I have run into a problem with 1.1 that I just ran into. I have  
component model thats in a namespace that references a regular model  
thats not.

News::Event #under componets/news/event.rb  
…  
belongs\_to :state #where state.rb is just under app/models

when I go to try and reference this I get an ‘unitialized constant  
State’ error. My guess is that its looking for News::State instead of  
just State. I tried adding :class\_name =\> “State” to the relationship,  
but that doesn’t do anything.

Any suggestions? This was working before 1.1.

Thanks!

One quick addtion, this seems to only be affecting my mailer class  
model. All the other views seem to be working correctly. Odd…
