rails/activesupport/CHANGELOG.md

• IO#to_json now returns the to_s representation, rather than attempting to convert to an array. This fixes a bug where IO#to_json would raise an IOError when called on an unreadable object.

  Fixes #26132.

  Paul Kuruvilla

• Remove deprecated halt_callback_chains_on_return_false option.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated :if and :unless string filter for callbacks.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Hash#slice now falls back to Ruby 2.5+'s built-in definition if defined.

  Akira Matsuda

• Deprecate secrets.secret_token.

  The architecture for secrets had a big upgrade between Rails 3 and Rails 4, when the default changed from using secret_token to secret_key_base.

  secret_token has been soft deprecated in documentation for four years but is still in place to support apps created before Rails 4. Deprecation warnings have been added to help developers upgrade their applications to secret_key_base.

• Return an instance of HashWithIndifferentAccess from HashWithIndifferentAccess#transform_keys.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• Add key rotation support to MessageEncryptor and MessageVerifier

  This change introduces a rotate method to both the MessageEncryptor and MessageVerifier classes. This method accepts the same arguments and options as the given classes' constructor. The encrypt_and_verify method for MessageEncryptor and the verified method for MessageVerifier also accept an optional keyword argument :on_rotation block which is called when a rotated instance is used to decrypt or verify the message.

  Michael J Coyne

• Deprecate Module#reachable? method.

  bogdanvlviv

• Add config/credentials.yml.enc to store production app secrets.

  Allows saving any authentication credentials for third party services directly in repo encrypted with config/master.key or ENV["RAILS_MASTER_KEY"].

  This will eventually replace Rails.application.secrets and the encrypted secrets introduced in Rails 5.1.

  DHH, Kasper Timm Hansen

• Add ActiveSupport::EncryptedFile and ActiveSupport::EncryptedConfiguration.

  Allows for stashing encrypted files or configuration directly in repo by encrypting it with a key.

  Backs the new credentials setup above, but can also be used independently.

  DHH, Kasper Timm Hansen

• Module#delegate_missing_to now raises DelegationError if target is nil, similar to Module#delegate.

  Anton Khamets

• Update String#camelize to provide feedback when wrong option is passed

  String#camelize was returning nil without any feedback when an invalid option was passed as a parameter.

  Previously:

  'one_two'.camelize(true)
  # => nil
  

  Now:

  'one_two'.camelize(true)
  # => ArgumentError: Invalid option, use either :upper or :lower.

• Fix modulo operations involving durations

  Rails 5.1 introduced ActiveSupport::Duration::Scalar as a wrapper around numeric values as a way of ensuring a duration was the outcome of an expression. However, the implementation was missing support for modulo operations. This support has now been added and should result in a duration being returned from expressions involving modulo operations.

  Prior to Rails 5.1:

  5.minutes % 2.minutes
  # => 60
  

  Now:

  5.minutes % 2.minutes
  # => 1 minute
  

  Fixes #29603 and #29743.

• Fix division where a duration is the denominator

  PR #29163 introduced a change in behavior when a duration was the denominator in a calculation - this was incorrect as dividing by a duration should always return a Numeric. The behavior of previous versions of Rails has been restored.

  Fixes #29592.

  Andrew White

• Add purpose and expiry support to ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier & ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor.

  For instance, to ensure a message is only usable for one intended purpose:

  token = @verifier.generate("x", purpose: :shipping)
  
  @verifier.verified(token, purpose: :shipping) # => "x"
  @verifier.verified(token)                     # => nil
  

  Or make it expire after a set time:

  @verifier.generate("x", expires_in: 1.month)
  @verifier.generate("y", expires_at: Time.now.end_of_year)
  

  Showcased with ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier, but works the same for ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor's encrypt_and_sign and decrypt_and_verify.

• Make the order of Hash#reverse_merge! consistent with HashWithIndifferentAccess.

  Erol Fornoles

• Add freeze_time helper which freezes time to Time.now in tests.

  Prathamesh Sonpatki

• Default ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor to use AES 256 GCM encryption.

  On for new Rails 5.2 apps. Upgrading apps can find the config as a new framework default.

• Cache: write_multi

  Rails.cache.write_multi foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux'
  

  Plus faster fetch_multi with stores that implement write_multi_entries. Keys that aren't found may be written to the cache store in one shot instead of separate writes.

  The default implementation simply calls write_entry for each entry. Stores may override if they're capable of one-shot bulk writes, like Redis MSET.

  Jeremy Daer

• Add default option to module and class attribute accessors.

  mattr_accessor :settings, default: {}
  

  Works for mattr_reader, mattr_writer, cattr_accessor, cattr_reader, and cattr_writer as well.

  Genadi Samokovarov

• Add Date#prev_occurring and Date#next_occurring to return specified next/previous occurring day of week.

  Shota Iguchi

• Add default option to class_attribute.

  Before:

  class_attribute :settings
  self.settings = {}
  

  Now:

  class_attribute :settings, default: {}
  

  DHH

• #singularize and #pluralize now respect uncountables for the specified locale.

  Eilis Hamilton

• Add ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes to provide a thread-isolated attributes singleton. Primary use case is keeping all the per-request attributes easily available to the whole system.

  DHH

• Fix implicit coercion calculations with scalars and durations

  Previously, calculations where the scalar is first would be converted to a duration of seconds, but this causes issues with dates being converted to times, e.g:

  Time.zone = "Beijing"           # => Asia/Shanghai
  date = Date.civil(2017, 5, 20)  # => Mon, 20 May 2017
  2 * 1.day                       # => 172800 seconds
  date + 2 * 1.day                # => Mon, 22 May 2017 00:00:00 CST +08:00
  

  Now, the ActiveSupport::Duration::Scalar calculation methods will try to maintain the part structure of the duration where possible, e.g:

  Time.zone = "Beijing"           # => Asia/Shanghai
  date = Date.civil(2017, 5, 20)  # => Mon, 20 May 2017
  2 * 1.day                       # => 2 days
  date + 2 * 1.day                # => Mon, 22 May 2017
  

  Fixes #29160, #28970.

  Andrew White

• Add support for versioned cache entries. This enables the cache stores to recycle cache keys, greatly saving on storage in cases with frequent churn. Works together with the separation of #cache_key and #cache_version in Active Record and its use in Action Pack's fragment caching.

  DHH

• Pass gem name and deprecation horizon to deprecation notifications.

  Willem van Bergen

• Add support for :offset and :zone to ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone#change

  Andrew White

• Add support for :offset to Time#change

  Fixes #28723.

  Andrew White

• Add fetch_values for HashWithIndifferentAccess

  The method was originally added to Hash in Ruby 2.3.0.
