Rails 5.2.1.rc1, faster parallel testing and more

Posted by repinel

Hello everyone! This is Roque, with the latest news about Ruby on Rails!

Help test Rails 5.2.1.rc1

Help us test this release candidate to have a solid and stable 5.2.1.

Faster parallel testing

Instead of running database migrations for each set of tests, Rails will load the schema to improve performance.

Raises exception when respond_to is called multiple times

An exception will be raised when respond_to is called multiple times in an incompatible way. For example, when the Content-Type values do not match.

Set a default Content-Type for the method head

The method head will have Content-Type as text/html when one is not provided.

Fix the IP address logged by Rails

It will now log the remote IP address of clients behind a proxy instead of the IP of the proxy itself.

23 people contributed to Rails this week. You can see all the changes here. There might be some open issues you can try tackling?

Stay tuned!
