+* 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.
+
+ Note that automatic inverse detection only works on `has_many`, `has_one`,
+ and `belongs_to` associations. Extra options on the associations will
+ also prevent the association's inverse from being found automatically.
+
+ The automatic guessing of the inverse association uses a heuristic based
+ on the name of the class, so it may not work for all associations,
+ especially the ones with non-standard names.
+
+ You can turn off the automatic detection of inverse associations by setting
+ the `:inverse_of` option to `false` like so:
+
+ class Taggable < ActiveRecord::Base
+ belongs_to :tag, inverse_of: false
+ end

* Fix `add_column` with `array` option when using PostgreSQL. Fixes #10432
