+### CSRF protection from remote `<script>` tags

+Or, "whaaat my tests are failing!!!?"
+
+Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection now covers GET requests with
+JavaScript responses, too. That prevents a third-party site from referencing
+your JavaScript URL and attempting to run it to extract sensitive data.
+
+This means that your functional and integration tests that use
+
+```ruby
+get :index, format: :js
+```
+
+will now trigger CSRF protection. Switch to
+
+```ruby
+xhr :get, :index, format: :js
+```
+
+to explicitly test an XmlHttpRequest.
+
+If you really mean to load JavaScript from remote `<script>` tags, skip CSRF
+protection on that action.
