## Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased) ##
+* Deprecate `button_to_function` and `link_to_function` helpers.
+
+ We recommend the use of Unobtrusive JavaScript instead. For example:
+
+ link_to "Greeting", "#", :class => "nav_link"
+
+ $(function() {
+ $('.nav_link').click(function() {
+ // Some complex code
+
+ return false;
+ });
+ });
+
+ or
+
+ link_to "Greeting", '#', onclick: "alert('Hello world!'); return false", class: "nav_link"
+
+ for simple cases.
+
+ *Rafael Mendonça França*
+
* `javascript_include_tag :all` will now not include `application.js` if the file does not exists. *Prem Sichanugrist*
* Send an empty response body when call `head` with status between 100 and 199, 204, 205 or 304.
