 The other branches (`rails-4`, `rails-4.1`, and `rails-4.2`) were each used for
 developing and running Ransack with the latest upcoming version of Rails at the
-time. They are lighter and somewhat faster-running because they do not have to
+time. They are smaller and possibly slightly faster because they do not have to
 support previous versions of Rails and Active Record. Once support for that
 Rails version is merged from the branch into Ransack master, the branch is no
 longer actively maintained -- unless the open source community submits pull
 requests to maintain them. You are welcome to do so!

+Scopes are a recent addition to Ransack and currently have 2 caveats: First, if
+you are using a scope with associations, for now you'll need to define the
+scope in the parent table model, not in the child model. Second, scopes on
+arrays of values are not yet working correctly; in this case, it may be better
+to use Ransackers instead.
