## Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased) ##
+* Allow data attributes to be set as a first-level option for form_for, so you can write `form_for @record, data: { behavior: 'autosave' }` instead of `form_for @record, html: { data: { behavior: 'autosave' } }` *DHH*
+
* Deprecate `button_to_function` and `link_to_function` helpers.
We recommend the use of Unobtrusive JavaScript instead. For example:

+ # === Setting HTML options
+ #
+ # You can set data attributes directly by passing in a data hash, but all other HTML options must be wrapped in
+ # the HTML key. Example:
+ #
+ # <%= form_for(@post, data: { behavior: "autosave" }, html: { name: "go" }) do |f| %>
+ # ...
+ # <% end %>
+ #
+ # The HTML generated for this would be:

+ # <div style='margin:0;padding:0;display:inline'>
+ # <input name='_method' type='hidden' value='put' />

# === Removing hidden model id's
#
# The form_for method automatically includes the model id as a hidden field in the form.
