API documentation for find_in_batches

Hello,

At guides.rubyonrails.org I read about the possibilities of find_in_batches. However I cannot find this option anywhere in the API documentation (api.rubyonrails.org).

My question: where should I look for the documentation of this command?

http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveRecord/Batches/ClassMethods/find_in_batches

Note that this API is deprecated in Rails 3.

If this function (find_in_batches) is depreciated, what alternative is there? Same goes for the function find_each... in the current version of Rails they are still working, but for how long?

WTF are we supposed to use in place of these methods?

I don't think it is deprecated. However, it moved (it's now at find_in_batches (ActiveRecord::Batches) - APIdock) and it looks like apidock couldn't work out that it moved rather than vanish.
