CHANGES

ActionMailer

  • No changes

ActionPack

  • Allow asset tag helper methods to accept :digest => false option in
    order to completely avoid the digest generation.
    Useful for linking assets from static html files or from emails when the
    user
    could probably look at an older html email with an older asset.
    [Santiago Pastorino]

  • Don’t mount Sprockets server at config.assets.prefix if
    config.assets.compile is false. [Mark J. Titorenko]

  • Set relative url root in assets when controller isn’t available for
    Sprockets (eg. Sass files using asset_path). Fixes #2435 [Guillermo
    Iguaran]

  • Fix basic auth credential generation to not make newlines. GH #2882

  • Fixed the behavior of asset pipeline when config.assets.digest and
    config.assets.compile are false and requested asset isn’t precompiled.
    Before the requested asset were compiled anyway ignoring that the
    config.assets.compile flag is false. [Guillermo Iguaran]

  • CookieJar is now Enumerable. Fixes #2795

  • Fixed AssetNotPrecompiled error raised when rake assets:precompile
    is compiling certain .erb files. See GH #2763 #2765 #2805 [Guillermo
    Iguaran]

  • Manifest is correctly placed in assets path when default assets
    prefix is changed. Fixes #2776 [Guillermo Iguaran]

  • Fixed stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag to respect
    additional options passed by the users when debug is on. [Guillermo
    Iguaran]

  • Fix ActiveRecord#exists? when passsed a nil value

  • Fix assert_select_email to work on multipart and non-multipart
    emails as the method stopped working correctly in Rails 3.x due to
    changes in the new mail gem.

ActiveModel

  • Remove hard dependency on bcrypt-ruby to avoid make ActiveModel
    dependent on a binary library.
    You must add the gem explicitly to your Gemfile if you want use
    ActiveModel::SecurePassword:

    gem ‘bcrypt-ruby’, ‘~> 3.0.0’

    See GH #2687. [Guillermo Iguaran]

ActiveRecord

  • Add deprecation for the preload_associations method. Fixes #3022.

    [Jon L.]

  • Don’t require a DB connection when loading a model that uses
    set_primary_key. GH #2807.

    [Jon L.]

  • Fix using select() with a habtm association, e.g.
    Person.friends.select(:name). GH #3030 and
    #2923.

    [Hendy Tanata]

  • Fix belongs_to polymorphic with custom primary key on target. GH
    #3104.

    [Jon L.]

  • CollectionProxy#replace should change the DB records rather than
    just mutating the array.
    Fixes #3020.

    [Jon L.]

  • LRU cache in mysql and sqlite are now per-process caches.

    • lib/active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb: LRU cache
      keys are per process id.
    • lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite_adapter.rb: ditto

  • Database adapters use a statement pool for limiting the number of open
    prepared statments on the database. The limit defaults to 1000, but
    can
    be adjusted in your database config by changing ‘statement_limit’.

  • Fix clash between using ‘preload’, ‘joins’ or ‘eager_load’ in a
    default scope and including the
    default scoped model in a nested through association. (GH #2834.)
    [Jon L.]

  • Ensure we are not comparing a string with a symbol in
    HasManyAssociation#inverse_updates_counter_cache?.
    Fixes GH #2755, where a counter cache could be decremented twice as
    far as it was supposed to be.

    [Jon L.]

  • Don’t send any queries to the database when the foreign key of a
    belongs_to is nil. Fixes
    GH #2828. [Georg Friedrich]

  • Fixed find_in_batches method to not include order from
    default_scope. See GH #2832 [Arun A.]

  • Don’t compute table name for abstract classes. Fixes problem with
    setting the primary key
    in an abstract class. See GH #2791. [Akira M.]

  • Psych errors with poor yaml formatting are proxied. Fixes GH #2645 and
    GH #2731

  • Use the LIMIT word with the methods #last and #first. Fixes GH #2783
    [Damien Mathieu]

ActiveResource

  • No changes

ActiveSupport

  • Fixed performance issue where TimeZone lookups would require tzinfo
    each time [Tim L.]

  • ActiveSupport::OrderedHash is now marked as extractable when using
    Array#extract_options! [Prem Sichanugrist]

Railties

  • Add jquery-rails to Gemfile of plugins, test/dummy app needs it.
    Closes #3091. [Santiago Pastorino]

  • rake assets:precompile loads the application but does not initialize
    it.

    To the app developer, this means configuration add in
    config/initializers/* will not be executed.

    Plugins developers need to special case their initializers that are
    meant to be run in the assets group by adding :group => :assets.
