Hi everyone,

Rails 3.2.8.rc2 has been released. If no regressions are found we will
release 3.2.8 final around Wednesday 8th.

## 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 3.2.8.rc1

*ActionMailer*

* No changes

*ActionPack*

* html_escape should escape single quotes. *Santiago Pastorino*

*ActiveModel*

* No changes

*ActiveRecord*

* 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.
    In RC2 was fixed again when using config.active_record.schema_format = :sql
    *Rafael Mendonça França*

* Do not consider the numeric attribute as changed if the old value
is zero and the new value is not a string. Fixes #7237. *Rafael
Mendonça França*

*ActiveResource*

* No changes

*ActiveSupport*

* Fix ActiveSupport integration with Mocha > 0.12.1. *Mike Gunderloy*

*Railties*

* ERB scaffold generator use the `:data => { :confirm => "Text" }`
syntax instead of `:confirm`. *Rafael Mendonça França*

Our test suite (rspec/capybara+webkit/jasmine) which was broken by 3.2.7 is working perfectly in 3.2.8.rc2.

Thanks!

Does this mean that all deprecation warnings will appear in releases X.Y.0 and disappear in X.Y.1 ? I like this idea.

Alexey.

No. New deprecation warnings will only be added in X.Y.0, but the deprecated feature itself will not be removed until X.Z.0.

Rails 3.2.1 won’t add any deprecation warnings anymore, but 3.3 will. Currently, we expect to add deprecation warnings only on 4.0. If we decide to deprecate something, 4.0.x won’t have any warnings, but 4.1.0 will.
