Simplicity Revival
    * Nested properties allow you to save changes to multiple associated database tables in one form object.
    * Automatic validations give Wheels the ability to introspect your database and register validations without your needing to write a single line of code.
    * You can now respond to requests for HTML, JSON, XML, PDF, Excel, and more in a single controller action.
     * Nested layouts allow you to extend layouts and remove repetition in your view code.
