-* Deprecate returning `false` as a way to halt callback chains.
+* Change the way in which callback chains can be halted.
- Returning `false` in a callback will display a deprecation warning
- explaining that the preferred method to halt a callback chain is to
- explicitly `throw(:abort)`.
+ The preferred method to halt a callback chain from now on is to explicitly
+ `throw(:abort)`.
+ In the past, returning `false` in an ActiveSupport callback had the side
+ effect of halting the callback chain. This is not recommended anymore and,
+ depending on the value of
+ `Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false`, will
+ either not work at all or display a deprecation warning.
+
+
+* Add Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false
+
+ Setting `Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false`
+ to true will let an app support the deprecated way of halting callback
+ chains by returning `false`.
+
+ Setting the value to false will tell the app to ignore any `false` value
+ returned by callbacks, and only halt the chain upon `throw(:abort)`.
+
+ The value can also be set with the Rails configuration option
+ `config.active_support.halt_callback_chains_on_return_false`.
+
+ When the configuration option is missing, its value is `true`, so older apps
+ ported to Rails 5.0 will not break (but display a deprecation warning).
+ For new Rails 5.0 apps, its value is set to `false` in an initializer, so
+ these apps will support the new behavior by default.

Chains of callbacks defined with a `:terminator` option will maintain their
