Did I miss some release note somewhere? I used to be able to, from the  
Rails console, get paths and urls using:

app.posts\_path or app.post\_path§

Now, trying to do that, I get an error stating that those methods are  
protected?

irb(main):001:0\> app.posts\_path  
NoMethodError: protected method `posts\_path’ called for  
#actiondispatch::integration::session:0x3bf67c0

(Windows, Rails 3beta3, Ruby 1.9.1p378)

Thanks
