    not

    but that tag("p", :ignore => "") still includes it #1465 [michael@schuerig.de] * Fixed that UrlHelper#link_to_unless/link_to_if used html_escape on the name if no link was to be applied.

This means that it's no longer necessary to use the 'model :post' work-around in ApplicationController to have a Post model in your session. *1.9.0* (6 July, 2005) * Added logging of the request URI in the benchmark statement (makes it easy to grep for slow actions) * Added javascript_include_tag :defaults shortcut that'll include all the default javascripts included with Action Pack (prototype, effects, controls, dragdrop) * Cache several controller variables that are expensive to calculate #1229 [skaes@web.de] * The session class backing CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore may be replaced with any class that duck-types with a subset of Active Record.
