Doesn't look like they've put together an official changelog yet, but the major changes off the top of my head would be jQuery, Coffeescript, sass, sprockets, css sprites, flushing & deprecation of rails 2 finders.
- MartinMond 15y agoIMO the most important improvement is the IdentityMap
- fullmoon 15y agoOh, it is in finally? Exciting!
- johnb 15y agoI know this isn't reddit, and I know it isn't welcome on news.yc... but ... that's what she said.
- pdelgallego 15y agoCare to explain? I haven't hear about it.
- tomeric 15y agoThe IdentityMap makes sure that there is only 1 ActiveRecord instance for a given row in the database. This basically means that calling Article.find(3) and Comment.where(:article_id => 3).first.article both return the same instance.

- keeran 15y agoI'm very much looking forward to making use of the associations rewrite by Jon Leighton (http://jonathanleighton.com/ http://jonathanleighton.com/). Nested has-many:through relationships are a go! :)
- vijaydev 15y agoA few niceties: 1. Console shows SQL queries right there. 2. The file_field automatically adds :multipart => true to the enclosing form. 3. Newer Migrations - There is a "change" method now which can be used to write only the "up" part of the migration and Rails will automatically reverse when a migration is rolled back.
- rbates 15y agoI've gathered up the changelog entries into a gist: https://gist.github.com/958283 https://gist.github.com/958283
