Rails 2.x Changes to Separator Parameter on render_partial_collection

I recently upgraded a good sized Rails 1.2.6 app to Rails 2.3.4. Peter Marklund's excellent upgrade notes were an incredible help and for the most part the upgrade was fairly straight forward. During the upgrade, I changed many calls of: 

  render_partial_collection

to:

  render :partial=>'', :collection=>''

The one piece of documentation I had a hard time finding was what became of the separator parameter on the now deprecated render_partial_collection. After quite a bit of digging, I found that it's now called :spacer_template. So,

<%= render_partial_collection "category", @post.get_category_hierarchy, 'bar_separater' %>

Became:
<%= render :partial=>"category",
           :collection=>@post.get_category_hierarchy,
           :spacer_template=>'bar_separater' %>


Hope this helps anyone else in the same boat!
