Hi everyone,

Rails 3.2.8.rc1 has been released. If no regressions are found we will release 3.2.8 final on Friday.

IMPORTANT

We are removing all the deprecation warnings that we introduced in 3.2.x. We have decided to stop introducing API deprecations in all point releases going forward. From now on, it’ll only happen in majors/minors.

CHANGES since 3.2.7

Action Mailer

• No changes

Action Pack

• Reverted the deprecation of :confirm. Rafael Mendonça França

• Reverted the deprecation of :disable_with. Rafael Mendonça França

• Reverted the deprecation of :mouseover option to image_tag. Rafael Mendonça França

• Reverted the deprecation of button_to_function and link_to_function helpers. Rafael Mendonça França

Active Model

• No changes

Active Record

• Removes the deprecation of update_attribute. fxn

• Reverted the deprecation of composed_of. Rafael Mendonça França

• Reverted the deprecation of *_sql association options. They will be deprecated in 4.0 instead. Jon Leighton

• Do not eager load AR session store. ActiveRecord::SessionStore depends on the abstract store in Action Pack. Eager loading this class would break client code that eager loads Active Record standalone. Fixes #7160

  Xavier Noria

• Do not set RAILS_ENV to “development” when using db:test:prepare and related rake tasks. This was causing the truncation of the development database data when using RSpec. Fixes #7175.
