+* Introduce ApplicationRecord, an Active Record layer super type.
+
+ An `ApplicationRecord` let's engines have models, isolated from the main
+ application. Plugin authors can use it to distribute extensions as modules
+ to be included into `ApplicationRecord`, instead of monkey patches. It can
+ also serve as a place for applications to customize the default
+ `ActiveRecord::Base` model behaviour.
+
+ Newly generated applications have `app/models/application_record.rb`
+ present by default. Generators are smart enough to recognize that
+ newly generated models have to inherit from `ApplicationRecord` only if
+ it's present.
+
+ *Genadi Samokovarov*

* Version the API presented to migration classes, so we can change parameter
defaults without breaking existing migrations, or forcing them to be
rewritten through a deprecation cycle.
