Rails 3.2.9 has been released!

Posted by spastorino, November 12, 2012 @ 12:00 am

Hi everyone,

Rails 3.2.9 has been released without new changes since 3.2.9.rc3.

IMPORTANT!

A DoS attack was recently found in Ruby that uses specially-crafted input to dramatically reduce the performance of hashes, thus using up lots of CPU time. Rails applications may be vulnerable to an attacker sending a specially-crafted HTTP request to exploit this.

A good way to limit the effectiveness of such attacks is to configure your frontend servers to limit the size of the HTTP request line, headers and body. Nginx does this by default. Apache can be configured to do this by setting the LimitRequestBody directive.

In addition, all Ruby 1.9 users are recommended to upgrade to ruby-1.9.3 patchlevel 327 to get this security fix.

CHANGES since 3.2.8

Action Mailer

  • Do not render views when mail() isn't called. Fix #7761

    Yves Senn

Action Pack

  • Lock sprockets to 2.2.x REASON: We had some pending fixes in sprockets and sass-rails to make possible to use sprockets version > 2.2. We will do a more conservative sprockets upgrade for this release. In a next release we can relax the dependency again. See #8099 for more information.

    Guillermo Iguaran

  • Clear url helpers when reloading routes.

    Santiago Pastorino

  • Revert the shorthand routes scoped with :module option fix This added a regression since it is changing the URL mapping. This makes the stable release backward compatible.

    Rafael Mendonça França

  • Revert the assert_template fix to not pass with ever string that matches the template name. This added a regression since people were relying on this buggy behavior. This will introduce back #3849 but this stable release will be backward compatible. Fixes #8068.

    Rafael Mendonça França

  • Revert the rename of internal variable on ActionController::TemplateAssertions to prevent naming collisions. This added a regression related with shoulda-matchers, since it is expecting the instance variable @layouts. This will introduce back #7459 but this stable release will be backward compatible. Fixes #8068.

    Rafael Mendonça França

  • Accept :remote as symbolic option for link_to helper. Riley Lynch

  • Warn when the :locals option is passed to assert_template outside of a view test case Fix #3415

    Yves Senn

  • Rename internal variables on ActionController::TemplateAssertions to prevent naming collisions. @partials, @templates and @layouts are now prefixed with an underscore. Fix #7459

    Yves Senn

  • resource and resources don't modify the passed options hash Fix #7777

    Yves Senn

  • Precompiled assets include aliases from foo.js to foo/index.js and vice versa.

    # Precompiles phone-<digest>.css and aliases phone/index.css to phone.css.
config.assets.precompile = [ 'phone.css' ]

# Precompiles phone/index-<digest>.css and aliases phone.css to phone/index.css.
config.assets.precompile = [ 'phone/index.css' ]

# Both of these work with either precompile thanks to their aliases.
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'phone', media: 'all' %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'phone/index', media: 'all' %>

    Jeremy Kemper

  • assert_template is no more passing with what ever string that matches with the template name.

    Before when we have a template /layout/hello.html.erb, assert_template was passing with any string that matches. This behavior allowed false positive like:

    assert_template "layout"
assert_template "out/hello"

    Now it only passes with:

    assert_template "layout/hello"
assert_template "hello"

    Fixes #3849.

    Hugolnx

  • Handle ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile like Rack::Test::UploadedFile, don't call to_param on it. Since Rack::Test::UploadedFile isn't API compatible this is needed to test file uploads that rely on tempfile being available.

    Tim Vandecasteele

  • Fixed a bug with shorthand routes scoped with the :module option not adding the module to the controller as described in issue #6497. This should now work properly:

    scope :module => "engine" do
  get "api/version" # routes to engine/api#version
end

    Luiz Felipe Garcia Pereira

  • Respect config.digest = false for asset_path

    Previously, the asset_path internals only respected the :digest option, but ignored the global config setting. This meant that config.digest = false could not be used in conjunction with config.compile = false this corrects the behavior.

    Peter Wagenet

  • Fix #7646, the log now displays the correct status code when an exception is raised.

    Yves Senn

  • Fix handling of date selects when using both disabled and discard options. Fixes #7431.

    Vasiliy Ermolovich

  • Fix select_tag when option_tags is nil. Fixes #7404.

    Sandeep Ravichandran

  • javascript_include_tag :all will now not include application.js if the file does not exists. Prem Sichanugrist

  • Support cookie jar options (e.g., domain :all) for all session stores. Fixes GH#3047, GH#2483.

    Ravil Bayramgalin

  • Performance Improvement to send_file: Avoid having to pass an open file handle as the response body. Rack::Sendfile will usually intercept the response and just uses the path directly, so no reason to open the file. This performance improvement also resolves an issue with jRuby encodings, and is the reason for the backport, see issue #6844.

    Jeremy Kemper & Erich Menge

Active Model

  • Due to a change in builder, nil values and empty strings now generates closed tags, so instead of this:

    <pseudonyms nil=\"true\"></pseudonyms>

    It generates this:

    <pseudonyms nil=\"true\"/>

    Carlos Antonio da Silva

Active Record

  • Fix issue with collection associations calling first(n)/last(n) and attempting to set the inverse association when :inverse_of was used. Fixes #8087.

    Carlos Antonio da Silva

  • Fix ActiveRecord#update_column return value.

    Aliaxandr

  • Fix bug when Column is trying to type cast boolean values to integer. Fixes #8067.

    Rafael Mendonça França

  • Fix bug where rake db:test:prepare tries to load the structure.sql into development database. Fixes #8032.

    Grace Liu + Rafael Mendonça França

  • Fixed support for DATABASE_URL environment variable for rake db tasks. Grace Liu

  • Fix bug where update_columns and update_column would not let you update the primary key column.

    Henrik Nyh

  • Decode URI encoded attributes on database connection URLs.

    Shawn Veader

  • Fix AR#dup to nullify the validation errors in the dup'ed object. Previously the original and the dup'ed object shared the same errors.

    • Christian Seiler*

  • Synchronize around deleting from the reserved connections hash. Fixes #7955

  • PostgreSQL adapter correctly fetches default values when using multiple schemas and domains in a db. Fixes #7914

    Arturo Pie

  • Fix deprecation notice when loading a collection association that selects columns from other tables, if a new record was previously built using that association.

    Ernie Miller

  • The postgres adapter now supports tables with capital letters. Fix #5920

    Yves Senn

  • CollectionAssociation#count returns 0 without querying if the parent record is not persisted.

    Before:

    person.pets.count
# SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "pets" WHERE "pets"."person_id" IS NULL
# => 0

    After:

    person.pets.count
# fires without sql query
# => 0

    Francesco Rodriguez

  • Fix reset_counters crashing on has_many :through associations. Fix #7822.

    lulalala

  • ConnectionPool recognizes checkout_timeout spec key as taking precedence over legacy wait_timeout spec key, can be used to avoid conflict with mysql2 use of wait_timeout. Closes #7684.

    Akira Matsuda, backported by Steve Klabnik

  • Fix creation of through association models when using collection=[] on a has_many :through association from an unsaved model. Fix #7661.

    kennyj

  • Backport test coverage to ensure that PostgreSQL auto-reconnect functionality remains healthy.

    Steve Jorgensen

  • Use config['encoding'] instead of config['charset'] when executing databases.rake in the mysql/mysql2. A correct option for a database.yml is 'encoding'.

    kennyj

  • Fix ConnectionAdapters::Column.type_cast_code integer conversion, to always convert values to integer calling #to_i. Fixes #7509.

    Thiago Pradi

    Adam Meehan

  • Fix becomes when using a configured inheritance_column.

    Yves Senn

    kennyj

  • Use inversed parent for first and last child of has_many association.

    Ravil Bayramgalin

  • Fix Column.microseconds and Column.fast_string_to_date to avoid converting timestamp seconds to a float, since it occasionally results in inaccuracies with microsecond-precision times. Fixes #7352.
