*Rails 3.1.0 (unreleased)*
+* Migrations can be defined as reversible, meaning that the migration system
+will figure out how to reverse your migration. To use reversible migrations,
+just define the "change" method. For example:
+
+ class MyMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration
+ def change
+ create_table(:horses) do
+ t.column :content, :text
+ t.column :remind_at, :datetime
+ end
+ end
+ end
+
+Some things cannot be automatically reversed for you. If you know how to
+reverse those things, you should define 'up' and 'down' in your migration. If
+you define something in `change` that cannot be reversed, an
+IrreversibleMigration exception will be raised when going down.
+
* Migrations should use instance methods rather than class methods:
class FooMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration
def up
