Hi,

singular resources used to assume singular controller naming, as in:

map.resources :session  
GET /session/ {:action=\>“show”, :controller=\>“session”}

did this change in edge? My routes broke after updating, and now I get:

GET /session/ {:action=\>“show”, :controller=\>“sessions”}

(‘sessions’ instead of ‘session’)

Was that a decision made, or might this be a bug?

I think is a wanted change.
