*2.3.1 [RC2] (February 27th, 2009)*
* Added ActiveRecord::Base.each and ActiveRecord::Base.find_in_batches for batch processing [DHH/Jamis Buck]
* Added that ActiveRecord::Base.exists? can be called with no arguments #1817 [Scott Taylor]
*2.3.0 [RC1] (February 1st, 2009)*
* Add Support for updating deeply nested models from a single form. #1202 [Eloy Duran]
class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :author
has_many :pages
accepts_nested_attributes_for :author, :pages
end
* Make after_save callbacks fire only if the record was successfully saved. #1735 [Michael Lovitt]
Previously the callbacks would fire if a before_save cancelled saving.
* Support nested transactions using database savepoints. #383 [Jonathan Viney, Hongli Lai]
* Added dynamic scopes ala dynamic finders #1648 [Yaroslav Markin]
* Fixed that ActiveRecord::Base#new_record? should return false (not nil) for existing records #1219 [Yaroslav Markin]
* I18n the word separator for error messages. Introduces the activerecord.errors.format.separator translation key. #1294 [Akira Matsuda]
* Add :having as a key to find and the relevant associations. [Emilio Tagua]
* Added default_scope to Base #1381 [Paweł Kondzior]. Example:
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
default_scope :order => 'last_name, first_name'
end
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :people
end
Person.all # => Person.find(:all, :order => 'last_name, first_name')
Company.find(1).people # => Person.find(:all, :order => 'last_name, first_name', :conditions => { :company_id => 1 })
*2.2.1 [RC2] (November 14th, 2008)*
* Ensure indices don't flip order in schema.rb #1266 [Jordi Bunster]
* Fixed that serialized strings should never be type-casted (i.e. turning "Yes" to a boolean) #857 [Andreas Korth]

* Multiparameter attributes skip time zone conversion for time-only columns [#1030 state:resolved] [Geoff Buesing]
* Base.skip_time_zone_conversion_for_attributes uses class_inheritable_accessor, so that subclasses don't overwrite Base [#346 state:resolved] [Emilio Tagua]
* Added find_last_by dynamic finder #762 [Emilio Tagua]
* Internal API: configurable association options and build_association method for reflections so plugins may extend and override. #985 [Hongli Lai (Phusion)]
* Changed benchmarks to be reported in milliseconds [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Connection pooling. #936 [Nick Sieger]
* Merge scoped :joins together instead of overwriting them. May expose scoping bugs in your code! #501 [Andrew White]
* before_save, before_validation and before_destroy callbacks that return false will now ROLLBACK the transaction. Previously this would have been committed before the processing was aborted. #891 [Xavier Noria]
* Transactional migrations for databases which support them. #834 [divoxx, Adam Wiggins, Tarmo Tänav]
* Set config.active_record.timestamped_migrations = false to have migrations with numeric prefix instead of UTC timestamp. #446. [Andrew Stone, Nik Wakelin]
* change_column_default preserves the not-null constraint. #617 [Tarmo Tänav]
* Fixed that create database statements would always include "DEFAULT NULL" (Nick Sieger) [#334]
* Add :tokenizer option to validates_length_of to specify how to split up the attribute string. #507. [David Lowenfels] Example :
# Ensure essay contains at least 100 words.
validates_length_of :essay, :minimum => 100, :too_short => "Your essay must be at least %d words."), :tokenizer => lambda {|str| str.scan(/\w+/) }
* Allow conditions on multiple tables to be specified using hash. [Pratik Naik]. Example:
User.all :joins => :items, :conditions => { :age => 10, :items => { :color => 'black' } }
Item.first :conditions => { :items => { :color => 'red' } }
* Always treat integer :limit as byte length. #420 [Tarmo Tänav]
* Partial updates don't update lock_version if nothing changed. #426 [Daniel Morrison]
* Fix column collision with named_scope and :joins. #46 [Duncan Beevers, Mark Catley]
* db:migrate:down and :up update schema_migrations. #369 [Michael Raidel, RaceCondition]
* PostgreSQL: support :conditions => [':foo::integer', { :foo => 1 }] without treating the ::integer typecast as a bind variable. [Tarmo Tänav]
* MySQL: rename_column preserves column defaults. #466 [Diego Algorta]
* Add :from option to calculations. #397 [Ben Munat]
* Add :validate option to associations to enable/disable the automatic validation of associated models. Resolves #301. [Jan De Poorter]
* PostgreSQL: use 'INSERT ... RETURNING id' for 8.2 and later. [Jeremy Kemper]

* Ensure hm:t preloading honours reflection options. Resolves #137. [Frederick Cheung]
* Added protection against duplicate migration names (Aslak Hellesøy) [#112]
* Base#instantiate_time_object: eliminate check for Time.zone, since we can assume this is set if time_zone_aware_attributes is set to true [Geoff Buesing]
* Time zone aware attribute methods use Time.zone.parse instead of #to_time for String arguments, so that offset information in String is respected. Resolves #105. [Scott Fleckenstein, Geoff Buesing]
* Added change_table for migrations (Jeff Dean) [#71]. Example:
change_table :videos do |t|
t.timestamps # adds created_at, updated_at
t.belongs_to :goat # adds goat_id integer
t.string :name, :email, :limit => 20 # adds name and email both with a 20 char limit
t.remove :name, :email # removes the name and email columns
end
* Fixed has_many :through .create with no parameters caused a "can't dup NilClass" error (Steven Soroka) [#85]
* Added block-setting of attributes for Base.create like Base.new already has (Adam Meehan) [#39]
* Fixed that pessimistic locking you reference the quoted table name (Josh Susser) [#67]
* Fixed that change_column should be able to use :null => true on a field that formerly had false [Nate Wiger] [#26]
* Added that the MySQL adapter should map integer to either smallint, int, or bigint depending on the :limit just like PostgreSQL [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Change validates_uniqueness_of :case_sensitive option default back to true (from [9160]). Love your database columns, don't LOWER them. [Rick Olson]
* Add support for interleaving migrations by storing which migrations have run in the new schema_migrations table. Closes #11493 [Jordi Bunster]
* ActiveRecord::Base#sum defaults to 0 if no rows are returned. Closes #11550 [Kamal Fariz Mahyuddin]
* Ensure that respond_to? considers dynamic finder methods. Closes #11538. [James Mead]
* Ensure that save on parent object fails for invalid has_one association. Closes #10518. [Pratik Naik]
* Remove duplicate code from associations. [Pratik Naik]

* Don't clobber includes passed to has_many.count [Jack Danger Canty]
* Make sure has_many uses :include when counting [Jack Danger Canty]

OLD
belongs_to :visitor, :class_name => 'User' # => inferred foreign_key is user_id
NEW
belongs_to :visitor, :class_name => 'User' # => inferred foreign_key is visitor_id
* Remove spurious tests from deprecated_associations_test, most of these aren't deprecated, and are duplicated in associations_test. Closes #8987 [Pratik Naik]
* Make create! on a has_many :through association return the association object. Not the collection. Closes #8786 [Pratik Naik]
* Move from select * to select tablename.* to avoid clobbering IDs. Closes #8889 [dasil003]

Add your lib directory to the $LOAD_PATH and put your custom adapter in lib/active_record/connection_adapters/adaptername_adapter.rb. This way you can provide custom adapters as plugins or gems without modifying Rails. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Ensure that associations with :dependent => :delete_all respect :conditions option. Closes #8034 [Jack Danger Canty, Josh Peek, Rick Olson]

t.column "creator_id", :integer
t.column "name", :string, :default => "Untitled"
t.column "value", :string, :default => "Untitled"

t.integer :shop_id, :creator_id
t.string :name, :value, :default => "Untitled"
t.timestamps
end

* Base.update_all :order and :limit options. Useful for MySQL updates that must be ordered to avoid violating unique constraints. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Remove deprecated object transactions. People relying on this functionality should install the object_transactions plugin at http://code.bitsweat.net/svn/object_transactions. Closes #5637 [Michael Koziarski, Jeremy Kemper]
* PostgreSQL: remove DateTime -> Time downcast. Warning: do not enable translate_results for the C bindings if you have timestamps outside Time's domain. [Jeremy Kemper]
* find_or_create_by_* takes a hash so you can create with more attributes than are in the method name. For example, Person.find_or_create_by_name(:name => 'Henry', :comments => 'Hi new user!') is equivalent to Person.find_by_name('Henry') || Person.create(:name => 'Henry', :comments => 'Hi new user!'). #7368 [Josh Susser]
* Make sure with_scope takes both :select and :joins into account when setting :readonly. Allows you to save records you retrieve using method_missing on a has_many :through associations. [Michael Koziarski]

transaction do |transaction|
david.withdrawal(100)
mary.deposit(100)
transaction.rollback! # rolls back the transaction that was otherwise going to be successful
end
* Made increment_counter/decrement_counter play nicely with optimistic locking, and added a more general update_counters method [Jamis Buck]
* Reworked David's query cache to be available as Model.cache {...}. For the duration of the block no select query should be run more then once. Any inserts/deletes/executes will flush the whole cache however [Tobias Lütke]
Task.cache { Task.find(1); Task.find(1) } #=> 1 query
* When dealing with SQLite3, use the table_info pragma helper, so that the bindings can do some translation for when sqlite3 breaks incompatibly between point releases. [Jamis Buck]

* MySQL: blob and text columns may not have defaults in 5.x. Update fixtures schema for strict mode. #6695 [Dan Kubb]
* update_all can take a Hash argument. sanitize_sql splits into two methods for conditions and assignment since NULL values and delimiters are handled differently. #6583, #7365 [sandofsky, Assaf]
* MySQL: SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL=0 so 'where id is null' doesn't select the last inserted id. #6778 [Jonathan Viney, timc]
* Use Date#to_s(:db) for quoted dates. #7411 [Michael Schoen]

* SQLServer: handle [quoted] table names. #6635 [rrich]
* acts_as_nested_set works with single-table inheritance. #6030 [Josh Susser]
* PostgreSQL, Oracle: correctly perform eager finds with :limit and :order. #4668, #7021 [eventualbuddha, Michael Schoen]
* Pass a range in :conditions to use the SQL BETWEEN operator. #6974 [Dan Manges]
Student.find(:all, :conditions => { :grade => 9..12 })

* Oracle: fix connection reset failure. #6846 [leonlleslie]
* Subclass instantiation doesn't try to explicitly require the corresponding subclass. #6840 [leei, Jeremy Kemper]
* fix faulty inheritance tests and that eager loading grabs the wrong inheritance column when the class of your association is an STI subclass. Closes #6859 [protocool]
* Consolidated different create and create! versions to call through to the base class with scope. This fixes inconsistencies, especially related to protected attribtues. Closes #5847 [Alexander Dymo, Tobias Lütke]
* find supports :lock with :include. Check whether your database allows SELECT ... FOR UPDATE with outer joins before using. #6764 [vitaly, Jeremy Kemper]
* Add AssociationCollection#create! to be consistent with AssociationCollection#create when dealing with a foreign key that is a protected attribute [Cody Fauser]
* Added counter optimization for AssociationCollection#any? so person.friends.any? won't actually load the full association if we have the count in a cheaper form [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Change fixture_path to a class inheritable accessor allowing test cases to have their own custom set of fixtures. #6672 [Zach Dennis]
* Quote ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars. #6653 [Julian Tarkhanov]
* Simplify query_attribute by typecasting the attribute value and checking whether it's nil, false, zero or blank. #6659 [Jonathan Viney]
* validates_numericality_of uses \A \Z to ensure the entire string matches rather than ^ $ which may match one valid line of a multiline string. #5716 [Andreas Schwarz]
* Run validations in the order they were declared. #6657 [obrie]
* MySQL: detect when a NOT NULL column without a default value is misreported as default ''. Can't detect for string, text, and binary columns since '' is a legitimate default. #6156 [simon@redhillconsulting.com.au, obrie, Jonathan Viney, Jeremy Kemper]
* Simplify association proxy implementation by factoring construct_scope out of method_missing. #6643 [martin]
* Oracle: automatically detect the primary key. #6594 [vesaria, Michael Schoen]

find(:all, :conditions => { :topic_id => [1, 2, 3], :last_read => nil }
* Consistently use LOWER() for uniqueness validations (rather than mixing with UPPER()) so the database can always use a functional index on the lowercased column. #6495 [Si]
* SQLite: fix calculations workaround, remove count(distinct) query rewrite, cleanup test connection scripts. [Jeremy Kemper]
* SQLite: count(distinct) queries supported in >= 3.2.6. #6544 [Bob Silva]

* MySQL: introduce Mysql::Result#all_hashes to support further optimization. #5581 [Stefan Kaes]
* save! shouldn't validate twice. #6324 [maiha, Bob Silva]

* Add deprecation warning for inferred foreign key. #6029 [Josh Susser]
* Fixed the Ruby/MySQL adapter we ship with Active Record to work with the new authentication handshake that was introduced in MySQL 4.1, along with the other protocol changes made at that time #5723 [jimw@mysql.com]
* Deprecation: use :dependent => :delete_all rather than :exclusively_dependent => true. #6024 [Josh Susser]
* Document validates_presences_of behavior with booleans: you probably want validates_inclusion_of :attr, :in => [true, false]. #2253 [Bob Silva]

* Tighten rescue clauses. #5985 [james@grayproductions.net]
* Fix spurious newlines and spaces in AR::Base#to_xml output [Jamis Buck]
* has_one supports the :dependent => :delete option which skips the typical callback chain and deletes the associated object directly from the database. #5927 [Chris Mear, Jonathan Viney]
* Nested subclasses are not prefixed with the parent class' table_name since they should always use the base class' table_name. #5911 [Jonathan Viney]

* to_xml: correct naming of included associations. #5831 [Josh Starcher]
* Pushing a record onto a has_many :through sets the association's foreign key to the associate's primary key and adds it to the correct association. #5815, #5829 [Josh Susser]
* Add records to has_many :through using <<, push, and concat by creating the association record. Raise if base or associate are new records since both ids are required to create the association. #build raises since you can't associate an unsaved record. #create! takes an attributes hash and creates the associated record and its association in a transaction.
