* {see the full list of changes}[https://github.com/CanCanCommunity/cancancan/compare/1.0.2...1.1].
## 1.0.2 (Dec 30, 2009)

## 1.0.1 (Dec 14, 2009)
* Adding :class option to load_resource so one can customize which class to use for the model - see issue #17.
* Don't fetch parent of nested resource if *_id parameter is missing so it works with shallow nested routes - see issue #14.
* {see the full list of changes}[https://github.com/CanCanCommunity/cancancan/compare/1.0.0...1.0.1].
## 1.0.0 (Dec 13, 2009)
* Don't set resource instance variable if it has been set already - see issue #13.
* Allowing :nested option to accept an array for deep nesting.
* Adding :nested option to load resource method - see issue #10.
