+
+## 4.0.0
+
+### Major Changes (Backwards Incompatible)
+
+* \#3230 Array and Hash fields now validate that the correct types are
+  getting set, instead of allowing any value. (Rodrigo Saito)
+
+* \#3043/\#2949 Rework on the internals of persistence options. (Arthur Neves)
+
+* Mongoid now requires Active Model 4 or higher.
+
+* `Document#set` now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash,
+  instead of the previous `(field, value)` args. Field aliases and typecasting
+  are also now supported in this operation.
+
+        document.set(name: "Photek", likes: 10000)
+
+* `Document#rename` now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash,
+  instead of the previous `(field, value)` args. Field aliases are supported.
+
+        document.rename(first_name: "fn", last_name: "ln")
+
+* `Document#inc` now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead
+  of previously only being able to increment one value at a time. Aliases and
+  serialization is supported.
+
+        document.inc(score: 10, place: -1, lives: -10)
+
+* `Document#pop` now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead
+  of previously only being able to pop one value at a time. Aliases and
+  serialization is supported.
+
+        document.pop(names: 1, aliases: -1)
+
+* `Document#bit` now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead
+  of previously only being able to apply one set of operations at a time.
+  Aliases and serialization are supported.
+
+        document.bit(age: { and: 13 }, score: { or: 13 })
+
+* `Document#pull` now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead
+  of previously only being able to pull one value at a time. Aliases and
+  serialization is supported.
+
+        document.pull(names: "James", aliases: "007")
+
+* `Document#pull_all` now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash,
+  instead of previously only being able to pull one value at a time. Aliases and
+  serialization is supported.
+
+        document.pull_all(names: ["James", "Bond"], aliases: ["007"])
+
+* `Document#push_all` has been removed since it was deprecated in MongoDB 2.4.
+  Use `Document.push` instead.
+
+* `Document#push` now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, and
+  can handle the pushing of single values or multiple values to the field via
+  $push with $each. Aliases and serialization is supported.
+
+        document.push(names: "James", aliases: [ "007", "Jim" ])
+
+* `Document#add_to_set` now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash,
+  and now aliases and serialization are supported.
+
+        document.add_to_set(names: "James", aliases: "007")
+
+* Criteria atomic operations API is now changed to match the changes in the
+  single document atomic API, for example:
+
+        Band.where(name: "Depeche Mode").inc(likes: 10, followers: 20)
+
+* \#3138 `update_attributes` can now be accessed simply by calling `update`.
+
+* \#3083 A new rake task: `rake mongoid:remove_undefined_indexes` has been added to
+  remove indexes from the database that are not explicitly defined in the models.
+  (Aidan Feldman)
+
+* \#3029 The `relation_field` field that is added for a single use case with polymorphic
+  relations has been removed. So where the following would work before:
+
+        class Eye
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          belongs_to :eyeable, polymorphic: true
+        end
+
+        class Face
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          has_one :left_eye, class_name: "Eye", as: :eyeable
+          has_one :right_eye, class_name: "Eye", as: :eyeable
+        end
+
+      This would now need to be modeled as (with the appropriate migration):
+
+        class Eye
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          belongs_to :left_socket, class_name: "Face", inverse_of: :left_eye
+          belongs_to :right_socket, class_name: "Face", inverse_of: :right_eye
+        end
+
+        class Face
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          has_one :left_eye, class_name: "Eye", inverse_of: :left_socket
+          has_one :right_eye, class_name: "Eye", inverse_of: :right_socket
+        end
+
+* \#3075 `update_attribute` now properly calls the setter method instead of
+  using `write_attribute`.
+
+* \#3060 Allow atomically blocks to allow multiple calls of the same type.
+  (Brian Norton)
+
+* \#3037 Model indexes are no longer stored in an `index_options` hash on the
+  model class. Instead, an array named `index_specifications` now exists on the
+  class which contains a list of `Indexable::Specification` objects. This is so
+  we could properly handle the case of indexes with the same keys but different
+  order.
+
+* \#2991 The `timeless` feature has been removed, due to the fact with the current
+  overall design of Mongoid it would never be thread safe when accessed from the
+  class level, and has too many edge cases. Active Record's implementation of this
+  feature also suffers the same faults.
+
+* \#2956 Caching on queries now only happens when `cache` is specifically
+  called. (Arthur Neves)
+
+* \#2898 Dirty attribute methods now properly handle field aliases.
+  (Niels Ganser)
+
+* \#2659 `Mongoid::Railtie` now properly uses only one initializer and
+  the name has changed to `mongoid.load-config`.
+
+* \#2656 `rake db:reseed` is now `rake db:reset` (Arthur Neves)
+
+* \#2648 `Boolean` becomes `Mongoid::Boolean` to avoid polluting the global
+  namespace with a commonly used class by other libraries.
+
+* \#2603 Return values from setters are now always the set value, regardless
+  of calling the setter or using send.
+
+* \#2563 The `allow_dynamic_fields` configuration option has been removed as
+  dynamic fields are now allowed on a per-model level. In order to allow a
+  model to use dynamic fields, simply include the module in each.
+  (Josh Martin)
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          include Mongoid::Attributes::Dynamic
+        end
+
+* \#2497 Calling `to_json` no longer tampers with the return value from the
+  driver, and proper returns `{ "$oid" : object_id.to_s }` instead of just
+  the string representation previously.
+
+* \#2433 `Mongoid::Paranoia` has been removed.
+
+* \#2432 `Mongoid::Versioning` has been removed.
+
+* \#2218 Creating or instantiating documents that have default scopes will now
+  apply the default scope to the document, if the scope is not complex.
+
+* \#2200 Mass assignment security now mirrors Rails 4's behavior.
+
+* `delete_all` and `destroy_all` no longer take a `:conditions` hash but
+  just the raw attributes.
+
+* \#1344 Atomic updates can now be executed in an `atomically` block, which will
+  delay any atomic updates on the document the block was called on until the
+  block is complete.
+
+    Update calls can be executed as normal in the block:
+
+        document.atomically do
+          document.inc(likes: 10)
+          document.bit(members: { and: 10 })
+          document.set(name: "Photek")
+        end
+
+    The document is also yielded to the block:
+
+        document.atomically do |doc|
+          doc.inc(likes: 10)
+          doc.bit(members: { and: 10 })
+          doc.set(name: "Photek")
+        end
+
+    The atomic commands are have a fluid interface:
+
+        document.atomically do |doc|
+          doc.inc(likes: 10).bit(members: { and: 10 }).set(name: "Photek")
+        end
+
+    If the fluid interface is leveraged without the `atomically` block, the
+    operations will persist in individual calls. For example, the following
+    would hit the database 3 times without the block provided:
+
+        doc.inc(likes: 10).bit(members: { and: 10 }).set(name: "Photek")
+
+    The block is only good for 1 document at a time, so embedded and root
+    document updates cannot be mixed at this time.
+
+### New Features
+
+* \#3155 Range field will persist the exclude_end when provided.
+  (Daniel Libanori)
+
+* \#3146 Adding :overwrite field option, when it`s true, it wont check duplicates.
+ (Daniel Libanori)
+
+* \#3002 Reloading the Rails console will also now clear Mongoid's identity map.
+
+* \#2938 A configuration option `duplicate_fields_exception` has been added that
+  when set to `true` will raise an exception when defining a field that will
+  override an existing method. (Arthur Neves)
+
+* \#2924 MongoDB 2.4 beta text search now has a DSL provided by Mongoid. Like
+  other queries, text searches are lazy evaluated, and available off the class
+  or criteria level.
+
+    Note that any 3rd party gem that provides a `text_search` method will now no
+    longer work with Mongoid, and will need to change its syntax. Examples:
+
+        Band.text_search("mode").project(name: 1).each do |doc|
+          # ...
+        end
+
+        Band.limit(10).text_search("phase").language("latin")
+        Band.where(:likes.gt => 1000).text_search("lucy")
+
+* \#2855 Multiple extensions can now be supplied to relations. (Daniel Libanori)
+
+### Resolved Issues

+
+* \#3088 Range field can accept a hash, which could be the attribute from the db.

+
+* \#3063 `Document#becomes` now properly sets base object on errors.
+  (Adam Ross Cohen)
+

+  (Bowen Sun)
+
+* \#3159 Upserting now properly flags documents as persisted.
+
+* \#3081 Criteria's `method_missing` now checks if an array responds to the provided
+  method before calling entries in order to not hit the database if a `NoMethodError`
+  was to get raised.
+
+* \#3068 Fixed spec runs on non standard MongoDB ports if `MONGOID_SPEC_PORT` is
+  set.
+
+* \#3047 Ensure `blank?` and `empty?` don't fall through method missing on criteria.
+
+## 3.1.4
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#3044 Ensure enumerable targets match arrays in case statements.
+
+* \#3034 `first_or_create` on criterion now properly passes the block to create
+  instead of calling after the document was created.
+
+* \#3021 Removed `mongoid.yml` warning from initializer, this is now handled by
+  the session configuration options.
+
+* \#3018 Uniqueness validator now properly serializes values in its check.
+  (Jerry Clinesmith)
+
+* \#3011 Fixed aliased field support for uniqueness validation. (Johnny Shields)
+
+* \#3008 Fixed subclasses not being able to inherit scopes properly when scope
+  is added post class load. (Mike Dillon)
+
+* \#2991 `Document.timeless` now properly scopes to the instance and not thread.
+
+* \#2980 Dynamic fields now properly handle in place editing of hashes and
+  arrays. (Matthew Widmann)
+
+* \#2979 `pluck` no longer modifies the context in place. (Brian Goff)
+
+* \#2970 Fixed counter cache to properly use the name of the relation if available
+  then the inverse class name second if not.
+
+* \#2959 Nested attributes will now respect `autosave: false` if defined on the
+  relation.
+
+* \#2944 Fixed uniqueness validation for localized fields when case insensitive
+  is true. (Vladimir Zhukov)
+
+## 3.1.3
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* Dont duplicate embedded documents when saving after calling becomes method.
+  (Arthur Neves)
+
+* \#2961 Reloading a mongoid.yml configuration now properly clears previously
+  configured sessions.
+
+* \#2937 Counts can now take a `true` argument to factor in skip and limit.
+  (Arthur Neves)
+
+* \#2921 Don't use type in identity map selection if inheritance is not
+  in play. (Arthur Neves)
+
+* \#2893 Removed memoization of collection name and database name so lambdas
+  with `store_in` work properly when changing.
+
+* \#2911 The `_destroy` attribute on 1-n relations when processing nested
+  attributes can now be a string or symbol when passed an array.
+

+
+* \#2867 `pluck` now properly handles aliased fields.
+
+* \#2862 Autosaving no longer performs extra unnecessary queries.
+  (Arthur Neves)
+
+## 3.1.2
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#2851 Fixed BigDecimal demongoization of NaN values. (nkem)
+
+* \#2848 Fixed `touch` to work when usinng short timestamps. (Arthur Neves)
+
+* \#2840 Fixed end-to-end `no_timeout` option handling.
+
+* \#2826 Dynamic fields are now properly mongoized.
+
+* \#2822 Marshal load of relations now properly reapplies extensions.
+

+  (Colin MacKenzie)
+
+## 3.1.0
+
+### New Features
+
+* The minimum MongoDB requirement is now raised to 2.2, since we now
+  depend on the aggregation framework.
+
+* The minimum Active Model and Active Support dependencies have been
+  raised to 3.2.
+
+* \#2809 Relations can now specify a primary key to use instead of the
+  id on foreign keys.
+
+        class Person
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :username, type: String
+          has_many :cats, primary_key: "username"
+        end
+
+        class Cat
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          belongs_to :person, primary_key: "username"
+        end
+
+* \#2804 $geoNear support has now been added to criteria.
+
+        Bar.where(:likes.gt => 1000).geo_near([ 52, 13 ])
+        Bar.geo_near([ 52, 13 ]).max_distance(0.5).spherical
+
+* \#2799 Criteria#map can now accept a symbol of a field name as well as
+  a block to perform a more optimized `map`. (Gosha Arinich)
+
+        Band.where(:likes.gt => 1000).map(:name)
+
+* \#2798 Aggregations (`sum`, `min`, `max`, `avg`) now use the
+  aggregation framework instead of map/reduce. (Gosha Arinich)
+
+* \#2776 MongoDB 2.4.x new index types are now supported: "2dsphere",
+  "text", and "hashed". (Irakli Janiashvili)
+
+* \#2767 $maxScan support from Origin is now supported. (Jonathan Hyman)
+
+* \#2701 Cleanup up extra excessive database queries with 1-1 relations.
+
+* \#2693 Custom collection names can be passed to the model generator.
+  (Subhash Bhushan)
+
+        rails g model band --collection=artists
+
+* \#2688 `Model.create` and `Model.create!` now can take an array of
+  attributes hashes to create multiple documents at once. If an array
+  of attributes is provided then an array of documents is returned.
+
+        Band.create([{ name: "Tool" }, { name: "Placebo" }])
+        Band.create!([{ name: "Tool" }, { name: "Placebo" }])
+
+* \#2670 Unsetting fields now accepts multiple fields instead of only 1.
+  (Arthur Neves)
+
+        band.unset(:name, :founded)
+        Band.where(name: "Placebo").unset(:members, :origin)
+
+* \#2669 Passing a block to `Criteria#new` now properly sends the
+  block through to the model's contructor. (Arthur Neves)
+
+* \#2667 `exists?` no longer hits the database in cases where we have
+  the necessary information in memory.
+
+* \#2665 Mongoid now supports a counter cache for `belongs_to`
+  relations. (Arthur Neves)
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          belongs_to :label, counter_cache: "b_count"
+        end
+
+        class Album
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          belongs_to :band, counter_cache: true
+        end
+
+* \#2662 Embedded documents that have `belongs_to` relations may now
+  eager load them.
+
+* \#2657 Logger getter and setter convenience methods have been
+  added to the `Config` module. (Arthur Neves)
+
+* \#2615 Index options can now take a specific database name if the
+  indexes are only to exist in a database other than the default.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          index name: 1, { database: "another_db" }
+        end
+
+* \#2613 Procs can now be provided as values to `store_in`:
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          store_in database: ->{ Thread.current[:database] }
+        end
+
+* \#2609 Pass through batch_size option to query. (Martin Mauch)
+
+* \#2555 Passing hashes to `find` when the documents id is of type hash
+  now properly works. (Szymon Kurcab)
+
+* \#2545 The `$` positional operator is used for update selectors on
+  embedded documents that are nested 1 level deep, when appropriate.
+
+* \#2539 `Mongoid.models` now tracks all models in the application for more
+  accurate determination of models for things such as indexing rake tasks.
+  (Ara Howard)
+
+* \#2525 Added the ability to have short timestamped fields with aliases. This
+  sets timestamp fields as `c_at` and `u_at` that are also aliased as
+  `created_at` and `updated_at` for convenience. (Rodrigo Saito)
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          include Mongoid::Timestamps::Short # For c_at and u_at.
+        end
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          include Mongoid::Timestamps::Created::Short # For c_at only.
+        end
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          include Mongoid::Timestamps::Updated::Short # For u_at only.
+        end
+
+* \#2465 Documents now have an `attribute_before_type_cast` for proper
+  handling of validations. (Gerad Suyderhoud)
+
+* \#2443 `expire_after_seconds` is now a valid index option
+  (http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/indexes/#ttl-indexes,
+   http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/expire-data/).
+
+        class Event
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :created_at, type: DateTime
+          index({ created_at: 1 }, { expire_after_seconds: 3600 })
+        end
+
+* \#2373 Relations with the `touch: true` option will now be automatically
+  touched when the child document is created or destroyed.
+
+* Added `Document.first_or_create!` and `Criteria#first_or_create!`. This
+  raises a validations error if creation fails validation.
+
+        Band.where(name: "Depeche Mode").first_or_create!
+        Band.where(name: "Tool").first_or_create!(active: true)
+
+* Added `Document.first_or_initialize` and `Criteria#first_or_initialize`.
+  This is the same as `first_or_create` but initializes a new (unpersisted)
+  document if none is found.
+
+        Band.where(name: "Depeche Mode").first_or_initialize
+        Band.where(name: "Tool").first_or_initialize(active: true)
+
+* Added `Model.pluck` and `Criteria#pluck` similar to Active Record's, which
+  returns an array of values for the provided field. (Jason Lee)
+
+        Band.where(name: "Depeche Mode").pluck(:_id)
+        Band.where(name: "Tool").pluck(:likes)
+
+* \#2324 Embeds many relations now properly handle `delete_if`.
+
+* \#2317 Added `Document.first_or_create` and `Criteria#first_or_create`.
+  This will return the first matching document or create one with additional
+  attributes if one does not exist. (incorvia)
+
+        Band.where(name: "Depeche Mode").first_or_create
+        Band.where(name: "Tool").first_or_create(active: true)
+
+* \#2292 Added `Model.each_with_index`.
+
+* \#2285 `Config.load_configuration` is now public for those who want to instantiate
+  settings directly from a hash.
+
+* \#2275 Added rake task `db:mongoid:purge` that will drop all collections with
+  the exception of the system collections in the default database.
+
+* \#2257 `after_find` callbacks have been added for when documents are returned
+  from the database.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+
+          after_find do |doc|
+            # Some logic here.
+          end
+        end
+
+* \#2223 Allow to find documents by javascript with parameters that are
+  protected from javascript injection via `Model.for_js`.
+
+        Band.for_js("this.name = param", param: "Tool")
+        Band.where(:likes.gt => 1000).for_js("this.likes < this.follows")
+
+* \#2197 When providing session configuration with no ports, Mongoid will now
+  default these to 27017.
+
+* \#2180 1-n and n-n relations now support before/after add/remove callbacks.

+
+### Resolved Issues

+
+* \#2651 Ensure `Criteria#type` works properly with both symbol and string
+  keys in the selector.
+
+* \#2647 Ensure `deleted?` and `destroyed?` on paranoid documents return the

+  document via `Document#becomes` (Łukasz Bandzarewicz)
+
+* \#2529 Fields on subclasses that override fields in the parent where both have
+  defaults with procs now properly override the default in the subclass.
+
+* \#2528 Aliased fields need to be duped when subclassing.
+
+* \#2527 Ensure removal of docs in a `has_many` does a multi update when setting
+  to an empty array.
+
+## 3.0.11
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#2522 Fixed `Criteria#with` to return the criteria and not the class.
+
+* \#2518 Fix unit of work call for the identity map when using Passenger.
+
+* \#2512 Ensure nested attributes destroy works with the delayed destroys
+  introduced in 3.0.10 when multiple levels deep.
+
+* \#2509 Don't hit identity map an extra time when the returned value is an
+  empty hash. (Douwe Maan)
+
+## 3.0.10
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#2507 Ensure no extra db hits when eager loading has a mix of parents
+  with and without docs. (Douwe Maan)
+
+* \#2505 Ensure `update` and `update_all` from criteria properly handle
+  aliased fields. (Dmitry Krasnoukhov)
+
+* \#2504 `Model#becomes` properly keeps the same id.
+
+* \#2498 Criteria now properly pass provided blocks though `method_missing`.
+
+* \#2496 Embedded documents that were previously stored without ids now
+  properly update and get assigned ids from within Mongoid.
+
+* \#2494 All explicit atomic operations now properly respect aliased fields.
+
+* \#2493 Use `Class#name` instead of `Class#model_name` when setting
+  polymorphic types in case `model_name` has been overridden.
+
+* \#2491 Removed unnecessary merge call in cascadable children.
+
+* \#2485 Removing indexes now always uses strong consistency.
+
+* \#2483 Versioning now handles localized fields. (Lawrence Curtis)
+
+* \#2482 Store find parameters in the `DocumentNotFound` error.
+
+* \#2481 Map/reduce aggregations now properly handle Mongo's batching of
+  reduce jobs in groups of 100 with the state being passed through on the
+  count.
+
+* \#2476 Handle skip and limit outside of range on embeds_many relations
+  gracefully.
+
+* \#2474 Correctly detach 1-1 relations when the child is not yet loaded.
+  (Kostyantyn Stepanyuk)
+
+* \#2451 `relation.deleted` on embedded paranoid documents now works properly
+  again.
+
+* \#2472 Ensure `update_all` on embedded relations works properly when nothing
+  is actually going to be updated.
+
+* \#2469 Nullified documents on relations are now able to be re-added with the
+  same in memory instance.
+
+* \#2454 `Model#as_document` properly allows changes from having a relation to
+  the relation being removed. (James Almond)
+
+* \#2445 Mongoid middleware now properly supports both normal and streamed
+  responses and properly clears the identity map for either.
+
+* \#2367 Embedded documents that are to be deleted via nested attributes no
+  longer become immediately removed from the relation in case the parent
+  validation fails. Instead, they get flagged for destruction and then the
+  removal occurs upon the parent passing validation and going to persist.
+
+  Note this is a behaviour change, but since the API does not change and
+  the previous behaviour was incorrect and did not match AR this was able
+  to go into a point release.
+
+## 3.0.9
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#2463 Fixed the broken `rails g mongoid:config` from a fresh repo.
+
+* \#2456 The descendants cache is now reset when the document is inherited
+  again. (Kostyantyn Stepanyuk)
+
+* \#2453 `Model#write_attribute` now properly works with aliased fields.
+  (Campbell Allen)
+
+* \#2444 Removed extra dirty methods creation call. (Kostyantyn Stepanyuk)
+
+* \#2440/\#2435 Pass mass assignment options down to children when setting via

+  (Tiago Rafael Godinho)
+
+* \#2393 Ensure `inverse_of` is respected when using polymorphic relations.
+
+* \#2388 Map/reduce properly uses `sort` instead of `orderby` in the execution
+  of the command. (Alex Tsibulya)
+
+* \#2386 Allow geo haystack and bits parameters in indexes. (Bradley Rees)
+
+* \#2380 `Model#becomes` now properly copies over dirty attributes.
+

+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#2375 Uniqueness validation scoping now works with aliased fields.

+
+* \#2370 Paranoid documents now properly don't get deleted when using
+  `dependent: :restrict` and an exception is raised.
+
+* \#2365 Don't do anything when trying to replace an embeds_one with the same
+  document.
+
+* \#2362 Don't store inverse of field values in the database when they are not
+  needed. (When there is not more than one polymorphic parent defined on the
+  same class).
+
+* \#2360 Cloning documents should ignore mass assignment protection rules.
+
+* \#2356 When limiting fields returned in queries via `only` ensure that the
+  limitation is scoped to the model.
+
+* \#2353 Allow `update_attribute` to properly handle aliased fields.
+
+* \#2348 Conversion of strings to times should raise an arugment error if the
+  string is invalid. (Campbell Allen)
+
+* \#2346 Ensure `belongs_to` relations are evolvable when passed the proxy and
+  not the document.
+
+* \#2334 Fixed aggregation map/reduce when fields sometimes do not exist.
+  (James McKinney)
+
+* \#2330 Fixed inconsistency of #size and #length on criteria when the documents
+  have been iterated over with a limit applied.
+
+* \#2328 Ensure ordering is applied on all relation criteria if defined.
+
+* \#2327 Don't execute callbacks from base document if the document cannot execute
+  them.
+
+* \#2318 Ensure setting any numeric on a Float field actually sets it as a float,
+  even if the number provided is an integer.
+
+## 3.0.5
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#2313 Fixed deserialization of `nil` `TimeWithZone` fields. (nagachika)
+
+* \#2311 `Document#changes` no longer returns `nil` values for Array and Hash
+  fields that were only accessed and didn't actually change. Regression from 2.4.x.
+
+* \#2310 Setting a many to many duplicate successively in memory no longer clears
+  the inverse foreign keys.
+
+* \#2309 Allow embeds_one relations to be set with hashes more than just the
+  initial set.
+
+* \#2308 Ensure documents retrieved via `#find` on `has_many` and
+  `has_and_belongs_to_many` relations are kept in memory.
+
+* \#2304 Default scopes now properly merge instead of overwrite when more
+  than one is defined as per expectations with AR.  (Kirill Maksimov)
+
+* \#2300 Ensure reloading refreshes the document in the identity map.
+
+* \#2298 Protect against many to many relations pulling a null set of ids.
+   (Jonathan Hyman)
+
+* \#2291 Fixed touch operations only to update the timestamp and the optional
+  field, no matter what the other changes on the document are.
+
+* \#1091 Allow presence validation to pass if the value is `false`.
+
+## 3.0.4
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#2280 Fix synchronization of many-to-many relations when an ordering default
+  scope exists on either side of the association.
+
+* \#2278 `Criteria#update` now properly updates only the first matching document,
+  where `Criteria#update_all` will update all matching documents. (no flag vs multi).
+
+* \#2274 When loading models, warn if error is raised but continue processing.
+
+* \#2272 Don't wipe selectors or options when removing the default scope for
+  actual nil values. Must check if key exists as well.
+
+* \#2266 Restored paranoid documents are no longer flagged as destroyed.
+  (Mario Uher)
+
+* \#2263 Ensure casting of non object id foreign keys on many to many relations
+  happens in the initial set, not at validation time.
+
+## 3.0.3
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#2259 Ensure subclassed documents can not be pulled from the identity map
+  via an id of another document in the same collection with a parent or
+  sibeling type.
+
+* \#2254 $inc operations no longer convert all values to floats.
+
+* \#2252 Don't fire autosave when before callbacks have terminated.
+
+* \#2248 Improved the performance of `exists?` on criteria and relations.
+  (Jonathan Hyman)
+
+## 3.0.2
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#2244 Get rid of id mass assignment warnings in nested attributes.
+
+* \#2242 Fix eager loading not to load all documents when calling first or
+  last.
+
+* \#2241 Map/reduce operations now always use strong consistency since they
+  have the potential to write to collections, most of the time.
+
+* \#2238 Ensure n-n foreign key fields are flagged as resizable to prevent
+  `nil` -> `[]` changes when using `#only` and updating.
+
+* \#2236 Keep the instance of the document in the validations exception
+  accessible via `document` or `record`.
+
+* \#2234 Ensure validations when document is getting persisted with custom
+  options work properly with custom options, and do not clear them out if
+  validation passes.
+
+* \#2224 `Model#inc` now accepts `BigDecimal` values.
+
+* \#2216 Fixed assignment of metadata on embeds one relations when setting
+  multiple times in a row.
+
+* \#2212 Ensure errors are cleared after a save with `validate: false` in all
+  situations.
+
+* \#2207 When eager loading ids the query must be duped to avoid multiple
+  iteration problems not getting the required fields.
+
+* \#2204 Raise an `InvalidIncludes` error when passing arguments to
+  `Criteria.includes` that are invalid (not relations, or more than 1 level.)
+
+* \#2203 Map/Reduce now works properly in conjunction with `Model#with`.

+
+* \#2199 Autosave false is now respected when automatically adding
+  presence validation. (John Nishinaga)
+
+## 3.0.1
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#2191 Ensure proper visibility (private) for error message generation
+  methods.
+
+* \#2187 Ensure all levels of nested documents are serialized in json.
+
+* \#2184 Allow names of relations that conflict with ruby core kernel
+  methods to pass existence checks.
+
+* \#2181 Ensure `.first` criteria sort by ascending ids, if no other
+  sorting criteria was provided.
+
+## 3.0.0
+
+### New Features
+
+* \#2151 When asking for metadata before persistence, Mongoid will now
+  raise a `Mongoid::Errors::NoMetadata` error if the metadata is not
+  present.
+
+* \#2147 `Model#becomes` now copies over the embedded documents.
+
+* A new callback has been introduced: `upsert`, which runs when calling
+  `document.upsert` since Mongoid does not know if the document is to be
+  treated as new or persisted. With this come the model callbacks:
+
+        before_upsert
+        after_upsert
+        around_upsert
+
+* \#2080/\#2087 The database or session that Mongoid persists to can now be
+  overridden on a global level for cases where `Model#with` is not a viable
+  option.
+
+        Mongoid.override_database(:secondary)
+        Mongoid.override_session(:secondary)
+
+        Band.create(name: "Placebo") #=> Persists to secondary.
+        band.albums.create #=> Persists to secondary.
+
+    Note that this option is global and overrides for all models on the current
+    thread. It is the developer's responsibility to remember to set this back
+    to nil if you no longer want the override to happen.
+
+        Mongoid.override_database(nil)
+        Mongoid.override_session(nil)
+
+* \#1989 Criteria `count`, `size` and `length` now behave as Active Record
+  with regards to database access.
+
+    `Criteria#count` will always hit the database to get the count.
+
+    `Criteria#length` and `Criteria#size` will hit the database once if the
+    criteria has not been loaded, and subsequent calls will return the
+    cached value.
+
+    If the criteria has been iterated over or loaded, `length` and `size`
+    will never hit the db.
+
+* \#1976 Eager loading no longer produces queries when the base query returns
+  zero results.
+
+* `Model.find_by` now accepts a block and will yield to the found document if
+  it is not nil.
+
+        Band.find_by(name: "Depeche Mode") do |band|
+          band.likes = 100
+        end
+
+* \#1958/\#1798 Documents and `belongs_to` relations now support touch.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          include Mongoid::Timestamps::Updated
+          belongs_to :label, touch: true
+        end
+
+    Update the document's updated_at timestamp to the current time. This
+    will also update any touchable relation's timestamp as well.
+
+        Band.first.touch
+
+    Update a specific time field along with the udpated_at.
+
+        Band.first.touch(:founded)
+
+    This fires no validations or callbacks.
+
+* Mongoid now supports MongoDB's $findAndModify command.
+
+        Band.find_and_modify("$inc" => { likes: 1 })
+
+        Band.desc(:name).only(:name).find_and_modify(
+          { "$inc" => { likes: 1 }}, new: true
+        )
+
+* \#1906 Mongoid will retrieve documents from the identity map when
+  providing multiple ids to find. (Hans Hasselberg)
+
+* \#1903 Mongoid raises an error if provided a javascript expression
+  to a where clause on an embedded collection. (Sebastien Azimi)
+
+* Aggregations now adhere to both a Mongoid API and their enumerable
+  counterparts where applicable.
+
+        Band.min(:likes)
+        Band.min do |a, b|
+          a.likes <=> b.likes
+        end
+
+        Band.max(:likes)
+        Band.max do |a, b|
+          a.likes <=> b.likes
+        end
+
+    Note that when providing a field name and no block, a single numeric
+    value will be returned, but when providing a block, a document will
+    be returned which has the min/max value. This is since Ruby's
+    Enumerable API dictates when providing a block, the matching element
+    is returned.
+
+    When providing a block, all documents will be loaded into memory.
+    When providing a symbol, the execution is handled via map/reduce on
+    the server.
+
+* A kitchen sink aggregation method is now provided, to get everything in
+  in a single call for a field.
+
+        Band.aggregates(:likes)
+        # =>
+        #   {
+        #     "count" => 2.0,
+        #     "max" => 1000.0,
+        #     "min" => 500.0,
+        #     "sum" => 1500.0,
+        #     "avg" => 750.0
+        #   }
+
+* A DSL off the criteria API is now provided for map/reduce operations
+  as a convenience.
+
+        Band.where(name: "Tool").map_reduce(map, reduce).out(inline: 1)
+        Band.map_reduce(map, reduce).out(replace: "coll-name")
+        Band.map_reduce(map, reduce).out(inline: 1).finalize(finalize)
+
+* Mongoid now uses Origin for its Criteria API. See the Origin repo
+  and API docs for the documentation.
+
+* \#1861 Mongoid now raises an `AmbiguousRelationship` error when it
+  cannot determine the inverse of a relation and there are multiple
+  potential candidates. (Hans Hasselberg)
+
+* You can now perform an explain directly from criteria.
+
+        Band.where(name: "Depeche Mode").explain
+
+* \#1856 Push on one to many relations can now be chained.
+
+        band.albums.push(undertow).push(aenima)
+
+* \#1842 MultiParameterAttributes now supported aliased fields.
+  (Anton Orel)
+
+* \#1833 If an embedded document is attempted to be saved with no
+  parent defined, Mongoid now will raise a `Mongoid::Errors::NoParent`
+  exception.
+
+* Added an ORM-agnostic way to get the field names
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :name, type: String
+        end
+
+        Band.attribute_names
+
+* \#1831 `find_or_create_by` on relations now takes mass assignment
+  and type options. (Tatsuya Ono)
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          embeds_many :albums
+        end
+
+        band.albums.find_or_create_by({ name: "101" }, LP)
+
+* \#1818 Add capability to choose the key where your `embeds_many` relation
+  is stores. (Cyril Mougel)
+
+        class User
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :name, type: String
+          embeds_many :prefs, class_name: "Preference", store_as: 'my_preferences'
+        end
+
+        user.prefs.build(value: "ok")
+        user.save
+        # document saves in MongoDB as:
+        # { "name" => "foo", "my_preferences" => [{ "value" => "ok" }]}
+
+* \#1806 `Model.find_or_create_by` and `Model.find_or_initialize_by` can now
+  take documents as paramters for belongs_to relations.
+
+        person = Person.first
+        Game.find_or_create_by(person: person)
+
+* \#1774 Relations now have a :restrict option for dependent relations
+  which will raise an error when attempting to delete a parent that
+  still has children on it. (Hans Hasselberg)
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          has_many :albums, dependent: :restrict
+        end
+
+        band = Band.first
+        band.albums << Albums.first
+        band.delete # Raises DeleteRestriction error.
+
+* \#1764 Add method to check if field differs from the default value.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :name, type: String, default: "New"
+        end
+
+        band = Band.first
+        band.name_changed_from_default?
+
+* \#1759 Invalid fields error messages have been updated to show the
+  source and location of the original method. The new message is:
+
+        Problem:
+          Defining a field named 'crazy_method' is not allowed.
+        Summary:
+          Defining this field would override the method 'crazy_method',
+          which would cause issues with expectations around the original
+          method and cause extremely hard to debug issues.
+          The original method was defined in:
+            Object: MyModule
+            File: /path/to/my/module.rb
+            Line: 8
+        Resolution:
+          Use Mongoid.destructive_fields to see what names are
+          not allowed, and don't use these names. These include names
+          that also conflict with core Ruby methods on Object, Module,
+          Enumerable, or included gems that inject methods into these
+          or Mongoid internals.
+
+* \#1753/#1649 A setter and getter for has_many relations to set its
+  children is now provided. (Piotr Jakubowski)
+
+        class Album
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          has_many :engineers
+        end
+
+        class Engineer
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          belongs_to :album
+        end
+
+        album = Album.first
+        engineer = Engineer.first
+        album.engineer_ids = [ engineer.id ]
+        album.engineer_ids # Returns the ids of the engineers.
+
+* \#1741 Mongoid now provides a rake task to force remove indexes for
+  environments where Mongoid manages the index definitions and the
+  removal should be automated. (Hans Hasselberg)
+
+        rake db:force_remove_indexes
+        rake db:mongoid:force_remove_indexes
+
+* \#1726 `Mongoid.load!` now accepts an optional second argument for the
+  environment to load. This takes precedence over any environment variable
+  that is set if provided.
+
+        Mongoid.load!("/path/to/mongoid.yml", :development)
+
+* \#1724 Mongoid now supports regex fields.
+
+        class Rule
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :pattern, type: Regexp, default: /[^abc]/
+        end
+
+* \#1714/\#1706 Added better logging on index creation. (Hans Hasselberg)
+
+    When an index is present on a root document model:
+
+        Creating indexes on: Model for: name, dob.
+
+    When an index is defined on an embedded model:
+
+        Index ignored on: Address, please define in the root model.
+
+    When no index is defined, nothing is logged, and if a bad index is
+    defined an error is raised.
+
+* \#1710 For cases when you don't want Mongoid to auto-protect the id
+  and type attributes, you can set a configuration option to turn this
+  off.
+
+        Mongoid.protect_sensitive_fields = false
+
+* \#1685 Belongs to relations now have build_ and create_ methods.
+
+        class Comment
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          belongs_to :user
+        end
+
+        comment = Comment.new
+        comment.build_user # Build a new user object
+        comment.create_user # Create a new user object
+
+* \#1684 Raise a `Mongoid::Errors::InverseNotFound` when attempting to
+  set a child on a relation without the proper inverse_of definitions
+  due to Mongoid not being able to determine it.
+
+        class Lush
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          embeds_one :whiskey, class_name: "Drink"
+        end
+
+        class Drink
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          embedded_in :alcoholic, class_name: "Lush"
+        end
+
+        lush = Lush.new
+        lush.whiskey = Drink.new # raises an InverseNotFound error.
+
+* \#1680 Polymorphic relations now use `*_type` keys in lookup queries.
+
+        class User
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          has_many :comments, as: :commentable
+        end
+
+        class Comment
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          belongs_to :commentable, polymorphic: true
+        end
+
+        user = User.find(id)
+        user.comments # Uses user.id and type "User" in the query.
+
+* \#1677 Support for parent separable polymorphic relations to the same
+  parent class is now available. This only works if set from the parent
+  side in order to know which relation the children belong to.
+  (Douwe Maan)
+
+        class Face
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          has_one :left_eye, class_name: "Eye", as: :visible
+          has_one :right_eye, class_name: "Eye", as: :visible
+        end
+
+        class Eye
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          belongs_to :visible, polymorphic: true
+        end
+
+        face = Face.new
+        right_eye = Eye.new
+        left_eye = Eye.new
+        face.right_eye = right_eye
+        face.left_eye = left_eye
+        right_eye.visible = face # Will raise an error.
+
+* \#1650 Objects that respond to `to_criteria` can now be merged into
+  existing criteria objects.
+
+        class Filter
+          def to_criteria
+            # return a Criteria object.
+          end
+        end
+
+        criteria = Person.where(title: "Sir")
+        criteria.merge(filter)
+
+* \#1635 All exceptions now provide more comprehensive errors, including
+  the problem that occured, a detail summary of why it happened, and
+  potential resolutions. Example:
+
+        (Mongoid::Errors::DocumentNotFound)
+        Problem:
+          Document not found for class Town with
+          id(s) [BSON::ObjectId('4f35781b8ad54812e1000001')].
+        Summary:
+          When calling Town.find with an id or array of ids,
+          each parameter must match a document in the database
+          or this error will be raised.
+        Resolution:
+          Search for an id that is in the database or set the
+          Mongoid.raise_not_found_error configuration option to
+          false, which will cause a nil to be returned instead
+          of raising this error.
+
+* \#1616 `Model.find_by` added which takes a hash of arugments to search
+  for in the database. If no single document is returned a DocumentNotFound
+  error is raised. (Piotr Jakubowski)
+
+        Band.find_by(name: "Depeche Mode")
+
+* \#1606 Mongoid now enables autosave, like Active Record, when adding
+  an accepts_nested_attributes_for to a relation.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          has_many :albums
+          accepts_nested_attributes_for :albums # This enables the autosave.
+        end
+
+* \#1477 Mongoid now automatically protects the id and type attributes
+  from mass assignment. You can override this (not recommended) by redefining
+  them as accessible.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          attr_accessible :id, :_id, :_type
+        end
+
+* \#1459 The identity map can be disabled now for specific code execution
+  by passing options to the unit of work.
+
+        Mongoid.unit_of_work(disable: :all) do
+          # Disables the identity map on all threads for the block.
+        end
+
+        Mongoid.unit_of_work(disable: :current) do
+          # Disables the identity map on the current thread for the block.
+        end
+
+        Mongoid.unit_of_work do
+          # Business as usual.
+        end
+
+* \#1355 Associations now can have safety options provided to them on single
+  document persistence operations.
+
+        band.albums.with(safe: true).push(album)
+        band.albums.with(safe: true).create(name: "Smiths")
+
+        album.with(safe: true).create_producer(name: "Flood")
+
+* \#1348 Eager loading is now supported on many-to-many relations.
+
+* \#1292 Remove attribute now unsets the attribute when the document is
+  saved instead of setting to nil.
+
+        band = Band.find(id)
+        band.remove_attribute(:label) # Uses $unset when the document is saved.
+
+* \#1291 Mongoid database sessions are now connected to lazily, and are
+  completely thread safe. If a new thread is created, then a new database
+  session will be created for it.
+
+* \#1291 Mongoid now supports any number of database connections as defined in
+  the mongoid.yml. For example you could have a local single server db, a
+  multi availablity zone replica set, and a shard cluster all in the same
+  application environment. Mongoid can connect to any session at any point in
+  time.
+
+* \#1291 Mongoid now allows you to persist to whatever database or collection
+  you like at runtime, on a per-query or persistence operation basis by using
+  `with`.
+
+        Band.with(collection: "artists").create(name: "Depeche Mode")
+        band.with(database: "secondary).save!
+        Band.with(collection: "artists").where(name: "Depeche Mode")
+
+* \#1291 You can now configure on a per-model basis where its documents are
+  stored with the new and improved `store_in` macro.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          store_in collection: "artists", database: "secondary", session: "replica"
+        end
+
+    This can be overridden, of course, at runtime via the `with` method.
+
+* \#1212 Embedded documents can now be popped off a relation with persistence.
+
+        band.albums.pop # Pop 1 document and persist the removal.
+        band.albums.pop(3) # Pop 3 documents and persist the removal.
+
+* \#1188 Relations now have existence predicates for simplified checking if the
+  relation is blank or not. (Andy Morris)
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          embeds_many :albums
+          embeds_one :label
+        end
+
+        band = Band.new
+        band.albums?
+        band.has_albums?
+        band.label?
+        band.has_label?
+
+* \#1188 1-1 relations now have an :autobuild option to indicate if the
+  relation should automatically be build with empty attributes upon access
+  where the relation currently does not exist. Works on embeds_one,
+  embedded_in, has_one, belongs_to. (Andy Morris)
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          has_one :label, autobuild: true
+        end
+
+        band = Band.new
+        band.label # Returns a new label with empty attributes.
+
+      When using existence checks, autobuilding will not execute.
+
+        band = Band.new
+        band.label? # Returns false, does not autobuild on a check.
+        band.has_label? # Returns false, does not autobuild on a check.
+
+* \#1081 Mongoid indexes both id and type as a compound index when providing
+  `index: true` to a polymorphic belongs_to.
+
+        class Comment
+          include Mongoid::Document
+
+          # Indexes commentable_id and commentable_type as a compound index.
+          belongs_to :commentable, polymorphic: true, index: true
+        end
+
+* \#1053 Raise a `Mongoid::Errors::UnknownAttribute` instead of no method
+  when attempting to set a field that is not defined and allow dynamic
+  fields is false. (Cyril Mougel)
+
+        Mongoid.allow_dynamic_fields = false
+
+        class Person
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :title, type: String
+        end
+
+        Person.new.age = 50 # raises the UnknownAttribute error.
+
+* \#772 Fields can now be flagged as readonly, which will only let their
+  values be set when the document is new.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :name, type: String
+          field :genre, type: String
+
+          attr_readonly :name, :genre
+        end
+
+      Readonly values are ignored when attempting to set them on persisted
+      documents, with the exception of update_attribute and remove_attribute,
+      where errors will get raised.
+
+        band = Band.create(name: "Depeche Mode")
+        band.update_attribute(:name, "Smiths") # Raises ReadonlyAttribute error.
+        band.remove_attribute(:name) # Raises ReadonlyAttribute error.
+
+
+### Major Changes (Backwards Incompatible)
+
+* Polymorphic relations can not have ids other than object ids. This is
+  because Mongoid cannot properly figure out in an optimized way what the
+  various classes on the other side of the relation store their ids as, as
+  they could potentially all be different.
+
+  This was not allowed before, but nowhere was it explicitly stated.
+
+* \#2039 Validating presence of a relation now checks both the relation and
+  the foreign key value.
+
+* Indexing syntax has changed. The first parameter is now a hash of
+  name/direction pairs with an optional second hash parameter for
+  additional options.
+
+      Normal indexing with options, directions are either 1 or -1:
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :name, type: String
+
+          index({ name: 1 }, { unique: true, background: true })
+        end
+
+      Geospacial indexing needs "2d" as its direction.
+
+        class Venue
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :location, type: Array
+
+          index location: "2d"
+        end
+
+* Custom serializable fields have revamped. Your object no longer should
+  include `Mongoid::Fields::Serializable` - instead it only needs to
+  implement 3 methods: `#mongoize`, `.demongoize` and `.evolve`.
+
+      `#mongoize` is an instance method that transforms your object into
+      a mongo-friendly value.
+
+      `.demongoize` is a class method, that can take some data from mongo
+      and instantiate and object of your custom type.
+
+      `.evolve` is a class method, that can take any object, and
+      transform it for use in a `Mongoid::Criteria`.
+
+      An example of an implementation of this for `Range`:
+
+        class Range
+
+          def mongoize
+            { "min" => first, "max" => last }
+          end
+
+          class << self
+
+            def demongoize(object)
+              Range.new(object["min"], object["max"])
+            end
+
+            def evolve(object)
+              { "$gte" => object.first, "$lte" => object.last }
+            end
+          end
+        end
+
+* `Document#changes` is no longer a hash with indifferent access.
+
+* `after_initialize` callbacks no longer cascade to children if the option
+  is set.
+
+* \#1865 `count` on the memory and mongo contexts now behave exactly the
+  same as Ruby's `count` on enumerable, and can take an object or a block.
+  This is optimized on the mongo context not to load everything in memory
+  with the exception of passing a block.
+
+        Band.where(name: "Tool").count
+        Band.where(name: "Tool").count(tool) # redundant.
+        Band.where(name: "Tool") do |doc|
+          doc.likes > 0
+        end
+
+    Note that although the signatures are the same for both the memory and
+    mongo contexts, it's recommended you only use the block syntax for the
+    memory context since the embedded documents are already loaded into
+    memory.
+
+    Also note that passing a boolean to take skip and limit into account
+    is no longer supported, as this is not necessarily a useful feature.
+
+* The `autocreate_indexes` configuration option has been removed.
+
+* `Model.defaults` no longer exists. You may get all defaults with a
+  combination of `Model.pre_processed_defaults` and
+  `Model.post_processed_defaults`.
+
+        Band.pre_processed_defaults
+        Band.post_processed_defaults
+
+* `Model.identity` and `Model.key` have been removed. For custom ids,
+  users must now override the _id field.
+
+    When the default value is a proc, the default is applied *after* all
+    other attributes are set.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :_id, type: String, default: ->{ name }
+        end
+
+    To have the default applied *before* other attributes, set `:pre_processed`
+    to true.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+          field :_id,
+            type: String,
+            pre_processed: true,
+            default: ->{ BSON::ObjectId.new.to_s }
+        end
+
+* Custom application exceptions in various languages has been removed,
+  along with the `Mongoid.add_language` feature.
+
+* Mongoid no longer supports 1.8. MRI 1.9.3 and higher, or JRuby 1.6 and
+  higher in 1.9 mode are only supported.
+
+* \#1734 When searching for documents via `Model.find` with multiple ids,
+  Mongoid will raise an error if not *all* ids are found, and tell you
+  what the missing ones were. Previously the error only got raised if
+  nothing was returned.
+
+* \#1675 Adding presence validation on a relation now enables autosave.
+  This is to ensure that when a new parent object is saved with a new
+  child and marked is valid, both are persisted to ensure a correct
+  state in the database.
+
+* \#1491 Ensure empty translations returns an empty hash on access.
+
+* \#1484 `Model#has_attribute?` now behaves the same as Active Record.
+
+* \#1471 Mongoid no longer strips any level of precision off of times.
+
+* \#1475 Active support's time zone is now used by default in time
+  serialization if it is defined.
+
+* \#1342 `Model.find` and `model.relation.find` now only take a single or
+  multiple ids. The first/last/all with a conditions hash has been removed.
+
+* \#1291 The mongoid.yml has been revamped completely, and upgrading
+  existing applications will greet you with some lovely Mongoid specific
+  configuration errors. You can re-generate a new mongoid.yml via the
+  existing rake task, which is commented to an insane degree to help you
+  with all the configuration possibilities.
+
+* \#1291 The `persist_in_safe_mode` configuration option has been removed.
+  You must now tell a database session in the mongoid.yml whether or not
+  it should persist in safe mode by default.
+
+        production:
+          sessions:
+            default:
+              database: my_app_prod
+              hosts:
+                - db.app.com:27018
+                - db.app.com:27019
+              options:
+                consistency: :eventual
+                safe: true
+
+* \#1291 `safely` and `unsafely` have been removed. Please now use `with`
+  to provide safe mode options at runtime.
+
+        Band.with(safe: true).create
+        band.with(safe: { w: 3 }).save!
+        Band.with(safe: false).create!
+
+* \#1270 Relation macros have been changed to match their AR counterparts:
+  only :has_one, :has_many, :has_and_belongs_to_many, and :belongs_to
+  exist now.
+
+* \#1268 `Model#new?` has been removed, developers must now always use
+  `Model#new_record?`.
+
+* \#1182 A reload is no longer required to refresh a relation after setting
+  the value of the foreign key field for it. Note this behaves exactly as
+  Active Record.
+
+    If the id is set, but the document for it has not been persisted, accessing
+    the relation will return empty results.
+
+    If the id is set and its document is persisted, accessing the relation
+    will return the document.
+
+    If the id is set, but the base document is not saved afterwards, then
+    reloading will return the document to its original state.
+
+* \#1093 Field serialization strategies have changed on Array, Hash, Integer
+  and Boolean to be more consistent and match AR where appropriate.
+
+    Serialization of arrays calls `Array.wrap(object)`
+    Serialization of hashes calls `Hash[object]` (to_hash on the object)
+    Serialization of integers always returns an int via `to_i`
+    Serialization of booleans defaults to false instead of nil.
+
+* \#933 `:field.size` has been renamed to `:field.count` in criteria for
+  $size not to conflict with Symbol's size method.
+
+* \#829/\#797 Mongoid scoping code has been completely rewritten, and now
+  matches the Active Record API. With this backwards incompatible change,
+  some methods have been removed or renamed.
+
+    Criteria#as_conditions and Criteria#fuse no longer exist.
+
+    Criteria#merge now only accepts another object that responds to
+    `to_criteria`.
+
+    Criteria#merge! now merges in another object without creating a new
+    criteria object.
+
+        Band.where(name: "Tool").merge!(criteria)
+
+    Named scopes and default scopes no longer take hashes as parameters.
+    From now on only criteria and procs wrapping criteria will be
+    accepted, and an error will be raised if the arguments are incorrect.
+
+        class Band
+          include Mongoid::Document
+
+          default_scope ->{ where(active: true) }
+          scope :inactive, where(active: false)
+          scope :invalid, where: { valid: false } # This will raise an error.
+        end
+
+    The 'named_scope' macro has been removed, from now on only use 'scope'.
+
+    Model.unscoped now accepts a block which will not allow default scoping
+    to be applied for any calls inside the block.
+
+        Band.unscoped do
+          Band.scoped.where(name: "Ministry")
+        end
+
+    Model.scoped now takes options that will be set directly on the criteria
+    options hash.
+
+        Band.scoped(skip: 10, limit: 20)
+
+* \#463 `Document#upsert` is no longer aliased to `Document#save` and now
+  actually performs a proper MongoDB upsert command when called. If you
+  were using this method before and want the same behaviour, please switch
+  to `save`.
+
+        band = Band.new(name: "Tool")
+        band.upsert #=> Inserts the document in the database.
+        band.name = "Placebo"
+        band.upsert #=> Updates the existing document.
+

+
+* \#2041 Don't hit the database multiple times on relation access after an
+  eager load returned zero documents.
+
+* \#1997 Cascading callbacks should be able to halt the callback chain when

+  (Cyril Mougel)
+

+  relation macros inside the namespace. (Hans Hasselberg)
+
+* \#1665/\#1672 Expand complex criteria in nested criteria selectors, like
+  \#matches. (Hans Hasselberg)
+
+* \#1335 Don't add id sorting criteria to first/last is there is already
+  sorting options on the criteria.
+

+  stored as nil in the database.
+
+* \#1997 Don't delete paranoid embedded docs via nested attributes when

+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* Ensure reloading of embedded documents retains reference to the parent.
+
+* \#1837 Always pass symbol options to the driver.
+
+* \#1836 Ensure relation counts pick up persisted document that have not
+  had the foreign key link persisted.
+
+* \#1820 Destroying embedded documents in an embeds_many should also

+  localized fields. (Cyril Mougel)
+
+* \#1727 Allow dot notation in embedded criteria to work on both embeds one

+  documents per or post save.
+
+* \#1713 Fixing === checks when comparing a class with an instance of a

+  callbacks, mirroring update functionality.
+
+* \#1536 Eager loading now happens when calling `first` or `last` on a
+  criteria if inclusions are specified.
+
+## 2.4.0
+
+### New Features
+
+* Ranges can now be passed to #where criteria to create a $gte/$lte query under the
+  covers. `Person.where(dob: start_date...end_date)`
+
+* Custom serializable fields can now override #selection to provide
+  customized serialization for criteria queries.
+
+* \#1544 Internals use `Array.wrap` instead of `to_a` now where possible.
+
+* \#1511 Presence validation now supports localized fields. (Tiago Rafael Godinho)
+
+* \#1506 `Model.set` will now accept false and nil values. (Marten Veldthuis)
+

+  get saved as strings by another application.
+
+* \#1454, \#900 Associations now have an `after_build` callback that gets
+  executed after `.build` or `build_` methods are called.
+  (Jeffrey Jones, Ryan Townsend)
+
+* \#1451 Ranges can now be any range value, not just numbers. (aupajo)
+
+* \#1448 Localization is now used when sorting. (Hans Hasselberg)
+
+* \#1422 Mongoid raises an error at yaml load if no environment is found.
+  (Tom Stuart)
+
+* \#1413 $not support added to criteria symbol methods. (Marc Weil)

+  false for raising an error when defining a named scope with the same name of
+  an existing method. (Christoph Grabo)
+
+* \#1388 `model.add_to_set` now supports adding multiple values and performs an
+  $addToSet with $each under the covers. (Christian Felder)
+
+* \#1387 Added `Model#cache_key` for use in Rails caching. (Seivan Heidari)

+
+* \#1362 Aliased fields now properly typecast in criteria.
+
+* \#1337 Array fields, including HABTM many foreign keys now have smarter dirty
+  checking and no longer perform a simple $set if the array has changed. If
+  items have only been added to the array, it performs a $pushAll. If items
+  have only been removed, it performs a $pullAll. If both additions and
+  removals have occurred it performs a $set to avoid conflicting mods.
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* Calling `Document#as_document` on a frozen document on Rubinius returns the
+  attributes instead of nil.
+
+* \#1554 Split application of default values into proc/non-procs, where
+  non-procs get executed immediately during instantiation, and procs get
+  executed after all other values are set.
+
+* \#1553 Combinations of adding and removing values from an array use a $set
+  on the current contents of the array, not the new values.
+
+* \#1546 Dirty changes should be returned in a hash with indifferent access.
+
+* \#1542 Eager loading now respects the options (ie skip, limit) provided to
+  the criteria when fetch the associations.

+### New Features
+
+* Mongoid now supports basic localized fields, storing them under the covers as a
+  hash of locale => value pairs. `field :name, localize: true`
+
+* \#1275 For applications that default safe mode to true, you can now tell a
+  single operation to persist without safe mode via #unsafely:
+  `person.unsafely.save`, `Person.unsafely.create`. (Matt Sanders)
+

+
+* \#1103 Allow developers to create their own custom complex criteria. (Ryan Ong)
+
+* Mongoid now includes all defined fields in `serializable_hash` and `to_json`

+  `Criteria#all_of(*args)` where args is multiple hash expressions.
+
+* \#1250, \#1058 Embedded documents now can have their callbacks fired on a parent

+  (pyromanic, Paul Rosania, Jak Charlton)
+
+### Major Changes
+
+* Mongoid now depends on Active Model 3.1 and higher.
+
+* Mongoid now depends on the Mongo Ruby Driver 1.4 and higher.
+
+* Mongoid requires MongoDB 2.0.0 and higher.
+
+### Resolved Issues

+
+* \#484 Validates uniqueness with multiple scopes of all types now work properly.

+  connections.
+
+## 2.2.0
+
+### New Features
+
+* Mongoid now contains eager loading in the form of `Criteria#includes(*args)`.
+  This works on has_one, has_many, belongs_to associations and requires the identity map to
+  be enabled in order to function. Set `identity_map_enabled: true` in your
+  `mongoid.yml`. Ex: `Person.where(title: "Sir").includes(:posts, :game)`
+
+* Relations can now take a module as a value to the `:extend` option. (Roman
+  Shterenzon)
+
+* Capped collections can be created by passing the options to the `#store_in`
+  macro: `Person.store_in :people, capped: true, max: 1000000`
+
+* Mongoid::Collection now supports `collection.find_and_modify`
+
+* `Document#has_attribute?` now aliases to `Document#attribute_present?`
+
+* \#930 You can now turn off the Mongoid logger via the mongoid.yml by
+doing `logger: false`
+
+* \#909 We now raise a `Mongoid::Errors::Callback` exception if persisting with
+a bang method and a callback returns false, instead of the uninformative
+validations error from before.
+
+### Major Changes
+
+* \#1173 has_many relations no longer delete all documents on a set of the relation
+ (= [ doc_one, doc_two ]) but look to the dependent option to determine what
+ behaviour should occur. :delete and :destroy will behave as before, :nullify and
+ no option specified will both nullify the old documents without deleting.
+
+* \#1142, \#767 Embedded relations no longer immediately persist atomically
+when accessed via a parent attributes set. This includes nested attributes setting
+and `attributes=` or `write_attributes`. The child changes then remain dirty and
+atomically update when save is called on them or the parent document.
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#1190 Fixed the gemspec errors due to changing README and CHANGELOG to markdown.
+
+* \#1180, \#1084, \#955 Mongoid now checks the field types rather than if the name
+contains `/id/` when trying to convert to object ids on criteria.
+
+* \#1176 Enumerable targets should always return the in memory documents first,
+when calling `#first`
+
+* \#1175 Make sure both sides of many to many relations are in sync during a create.
+
+* \#1172 Referenced enumerable relations now properly handle `#to_json`
+(Daniel Doubrovkine)
+
+* \#1040 Increased performance of class load times by removing all delegate calls
+to self.class.
+
+## 2.1.9

+* \#1159 Fixed build blocks not to cancel out each other when nested.
+
+* \#1154 Don't delete many-to-many documents on empty array set.
+
+* \#1153 Retain parent document reference in after callbacks.
+
+* \#1151 Fix associated validation infinite loop on self referencing documents.
+
+* \#1150 Validates associated on `belongs_to` is `false` by default.
+
+* \#1149 Fixed metadata setting on `belongs_to` relations.
+
+* \#1145 Metadata inverse should return `nil` if `inverse_of` was set as `nil`.
+
+* \#1139 Enumerable targets now quack like arrays.
+
+* \#1136 Setting `belongs_to` parent to `nil` no longer deletes the parent.
+
+* \#1120 Don't call `in_memory` on relations if they don't respond to it.
+
+* \#1075 Set `self` in default procs to the document instance.
+
+* \#1072 Writing attributes for nested documents can take a hash or array of hashes.
+
+* \#990 Embedded documents can use a single `embedded_in` with multiple parent definitions.
+
+## 2.1.8

+
+* \#661 Fixed metadata caching on embedded documents.
+
+* \#595 Fixed relation reload flagging.
+
+* \#410 Moving documents from one relation to another now works as expected.

+This was a specific release to fix MRI 1.8.7 breakages introduced by 2.1.6.
+
+## 2.1.6

+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#1021, \#719 Many to many relations dont trigger extra database queries when pushing new documents.
+
+* \#607 Calling `create` on large associations does not load the entire relation.
+
+* \#1064 `Mongoid::Paranoia` should respect `unscoped` and `scoped`.
+
+* \#1026 `model#update_attribute` now can update booleans to `false`.
+
+* \#618 Crack XML library breaks Mongoid by adding `#attributes` method to the `String` class. (Stephen McGinty)
+
+## 2.1.0
+
+### Major Changes
+
+* Mongoid now requires MongoDB 1.8.x in order to properly support the `#bit` and `#rename` atomic operations.
+
+* Traditional slave support has been removed from Mongoid. Replica sets should be used in place of traditional master and slave setups.
+
+* Custom field serialization has changed. Please see [serializable](https://github.com/mongoid/mongoid/blob/master/lib/mongoid/fields/serializable.rb) for changes.
+
+* The dirty attribute tracking has been switched to use ActiveModel, this brings many bug fixes and changes:
+
+  * \#756 After callbacks and observers see what was changed instead of changes just made being in previous_changes
+
+  * \#434 Documents now are flagged as dirty when brand new or the state on instantiation differs from the database state. This is consistent with ActiveRecord.
+
+  * \#323 Mongoid now supports [field]_will_change! from ActiveModel::Dirty
+
+* Mongoid model preloading in development mode now defaults to `false`.
+
+* `:autosave => true` on relational associations now saves on update as well as create.

+
+* \#587 Added order preference to many and many to many associations. (Gregory Man)
+
+* Added ability to chain `order_by` statements. (Gregory Man)
+
+* \#961 Allow arbitrary `Mongo::Connection` options to pass through `Mongoid::Config::Database` object. (Morgan Nelson)
+
+* Enable `autosave` for many to many references. (Dave Krupinski)
+
+* The following explicit atomic operations have been added: `Model#bit`, `Model#pop`, `Model#pull`, `Model#push_all`, `Model#rename`, `Model#unset`.
+
+* Added exception translations for Hindi. (Sukeerthi Adiga)
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+* \#974 Fix `attribute_present?` to work correctly then attribute value is `false`, thanks to @nickhoffman. (Gregory Man)
+
+* \#960 create indexes rake task is not recognizing a lot of mongoid models because it has problems guessing their model names from filenames. (Tobias Schlottke)
+
+* \#874 Deleting from a M-M reference is one-sided. (nickhoffman, davekrupinski)
+
+* Replace deprecated `class_inheritable_hash` dropped in Rails 3.1+. (Konstantin Shabanov)
+
+* Fix inconsistent state when replacing an entire many to many relation.
+
+* Don't clobber inheritable attributes when adding subclass field inheritance. (Dave Krupinski)
+
+* \#914 Querying embedded documents with `$or` selector. (Max Golovnia)

+
+* \#837 When `allow_dynamic_fields` is set to `false` and loading an embedded document with an unrecognized field, an exception is raised.
+
+* \#963 Initializing array of embedded documents via hash regressed (Chris Griego, Morgan Nelson)
+
+* `Mongoid::Config.reset` resets the options to their default values.
+
+* `Mongoid::Fields.defaults` is memoized for faster instantiation of models.
