Happy Friday from sunny Los Angeles!
Claudio here with the latest news from the rails/rails repository. Here’s a recap of the commits and pull requests merged into master this week.
Featured
This week’s Rails contributors
14 programmers contributed to Rails this week, two of the them for the first time. If you haven’t contributed yet, I hope you will join the list next week.
Improved
ActionCable now permits same-origin connections by default
Same-origin connections are now permitted by default. If you want to stick with the old behavior, you can set config.action_cable.allow_same_origin_as_host = false
explain why autosave= disables inverse_of
autosave
and inverse_of
do not get along together, since they may for example cause double saves.
Fixed
Work around read/close race
If one thread calls close
on an IO at the same time that another calls read
, segfaults might have occurred. This has now been fixed!
Gone
Fixnum and Bignum are deprecated in Ruby trunk
A small upgrade to the Rails codebase to have it ready for the upcoming release of Ruby 2.4 which has deprecated Fixnum and Bignum.
Remove deprecations in Active Model, Action View and Active Job
And in Action Pack too. Methods that were deprecated in Rails 5.0 will be gone once Rails 5.1 ships.
Wrapping up
That’s it for this week, as usual there were more changes than what we can fit, feel free to check them yourself here. Until next week!
