## Rails 7.2.0.beta1 (May 29, 2024) ##

*   Support `duration` type in `ActiveSupport::XmlMini`.

    *heka1024*

*   Remove deprecated `ActiveSupport::Notifications::Event#children` and  `ActiveSupport::Notifications::Event#parent_of?`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated support to call the following methods without passing a deprecator:

    - `deprecate`
    - `deprecate_constant`
    - `ActiveSupport::Deprecation::DeprecatedObjectProxy.new`
    - `ActiveSupport::Deprecation::DeprecatedInstanceVariableProxy.new`
    - `ActiveSupport::Deprecation::DeprecatedConstantProxy.new`
    - `assert_deprecated`
    - `assert_not_deprecated`
    - `collect_deprecations`

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `ActiveSupport::Deprecation` delegation to instance.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `SafeBuffer#clone_empty`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `#to_default_s` from `Array`, `Date`, `DateTime` and `Time`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated support to passing `Dalli::Client` instances to `MemCacheStore`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `config.active_support.use_rfc4122_namespaced_uuids`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `config.active_support.remove_deprecated_time_with_zone_name`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `config.active_support.disable_to_s_conversion`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated support to bolding log text with positional boolean in `ActiveSupport::LogSubscriber#color`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated constants `ActiveSupport::LogSubscriber::CLEAR` and `ActiveSupport::LogSubscriber::BOLD`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated support for `config.active_support.cache_format_version = 6.1`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `:pool_size` and `:pool_timeout` options for the cache storage.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Warn on tests without assertions.

    `ActiveSupport::TestCase` now warns when tests do not run any assertions.
    This is helpful in detecting broken tests that do not perform intended assertions.

    *fatkodima*

*   Support `hexBinary` type in `ActiveSupport::XmlMini`.

    *heka1024*

*   Deprecate `ActiveSupport::ProxyObject` in favor of Ruby's built-in `BasicObject`.

    *Earlopain*

*   `stub_const` now accepts a `exists: false` parameter to allow stubbing missing constants.

    *Jean Boussier*

*   Make `ActiveSupport::BacktraceCleaner` copy filters and silencers on dup and clone.

    Previously the copy would still share the internal silencers and filters array,
    causing state to leak.

    *Jean Boussier*

*   Updating Astana with Western Kazakhstan TZInfo identifier.

    *Damian Nelson*

*   Add filename support for `ActiveSupport::Logger.logger_outputs_to?`.

    ```ruby
    logger = Logger.new('/var/log/rails.log')
    ActiveSupport::Logger.logger_outputs_to?(logger, '/var/log/rails.log')
    ```

    *Christian Schmidt*

*   Include `IPAddr#prefix` when serializing an `IPAddr` using the
    `ActiveSupport::MessagePack` serializer.

    This change is backward and forward compatible — old payloads can
    still be read, and new payloads will be readable by older versions of Rails.

    *Taiki Komaba*

*   Add `default:` support for `ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes.attribute`.

    ```ruby
    class Current < ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes
      attribute :counter, default: 0
    end
    ```

    *Sean Doyle*

*   Remove deprecated support for the pre-Ruby 2.4 behavior of `to_time` returning a `Time` object with local timezone.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Deprecate `config.active_support.to_time_preserves_timezone`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Deprecate `DateAndTime::Compatibility.preserve_timezone`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Yield instance to `Object#with` block.

    ```ruby
    client.with(timeout: 5_000) do |c|
      c.get("/commits")
    end
    ```

    *Sean Doyle*

*   Use logical core count instead of physical core count to determine the
    default number of workers when parallelizing tests.

    *Jonathan Hefner*

*   Fix `Time.now/DateTime.now/Date.today` to return results in a system timezone after `#travel_to`.

    There is a bug in the current implementation of #travel_to:
    it remembers a timezone of its argument, and all stubbed methods start
    returning results in that remembered timezone. However, the expected
    behavior is to return results in a system timezone.

    *Aleksei Chernenkov*

*   Add `ErrorReported#unexpected` to report precondition violations.

    For example:

    ```ruby
    def edit
      if published?
        Rails.error.unexpected("[BUG] Attempting to edit a published article, that shouldn't be possible")
        return false
      end
      # ...
    end
    ```

    The above will raise an error in development and test, but only report the error in production.

    *Jean Boussier*

*   Make the order of read_multi and write_multi notifications for `Cache::Store#fetch_multi` operations match the order they are executed in.

    *Adam Renberg Tamm*

*   Make return values of `Cache::Store#write` consistent.

    The return value was not specified before. Now it returns `true` on a successful write,
    `nil` if there was an error talking to the cache backend, and `false` if the write failed
    for another reason (e.g. the key already exists and `unless_exist: true` was passed).

    *Sander Verdonschot*

*   Fix logged cache keys not always matching actual key used by cache action.

    *Hartley McGuire*

*   Improve error messages of `assert_changes` and `assert_no_changes`.

    `assert_changes` error messages now display objects with `.inspect` to make it easier
    to differentiate nil from empty strings, strings from symbols, etc.
    `assert_no_changes` error messages now surface the actual value.

    *pcreux*

*   Fix `#to_fs(:human_size)` to correctly work with negative numbers.

    *Earlopain*

*   Fix `BroadcastLogger#dup` so that it duplicates the logger's `broadcasts`.

    *Andrew Novoselac*

*   Fix issue where `bootstrap.rb` overwrites the `level` of a `BroadcastLogger`'s `broadcasts`.

    *Andrew Novoselac*

*   Fix compatibility with the `semantic_logger` gem.

    The `semantic_logger` gem doesn't behave exactly like stdlib logger in that
    `SemanticLogger#level` returns a Symbol while stdlib `Logger#level` returns an Integer.

    This caused the various `LogSubscriber` classes in Rails to break when assigned a
    `SemanticLogger` instance.

    *Jean Boussier*, *ojab*

*   Fix MemoryStore to prevent race conditions when incrementing or decrementing.

    *Pierre Jambet*

*   Implement `HashWithIndifferentAccess#to_proc`.

    Previously, calling `#to_proc` on `HashWithIndifferentAccess` object used inherited `#to_proc`
    method from the `Hash` class, which was not able to access values using indifferent keys.
