What's the difference between save(false) and save(:validate => false)? From what I can tell, the functionality is the same. The version that uses :validate is in the api which leads me to believe save(false) is a deprecated version? This came up for me when following this: . The guide has save(false) in there but I was getting errors when using it. I switched it to the :validate version and that worked fine.

In Rails versions before than 3, save was a method in ActiveRecord::Base and you could pass false to it in order to bypass validations.
In Rails 3, save was moved to ActiveRecord::Persistance and since then you should pass :validate => false to save in order to bypass validations.
All the validation from model are skipped when we use validate: false
@user = User.new(....)
@user.save(validate: false)
Action base disable validation
Skip Field validation
Example
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_presence_of :password, :on => :update
end
