## Rails 3.2.0 (unreleased) ##
+* 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 %>
+
* 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:
