* 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*
* 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, returning `false` in an ActiveSupport callback had the side
effect of halting the callback chain. This is not recommended anymore and,
depending on the value of
`Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false`, will
either not work at all or display a deprecation warning.
* Add Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false
Setting `Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false`
to true will let an app support the deprecated way of halting callback
chains by returning `false`.
Setting the value to false will tell the app to ignore any `false` value
returned by callbacks, and only halt the chain upon `throw(:abort)`.
The value can also be set with the Rails configuration option
`config.active_support.halt_callback_chains_on_return_false`.
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*
* 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*
* 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.
