I upgraded a project to a more recent version of edge today and in my  
testing the log started throwing these warnings:

DEPRECATION WARNING: start\_form\_tag is deprecated and will be removed  
from  
Rails 2.0 See [http://www.rubyonrails.org/deprecation](http://www.rubyonrails.org/deprecation) for details.

The url shows no useful information. I’m a little suprised these  
would  
just ‘disappear’ from 2.0 as they are scaffold generated calls that  
worked a  
week ago with no warnings, but I’m more curious if there is a different  
list/group I should be reading to find out about this stuff?

So what is the correct, new and improved syntax/construct for forms?

The deprecation page will be fleshed out for the release of 1.2. You  
can keep up with edge rails via the changesets and changelogs:

I’m much less excited now …

I was confusing (in my mind) 2.0 with 1.2 –

I can manage to hit all my forms by 2.0 …

What did you replace start\_form\_tag and end\_form\_tag with?
