*Rails 3.1.0 (unreleased)*
+* ActiveRecord::Associations::AssociationProxy has been split. There is now an Association class
+ (and subclasses) which are responsible for operating on associations, and then a separate,
+ thin wrapper called CollectionProxy, which proxies collection associations.
+
+ This prevents namespace pollution, separates concerns, and will allow further refactorings.
+
+ Singular associations (has_one, belongs_to) no longer have a proxy at all. They simply return
+ the associated record or nil. This means that you should not use undocumented methods such
+ as bob.mother.create - use bob.create_mother instead.
+

+
+* Make has_many :through associations work correctly when you build a record and then save it. This
+ requires you to set the :inverse_of option on the source reflection on the join model, like so:
+
+ class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+ has_many :taggings
+ has_many :tags, :through => :taggings
+ end
+
+ class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
+ belongs_to :post
+ belongs_to :tag, :inverse_of => :tagging # :inverse_of must be set!
+ end
+
+ class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
+ has_many :taggings
+ has_many :posts, :through => :taggings
+ end
+
+ post = Post.first
+ tag = post.tags.build :name => "ruby"
+ tag.save # will save a Taggable linking to the post
+
+ [Jon Leighton]
+
* Support the :dependent option on has_many :through associations. For historical and practical
reasons, :delete_all is the default deletion strategy employed by association.delete(*records),
despite the fact that the default strategy is :nullify for regular has_many. Also, this only
