## 3.0.2

  - [#357](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/357) - If a `Version` instance is reified and then persisted at that state,
    it's timestamp attributes for update should still get `touch`ed.
  - [#351](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/351) / [#352](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/352) -
    `PaperTrail::Rails::Controller` should hook into all controller types, and should not get loaded unless `ActionController` is.
  - [#346](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/346) - `user_for_paper_trail` method should accommodate different types
    for return values from `current_user` method.
  - [#344](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/344) - Gem is now tested against `MySQL` and `PostgreSQL` in addition to `SQLite`.
  - [#317](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/317) / [#314](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/314) -
    `versions` should default to ordering via the primary key if it is an integer to avoid timestamp comparison issues.
  - `PaperTrail::Cleaner.clean_versions!` should group versions by `PaperTrail.timestamp_field` when deciding which ones to
    keep / destroy, instead of always grouping by the `created_at` field.
  - If a `Version` instance is reified and then persisted at that state, it's source version
    (`model_instance#version_association_name`, usually `model_instance#version`) will get cleared since persisting it causes it to
    become the live instance.
  - If `destroy` actions are tracked for a versioned model, invoking `destroy` on the model will cause the corresponding version that
    gets generated to be assigned as the source version (`model_instance#version_association_name`, usually `model_instance#version`).

## 3.0.1

    with Rails `4.1.0.rc1`.
  - [#334](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/334) - Add small-scope `whodunnit` method to `PaperTrail::Model::InstanceMethods`.
  - [#329](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/329) - Add `touch_with_version` method to `PaperTrail::Model::InstanceMethods`,
    to allow for generating a version `touch`ing a model.
  - [#328](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/328) / [#326](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/326) /
    [#307](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/307) - `Model.paper_trail_enabled_for_model?` and
    `model_instance.without_versioning` is now thread-safe.
  - [#316](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/316) - `user_for_paper_trail` should default to `current_user.try(:id)`
    instead of `current_user` (if `current_user` is defined).
  - [#313](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/313) - Make the `Rails::Controller` helper compatible with
    `ActionController::API` for compatibility with the [`rails-api`](https://github.com/rails-api/rails-api) gem.
  - [#312](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/312) - Fix RSpec `with_versioning` class level helper method.
  - `model_instance.without_versioning` now yields the `model_instance`, enabling syntax like this:
    `model_instance.without_versioning { |obj| obj.update_attributes(:name => 'value') }`.
  - Deprecated `Model.paper_trail_on` and `Model.paper_trail_off` in favor of bang versions of the methods. Deprecation warning
    informs users that the non-bang versions of the methods will be removed in version `3.1.0`.

  - [#207](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/207) - Versions for `'create'` events are now created with `create!` instead of

## 2.7.2

    so that `current_user` only gets invoked if it is defined.
  - [#219](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/219) - Fixed issue where attributes stored with `nil` value might not get
    reified properly depending on the way the serializer worked.
  - [#213](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/213) - Added a `version_limit` option to the `PaperTrail::Config` options

    Controller metadata methods should only be evaluated when `paper_trail_enabled_for_controller == true`.
  - [#177](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/177)/[#178](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/178) -
    Factored out `version_key` into it's own method to prevent `ConnectionNotEstablished` error from getting thrown in
    instances where `has_paper_trail` is declared on class prior to ActiveRecord establishing a connection.

  - [#160](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/160) - Fixed failing tests and resolved out of date dependency issues.
  - [#157](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/157) - Refactored `class_attribute` names on the `ClassMethods` module
