## 3.0.1 (Unreleased)

  - [#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.

    informs users that the non-bang versions of the methods will be removed in version `3.1.0`.

## 3.0.0

  - [#305](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/305) - `PaperTrail::VERSION` should be loaded at runtime.
  - [#295](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/295) - Explicitly specify table name for version class when

  - [#289](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/289) - Use `ActiveSupport::Concern` for implementation of base functionality on
    `PaperTrail::Version` class. Increases flexibility and makes it easier to use custom version classes with multiple `ActiveRecord` connections.
  - [#288](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/288) - Change all scope declarations to class methods on the `PaperTrail::Version`
    class. Fixes usability when `PaperTrail::Version.abstract_class? == true`.
  - [#287](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/287) - Support for
    [PostgreSQL's JSON Type](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/datatype-json.html) for storing `object` and `object_changes`.
  - [#281](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/281) - `Rails::Controller` helper will return `false` for the
    `paper_trail_enabled_for_controller` method if `PaperTrail.enabled? == false`.

  - [#235](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/235) - Dropped unnecessary secondary sort on `versions` association.
  - [#216](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/216) - Added helper & extension for [RSpec](https://github.com/rspec/rspec),

  - [#207](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/207) - Versions for `'create'` events are now created with `create!` instead of 
    `create` so that an exception gets raised if it is appropriate to do so.

  - [#165](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/165) - Namespaced the `Version` class under the `PaperTrail` module.

  - Renamed the default serializers from `PaperTrail::Serializers::Yaml` and `PaperTrail::Serializers::Json` to the capitalized forms,
    `PaperTrail::Serializers::YAML` and `PaperTrail::Serializers::JSON`.

## 2.7.2

  - [#228](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/issues/228) - Refactored default `user_for_paper_trail` method implementation
    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

  - [#174](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/174) - The `event` field on the versions table can now be customized.

## 2.7.1

    [#180](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/180)).
  - [#190](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/190) - Fixed compatibility with

    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.
  - [#176](https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/pull/176) - Force metadata calls for attributes to use current value
    if attribute value is changing.

  - [#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
