+  
+    redirected_to :action => 'other_host', :only_path => true, :host => 'other.test.host'
+  
+  gives the error message...
+
+    response is not a redirection to all of the options supplied (redirection is <{:only_path=>false, :host=>"other.test.host", :action=>"other_host"}>), difference: <{:only_path=>"true", :host=>"other.test.host"}>
+
+* Change url_for to escape the resulting URLs when called from a view. [Nicholas Seckar, coffee2code]
+
+* Added easy support for testing file uploads with fixture_file_upload #4105 [turnip@turnipspatch.com]. Example:

+
+* Added simple alert() notifications for RJS exceptions when config.action_view.debug_rjs = true. [Sam Stephenson]
+
+* Added :content_type option to render, so you can change the content type on the fly [DHH]. Example: render :action => "atom.rxml", :content_type => "application/atom+xml"
+
+* CHANGED DEFAULT: The default content type for .rxml is now application/xml instead of type/xml, see http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/21/dive.html for reason [DHH]
+
+* Added option to render action/template/file of a specific extension (and here by template type). This means you can have multiple templates with the same name but a different extension [DHH]. Example:
+  
+    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+      def index
+        @posts = Post.find :all
+  
+        respond_to do |type|
+          type.html # using defaults, which will render weblog/index.rhtml
+          type.xml  { render :action => "index.rxml" }
+          type.js   { render :action => "index.rjs" }
+        end
+      end
+    end
+
+* Added better support for using the same actions to output for different sources depending on the Accept header [DHH]. Example:
+
+    class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+      def create
+        @post = Post.create(params[:post])
+      
+        respond_to do |type|
+          type.js   { render }  # renders create.rjs
+          type.html { redirect_to :action => "index" }
+          type.xml  do
+            headers["Location"] = url_for(:action => "show", :id => @post)
+            render(:nothing, :status => "201 Created")
+          end
+        end
+      end
+    end
+
+* Added Base#render(:xml => xml) that works just like Base#render(:text => text), but sets the content-type to text/xml and the charset to UTF-8 [DHH]
+
+* Integration test's url_for now runs in the context of the last request (if any) so after post /products/show/1 url_for :action => 'new' will yield /product/new  [Tobias Luetke]
+
+* Re-added mixed-in helper methods for the JavascriptGenerator.  Moved JavascriptGenerators methods to a module that is mixed in after the helpers are added.  Also fixed that variables set in the enumeration methods like #collect are set correctly.  Documentation added for the enumeration methods [Rick Olson].  Examples:
+
+    page.select('#items li').collect('items') do |element|
+      element.hide
+    end
+    # => var items = $$('#items li').collect(function(value, index) { return value.hide(); });
+
+* Added plugin support for parameter parsers, which allows for better support for REST web services. By default, posts submitted with the application/xml content type is handled by creating a XmlSimple hash with the same name as the root element of the submitted xml. More handlers can easily be registered like this:
+
+    # Assign a new param parser to a new content type
+    ActionController::Base.param_parsers['application/atom+xml'] = Proc.new do |data| 
+      node = REXML::Document.new(post) 
+     { node.root.name => node.root }
+    end
+
+    # Assign the default XmlSimple to a new content type
+    ActionController::Base.param_parsers['application/backpack+xml'] = :xml_simple
+ 
+Default YAML web services were retired, ActionController::Base.param_parsers carries an example which shows how to get this functionality back. As part of this new plugin support, request.[formatted_post?, xml_post?, yaml_post? and post_format] were all deprecated in favor of request.content_type [Tobias Luetke]
+ 
+* Fixed Effect.Appear in effects.js to work with floats in Safari #3524, #3813, #3044 [Thomas Fuchs]
+
+* Fixed that default image extension was not appended when using a full URL with AssetTagHelper#image_tag #4032, #3728 [rubyonrails@beautifulpixel.com]
+
+* Added that page caching will only happen if the response code is less than 400 #4033 [g.bucher@teti.ch]
+
+* Add ActionController::IntegrationTest to allow high-level testing of the way the controllers and routes all work together [Jamis Buck]
+
+* Added support to AssetTagHelper#javascript_include_tag for having :defaults appear anywhere in the list, so you can now make one call ala javascript_include_tag(:defaults, "my_scripts") or javascript_include_tag("my_scripts", :defaults) depending on how you want the load order #3506 [Bob Silva]
+
+* Added support for visual effects scoped queues to the visual_effect helper #3530 [Abdur-Rahman Advany]
+
+* Added .rxml (and any non-rhtml template, really) supportfor CaptureHelper#content_for and CaptureHelper#capture #3287 [Brian Takita]
+
+* Added script.aculo.us drag and drop helpers to RJS [Thomas Fuchs]. Examples:
+
+    page.draggable 'product-1'
+    page.drop_receiving 'wastebasket', :url => { :action => 'delete' }
+    page.sortable 'todolist', :url => { action => 'change_order' }
+
+* Fixed that form elements would strip the trailing [] from the first parameter #3545 [ruby@bobsilva.com]
+
+* During controller resolution, update the NameError suppression to check for the expected constant. [Nicholas Seckar]
+
+* Update script.aculo.us to V1.5.3 [Thomas Fuchs]
+
+* Added various InPlaceEditor options, #3746, #3891, #3896, #3906 [Bill Burcham, ruairi, sl33p3r]
+
+* Added :count option to pagination that'll make it possible for the ActiveRecord::Base.count call to using something else than * for the count. Especially important for count queries using DISTINCT #3839 [skaes]
+
+* Update script.aculo.us to V1.5.2 [Thomas Fuchs]
+
+* Added element and collection proxies to RJS [DHH]. Examples:
+
+    page['blank_slate']                  # => $('blank_slate');
+    page['blank_slate'].show             # => $('blank_slate').show();
+    page['blank_slate'].show('first').up # => $('blank_slate').show('first').up();
+    
+    page.select('p')                      # => $$('p');
+    page.select('p.welcome b').first      # => $$('p.welcome b').first();
+    page.select('p.welcome b').first.hide # => $$('p.welcome b').first().hide();
+
+* Add JavaScriptGenerator#replace for replacing an element's "outer HTML". #3246 [tom@craz8.com, Sam Stephenson]

+* Don't interpret the :value option on text_area as an html attribute. Set the text_area's value. #3752 [gabriel@gironda.org]
+
+* Fix remote_form_for creates a non-ajax form. [Rick Olson]

+
+* Add :builder => option to form_for and friends. [Nicholas Seckar, Rick Olson]
+
+* Fix controller resolution to avoid accidentally inheriting a controller from a parent module. [Nicholas Seckar]

+    update_page do |page|
+      page.insert_html :bottom, 'list', '<li>Last item</li>'
+      page.visual_effect :highlight, 'list'
+      page.hide 'status-indicator', 'cancel-link'

+
+  <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %>
+    First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
+    Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
+    Biography : <%= f.text_area :biography %>
+    Admin?    : <%= f.check_box :admin %>
+  <% end %>
+
+  <% form_for :person, person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |person_form| %>
+    First name: <%= person_form.text_field :first_name %>
+    Last name : <%= person_form.text_field :last_name %>
+    
+    <% fields_for :permission => person.permission do |permission_fields| %>
+      Admin?  : <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
+    <% end %>
+  <% end %>
+  
 * options_for_select allows any objects which respond_to? :first and :last rather than restricting to Array and Range.  #2824 [Jacob Robbins <jrobbins@cmj.com>, Jeremy Kemper]
 
 * The auto_link text helper accepts an optional block to format the link text for each url and email address.  Example: auto_link(post.body) { |text| truncate(text, 10) }  [Jeremy Kemper]
