## Rails 5.0.0 (June 30, 2016) ## * Support parsing JSON time in ISO8601 local time strings in `ActiveSupport::JSON.decode` when `parse_json_times` is enabled. Strings in the format of `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss` (without a `Z` at the end) will be parsed in the local timezone (`Time.zone`). In addition, date strings (`YYYY-MM-DD`) are now parsed into `Date` objects. *Grzegorz Witek* * `Date.to_s` doesn't produce too many spaces. For example, `to_s(:short)` will now produce `01 Feb` instead of ` 1 Feb`. Fixes #25251. *Sean Griffin* * Rescuable: If a handler doesn't match the exception, check for handlers matching the exception's cause. *Jeremy Daer* * `ActiveSupport::Duration` supports weeks and hours. [1.hour.inspect, 1.hour.value, 1.hour.parts] # => ["3600 seconds", 3600, [[:seconds, 3600]]] # Before # => ["1 hour", 3600, [[:hours, 1]]] # After [1.week.inspect, 1.week.value, 1.week.parts] # => ["7 days", 604800, [[:days, 7]]] # Before # => ["1 week", 604800, [[:weeks, 1]]] # After This brings us into closer conformance with ISO8601 and relieves some astonishment about getting `1.hour.inspect # => 3600 seconds`. Compatibility: The duration's `value` remains the same, so apps using durations are oblivious to the new time periods. Apps, libraries, and plugins that work with the internal `parts` hash will need to broaden their time period handling to cover hours & weeks. *Andrey Novikov* * Time zones: Ensure that the UTC offset reflects DST changes that occurred since the app started. Removes UTC offset caching, reducing performance, but this is still relatively quick and isn't in any hot paths. *Alexey Shein* * Make `getlocal` and `getutc` always return instances of `Time` for `ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone` and `DateTime`. This eliminates a possible stack level too deep error in `to_time` where `ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone` was wrapping a `DateTime` instance. As a consequence of this the internal time value in `ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone` is now always an instance of `Time` in the UTC timezone, whether that's as the UTC time directly or a representation of the local time in the timezone. There should be no consequences of this internal change and if there are it's a bug due to leaky abstractions. *Andrew White* * Add `DateTime#subsec` to return the fraction of a second as a `Rational`. *Andrew White* * Add additional aliases for `DateTime#utc` to mirror the ones on `ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone` and `Time`. *Andrew White* * Add `DateTime#localtime` to return an instance of `Time` in the system's local timezone. Also aliased to `getlocal`. *Andrew White*, *Yuichiro Kaneko* * Add `Time#sec_fraction` to return the fraction of a second as a `Rational`. *Andrew White* * Add `ActiveSupport.to_time_preserves_timezone` config option to control how `to_time` handles timezones. In Ruby 2.4+ the behavior will change from converting to the local system timezone, to preserving the timezone of the receiver. This config option defaults to false so that apps made with earlier versions of Rails are not affected when upgrading, e.g: >> ENV['TZ'] = 'US/Eastern' >> "2016-04-23T10:23:12.000Z".to_time => "2016-04-23T06:23:12.000-04:00" >> ActiveSupport.to_time_preserves_timezone = true >> "2016-04-23T10:23:12.000Z".to_time => "2016-04-23T10:23:12.000Z" Fixes #24617. *Andrew White* * `ActiveSupport::TimeZone.country_zones(country_code)` looks up the country's time zones by its two-letter ISO3166 country code, e.g. >> ActiveSupport::TimeZone.country_zones(:jp).map(&:to_s) => ["(GMT+09:00) Osaka"] >> ActiveSupport::TimeZone.country_zones(:uy).map(&:to_s) => ["(GMT-03:00) Montevideo"] *Andrey Novikov* * `Array#sum` compat with Ruby 2.4's native method. Ruby 2.4 introduces `Array#sum`, but it only supports numeric elements, breaking our `Enumerable#sum` which supports arbitrary `Object#+`. To fix, override `Array#sum` with our compatible implementation. Native Ruby 2.4: %w[ a b ].sum # => TypeError: String can't be coerced into Fixnum With `Enumerable#sum` shim: %w[ a b ].sum # => 'ab' We tried shimming the fast path and falling back to the compatible path if it fails, but that ends up slower even in simple cases due to the cost of exception handling. Our only choice is to override the native `Array#sum` with our `Enumerable#sum`. *Jeremy Daer* * `ActiveSupport::Duration` supports ISO8601 formatting and parsing. ActiveSupport::Duration.parse('P3Y6M4DT12H30M5S') # => 3 years, 6 months, 4 days, 12 hours, 30 minutes, and 5 seconds (3.years + 3.days).iso8601 # => "P3Y3D" Inspired by Arnau Siches' [ISO8601 gem](https://github.com/arnau/ISO8601/) and rewritten by Andrey Novikov with suggestions from Andrew White. Test data from the ISO8601 gem redistributed under MIT license. (Will be used to support the PostgreSQL interval data type.) *Andrey Novikov*, *Arnau Siches*, *Andrew White* * `Cache#fetch(key, force: true)` forces a cache miss, so it must be called with a block to provide a new value to cache. Fetching with `force: true` but without a block now raises ArgumentError. cache.fetch('key', force: true) # => ArgumentError *Santosh Wadghule* * Fix behavior of JSON encoding for `Exception`. *namusyaka* * Make `number_to_phone` format number with regexp pattern. number_to_phone(18812345678, pattern: /(\d{3})(\d{4})(\d{4})/) # => 188-1234-5678 *Pan Gaoyong* * Match `String#to_time`'s behaviour to that of ruby's implementation for edge cases. `nil` is now returned instead of the current date if the string provided does contain time information, but none that is used to build the `Time` object. Fixes #22958. *Siim Liiser* * Rely on the native DateTime#<=> implementation to handle non-datetime like objects instead of returning `nil` ourselves. This restores the ability of `DateTime` instances to be compared with a `Numeric` that represents an astronomical julian day number. Fixes #24228. *Andrew White* * Add `String#upcase_first` method. *Glauco Custódio*, *bogdanvlviv* * Prevent `Marshal.load` from looping infinitely when trying to autoload a constant which resolves to a different name. *Olek Janiszewski* * Deprecate `Module.local_constants`. Please use `Module.constants(false)` instead. *Yuichiro Kaneko* * Publish `ActiveSupport::Executor` and `ActiveSupport::Reloader` APIs to allow components and libraries to manage, and participate in, the execution of application code, and the application reloading process. *Matthew Draper* * Deprecate arguments on `assert_nothing_raised`. `assert_nothing_raised` does not assert the arguments that have been passed in (usually a specific exception class) since the method only yields the block. So as not to confuse the users that the arguments have meaning, they are being deprecated. *Tara Scherner de la Fuente* * Make `benchmark('something', silence: true)` actually work. *DHH* * Add `#on_weekday?` method to `Date`, `Time`, and `DateTime`. `#on_weekday?` returns `true` if the receiving date/time does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday. *Vipul A M* * Add `Array#second_to_last` and `Array#third_to_last` methods. *Brian Christian* * Fix regression in `Hash#dig` for HashWithIndifferentAccess. *Jon Moss* * Change `number_to_currency` behavior for checking negativity. Used `to_f.negative` instead of using `to_f.phase` for checking negativity of a number in number_to_currency helper. This change works same for all cases except when number is "-0.0". -0.0.to_f.negative? => false -0.0.to_f.phase? => 3.14 This change reverts changes from https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/6512. But it should be acceptable as we could not find any currency which supports negative zeros. *Prathamesh Sonpatki*, *Rafael Mendonça França* * Match `HashWithIndifferentAccess#default`'s behaviour with `Hash#default`. *David Cornu* * Adds `:exception_object` key to `ActiveSupport::Notifications::Instrumenter` payload when an exception is raised. Adds new key/value pair to payload when an exception is raised: e.g. `:exception_object => #`. *Ryan T. Hosford* * Support extended grapheme clusters and UAX 29. *Adam Roben* * Add petabyte and exabyte numeric conversion. *Akshay Vishnoi* * Add thread_m/cattr_accessor/reader/writer suite of methods for declaring class and module variables that live per-thread. This makes it easy to declare per-thread globals that are encapsulated. Note: This is a sharp edge. A wild proliferation of globals is A Bad Thing. But like other sharp tools, when it's right, it's right. Here's an example of a simple event tracking system where the object being tracked needs not pass a creator that it doesn't need itself along: module Current thread_mattr_accessor :account thread_mattr_accessor :user def self.reset() self.account = self.user = nil end end class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base before_action :set_current after_action { Current.reset } private def set_current Current.account = Account.find(params[:account_id]) Current.user = Current.account.users.find(params[:user_id]) end end class MessagesController < ApplicationController def create @message = Message.create!(message_params) end end class Message < ApplicationRecord has_many :events after_create :track_created private def track_created events.create! origin: self, action: :create end end class Event < ApplicationRecord belongs_to :creator, class_name: 'User' before_validation { self.creator ||= Current.user } end *DHH* * Deprecated `Module#qualified_const_` in favour of the builtin Module#const_ methods. *Genadi Samokovarov* * Deprecate passing string to define callback. *Yuichiro Kaneko* * `ActiveSupport::Cache::Store#namespaced_key`, `ActiveSupport::Cache::MemCachedStore#escape_key`, and `ActiveSupport::Cache::FileStore#key_file_path` are deprecated and replaced with `normalize_key` that now calls `super`. `ActiveSupport::Cache::LocaleCache#set_cache_value` is deprecated and replaced with `write_cache_value`. *Michael Grosser* * Implements an evented file watcher to asynchronously detect changes in the application source code, routes, locales, etc. This watcher is disabled by default, applications my enable it in the configuration: # config/environments/development.rb config.file_watcher = ActiveSupport::EventedFileUpdateChecker This feature depends on the [listen](https://github.com/guard/listen) gem: group :development do gem 'listen', '~> 3.0.5' end *Puneet Agarwal* and *Xavier Noria* * Added `Time.days_in_year` to return the number of days in the given year, or the current year if no argument is provided. *Jon Pascoe* * Updated `parameterize` to preserve the case of a string, optionally. Example: parameterize("Donald E. Knuth", separator: '_') # => "donald_e_knuth" parameterize("Donald E. Knuth", preserve_case: true) # => "Donald-E-Knuth" *Swaathi Kakarla* * `HashWithIndifferentAccess.new` respects the default value or proc on objects that respond to `#to_hash`. `.new_from_hash_copying_default` simply invokes `.new`. All calls to `.new_from_hash_copying_default` are replaced with `.new`. *Gordon Chan* * Change Integer#year to return a Fixnum instead of a Float to improve consistency. Integer#years returned a Float while the rest of the accompanying methods (days, weeks, months, etc.) return a Fixnum. Before: 1.year # => 31557600.0 After: 1.year # => 31557600 *Konstantinos Rousis* * Handle invalid UTF-8 strings when HTML escaping. Use `ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Unicode.tidy_bytes` to handle invalid UTF-8 strings in `ERB::Util.unwrapped_html_escape` and `ERB::Util.html_escape_once`. Prevents user-entered input passed from a querystring into a form field from causing invalid byte sequence errors. *Grey Baker* * Update `ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars#slice!` to return `nil` if the arguments are out of bounds, to mirror the behavior of `String#slice!` *Gourav Tiwari* * Fix `number_to_human` so that 999999999 rounds to "1 Billion" instead of "1000 Million". *Max Jacobson* * Fix `ActiveSupport::Deprecation#deprecate_methods` to report using the current deprecator instance, where applicable. *Brandon Dunne* * `Cache#fetch` instrumentation marks whether it was a `:hit`. *Robin Clowers* * `assert_difference` and `assert_no_difference` now returns the result of the yielded block. Example: post = assert_difference -> { Post.count }, 1 do Post.create end *Lucas Mazza* * Short-circuit `blank?` on date and time values since they are never blank. Fixes #21657. *Andrew White* * Replaced deprecated `ThreadSafe::Cache` with its successor `Concurrent::Map` now that the thread_safe gem has been merged into concurrent-ruby. *Jerry D'Antonio* * Updated Unicode version to 8.0.0 *Anshul Sharma* * `number_to_currency` and `number_with_delimiter` now accept custom `delimiter_pattern` option to handle placement of delimiter, to support currency formats like INR Example: number_to_currency(1230000, delimiter_pattern: /(\d+?)(?=(\d\d)+(\d)(?!\d))/, unit: '₹', format: "%u %n") # => '₹ 12,30,000.00' *Vipul A M* * Deprecate `:prefix` option of `number_to_human_size` with no replacement. *Jean Boussier* * Fix `TimeWithZone#eql?` to properly handle `TimeWithZone` created from `DateTime`: twz = DateTime.now.in_time_zone twz.eql?(twz.dup) => true Fixes #14178. *Roque Pinel* * ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess `select` and `reject` will now return enumerator if called without block. Fixes #20095. *Bernard Potocki* * Removed `ActiveSupport::Concurrency::Latch`, superseded by `Concurrent::CountDownLatch` from the concurrent-ruby gem. *Jerry D'Antonio* * Fix not calling `#default` on `HashWithIndifferentAccess#to_hash` when only `default_proc` is set, which could raise. *Simon Eskildsen* * Fix setting `default_proc` on `HashWithIndifferentAccess#dup`. *Simon Eskildsen* * Fix a range of values for parameters of the Time#change. *Nikolay Kondratyev* * Add `Enumerable#pluck` to get the same values from arrays as from ActiveRecord associations. Fixes #20339. *Kevin Deisz* * Add a bang version to `ActiveSupport::OrderedOptions` get methods which will raise an `KeyError` if the value is `.blank?`. Before: if (slack_url = Rails.application.secrets.slack_url).present? # Do something worthwhile else # Raise as important secret password is not specified end After: slack_url = Rails.application.secrets.slack_url! *Aditya Sanghi*, *Gaurish Sharma* * Remove deprecated `Class#superclass_delegating_accessor`. Use `Class#class_attribute` instead. *Akshay Vishnoi* * Patch `Delegator` to work with `#try`. Fixes #5790. *Nate Smith* * Add `Integer#positive?` and `Integer#negative?` query methods in the vein of `Fixnum#zero?`. This makes it nicer to do things like `bunch_of_numbers.select(&:positive?)`. *DHH* * Encoding `ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone` to YAML now preserves the timezone information. Fixes #9183. *Andrew White* * Added `ActiveSupport::TimeZone#strptime` to allow parsing times as if from a given timezone. *Paul A Jungwirth* * `ActiveSupport::Callbacks#skip_callback` now raises an `ArgumentError` if an unrecognized callback is removed. *Iain Beeston* * Added `ActiveSupport::ArrayInquirer` and `Array#inquiry`. Wrapping an array in an `ArrayInquirer` gives a friendlier way to check its contents: variants = ActiveSupport::ArrayInquirer.new([:phone, :tablet]) variants.phone? # => true variants.tablet? # => true variants.desktop? # => false variants.any?(:phone, :tablet) # => true variants.any?(:phone, :desktop) # => true variants.any?(:desktop, :watch) # => false `Array#inquiry` is a shortcut for wrapping the receiving array in an `ArrayInquirer`. *George Claghorn* * Deprecate `alias_method_chain` in favour of `Module#prepend` introduced in Ruby 2.0. *Kir Shatrov* * Added `#without` on `Enumerable` and `Array` to return a copy of an enumerable without the specified elements. *Todd Bealmear* * Fixed a problem where `String#truncate_words` would get stuck with a complex string. *Henrik Nygren* * Fixed a roundtrip problem with `AS::SafeBuffer` where primitive-like strings will be dumped as primitives: Before: YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("Hello").to_yaml # => "Hello" YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("true").to_yaml # => true YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("false").to_yaml # => false YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("1").to_yaml # => 1 YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("1.1").to_yaml # => 1.1 After: YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("Hello").to_yaml # => "Hello" YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("true").to_yaml # => "true" YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("false").to_yaml # => "false" YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("1").to_yaml # => "1" YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("1.1").to_yaml # => "1.1" *Godfrey Chan* * Enable `number_to_percentage` to keep the number's precision by allowing `:precision` to be `nil`. *Jack Xu* * `config_accessor` became a private method, as with Ruby's `attr_accessor`. *Akira Matsuda* * `AS::Testing::TimeHelpers#travel_to` now changes `DateTime.now` as well as `Time.now` and `Date.today`. *Yuki Nishijima* * Add `file_fixture` to `ActiveSupport::TestCase`. It provides a simple mechanism to access sample files in your test cases. By default file fixtures are stored in `test/fixtures/files`. This can be configured per test-case using the `file_fixture_path` class attribute. *Yves Senn* * Return value of yielded block in `File.atomic_write`. *Ian Ker-Seymer* * Duplicate frozen array when assigning it to a `HashWithIndifferentAccess` so that it doesn't raise a `RuntimeError` when calling `map!` on it in `convert_value`. Fixes #18550. *Aditya Kapoor* * Add missing time zone definitions for Russian Federation and sync them with `zone.tab` file from tzdata version 2014j (latest). *Andrey Novikov* * Add `SecureRandom.base58` for generation of random base58 strings. *Matthew Draper*, *Guillermo Iguaran* * Add `#prev_day` and `#next_day` counterparts to `#yesterday` and `#tomorrow` for `Date`, `Time`, and `DateTime`. *George Claghorn* * Add `same_time` option to `#next_week` and `#prev_week` for `Date`, `Time`, and `DateTime`. *George Claghorn* * Add `#on_weekend?`, `#next_weekday`, `#prev_weekday` methods to `Date`, `Time`, and `DateTime`. `#on_weekend?` returns `true` if the receiving date/time falls on a Saturday or Sunday. `#next_weekday` returns a new date/time representing the next day that does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday. `#prev_weekday` returns a new date/time representing the previous day that does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday. *George Claghorn* * Added ability to `TaggedLogging` to allow loggers to be instantiated multiple times so that they don't share tags with each other. Rails.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT) # Before custom_logger = ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging.new(Rails.logger) custom_logger.push_tags "custom_tag" custom_logger.info "test" # => "[custom_tag] [custom_tag] test" Rails.logger.info "test" # => "[custom_tag] [custom_tag] test" # After custom_logger = ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging.new(Logger.new(STDOUT)) custom_logger.push_tags "custom_tag" custom_logger.info "test" # => "[custom_tag] test" Rails.logger.info "test" # => "test" *Alexander Staubo* * Change the default test order from `:sorted` to `:random`. *Rafael Mendonça França* * Remove deprecated `ActiveSupport::JSON::Encoding::CircularReferenceError`. *Rafael Mendonça França* * Remove deprecated methods `ActiveSupport::JSON::Encoding.encode_big_decimal_as_string=` and `ActiveSupport::JSON::Encoding.encode_big_decimal_as_string`. *Rafael Mendonça França* * Remove deprecated `ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer#prepend`. *Rafael Mendonça França* * Remove deprecated methods at `Kernel`. `silence_stderr`, `silence_stream`, `capture` and `quietly`. *Rafael Mendonça França* * Remove deprecated `active_support/core_ext/big_decimal/yaml_conversions` file. *Rafael Mendonça França* * Remove deprecated methods `ActiveSupport::Cache::Store.instrument` and `ActiveSupport::Cache::Store.instrument=`. *Rafael Mendonça França* * Change the way in which callback chains can be halted. The preferred method to halt a callback chain from now on is to explicitly `throw(:abort)`. In the past, callbacks could only be halted by explicitly providing a terminator and by having a callback match the conditions of the terminator. * Add `ActiveSupport.halt_callback_chains_on_return_false` Setting `ActiveSupport.halt_callback_chains_on_return_false` to `true` will let an app support the deprecated way of halting Active Record, and Active Model callback chains by returning `false`. Setting the value to `false` will tell the app to ignore any `false` value returned by those callbacks, and only halt the chain upon `throw(:abort)`. When the configuration option is missing, its value is `true`, so older apps ported to Rails 5.0 will not break (but display a deprecation warning). For new Rails 5.0 apps, its value is set to `false` in an initializer, so these apps will support the new behavior by default. *claudiob*, *Roque Pinel* * Changes arguments and default value of CallbackChain's `:terminator` option Chains of callbacks defined without an explicit `:terminator` option will now be halted as soon as a `before_` callback throws `:abort`. Chains of callbacks defined with a `:terminator` option will maintain their existing behavior of halting as soon as a `before_` callback matches the terminator's expectation. *claudiob* * Deprecate `MissingSourceFile` in favor of `LoadError`. `MissingSourceFile` was just an alias to `LoadError` and was not being raised inside the framework. *Rafael Mendonça França* * Remove `Object#itself` as it is implemented in Ruby 2.2. *Cristian Bica* * Add support for error dispatcher classes in `ActiveSupport::Rescuable`. Now it acts closer to Ruby's rescue. Example: class BaseController < ApplicationController module ErrorDispatcher def self.===(other) Exception === other && other.respond_to?(:status) end end rescue_from ErrorDispatcher do |error| render status: error.status, json: { error: error.to_s } end end *Genadi Samokovarov* * Add `#verified` and `#valid_message?` methods to `ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier` Previously, the only way to decode a message with `ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier` was to use `#verify`, which would raise an exception on invalid messages. Now `#verified` can also be used, which returns `nil` on messages that cannot be decoded. Previously, there was no way to check if a message's format was valid without attempting to decode it. `#valid_message?` is a boolean convenience method that checks whether the message is valid without actually decoding it. *Logan Leger* Please check [4-2-stable](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/4-2-stable/activesupport/CHANGELOG.md) for previous changes.
