-
Crow’s foot notation (also known as the Information Engineering notation) can be used by adding ‘notation=crowsfoot’ to the ‘rake erd’ command (contributed by Jeremy Holland).
-
Display more helpful error message when the application models could not be loaded successfully by the ‘rake erd’ task (reported by Greg Weber).
-
Added the ability to disable HTML markup in node labels (markup=false). This causes .dot files to be compatible with OmniGraffle, which otherwise fails to import graphs with HTML node labels (issue reported by Lucas Florio, implementation based on template by Troy Anderson).
-
Prevent models named after Graphviz reserved words (Node, Edge) from causing errors in .dot files (reported by gguthrie).
-
Improved error messages when Graphviz is throwing errors (reported by Michael Irwin).
-
Display the scale of decimal attributes when set. A decimal attribute with precision 5 and scale 2 is now indicated with (5,2).
-
Fixed deprecation warnings for edge Rails (upcoming 3.1).
-
Fix processing of associations with class_name set to absolute module paths.
-
Adjust model loading process to include models in non-standard paths eagerly.
-
Support to optionally display single table inheritance relationships (inheritance=true).
-
Support to optionally display polymorphic associations (polymorphism=true).
-
Adjustments to ‘advanced’ style so that it matches original Bachman style, and therefore now called ‘bachman’.
-
Ignore models without tables (reported by Mark Chapman).
-
Mutual indirect relationships are now combined.
-
Changed API for diagram generation.
-
Restructured classes and renamed several API properties and methods.
-
Added new edge type to describe single table inheritance and polymorphic associations: Specialization.
-
Added compatibility for Active Record 3.1 (beta), removed dependency on Arel.
-
Rubinius compatibility.

-
Altered the type descriptions of attributes.
-

-
Improved internal logic to determine the cardinality of relationships.
-
More versatile API that allows you to inspect relationships and their cardinalities.

-
Bundled examples based on actual applications.
-
Added simple way to create your own type of diagrams with a tiny amount of code.
-
Improved internal API and documentation.
