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
*ActionMailer*
* No changes
*ActionPack*
* 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*
*ActiveModel*
* No changes
*ActiveRecord*
* 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.
*Rafael Mendonça França*
* update_columns added. *Sebastián Martínez*
*ActiveResource*
* No changes
*ActiveSupport*
* Reverted the deprecation of ActiveSupport::JSON::Variable. *Rafael Mendonça França*
*Railties*
