Edge Rails: Array#random_element
May 24th
Array#rand is deprecated in favor of Array#random_element and will be removed in Rails 3.
As per the comment added to the commit:
Array#rand is deprecated because it masks Kernel#rand within the Array class itself, which may be used by a 3rd party library extending Array in turn. See https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/4555

Edge Rails: Now define your plugin’s routes in plugin’s config/routes.rb
Nov 28th
If you wrote/writing a rails plugin that need to have an entry in rails routing, you need not to ask your plugin users to make that entry in RAILS_ROOT/config/routes.rb manually any more. In the latest version of rails you can add your custum routes in your plugin config/routes.rb file. Rails will automatically load those routes.
