip or overwrite.  #6364 *jeffw, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Generated directories are recursively svn added, like mkdir -p.  #6416 *NeilW*
+
+*   resource and scaffold_resource generators add a restful route to config/routes.rb  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Revert environment changes for autoload_paths. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Clean up the output of rake stats,  de-emphasise components and apis, and remove the indents for tests *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added option to script/process/spawner of specifying the binding address #5133 *Dee Zsombor*
+
+*   Update environment.rb comments to include config.autoload_paths. Closes #6478 *caio*
+
+*   Update scaffold to use new form_tag block functionality.  Closes #6480. *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Plugin generator: check for class collisions.  #4833 *vinbarnes@gmail.com*
+
+*   Mailer generator: handle mailers in modules, set mime_version in unit test.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Set $KCODE to 'u' by default to enable the multibyte safe String#chars proxy. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added config.plugins to control which plugins are loaded #6269 [Stefan Kaes]. By default, everything in vendor/plugins will be loaded, but if you specify config.plugins, only those will be loaded. Example:
+
+        config.plugins = %w[ routing_navigator simply_helpful ]
+
+*   Clean up html on included error pages. *Tim Lucas*
+
+*   Fixed default 404.html and 500.htmls to remove extreme ugliness and include human language *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Update to latest Prototype and script.aculo.us trunk versions *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: db:test:purge closes open database connections first.  #6236 *alex*
+
+*   Fixed test:uncommitted on Windows (backslash issue) #4999 *paul@paulbutcher.com*
+
+*   Fixed migration creation to work with namespaced models, so script/generate model Gallery::Image will use create_table :gallery_images #6327 *Bob Silva*
+
+*   Fixed rename_table on SQLite tables with indexes defined #5942 *brandon@opensoul.org*
+
+*   Added default timeout setting of 5 seconds to SQLite3 database.yml configurations *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added generated attribute options to script/generate model, like the one found in scaffold_resource and resource [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
+
+        ./script/generate model post title:string created_on:date body:text published:boolean
+
+*   Added script/generate resource which works just like scaffold_resource, but creates empty placeholders instead of predefined *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   script/runner can run files, pass on arguments, and be used as a shebang.  #6286 *Tuxie, dlpond*
+        #!/usr/bin/env /path/to/my/app/script/runner
+        # Example: just start using your models as if you are in script/console
+        Product.find(:all).each { |product| product.check_inventory }
+
+*   Look for rake tasks in plugin subdirs.  #6259 *obrie*
+
+*   Added map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' as a default route to config/routes.rb *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   session_migration generator adds an index on updated_at.  #6207 *grg*
+
+*   script/server creates the tmp/pids directory.  #6204 *jonathan*
+
+*   Fix script/console --sandbox for internal transactions changes.  #5738 *Chris McGrath, charles.gerungan@gmail.com*
+
+*   Remove the uncanny default of adding all app/models/*/ directories to the load path. This change will break application which expect the current behavior. As
+    documented in initializer.rb, the workaround is:
+
+    config.autoload_paths += Dir*RAILS_ROOT + '/app/models/*/'*
+
+    References #6031. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Update to script.aculo.us 1.6.3 *Thomas Fuchs*
+

+
+*   Assign Routing.controller_paths; fix script/about and rails info controller. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Don't warn dispatcher of Reloadable deprecations. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Rearrange application resetting and preparation, fix bug with leaking subclasses hash in ActiveRecord::Base *Rick Olson*
+
+    ActiveRecord::Base.reset_subclasses is called before Dependencies are cleared and classes removed.
+    ActiveRecord::Base.instantiate_observers is called during a Dispatcher preparation callback.
+
+*   Add missing mock directories from the autoload_paths configuration.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Nested controller scaffolding also nests the generated layout. *iain d broadfoot*
+
+*   Add "require 'dispatcher'" to webrick server in the continuing quest to squash webrick weirdness. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Add autoload_paths support to Initializer. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix Dispatcher.reset_application! so that AR subclasses are removed and Observers re-initialized *after* Reloadable classes are removed. Closes #5743.  *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Clarify usage of script/plugin source. Closes #5344. *James Adam*
+
+*   Add Dispatcher.to_prepare and config.to_prepare to provide a pre-request hook. *Nicholas Seckar*

+
+*   Make sure script/reaper only reaps dispatcher pids by default, and not the spawner's pid. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Fix script/plugin about so it uses about.yml and not meta.yml.  *James Adam*
+
+*   Dispatcher processes rescued actions with the same controller that processed the request. #4625 *sd@notso.net*
+
+*   rails -d frontbase to create a new project with a frontbase database.yml. #4945 *mlaster@metavillage.com*
+
+*   Ensure the logger is initialized. #5629 *mike@clarkware.com*
+
+*   Added Mongrel-spawning capabilities to script/process/spawner. Mongrel will be the default choice if installed, otherwise FCGI is tried [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
+
+        spawner               # starts instances on 8000, 8001, and 8002 using Mongrel if available
+        spawner fcgi          # starts instances on 8000, 8001, and 8002 using FCGI
+        spawner mongrel -i 5  # starts instances on 8000, 8001, 8002, 8003, and 8004 using Mongrel
+        spawner -p 9100 -i 10 # starts 10 instances counting from 9100 to 9109 using Mongrel if available
+        spawner -p 9100 -r 5  # starts 3 instances counting from 9100 to 9102 and attempts start them every 5 seconds
+
+    Also note that script/process/reaper is Mongrel capable. So the combination of spawner and reaper is a built-in alternative to something like mongrel_cluster.
+

+*   Allow db:fixtures:load to load a subset of the applications fixtures. *Chad Fowler*
+
+    ex.
+
+     rake db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=customers,plans
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0_pre1 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Update to script.aculo.us 1.6 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Add an integration_test generator *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Make all ActionView helpers available in the console from the helper method for debugging purposes. n.b.: Only an 80% solution. Some stuff won't work, most will. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+    ex.
+
+        >> puts helper.options_for_select([%w(a 1), %w(b 2), %w(c 3)])
+        <option value="1">a</option>
+        <option value="2">b</option>
+        <option value="3">c</option>
+        => nil
+
+*   Replaced old session rake tasks with db:sessions:create to generate a migration, and db:sessions:clear to remove sessions. *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Reject Ruby 1.8.3 when loading Rails; extract version checking code. *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Remove explicit loading of RailsInfo and RailsInfoController. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Move RailsInfo and RailsInfoController to Rails::Info and Rails::InfoController. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Extend load path with Railties' builtin directory to make adding support code easy. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fix the rails_info controller by explicitly loading it, and marking it as not reloadable. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed rails:freeze:gems for Windows #3274 *paul@paulbutcher.com*
+
+*   Added 'port open?' check to the spawner when running in repeat mode so we don't needlessly boot the dispatcher if the port is already in use anyway #4089 *guy.naor@famundo.com*
+
+*   Add verification to generated scaffolds,  don't allow get for unsafe actions *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Don't replace application.js in public/javascripts if it already exists *Cody Fauser*
+
+*   Change test:uncommitted to delay execution of `svn status` by using internal Rake API's. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Use require_library_or_gem to load rake in commands/server.rb.  Closes #4205.  *rob.rasmussen@gmail.com*
+
+*   Use the Rake API instead of shelling out to create the tmp directory in commands/server.rb. *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Added a backtrace to the evil WSOD (White Screen of Death).  Closes #4073. TODO: Clearer exceptions *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added tracking of database and framework versions in script/about #4088 *charles.gerungan@gmail.com/Rick Olson*
+
+*   Added public/javascripts/application.js as a sample since it'll automatically be included in javascript_include_tag :defaults *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added socket cleanup for lighttpd, both before and after *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added automatic creation of tmp/ when running script/server *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added silence_stream that'll work on both STDERR or STDOUT or any other stream and deprecated silence_stderr in the process *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added reload! method to script/console to reload all models and others that include Reloadable without quitting the console #4056 *esad@esse.at*
+
+*   Added that rake rails:freeze:edge will now just export all the contents of the frameworks instead of just lib, so stuff like rails:update:scripts, rails:update:javascripts, and script/server on lighttpd still just works #4047 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added fix for upload problems with lighttpd from Safari/IE to config/lighttpd.conf #3999 *Thijs van der Vossen*
+
+*   Added test:uncommitted to test changes since last checkin to Subversion #4035 *technomancy@gmail.com*
+
+*   Help script/about print the correct svn revision when in a non-English locale.  #4026 *babie7a0@ybb.ne.jp*
+
+*   Add 'app' accessor to script/console as an instance of Integration::Session *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Generator::Base#usage takes an optional message argument which defaults to Generator::Base#usage_message. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Remove the extraneous AR::Base.threaded_connections setting from the webrick server. *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Add integration test support to app generation and testing *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added namespaces to all tasks, so for example load_fixtures is now db:fixtures:load. All the old task names are still valid, they just point to the new namespaced names. "rake -T" will only show the namespaced ones, though *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   CHANGED DEFAULT: ActiveRecord::Base.schema_format is now :ruby by default instead of :sql. This means that we'll assume you want to live in the world of db/schema.rb where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. If your schema contains un-dumpable elements, such as constraints or database-specific column types, you just got an invitation to either 1) patch the dumper to include foreign key support, 2) stop being db specific, or 3) just change the default in config/environment.rb to config.active_record.schema_format = :sql -- we even include an example for that on new Rails skeletons now. Brought to you by the federation of opinionated framework builders! *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added -r/--repeat option to script/process/spawner that offers the same loop protection as the spinner did. This deprecates the script/process/spinner, so it's no longer included in the default Rails skeleton, but still available for backwards compatibility #3461 *ror@andreas-s.net*
+
+*   Added collision option to template generation in generators #3329 [anna@wota.jp]. Examples:
+
+        m.template "stuff.config" , "config/stuff.config" , :collision => :skip
+        m.template "auto-stamping", "config/generator.log", :collision => :force
+
+*   Added more information to script/plugin's doings to ease debugging #3755 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Changed the default configuration for lighttpd to use tmp/sockets instead of log/ for the FastCGI sockets *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added a default configuration of the FileStore for fragment caching if tmp/cache is available, which makes action/fragment caching ready to use out of the box with no additional configuration *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Changed the default session configuration to place sessions in tmp/sessions, if that directory is available, instead of /tmp (this essentially means a goodbye to 9/10 White Screen of Death errors and should have web hosting firms around the world cheering) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added tmp/sessions, tmp/cache, and tmp/sockets as default directories in the Rails skeleton *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added that script/generate model will now automatically create a migration file for the model created. This can be turned off by calling the generator with --skip-migration *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added -d/--database option to the rails command, so you can do "rails --database=sqlite2 myapp" to start a new application preconfigured to use SQLite2 as the database. Removed the configuration examples from SQLite and PostgreSQL from the default MySQL configuration *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Allow script/server -c /path/to/lighttpd.conf *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Remove hardcoded path to reaper script in script/server *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Update script.aculo.us to V1.5.3 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Added SIGTRAP signal handler to RailsFCGIHandler that'll force the process into a breakpoint after the next request. This breakpoint can then be caught with script/breakpointer and give you access to the Ruby image inside that process. Useful for debugging memory leaks among other things *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Changed default lighttpd.conf to use CWD from lighttpd 1.4.10 that allows the same configuration to be used for both detach and not. Also ensured that auto-repeaping of FCGIs only happens when lighttpd is not detached. *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added Configuration#after_initialize for registering a block which gets called after the framework is fully initialized.  Useful for things like per-environment configuration of plugins. *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Added check for RAILS_FRAMEWORK_ROOT constant that allows the Rails framework to be found in a different place than vendor/rails. Should be set in boot.rb. *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed that static requests could unlock the mutex guarding dynamic requests in the WEBrick servlet #3433 *tom@craz8.com*
+
+*   Fixed documentation tasks to work with Rake 0.7.0 #3563 *kazuhiko@fdiary.net*
+
+*   Update to Prototype 1.5.0_pre0 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Sort the list of plugins so we load in a consistent order *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Show usage when script/plugin is called without arguments *tom@craz8.com*
+
+*   Corrected problems with plugin loader where plugins set 'name' incorrectly #3297 *anna@wota.jp*
+
+*   Make migration generator only report on exact duplicate names, not partial dupliate names. #3442 *jeremy@planetargon.com Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fix typo in mailer generator USAGE. #3458 *chriztian.steinmeier@gmail.com*
+
+*   Ignore version mismatch between pg_dump and the database server. #3457 *Simon Stapleton*
+
+*   Reap FCGI processes after lighttpd exits. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Honor ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names when creating and destroying session store table. #3204. *rails@bencurtis.com, Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+## 1.0.0 (December 13th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Update instructions on how to find and install generators. #3172. *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Generator looks in vendor/generators also.  *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Generator copies files in binary mode.  #3156 *minimudboy@gmail.com*
+
+*   Add builtin/ to the gemspec. Closes #3047. *Nicholas Seckar, Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Add install.rb file to plugin generation which is loaded, if it exists, when you install a plugin. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Run initialize_logger in script/lighttpd to ensure the log file exists before tailing it. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Make load_fixtures include csv fixtures. #3053. *me@mdaines.com*
+
+*   Fix freeze_gems so that the latest rails version is dumped by default. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   script/plugin: handle root paths and plugin names which contain spaces.  #2995 *justin@aspect.net*
+
+*   Model generator: correct relative path to test_helper in unit test.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Make the db_schema_dump task honor the SCHEMA environment variable if present the way db_schema_import does. #2931. *Blair Zajac*
+
+*   Have the lighttpd server script report the actual ip to which the server is bound. #2903. *Adam*
+
+*   Add plugin library directories to the load path after the lib directory so that libraries in the lib directory get precedence. #2910. *James Adam*
+
+*   Make help for the console command more explicit about how to specify the desired environment in which to run the console. #2911. *anonymous*
+
+*   PostgreSQL: the purge_test_database Rake task shouldn't explicitly specify the template0 template when creating a fresh test database.  #2964 *Dreamer3*
+
+*   Introducing the session_migration generator.  Creates an add_session_table migration.  Allows generator to specify migrations directory.  #2958, #2960 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   script/console uses RAILS_ENV environment variable if present.  #2932 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>
+
+*   Windows: eliminate the socket option in database.yml.  #2924 *Wayne Vucenic <waynev@gmail.com>*
+
+*   Eliminate nil from newly generated logfiles.  #2927 *Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   Rename Version constant to VERSION. #2802 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Eliminate Subversion dependencies in scripts/plugin.  Correct install options.  Introduce --force option to reinstall a plugin.  Remove useless --long option for list.  Use --quiet to quiet the download output and --revision to update to a specific svn revision.  #2842 *Chad Fowler, Rick Olson*
+
+*   SQLite: the clone_structure_to_test and purge_test_database Rake tasks should always use the test environment.  #2846 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Make sure that legacy db tasks also reference :database for SQLite #2830 *kazuhiko@fdiary.net*
+
+*   Pass __FILE__ when evaluating plugins' init.rb.  #2817 *James Adam*
+
+*   Better svn status matching for generators.  #2814 *François Beausoleil <francois.beausoleil@gmail.com>, Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>*
+
+*   Don't reload routes until plugins have been loaded so they have a chance to extend the routing capabilities *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Don't detach or fork for script/server tailing *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Changed all script/* to use #!/usr/bin/env ruby instead of hard-coded Ruby path. public/dispatcher.* still uses the hard-coded path  for compatibility with web servers that don't have Ruby in path *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Force RAILS_ENV to be "test" when running tests, so that ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "production" in config/environment.rb doesn't wreck havok [David Heinemeier Hansson] #2660
+
+*   Correct versioning in :freeze_gems Rake task.  #2778 *Jakob Skjerning, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added an omnipresent RailsInfoController with a properties action that delivers an HTML rendering of Rails::Info (but only when local_request? is true). Added a new default index.html which fetches this with Ajax. *Sam Stephenson*
+
+
+## 0.14.3 (RC4) (November 7th, 2005) ##
+
+##  Add 'add_new_scripts' rake task for adding new rails scripts to script/ Jamis Buck ##
+
+*   Remove bogus hyphen from script/process/reaper calls to 'ps'.  #2767 *anonymous*
+
+*   Copy lighttpd.conf when it is first needed, instead of on app creation *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Use require_library_or_gem 'fcgi' in script/server *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Added default lighttpd config in config/lighttpd.conf and added a default runner for lighttpd in script/server (works like script/server, but using lighttpd and FastCGI). It will use lighttpd if available, otherwise WEBrick. You can force either or using 'script/server lighttpd' or 'script/server webrick' *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   New configuration option config.plugin_paths which may be a single path like the default 'vendor/plugins' or an array of paths: ['vendor/plugins', 'lib/plugins'].  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Plugins are discovered in nested paths, so you can organize your plugins directory as you like.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Refactor load_plugin from load_plugins.  #2757 *alex.r.moon@gmail.com*
+
+*   Make use of silence_stderr in script/lighttpd, script/plugin, and Rails::Info *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Enable HTTP installation of plugins when svn isn't avaialable. Closes #2661. *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Added script/about to display formatted Rails::Info output *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Added Rails::Info to catalog assorted information about a Rails application's environment *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Tail the logfile when running script/server lighttpd in the foreground *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Try to guess the port number from config/lighttpd.conf in script/server lighttpd *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Don't reap spawn-fcgi.  #2727 *matthew@walker.wattle.id.au*
+
+*   Reaper knows how to find processes even if the dispatch path is very long.  #2711 *matthew@walker.wattle.id.au*
+
+*   Make fcgi handler respond to TERM signals with an explicit exit *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added demonstration of fixture use to the test case generated by the model generator *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   If specified, pass PostgreSQL client character encoding to createdb.  #2703 *Kazuhiko <kazuhiko@fdiary.net>*
+
+*   Catch CGI multipart parse errors.  Wrap dispatcher internals in a failsafe response handler.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   The freeze_gems Rake task accepts the VERSION environment variable to decide which version of Rails to pull into vendor/rails.  *Chad Fowler, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Removed script.aculo.us.js, builder.js and slider.js (preperation for move of scriptaculous extensions to plugins, core scriptaculous will remain in Railties) *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   The freeze_edge Rake task does smarter svn detection and can export a specific revision by passing the REVISION environment variable.  For example: rake freeze_edge REVISION=1234.  #2663 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Comment database.yml and include PostgreSQL and SQLite examples.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Improve script/plugin on Windows.  #2646 *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   The *_plugindoc Rake tasks look deeper into the plugins' lib directories.  #2652 *bellis@deepthought.org*
+
+*   The PostgreSQL :db_structure_dump Rake task limits its dump to the schema search path in database.yml.  *Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com>*
+
+*   Add task to generate rdoc for all installed plugins. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Update script.aculo.us to V1.5_rc4 *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Add default Mac + DarwinPorts MySQL socket locations to the app generator.  *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Migrations may be destroyed: script/destroy migration foo.  #2635 *Charles M. Gerungan <charles.gerungan@gmail.com>, Jamis Buck, Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added that plugins can carry generators and that generator stub files can be created along with new plugins using script/generate plugin <name> --with-generator *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Removed app/apis as a default empty dir since its automatically created when using script/generate web_service *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added script/plugin to manage plugins (install, remove, list, etc) *Ryan Tomayko*
+
+*   Added test_plugins task: Run the plugin tests in vendor/plugins/**/test (or specify with PLUGIN=name) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Added plugin generator to create a stub structure for a new plugin in vendor/plugins (see "script/generate plugin" for help) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
+
+*   Fixed scaffold generator when started with only 1 parameter #2609 *self@mattmower.com*
+
+*   rake should run functional tests even if the unit tests have failures *Jim Weirich*
+
+*   Back off cleanpath to be symlink friendly. Closes #2533 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Load rake task files in alphabetical order so you can build dependencies and count on them #2554 *Blair Zajac*
+
+
+## 0.14.2 (RC3) (October 26th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Constants set in the development/test/production environment file are set in Object
+
+*   Scaffold generator pays attention to the controller name.  #2562 *self@mattmower.com*
+
+*   Include tasks from vendor/plugins/*/tasks in the Rakefile #2545 *Rick Olson*
+
+
+## 0.14.1 (RC2) (October 19th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Don't clean RAILS_ROOT on windows
+
+*   Remove trailing '/' from RAILS_ROOT *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.12.1 and Action Pack 1.10.1
+
+
+## 0.14.0 (RC1) (October 16th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Moved generator folder from RAILS_ROOT/generators to RAILS_ROOT/lib/generators *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Fix rake dev and related commands *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   The rails command tries to deduce your MySQL socket by running `mysql_config
+    --socket`.  If it fails, default to /path/to/your/mysql.sock
+
+*   Made the rails command use the application name for database names in the tailored database.yml file. Example: "rails ~/projects/blog" will use "blog_development" instead of "rails_development". *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Added Rails framework freezing tasks: freeze_gems (freeze to current gems), freeze_edge (freeze to Rails SVN trunk), unfreeze_rails (float with newest gems on system)
+
+*   Added update_javascripts task which will fetch all the latest js files from your current rails install. Use after updating rails. *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added cleaning of RAILS_ROOT to useless elements such as '../non-dot-dot/'. Provides cleaner backtraces and error messages. *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Made the instantiated/transactional fixtures settings be controlled through Rails::Initializer. Transactional and non-instantiated fixtures are default from now on. *Florian Weber*
+
+*   Support using different database adapters for development and test with ActiveRecord::Base.schema_format = :ruby *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Make webrick work with session(:off)
+
+*   Add --version, -v option to the Rails command. Closes #1840. *stancell*
+
+*   Update Prototype to V1.4.0_pre11, script.aculo.us to V1.5_rc3 [2504] and fix the rails generator to include the new .js files *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Make the generator skip a file if it already exists and is identical to the new file.
+
+*   Add experimental plugin support #2335
+
+*   Made Rakefile aware of new .js files in script.aculo.us *Thomas Fuchs*
+
+*   Make table_name and controller_name in generators honor AR::Base.pluralize_table_names. #1216 #2213 *kazuhiko@fdiary.net*
+
+*   Clearly label functional and unit tests in rake stats output.  #2297 *lasse.koskela@gmail.com*
+
+*   Make the migration generator only check files ending in *.rb when calculating the next file name #2317 *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Added prevention of duplicate migrations from the generator #2240 *François Beausoleil*
+
+*   Add db_schema_dump and db_schema_import rake tasks to work with the new ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper (for dumping a schema to and reading a schema from a ruby file).
+
+*   Reformed all the config/environments/* files to conform to the new Rails::Configuration approach. Fully backwards compatible.
+
+*   Added create_sessions_table, drop_sessions_table, and purge_sessions_table as rake tasks for databases that supports migrations (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) to get a table for use with CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore
+
+*   Added dump of schema version to the db_structure_dump task for databases that support migrations #1835 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed script/profiler for Ruby 1.8.2 #1863 *Rick Olson*
+
+*   Fixed clone_structure_to_test task for SQLite #1864 *jon@burningbush.us*
+
+*   Added -m/--mime-types option to the WEBrick server, so you can specify a Apache-style mime.types file to load #2059 *ask@develooper.com*
+
+*   Added -c/--svn option to the generator that'll add new files and remove destroyed files using svn add/revert/remove as appropriate #2064 *Kevin Clark*
+
+*   Added -c/--charset option to WEBrick server, so you can specify a default charset (which without changes is UTF-8) #2084 *wejn@box.cz*
+
+*   Make the default stats task extendable by modifying the STATS_DIRECTORIES constant
+
+*   Allow the selected environment to define RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER, and have Rails::Initializer use it if it exists.
+
+*   Moved all the shared tasks from Rakefile into Rails, so that the Rakefile is empty and doesn't require updating.
+
+*   Added Rails::Initializer and Rails::Configuration to abstract all of the common setup out of config/environment.rb (uses config/boot.rb to bootstrap the initializer and paths)
+
+*   Fixed the scaffold generator to fail right away if the database isn't accessible instead of in mid-air #1169 *Chad Fowler*
+
+*   Corrected project-local generator location in scripts.rb #2010 *Michael Schuerig*
+
+*   Don't require the environment just to clear the logs #2093 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Make the default rakefile read *.rake files from config/tasks (for easy extension of the rakefile by e.g. generators)
+
+*   Only load breakpoint in development mode and when BREAKPOINT_SERVER_PORT is defined.
+
+*   Allow the --toggle-spin switch on process/reaper to be negated
+
+*   Replace render_partial with render :partial in scaffold generator *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added -w flag to ps in process/reaper #1934 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Allow ERb in the database.yml file (just like with fixtures), so you can pull out the database configuration in environment variables #1822 *Duane Johnson*
+
+*   Added convenience controls for FCGI processes (especially when managed remotely): spinner, spawner, and reaper. They reside in script/process. More details can be had by calling them with -h/--help.
+
+*   Added load_fixtures task to the Rakefile, which will load all the fixtures into the database for the current environment #1791 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added an empty robots.txt to public/, so that web servers asking for it won't trigger a dynamic call, like favicon.ico #1738 *Michael Schubert*
+
+*   Dropped the 'immediate close-down' of FCGI processes since it didn't work consistently and produced bad responses when it didn't. So now a TERM ensures exit after the next request (just as if the process is handling a request when it receives the signal). This means that you'll have to 'nudge' all FCGI processes with a request in order to ensure that they have all reloaded. This can be done by something like ./script/process/repear --nudge 'http://www.myapp.com' --instances 10, which will load the myapp site 10 times (and thus hit all of the 10 FCGI processes once, enough to shut down).
+
+
+## 0.13.1 (11 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Look for app-specific generators in RAILS_ROOT/generators rather than the clunky old RAILS_ROOT/script/generators.  Nobody really uses this feature except for the unit tests, so it's a negligible-impact change.  If you want to work with third-party generators, drop them in ~/.rails/generators or simply install gems.
+
+*   Fixed that each request with the WEBrick adapter would open a new database connection #1685 *Sam Stephenson*
+
+*   Added support for SQL Server in the database rake tasks #1652 [Ken Barker] Note: osql and scptxfr may need to be installed on your development environment. This involves getting the .exes and a .rll (scptxfr) from a production SQL Server (not developer level SQL Server). Add their location to your Environment PATH and you are all set.
+
+*   Added a VERSION parameter to the migrate task that allows you to do "rake migrate VERSION=34" to migrate to the 34th version traveling up or down depending on the current version
+
+*   Extend Ruby version check to include RUBY_RELEASE_DATE >= '2005-12-25', the final Ruby 1.8.2 release #1674 *court3nay*
+
+*   Improved documentation for environment config files #1625 *court3nay*
+
+
+## 0.13.0 (6 July, 2005) ##
+
+*   Changed the default logging level in config/environment.rb to INFO for production (so SQL statements won't be logged)
+
+*   Added migration generator: ./script/generate migration add_system_settings
+
+*   Added "migrate" as rake task to execute all the pending migrations from db/migrate
+
+*   Fixed that model generator would make fixtures plural, even if ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names was false #1185 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Added a DOCTYPE of HTML transitional to the HTML files generated by Rails #1124 *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   SIGTERM also gracefully exits dispatch.fcgi.  Ignore SIGUSR1 on Windows.
+
+*   Add the option to manually manage garbage collection in the FastCGI dispatcher.  Set the number of requests between GC runs in your public/dispatch.fcgi *Stefan Kaes*
+
+*   Allow dynamic application reloading for dispatch.fcgi processes by sending a SIGHUP. If the process is currently handling a request, the request will be allowed to complete first. This allows production fcgi's to be reloaded without having to restart them.
+
+*   RailsFCGIHandler (dispatch.fcgi) no longer tries to explicitly flush $stdout (CgiProcess#out always calls flush)
+
+*   Fixed rakefile actions against PostgreSQL when the password is all numeric #1462 *Michael Schubert*
+
+*   ActionMailer::Base subclasses are reloaded with the other rails components #1262
+
+*   Made the WEBrick adapter not use a mutex around action performance if ActionController::Base.allow_concurrency is true (default is false)
+
+*   Fixed that mailer generator generated fixtures/plural while units expected fixtures/singular #1457 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Added a 'whiny nil' that's aim to ensure that when users pass nil to methods where that isn't appropriate, instead of NoMethodError? and the name of some method used by the framework users will see a message explaining what type of object was expected. Only active in test and development environments by default #1209 *Michael Koziarski*
+
+*   Fixed the test_helper.rb to be safe for requiring controllers from multiple spots, like app/controllers/article_controller.rb and app/controllers/admin/article_controller.rb, without reloading the environment twice #1390 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed Webrick to escape + characters in URL's the same way that lighttpd and apache do #1397 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added -e/--environment option to script/runner #1408 *François Beausoleil*
+
+*   Modernize the scaffold generator to use the simplified render and test methods and to change style from @params["id"] to params[:id].  #1367
+
+*   Added graceful exit from pressing CTRL-C during the run of the rails command #1150 *Caleb Tennis*
+
+*   Allow graceful exits for dispatch.fcgi processes by sending a SIGUSR1. If the process is currently handling a request, the request will be allowed to complete and then will terminate itself. If a request is not being handled, the process is terminated immediately (via #exit). This basically works like restart graceful on Apache. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Made dispatch.fcgi more robust by catching fluke errors and retrying unless its a permanent condition. *Jamis Buck*
+
+*   Added console --profile for profiling an IRB session #1154 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Changed console_sandbox into console --sandbox #1154 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+
+## 0.12.1 (20th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.10.1, Action Pack 1.8.1, Action Mailer 0.9.1, Action Web Service 0.7.1
+
+
+## 0.12.0 (19th April, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed that purge_test_database would use database settings from the development environment when recreating the test database #1122 *rails@cogentdude.com*
+
+*   Added script/benchmarker to easily benchmark one or more statement a number of times from within the environment. Examples:
+
+        # runs the one statement 10 times
+        script/benchmarker 10 'Person.expensive_method(10)'
+
+        # pits the two statements against each other with 50 runs each
+        script/benchmarker 50 'Person.expensive_method(10)' 'Person.cheap_method(10)'
+
+*   Added script/profiler to easily profile a single statement from within the environment. Examples:
+
+        script/profiler 'Person.expensive_method(10)'
+        script/profiler 'Person.expensive_method(10)' 10 # runs the statement 10 times
+
+*   Added Rake target clear_logs that'll truncate all the *.log files in log/ to zero #1079 *Lucas Carlson*
+
+*   Added lazy typing for generate, such that ./script/generate cn == ./script/generate controller and the likes #1051 *k@v2studio.com*
+
+*   Fixed that ownership is brought over in pg_dump during tests for PostgreSQL #1060 *pburleson*
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.10.0, Action Pack 1.8.0, Action Mailer 0.9.0, Action Web Service 0.7.0, Active Support 1.0.4
+
+
+## 0.11.1 (27th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed the dispatch.fcgi use of a logger
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.9.1, Action Pack 1.7.0, Action Mailer 0.8.1, Action Web Service 0.6.2, Active Support 1.0.3
+
+
+## 0.11.0 (22th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Removed SCRIPT_NAME from the WEBrick environment to prevent conflicts with PATH_INFO #896 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Removed ?$1 from the dispatch.f/cgi redirect line to get rid of 'complete/path/from/request.html' => nil being in the @params now that the ENV["REQUEST_URI"] is used to determine the path #895 *dblack/Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Added additional error handling to the FastCGI dispatcher to catch even errors taking down the entire process
+
+*   Improved the generated scaffold code a lot to take advantage of recent Rails developments #882 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Combined the script/environment.rb used for gems and regular files version. If vendor/rails/* has all the frameworks, then files version is used, otherwise gems #878 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Changed .htaccess to allow dispatch.* to be called from a sub-directory as part of the push with Action Pack to make Rails work on non-vhost setups #826 *Nicholas Seckar/Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added script/runner which can be used to run code inside the environment by eval'ing the first parameter. Examples:
+
+        ./script/runner 'ReminderService.deliver'
+        ./script/runner 'Mailer.receive(STDIN.read)'
+
+    This makes it easier to do CRON and postfix scripts without actually making a script just to trigger 1 line of code.
+
+*   Fixed webrick_server cookie handling to allow multiple cookes to be set at once #800, #813 *dave@cherryville.org*
+
+*   Fixed the Rakefile's interaction with postgresql to:
+
+        1. Use PGPASSWORD and PGHOST in the environment to fix prompting for
+           passwords when connecting to a remote db and local socket connections.
+        2. Add a '-x' flag to pg_dump which stops it dumping privileges #807 [rasputnik]
+        3. Quote the user name and use template0 when dumping so the functions doesn't get dumped too #855 [pburleson]
+        4. Use the port if available #875 [madrobby]
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.9.0, Action Pack 1.6.0, Action Mailer 0.8.0, Action Web Service 0.6.1, Active Support 1.0.2
+
+
+## 0.10.1 (7th March, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed rake stats to ignore editor backup files like model.rb~ #791 *Sebastian Kanthak*
+
+*   Added exception shallowing if the DRb server can't be started (not worth making a fuss about to distract new users) #779 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added an empty favicon.ico file to the public directory of new applications (so the logs are not spammed by its absence)
+
+*   Fixed that scaffold generator new template should use local variable instead of instance variable #778 *Dan Peterson*
+
+*   Allow unit tests to run on a remote server for PostgreSQL #781 *adamm@galacticasoftware.com*
+
+*   Added web_service generator (run ./script/generate web_service for help) #776 *Leon Bredt*
+
+*   Added app/apis and components to code statistics report #729 *Scott Barron*
+
+*   Fixed WEBrick server to use ABSOLUTE_RAILS_ROOT instead of working_directory #687 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Fixed rails_generator to be usable without RubyGems #686 *Cristi BALAN*
+
+*   Fixed -h/--help for generate and destroy generators #331
+
+*   Added begin/rescue around the FCGI dispatcher so no uncaught exceptions can bubble up to kill the process (logs to log/fastcgi.crash.log)
+
+*   Fixed that association#count would produce invalid sql when called sequentialy #659 *kanis@comcard.de*
+
+*   Fixed test/mocks/testing to the correct test/mocks/test #740
+
+*   Added early failure if the Ruby version isn't 1.8.2 or above #735
+
+*   Removed the obsolete -i/--index option from the WEBrick servlet #743
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.8.0, Action Pack 1.5.1, Action Mailer 0.7.1, Action Web Service 0.6.0, Active Support 1.0.1
+
+
+## 0.10.0 (24th February, 2005) ##
+
+*   Changed default IP binding for WEBrick from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 so that the server is accessible both locally and remotely #696 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed that script/server -d was broken so daemon mode couldn't be used #687 *Nicholas Seckar*
+
+*   Upgraded to breakpoint 92 which fixes:
+
+        * overload IRB.parse_opts(), fixes #443
+          => breakpoints in tests work even when running them via rake
+        * untaint handlers, might fix an issue discussed on the Rails ML
+        * added verbose mode to breakpoint_client
+        * less noise caused by breakpoint_client by default
+        * ignored TerminateLineInput exception in signal handler
+          => quiet exit on Ctrl-C
+
+*   Added support for independent components residing in /components. Example:
+
+        Controller: components/list/items_controller.rb
+        (holds a List::ItemsController class with uses_component_template_root called)
+
+        Model     : components/list/item.rb
+        (namespace is still shared, so an Item model in app/models will take precedence)
+
+        Views     : components/list/items/show.rhtml
+
+
+*   Added --sandbox option to script/console that'll roll back all changes made to the database when you quit #672 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added 'recent' as a rake target that'll run tests for files that changed in the last 10 minutes #612 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Changed script/console to default to development environment and drop --no-inspect #650 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added that the 'fixture :posts' syntax can be used for has_and_belongs_to_many fixtures where a model doesn't exist #572 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added that running test_units and test_functional now performs the clone_structure_to_test as well #566 *rasputnik*
+
+*   Added new generator framework that informs about its doings on generation and enables updating and destruction of generated artifacts. See the new script/destroy and script/update for more details #487 *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added Action Web Service as a new add-on framework for Action Pack *Leon Bredt*
+
+*   Added Active Support as an independent utility and standard library extension bundle
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.7.0, Action Pack 1.5.0, Action Mailer 0.7.0
+
+
+## 0.9.5 (January 25th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Fixed dependency reloading by switching to a remove_const approach where all Active Records, Active Record Observers, and Action Controllers are reloading by undefining their classes. This enables you to remove methods in all three types and see the change reflected immediately and it fixes #539. This also means that only those three types of classes will benefit from the const_missing and reloading approach. If you want other classes (like some in lib/) to reload, you must use require_dependency to do it.
+
+*   Added Florian Gross' latest version of Breakpointer and friends that fixes a variaty of bugs #441 *Florian Gross*
+
+*   Fixed skeleton Rakefile to work with sqlite3 out of the box #521 *rasputnik*
+
+*   Fixed that script/breakpointer didn't get the Ruby path rewritten as the other scripts #523 *brandt@kurowski.net*
+
+*   Fixed handling of syntax errors in models that had already been succesfully required once in the current interpreter
+
+*   Fixed that models that weren't referenced in associations weren't being reloaded in the development mode by reinstating the reload
+
+*   Fixed that generate scaffold would produce bad functional tests
+
+*   Fixed that FCGI can also display SyntaxErrors
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.6.0, Action Pack 1.4.0
+
+
+## 0.9.4.1 (January 18th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added 5-second timeout to WordNet alternatives on creating reserved-word models #501 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed binding of caller #496 *Alexey*
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.5.1, Action Pack 1.3.1, Action Mailer 0.6.1
+
+
+## 0.9.4 (January 17th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added that ApplicationController will catch a ControllerNotFound exception if someone attempts to access a url pointing to an unexisting controller *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Flipped code-to-test ratio around to be more readable #468 *Scott Baron*
+
+*   Fixed log file permissions to be 666 instead of 777 (so they're not executable) #471 *Lucas Carlson*
+
+*   Fixed that auto reloading would some times not work or would reload the models twice #475 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Added rewrite rules to deal with caching to public/.htaccess
+
+*   Added the option to specify a controller name to "generate scaffold" and made the default controller name the plural form of the model.
+
+*   Added that rake clone_structure_to_test, db_structure_dump, and purge_test_database tasks now pick up the source database to use from
+    RAILS_ENV instead of just forcing development #424 *Tobias Lütke*
+
+*   Fixed script/console to work with Windows (that requires the use of irb.bat) #418 *Chris McGrath*
+
+*   Fixed WEBrick servlet slowdown over time by restricting the load path reloading to mod_ruby
+
+*   Removed Fancy Indexing as a default option on the WEBrick servlet as it made it harder to use various caching schemes
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.5, Action Pack 1.3, Action Mailer 0.6
+
+
+## 0.9.3 (January 4th, 2005) ##
+
+*   Added support for SQLite in the auto-dumping/importing of schemas for development -> test #416
+
+*   Added automated rewriting of the shebang lines on installs through the gem rails command #379 *Manfred Stienstra*
+
+*   Added ActionMailer::Base.deliver_method = :test to the test environment so that mail objects are available in ActionMailer::Base.deliveries
+    for functional testing.
+
+*   Added protection for creating a model through the generators with a name of an existing class, like Thread or Date.
+    It'll even offer you a synonym using wordnet.princeton.edu as a look-up. No, I'm not kidding :) *Florian Gross*
+
+*   Fixed dependency management to happen in a unified fashion for Active Record and Action Pack using the new Dependencies module. This means that
+    the environment options needs to change from:
+
+        Before in development.rb:
+          ActionController::Base.reload_dependencies = true  
+          ActiveRecord::Base.reload_associations     = true
+
+        Now in development.rb:
+          Dependencies.mechanism = :load
+
+        Before in production.rb and test.rb:
+          ActionController::Base.reload_dependencies = false
+          ActiveRecord::Base.reload_associations     = false
+
+        Now in production.rb and test.rb:
+          Dependencies.mechanism = :require
+
+*   Fixed problems with dependency caching and controller hierarchies on Ruby 1.8.2 in development mode #351
+
+*   Fixed that generated action_mailers doesnt need to require the action_mailer since thats already done in the environment #382 *Lucas Carlson*
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 1.2.0 and Active Record 1.4.0
+
+
+## 0.9.2 ##
+
+*   Fixed CTRL-C exists from the Breakpointer to be a clean affair without error dumping *Kent Sibilev*
+
+*   Fixed "rake stats" to work with sub-directories in models and controllers and to report the code to test ration *Scott Baron*
+
+*   Added that Active Record associations are now reloaded instead of cleared to work with the new const_missing hook in Active Record.
+
+*   Added graceful handling of an inaccessible log file by redirecting output to STDERR with a warning #330 *rainmkr*
+
+*   Added support for a -h/--help parameter in the generator #331 *Ulysses*
+
+*   Fixed that File.expand_path in config/environment.rb would fail when dealing with symlinked public directories *mjobin*
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 1.1.0 and Active Record 1.3.0
+
+
+## 0.9.1 ##
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 1.0.1 for important bug fix
+
+*   Updated gem dependencies
+
+
+## 0.9.0 ##
+
+*   Renamed public/dispatch.servlet to script/server -- it wasn't really dispatching anyway as its delegating calls to public/dispatch.rb
+
+*   Renamed AbstractApplicationController and abstract_application.rb to ApplicationController and application.rb, so that it will be possible
+    for the framework to automatically pick up on app/views/layouts/application.rhtml and app/helpers/application.rb
+
+*   Added script/console that makes it even easier to start an IRB session for interacting with the domain model. Run with no-args to
+    see help.
+
+*   Added breakpoint support through the script/breakpointer client. This means that you can break out of execution at any point in
+    the code, investigate and change the model, AND then resume execution! Example:
+
+        class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+          def index
+            @posts = Post.find_all
+            breakpoint "Breaking out from the list"
+          end
+        end
+
+    So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you with a IRB prompt in the breakpointer window.
+    Here you can do things like:
+
+    Executing breakpoint "Breaking out from the list" at .../webrick_server.rb:16 in 'breakpoint'
+
+        >> @posts.inspect
+        => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8 @attributes={\"title\"=>nil, \"body\"=>nil, \"id\"=>\"1\"}>,
+             #<Post:0x14a6620 @attributes={\"title\"=>\"Rails you know!\", \"body\"=>\"Only ten..\", \"id\"=>\"2\"}>]"
+        >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a breakpoint"
+        => "hello from a breakpoint"
+
+    ...and even better is that you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
+
+        >> f = @posts.first
+        => #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
+        >> f.
+        Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
+
+    Finally, when you're ready to resume execution, you press CTRL-D
+
+*   Changed environments to be configurable through an environment variable. By default, the environment is "development", but you
+    can change that and set your own by configuring the Apache vhost with a string like (mod_env must be available on the server):
+
+        SetEnv RAILS_ENV production
+
+    ...if you're using WEBrick, you can pick the environment to use with the command-line parameters -e/--environment, like this:
+
+        ruby public/dispatcher.servlet -e production
+
+*   Added a new default environment called "development", which leaves the production environment to be tuned exclusively for that.
+
+*   Added a start_server in the root of the Rails application to make it even easier to get started
+
+*   Fixed public/.htaccess to use RewriteBase and share the same rewrite rules for all the dispatch methods
+
+*   Fixed webrick_server to handle requests in a serialized manner (the Rails reloading infrastructure is not thread-safe)
+
+*   Added support for controllers in directories. So you can have:
+
+        app/controllers/account_controller.rb        # URL: /account/
+        app/controllers/admin/account_controller.rb  # URL: /admin/account/
+
+    NOTE: You need to update your public/.htaccess with the new rules to pick it up
+
+*   Added reloading for associations and dependencies under cached environments like FastCGI and mod_ruby. This makes it possible to use
+    those environments for development. This is turned on by default, but can be turned off with
+    ActiveRecord::Base.reload_associations = false and ActionController::Base.reload_dependencies = false in production environments.
+
+*   Added support for sub-directories in app/models. So now you can have something like Basecamp with:
+
+        app/models/accounting
+        app/models/project
+        app/models/participants
+        app/models/settings
+
+    It's poor man's namespacing, but only for file-system organization. You still require files just like before.
+    Nothing changes inside the files themselves.
+
+
+*   Fixed a few references in the tests generated by new_mailer *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added support for mocks in testing with test/mocks
+
+*   Cleaned up the environments a bit and added global constant RAILS_ROOT
+
+
+## 0.8.5 (9) ##
+
+*   Made dev-util available to all tests, so you can insert breakpoints in any test case to get an IRB prompt at that point [Jeremy Kemper]:
+
+        def test_complex_stuff
+          @david.projects << @new_project
+          breakpoint "Let's have a closer look at @david"
+        end
+
+    You need to install dev-utils yourself for this to work ("gem install dev-util").
+
+*   Added shared generator behavior so future upgrades should be possible without manually copying over files *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added the new helper style to both controller and helper templates *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added new_crud generator for creating a model and controller at the same time with explicit scaffolding *Jeremy Kemper*
+
+*   Added configuration of Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path to test_helper to concide with the new AR fixtures style
+
+*   Fixed that new_model was generating singular table/fixture names
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Mailer 0.4.0
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 0.9.5
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.1.0
+
+
+## 0.8.0 (15) ##
+
+*   Removed custom_table_name option for new_model now that the Inflector is as powerful as it is
+
+*   Changed the default rake action to just do testing and separate API generation and coding statistics into a "doc" task.
+
+*   Fixed WEBrick dispatcher to handle missing slashes in the URLs gracefully *alexey*
+
+*   Added user option for all postgresql tool calls in the rakefile *elvstone*
+
+*   Fixed problem with running "ruby public/dispatch.servlet" instead of "cd public; ruby dispatch.servlet" *alexey*
+
+*   Fixed WEBrick server so that it no longer hardcodes the ruby interpreter used to "ruby" but will get the one used based
+    on the Ruby runtime configuration. *Marcel Molina Jr.*
+
+*   Fixed Dispatcher so it'll route requests to magic_beans to MagicBeansController/magic_beans_controller.rb *Caio Chassot*
+
+*   "new_controller MagicBeans" and "new_model SubscriptionPayments" will now both behave properly as they use the new Inflector.
+
+*   Fixed problem with MySQL foreign key constraint checks in Rake :clone_production_structure_to_test target *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Changed WEBrick server to by default be auto-reloading, which is slower but makes source changes instant.
+    Class compilation cache can be turned on with "-c" or "--cache-classes".
+
+*   Added "-b/--binding" option to WEBrick dispatcher to bind the server to a specific IP address (default: 127.0.0.1) *Kevin Temp*
+
+*   dispatch.fcgi now DOESN'T set FCGI_PURE_RUBY as it was slowing things down for now reason *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Added new_mailer generator to work with Action Mailer
+
+*   Included new framework: Action Mailer 0.3
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 0.9.0
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 1.0.0
+
+
+## 0.7.0 ##
+
+*   Added an optional second argument to the new_model script that allows the programmer to specify the table name,
+    which will used to generate a custom table_name method in the model and will also be used in the creation of fixtures.
+    *Kevin Radloff*
+
+*   script/new_model now turns AccountHolder into account_holder instead of accountholder *Kevin Radloff*
+
+*   Fixed the faulty handleing of static files with WEBrick *Andreas Schwarz*
+
+*   Unified function_test_helper and unit_test_helper into test_helper
+
+*   Fixed bug with the automated production => test database dropping on PostgreSQL *dhawkins*
+
+*   create_fixtures in both the functional and unit test helper now turns off the log during fixture generation
+    and can generate more than one fixture at a time. Which makes it possible for assignments like:
+
+        @people, @projects, @project_access, @companies, @accounts =
+          create_fixtures "people", "projects", "project_access", "companies", "accounts"
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 0.8.5 (locally-scoped variables, partials, advanced send_file)
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.5 (better table_name guessing, cloning, find_all_in_collection)
+
+
+## 0.6.5 ##
+
+*   No longer specifies a template for rdoc, so it'll use whatever is default (you can change it in the rakefile)
+
+*   The new_model generator will now use the same rules for plural wordings as Active Record
+    (so Category will give categories, not categorys) *Kevin Radloff*
+
+*   dispatch.fcgi now sets FCGI_PURE_RUBY to true to ensure that it's the Ruby version that's loaded *danp*
+
+*   Made the GEM work with Windows
+
+*   Fixed bug where mod_ruby would "forget" the load paths added when switching between controllers
+
+*   PostgreSQL are now supported for the automated production => test database dropping *Kevin Radloff*
+
+*   Errors thrown by the dispatcher are now properly handled in FCGI.
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 0.8.0 (lots and lots and lots of fixes)
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.4 (a bunch of fixes)
+
+
+## 0.6.0 ##
+
+*   Added AbstractionApplicationController as a superclass for all controllers generated. This class can be used
+    to carry filters and methods that are to be shared by all. It has an accompanying ApplicationHelper that all
+    controllers will also automatically have available.
+
+*   Added environments that can be included from any script to get the full Active Record and Action Controller
+    context running. This can be used by maintenance scripts or to interact with the model through IRB. Example:
+
+        require 'config/environments/production'
+
+        for account in Account.find_all
+          account.recalculate_interests
+        end
+
+    A short migration script for an account model that had it's interest calculation strategy changed.
+
+*   Accessing the index of a controller with "/weblog" will now redirect to "/weblog/" (only on Apache, not WEBrick)
+
+*   Simplified the default Apache config so even remote requests are served off CGI as a default.
+    You'll now have to do something specific to activate mod_ruby and FCGI (like using the force urls).
+    This should make it easier for new comers that start on an external server.
+
+*   Added more of the necessary Apache options to .htaccess to make it easier to setup
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.9 (lots of fixes)
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.3 (lots of fixes)
+
+
+## 0.5.7 ##
+
+*   Fixed bug in the WEBrick dispatcher that prevented it from getting parameters from the URL
+    (through GET requests or otherwise)
+
+*   Added lib in root as a place to store app specific libraries
+
+*   Added lib and vendor to load_path, so anything store within can be loaded directly.
+    Hence lib/redcloth.rb can be loaded with require "redcloth"
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.8 (lots of fixes)
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.2 (minor upgrade)
+
+
+## 0.5.6 ##
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.7 (multipart form fix)
+
+*   Updated the generated template stubs to valid XHTML files
+
+*   Ensure that controllers generated are capitalized, so "new_controller TodoLists"
+    gives the same as "new_controller Todolists" and "new_controller todolists".
+
+
+## 0.5.5 ##
+
+*   Works on Windows out of the box! (Dropped symlinks)
+
+*   Added webrick dispatcher: Try "ruby public/dispatch.servlet --help" *Florian Gross*
+
+*   Report errors about initialization to browser (instead of attempting to use uninitialized logger)
+
+*   Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.6
+
+*   Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.1
+
+*   Added distinct 500.html instead of reusing 404.html
+
+*   Added MIT license
+
+
+## 0.5.0 ##
+
+*   First public release

+h2. Ruby on Rails 3.2 Release Notes
+
+Highlights in Rails 3.2:
+
+* Faster Development Mode
+* New Routing Engine
+* Automatic Query Explains
+* Tagged Logging
+
+These release notes cover the major changes, but do not include each bug-fix and changes. If you want to see everything, check out the "list of commits":https://github.com/rails/rails/commits/3-2-stable in the main Rails repository on GitHub.
+
+endprologue.
+
+h3. Upgrading to Rails 3.2
+
+If you're upgrading an existing application, it's a great idea to have good test coverage before going in. You should also first upgrade to Rails 3.1 in case you haven't and make sure your application still runs as expected before attempting an update to Rails 3.2. Then take heed of the following changes:
+
+h4. Rails 3.2 requires at least Ruby 1.8.7
+
+Rails 3.2 requires Ruby 1.8.7 or higher. Support for all of the previous Ruby versions has been dropped officially and you should upgrade as early as possible. Rails 3.2 is also compatible with Ruby 1.9.2.
+
+TIP: Note that Ruby 1.8.7 p248 and p249 have marshaling bugs that crash Rails. Ruby Enterprise Edition has these fixed since the release of 1.8.7-2010.02. On the 1.9 front, Ruby 1.9.1 is not usable because it outright segfaults, so if you want to use 1.9.x, jump on to 1.9.2 or 1.9.3 for smooth sailing.
+
+h4. What to update in your apps
+
+* Update your Gemfile to depend on
+** <tt>rails = 3.2.0</tt>
+** <tt>sass-rails ~> 3.2.3</tt>
+** <tt>coffee-rails ~> 3.2.1</tt>
+** <tt>uglifier >= 1.0.3</tt>
+
+* Rails 3.2 deprecates <tt>vendor/plugins</tt> and Rails 4.0 will remove them completely. You can start replacing these plugins by extracting them as gems and adding them in your Gemfile. If you choose not to make them gems, you can move them into, say, <tt>lib/my_plugin/*</tt> and add an appropriate initializer in <tt>config/initializers/my_plugin.rb</tt>.
+
+* There are a couple of new configuration changes you'd want to add in <tt>config/environments/development.rb</tt>:
+
+<ruby>
+# Raise exception on mass assignment protection for Active Record models
+config.active_record.mass_assignment_sanitizer = :strict
+
+# Log the query plan for queries taking more than this (works
+# with SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL)
+config.active_record.auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds = 0.5
+</ruby>
+
+The <tt>mass_assignment_sanitizer</tt> config also needs to be added in <tt>config/environments/test.rb</tt>:
+
+<ruby>
+# Raise exception on mass assignment protection for Active Record models
+config.active_record.mass_assignment_sanitizer = :strict
+</ruby>
+
+h3. Creating a Rails 3.2 application
+
+<shell>
+# You should have the 'rails' rubygem installed
+$ rails new myapp
+$ cd myapp
+</shell>
+
+h4. Vendoring Gems
+
+Rails now uses a +Gemfile+ in the application root to determine the gems you require for your application to start. This +Gemfile+ is processed by the "Bundler":https://github.com/carlhuda/bundler gem, which then installs all your dependencies. It can even install all the dependencies locally to your application so that it doesn't depend on the system gems.
+
+More information: "Bundler homepage":http://gembundler.com
+
+h4. Living on the Edge
+
++Bundler+ and +Gemfile+ makes freezing your Rails application easy as pie with the new dedicated +bundle+ command. If you want to bundle straight from the Git repository, you can pass the +--edge+ flag:
+
+<shell>
+$ rails new myapp --edge
+</shell>
+
+If you have a local checkout of the Rails repository and want to generate an application using that, you can pass the +--dev+ flag:
+
+<shell>
+$ ruby /path/to/rails/railties/bin/rails new myapp --dev
+</shell>
+
+h3. Major Features
+
+h4. Faster Development Mode & Routing
+
+Rails 3.2 comes with a development mode that's noticeably faster. Inspired by "Active Reload":https://github.com/paneq/active_reload, Rails reloads classes only when files actually change. The performance gains are dramatic on a larger application. Route recognition also got a bunch faster thanks to the new "Journey":https://github.com/rails/journey engine.
+
+h4. Automatic Query Explains
+
+Rails 3.2 comes with a nice feature that explains queries generated by ARel by defining an +explain+ method in <tt>ActiveRecord::Relation</tt>. For example, you can run something like <tt>puts Person.active.limit(5).explain</tt> and the query ARel produces is explained. This allows to check for the proper indexes and further optimizations.
+
+Queries that take more than half a second to run are *automatically* explained in the development mode. This threshold, of course, can be changed.
+
+h4. Tagged Logging
+
+When running a multi-user, multi-account application, it's a great help to be able to filter the log by who did what. TaggedLogging in Active Support helps in doing exactly that by stamping log lines with subdomains, request ids, and anything else to aid debugging such applications.
+
+h3. Documentation
+
+From Rails 3.2, the Rails guides are available for the Kindle and free Kindle Reading Apps for the iPad, iPhone, Mac, Android, etc.
+
+h3. Railties
+
+* Speed up development by only reloading classes if dependencies files changed. This can be turned off by setting <tt>config.reload_classes_only_on_change</tt> to false.
+
+* New applications get a flag <tt>config.active_record.auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds</tt> in the environments configuration files. With a value of <tt>0.5</tt> in <tt>development.rb</tt> and commented out in <tt>production.rb</tt>. No mention in <tt>test.rb</tt>.
+
+* Added <tt>config.exceptions_app</tt> to set the exceptions application invoked by the +ShowException+ middleware when an exception happens. Defaults to <tt>ActionDispatch::PublicExceptions.new(Rails.public_path)</tt>.
+
+* Added a <tt>DebugExceptions</tt> middleware which contains features extracted from <tt>ShowExceptions</tt> middleware.
+
+* Display mounted engines' routes in <tt>rake routes</tt>.
+
+* Allow to change the loading order of railties with <tt>config.railties_order</tt> like:
+
+<ruby>
+config.railties_order = [Blog::Engine, :main_app, :all]
+</ruby>
+
+* Scaffold returns 204 No Content for API requests without content. This makes scaffold work with jQuery out of the box.
+
+* Update <tt>Rails::Rack::Logger</tt> middleware to apply any tags set in <tt>config.log_tags</tt> to <tt>ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging</tt>. This makes it easy to tag log lines with debug information like subdomain and request id -- both very helpful in debugging multi-user production applications.
+
+* Default options to +rails new+ can be set in <tt>~/.railsrc</tt>. You can specify extra command-line arguments to be used every time 'rails new' runs in the <tt>.railsrc</tt> configuration file in your home directory.
+
+* Add an alias +d+ for +destroy+. This works for engines too.
+
+* Attributes on scaffold and model generators default to string. This allows the following: <tt>rails g scaffold Post title body:text author</tt>
+
+* Allow scaffold/model/migration generators to accept "index" and "uniq" modifiers. For example,
+
+<ruby>
+rails g scaffold Post title:string:index author:uniq price:decimal{7,2}
+</ruby>
+
+will create indexes for +title+ and +author+ with the latter being an unique index. Some types such as decimal accept custom options. In the example, +price+ will be a decimal column with precision and scale set to 7 and 2 respectively.
+
+* Turn gem has been removed from default Gemfile.
+
+* Remove old plugin generator +rails generate plugin+ in favor of +rails plugin new+ command.
+
+* Remove old <tt>config.paths.app.controller</tt> API in favor of <tt>config.paths["app/controller"]</tt>.
+
+h4(#railties_deprecations). Deprecations
+
+* +Rails::Plugin+ is deprecated and will be removed in Rails 4.0. Instead of adding plugins to +vendor/plugins+ use gems or bundler with path or git dependencies.
+
+h3. Action Mailer
+
+* Upgraded <tt>mail</tt> version to 2.4.0.
+
+* Removed the old Action Mailer API which was deprecated since Rails 3.0.
+
+h3. Action Pack
+
+h4. Action Controller
+
+* Make <tt>ActiveSupport::Benchmarkable</tt> a default module for <tt>ActionController::Base,</tt> so the <tt>#benchmark</tt> method is once again available in the controller context like it used to be.
+
+* Added +:gzip+ option to +caches_page+. The default option can be configured globally using <tt>page_cache_compression</tt>.
+
+* Rails will now use your default layout (such as "layouts/application") when you specify a layout with <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> condition, and those conditions fail.
+
+<ruby>
+class CarsController
+  layout 'single_car', :only => :show
+end
+</ruby>
+
+Rails will use 'layouts/single_car' when a request comes in :show action, and use 'layouts/application' (or 'layouts/cars', if exists) when a request comes in for any other actions.
+
+* form_for is changed to use "#{action}_#{as}" as the css class and id if +:as+ option is provided. Earlier versions used "#{as}_#{action}".
+
+* <tt>ActionController::ParamsWrapper</tt> on ActiveRecord models now only wrap <tt>attr_accessible</tt> attributes if they were set. If not, only the attributes returned by the class method +attribute_names+ will be wrapped. This fixes the wrapping of nested attributes by adding them to +attr_accessible+.
+
+* Log "Filter chain halted as CALLBACKNAME rendered or redirected" every time a before callback halts.
+
+* <tt>ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions</tt> is refactored. The controller is responsible for choosing to show exceptions. It's possible to override +show_detailed_exceptions?+ in controllers to specify which requests should provide debugging information on errors.
+
+* Responders now return 204 No Content for API requests without a response body (as in the new scaffold).
+
+* <tt>ActionController::TestCase</tt> cookies is refactored. Assigning cookies for test cases should now use <tt>cookies[]</tt>
+
+<ruby>
+cookies[:email] = 'user@example.com'
+get :index
+assert_equal 'user@example.com', cookies[:email]
+</ruby>
+
+To clear the cookies, use +clear+.
+
+<ruby>
+cookies.clear
+get :index
+assert_nil cookies[:email]
+</ruby>
+
+We now no longer write out HTTP_COOKIE and the cookie jar is persistent between requests so if you need to manipulate the environment for your test you need to do it before the cookie jar is created.
+
+* <tt>send_file</tt> now guesses the MIME type from the file extension if +:type+ is not provided.
+
+* MIME type entries for PDF, ZIP and other formats were added.
+
+* Allow fresh_when/stale? to take a record instead of an options hash.
+
+* Changed log level of warning for missing CSRF token from <tt>:debug</tt> to <tt>:warn</tt>.
+
+* Assets should use the request protocol by default or default to relative if no request is available.
+
+h5(#actioncontroller_deprecations). Deprecations
+
+* Deprecated implied layout lookup in controllers whose parent had a explicit layout set:
+
+<ruby>
+class ApplicationController
+  layout "application"
+end
+
+class PostsController < ApplicationController
+end
+</ruby>
+
+In the example above, Posts controller will no longer automatically look up for a posts layout. If you need this functionality you could either remove <tt>layout "application"</tt> from +ApplicationController+ or explicitly set it to +nil+ in +PostsController+.
+
+* Deprecated <tt>ActionController::UnknownAction</tt> in favour of <tt>AbstractController::ActionNotFound</tt>.
+
+* Deprecated <tt>ActionController::DoubleRenderError</tt> in favour of <tt>AbstractController::DoubleRenderError</tt>.
+
+* Deprecated <tt>method_missing</tt> in favour of +action_missing+ for missing actions.
+
+* Deprecated <tt>ActionController#rescue_action</tt>, <tt>ActionController#initialize_template_class</tt> and <tt>ActionController#assign_shortcuts</tt>.
+
+h4. Action Dispatch
+
+* Add <tt>config.action_dispatch.default_charset</tt> to configure default charset for <tt>ActionDispatch::Response</tt>.
+
+* Added <tt>ActionDispatch::RequestId</tt> middleware that'll make a unique X-Request-Id header available to the response and enables the <tt>ActionDispatch::Request#uuid</tt> method. This makes it easy to trace requests from end-to-end in the stack and to identify individual requests in mixed logs like Syslog.
+
+* The <tt>ShowExceptions</tt> middleware now accepts a exceptions application that is responsible to render an exception when the application fails. The application is invoked with a copy of the exception in +env["action_dispatch.exception"]+ and with the <tt>PATH_INFO</tt> rewritten to the status code.
+
+* Allow rescue responses to be configured through a railtie as in <tt>config.action_dispatch.rescue_responses</tt>.
+
+h5(#actiondispatch_deprecations). Deprecations
+
+* Deprecated the ability to set a default charset at the controller level, use the new <tt>config.action_dispatch.default_charset</tt> instead.
+
+h4. Action View
+
+* Add +button_tag+ support to <tt>ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder</tt>. This support mimics the default behavior of +submit_tag+.
+
+<ruby>
+<%= form_for @post do |f| %>
+  <%= f.button %>
+<% end %>
+</ruby>
+
+* Date helpers accept a new option <tt>:use_two_digit_numbers => true</tt>, that renders select boxes for months and days with a leading zero without changing the respective values. For example, this is useful for displaying ISO 8601-style dates such as '2011-08-01'.
+
+* You can provide a namespace for your form to ensure uniqueness of id attributes on form elements. The namespace attribute will be prefixed with underscore on the generated HTML id.
+
+<ruby>
+<%= form_for(@offer, :namespace => 'namespace') do |f| %>
+  <%= f.label :version, 'Version' %>:
+  <%= f.text_field :version %>
+<% end %>
+</ruby>
+
+* Limit the number of options for +select_year+ to 1000. Pass +:max_years_allowed+ option to set your own limit.
+
+* +content_tag_for+ and +div_for+ can now take a collection of records. It will also yield the record as the first argument if you set a receiving argument in your block. So instead of having to do this:
+
+<ruby>
+@items.each do |item|
+  content_tag_for(:li, item) do
+     Title: <%= item.title %>
+  end
+end
+</ruby>
+
+You can do this:
+
+<ruby>
+content_tag_for(:li, @items) do |item|
+  Title: <%= item.title %>
+end
+</ruby>
+
+* Added +font_path+ helper method that computes the path to a font asset in <tt>public/fonts</tt>.
+
+h5(#actionview_deprecations). Deprecations
+
+* Passing formats or handlers to render :template and friends like <tt>render :template => "foo.html.erb"</tt> is deprecated. Instead, you can provide :handlers and :formats directly as an options: <tt> render :template => "foo", :formats => [:html, :js], :handlers => :erb</tt>.
+
+h4. Sprockets
+
+* Adds a configuration option <tt>config.assets.logger</tt> to control Sprockets logging. Set it to +false+ to turn off logging and to +nil+ to default to +Rails.logger+.
+
+h3. Active Record
+
+* Boolean columns with 'on' and 'ON' values are type cast to true.
+
+* When the +timestamps+ method creates the +created_at+ and +updated_at+ columns, it makes them non-nullable by default.
+
+* Implemented <tt>ActiveRecord::Relation#explain</tt>.
+
+* Implements <tt>AR::Base.silence_auto_explain</tt> which allows the user to selectively disable automatic EXPLAINs within a block.
+
+* Implements automatic EXPLAIN logging for slow queries. A new configuration parameter +config.active_record.auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds+ determines what's to be considered a slow query. Setting that to nil disables this feature. Defaults are 0.5 in development mode, and nil in test and production modes. Rails 3.2 supports this feature in SQLite, MySQL (mysql2 adapter), and PostgreSQL.
+
+* Added <tt>ActiveRecord::Base.store</tt> for declaring simple single-column key/value stores.
+
+<ruby>
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+  store :settings, accessors: [ :color, :homepage ]
+end
+
+u = User.new(color: 'black', homepage: '37signals.com')
+u.color                          # Accessor stored attribute
+u.settings[:country] = 'Denmark' # Any attribute, even if not specified with an accessor
+</ruby>
+
+* Added ability to run migrations only for a given scope, which allows to run migrations only from one engine (for example to revert changes from an engine that need to be removed).
+
+<ruby>
+rake db:migrate SCOPE=blog
+</ruby>
+
+* Migrations copied from engines are now scoped with engine's name, for example <tt>01_create_posts.blog.rb</tt>.
+
+* Implemented <tt>ActiveRecord::Relation#pluck</tt> method that returns an array of column values directly from the underlying table. This also works with serialized attributes.
+
+<ruby>
+Client.where(:active => true).pluck(:id)
+# SELECT id from clients where active = 1
+</ruby>
+
+* Generated association methods are created within a separate module to allow overriding and composition. For a class named MyModel, the module is named <tt>MyModel::GeneratedFeatureMethods</tt>. It is included into the model class immediately after the +generated_attributes_methods+ module defined in Active Model, so association methods override attribute methods of the same name.
+
+* Add <tt>ActiveRecord::Relation#uniq</tt> for generating unique queries.
+
+<ruby>
+Client.select('DISTINCT name')
+</ruby>
+
+..can be written as:
+
+<ruby>
+Client.select(:name).uniq
+</ruby>
+
+This also allows you to revert the uniqueness in a relation:
+
+<ruby>
+Client.select(:name).uniq.uniq(false)
+</ruby>
+
+* Support index sort order in SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL adapters.
+
+* Allow the +:class_name+ option for associations to take a symbol in addition to a string. This is to avoid confusing newbies, and to be consistent with the fact that other options like :foreign_key already allow a symbol or a string.
+
+<ruby>
+has_many :clients, :class_name => :Client # Note that the symbol need to be capitalized
+</ruby>
+
+* In development mode, <tt>db:drop</tt> also drops the test database in order to be symmetric with <tt>db:create</tt>.
+
+* Case-insensitive uniqueness validation avoids calling LOWER in MySQL when the column already uses a case-insensitive collation.
+
+* Transactional fixtures enlist all active database connections. You can test models on different connections without disabling transactional fixtures.
+
+* Add +first_or_create+, +first_or_create!+, +first_or_initialize+ methods to Active Record. This is a better approach over the old +find_or_create_by+ dynamic methods because it's clearer which arguments are used to find the record and which are used to create it.
+
+<ruby>
+User.where(:first_name => "Scarlett").first_or_create!(:last_name => "Johansson")
+</ruby>
+
+* Added a <tt>with_lock</tt> method to Active Record objects, which starts a transaction, locks the object (pessimistically) and yields to the block. The method takes one (optional) parameter and passes it to +lock!+.
+
+This makes it possible to write the following:
+
+<ruby>
+class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
+  def cancel!
+    transaction do
+      lock!
+      # ... cancelling logic
+    end
+  end
+end
+</ruby>
+
+as:
+
+<ruby>
+class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
+  def cancel!
+    with_lock do
+      # ... cancelling logic
+    end
+  end
+end
+</ruby>
+
+h4(#activerecord_deprecations). Deprecations
+
+* Automatic closure of connections in threads is deprecated. For example the following code is deprecated:
+
+<ruby>
+Thread.new { Post.find(1) }.join
+</ruby>
+
+It should be changed to close the database connection at the end of the thread:
+
+<ruby>
+Thread.new {
+  Post.find(1)
+  Post.connection.close
+}.join
+</ruby>
+
+Only people who spawn threads in their application code need to worry about this change.
+
+* The +set_table_name+, +set_inheritance_column+, +set_sequence_name+, +set_primary_key+, +set_locking_column+ methods are deprecated. Use an assignment method instead. For example, instead of +set_table_name+, use <tt>self.table_name=</tt>.
+
+<ruby>
+class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
+  self.table_name = "project"
+end
+</ruby>
+
+Or define your own <tt>self.table_name</tt> method:
+
+<ruby>
+class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+  def self.table_name
+    "special_" + super
+  end
+end
+
+Post.table_name # => "special_posts"
+
+</ruby>
+
+h3. Active Model
+
+* Add <tt>ActiveModel::Errors#added?</tt> to check if a specific error has been added.
+
+* Add ability to define strict validations with <tt>strict => true</tt> that always raises exception when fails.
+
+* Provide mass_assignment_sanitizer as an easy API to replace the sanitizer behavior. Also support both :logger (default) and :strict sanitizer behavior.
+
+h4(#activemodel_deprecations). Deprecations
+
+* Deprecated <tt>define_attr_method</tt> in <tt>ActiveModel::AttributeMethods</tt> because this only existed to support methods like +set_table_name+ in Active Record, which are themselves being deprecated.
+
+* Deprecated <tt>Model.model_name.partial_path</tt> in favor of <tt>model.to_partial_path</tt>.
+
+h3. Active Resource
+
+* Redirect responses: 303 See Other and 307 Temporary Redirect now behave like 301 Moved Permanently and 302 Found.
+
+h3. Active Support
+
+* Added <tt>ActiveSupport:TaggedLogging</tt> that can wrap any standard +Logger+ class to provide tagging capabilities.
+
+<ruby>
+Logger = ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging.new(Logger.new(STDOUT))
+
+Logger.tagged("BCX") { Logger.info "Stuff" }
+# Logs "[BCX] Stuff"
+
+Logger.tagged("BCX", "Jason") { Logger.info "Stuff" }
+# Logs "[BCX] [Jason] Stuff"
+
+Logger.tagged("BCX") { Logger.tagged("Jason") { Logger.info "Stuff" } }
+# Logs "[BCX] [Jason] Stuff"
+</ruby>
+
+* The +beginning_of_week+ method in +Date+, +Time+ and +DateTime+ accepts an optional argument representing the day in which the week is assumed to start.
+
+* <tt>ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribed</tt> provides subscriptions to events while a block runs.
+
+* Defined new methods <tt>Module#qualified_const_defined?</tt>, <tt>Module#qualified_const_get</tt> and <tt>Module#qualified_const_set</tt> that are analogous to the corresponding methods in the standard API, but accept qualified constant names.
+
+* Added +#deconstantize+ which complements +#demodulize+ in inflections. This removes the rightmost segment in a qualified constant name.
+
+* Added <tt>safe_constantize</tt> that constantizes a string but returns +nil+ instead of raising an exception if the constant (or part of it) does not exist.
+
+* <tt>ActiveSupport::OrderedHash</tt> is now marked as extractable when using <tt>Array#extract_options!</tt>.
+
+* Added <tt>Array#prepend</tt> as an alias for <tt>Array#unshift</tt> and <tt>Array#append</tt> as an alias for <tt>Array#<<</tt>.
+
+* The definition of a blank string for Ruby 1.9 has been extended to Unicode whitespace. Also, in Ruby 1.8 the ideographic space U+3000 is considered to be whitespace.
+
+* The inflector understands acronyms.
+
+* Added <tt>Time#all_day</tt>, <tt>Time#all_week</tt>, <tt>Time#all_quarter</tt> and <tt>Time#all_year</tt> as a way of generating ranges.
+
+<ruby>
+Event.where(:created_at => Time.now.all_week)
+Event.where(:created_at => Time.now.all_day)
+</ruby>
+
+* Added <tt>instance_accessor: false</tt> as an option to <tt>Class#cattr_accessor</tt> and friends.
+
+* <tt>ActiveSupport::OrderedHash</tt> now has different behavior for <tt>#each</tt> and <tt>#each_pair</tt> when given a block accepting its parameters with a splat.
+
+* Added <tt>ActiveSupport::Cache::NullStore</tt> for use in development and testing.
+
+* Removed <tt>ActiveSupport::SecureRandom</tt> in favor of <tt>SecureRandom</tt> from the standard library.
+
+h4(#activesupport_deprecations). Deprecations
+
+* +ActiveSupport::Base64+ is deprecated in favor of <tt>::Base64</tt>.
+
+* Deprecated <tt>ActiveSupport::Memoizable</tt> in favor of Ruby memoization pattern.
+
+* <tt>Module#synchronize</tt> is deprecated with no replacement. Please use monitor from ruby's standard library.
+
+* Deprecated <tt>ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor#encrypt</tt> and <tt>ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor#decrypt</tt>.
+
+* <tt>ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger#silence</tt> is deprecated. If you want to squelch logs for a certain block, change the log level for that block.
+
+* <tt>ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger#open_log</tt> is deprecated. This method should not have been public in the first place.
+
+* <tt>ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger's</tt> behavior of automatically creating the directory for your log file is deprecated. Please make sure to create the directory for your log file before instantiating.
+
+* <tt>ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger#auto_flushing</tt> is deprecated. Either set the sync level on the underlying file handle like this. Or tune your filesystem. The FS cache is now what controls flushing.
+
+<ruby>
+f = File.open('foo.log', 'w')
+f.sync = true
+ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger.new f
+</ruby>
+
+* <tt>ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger#flush</tt> is deprecated. Set sync on your filehandle, or tune your filesystem.

 Action Controller is the C in MVC. After routing has determined which controller to use for a request, your controller is responsible for making sense of the request and producing the appropriate output. Luckily, Action Controller does most of the groundwork for you and uses smart conventions to make this as straightforward as possible.
 
-For most conventional RESTful applications, the controller will receive the request (this is invisible to you as the developer), fetch or save data from a model and use a view to create HTML output. If your controller needs to do things a little differently, that's not a problem, this is just the most common way for a controller to work.
+For most conventional "RESTful":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer applications, the controller will receive the request (this is invisible to you as the developer), fetch or save data from a model and use a view to create HTML output. If your controller needs to do things a little differently, that's not a problem, this is just the most common way for a controller to work.
 
 A controller can thus be thought of as a middle man between models and views. It makes the model data available to the view so it can display that data to the user, and it saves or updates data from the user to the model.

+
+Active Record is able to run EXPLAIN automatically on slow queries and log its
+output. This feature is controlled by the configuration parameter
+
+<ruby>
+config.active_record.auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds
+</ruby>
+
+If set to a number, any query exceeding those many seconds will have its EXPLAIN
+automatically triggered and logged. In the case of relations, the threshold is
+compared to the total time needed to fetch records. So, a relation is seen as a
+unit of work, no matter whether the implementation of eager loading involves
+several queries under the hood.
+
+A threshold of +nil+ disables automatic EXPLAINs.
+
+The default threshold in development mode is 0.5 seconds, and +nil+ in test and
+production modes.
+
+INFO. Automatic EXPLAIN gets disabled if Active Record has no logger, regardless
+of the value of the threshold.
+
+h5. Disabling Automatic EXPLAIN
+
+Automatic EXPLAIN can be selectively silenced with +ActiveRecord::Base.silence_auto_explain+:
+
+<ruby>
+ActiveRecord::Base.silence_auto_explain do
+  # no automatic EXPLAIN is triggered here
+end
+</ruby>
+
+That may be useful for queries you know are slow but fine, like a heavyweight
+report of an admin interface.
+
+As its name suggests, +silence_auto_explain+ only silences automatic EXPLAINs.
+Explicit calls to +ActiveRecord::Relation#explain+ run.

-The first feature of the pipeline is to concatenate assets. This is important in a production environment, as it reduces the number of requests that a browser must make to render a web page.
+The first feature of the pipeline is to concatenate assets. This is important in a production environment, because it can reduce the number of requests that a browser must make to render a web page. Web browsers are limited in the number of requests that they can make in parallel, so fewer requests can mean faster loading for your application.
 
-While Rails already has a feature to concatenate these types of assets by placing +:cache => true+ at the end of tags such as +javascript_include_tag+ and +stylesheet_link_tag+, it has a series of limitations. For example, it cannot generate the caches in advance, and it is not able to transparently include assets provided by third-party libraries.
+Rails 2.x introduced the ability to concatenate JavaScript and CSS assets by placing +:cache => true+ at the end of the +javascript_include_tag+ and +stylesheet_link_tag+ methods. But this technique has some limitations. For example, it cannot generate the caches in advance, and it is not able to transparently include assets provided by third-party libraries.
 
-The default behavior in Rails 3.1 and onward is to concatenate all files into one master file each for JS and CSS. However, you can separate files or groups of files if required (see below). In production, an MD5 fingerprint is inserted into each filename so that the file is cached by the web browser but can be invalidated if the fingerprint is altered.
+Starting with version 3.1, Rails defaults to concatenating all JavaScript files into one master +.js+ file and all CSS files into one master +.css+ file. As you'll learn later in this guide, you can customize this strategy to group files any way you like. In production, Rails inserts an MD5 fingerprint into each filename so that the file is cached by the web browser. You can invalidate the cache by altering this fingerprint, which happens automatically whenever you change the file contents..
 
-The second feature is to minify or compress assets. For CSS, this usually involves removing whitespace and comments. For JavaScript, more complex processes can be applied. You can choose from a set of built in options or specify your own.

 h4. What is Fingerprinting and Why Should I Care?
 
-Fingerprinting is a technique whereby the filenames of content that is static or infrequently updated are altered to be unique to the content contained in the file.
+Fingerprinting is a technique that makes the name of a file dependent on the contents of the file. When the file contents change, the filename is also changed. For content that is static or infrequently changed, this provides an easy way to tell whether two versions of a file are identical, even across different servers or deployment dates.
 
-When a filename is unique and based on its content, HTTP headers can be set to encourage caches everywhere (at ISPs, in browsers) to keep their own copy of the content. When the content is updated, the fingerprint will change and the remote clients will request the new file. This is generally known as _cache busting_.

When the content is updated, the fingerprint will change. This will cause the remote clients to request a new copy of the content. This is generally known as _cache busting_.
 
-The most effective technique is to insert a hash of the content into the name, usually at the end. For example a CSS file +global.css+ is hashed and the filename is updated to incorporate the digest, for example becoming:

 In previous versions of Rails, all assets were located in subdirectories of +public+ such as +images+, +javascripts+ and +stylesheets+. With the asset pipeline, the preferred location for these assets is now the +app/assets+ directory. Files in this directory are served by the Sprockets middleware included in the sprockets gem.
 
-This is not to say that assets can (or should) no longer be placed in +public+; they still can be and will be served as static files by the application or web server. You would only use +app/assets+ if you wish your files to undergo some pre-processing before they are served.
+Assets can still be placed in the +public+ hierarchy. Any assets under +public+ will be served as static files by the application or web server. You should use +app/assets+ for files that must undergo some pre-processing before they are served.
 
-In production, the default is to precompile these files to +public/assets+ so that they can be more efficiently delivered by the web server.
+In production, Rails precompiles these files to +public/assets+ by default. The precompiled copies are then served as static assets by the web server. The files in +app/assets+ are never served directly in production.
 
-When a scaffold or controller is generated for the application, Rails also generates a JavaScript file (or CoffeeScript file if the +coffee-rails+ gem is in the +Gemfile+) and a Cascading Style Sheet file (or SCSS file if +sass-rails+ is in the +Gemfile+) for that controller.

-For example, if a +ProjectsController+ is generated, there will be a new file at +app/assets/javascripts/projects.js.coffee+ and another at +app/assets/stylesheets/projects.css.scss+. You should put any JavaScript or CSS unique to a controller inside their respective asset files, as these files can then be loaded just for these controllers with lines such as +<%= javascript_include_tag params[:controller] %>+ or +<%= stylesheet_link_tag params[:controller] %>+.

 h4. Asset Organization
 
-Assets can be placed inside an application in one of three locations: +app/assets+, +lib/assets+ or +vendor/assets+.
+Pipeline assets can be placed inside an application in one of three locations: +app/assets+, +lib/assets+ or +vendor/assets+.
 
 +app/assets+ is for assets that are owned by the application, such as custom images, JavaScript files or stylesheets.
 
 +lib/assets+ is for your own libraries' code that doesn't really fit into the scope of the application or those libraries which are shared across applications.
 
-+vendor/assets+ is for assets that are owned by outside entities, such as code for JavaScript plugins.
++vendor/assets+ is for assets that are owned by outside entities, such as code for JavaScript plugins and CSS frameworks.
+
+h5. Search paths
+
+When a file is referenced from a manifest or a helper, Sprockets searches the three default asset locations for it.
+
+The default locations are: +app/assets/images+ and the subdirectories +javascripts+ and +stylesheets+ in all three asset locations.
+
+For example, these files:
+
+<plain>
+app/assets/javascripts/home.js
+lib/assets/javascripts/moovinator.js
+vendor/assets/javascript/slider.js
+</plain>
+
+would be referenced in a manifest like this:
+
+<plain>
+//= require home
+//= require moovinator
+//= require slider
+</plain>
+
+Assets inside subdirectories can also be accessed.
+
+<plain>
+app/assets/javascripts/sub/something.js
+</plain>
+
+is referenced as:
+
+<plain>
+//= require sub/something
+</plain>
 
-All subdirectories that exist within these three locations are added to the search path for Sprockets (visible by calling +Rails.application.config.assets.paths+ in a console). When an asset is requested, these paths are traversed to see if they contain an asset matching the name specified. Once an asset has been found, it's processed by Sprockets and served.
+You can view the search path by inspecting +Rails.application.config.assets.paths+ in the Rails console.
 
-You can add additional (fully qualified) paths to the pipeline in +config/application.rb+. For example:
+Additional (fully qualified) paths can be added to the pipeline in +config/application.rb+. For example:
 
 <ruby>
 config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "flash")
 </ruby>
 
+Paths are traversed in the order that they occur in the search path.
+
+It is important to note that files you want to reference outside a manifest must be added to the precompile array or they will not be available in the production environment.
+
+h5. Using index files
+
+Sprockets uses files named +index+ (with the relevant extensions) for a special purpose.
+
+For example, if you have a jQuery library with many modules, which is stored in +lib/assets/library_name+, the file +lib/assets/library_name/index.js+ serves as the manifest for all files in this library. This file could include a list of all the required files in order, or a simple <tt>require_tree</tt> directive.
+
+The library as a whole can be accessed in the site's application manifest like so:
+
+<plain>
+//= require library_name
+</plain>
+
+This simplifies maintenance and keeps things clean by allowing related code to be grouped before inclusion elsewhere.

 The next step is to make the class that represents a +User+ in the application customizable for the engine. This is because, as explained before, that class may not always be +User+. To make this customizable, the engine will have a configuration setting called +user_class+ that will be used to specify what the class representing users is inside the application.

 There are now no strict dependencies on what the class is, only what the class's API must be. The engine simply requires this class to define a +find_or_create_by_name+ method which returns an object of that class to be associated with a post when it's created.
 
+h5. General engine configuration
+
+Within an engine, there may come a time where you wish to use things such as initializers, internationalization or other configuration options. The great news is that these things are entirely possible because a Rails engine shares much the same functionality as a Rails application. In fact, a Rails application's functionality is actually a superset of what is provided by engines!
+
+If you wish to use initializers (code that should run before the engine is loaded), the best place for them is the +config/initializers+ folder. This directory's functionality is explained in the "Initializers section":http://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#initializers of the Configuring guide.
+
+For locales, simply place the locale files in the +config/locales+ directory, just like you would in an application.

+# Rails Guides on the Kindle
+
+
+## Synopsis
+
+  1. Obtain `kindlegen` from the link below and put the binary in your path
+  2. Run `KINDLE=1 rake generate_guides` to generate the guides and compile the `.mobi` file
+  3. Copy `output/kindle/rails_guides.mobi` to your Kindle
+
+## Resources
+
+  * [StackOverflow: Kindle Periodical Format](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5379565/kindle-periodical-format)
+  * Example Periodical [.ncx](https://gist.github.com/808c971ed087b839d462) and [.opf](https://gist.github.com/d6349aa8488eca2ee6d0)
+  * [Kindle Publishing guidelines](http://kindlegen.s3.amazonaws.com/AmazonKindlePublishingGuidelines.pdf)
+  * [KindleGen & Kindle Previewer](http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000234621) 
+
+## TODO
+
+### Post release
+
+  * Integrate generated Kindle document in to published HTML guides
+  * Tweak heading styles (most docs use h3/h4/h5, which end up being smaller than the text under it)
+  * Tweak table styles (smaller text? Many of the tables are unusable on a Kindle in portrait mode)
+  * Have the HTML/XML TOC 'drill down' into the TOCs of the individual guides
+  * `.epub` generation.
+

 h4. What's in a Name
 
-Migrations are stored in files in +db/migrate+, one for each migration class. The name of the file is of the form +YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_create_products.rb+, that is to say a UTC timestamp identifying the migration followed by an underscore followed by the name of the migration. The name of the migration class (CamelCased version) should match the latter part of the file name. For example +20080906120000_create_products.rb+ should define class +CreateProducts+ and +20080906120001_add_details_to_products.rb+ should define +AddDetailsToProducts+. If you do feel the need to change the file name then you <em>have to</em> update the name of the class inside or Rails will complain about a missing class.
-
-Internally Rails only uses the migration's number (the timestamp) to identify them. Prior to Rails 2.1 the migration number started at 1 and was incremented each time a migration was generated. With multiple developers it was easy for these to clash requiring you to rollback migrations and renumber them. With Rails 2.1 this is largely avoided by using the creation time of the migration to identify them. You can revert to the old numbering scheme by adding the following line to +config/application.rb+.

-For example Alice adds migrations +20080906120000+ and +20080906123000+ and Bob adds +20080906124500+ and runs it. Alice finishes her changes and checks in her migrations and Bob pulls down the latest changes. Rails knows that it has not run Alice's two migrations so +rake db:migrate+ would run them (even though Bob's migration with a later timestamp has been run), and similarly migrating down would not run their +down+ methods.

 h4. Changing Migrations
 
-Occasionally you will make a mistake when writing a migration. If you have already run the migration then you cannot just edit the migration and run the migration again: Rails thinks it has already run the migration and so will do nothing when you run +rake db:migrate+. You must rollback the migration (for example with +rake db:rollback+), edit your migration and then run +rake db:migrate+ to run the corrected version.

-In general editing existing migrations is not a good idea: you will be creating extra work for yourself and your co-workers and cause major headaches if the existing version of the migration has already been run on production machines. Instead, you should write a new migration that performs the changes you require. Editing a freshly generated migration that has not yet been committed to source control (or, more generally, which has not been propagated beyond your development machine) is relatively harmless.

+which creates a +categories_products+ table with two columns called +category_id+ and +product_id+.
+These columns have the option +:null+ set to +false+ by default.
+
+You can pass the option +:table_name+ with you want to customize the table name. For example,
+
+<ruby>
+create_join_table :products, :categories, :table_name => :categorization

 h4. Schema Dumps and Source Control
 
-Because schema dumps are the authoritative source for your database schema, it is strongly recommended that you check them into source control.
+Because schema dumps are the authoritative source for your database schema, it
+is strongly recommended that you check them into source control.
 
 h3. Active Record and Referential Integrity
 
-The Active Record way claims that intelligence belongs in your models, not in the database. As such, features such as triggers or foreign key constraints, which push some of that intelligence back into the database, are not heavily used.
-
-Validations such as +validates :foreign_key, :uniqueness => true+ are one way in which models can enforce data integrity. The +:dependent+ option on associations allows models to automatically destroy child objects when the parent is destroyed. Like anything which operates at the application level, these cannot guarantee referential integrity and so some people augment them with foreign key constraints.
-
-Although Active Record does not provide any tools for working directly with such features, the +execute+ method can be used to execute arbitrary SQL. There are also a number of plugins such as "foreign_key_migrations":https://github.com/harukizaemon/redhillonrails/tree/master/foreign_key_migrations/ which add foreign key support to Active Record (including support for dumping foreign keys in +db/schema.rb+).
