 ## Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased) ##
 
+*   Allow `value_method` and `text_method` arguments from `collection_select` and
+    `options_from_collection_for_select` to receive an object that responds to `:call`,
+    such as a `proc`, to evaluate the option in the current element context. This works
+    the same way with `collection_radio_buttons` and `collection_check_boxes`.
+
+    *Carlos Antonio da Silva + Rafael Mendonça França*
+
+*   Add `collection_check_boxes` form helper, similar to `collection_select`:
+    Example:
+
+      collection_check_boxes :post, :author_ids, Author.all, :id, :name
+      # Outputs something like:
+      <input id="post_author_ids_1" name="post[author_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="1" />
+      <label class="collection_check_boxes" for="post_author_ids_1">D. Heinemeier Hansson</label>
+      <input id="post_author_ids_2" name="post[author_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="2" />
+      <label class="collection_check_boxes" for="post_author_ids_2">D. Thomas</label>
+      <input name="post[author_ids][]" type="hidden" value="" />
+
+    The label/check_box pairs can be customized with a block.
