-
-Just started to use my xxxxxxxx account (to set-up a GTD system,
-natch) and noticed that when I send content via email the signature/
-certificate from my email account gets added as a file (e.g.
-"smime.p7s").
-
-Obviously I can uncheck the signature option in the Mail compose
-window but how often will I remember to do that?
-
-Is there any way these kind of files could be ignored, e.g. via some
-sort of exclusions list?

-*   Introduce `BasicRendering` which is the most basic rendering implementation. It
-    allows to `render :text` and `render :nothing` without depending on Action View.
+*   Fix formatting for `rake routes` when a section is shorter than a header.
 
-    *Łukasz Strzałkowski*
+    *Sıtkı Bağdat*
+
+*   Take a hash with options inside array in `#url_for`.
+
+    Example:
+
+        url_for [:new, :admin, :post, { param: 'value' }]
+        # => http://example.com/admin/posts/new?param=value
+
+    *Andrey Ognevsky*
+
+*   Add `session#fetch` method
+
+    fetch behaves similarly to [Hash#fetch](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Hash.html#method-i-fetch),
+    with the exception that the returned value is always saved into the session.
+
+    It returns a value from the hash for the given key.
+    If the key can’t be found, there are several options:
+
+      * With no other arguments, it will raise an KeyError exception.
+      * If a default value is given, then that will be returned.
+      * If the optional code block is specified, then that will be run and its result returned.
+
+    *Damien Mathieu*
+
+*   Don't let strong parameters mutate the given hash via `fetch`
+
+    Create a new instance if the given parameter is a `Hash` instead of
+    passing it to the `convert_hashes_to_parameters` method since it is
+    overriding its default value.
+
+    *Brendon Murphy*, *Doug Cole*
+
+*   Add `params` option to `button_to` form helper, which renders the given hash
+    as hidden form fields.
+
+    *Andy Waite*
+
+*   Make assets helpers work in the controllers like it works in the views.
+
+    Example:
+
+        # config/application.rb
+        config.asset_host = 'http://mycdn.com'
+
+        ActionController::Base.helpers.asset_path('fallback.png')
+        # => http://mycdn.com/assets/fallback.png
+
+    Fixes #10051.
+
+    *Tima Maslyuchenko*
+
+*   Respect `SCRIPT_NAME` when using `redirect` with a relative path
+
+    Example:
+
+        # application routes.rb
+        mount BlogEngine => '/blog'
+
+        # engine routes.rb
+        get '/admin' => redirect('admin/dashboard')
+
+    This now redirects to the path `/blog/admin/dashboard`, whereas before it would've
+    generated an invalid url because there would be no slash between the host name and
+    the path. It also allows redirects to work where the application is deployed to a
+    subdirectory of a website.
+
+    Fixes #7977.
+
+    *Andrew White*
+
+*   Fixing repond_with working directly on the options hash
+    This fixes an issue where the respond_with worked directly with the given
+    options hash, so that if a user relied on it after calling respond_with,
+    the hash wouldn't be the same.
+
+    Fixes #12029.
+
+    *bluehotdog*
+
+*   Fix `ActionDispatch::RemoteIp::GetIp#calculate_ip` to only check for spoofing
+    attacks if both `HTTP_CLIENT_IP` and `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR` are set.
+
+    Fixes #10844.
+
+    *Tamir Duberstein*
+
+*   Strong parameters should permit nested number as key.
+
+    Fixes #12293.
+
+    *kennyj*
+
+*   Fix regex used to detect URI schemes in `redirect_to` to be consistent with
+    RFC 3986.
+
+    *Derek Prior*
+
+*   Fix incorrect `assert_redirected_to` failure message for protocol-relative
+    URLs.
+
+    *Derek Prior*
+
+*   Fix an issue where router can't recognize downcased url encoding path.
+
+    Fixes #12269.

+    *kennyj*
+
+*   Fix custom flash type definition. Misusage of the `_flash_types` class variable
+    caused an error when reloading controllers with custom flash types.

+
+    *Yves Senn*
+
+*   Checks to see if the record contains the foreign key to set the inverse automatically.
+
+    *Edo Balvers*
+
+*   Added `ActiveRecord::Base.to_param` for convenient "pretty" URLs derived from a model's attribute or method.
+
+    Example:

+        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+          to_param :name
+        end

+        user.to_param # => "123-fancy-pants"
+
+    *Javan Makhmali*
+
+*   Added `ActiveRecord::Base.no_touching`, which allows ignoring touch on models.
+
+    Example:
+
+        Post.no_touching do
+          Post.first.touch

+
+    *Sam Stephenson*, *Damien Mathieu*
+
+*   Prevent the counter cache from being decremented twice when destroying
+    a record on a `has_many :through` association.
+
+    Fixes #11079.
+
+    *Dmitry Dedov*
+
+*   Unify boolean type casting for `MysqlAdapter` and `Mysql2Adapter`.
+    `type_cast` will return `1` for `true` and `0` for `false`.
+
+    Fixes #11119.
+
+    *Adam Williams*, *Yves Senn*
+
+*   Fix bug where `has_one` associaton record update result in crash, when replaced with itself.
+
+    Fixes #12834.
+
+    *Denis Redozubov*, *Sergio Cambra*
+
+*   Log bind variables after they are type casted. This makes it more
+    transparent what values are actually sent to the database.

+
+    *Yves Senn*
+
+*   Fix uninitialized constant `TransactionState` error when `Marshall.load` is used on an Active Record result.
+
+    Fixes #12790.
+
+    *Jason Ayre*
+
+*   `.unscope` now removes conditions specified in `default_scope`.
+
+    *Jon Leighton*
+
+*   Added `ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#rewhere` which will overwrite an existing, named where condition.
+
+    Examples:
+
+        Post.where(trashed: true).where(trashed: false)                       #=> WHERE `trashed` = 1 AND `trashed` = 0

+
+    *DHH*
+
+*   Extend `ActiveRecord::Base#cache_key` to take an optional list of timestamp attributes of which the highest will be used.
+
+    Example:
+
+        # last_reviewed_at will be used, if that's more recent than updated_at, or vice versa
+        Person.find(5).cache_key(:updated_at, :last_reviewed_at)
+
+    *DHH*
+
+*   Added `ActiveRecord::Base#enum` for declaring enum attributes where the values map to integers in the database, but can be queried by name.
+
+    Example:
+
+        class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
+          enum status: [:active, :archived]
+        end
+
+        Conversation::STATUS # => { active: 0, archived: 1 }

+        conversation.active? # => true
+        conversation.status  # => "active"

+    *DHH*
+
+*   `ActiveRecord::Base#attribute_for_inspect` now truncates long arrays (more than 10 elements).
+
+    *Jan Bernacki*
+
+*   Allow for the name of the `schema_migrations` table to be configured.
+
+    *Jerad Phelps*
+
+*   Do not add to scope includes values from through associations.
+    Fixed bug when providing `includes` in through association scope, and fetching targets.
+
+    Example:
+
+        class Vendor < ActiveRecord::Base
+          has_many :relationships, -> { includes(:user) }
+          has_many :users, through: :relationships

+        vendor = Vendor.first
+
+        # Before

+
+        # After
+
+        vendor.users.to_a # => No exception is raised
+
+    Fixes #12242, #9517, #10240.
+
+    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+
+*   Type cast json values on write, so that the value is consistent
+    with reading from the database.
+
+    Example:
+
+        x = JsonDataType.new tags: {"string" => "foo", :symbol => :bar}
+
+        # Before:
+        x.tags # => {"string" => "foo", :symbol => :bar}

+*   `ActiveRecord::Store` works together with PG `hstore` columns.
+
+    Fixes #12452.
+
+    *Yves Senn*
+
+*   Fix bug where `ActiveRecord::Store` used a global `Hash` to keep track of
+    all registered `stored_attributes`. Now every subclass of
+    `ActiveRecord::Base` has it's own `Hash`.
+
+    *Yves Senn*
+
+*   Save `has_one` association when primary key is manually set.
+
+    Fixes #12302.
+
+    *Lauro Caetano*
+
+*    Allow any version of BCrypt when using `has_secure_password`.
+
+     *Mike Perham*
+
+*    Sub-query generated for `Relation` passed as array condition did not take in account
+     bind values and have invalid syntax.
+
+     Generate sub-query with inline bind values.
+
+     Fixes #12586.
+
+     *Paul Nikitochkin*
+
+*   Fix a bug where rake db:structure:load crashed when the path contained
+    spaces.
+
+    *Kevin Mook*
+
+*   `ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#unscope` unscopes negative equality
+
+    Allows you to call `#unscope` on a relation with negative equality
+    operators, i.e. `Arel::Nodes::NotIn` and `Arel::Nodes::NotEqual` that have
+    been generated through the use of `where.not`.
+
+    *Eric Hankins*
+
+*   Raise an exception when model without primary key calls `.find_with_ids`.
+
+    *Shimpei Makimoto*
+
+*   Make `Relation#empty?` use `exists?` instead of `count`.
+
+    *Szymon Nowak*
+
+*   `rake db:structure:dump` no longer crashes when the port was specified as `Fixnum`.
+
+    *Kenta Okamoto*
+
+*   `NullRelation#pluck` takes a list of columns
+
+    The method signature in `NullRelation` was updated to mimic that in
+    `Calculations`.
+
+    *Derek Prior*
+
+*   `scope_chain` should not be mutated for other reflections.
+
+    Currently `scope_chain` uses same array for building different
+    `scope_chain` for different associations. During processing
+    these arrays are sometimes mutated and because of in-place
+    mutation the changed `scope_chain` impacts other reflections.
+
+    Fix is to dup the value before adding to the `scope_chain`.
+
+    Fixes #3882.
+
+    *Neeraj Singh*
+
+*   Prevent the inversed association from being reloaded on save.
+
+    Fixes #9499.
+
+    *Dmitry Polushkin*
+
+*   Generate subquery for `Relation` if it passed as array condition for `where`
+    method.
+
+    Example:
+
+        # Before
+        Blog.where('id in (?)', Blog.where(id: 1))
+        # =>  SELECT "blogs".* FROM "blogs"  WHERE "blogs"."id" = 1
+        # =>  SELECT "blogs".* FROM "blogs"  WHERE (id IN (1))
+
+        # After
+        Blog.where('id in (?)', Blog.where(id: 1).select(:id))
+        # =>  SELECT "blogs".* FROM "blogs"
+        #     WHERE "blogs"."id" IN (SELECT "blogs"."id" FROM "blogs"  WHERE "blogs"."id" = 1)
+
+    Fixes #12415.
+
+    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+
+*   For missed association exception message
+    which is raised in `ActiveRecord::Associations::Preloader` class
+    added owner record class name in order to simplify to find problem code.
+
+    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+
+*   `has_and_belongs_to_many` is now transparently implemented in terms of
+    `has_many :through`.  Behavior should remain the same, if not, it is a bug.
+
+*   `create_savepoint`, `rollback_to_savepoint` and `release_savepoint` accept
+    a savepoint name.
+
+    *Yves Senn*
+
+*   Make `next_migration_number` accessible for third party generators.
+
+    *Yves Senn*
+
+*   Objects instantiated using a null relationship will now retain the
+    attributes of the where clause.
+
+    Fixes #11676, #11675, #11376.
+
+    *Paul Nikitochkin*, *Peter Brown*, *Nthalk*
+
+*   Fixed `ActiveRecord::Associations::CollectionAssociation#find`
+    when using `has_many` association with `:inverse_of` and finding an array of one element,
+    it should return an array of one element too.
+
+    *arthurnn*
+
+*   Callbacks on has_many should access the in memory parent if a inverse_of is set.
+

+*   Calling `update_attributes` will now throw an `ArgumentError` whenever it
+    gets a `nil` argument. More specifically, it will throw an error if the
+    argument that it gets passed does not respond to to `stringify_keys`.
+

+    To use them, instead first call `#to_a` on the association to access the

+*   Add `ActiveSupport::Testing::TimeHelpers#travel` and `#travel_to`. These methods change current
+    time to the given time or time difference by stubbing `Time.now` and `Date.today` to return the
+    time or date after the difference calculation, or the time or date that got passed into the
+    method respectively. These methods also accept a block, which will return current time back to
+    its original state at the end of the block.
+
+    Example for `#travel`:
+
+        Time.now # => 2013-11-09 15:34:49 -05:00
+        travel 1.day
+        Time.now # => 2013-11-10 15:34:49 -05:00
+        Date.today # => Sun, 10 Nov 2013

+
+        Time.now # => 2013-11-09 15:34:49 -05:00

+
+    This module is included in `ActiveSupport::TestCase` automatically.
+
+    *Prem Sichanugrist*, *DHH*
+
+*   Unify `cattr_*` interface: allow to pass a block to `cattr_reader`.
+
+    Example:
+
+        class A
+          cattr_reader(:defr) { 'default_reader_value' }
+        end
+        A.defr # => 'default_reader_value'
+
+    *Alexey Chernenkov*
+
+*   Improved compatibility with the stdlib JSON gem.
+
+    Previously, calling `::JSON.{generate,dump}` sometimes causes unexpected
+    failures such as intridea/multi_json#86.
+
+    `::JSON.{generate,dump}` now bypasses the ActiveSupport JSON encoder
+    completely and yields the same result with or without ActiveSupport. This
+    means that it will **not** call `as_json` and will ignore any options that
+    the JSON gem does not natively understand. To invoke ActiveSupport's JSON
+    encoder instead, use `obj.to_json(options)` or
+    `ActiveSupport::JSON.encode(obj, options)`.
+
+    *Godfrey Chan*
+
+*   Fix Active Support `Time#to_json` and `DateTime#to_json` to return 3 decimal
+    places worth of fractional seconds, similar to `TimeWithZone`.
+
+    *Ryan Glover*
+
+*   Removed circular reference protection in JSON encoder, deprecated
+    `ActiveSupport::JSON::Encoding::CircularReferenceError`.
+
+    *Godfrey Chan*, *Sergio Campamá*
+
+*   Add `capitalize` option to `Inflector.humanize`, so strings can be humanized without being capitalized:
+
+        'employee_salary'.humanize                    # => "Employee salary"
+        'employee_salary'.humanize(capitalize: false) # => "employee salary"
+
+    *claudiob*
+
+*   Fixed `Object#as_json` and `Struct#as_json` not working properly with options. They now take
+    the same options as `Hash#as_json`:
+
+        struct = Struct.new(:foo, :bar).new
+        struct.foo = "hello"
+        struct.bar = "world"
+        json = struct.as_json(only: [:foo]) # => {foo: "hello"}
+
+    *Sergio Campamá*, *Godfrey Chan*
+
+*   Added `Numeric#in_milliseconds`, like `1.hour.in_milliseconds`, so we can feed them to JavaScript functions like `getTime()`.
+
+    *DHH*
+
+*   Calling `ActiveSupport::JSON.decode` with unsupported options now raises an error.
+
+    *Godfrey Chan*
+
+*   Support `:unless_exist` in `FileStore`.
+
+    *Michael Grosser*
+
+*   Fix `slice!` deleting the default value of the hash.
+
+    *Antonio Santos*
+
+*   `require_dependency` accepts objects that respond to `to_path`, in
+    particular `Pathname` instances.
+
+    *Benjamin Fleischer*
+
+*   Disable the ability to iterate over Range of AS::TimeWithZone
+    due to significant performance issues.
+
+    *Bogdan Gusiev*
+
+*   Allow attaching event subscribers to ActiveSupport::Notifications namespaces
+    before they're defined. Essentially, this means instead of this:
+
+        class JokeSubscriber < ActiveSupport::Subscriber
+          def sql(event)
+            puts "A rabbi and a priest walk into a bar..."
+          end
+
+          # This call needs to happen *after* defining the methods.
+          attach_to "active_record"
+        end
+
+    You can do this:
+
+        class JokeSubscriber < ActiveSupport::Subscriber
+          # This is much easier to read!
+          attach_to "active_record"
+
+          def sql(event)
+            puts "A rabbi and a priest walk into a bar..."
+          end
+        end
+
+    This should make it easier to read and understand these subscribers.
+
+    *Daniel Schierbeck*
+
+*   Add `Date#middle_of_day`, `DateTime#middle_of_day` and `Time#middle_of_day` methods.
+
+    Also added `midday`, `noon`, `at_midday`, `at_noon` and `at_middle_of_day` as aliases.
+
+    *Anatoli Makarevich*
+
+*   Fix ActiveSupport::Cache::FileStore#cleanup to no longer rely on missing each_key method.
+
+    *Murray Steele*
+
 *   Ensure that autoloaded constants in all-caps nestings are marked as
     autoloaded.

 The CookieStore can store around 4kB of data - much less than the others - but this is usually enough. Storing large amounts of data in the session is discouraged no matter which session store your application uses. You should especially avoid storing complex objects (anything other than basic Ruby objects, the most common example being model instances) in the session, as the server might not be able to reassemble them between requests, which will result in an error.

 ### Layouts
 
-Layouts can be used to render a common view template around the results of Rails controller actions. Typically, every Rails has a couple of overall layouts that most pages are rendered within. For example, a site might have a layout for a logged in user, and a layout for the marketing or sales side of the site. The logged in user layout might include top-level navigation that should be present across many controller actions. The sales layout for a SaaS app might include top-level navigation for things like "Pricing" and "Contact Us." You would expect each layout to have a different look and feel. You can read more details about Layouts in the [Layouts and Rendering in Rails](layouts_and_rendering.html) guide.

-* Pairs `key`, `value` that exist in both hashes do not belong to the diff hash.
-
-* If both hashes have `key`, but with different values, the pair in the receiver wins.
-
-* The rest is just merged.

 Our new generator is quite simple: it inherits from `Rails::Generators::Base` and has one method definition. When a generator is invoked, each public method in the generator is executed sequentially in the order that it is defined. Finally, we invoke the `create_file` method that will create a file at the given destination with the given content. If you are familiar with the Rails Application Templates API, you'll feel right at home with the new generators API.

 Looking at this output, it's easy to understand how generators work in Rails 3.0 and above. The scaffold generator doesn't actually generate anything, it just invokes others to do the work. This allows us to add/replace/remove any of those invocations. For instance, the scaffold generator invokes the scaffold_controller generator, which invokes erb, test_unit and helper generators. Since each generator has a single responsibility, they are easy to reuse, avoiding code duplication.

-That's quite a lot of text! Let's quickly go through and understand what each part of it does.
-
-The first part identifies what template is missing. In this case, it's the `posts/new` template. Rails will first look for this template. If not found, then it will attempt to load a template called `application/new`. It looks for one here because the `PostsController` inherits from `ApplicationController`.
-
-The next part of the message contains a hash. The `:locale` key in this hash simply indicates what spoken language template should be retrieved. By default, this is the English - or "en" - template. The next key, `:formats` specifies the format of template to be served in response. The default format is `:html`, and so Rails is looking for an HTML template. The final key, `:handlers`, is telling us what _template handlers_ could be used to render our template. `:erb` is most commonly used for HTML templates, `:builder` is used for XML templates, and `:coffee` uses CoffeeScript to build JavaScript templates.
-
-The final part of this message tells us where Rails has looked for the templates. Templates within a basic Rails application like this are kept in a single location, but in more complex applications it could be many different paths.
-
-The simplest template that would work in this case would be one located at `app/views/posts/new.html.erb`. The extension of this file name is key: the first extension is the _format_ of the template, and the second extension is the _handler_ that will be used. Rails is attempting to find a template called `posts/new` within `app/views` for the application. The format for this template can only be `html` and the handler must be one of `erb`, `builder` or `coffee`. Because you want to create a new HTML form, you will be using the `ERB` language. Therefore the file should be called `posts/new.html.erb` and needs to be located inside the `app/views` directory of the application.

+NOTE: The i18n library takes a **pragmatic approach** to locale keys (after [some discussion](http://groups.google.com/group/rails-i18n/browse_thread/thread/14dede2c7dbe9470/80eec34395f64f3c?hl=en)), including only the _locale_ ("language") part, like `:en`, `:pl`, not the _region_ part, like `:en-US` or `:en-GB`, which are traditionally used for separating "languages" and "regional setting" or "dialects". Many international applications use only the "language" element of a locale such as `:cs`, `:th` or `:es` (for Czech, Thai and Spanish). However, there are also regional differences within different language groups that may be important. For instance, in the `:en-US` locale you would have $ as a currency symbol, while in `:en-GB`, you would have £.

+Let's start to boot and initialize the app. A Rails application is usually
+started by running `rails console` or `rails server`.
+
+### `railties/bin/rails`
+
+The `rails` in the command `rails server` is a ruby executable in your load
+path. This executable contains the following lines:
+
+```ruby
+version = ">= 0"
+load Gem.bin_path('railties', 'rails', version)
+```
+
+If you try out this command in a Rails console, you would see that this loads
+`railties/bin/rails`. A part of the file `railties/bin/rails.rb` has the
+following code:
+
+```ruby
+require "rails/cli"
+```
+
+The file `railties/lib/rails/cli` in turn calls
+`Rails::AppRailsLoader.exec_app_rails`.
+
+### `railties/lib/rails/app_rails_loader.rb`
+
+The primary goal of the function `exec_app_rails` is to execute your app's
+`bin/rails`. If the current directory does not have a `bin/rails`, it will
+navigate upwards until it finds a `bin/rails` executable. Thus one can invoke a
+`rails` command from anywhere inside a rails application.
+
+For `rails server` the equivalent of the following command is executed:
+
+```bash
+$ exec ruby bin/rails server

+Maintenance Policy for Ruby on Rails
+====================================
+
+Support of the Rails framework is divided into four groups: New features, bug
+fixes, security issues, and severe security issues. They are handled as
+follows, all versions in x.y.z format
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+New features are only added to the master branch and will not be made available
+in point releases.
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+Only the latest release series will receive bug fixes. When enough bugs are
+fixed and its deemed worthy to release a new gem, this is the branch it happens
+from.
+
+**Currently included series:** 4.0.z
+
+Security Issues
+---------------
+
+The current release series and the next most recent one will receive patches
+and new versions in case of a security issue.
+
+These releases are created by taking the last released version, applying the
+security patches, and releasing. Those patches are then applied to the end of
+the x-y-stable branch. For example, a theoretical 1.2.3 security release would
+be built from 1.2.2, and then added to the end of 1-2-stable. This means that
+security releases are easy to upgrade to if you're running the latest version
+of Rails.
+
+**Currently included series:** 4.0.z, 3.2.z
+
+Severe Security Issues
+----------------------
+
+For severe security issues we will provide new versions as above, and also the
+last major release series will receive patches and new versions. The
+classification of the security issue is judged by the core team.
+
+**Currently included series:** 4.0.z, 3.2.z
+
+Unsupported Release Series
+--------------------------
+
+When a release series is no longer supported, it's your own responsibility to
+deal with bugs and security issues. We may provide backports of the fixes and
+publish them to git, however there will be no new versions released. If you are
+not comfortable maintaining your own versions, you should upgrade to a
+supported version.

 In general there is no such thing as plug-n-play security. Security depends on the people using the framework, and sometimes on the development method.

 Many web applications allow users to upload files. _File names, which the user may choose (partly), should always be filtered_ as an attacker could use a malicious file name to overwrite any file on the server. If you store file uploads at /var/www/uploads, and the user enters a file name like "../../../etc/passwd", it may overwrite an important file. Of course, the Ruby interpreter would need the appropriate permissions to do so - one more reason to run web servers, database servers and other programs as a less privileged Unix user.
 
-When filtering user input file names, _don't try to remove malicious parts_. Think of a situation where the web application removes all "../" in a file name and an attacker uses a string such as "....//" - the result will be "../". It is best to use a whitelist approach, which _checks for the validity of a file name with a set of accepted characters_. This is opposed to a blacklist approach which attempts to remove not allowed characters. In case it isn't a valid file name, reject it (or replace not accepted characters), but don't remove them.
