+* Remove column restrictions for `count`, let the database raise if the SQL is
+ invalid. The previos behavior was untested and surprising for the user.
+ Fixes #5554.
+
+ Example:
+
+ User.select("name, username").count
+ # Before => SELECT count(*) FROM users
+ # After => ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid
+
+ # you can still use `count(:all)` to perform a query unrelated to the
+ # selected columns
+ User.select("name, username").count(:all) # => SELECT count(*) FROM users
+
+ *Yves Senn*
+
* Rails now automatically detects inverse associations. If you do not set the
`:inverse_of` option on the association, then Active Record will guess the
inverse association based on heuristics.
