Forum: Ruby Rails 3.2.8.rc1 has been released

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 Mendona Frana*

*   Reverted the deprecation of `:disable_with`. *Rafael Mendona Frana*

*   Reverted the deprecation of `:mouseover` option to `image_tag`.
*Rafael Mendona Frana*

*   Reverted the deprecation of `button_to_function` and
`link_to_function` helpers. *Rafael Mendona Frana*


*ActiveModel*

* No changes


*ActiveRecord*

*   Removes the deprecation of `update_attribute`. *fxn*

*   Reverted the deprecation of `composed_of`. *Rafael Mendona Frana*

*   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 Mendona Frana*

*   update_columns added. *Sebastin Martnez*


*ActiveResource*

* No changes


*ActiveSupport*

*   Reverted the deprecation of ActiveSupport::JSON::Variable. *Rafael
Mendona Frana*


*Railties*

* No changes

So things are going to be deprecated by 4.0 and removed in 5.0? Is
there anywhere to see the new deprecation policy?

Cheers,
