rails/activerecord/CHANGELOG.md

• Fix eager loading/preloading association with scope including joins.

  Fixes #28324.

  Ryuta Kamizono

• Fix transactions to apply state to child transactions

  Previously if you had a nested transaction and the outer transaction was rolledback the record from the inner transaction would still be marked as persisted.

  This change fixes that by applying the state of the parent transaction to the child transaction when the parent transaction is rolledback. This will correctly mark records from the inner transaction as not persisted.

  Eileen M. Uchitelle, Aaron Patterson

• Deprecate set_state method in TransactionState

  Deprecated the set_state method in favor of setting the state via specific methods. If you need to mark the state of the transaction you can now use rollback!, commit! or nullify! instead of set_state(:rolledback), set_state(:committed), or set_state(nil).

  Eileen M. Uchitelle, Aaron Patterson

• Deprecate delegating to arel in Relation.

  Ryuta Kamizono

• Fix eager loading to respect store_full_sti_class setting.

• Query cache was unavailable when entering the ActiveRecord::Base.cache block without being connected.

  Tsukasa Oishi

• Previously, when building records using a has_many :through association, if the child records were deleted before the parent was saved, they would still be persisted. Now, if child records are deleted before the parent is saved on a has_many :through association, the child records will not be persisted.

  Tobias Kraze

• Merging two relations representing nested joins no longer transforms the joins of the merged relation into LEFT OUTER JOIN. Example to clarify:

  Author.joins(:posts).merge(Post.joins(:comments))
  # Before the change:
  #=> SELECT ... FROM authors INNER JOIN posts ON ... LEFT OUTER JOIN comments ON...
  
  # After the change:
  #=> SELECT ... FROM authors INNER JOIN posts ON ... INNER JOIN comments ON...
  

  TODO: Add to the Rails 5.2 upgrade guide

• ActiveRecord::Persistence#touch does not work well when optimistic locking enabled and locking_column, without default value, is null in the database.

• Loading model schema from database is now thread-safe.

  Fixes #28589.

  Vikrant Chaudhary, David Abdemoulaie

• Add ActiveRecord::Base#cache_version to support recyclable cache keys via the new versioned entries in ActiveSupport::Cache. This also means that ActiveRecord::Base#cache_key will now return a stable key that does not include a timestamp any more.

  NOTE: This feature is turned off by default, and #cache_key will still return cache keys with timestamps until you set ActiveRecord::Base.cache_versioning = true. That's the setting for all new apps on Rails 5.2+

  DHH

• Respect SchemaDumper.ignore_tables in rake tasks for databases structure dump

  Rusty Geldmacher, Guillermo Iguaran

• Add type caster to RuntimeReflection#alias_name

  Fixes #28959.

  Jon Moss

• Deprecate supports_statement_cache?.

  Ryuta Kamizono

  Rune Philosof

• Raise error UnknownMigrationVersionError on the movement of migrations when the current migration does not exist.

  bogdanvlviv

• Fix bin/rails db:forward first migration.

• Support Descending Indexes for MySQL.

  MySQL 8.0.1 and higher supports descending indexes: DESC in an index definition is no longer ignored. See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/descending-indexes.html.

  Ryuta Kamizono

• Fix inconsistency with changed attributes when overriding AR attribute reader.

  bogdanvlviv

• When calling the dynamic fixture accessor method with no arguments it now returns all fixtures of this type. Previously this method always returned an empty array.
