Thanks to Jesse Campos for reporting this issue!

Have a good day!

Greetings, all! Daniel here, together with my pup (🐶 woof!) bringing you the latest news in Rails.

Add support for horizontal sharding

The good folks at GitHub have done an incredible amount of work to support multiple databases in Rails. This week brings horizontal sharding. Rails applications can now connect to and (manually) switch between multiple shards.

Support gzip for the schema cache

Katrina continues to work on the schema cache, this time by adding gzip support for both the YAML and the Marshal serialization strategies. This can come in handy when trying to deploy particularly large schemas in constrained environments.

Add additional multi-database rake tasks

It is now possible to run rails db:schema:dump, rails db:schema:load, rails db:structure:dump, rails db:structure:load and rails db:test:prepare on a specific database. This was previously only possible for rails db:create, rails db:drop, and rails db:migrate. Excellent work on your first few commits to Rails, Kyle!

Eliminate a hash allocation when rendering templates

I included this one for the commit message more than for the code change itself. The benchmark taught me a bit about Action Controller, Action View, and how to write a good benchmark.

That’s all for now. 18 people contributed since last time, including some first-time contributors. Check out the full list of changes.

Hi, Wojtek from this side with latest changes in Ruby on Rails codebase.

Add strict_loading mode to Active Record

To prevent lazy loading of associations, strict_loading will cascade down from the parent record to all the associations to help you catch any places where you may want to preload instead of lazy loading.

Serialize schema cache dump with Marshal

In addition to YAML it is now possible to use Marshal as schema cache dump serializer.

Improve assert_changes output

Provides more specific diffs when comparing complex objects. Co-authored by few contributors.

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

Default HSTS max-age directive to 2 years

The new recommendation for the HSTS max-age directive is 2 years, and that’s what Rails defaults to from now on.

Add support for partitioned indexes in PostgreSQL 11+

This pull request adds support to retrieve partitioned indexes when asking for indexes in a table. 

Add a fallback database config when loading schema cache

The schema cache defaults to loading the ‘primary’ database config, however, if an app doesn’t have a db config with a spec name of ‘primary’ the filename lookup will  blow up. This pull request adds a fallback for this case.

That’s it for this week, till next time! 

Hello, this is Andrew, bringing you the latest news from the Ruby on Rails world!

Rack 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 released

These releases add support for the SameSite=None cookie value, new HTTP status codes, bug fixes, and several other exciting changes and additions. Updates to Rails following the release have also begun.

Check out the Rack changelog to learn more.

Introduce Active Support Disallowed Deprecations

This addition allows the configuration of rules to match deprecation warnings that should not be allowed and ActiveSupport::Deprecation#disallowed_behavior, which specifies the behavior to be used when a disallowed deprecation warning is matched.

Stop individual Action Cable streams

Channels with multiple subscriptions can now stop following individual streams. Before this change, the only option was to stop all streams.

Remove an empty line from generated migration

This fix prevents an extra newline from getting added in generated migrations.

That’s it for this week, till next time!

Deprecate “primary” as a connection_specification_name for ActiveRecord::Base

This PR deprecates the use of the name “primary” as the connection_specification_name for ActiveRecord::Base in favor of using “ActiveRecord::Base” to avoid confusion as earlier the classname was used in any other case.

Deprecate using Range#include? to check the inclusion of a value in a date time range

The usage of the Range#include? method to check the inclusion of an argument in date-time with zone range is deprecated in Ruby and since Rails extends it, the deprecation needs to be carried forward. As a replacement, it is recommended to use Range#cover?

Restore previous behavior of parallel test databases

Before this bugfix, if an app called establish_connection with no arguments or doesn’t call connects_to in ApplicationRecord and uses parallel testing databases, the application could’ve picked up the wrong configuration.

Reduce number of created objects in Hash#as_json

The improvement is highly coupled to the size of the hash but can be quite a bit for medium sized nested hashes.

That’s it for this week, till next time! 

Hello, this is Prathamesh bringing you first issue of This week in Rails of the new year and new decade.
In this issue, we will go over the major changes that happened last year to the Rails codebase.

Happy new year!

494 contributors to Rails in 2019

There have been 494 contributors to Rails in 2019. Wow, that’s a staggering number! Thank you all for making Rails better.

Rails 6.0 released

Rails 6 includes headline features such as parallel testing, multi database support, new Zeitwerk autoloader along with new frameworks added to the Rails family.

Two new frameworks added to Rails

Action Mailbox and Action Text made their way to the Rails codebase during the Rails 6 release. Action Mailbox will help you accept the incoming emails and Action Text brings rich text content and editing to Rails.

Other releases

Apart from Rails 6, 2019 also saw release of Rails 5.2.4 series and 5.1.7.

The party is still rocking in 2020. 18 people contributed to Rails in new year so far! Check out the detailed list of all changes.

Happy new year again!

Hello, this is Wojtek reporting on last month additions to Rails codebase.

Ruby 2.7.0 released

The last minor version of Ruby 2.7 before 3.0 release in the next year. Rails codebase is constantly updated to support Ruby 2.7 without any warnings.

Rails 6.0.2 released

Followed by security fix releases 5.2.4.1 and 6.0.2.1

Track Active Storage variants in the database

Optimization and bug fix by avoiding existence checks in the storage service.

Conditional values in Tag Builder

Handy addition to clean up common use case with constructing class names when creating content tags.

Add class_names view helper

As a follow-up to conditional values in Tag Builder, to ease even more constructing class names on views.

Deep merge of shared configuration in config_for method

From now on config_for will deeply merge shared configuration section with environment specific one.
