3.0.0 (branch: master)

New Features

#1976 Eager loading no longer produces queries when the base query returns zero results.
Model.find_by now accepts a block and will yield to the found document if it is not nil.
```
  Band.find_by(name: "Depeche Mode") do |band|
    band.likes = 100
  end
```
#1958/#1798 Documents and belongs_to relations now support touch.
```
  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    include Mongoid::Timestamps::Updated
    belongs_to :label, touch: true
  end
```
Update the document's updated_at timestamp to the current time. This will also update any touchable relation's timestamp as well.
```
  Band.first.touch
```
Update a specific time field along with the udpated_at.
```
  Band.first.touch(:founded)
```
This fires no validations or callbacks.

Mongoid now supports MongoDB's $findAndModify command.

  Band.find_and_modify("$inc" => { likes: 1 })

  Band.desc(:name).only(:name).find_and_modify(
    { "$inc" => { likes: 1 }}, new: true
  )

#1906 Mongoid will retrieve documents from the identity map when providing multiple ids to find. (Hans Hasselberg)
#1903 Mongoid raises an error if provided a javascript expression to a where clause on an embedded collection. (Sebastien Azimi)
Aggregations now adhere to both a Mongoid API and their enumerable counterparts where applicable.
```
  Band.min(:likes)
  Band.min do |a, b|
    a.likes <=> b.likes
  end

  Band.max(:likes)
  Band.max do |a, b|
    a.likes <=> b.likes
  end
```
Note that when providing a field name and no block, a single numeric value will be returned, but when providing a block, a document will be returned which has the min/max value. This is since Ruby's Enumerable API dictates when providing a block, the matching element is returned.

When providing a block, all documents will be loaded into memory. When providing a symbol, the execution is handled via map/reduce on the server.

A kitchen sink aggregation method is now provided, to get everything in in a single call for a field.

  Band.aggregates(:likes)
  # =>
  #   {
  #     "count" => 2.0,
  #     "max" => 1000.0,
  #     "min" => 500.0,
  #     "sum" => 1500.0,
  #     "avg" => 750.0
  #   }

A DSL off the criteria API is now provided for map/reduce operations as a convenience.

  Band.where(name: "Tool").map_reduce(map, reduce).out(inline: 1)
  Band.map_reduce(map, reduce).out(replace: "coll-name")
  Band.map_reduce(map, reduce).out(inline: 1).finalize(finalize)

Mongoid now uses Origin for its Criteria API. See the Origin repo and API docs for the documentation.
#1861 Mongoid now raises an AmbiguousRelationship error when it cannot determine the inverse of a relation and there are multiple potential candidates. (Hans Hasselberg)
You can now perform an explain directly from criteria.
```
  Band.where(name: "Depeche Mode").explain
```
#1856 Push on one to many relations can now be chained.
```
  band.albums.push(undertow).push(aenima)
```
#1842 MultiParameterAttributes now supported aliased fields. (Anton Orel)
#1833 If an embedded document is attempted to be saved with no parent defined, Mongoid now will raise a Mongoid::Errors::NoParent exception.

Added an ORM-agnostic way to get the field names

  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    field :name, type: String
  end

  Band.attribute_names

#1831 find_or_create_by on relations now takes mass assignment and type options. (Tatsuya Ono)

  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    embeds_many :albums
  end

  band.albums.find_or_create_by({ name: "101" }, LP)

#1818 Add capability to choose the key where your embeds_many relation is stores. (Cyril Mougel)

  class User
    include Mongoid::Document
    field :name, type: String
    embeds_many :prefs, class_name: "Preference", store_as: 'my_preferences'
  end

  user.prefs.build(value: "ok")
  user.save
  # document saves in MongoDB as:
  # { "name" => "foo", "my_preferences" => [{ "value" => "ok" }]}

#1806 Model.find_or_create_by and Model.find_or_initialize_by can now take documents as paramters for belongs_to relations.
```
  person = Person.first
  Game.find_or_create_by(person: person)
```

#1774 Relations now have a :restrict option for dependent relations which will raise an error when attempting to delete a parent that still has children on it. (Hans Hasselberg)

  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    has_many :albums, dependent: :restrict
  end

  band = Band.first
  band.albums << Albums.first
  band.delete # Raises DeleteRestriction error.

#1764 Add method to check if field differs from the default value.

  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    field :name, type: String, default: "New"
  end

  band = Band.first
  band.name_changed_from_default?

#1759 Invalid fields error messages have been updated to show the source and location of the original method. The new message is:

  Problem:
    Defining a field named 'crazy_method' is not allowed.
  Summary:
    Defining this field would override the method 'crazy_method',
    which would cause issues with expectations around the original
    method and cause extremely hard to debug issues.
    The original method was defined in:
      Object: MyModule
      File: /path/to/my/module.rb
      Line: 8
  Resolution:
    Use Mongoid.destructive_fields to see what names are
    not allowed, and don't use these names. These include names
    that also conflict with core Ruby methods on Object, Module,
    Enumerable, or included gems that inject methods into these
    or Mongoid internals.

#1753/#1649 A setter and getter for has_many relations to set it's children is now provided. (Piotr Jakubowski)

  class Album
    include Mongoid::Document
    has_many :engineers
  end

  class Engineer
    include Mongoid::Document
    belongs_to :album
  end

  album = Album.first
  engineer = Engineer.first
  album.engineer_ids = [ engineer.id ]
  album.engineer_ids # Returns the ids of the engineers.

#1741 Mongoid now provides a rake task to force remove indexes for environments where Mongoid manages the index definitions and the removal should be automated. (Hans Hasselberg)
```
  rake db:force_remove_indexes
  rake db:mongoid:force_remove_indexes
```
#1726 Mongoid.load! now accepts an optional second argument for the environment to load. This takes precedence over any environment variable that is set if provided.
```
  Mongoid.load!("/path/to/mongoid.yml", :development)
```

#1724 Mongoid now supports regex fields.

  class Rule
    include Mongoid::Document
    field :pattern, type: Regexp, default: /[^abc]/
  end

#1714/#1706 Added better logging on index creation. (Hans Hasselberg)

When an index is present on a root document model:
```
  Creating indexes on: Model for: name, dob.
```
When an index is defined on an embedded model:
```
  Index ignored on: Address, please define in the root model.
```
When no index is defined, nothing is logged, and if a bad index is defined an error is raised.
#1710 For cases when you don't want Mongoid to auto-protect the id and type attributes, you can set a configuration option to turn this off.
```
  Mongoid.protect_sensitive_fields = false
```

#1685 Belongs to relations now have build_ and create_ methods.

  class Comment
    include Mongoid::Document
    belongs_to :user
  end

  comment = Comment.new
  comment.build_user # Build a new user object
  comment.create_user # Create a new user object

#1684 Raise a Mongoid::Errors::InverseNotFound when attempting to set a child on a relation without the proper inverse_of definitions due to Mongoid not being able to determine it.

  class Lush
    include Mongoid::Document
    embeds_one :whiskey, class_name: "Drink"
  end

  class Drink
    include Mongoid::Document
    embedded_in :alcoholic, class_name: "Lush"
  end

  lush = Lush.new
  lush.whiskey = Drink.new # raises an InverseNotFound error.

#1680 Polymorphic relations now use *_type keys in lookup queries.

  class User
    include Mongoid::Document
    has_many :comments, as: :commentable
  end

  class Comment
    include Mongoid::Document
    belongs_to :commentable, polymorphic: true
  end

  user = User.find(id)
  user.comments # Uses user.id and type "User" in the query.

#1677 Support for parent separable polymorphic relations to the same parent class is now available. This only works if set from the parent side in order to know which relation the children belong to. (Douwe Maan)

  class Face
    include Mongoid::Document
    has_one :left_eye, class_name: "Eye", as: :visible
    has_one :right_eye, class_name: "Eye", as: :visible
  end

  class Eye
    include Mongoid::Document
    belongs_to :visible, polymorphic: true
  end

  face = Face.new
  right_eye = Eye.new
  left_eye = Eye.new
  face.right_eye = right_eye
  face.left_eye = left_eye
  right_eye.visible = face # Will raise an error.

#1650 Objects that respond to to_criteria can now be merged into existing criteria objects.

  class Filter
    def to_criteria
      # return a Criteria object.
    end
  end

  criteria = Person.where(title: "Sir")
  criteria.merge(filter)

#1635 All exceptions now provide more comprehensive errors, including the problem that occured, a detail summary of why it happened, and potential resolutions. Example:

  (Mongoid::Errors::DocumentNotFound)
  Problem:
    Document not found for class Town with
    id(s) [BSON::ObjectId('4f35781b8ad54812e1000001')].
  Summary:
    When calling Town.find with an id or array of ids,
    each parameter must match a document in the database
    or this error will be raised.
  Resolution:
    Search for an id that is in the database or set the
    Mongoid.raise_not_found_error configuration option to
    false, which will cause a nil to be returned instead
    of raising this error.

#1616 Model.find_by added which takes a hash of arugments to search for in the database. If no single document is returned a DocumentNotFound error is raised. (Piotr Jakubowski)
```
  Band.find_by(name: "Depeche Mode")
```

#1606 Mongoid now enables autosave, like Active Record, when adding an accepts_nested_attributes_for to a relation.

  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    has_many :albums
    accepts_nested_attributes_for :albums # This enables the autosave.
  end

#1477 Mongoid now automatically protects the id and type attributes from mass assignment. You can override this (not recommended) by redefining them as accessible.
```
  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    attr_accessible :id, :_id, :_type
  end
```

#1459 The identity map can be disabled now for specific code execution by passing options to the unit of work.

  Mongoid.unit_of_work(disable: :all) do
    # Disables the identity map on all threads for the block.
  end

  Mongoid.unit_of_work(disable: :current) do
    # Disables the identity map on the current thread for the block.
  end

  Mongoid.unit_of_work do
    # Business as usual.
  end

#1355 Associations now can have safety options provided to them on single document persistence operations.

  band.albums.safely.push(album)
  band.albums.safely.create(name: "Smiths")

  album.safely.create_producer(name: "Flood")

#1348 Eager loading is now supported on many-to-many relations.
#1292 Remove attribute now unsets the attribute when the document is saved instead of setting to nil.
```
  band = Band.find(id)
  band.remove_attribute(:label) # Uses $unset when the document is saved.
```
#1291 Mongoid database sessions are now connected to lazily, and are completely thread safe. If a new thread is created, then a new database session will be created for it.
#1291 Mongoid now supports any number of database connections as defined in the mongoid.yml. For example you could have a local single server db, a multi availablity zone replica set, and a shard cluster all in the same application environment. Mongoid can connect to any session at any point in time.

#1291 Mongoid now allows you to persist to whatever database or collection you like at runtime, on a per-query or persistence operation basis by using with.

  Band.with(collection: "artists").create(name: "Depeche Mode")
  band.with(database: "secondary).save!
  Band.with(collection: "artists").where(name: "Depeche Mode")

#1291 You can now configure on a per-model basis where it's documents are stored with the new and improved store_in macro.
```
  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    store_in collection: "artists", database: "secondary", session: "replica"
  end
```
This can be overridden, of course, at runtime via the with method.

#1212 Embedded documents can now be popped off a relation with persistence.

  band.albums.pop # Pop 1 document and persist the removal.
  band.albums.pop(3) # Pop 3 documents and persist the removal.

#1188 Relations now have existence predicates for simplified checking if the relation is blank or not. (Andy Morris)

  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    embeds_many :albums
    embeds_one :label
  end

  band = Band.new
  band.albums?
  band.has_albums?
  band.label?
  band.has_label?

#1188 1-1 relations now have an :autobuild option to indicate if the relation should automatically be build with empty attributes upon access where the relation currently does not exist. Works on embeds_one, embedded_in, has_one, belongs_to. (Andy Morris)

  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    has_one :label, autobuild: true
  end

  band = Band.new
  band.label # Returns a new label with empty attributes.

When using existence checks, autobuilding will not execute.

  band = Band.new
  band.label? # Returns false, does not autobuild on a check.
  band.has_label? # Returns false, does not autobuild on a check.

#1081 Mongoid indexes both id and type as a compound index when providing index: true to a polymorphic belongs_to.

  class Comment
    include Mongoid::Document

    # Indexes commentable_id and commentable_type as a compound index.
    belongs_to :commentable, polymorphic: true, index: true
  end

#1053 Raise a Mongoid::Errors::UnknownAttribute instead of no method when attempting to set a field that is not defined and allow dynamic fields is false. (Cyril Mougel)

  Mongoid.allow_dynamic_fields = false

  class Person
    include Mongoid::Document
    field :title, type: String
  end

  Person.new.age = 50 # raises the UnknownAttribute error.

#772 Fields can now be flagged as readonly, which will only let their values be set when the document is new.

  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    field :name, type: String
    field :genre, type: String

    attr_readonly :name, :genre
  end

Readonly values are ignored when attempting to set them on persisted
documents, with the exception of update_attribute and remove_attribute,
where errors will get raised.

  band = Band.create(name: "Depeche Mode")
  band.update_attribute(:name, "Smiths") # Raises ReadonlyAttribute error.
  band.remove_attribute(:name) # Raises ReadonlyAttribute error.

Major Changes (Backwards Incompatible)

Custom serializable fields have revamped. Your object no longer should include Mongoid::Fields::Serializable - instead it only needs to implement 3 methods: #mongoize, .demongoize and .evolve.

`#mongoize` is an instance method that transforms your object into
a mongo-friendly value.

`.demongoize` is a class method, that can take some data from mongo
and instantiate and object of your custom type.

`.evolve` is a class method, that can take any object, and
transform it for use in a `Mongoid::Criteria`.

An example of an implementation of this for `Range`:

  class Range

    def mongoize
      { "min" => first, "max" => last }
    end

    class << self

      def demongoize(object)
        Range.new(object["min"], object["max"])
      end

      def evolve(object)
        { "$gte" => object.first, "$lte" => object.last }
      end
    end
  end

Document#changes is no longer a hash with indifferent access.
after_initialize callbacks no longer cascade to children if the option is set.
#1865 count on the memory and mongo contexts now behave exactly the same as Ruby's count on enumerable, and can take an object or a block. This is optimized on the mongo context not to load everything in memory with the exception of passing a block.
```
  Band.where(name: "Tool").count
  Band.where(name: "Tool").count(tool) # redundant.
  Band.where(name: "Tool") do |doc|
    doc.likes > 0
  end
```
Note that although the signatures are the same for both the memory and mongo contexts, it's recommended you only use the block syntax for the memory context since the embedded documents are already loaded into memory.

Also note that passing a boolean to take skip and limit into account is no longer supported, as this is not necessarily a useful feature.
The autocreate_indexes configuration option has been removed.
Model.defaults no longer exists. You may get all defaults with a combination of Model.pre_processed_defaults and Model.post_processed_defaults.
```
  Band.pre_processed_defaults
  Band.post_processed_defaults
```
Model.identity and Model.key have been removed. For custom ids, users must now override the _id field.

When the default value is a proc, the default is applied after all other attributes are set.
```
  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    field :_id, type: String, default: ->{ name }
  end
```
To have the default applied before other attributes, set :pre_processed to true.
```
  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document
    field :_id,
      type: String,
      pre_processed: true,
      default: ->{ BSON::ObjectId.new.to_s }
  end
```
Custom application exceptions in various languages has been removed, along with the Mongoid.add_language feature.
Mongoid no longer supports 1.8 syntax. 1.9.x or other vms running in 1.9 mode is now only supported.
#1734 When searching for documents via Model.find with multiple ids, Mongoid will raise an error if not all ids are found, and tell you what the missing ones were. Previously the error only got raised if nothing was returned.
#1675 Adding presence validation on a relation now enables autosave. This is to ensure that when a new parent object is saved with a new child and marked is valid, both are persisted to ensure a correct state in the database.
#1484 Model#has_attribute? now behaves the same as Active Record.
#1471 Mongoid no longer strips any level of precision off of times.
#1475 Active support's time zone is now used by default in time serialization if it is defined.
#1342 Model.find and model.relation.find now only take a single or multiple ids. The first/last/all with a conditions hash has been removed.
#1291 The mongoid.yml has been revamped completely, and upgrading existing applications will greet you with some lovely Mongoid specific configuration errors. You can re-generate a new mongoid.yml via the existing rake task, which is commented to an insane degree to help you with all the configuration possibilities.

#1291 The persist_in_safe_mode configuration option has been removed. You must now tell a database session in the mongoid.yml whether or not it should persist in safe mode by default.

  production:
    sessions:
      default:
        database: my_app_prod
        hosts:
          - db.app.com:27018
          - db.app.com:27019
        options:
          consistency: :eventual
          safe: true

#1291 safely and unsafely have been removed. Please now use with to provide safe mode options at runtime.

  Band.with(safe: true).create
  band.with(safe: { w: 3 }).save!
  Band.with(safe: false).create!

#1270 Relation macros have been changed to match their AR counterparts: only :has_one, :has_many, :has_and_belongs_to_many, and :belongs_to exist now.
#1268 Model#new? has been removed, developers must now always use Model#new_record?.
#1182 A reload is no longer required to refresh a relation after setting the value of the foreign key field for it. Note this behaves exactly as Active Record.

If the id is set, but the document for it has not been persisted, accessing the relation will return empty results.

If the id is set and it's document is persisted, accessing the relation will return the document.

If the id is set, but the base document is not saved afterwards, then reloading will return the document to it's original state.
#1093 Field serialization strategies have changed on Array, Hash, Integer and Boolean to be more consistent and match AR where appropriate.

Serialization of arrays calls Array.wrap(object) Serialization of hashes calls Hash[object] (to_hash on the object) Serialization of integers always returns an int via to_i Serialization of booleans defaults to false instead of nil.
#933 :field.size has been renamed to :field.count in criteria for $size not to conflict with Symbol's size method.
#829/#797 Mongoid scoping code has been completely rewritten, and now matches the Active Record API. With this backwards incompatible change, some methods have been removed or renamed.

Criteria#as_conditions and Criteria#fuse no longer exist.

Criteria#merge now only accepts another object that responds to to_criteria.

Criteria#merge! now merges in another object without creating a new criteria object.
```
  Band.where(name: "Tool").merge!(criteria)
```
Named scopes and default scopes no longer take hashes as parameters. From now on only criteria and procs wrapping criteria will be accepted, and an error will be raised if the arguments are incorrect.
```
  class Band
    include Mongoid::Document

    default_scope ->{ where(active: true) }
    scope :inactive, where(active: false)
    scope :invalid, where: { valid: false } # This will raise an error.
  end
```
The 'named_scope' macro has been removed, from now on only use 'scope'.

Model.unscoped now accepts a block which will not allow default scoping to be applied for any calls inside the block.
```
  Band.unscoped do
    Band.scoped.where(name: "Ministry")
  end
```
Model.scoped now takes options that will be set directly on the criteria options hash.
```
  Band.scoped(skip: 10, limit: 20)
```

2.2.0

New Features

Mongoid now contains eager loading in the form of Criteria#includes(*args). This works on has_one, has_many, belongs_to associations and requires the identity map to be enabled in order to function.
