* Do not try to write timestamps when a table has no timestamps columns.
Fixes #8813.
*Sergey Potapov*
* `index_exists?` with `:name` option does verify specified columns.
Example:
add_index :articles, :title, name: "idx_title"
# Before:
index_exists? :articles, :title, name: "idx_title" # => `true`
index_exists? :articles, :body, name: "idx_title" # => `true`
# After:
index_exists? :articles, :title, name: "idx_title" # => `true`
index_exists? :articles, :body, name: "idx_title" # => `false`
*Yves Senn*, *Matthew Draper*
* When calling `update_columns` on a record that is not persisted, the error
message now reflects whether that object is a new record or has been
destroyed.
*Lachlan Sylvester*
* Define `id_was` to get the previous value of the primary key.
Currently when we call id_was and we have a custom primary key name
Active Record will return the current value of the primary key. This
make impossible to correctly do an update operation if you change the
id.
Fixes #16413.
*Rafael Mendonça França*
* Deprecate `DatabaseTasks.load_schema` to act on the current connection.
Use `.load_schema_current` instead. In the future `load_schema` will
require the `configuration` to act on as an argument.
*Yves Senn*
* Fixed automatic maintaining test schema to properly handle sql structure
schema format.
Fixes #15394.
*Wojciech Wnętrzak*
* Fix type casting to Decimal from Float with large precision.
*Tomohiro Hashidate*
* Deprecate `Reflection#source_macro`
`Reflection#source_macro` is no longer needed in Active Record
source so it has been deprecated. Code that used `source_macro`
was removed in #16353.
*Eileen M. Uchtitelle*, *Aaron Patterson*
* No verbose backtrace by db:drop when database does not exist.
Fixes #16295.
*Kenn Ejima*
* Add support for Postgresql JSONB.
Example:
create_table :posts do |t|
t.jsonb :meta_data
end
*Philippe Creux*, *Chris Teague*
* `db:purge` with MySQL respects `Rails.env`.
*Yves Senn*
* `change_column_default :table, :column, nil` with PostgreSQL will issue a
`DROP DEFAULT` instead of a `DEFAULT NULL` query.
Fixes #16261.
*Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
* Allow to specify a type for the foreign key column in `references`
and `add_reference`.
Example:
change_table :vehicle do |t|
t.references :station, type: :uuid
end
*Andrey Novikov*, *Łukasz Sarnacki*
* `create_join_table` removes a common prefix when generating the join table.
This matches the existing behavior of HABTM associations.
Fixes #13683.
*Stefan Kanev*
* Dont swallow errors on compute_type when having a bad alias_method on
a class.
*arthurnn*
* PostgreSQL invalid `uuid` are convert to nil.
*Abdelkader Boudih*
* Restore 4.0 behavior for using serialize attributes with `JSON` as coder.
With 4.1.x, `serialize` started returning a string when `JSON` was passed as
the second attribute. It will now return a hash as per previous versions.
Example:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
serialize :comment, JSON
end
class Comment
include ActiveModel::Model
attr_accessor :category, :text
end
post = Post.create!
post.comment = Comment.new(category: "Animals", text: "This is a comment about squirrels.")
post.save!
# 4.0
post.comment # => {"category"=>"Animals", "text"=>"This is a comment about squirrels."}
# 4.1 before
post.comment # => "#<Comment:0x007f80ab48ff98>"
# 4.1 after
post.comment # => {"category"=>"Animals", "text"=>"This is a comment about squirrels."}
When using `JSON` as the coder in `serialize`, Active Record will use the
new `ActiveRecord::Coders::JSON` coder which delegates its `dump/load` to
`ActiveSupport::JSON.encode/decode`. This ensures special objects are dumped
correctly using the `#as_json` hook.
To keep the previous behaviour, supply a custom coder instead
([example](https://gist.github.com/jenncoop/8c4142bbe59da77daa63)).
Fixes #15594.
*Jenn Cooper*
* Do not use `RENAME INDEX` syntax for MariaDB 10.0.
Fixes #15931.
*Jeff Browning*
* Calling `#empty?` on a `has_many` association would use the value from the
counter cache if one exists.
*David Verhasselt*
* Fix the schema dump generated for tables without constraints and with
primary key with default value of custom PostgreSQL function result.
Fixes #16111.
*Andrey Novikov*
* Fix the SQL generated when a `delete_all` is run on an association to not
produce an `IN` statements.
Before:
UPDATE "categorizations" SET "category_id" = NULL WHERE
"categorizations"."category_id" = 1 AND "categorizations"."id" IN (1, 2)
After:
UPDATE "categorizations" SET "category_id" = NULL WHERE
"categorizations"."category_id" = 1
*Eileen M. Uchitelle, Aaron Patterson*
* Avoid type casting boolean and ActiveSupport::Duration values to numeric
values for string columns. Otherwise, in some database, the string column
values will be coerced to a numeric allowing false or 0.seconds match any
string starting with a non-digit.
Example:
App.where(apikey: false) # => SELECT * FROM users WHERE apikey = '0'
*Dylan Thacker-Smith*
* Add a `:required` option to singular associations, providing a nicer
API for presence validations on associations.
*Sean Griffin*
* Fixed error in `reset_counters` when associations have `select` scope.
(Call to `count` generates invalid SQL.)
*Cade Truitt*
* After a successful `reload`, `new_record?` is always false.
Fixes #12101.
*Matthew Draper*
* PostgreSQL renaming table doesn't attempt to rename non existent sequences.
*Abdelkader Boudih*
* Move 'dependent: :destroy' handling for 'belongs_to'
from 'before_destroy' to 'after_destroy' callback chain
Fixes #12380.
*Ivan Antropov*
* Detect in-place modifications on String attributes.
Before this change user have to mark the attribute as changed to it be persisted
in the database. Now it is not required anymore.
Before:
user = User.first
user.name << ' Griffin'
user.name_will_change!
user.save
user.reload.name # => "Sean Griffin"
After:
user = User.first
user.name << ' Griffin'
user.save
user.reload.name # => "Sean Griffin"
*Sean Griffin*
* Add `ActiveRecord::Base#validate!` that raises `RecordInvalid` if the record
is invalid.
*Bogdan Gusiev*, *Marc Schütz*
* Support for adding and removing foreign keys. Foreign keys are now
a part of `schema.rb`. This is supported by Mysql2Adapter, MysqlAdapter
and PostgreSQLAdapter.
Many thanks to *Matthew Higgins* for laying the foundation with his work on
[foreigner](https://github.com/matthuhiggins/foreigner).
Example:
# within your migrations:
add_foreign_key :articles, :authors
remove_foreign_key :articles, :authors
*Yves Senn*
* Fix subtle bugs regarding attribute assignment on models with no primary
key. `'id'` will no longer be part of the attributes hash.
*Sean Griffin*
* Deprecate automatic counter caches on `has_many :through`. The behavior was
broken and inconsistent.
*Sean Griffin*
* `preload` preserves readonly flag for associations.
See #15853.
*Yves Senn*
* Assume numeric types have changed if they were assigned to a value that
would fail numericality validation, regardless of the old value. Previously
this would only occur if the old value was 0.
Example:
model = Model.create!(number: 5)
model.number = '5wibble'
model.number_changed? # => true
Fixes #14731.
*Sean Griffin*
* `reload` no longer merges with the existing attributes.
The attribute hash is fully replaced. The record is put into the same state
as it would be with `Model.find(model.id)`.
*Sean Griffin*
* The object returned from `select_all` must respond to `column_types`.
If this is not the case a `NoMethodError` is raised.
*Sean Griffin*
* `has_many :through` associations will no longer save the through record
twice when added in an `after_create` callback defined before the
associations.
Fixes #3798.
*Sean Griffin*
* Detect in-place modifications of PG array types
*Sean Griffin*
* Add `bin/rake db:purge` task to empty the current database.
*Yves Senn*
* Deprecate `serialized_attributes` without replacement.
*Sean Griffin*
* Correctly extract IPv6 addresses from `DATABASE_URI`: the square brackets
are part of the URI structure, not the actual host.
Fixes #15705.
*Andy Bakun*, *Aaron Stone*
* Ensure both parent IDs are set on join records when both sides of a
through association are new.
*Sean Griffin*
* `ActiveRecord::Dirty` now detects in-place changes to mutable values.
Serialized attributes on ActiveRecord models will no longer save when
unchanged.
Fixes #8328.
*Sean Griffin*
* Pluck now works when selecting columns from different tables with the same
name.
Fixes #15649.
*Sean Griffin*
* Remove `cache_attributes` and friends. All attributes are cached.
*Sean Griffin*
* Remove deprecated method `ActiveRecord::Base.quoted_locking_column`.
*Akshay Vishnoi*
* `ActiveRecord::FinderMethods.find` with block can handle proc parameter as
`Enumerable#find` does.
Fixes #15382.
*James Yang*
* Make timezone aware attributes work with PostgreSQL array columns.
Fixes #13402.
*Kuldeep Aggarwal*, *Sean Griffin*
* `ActiveRecord::SchemaMigration` has no primary key regardless of the
`primary_key_prefix_type` configuration.
Fixes #15051.
*JoseLuis Torres*, *Yves Senn*
* `rake db:migrate:status` works with legacy migration numbers like `00018_xyz.rb`.
Fixes #15538.
*Yves Senn*
* Baseclass becomes! subclass.
Before this change, a record which changed its STI type, could not be
updated.
Fixes #14785.
*Matthew Draper*, *Earl St Sauver*, *Edo Balvers*
* Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Migrator.proper_table_name`. Use the
`proper_table_name` instance method on `ActiveRecord::Migration` instead.
*Akshay Vishnoi*
* Fix regression on eager loading association based on SQL query rather than
existing column.
Fixes #15480.
*Lauro Caetano*, *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
* Deprecate returning `nil` from `column_for_attribute` when no column exists.
It will return a null object in Rails 5.0
*Sean Griffin*
* Implemented ActiveRecord::Base#pretty_print to work with PP.
*Ethan*
* Preserve type when dumping PostgreSQL point, bit, bit varying and money
columns.
*Yves Senn*
* New records remain new after YAML serialization.
*Sean Griffin*
* PostgreSQL support default values for enum types. Fixes #7814.
*Yves Senn*
* PostgreSQL `default_sequence_name` respects schema. Fixes #7516.
*Yves Senn*
* Fixed `columns_for_distinct` of postgresql adapter to work correctly
with orders without sort direction modifiers.
*Nikolay Kondratyev*
* PostgreSQL `reset_pk_sequence!` respects schemas. Fixes #14719.
*Yves Senn*
* Keep PostgreSQL `hstore` and `json` attributes as `Hash` in `@attributes`.
Fixes duplication in combination with `store_accessor`.
Fixes #15369.
*Yves Senn*
* `rake railties:install:migrations` respects the order of railties.
*Arun Agrawal*
* Fix redefine a has_and_belongs_to_many inside inherited class
Fixing regression case, where redefining the same has_an_belongs_to_many
definition into a subclass would raise.
Fixes #14983.
*arthurnn*
* Fix has_and_belongs_to_many public reflection.
When defining a has_and_belongs_to_many, internally we convert that to two has_many.
But as `reflections` is a public API, people expect to see the right macro.
Fixes #14682.
*arthurnn*
* Fixed serialization for records with an attribute named `format`.
Fixes #15188.
*Godfrey Chan*
* When a `group` is set, `sum`, `size`, `average`, `minimum` and `maximum`
on a NullRelation should return a Hash.
*Kuldeep Aggarwal*
* Fixed serialized fields returning serialized data after being updated with
`update_column`.
*Simon Hørup Eskildsen*
* Fixed polymorphic eager loading when using a String as foreign key.
Fixes #14734.
*Lauro Caetano*
* Change belongs_to touch to be consistent with timestamp updates
If a model is set up with a belongs_to: touch relationship the parent
record will only be touched if the record was modified. This makes it
consistent with timestamp updating on the record itself.
*Brock Trappitt*
* Fixed the inferred table name of a has_and_belongs_to_many auxiliar
table inside a schema.
Fixes #14824.
*Eric Chahin*
* Remove unused `:timestamp` type. Transparently alias it to `:datetime`
in all cases. Fixes inconsistencies when column types are sent outside of
`ActiveRecord`, such as for XML Serialization.
*Sean Griffin*
* Fix bug that added `table_name_prefix` and `table_name_suffix` to
extension names in PostgreSQL when migrating.
*Joao Carlos*
* The `:index` option in migrations, which previously was only available for
`references`, now works with any column types.
*Marc Schütz*
* Add support for counter name to be passed as parameter on `CounterCache::ClassMethods#reset_counters`.
*jnormore*
* Restrict deletion of record when using `delete_all` with `uniq`, `group`, `having`
or `offset`.
In these cases the generated query ignored them and that caused unintended
records to be deleted.
Fixes #11985.
*Leandro Facchinetti*
* Floats with limit >= 25 that get turned into doubles in MySQL no longer have
their limit dropped from the schema.
Fixes #14135.
*Aaron Nelson*
* Fix how to calculate associated class name when using namespaced has_and_belongs_to_many
association.
Fixes #14709.
*Kassio Borges*
* `ActiveRecord::Relation::Merger#filter_binds` now compares equivalent symbols and
strings in column names as equal.
This fixes a rare case in which more bind values are passed than there are
placeholders for them in the generated SQL statement, which can make PostgreSQL
throw a `StatementInvalid` exception.
*Nat Budin*
* Fix `stored_attributes` to correctly merge the details of stored
attributes defined in parent classes.
Fixes #14672.
*Brad Bennett*, *Jessica Yao*, *Lakshmi Parthasarathy*
* `change_column_default` allows `[]` as argument to `change_column_default`.
Fixes #11586.
*Yves Senn*
* Handle `name` and `"char"` column types in the PostgreSQL adapter.
`name` and `"char"` are special character types used internally by
PostgreSQL and are used by internal system catalogs. These field types
can sometimes show up in structure-sniffing queries that feature internal system
structures or with certain PostgreSQL extensions.
*J Smith*, *Yves Senn*
* Fix `PostgreSQLAdapter::OID::Float#type_cast` to convert Infinity and
NaN PostgreSQL values into a native Ruby `Float::INFINITY` and `Float::NAN`
Before:
Point.create(value: 1.0/0)
Point.last.value # => 0.0
After:
Point.create(value: 1.0/0)
Point.last.value # => Infinity
*Innokenty Mikhailov*
* Allow the PostgreSQL adapter to handle bigserial primary key types again.
Fixes #10410.
*Patrick Robertson*
* Deprecate joining, eager loading and preloading of instance dependent
associations without replacement. These operations happen before instances
are created. The current behavior is unexpected and can result in broken
behavior.
Fixes #15024.
*Yves Senn*
* Fixed has_and_belongs_to_many's CollectionAssociation size calculation.
has_and_belongs_to_many should fall back to using the normal CollectionAssociation's
size calculation if the collection is not cached or loaded.
Fixes #14913, #14914.
*Fred Wu*
* Return a non zero status when running `rake db:migrate:status` and migration table does
not exist.
*Paul B.*
* Add support for module-level `table_name_suffix` in models.
This makes `table_name_suffix` work the same way as `table_name_prefix` when
using namespaced models.
*Jenner LaFave*
* Revert the behaviour of `ActiveRecord::Relation#join` changed through 4.0 => 4.1 to 4.0.
In 4.1.0 `Relation#join` is delegated to `Arel#SelectManager`.
In 4.0 series it is delegated to `Array#join`.
*Bogdan Gusiev*
* Log nil binary column values correctly.
When an object with a binary column is updated with a nil value
in that column, the SQL logger would throw an exception when trying
to log that nil value. This only occurs when updating a record
that already has a non-nil value in that column since an initial nil
value isn't included in the SQL anyway (at least, when dirty checking
is enabled.) The column's new value will now be logged as `<NULL binary data>`
to parallel the existing `<N bytes of binary data>` for non-nil values.
*James Coleman*
* Rails will now pass a custom validation context through to autosave associations
in order to validate child associations with the same context.
Fixes #13854.
*Eric Chahin*, *Aaron Nelson*, *Kevin Casey*
* Stringify all variables keys of MySQL connection configuration.
When `sql_mode` variable for MySQL adapters set in configuration as `String`
was ignored and overwritten by strict mode option.
Fixes #14895.
*Paul Nikitochkin*
* Ensure SQLite3 statements are closed on errors.
Fixes #13631.
*Timur Alperovich*
* Give ActiveRecord::PredicateBuilder private methods the privacy they deserve.
*Hector Satre*
* When using a custom `join_table` name on a `habtm`, rails was not saving it
on Reflections. This causes a problem when rails loads fixtures, because it
uses the reflections to set database with fixtures.
Fixes #14845.
*Kassio Borges*
* Reset the cache when modifying a Relation with cached Arel.
Additionally display a warning message to make the user aware.
*Yves Senn*
* PostgreSQL should internally use `:datetime` consistently for TimeStamp. Assures
different spellings of timestamps are treated the same.
Example:
mytimestamp.simplified_type('timestamp without time zone')
# => :datetime
mytimestamp.simplified_type('timestamp(6) without time zone')
# => also :datetime (previously would be :timestamp)
See #14513.
*Jefferson Lai*
* `ActiveRecord::Base.no_touching` no longer triggers callbacks or start empty transactions.
Fixes #14841.
*Lucas Mazza*
* Fix name collision with `Array#select!` with `Relation#select!`.
Fixes #14752.
*Earl St Sauver*
* Fixed unexpected behavior for `has_many :through` associations going through a scoped `has_many`.
If a `has_many` association is adjusted using a scope, and another `has_many :through`
uses this association, then the scope adjustment is unexpectedly neglected.
Fixes #14537.
*Jan Habermann*
* `@destroyed` should always be set to `false` when an object is duped.
*Kuldeep Aggarwal*
* Fixed has_many association to make it support irregular inflections.
Fixes #8928.
*arthurnn*, *Javier Goizueta*
* Fixed a problem where count used with a grouping was not returning a Hash.
Fixes #14721.
*Eric Chahin*
* `sanitize_sql_like` helper method to escape a string for safe use in an SQL
LIKE statement.
Example:
class Article
def self.search(term)
where("title LIKE ?", sanitize_sql_like(term))
end
end
Article.search("20% _reduction_")
# => Query looks like "... title LIKE '20\% \_reduction\_' ..."
*Rob Gilson*, *Yves Senn*
* Do not quote uuid default value on `change_column`.
Fixes #14604.
*Eric Chahin*
* The comparison between `Relation` and `CollectionProxy` should be consistent.
Example:
author.posts == Post.where(author_id: author.id)
# => true
Post.where(author_id: author.id) == author.posts
# => true
Fixes #13506.
*Lauro Caetano*
* Calling `delete_all` on an unloaded `CollectionProxy` no longer
generates an SQL statement containing each id of the collection:
Before:
DELETE FROM `model` WHERE `model`.`parent_id` = 1
AND `model`.`id` IN (1, 2, 3...)
After:
DELETE FROM `model` WHERE `model`.`parent_id` = 1
*Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *Aaron Patterson*
* Fixed error for aggregate methods (`empty?`, `any?`, `count`) with `select`
which created invalid SQL.
Fixes #13648.
*Simon Woker*
* PostgreSQL adapter only warns once for every missing OID per connection.
Fixes #14275.
*Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
* PostgreSQL adapter automatically reloads it's type map when encountering
unknown OIDs.
Fixes #14678.
*Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
* Fix insertion of records via `has_many :through` association with scope.
Fixes #3548.
*Ivan Antropov*
* Auto-generate stable fixture UUIDs on PostgreSQL.
Fixes #11524.
*Roderick van Domburg*
* Fixed a problem where an enum would overwrite values of another enum
with the same name in an unrelated class.
Fixes #14607.
*Evan Whalen*
* PostgreSQL and SQLite string columns no longer have a default limit of 255.
Fixes #13435, #9153.
*Vladimir Sazhin*, *Toms Mikoss*, *Yves Senn*
* Make possible to have an association called `records`.
Fixes #11645.
*prathamesh-sonpatki*
* `to_sql` on an association now matches the query that is actually executed, where it
could previously have incorrectly accrued additional conditions (e.g. as a result of
a previous query). CollectionProxy now always defers to the association scope's
`arel` method so the (incorrect) inherited one should be entirely concealed.
Fixes #14003.
*Jefferson Lai*
* Block a few default Class methods as scope name.
For instance, this will raise:
scope :public, -> { where(status: 1) }
*arthurnn*
* Fixed error when using `with_options` with lambda.
Fixes #9805.
*Lauro Caetano*
* Switch `sqlite3:///` URLs (which were temporarily
deprecated in 4.1) from relative to absolute.
If you still want the previous interpretation, you should replace
`sqlite3:///my/path` with `sqlite3:my/path`.
*Matthew Draper*
* Treat blank UUID values as `nil`.
Example:
Sample.new(uuid_field: '') #=> <Sample id: nil, uuid_field: nil>
*Dmitry Lavrov*
* Enable support for materialized views on PostgreSQL >= 9.3.
*Dave Lee*
* The PostgreSQL adapter supports custom domains. Fixes #14305.
*Yves Senn*
* PostgreSQL `Column#type` is now determined through the corresponding OID.
The column types stay the same except for enum columns. They no longer have
`nil` as type but `enum`.
See #7814.
*Yves Senn*
* Fixed error when specifying a non-empty default value on a PostgreSQL array column.
Fixes #10613.
*Luke Steensen*
* Fixed error where .persisted? throws SystemStackError for an unsaved model with a
custom primary key that didn't save due to validation error.
Fixes #14393.
*Chris Finne*
* Introduce `validate` as an alias for `valid?`.
This is more intuitive when you want to run validations but don't care about the return value.
*Henrik Nyh*
* Create indexes inline in CREATE TABLE for MySQL.
This is important, because adding an index on a temporary table after it has been created
would commit the transaction.
It also allows creating and dropping indexed tables with fewer queries and fewer permissions
required.
Example:
create_table :temp, temporary: true, as: "SELECT id, name, zip FROM a_really_complicated_query" do |t|
t.index :zip
end
# => CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temp (INDEX (zip)) AS SELECT id, name, zip FROM a_really_complicated_query
*Cody Cutrer*, *Steve Rice*, *Rafael Mendonça Franca*
* Use singular table name in generated migrations when
`ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names` is `false`.
Fixes #13426.
*Kuldeep Aggarwal*
* `touch` accepts many attributes to be touched at once.
Example:
# touches :signed_at, :sealed_at, and :updated_at/on attributes.
Photo.last.touch(:signed_at, :sealed_at)
*James Pinto*
* `rake db:structure:dump` only dumps schema information if the schema
migration table exists.
Fixes #14217.
*Yves Senn*
* Reap connections that were checked out by now-dead threads, instead
of waiting until they disconnect by themselves. Before this change,
a suitably constructed series of short-lived threads could starve
the connection pool, without ever having more than a couple alive at
the same time.
*Matthew Draper*
* `pk_and_sequence_for` now ensures that only the pg_depend entries
pointing to pg_class, and thus only sequence objects, are considered.
*Josh Williams*
* `where.not` adds `references` for `includes` like normal `where` calls do.
Fixes #14406.
*Yves Senn*
* Extend fixture `$LABEL` replacement to allow string interpolation.
Example:
martin:
email: $LABEL@email.com
users(:martin).email # => martin@email.com
*Eric Steele*
* Add support for `Relation` be passed as parameter on `QueryCache#select_all`.
Fixes #14361.
*arthurnn*
* Passing an Active Record object to `find` or `exists?` is now deprecated.
Call `.id` on the object first.
*Aaron Patterson*
* Only use BINARY for MySQL case sensitive uniqueness check when column has a case insensitive collation.
*Ryuta Kamizono*
* Support for MySQL 5.6 fractional seconds.
*arthurnn*, *Tatsuhiko Miyagawa*
* Support for Postgres `citext` data type enabling case-insensitive where
values without needing to wrap in UPPER/LOWER sql functions.
*Troy Kruthoff*, *Lachlan Sylvester*
* Only save has_one associations if record has changes.
Previously after save related callbacks, such as `#after_commit`, were triggered when the has_one
object did not get saved to the db.
*Alan Kennedy*
* Allow strings to specify the `#order` value.
Example:
Model.order(id: 'asc').to_sql == Model.order(id: :asc).to_sql
*Marcelo Casiraghi*, *Robin Dupret*
* Dynamically register PostgreSQL enum OIDs. This prevents "unknown OID"
warnings on enum columns.
*Dieter Komendera*
* `includes` is able to detect the right preloading strategy when string
joins are involved.
Fixes #14109.
*Aaron Patterson*, *Yves Senn*
* Fixed error with validation with enum fields for records where the
value for any enum attribute is always evaluated as 0 during
uniqueness validation.
Fixes #14172.
*Vilius Luneckas* *Ahmed AbouElhamayed*
* `before_add` callbacks are fired before the record is saved on
`has_and_belongs_to_many` associations *and* on `has_many :through`
associations. Before this change, `before_add` callbacks would be fired
before the record was saved on `has_and_belongs_to_many` associations, but
*not* on `has_many :through` associations.
Fixes #14144.
* Fixed STI classes not defining an attribute method if there is a
conflicting private method defined on its ancestors.
Fixes #11569.
*Godfrey Chan*
* Coerce strings when reading attributes. Fixes #10485.
Example:
book = Book.new(title: 12345)
book.save!
book.title # => "12345"
*Yves Senn*
* Deprecate half-baked support for PostgreSQL range values with excluding beginnings.
We currently map PostgreSQL ranges to Ruby ranges. This conversion is not fully
possible because the Ruby range does not support excluded beginnings.
The current solution of incrementing the beginning is not correct and is now
deprecated. For subtypes where we don't know how to increment (e.g. `#succ`
is not defined) it will raise an ArgumentException for ranges with excluding
beginnings.
*Yves Senn*
* Support for user created range types in PostgreSQL.
*Yves Senn*
