    5.5. Associations Respect Private/Protected Scope

    +

    Active Record association proxies now respect the scope of methods on the proxied object. Previously (given User has_one :account) @user.account.private_method would call the private method on the associated Account object. That fails in Rails 2.2; if you need this functionality, you should use @user.account.send(:private_method) (or make the method public instead of private or protected). Please note that if you're overriding method_missing, you should also override respond_to to match the behavior in order for associations to function normally.

    5.6. Other ActiveRecord Changes

    +
    +
    def partial_with_implicit_local_assignment
+  @customer = Customer.new("Marcel")
+  render :partial => "customer"
+end
+
    +

    Previously the above code made available a local variable called customer available inside the partial customer. You should explicitly pass all the variables via :locals hash now.

    +

      country_select has been removed. See the deprecation page for more information and a plugin replacement.
