*kennyj*
+* PostgreSQL inet and cidr types are converted to `IPAddr` objects.
+ *Dan McClain*
+
+* PostgreSQL array type support. Any datatype can be used to create an
+ array column, with full migration and schema dumper support.
+
+ To declare an array column, use the following syntax:
+
+ create_table :table_with_arrays do |t|
+ t.integer :int_array, :array => true
+ # integer[]
+ t.integer :int_array, :array => true, :length => 2
+ # smallint[]
+ t.string :string_array, :array => true, :length => 30
+ # char varying(30)[]
+ end
+
+ This respects any other migraion detail (limits, defaults, etc).
+ ActiveRecord will serialize and deserialize the array columns on
+ their way to and from the database.
+
+ One thing to note: PostgreSQL does not enforce any limits on the
+ number of elements, and any array can be multi-dimensional. Any
+ array that is multi-dimensional must be rectangular (each sub array
+ must have the same number of elements as its siblings).
+
+ If the `pg_array_parser` gem is available, it will be used when
+ parsing PostgreSQL's array representation
+
+ *Dan McClain*
+
* Attribute predicate methods, such as `article.title?`, will now raise
`ActiveModel::MissingAttributeError` if the attribute being queried for
truthiness was not read from the database, instead of just returning false.
