activerecord/CHANGELOG.md

+*   Only save has_one associations if record has changes.
+    Previously after save related callbacks, such as `#after_commit`, were triggered when the has_one
+    object did not get saved to the db.
+
+    *Alan Kennedy*
+
 *   Allow strings to specify the `#order` value.
