CHANGES

ActionMailer

  • No changes

ActionPack

  • stylesheet_link_tag(‘/stylesheets/application’) and similar helpers
    doesn’t
    throw Sprockets::FileOutsidePaths exception anymore [Santiago Pastorino]

  • Ensure default_asset_host_protocol is respected, closes #2980. [Jos
    Valim]

    Changing rake db:schema:dump to run :environment as well as
    :load_config,
    as running :load_config alone will lead to the dumper being run
    without
    including extensions such as those included in foreigner and
    spatial_adapter.

    This reverses a change made here:
    Rake tasks for managing database while development and testing of eng… · rails/rails@5df72a2 · GitHub

    I’m assuming here that :load_config needs to be invoked
    separately from :environment, as it is elsewhere in the
    file for db operations, if not the alternative is to go
    back to “task :dump => :environment do”.

    [Ben W.]

  • Update to rack-cache 1.1.

    Versions prior to 1.1 delete the If-Modified-Since and If-Not-Modified
    headers when config.action_controller.perform_caching is true. This
    has two
    problems:

    • unexpected inconsistent behaviour between development &
      production environments
    • breaks applications that use of these headers

    [Brendan Ribera]

  • Ensure that enhancements to assets:precompile task are only run once
    [Sam Pohlenz]

  • TestCase should respect the view_assigns API instead of pulling
    variables on
    its own. [Jos Valim]

  • javascript_path and stylesheet_path now refer to /assets if asset
    pipelining
    is on. [Santiago Pastorino]

  • button_to support form option. Now you’re able to pass for example
    ‘data-type’ => ‘json’. [ihower]

  • image_path and image_tag should use /assets if asset pipelining is
    turned
    on. Closes #3126 [Santiago Pastorino and christos]

  • Avoid use of existing precompiled assets during rake assets:precompile
    run.
    Closes #3119 [Guillermo Iguaran]

  • Copy assets to nondigested filenames too [Santiago Pastorino]

  • Give precedence to config.digest = false over the existence of
    manifest.yml asset digests [christos]

  • escape options for the stylesheet_link_tag method [Alexey V.]

  • Re-launch assets:precompile task using (Rake.)ruby instead of
    Kernel.exec so
    it works on Windows [cablegram]

  • env var passed to process shouldn’t be modified in process method.
    [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. [Jos
    Valim]

  • Sprockets uses config.assets.prefix for asset_path [asee]

  • FileStore key_file_path properly limit filenames to 255 characters.
    [phuibonhoa]

  • Fix Hash#to_query edge case with html_safe strings. [brainopia]

  • 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

  • ruby193: String#prepend is also unsafe [Akira M.]

  • Fix obviously breakage of Time.=== for Time subclasses [jeremyevans]

  • Added fix so that file store does not raise an exception when cache
    dir does
    not exist yet. This can happen if a delete_matched is called before
    anything
    is saved in the cache. [Philippe Huibonhoa]

  • 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.
