+* MailerGenerator now generates layouts by default. HTML mailer layout will
+ include `<html>` and `<body>` tags which will help to reduce spam score in
+ some spam detection engines. Mailers will now inherit from `ApplicationMailer`
+ which sets the default layout.

* `link_to` and `url_for` generate URLs by default in templates, it is no
longer needed to pass `only_path: false`.
