# News

The noteworthy changes for each Scenic version are included here. For a complete
changelog, see the [CHANGELOG] for each version via the version links.

[CHANGELOG]: https://github.com/thoughtbot/scenic/commits/master

## [1.1.1] - January 29, 2016

### Fixed
- Some schema operations were failing with a `PG::ConnectionBad: connection is
  closed` error. This has been fixed by ensuring we grab a fresh connection for
  all operations.

[1.1.1]: https://github.com/thoughtbot/scenic/compare/v1.1.0...v1.1.1

## [1.1.0] - January 8, 2016

### Added
- Added support for updating materialized view definitions while maintaining
  existing indexes that are still applicable after the update.
- Added support for refreshing materialized views concurrently (requires
  Postgres 9.4 or newer).

### Fixed
- The schema dumper will now dump views and materialized views together in the
  order they are returned by Postgres. This fixes issues when loading views that
  depend on other views via `rake db:schema:load`.
- Scenic now works on [supported versions of Postgres] older than 9.3.0.
  Attempts to use database features not supported by your specific version of
  Postgres will raise descriptive errors.
- Fixed inability to dump materialized views in Rails 5.0.0.beta1.

### Fixed

  generator.

  an existing view.

### Fixed

[0.2.0]: https://github.com/thoughtbot/scenic/compare/v0.1.0...v0.2.0

## [0.1.0] - August 4, 2014

Scenic makes it easier to work with Postgres views in Rails.

It introduces view methods to ActiveRecord::Migration and allows views to be
dumped to db/schema.rb.  It provides generators for models, view definitions,
and migrations.  It is built around a basic versioning system for view
definition files.

In short, go add a view to your app.
