As always, huge thanks to the many contributors who helped with this release.

Hey readers! This is Kasper bringing you the latest news in Rails. I’m writing from deep winter-like Copenhagen, starting on the last month of the decade.

Speaking of progress, Rails recently crossed 75.000 commits on GitHub. Last time we marked commit progress was over 4 years ago for 50.000. I happened to write that issue too, you can read it here.

Rails 6.0.2.rc1 released

As always, this release is loaded with fixes and improvements. It’s currently set to ship Monday Dec 2 and so far no regressions have been found as far as I know. Final day to test the release candidate on your app, try it out ✌️

Rails 5.2.4 released

The final bug fix release of Rails 5.2, now it’ll only get security releases from here on out. Good time to plan a Rails 6 upgrade.

Something different this issue…

For the most part we highlight particular interesting commits in this newsletter, but there’s usually other stuff we don’t get to. Stuff that could help you make sense of Rails itself. This week I’d like to try to remedy that.

Here’s all changes since last time. Visit the link and each time you see “Merge pull request #12345”, click ‘em. Feel free to see Files Changes and on particularly interesting files, you can try “View File” and read some surrounding code. This can be overwhelming so go easy. But that’s pretty much a fine way to start reading Rails’ actual code. It’s all Ruby all the way down.

Now, some of the people in the list are on certain Rails teams. You’ll likely interact with some of them if you submit a pull request. Here’s who’s in the current change list, but not the full teams.

carlosantoniodasilva, eileencodes, georgeclaghorn, kaspth (that’s me), rafaelfranca are on Rails Core. gmcgibbon, jhawthorn, kamipo and y-yagi have commit access. Meanwhile eugeneius and vipulnsward are on the issues team, so they can triage issues and merge documentation PRs.

That’s it for now, hope it’s useful 🙌

Also 41 people contributed since last time including several first time contributors.

Hope you dig it. See ya next time! 👋🏻

Hey there! This is Daniel bringing you the latest news in Rails. I am writing from RubyConf in Nashville, so come find me and say hello if you are here too!

Rails 6.0.1 released

As always, this release is loaded with fixes and improvements. Today seems like a good day to upgrade, don’t you think?

Introduce role manager to manage connections

I am a big fan of detailed commit messages, and this commit has an impressive one. This change will help to eventually support sharding in Rails.

Disable logging for jobs with sensitive arguments

Do you have any jobs that include sensitive arguments like passwords? You probably don’t want to see those arguments showing up in your logs. Now you can disable argument logging for any job by setting the log_arguments configuration option.

Use both implicit order column and primary key for ordering

To ensure deterministic results, records are now ordered by both implicit_order_column and the primary key, when available. This commit is from a first-time contributor. Nice work!

Remove duplicated database configuration logic

The Rails codebase is fairly complex. It is always nice to see a commit that simplifies it, reduces duplication, and improves behavior while removing lines.

36 people contributed since last time, including several first-time contributors. Check out the full list of changes.

Bye for now! 👋🏻

Hello! This is Roque bringing the latest news from the Rails community.

Reestablish connection to previous database after migrating

The migrate task iterates and establish a connection over each database. That resulted in the last connection being used by subsequent rake tasks. This fix will restore the previous connection before the migrate task had started.

Duplicate the cached value before writing to the local cache

This fixed the following issue:

my_string = "foo"
cache.write('key', my_string)
my_string << "bar"
cache.read('key') # => "foobar"

Run inline jobs in separate threads

Run inline jobs in separate threads so that thread locals (e.g. current attributes) are properly scoped and reset when running jobs inline.

17 people contributed to Rails since last time. Check out the detailed list of all changes.
Until next time.

As always, huge thanks to the many contributors who helped with this release.

Hello Ruby folks. Wojtek from this side reporting on latest additions to Rails codebase.

Add permanent URLs for public storage blobs

It is now possible to configure Active Storage to hold public/private blobs. Public services will always return a permanent URL.

Improve inversing associations

Adds support for inversing belongs_to -> has_many Active Record associations through a config option.

Support for overrides in “zeitwerk” mode inflectors

Helps to define custom autoload inflections independently from Active Support.

Support errors translation lookup on indexed attributes

When using indexed errors option, translated messages for them will be looked up by the standardized key.

Allow “OPTIONS” HTTP verb in routing mapper

Handy shortcut for defining routes.
