-## Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased) ##
+## Rails 4.0.0.beta1 (February 25, 2013) ##
+
+* Fix overriding of attributes by default_scope on `ActiveRecord::Base#dup`.
+
+ *Hiroshige UMINO*
+
+* Fix when performing an ordered join query. The bug only
+ affected queries where the order was given with a symbol.
+ Fixes #9275.
+
+ Example:
+
+ # This will expand the order :name to "authors".name.
+ Author.joins(:books).where('books.published = 1').order(:name)
+
+* Fixing issue #8345. Now throwing an error when one attempts to touch a
+ new object that has not yet been persisted. For instance:
+
+ Example:
+
+ ball = Ball.new
+ ball.touch :updated_at # => raises error
+
+ It is not until the ball object has been persisted that it can be touched.
+ This follows the behavior of update_column.
+
+ *John Wang*
+
+* Preloading ordered `has_many :through` associations no longer applies
+ invalid ordering to the `:through` association.
+ Fixes #8663.
+
+ *Yves Senn*
+
+* The auto explain feature has been removed. This feature was
+ activated by configuring `config.active_record.auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds`.
+ The configuration option was deprecated and has no more effect.
+
+ You can still use `ActiveRecord::Relation#explain` to see the EXPLAIN output for
+ any given relation.
+
+ *Yves Senn*
+
+* The `:on` option for `after_commit` and `after_rollback` now
+ accepts an Array of actions.
+ Fixes #988.
+
+ Example:
+
+ after_commit :update_cache on: [:create, :update]
+
+ *Yves Senn*
+
+* Rename related indexes on `rename_table` and `rename_column`. This
+ does not affect indexes with custom names.
+
+ *Yves Senn*
+
+* Prevent the creation of indices with too long names, which cause
+ internal operations to fail (sqlite3 adapter only). The method
+ `allowed_index_name_length` defines the length limit enforced by
+ rails. It's value defaults to `index_name_length` but can vary per adapter.
+ Fixes #8264.
+
+ *Yves Senn*
+
+* Fixing issue #776.
+
+ Memory bloat in transactions is handled by having the transaction hold only
+ the AR objects which it absolutely needs to know about. These are the AR
+ objects with callbacks (they need to be updated as soon as something in the
+ transaction occurs).
+
+ All other AR objects can be updated lazily by keeping a reference to a
+ TransactionState object. If an AR object gets inside a transaction, then
+ the transaction will add its TransactionState to the AR object. When the
+ user makes a call to some attribute on an AR object (which has no
+ callbacks) associated with a transaction, the AR object will call the
+ sync_with_transaction_state method and make sure it is up to date with the
+ transaction. After it has synced with the transaction state, the AR object
+ will return the attribute that was requested.
+
+ Most of the logic in the changes are used to handle multiple transactions,
+ in which case the AR object has to recursively follow parent pointers of
+ TransactionState objects.
+
+ *John Wang*
+
+* Descriptive error message when the necessary AR adapter gem was not found.
+ Fixes #7313.
+
+ *Yves Senn*
+
+* Active Record now raises an error when blank arguments are passed to query
+ methods for which blank arguments do not make sense.
+
+ Example:
+
+ Post.includes() # => raises error
+
+ *John Wang*
+
+* Simplified type casting code for timezone aware attributes to use the
+ `in_time_zone` method if it is available. This introduces a subtle change
+ of behavior when using `Date` instances as they are directly converted to
+ `ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone` instances without first being converted to
+ `Time` instances. For example:
+
+ # Rails 3.2 behavior
+ >> Date.today.to_time.in_time_zone
+ => Wed, 13 Feb 2013 07:00:00 UTC +00:00
+
+ # Rails 4.0 behavior
+ >> Date.today.in_time_zone
+ => Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:00:00 UTC +00:00
+
+ On the plus side it now behaves the same whether you pass a `String` date
+ or an actual `Date` instance. For example:
+
+ # Rails 3.2 behavior
+ >> Date.civil(2013, 2, 13).to_time.in_time_zone
+ => Wed, 13 Feb 2013 07:00:00 UTC +00:00
+ >> Time.zone.parse("2013-02-13")
+ => Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:00:00 UTC +00:00
+
+ # Rails 4.0 behavior
+ >> Date.civil(2013, 2, 13).in_time_zone
+ => Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:00:00 UTC +00:00
+ >> "2013-02-13".in_time_zone
+ => Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:00:00 UTC +00:00
+
+ If you need the old behavior you can convert the dates to times manually.
+ For example:
+
+ >> Post.new(created_at: Date.today).created_at
+ => Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:00:00 UTC +00:00
+
+ >> Post.new(created_at: Date.today.to_time).created_at
+ => Wed, 13 Feb 2013 07:00:00 UTC +00:00
