before_validation_on_create and before_validation_on_update doesn't exist

this is from the beta 3.0 branch....

Any answers on this? activerecord/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb still references _on_create and _on_update validations in the documentation, but they don't seem to be there anymore.

before_validation_on_create and before_validation_on_update methods are available. The syntax has changed.

  before_validation(:on => :create){ do_something }
  before_validation(:on => :update){ do_something }

Yes the documentation needs to be updated.

It's not completely resolved. The paragraph directly above the committed change also needs work. It currently says:

"That’s a total of ten callbacks, which gives you immense power to react and prepare for each state in the Active Record lifecycle. The sequence for calling Base#save for an existing record is similar, except that each on_create callback is replaced by the corresponding on_update callback."

Except that this is the first mention of on_create and on_update, and they don't actually exist anymore. More information would be useful. For instance, is it possible to use the ":on" option and also pass a symbol, or is the block form the only one supported?

Did not mean to clear tag. Not sure why tag got cleared.
