*Rails 3.2.0 (unreleased)*
* Safe strings no longer respond to sub, sub!, gsub, or gsub!. See issue #1555. [Damien Mathieu]
* ActiveSupport::OrderedHash is now marked as extractable when using Array#extract_options! [Prem Sichanugrist]
* Added Array#prepend as an alias for Array#unshift and Array#append as an alias for Array#<< [DHH]
* The definition of blank string for Ruby 1.9 has been extended to Unicode whitespace.
Also, in 1.8 the ideographic space U+3000 is considered to be whitespace. [Akira Matsuda, Damien Mathieu]
* The inflector understands acronyms. [dlee]
* Deprecated ActiveSupport::Memoizable in favor of Ruby memoization pattern [José Valim]
* Added Time#all_day/week/quarter/year as a way of generating ranges (example: Event.where(created_at: Time.now.all_week)) [DHH]
* Added instance_accessor: false as an option to Class#cattr_accessor and friends [DHH]
* Removed ActiveSupport::SecureRandom in favor of SecureRandom from the standard library [Jon Leighton]
* ActiveSupport::OrderedHash now has different behavior for #each and
#each_pair when given a block accepting its parameters with a splat. [Andrew Radev]
*Rails 3.1.0 (unreleased)*
* ActiveSupport::Dependencies#load and ActiveSupport::Dependencies#require now
return the value from `super` [Aaron Patterson]
* Fixed ActiveSupport::Gzip to work properly in Ruby 1.8 [Guillermo Iguaran]
* Kernel.require_library_or_gem was deprecated and will be removed in Rails 3.2.0 [Josh Kalderimis]
* ActiveSupport::Duration#duplicable? was fixed for Ruby 1.8 [thedarkone]
* ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger set log encoding to BINARY, but still use text
mode to output portable newlines. [fxn]
* ActiveSupport::Dependencies now raises NameError if it finds an existing constant in load_missing_constant. This better reflects the nature of the error which is usually caused by calling constantize on a nested constant. [Andrew White]
* Deprecated ActiveSupport::SecureRandom in favour of SecureRandom from the standard library [Jon Leighton]
* New reporting method Kernel#quietly. [fxn]
* Add String#inquiry as a convenience method for turning a string into a StringInquirer object [DHH]
* Add Object#in? to test if an object is included in another object [Prem Sichanugrist, Brian Morearty, John Reitano]
* LocalCache strategy is now a real middleware class, not an anonymous class
posing for pictures.
* ActiveSupport::Dependencies::ClassCache class has been introduced for
holding references to reloadable classes.
* ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Reference has been refactored to take direct
advantage of the new ClassCache.
* Backports Range#cover? as an alias for Range#include? in Ruby 1.8 [Diego Carrion, fxn]

* Added before_remove_const callback to ActiveSupport::Dependencies.remove_unloadable_constants! [Andrew White]
* JSON decoding now uses the multi_json gem which also vendors a json engine called OkJson. The yaml backend has been removed in favor of OkJson as a default engine for 1.8.x, while the built in 1.9.x json implementation will be used by default. [Josh Kalderimis]
*Rails 3.0.7 (April 18, 2011)*
* Hash.from_xml no longer loses attributes on tags containing only whitespace [André Arko]
*Rails 3.0.6 (April 5, 2011)

* No changes.
*Rails 3.0.3 (November 16, 2010)*
* No changes.
*Rails 3.0.2 (November 15, 2010)*
* Added before_remove_const callback to ActiveSupport::Dependencies.remove_unloadable_constants! [Andrew White]
*Rails 3.0.1 (October 15, 2010)*
* No Changes, just a version bump.
*Rails 3.0.0 (August 29, 2010)*
* Implemented String#strip_heredoc. [fxn]
* Pluggable cache stores: setting config.cache_store = "custom_store" will require 'active_support/cache/custom_store' and look for the CustomStore constant. #5486 [Mike Perham]
* Removed Object#returning, Object#tap should be used instead. [Santiago Pastorino]
* Deprecation behavior is no longer hardcoded to the name of the environment.
Instead, it is set via config.active_support.deprecation and can be one
of :log, :stderr or :notify. :notify is a new style that sends the warning
via ActiveSupport::Notifications, and is the new default for production
[Yehuda Katz]
* Renamed ActiveSupport::Dependecies.load_(once_)paths to autoload_(once_)paths. [fxn]
* Added ActiveSupport::FileUpdateChecker to execute a block only if a set of files changed, used by Router and I18n locale files. [José Valim]
* Added ActiveSupport::DescendantsTracker to track descendants with support to constants reloading. [José Valim]
* ActiveSupport::OrderedHash#merge and #merge! accept a block. #4838 [Paul Mucur, fxn]
* Date#since, #ago, #beginning_of_day, #end_of_day, and #xmlschema honor now the user time zone if set. [Geoff Buesing]
* Extracted String#truncate from TextHelper#truncate [DHH]
* Ruby 1.9: support UTF-8 case folding. #4595 [Norman Clarke]
* Removes Array#rand and backports Array#sample from Ruby 1.9, thanks to Marc-Andre Lafortune. [fxn]
* Ruby 1.9: Renames last_(month|year) to prev_(month|year) in Date and Time. [fxn]
* Aliases Date#sunday to Date#end_of_week. [fxn]
* Backports Date#>> from 1.9 so that calculations do the right thing around the calendar reform. [fxn]
* Date#to_time handles properly years in the range 0..138. [fxn]
* Deprecate {{}} as interpolation syntax for I18n in favor of %{} [José Valim]
* Array#to_xml is more powerful and able to handle the same types as Hash#to_xml #4490 [Neeraj Singh]
* Harmonize the caching API and refactor the backends. #4452 [Brian Durand]
All caches:
* Add default options to initializer that will be sent to all read, write, fetch, exist?, increment, and decrement
* Add support for the :expires_in option to fetch and write for all caches. Cache entries are stored with the create timestamp and a ttl so that expiration can be handled independently of the implementation.
* Add support for a :namespace option. This can be used to set a global prefix for cache entries.
* Deprecate expand_cache_key on ActiveSupport::Cache and move it to ActionController::Caching and ActionDispatch::Http::Cache since the logic in the method used some Rails specific environment variables and was only used by ActionPack classes. Not very DRY but there didn't seem to be a good shared spot and ActiveSupport really shouldn't be Rails specific.
* Add support for :race_condition_ttl to fetch. This setting can prevent race conditions on fetch calls where several processes try to regenerate a recently expired entry at once.
* Add support for :compress option to fetch and write which will compress any data over a configurable threshold.
* Nil values can now be stored in the cache and are distinct from cache misses for fetch.
* Easier API to create new implementations. Just need to implement the methods read_entry, write_entry, and delete_entry instead of overwriting existing methods.
* Since all cache implementations support storing objects, update the docs to state that ActiveCache::Cache::Store implementations should store objects. Keys, however, must be strings since some implementations require that.
* Increase test coverage.
* Document methods which are provided as convenience but which may not be universally available.
MemoryStore:
* MemoryStore can now safely be used as the cache for single server sites.
* Make thread safe so that the default cache implementation used by Rails is thread safe. The overhead is minimal and it is still the fastest store available.
* Provide :size initialization option indicating the maximum size of the cache in memory (defaults to 32Mb).
* Add prune logic that removes the least recently used cache entries to keep the cache size from exceeding the max.
* Deprecated SynchronizedMemoryStore since it isn't needed anymore.
FileStore:
* Escape key values so they will work as file names on all file systems, be consistent, and case sensitive
* Use a hash algorithm to segment the cache into sub directories so that a large cache doesn't exceed file system limits.
* FileStore can be slow so implement the LocalCache strategy to cache reads for the duration of a request.
* Add cleanup method to keep the disk from filling up with expired entries.
* Fix increment and decrement to use file system locks so they are consistent between processes.
MemCacheStore:
* Support all keys. Previously keys with spaces in them would fail
* Deprecate CompressedMemCacheStore since it isn't needed anymore (use :compress => true)
* JSON: encode objects that don't have a native JSON representation using to_hash, if available, instead of instance_values (the old fallback) or to_s (other encoders' default). Encode BigDecimal and Regexp encode as strings to conform with other encoders. Try to transcode non-UTF-8 strings. [Jeremy Kemper]
* HashWithIndifferentAccess: remove inherited symbolize_keys! since its keys are always strings. [Santiago Pastorino]
* Improve transliteration quality. #4374 [Norman Clarke]
* Speed up and add Ruby 1.9 support for ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars#tidy_bytes. #4350 [Norman Clarke]
* Reduced load time by deferring configuration of classes using
ActiveSupport::on_load(:component_name) [YK]
* Rename #metaclass to #singleton_class now that ruby-core has decided [JK]
* New assertions assert_blank and assert_present. #4299 [Juanjo Bazan]
* Use Object#singleton_class instead of #metaclass. Prefer Ruby's choice. [Jeremy Kemper]
* JSON backend for YAJL. Preferred if available. #2666 [Brian Lopez]
* Introduce class_attribute to declare inheritable class attributes. Writing an attribute on a subclass behaves just like overriding the superclass reader method. Unifies and replaces most usage of cattr_accessor, class_inheritable_attribute, superclass_delegating_attribute, and extlib_inheritable_attribute. [Jeremy Kemper, Yehuda Katz]
* Time#- with a DateTime argument behaves the same as with a Time argument, i.e. returns the difference between self and arg as a Float #3476 [Geoff Buesing]
* YAML serialization for OrderedHash. #3608 [Gregor Schmidt]
* Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.16 [Geoff Buesing]
* Georgetown TimeZone is now mapped to "America/Guyana" instead of "America/Argentina/San_Juan" #1821 [Geoff Buesing, Reuben Sivan]

* Add Enumerable#exclude? to bring parity to Enumerable#include? and avoid if !x.include?/else calls [DHH]
* Update Edinburgh TimeZone to use "Europe/London" instead of "Europe/Dublin" #3310 [Phil Ross]
* Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.15 [Geoff Buesing]
* JSON: +Object#to_json+ calls +as_json+ to coerce itself into something natively encodable like +Hash+, +Integer+, or +String+. Override +as_json+ instead of +to_json+ so you're JSON library agnostic. [Jeremy Kemper]
* String #to_time and #to_datetime: handle fractional seconds #864 [Jason Frey]
* Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.13 [Geoff Buesing]
* Allow MemCacheStore to be initialized with a MemCache-like object instead of addresses and options [Bryan Helmkamp]
* Change spelling of Kyev timezone to Kyiv #2613 [Alexander Dymo]
* Add ActiveSupport.parse_json_times to disable time parsing in JSON backends that don't support it or don't need it. [rick]
* Add pluggable JSON backends with support for the JSON gem. [rick]
Example: ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
All internal Rails JSON encoding is now handled by ActiveSupport::JSON.encode(). Use of #to_json is not recommended, as it may clash with other libraries that overwrite it. However, you can recover Rails specific functionality
if you really want to use #to_json.
gem 'json'
ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
class ActiveRecord::Base
alias to_json rails_to_json
end
* require 'active_support' no longer orders the whole menu of core extensions. Ask for just what you need: e.g. require 'active_support/core/time' to use timezones, durations, and stdlib date/time extensions. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Removed rarely-used DRb cache store. [Jeremy Kemper]
* TimeWithZone.name returns 'Time', to further thwart type checking [Geoff Buesing]

* Ruby 1.9.1p0 fix: URI.unescape can decode multibyte chars. #2033 [MOROHASHI Kyosuke]
* Time#to_s(:rfc822) uses #formatted_offset instead of unreliable and non-standard %z directive #1899 [Zachary Zolton]
* Make TimeWithZone#to_formatted_s an alias to TimeWithZone#to_s #1796 [Levin Alexander]
* Introduce Array.wrap(foo) to wrap the argument in an array unless it's already an array. Wraps nil as an empty array. Use instead of Array(foo) and foo.to_a since they treat String as Enumerable. [Jeremy Kemper]
* TimeWithZone#xmlschema accepts optional fraction_digits argument [#1725 state:resolved] [Nicholas Dainty]
* Object#tap shim for Ruby < 1.8.7. Similar to Object#returning, tap yields self then returns self. [Jeremy Kemper]
array.select { ... }.tap(&:inspect).map { ... }
* TimeWithZone#- gives correct result with wrapped DateTime, and with DateTime argument [Geoff Buesing]
* Updated i18n gem to version 0.1.1 #1635 [Yaroslav Markin]

* Add ActiveSupport::Rescuable module abstracting ActionController::Base rescue_from features. [Norbert Crombach, Pratik Naik]
* Switch from String#chars to String#mb_chars for the unicode proxy. [Manfred Stienstra]
This helps with 1.8.7 compatibility and also improves performance for some operations by reducing indirection.
* TimeWithZone #wday, #yday and #to_date avoid trip through #method_missing [Geoff Buesing]
* Added Time, Date, DateTime and TimeWithZone #past?, #future? and #today? #720 [Clemens Kofler, Geoff Buesing]

* Changed cache benchmarking to be reported in milliseconds [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Fix Ruby's Time marshaling bug in pre-1.9 versions of Ruby: utc instances are now correctly unmarshaled with a utc zone instead of the system local zone [#900 state:resolved] [Luca Guidi, Geoff Buesing]
* Add Array#in_groups which splits or iterates over the array in specified number of groups. #579. [Adrian Mugnolo] Example:
a = (1..10).to_a
a.in_groups(3) # => [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, nil], [8, 9, 10, nil]]
a.in_groups(3, false) # => [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7], [8, 9, 10]]

* Added Memoizable mixin for caching simple lazy loaded attributes [Josh Peek]
* Move the test related core_ext stuff out of core_ext so it's only loaded by the test helpers. [Michael Koziarski]

ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
inflect.human(/_cnt$/i, '\1_count')
end
'jargon_cnt'.humanize # => 'Jargon count'
* TimeWithZone: when crossing DST boundary, treat Durations of days, months or years as variable-length, and all other values as absolute length. A time + 24.hours will advance exactly 24 hours, but a time + 1.day will advance 23-25 hours, depending on the day. Ensure consistent behavior across all advancing methods [Geoff Buesing]
* Added TimeZone #=~, to support matching zones by regex in time_zone_select. #195 [Ernie Miller]

* Fixed Date#end_of_quarter to not blow up on May 31st [#289 state:resolved] (Danger)
*2.1.0 (May 31st, 2008)*
* TimeZone#to_s shows offset as GMT instead of UTC, because GMT will be more familiar to end users (see time zone selects used by Windows OS, google.com and yahoo.com.) Reverts [8370] [Geoff Buesing]
* Hash.from_xml: datetime xml types overflow to Ruby DateTime class when out of range of Time. Adding tests for utc offsets [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone #+ and #- : ensure overflow to DateTime with Numeric arg [Geoff Buesing]

* Time.zone.parse return nil for strings with no date information [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.zone.parse respects offset information in string. Resolves #105. [Scott Fleckenstein, Geoff Buesing]
* Added Ruby 1.8 implementation of Process.daemon
* Duration #since and #ago with no argument (e.g., 5.days.ago) return TimeWithZone when config.time_zone is set. Introducing Time.current, which returns Time.zone.now if config.time_zone is set, otherwise just returns Time.now [Geoff Buesing]
* Time#since behaves correctly when passed a Duration. Closes #11527 [kemiller]
* Add #getutc alias for DateTime#utc [Geoff Buesing]

* Time #yesterday and #tomorrow behave correctly crossing DST boundary. Closes #7399 [sblackstone]
* TimeWithZone: Adding tests for dst and leap day edge cases when advancing time [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone#method_missing: send to utc to advance with dst correctness, otherwise send to time. Adding tests for time calculations methods [Geoff Buesing]
* Add config.active_support.use_standard_json_time_format setting so that Times and Dates export to ISO 8601 dates. [Rick Olson]
* TZInfo: Removing unneeded TimezoneProxy class [Geoff Buesing]
* TZInfo: Removing unneeded TimezoneIndexDefinition, since we're not including Indexes::Timezones [Geoff Buesing]
* Removing unnecessary uses_tzinfo helper from tests, given that TZInfo is now bundled [Geoff Buesing]
* Bundling abbreviated version of TZInfo gem 0.3.8: only the classes and zone definitions required to support Rails time zone features are included. If a recent version of the full TZInfo gem is installed, this will take precedence over the bundled version [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone#marshal_load does zone lookup via Time.get_zone, so that tzinfo/Olson identifiers are handled [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.zone= accepts TZInfo::Timezone instances and Olson identifiers; wraps result in TimeZone instance [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone time conversions don't need to be wrapped in TimeOrDateTime, because TZInfo does this internally [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone#usec returns 0 instead of error when DateTime is wrapped [Geoff Buesing]
* Improve documentation. [Ryan Bigg, Jan De Poorter, Cheah Chu Yeow, Xavier Shay, Jack Danger Canty, Emilio Tagua, Xavier Noria, Sunny Ripert]

* Make TimeWithZone work with tzinfo 0.2.x: use TZInfo::Timezone#zone_identifier alias for #abbreviation, silence warnings on tests. Raise LoadError when TZInfo version is < 0.2 by sniffing for TZInfo::TimeOrDateTime constant. Move all tzinfo-dependent TimeZone tests into uses_tzinfo block [Geoff Buesing]
* Time, DateTime and TimeWithZone #in_time_zone defaults to Time.zone. Removing now unneeded #in_current_time_zone [Geoff Buesing]
* TZInfo caches Timezone instances in its own internal hash cache, so TimeZone::MAPPING doesn't need to cache them as well [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding TimeZone#parse [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding TimeZone#at and DateTime#to_f [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone responds to Ruby 1.9 weekday-named query methods [Geoff Buesing]

* Fixed that BufferedLogger should create its own directory if one doesn't already exist #11285 [lotswholetime]
* Fix Numeric time tests broken by DST change by anchoring them to fixed times instead of Time.now. Anchor TimeZone#now DST test to time specified with Time.at instead of Time.local to work around platform differences with Time.local and DST representation [Geoff Buesing]
* Removing unneeded #change_time_zone method from Time, DateTime and TimeWithZone [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeZone #local and #now correctly enforce DST rules [Geoff Buesing]

* Adding TimeWithZone#between? [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.=== returns true for TimeWithZone instances [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone #+ and #- behave consistently with numeric arguments regardless of whether wrapped time is a Time or DateTime; consistenty answers false to #acts_like?(:date) [Geoff Buesing]
* Add String#squish and String#squish! to remove consecutive chunks of whitespace. #11123 [Jordi Bunster, Henrik N]
* Serialize BigDecimals as Floats when using to_yaml. #8746 [Ernesto Jimenez]
* Adding TimeWithZone #to_yaml, #to_datetime, #eql? and method aliases for duck-typing compatibility with Time [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone #in_time_zone returns +self+ if zone argument is the same as #time_zone [Geoff Buesing]

* Pruning unneeded Time#change_time_zone_to_current. Enhanced docs to #change_time_zone to explain the difference between this method and #in_time_zone [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeZone#new method renamed #local; when used with Time.zone, constructor now reads: Time.zone.local() [Geoff Buesing]
* Added Base64.encode64s to encode values in base64 without the newlines. This makes the values immediately usable as URL parameters or memcache keys without further processing [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Remove :nodoc: entries around the ActiveSupport test/unit assertions. #10946 [dancroak, jamesh]
* Add Time.zone_default accessor for setting the default time zone. Rails::Configuration.time_zone sets this. #10982 [Geoff Buesing]
* cache.fetch(key, :force => true) to force a cache miss. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Support retrieving TimeZones with a Duration. TimeZone[-28800] == TimeZone[-480.minutes]. [Rick Olson]
* TimeWithZone#- added, so that #- can handle a Time or TimeWithZone argument correctly [Geoff Buesing]
* with_timezone test helper renamed with_env_tz, to distinguish between setting ENV['TZ'] and setting Time.zone in tests [Geoff Buesing]
* Time#- coerces TimeWithZone argument to a Time instance so that difference in seconds can be calculated. Closes #10914 [Geoff Buesing, yyyc514]
* Adding UTC zone to TimeZone; TimeWithZone no longer has to fake UTC zone with nil [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.get_zone refactored to private method, given that the encapsulated logic is only useful internally [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.zone uses thread-local variable for thread safety. Adding Time.use_zone, for overriding Time.zone locally inside a block. Removing unneeded Time.zone_reset! [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeZone#to_s uses UTC rather than GMT; reapplying change that was undone in [8679]. #1689 [Cheah Chu Yeow]
* Time.days_in_month defaults to current year if no year is supplied as argument #10799 [Radar], uses Date.gregorian_leap? to determine leap year, and uses constant lookup to determine days in month [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding Time and DateTime #compare_with_coercion, which layers behavior on #<=> so that any combination of Time, DateTime and ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instances can be chronologically compared [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeZone#now returns an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone [Geoff Buesing]
* Time #in_current_time_zone and #change_time_zone_to_current return self when Time.zone is nil [Geoff Buesing]
* Remove unneeded #to_datetime_default_s alias for DateTime#to_s, given that we inherit a #to_default_s from Date that does exactly the same thing [Geoff Buesing]
* Refactor Time and DateTime #to_formatted_s: use ternary instead of nested if/else [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding Time and DateTime #formatted_offset, for outputting +HH:MM utc offset strings with cross-platform consistency [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding alternate_utc_string option to TimeZone#formatted_offset. Removing unneeded TimeZone#offset. [Geoff Buesing]
* Introduce ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone, for wrapping Time instances with a TimeZone. Introduce instance methods to Time for creating TimeWithZone instances, and class methods for managing a global time zone. [Geoff Buesing]
* Replace non-dst-aware TimeZone class with dst-aware class from tzinfo_timezone plugin. TimeZone#adjust and #unadjust are no longer available; tzinfo gem must now be present in order to perform time zone calculations, via #local_to_utc and #utc_to_local methods. [Geoff Buesing]
* Extract ActiveSupport::Callbacks from Active Record, test case setup and teardown, and ActionController::Dispatcher. #10727 [Josh Peek]
* Introducing DateTime #utc, #utc? and #utc_offset, for duck-typing compatibility with Time. Closes #10002 [Geoff Buesing]

* Add new superclass_delegating_accessors. Similar to class inheritable attributes but with subtly different semantics. [Michael Koziarski, Tarmo Tänav]
* Change JSON to encode %w(< > &) as 4 digit hex codes to be in compliance with the JSON spec. Closes #9975 [Josh Peek, Cheah Chu Yeow, Tim Pope]
* Fix JSON encoding/decoding bugs dealing with /'s. Closes #9990 [Rick Olson, theamazingrando]
* Introduce a base class for all test cases used by rails applications. ActiveSupport::TestCase [Michael Koziarski]
The intention is to use this to reduce the amount of monkeypatching / overriding that
is done to test/unit's classes.
* Document Enumerable and Hash #to_json. #9970 [Cheah Chu Yeow]
* Hash#to_xml handles symbol values. #9954 [Assaf]
* Hash#symbolize_keys behaves well with integer keys. #9890 [PotatoSalad]
* Multibyte: String#slice supports regexp argument. #9646 [yob]
* object.duplicable? returns true if object.dup is safe. False for nil, true, false, symbols, and numbers; true otherwise. #9333 [sur]
* Time, Date and DateTime #advance accept :weeks option. #9866 [Geoff Buesing]

* Fix Date#years_ago and #years_since from leap days. #9864 [Geoff Buesing]
* Refactor Time and Date#months_since and #months_ago to use #advance. #9863 [Geoff Buesing]
* Rebundle Builder 2.1.2 but prefer a newer RubyGem if available. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Add Range#overlaps?(range), Range#include?(range), and Range#step without a block. [brandon]
* Correct BufferedLogger#level? checks. #9806 [wildchild, Johan Sorensen]
* String#to_xs uses Eric Wong's fast_xs extension, if available, for Builder speedup. http://bogomips.org/fast_xs/ [Jeremy Kemper]
* Introduce BasicObject as Builder::BlankSlate for Ruby 1.9 forward compatibility. [Jeremy Kemper]

* Object#instance_exec produces fewer garbage methods. [Mauricio Fernandez]
* Decode json strings as Dates/Times if they're using a YAML-compatible format. Closes #9614 [Rick Olson]
* Fixed cache_page to use the request url instead of the routing options when picking a save path. #8614 [Josh Peek]
* Object.subclasses_of includes anonymous subclasses. [Jeremy Kemper]

* Added parsing of file type in Hash.xml_in so you can easily do file uploads with base64 from an API [David Heinemeier Hansson]
<person>
<name>David</name>
<avatar type="file" name="me.jpg" content_type="image/jpg">R0lGODlhkACZAPUAAM5lcfjrtMQCG=\n</avatar>
</person>
...becomes:
attributes = { :person => { :name => "David", :avatar => #<StringIO> } }
attributes[:person][:avatar].content_type # => "image/jpg"
attributes[:person][:avatar].original_filename # => "me.jpg"
attributes[:person][:avatar].read # => binary data of the file

Example:
invoice.rb class Invoice
invoice/lineitem.rb class Invoice::Lineitem
* Add Deprecation.silence so that Reloadable does not scold itself. [Nicholas Seckar]

By default, test prints to $stderr, dev logs, production ignores.
Provide your own per-environment in e.g. config/environments/development.rb:
ActiveSupport::Deprecation.behavior = Proc.new { |message| raise message }
