-
-Hi,
-
-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?

-*   Fix an issue where :if and :unless controller action procs were being run
-    before checking for the correct action in the :only and :unless options.
+*   Deprecate all *_filter callbacks in favor of *_action callbacks.
 
-    Fixes #11799
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    *Nicholas Jakobsen*
+*   Fix URL generation with `:trailing_slash` such that it does not add
+    a trailing slash after `.:format`
 
-*   Fix an issue where `assert_dom_equal` and `assert_dom_not_equal` were
-    ignoring the passed failure message argument.
+    *Dan Langevin*
 
-    Fixes #11751
+*   Build full URI as string when processing path in integration tests for
+    performance reasons.
 
-    *Ryan McGeary*
+    *Guo Xiang Tan*
 
-*   Allow REMOTE_ADDR, HTTP_HOST and HTTP_USER_AGENT to be overridden from
-    the environment passed into `ActionDispatch::TestRequest.new`.
+*   Fix `'Stack level too deep'` when rendering `head :ok` in an action method
+    called 'status' in a controller.
 
-    Fixes #11590
+    Fixes #13905.
 
-    *Andrew White*
+    *Christiaan Van den Poel*
 
-*   Fix an issue where Journey was failing to clear the named routes hash when the
-    routes were reloaded and since it doesn't overwrite existing routes then if a
-    route changed but wasn't renamed it kept the old definition. This was being
-    masked by the optimised url helpers so it only became apparent when passing an
-    options hash to the url helper.
+*   Add MKCALENDAR HTTP method (RFC 4791).
 
-    *Andrew White*
+    *Sergey Karpesh*
 
-*   Skip routes pointing to a redirect or mounted application when generating urls
-    using an options hash as they aren't relevant and generate incorrect urls.
+*   Instrument fragment cache metrics.
 
-    Fixes #8018
+    Adds `:controller`: and `:action` keys to the instrumentation payload
+    for the `*_fragment.action_controller` notifications. This allows tracking
+    e.g. the fragment cache hit rates for each controller action.
 
-    *Andrew White*
+    *Daniel Schierbeck*
+
+*   Always use the provided port if the protocol is relative.
+
+    Fixes #15043.
+
+    *Guilherme Cavalcanti*, *Andrew White*
+
+*   Moved `params[request_forgery_protection_token]` into its own method
+    and improved tests.
+
+    Fixes #11316.
+
+    *Tom Kadwill*
+
+*   Added verification of route constraints given as a Proc or an object responding
+    to `:matches?`. Previously, when given an non-complying object, it would just
+    silently fail to enforce the constraint. It will now raise an `ArgumentError`
+    when setting up the routes.
+
+    *Xavier Defrang*
 
-*   Move `MissingHelperError` out of the `ClassMethods` module.
+*   Properly treat the entire IPv6 User Local Address space as private for
+    purposes of remote IP detection. Also handle uppercase private IPv6
+    addresses.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    Fixes #12638.
 
-*   Fix an issue where rails raise exception about missing helper where it
-    should throw `LoadError`. When helper file exists and only loaded file from
-    this helper does not exist rails should throw LoadError instead of
-    `MissingHelperError`.
+    *Caleb Spare*
 
-    *Piotr Niełacny*
+*   Fixed an issue with migrating legacy json cookies.
 
-*   Fix `ActionDispatch::ParamsParser#parse_formatted_parameters` to rewind body input stream on
-    parsing json params.
+    Previously, the `VerifyAndUpgradeLegacySignedMessage` assumes all incoming
+    cookies are marshal-encoded. This is not the case when `secret_token` is
+    used in conjunction with the `:json` or `:hybrid` serializer.
 
-    Fixes #11345
+    In those case, when upgrading to use `secret_key_base`, this would cause a
+    `TypeError: incompatible marshal file format` and a 500 error for the user.
 
-    *Yuri Bol*, *Paul Nikitochkin*
+    Fixes #14774.
 
-*   Ignore spaces around delimiter in Set-Cookie header.
+    *Godfrey Chan*
 
-    *Yamagishi Kazutoshi*
+*   Make URL escaping more consistent:
 
-*   Remove deprecated Rails application fallback for integration testing, set
-    `ActionDispatch.test_app` instead.
+    1. Escape '%' characters in URLs - only unescaped data should be passed to URL helpers
+    2. Add an `escape_segment` helper to `Router::Utils` that escapes '/' characters
+    3. Use `escape_segment` rather than `escape_fragment` in optimized URL generation
+    4. Use `escape_segment` rather than `escape_path` in URL generation
 
-    *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+    For point 4 there are two exceptions. Firstly, when a route uses wildcard segments
+    (e.g. `*foo`) then we use `escape_path` as the value may contain '/' characters. This
+    means that wildcard routes can't be optimized. Secondly, if a `:controller` segment
+    is used in the path then this uses `escape_path` as the controller may be namespaced.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `page_cache_extension` config.
+    Fixes #14629, #14636 and #14070.
 
-    *Francesco Rodriguez*
+    *Andrew White*, *Edho Arief*
 
-*   Remove deprecated constants from Action Controller:
+*   Add alias `ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile#to_io` to
+    `ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile#tempfile`.
 
-        ActionController::AbstractRequest  => ActionDispatch::Request
-        ActionController::Request          => ActionDispatch::Request
-        ActionController::AbstractResponse => ActionDispatch::Response

-        ActionController::Integration      => ActionDispatch::Integration

+    *Tim Linquist*
 
-    *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+*   Returns null type format when format is not know and controller is using `any`
+    format block.
 
-*   Fix `Mime::Type.parse` when bad accepts header is looked up. Previously it
-    was setting `request.formats` with an array containing a `nil` value, which
-    raised an error when setting the controller formats.
+    Fixes #14462.
 
-    Fixes #10965
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    *Becker*
+*   Improve routing error page with fuzzy matching search.
 
-*   Merge `:action` from routing scope and assign endpoint if both `:controller`
-    and `:action` are present. The endpoint assignment only occurs if there is
-    no `:to` present in the options hash so should only affect routes using the
-    shorthand syntax (i.e. endpoint is inferred from the path).
+    *Winston*
 
-    Fixes #9856
+*   Only make deeply nested routes shallow when parent is shallow.
+
+    Fixes #14684.
+
+    *Andrew White*, *James Coglan*
+
+*   Append link to bad code to backtrace when exception is `SyntaxError`.
+
+    *Boris Kuznetsov*
+
+*   Swapped the parameters of assert_equal in `assert_select` so that the
+    proper values were printed correctly
+
+    Fixes #14422.
+
+    *Vishal Lal*
+
+*   The method `shallow?` returns false if the parent resource is a singleton so
+    we need to check if we're not inside a nested scope before copying the :path
+    and :as options to their shallow equivalents.
+
+    Fixes #14388.
+
+    *Andrew White*
 
-    *Yves Senn*, *Andrew White*
+*   Make logging of CSRF failures optional (but on by default) with the
+    `log_warning_on_csrf_failure` configuration setting in
+    `ActionController::RequestForgeryProtection`.
 
-*   ActionView extracted from ActionPack
+    *John Barton*
 
-    *Piotr Sarnacki*, *Łukasz Strzałkowski*
+*   Fix URL generation in controller tests with request-dependent
+    `default_url_options` methods.

+    # to either write a JSON string or an object which can be converted to JSON.
+    #
+    # Writing an object will convert it into standard SSE format with whatever
+    # options you have configured. You may choose to set the following options:
+    #
+    #   1) Event. If specified, an event with this name will be dispatched on
+    #   the browser.
+    #   2) Retry. The reconnection time in milliseconds used when attempting
+    #   to send the event.
+    #   3) Id. If the connection dies while sending an SSE to the browser, then
+    #   the server will receive a +Last-Event-ID+ header with value equal to +id+.
+    #
+    # After setting an option in the constructor of the SSE object, all future
+    # SSEs sent across the stream will use those options unless overridden.

-*   Added an `extname` hash option for `javascript_include_tag` method.
+*   Allow custom `:host` option to be passed to `asset_url` helper that
+    overwrites `config.action_controller.asset_host` for particular asset.
 
-    Before:

+    *Hubert Łępicki*
 
-    *Nathan Stitt*
+*   Deprecate `AbstractController::Base.parent_prefixes`.
+    Override `AbstractController::Base.local_prefixes` when you want to change
+    where to find views.
 
-*   Fix `current_page?` when the URL contains escaped characters and the
-    original URL is using the hexadecimal lowercased.
+    *Nick Sutterer*
 
-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
+*   Take label values into account when doing I18n lookups for model attributes.
 
-*   Fix `text_area` to behave like `text_field` when `nil` is given as
-    value.
+    The following:
 
-    Before:
-
-        f.text_field :field, value: nil #=> <input value="">
-        f.text_area :field, value: nil  #=> <textarea>value of field</textarea>

-        )
-
-    *Vasiliy Ermolovich*
-
-*   Fix default rendered format problem when calling `render` without :content_type option.
-    It should return :html. Fix #11393.
-
-    *Gleb Mazovetskiy* *Oleg* *kennyj*
-
-*   Fix `link_to` with block and url hashes.
+*   Change `asset_path` to use File.join to create proper paths:
 
     Before:
 
-        link_to(action: 'bar', controller: 'foo') { content_tag(:span, 'Example site') }
-        # => "<a action=\"bar\" controller=\"foo\"><span>Example site</span></a>"

-*   Fix "Stack Level Too Deep" error when redering recursive partials.
-
-    Fixes #11340.
+        https://some.host.com/assets/some.js
 
-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
+    *Peter Schröder*
 
-*   Added an `enforce_utf8` hash option for `form_tag` method.
-
-    Control to output a hidden input tag with name `utf8` without monkey
-    patching.
+*   Change `favicon_link_tag` default mimetype from `image/vnd.microsoft.icon` to
+    `image/x-icon`.
 
     Before:
 
-        form_tag
-        # => '<form>..<input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="&#x2713;" />..</form>'
+        #=> favicon_link_tag 'myicon.ico'

-*   Remove deprecated block passing to `FormBuilder#new`.
+    *Geoffroy Lorieux*
 
-    *Vipul A M*
+*   Remove wrapping div with inline styles for hidden form fields.
 
-*   Pick `DateField` `DateTimeField` and `ColorField` values from stringified options allowing use of symbol keys with helpers.
+    We are dropping HTML 4.01 and XHTML strict compliance since input tags directly
+    inside a form are valid HTML5, and the absense of inline styles help in validating
+    for Content Security Policy.
 
-    *Jon Rowe*
+    *Joost Baaij*
 
-*   Remove the deprecated `prompt` argument from `grouped_options_for_select`,
-    pass in a `:prompt` hash option to use this feature.
-
-    *kennyj*
-
-*   Always escape the result of `link_to_unless` method.
-
-    Before:
+*   `collection_check_boxes` respects `:index` option for the hidden filed name.
 
-        link_to_unless(true, '<b>Showing</b>', 'github.com')
-        # => "<b>Showing</b>"
+    Fixes #14147.
 
-    After:
-
-        link_to_unless(true, '<b>Showing</b>', 'github.com')
-        # => "&lt;b&gt;Showing&lt;/b&gt;"
-
-    *dtaniwaki*
-
-*   Use a case insensitive URI Regexp for #asset_path.
-
-    This fix a problem where the same asset path using different case are generating
-    different URIs.
+    *Vasiliy Ermolovich*
 
-    Before:
+*   `date_select` helper with option `with_css_classes: true` does not overwrite other classes.
 
-        image_tag("HTTP://google.com")
-        # => "<img alt=\"Google\" src=\"/assets/HTTP://google.com\" />"
-        image_tag("http://google.com")
-        # => "<img alt=\"Google\" src=\"http://google.com\" />"
+    *Izumi Wong-Horiuchi*
 
-    After:
+*   `number_to_percentage` does not crash with `Float::NAN` or `Float::INFINITY`
+    as input.
 
-        image_tag("HTTP://google.com")
-        # => "<img alt=\"Google\" src=\"HTTP://google.com\" />"

+    *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Element of the `collection_check_boxes` and `collection_radio_buttons` can
-    optionally contain html attributes as the last element of the array.
+*   Add `include_hidden` option to `collection_check_boxes` helper.
 
     *Vasiliy Ermolovich*
 
-*   Update the HTML `BOOLEAN_ATTRIBUTES` in `ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper`
-    to conform to the latest HTML 5.1 spec. Add attributes `allowfullscreen`,
-    `default`, `inert`, `sortable`, `truespeed`, `typemustmatch`. Fix attribute
-    `seamless` (previously misspelled `seemless`).
+*   Fixed a problem where the default options for the `button_tag` helper is not
+    applied correctly.
 
-    *Alex Peattie*
+    Fixes #14254.
 
-*   Fix an issue where partials with a number in the filename weren't being digested for cache dependencies.
+    *Sergey Prikhodko*
 
-    *Bryan Ricker*
+*   Take variants into account when calculating template digests in ActionView::Digestor.
 
-*   First release, ActionView extracted from ActionPack
+    The arguments to ActionView::Digestor#digest are now being passed as a hash
+    to support variants and allow more flexibility in the future. The support for
+    regular (required) arguments is deprecated and will be removed in Rails 5.0 or later.

-*   Fix has_secure_password. `password_confirmation` validations are triggered
-    even if no `password_confirmation` is set.
+*   Add plural and singular form for length validator's default messages.
 
-    *Vladimir Kiselev*
+    *Abd ar-Rahman Hamid*
 
-*   `inclusion` / `exclusion` validations with ranges will only use the faster
-    `Range#cover` for numerical ranges, and the more accurate `Range#include?`
-    for non-numerical ones.
+*   Introduce `validate` as an alias for `valid?`.
 
-    Fixes range validations like `:a..:f` that used to pass with values like `:be`.
-    Fixes #10593
+    This is more intuitive when you want to run validations but don't care about
+    the return value.
 
-    *Charles Bergeron*
+    *Henrik Nyh*
 
-*   Fix regression in has_secure_password. When a password is set, but a
-    confirmation is an empty string, it would incorrectly save.
-
-    *Steve Klabnik* and *Phillip Calvin*
-
-*   Deprecate `Validator#setup`. This should be done manually now in the validator's constructor.

     *Nikolay Kondratyev*
 
-*   Assign inet/cidr attribute with `nil` value for invalid address.
+*   PostgreSQL `reset_pk_sequence!` respects schemas. Fixes #14719.
 
-    Example:
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-        record = User.new
+*   Keep PostgreSQL `hstore` and `json` attributes as `Hash` in `@attributes`.
+    Fixes duplication in combination with `store_accessor`.
 
-        record.logged_in_from_ip # is type of an inet or a cidr
+    Fixes #15369.
 
-        # Before:
-        record.logged_in_from_ip = 'bad ip address' # raise exception
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-        # After:
-        record.logged_in_from_ip = 'bad ip address' # do not raise exception
-        record.logged_in_from_ip # => nil
-        record.logged_in_from_ip_before_type_cast # => 'bad ip address'
+*   `rake railties:install:migrations` respects the order of railties.
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+    *Arun Agrawal*
 
-*   `add_to_target` now accepts a second optional `skip_callbacks` argument
+*   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.
 
-    If truthy, it will skip the :before_add and :after_add callbacks.
+    Fixes #14983.
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+    *arthurnn*
 
-*   Fix interactions between `:before_add` callbacks and nested attributes
-    assignment of `has_many` associations, when the association was not
-    yet loaded:
+*   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.
 
-    - A `:before_add` callback was being called when a nested attributes
-      assignment assigned to an existing record.
+    Fixes #14682.
 
-    - Nested Attributes assignment did not affect the record in the
-      association target when a `:before_add` callback triggered the
-      loading of the association
+    *arthurnn*
 
-    *Jörg Schray*
+*   Fixed serialization for records with an attribute named `format`.
 
-*   Allow enable_extension migration method to be revertible.
+    Fixes #15188.
 
-    *Eric Tipton*
+    *Godfrey Chan*
 
-*   Type cast hstore values on write, so that the value is consistent
-    with reading from the database.
+*   When a `group` is set, `sum`, `size`, `average`, `minimum` and `maximum`
+    on a NullRelation should return a Hash.
 
-    Example:
+    *Kuldeep Aggarwal*
 
-        x = Hstore.new tags: {"bool" => true, "number" => 5}
+*   Fixed serialized fields returning serialized data after being updated with
+    `update_column`.
 
-        # Before:
-        x.tags # => {"bool" => true, "number" => 5}
+    *Simon Hørup Eskildsen*
 
-        # After:
-        x.tags # => {"bool" => "true", "number" => "5"}
+*   Fixed polymorphic eager loading when using a String as foreign key.
 
-    *Yves Senn* , *Severin Schoepke*
+    Fixes #14734.
 
-*   Fix multidimensional PG arrays containing non-string items.
+    *Lauro Caetano*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   Change belongs_to touch to be consistent with timestamp updates
 
-*   Load fixtures from linked folders.
+    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.
 
-    *Kassio Borges*
+    *Brock Trappitt*
 
-*   Create a directory for sqlite3 file if not present on the system.
+*   Fixed the inferred table name of a has_and_belongs_to_many auxiliar
+    table inside a schema.
 
-    *Richard Schneeman*
+    Fixes #14824
 
-*   Removed redundant override of `xml` column definition for PG,
-    in order to use `xml` column type instead of `text`.
+    *Eric Chahin*
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*, *Michael Nikitochkin*
+*   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.
 
-*   Revert `ActiveRecord::Relation#order` change that make new order
-    prepend the old one.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    Before:
+*   Fix bug that added `table_name_prefix` and `table_name_suffix` to
+    extension names in PostgreSQL when migrating.
 
-        User.order("name asc").order("created_at desc")
-        # SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY created_at desc, name asc
+    *Joao Carlos*
 
-    After:
+*   The `:index` option in migrations, which previously was only available for
+    `references`, now works with any column types.
 
-        User.order("name asc").order("created_at desc")
-        # SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY name asc, created_at desc
+    *Marc Schütz*
 
-    This also affects order defined in `default_scope` or any kind of associations.
+*   Add support for counter name to be passed as parameter on `CounterCache::ClassMethods#reset_counters`.
 
-*   Add ability to define how a class is converted to Arel predicates.
-    For example, adding a very vendor specific regex implementation:
+    *jnormore*
 
-        regex_handler = proc do |column, value|
-          Arel::Nodes::InfixOperation.new('~', column, value.source)
-        end
-        ActiveRecord::PredicateBuilder.register_handler(Regexp, regex_handler)
+*   Restrict deletion of record when using `delete_all` with `uniq`, `group`, `having`
+    or `offset`.
 
-    *Sean Griffin & @joannecheng*
+    In these cases the generated query ignored them and that caused unintended
+    records to be deleted.
 
-*   Don't allow `quote_value` to be called without a column.
+    Fixes #11985.
 
-    Some adapters require column information to do their job properly.
-    By enforcing the provision of the column for this internal method
-    we ensure that those using adapters that require column information
-    will always get the proper behavior.
+    *Leandro Facchinetti*
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+*   Floats with limit >= 25 that get turned into doubles in MySQL no longer have
+    their limit dropped from the schema.
 
-*   When using optimistic locking, `update` was not passing the column to `quote_value`
-    to allow the connection adapter to properly determine how to quote the value. This was
-    affecting certain databases that use specific column types.
+    Fixes #14135.
 
-    Fixes: #6763
+    *Aaron Nelson*
 
-    *Alfred Wong*
+*   Fix how to calculate associated class name when using namespaced has_and_belongs_to_many
+    association.
 
-*   rescue from all exceptions in `ConnectionManagement#call`
+    Fixes #14709.
 
-    Fixes #11497
+    *Kassio Borges*
 
-    As `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionManagement` middleware does
-    not rescue from Exception (but only from StandardError), the Connection
-    Pool quickly runs out of connections when multiple erroneous Requests come
-    in right after each other.
+*   `ActiveRecord::Relation::Merger#filter_binds` now compares equivalent symbols and
+    strings in column names as equal.
 
-    Rescuing from all exceptions and not just StandardError, fixes this
-    behaviour.
+    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.
 
-    *Vipul A M*
+    *Nat Budin*
 
-*   `change_column` for PostgreSQL adapter respects the `:array` option.
+*   Fix `stored_attributes` to correctly merge the details of stored
+    attributes defined in parent classes.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    Fixes #14672.
 
-*   Remove deprecation warning from `attribute_missing` for attributes that are columns.
+    *Brad Bennett*, *Jessica Yao*, *Lakshmi Parthasarathy*
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+*   `change_column_default` allows `[]` as argument to `change_column_default`.
 
-*   Remove extra decrement of transaction deep level.
+    Fixes #11586.
 
-    Fixes: #4566
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+*   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.
 
-*   Reset @column_defaults when assigning `locking_column`.
-    We had a potential problem. For example:
+    *J Smith*, *Yves Senn*
 
-    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-      self.column_defaults  # if we call this unintentionally before setting locking_column ...
-      self.locking_column = 'my_locking_column'
-    end
+*   Fix `PostgreSQLAdapter::OID::Float#type_cast` to convert Infinity and
+    NaN PostgreSQL values into a native Ruby `Float::INFINITY` and `Float::NAN`
 
-    Post.column_defaults["my_locking_column"]
-    => nil # expected value is 0 !
+    Before:
 
-    *kennyj*
+        Point.create(value: 1.0/0)
+        Point.last.value # => 0.0
 
-*   Remove extra select and update queries on save/touch/destroy ActiveRecord model
-    with belongs to reflection with option `touch: true`.
+    After:
 
-    Fixes: #11288
+        Point.create(value: 1.0/0)
+        Point.last.value # => Infinity
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+    *Innokenty Mikhailov*
 
-*   Remove deprecated nil-passing to the following `SchemaCache` methods:
-    `primary_keys`, `tables`, `columns` and `columns_hash`.
+*   Allow the PostgreSQL adapter to handle bigserial primary key types again.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    Fixes #10410.
 
-*   Remove deprecated block filter from `ActiveRecord::Migrator#migrate`.
+    *Patrick Robertson*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   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.
 
-*   Remove deprecated String constructor from `ActiveRecord::Migrator`.
+    Fixes #15024.
 
     *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `scope` use without passing a callable object.
+*   Fixed has_and_belongs_to_many's CollectionAssociation size calculation.
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+    has_and_belongs_to_many should fall back to using the normal CollectionAssociation's
+    size calculation if the collection is not cached or loaded.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `transaction_joinable=` in favor of `begin_transaction`
-    with `:joinable` option.
+    Fixes #14913, #14914.
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+    *Fred Wu*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `decrement_open_transactions`.
+*   Return a non zero status when running `rake db:migrate:status` and migration table does
+    not exist.
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+    *Paul B.*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `increment_open_transactions`.
+*   Add support for module-level `table_name_suffix` in models.
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+    This makes `table_name_suffix` work the same way as `table_name_prefix` when
+    using namespaced models.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `PostgreSQLAdapter#outside_transaction?`
-    method. You can use `#transaction_open?` instead.
+    *Jenner LaFave*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   Revert the behaviour of `ActiveRecord::Relation#join` changed through 4.0 => 4.1 to 4.0.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Fixtures.find_table_name` in favor of
-    `ActiveRecord::Fixtures.default_fixture_model_name`.
+    In 4.1.0 `Relation#join` is delegated to `Arel#SelectManager`.
+    In 4.0 series it is delegated to `Array#join`.
 
-    *Vipul A M*
+    *Bogdan Gusiev*
 
-*   Removed deprecated `columns_for_remove` from `SchemaStatements`.
+*   Log nil binary column values correctly.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    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.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `SchemaStatements#distinct`.
+    *James Coleman*
 
-    *Francesco Rodriguez*
+*   Rails will now pass a custom validation context through to autosave associations
+    in order to validate child associations with the same context.
 
-*   Move deprecated `ActiveRecord::TestCase` into the rails test
-    suite. The class is no longer public and is only used for internal
-    Rails tests.
+    Fixes #13854.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *Eric Chahin*, *Aaron Nelson*, *Kevin Casey*
 
-*   Removed support for deprecated option `:restrict` for `:dependent`
-    in associations.
+*   Stringify all variables keys of MySQL connection configuration.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    When `sql_mode` variable for MySQL adapters set in configuration as `String`
+    was ignored and overwritten by strict mode option.
 
-*   Removed support for deprecated `delete_sql` in associations.
+    Fixes #14895.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Paul Nikitochkin*
 
-*   Removed support for deprecated `insert_sql` in associations.
+*   Ensure SQLite3 statements are closed on errors.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    Fixes #13631.
 
-*   Removed support for deprecated `finder_sql` in associations.
+    *Timur Alperovich*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+*   Give ActiveRecord::PredicateBuilder private methods the privacy they deserve.
 
-*   Support array as root element in JSON fields.
+    *Hector Satre*
 
-    *Alexey Noskov & Francesco Rodriguez*
+*   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.
 
-*   Removed support for deprecated `counter_sql` in associations.
+    Fixes #14845.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Kassio Borges*
 
-*   Do not invoke callbacks when `delete_all` is called on collection.
+*   Reset the cache when modifying a Relation with cached Arel.
+    Additionally display a warning message to make the user aware.
 
-    Method `delete_all` should not be invoking callbacks and this
-    feature was deprecated in Rails 4.0. This is being removed.
-    `delete_all` will continue to honor the `:dependent` option. However
-    if `:dependent` value is `:destroy` then the default deletion
-    strategy for that collection will be applied.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    User can also force a deletion strategy by passing parameter to
-    `delete_all`. For example you can do `@post.comments.delete_all(:nullify)` .
+*   PostgreSQL should internally use `:datetime` consistently for TimeStamp. Assures
+    different spellings of timestamps are treated the same.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    Example:
 
-*   Calling default_scope without a proc will now raise `ArgumentError`.
+        mytimestamp.simplified_type('timestamp without time zone')
+        # => :datetime
+        mytimestamp.simplified_type('timestamp(6) without time zone')
+        # => also :datetime (previously would be :timestamp)
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    See #14513.
 
-*   Removed deprecated method `type_cast_code` from Column.
+    *Jefferson Lai*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+*   `ActiveRecord::Base.no_touching` no longer triggers callbacks or start empty transactions.
 
-*   Removed deprecated options `delete_sql` and `insert_sql` from HABTM
-    association.
+    Fixes #14841.
 
-    Removed deprecated options `finder_sql` and `counter_sql` from
-    collection association.
+    *Lucas Mazza*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+*   Fix name collision with `Array#select!` with `Relation#select!`.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Base#connection` method.
-    Make sure to access it via the class.
+    Fixes #14752.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *Earl St Sauver*
 
-*   Remove deprecation warning for `auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds`.
+*   Fixed unexpected behavior for `has_many :through` associations going through a scoped `has_many`.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    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.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `:distinct` option from `Relation#count`.
+    Fixes #14537.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *Jan Habermann*
+
+*   `@destroyed` should always be set to `false` when an object is duped.
+
+    *Kuldeep Aggarwal*
 
-*   Removed deprecated methods `partial_updates`, `partial_updates?` and
-    `partial_updates=`.
+*   Fixed has_many association to make it support irregular inflections.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    Fixes #8928.
 
-*   Removed deprecated method `scoped`
+    *arthurnn*, *Javier Goizueta*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+*   Fixed a problem where count used with a grouping was not returning a Hash.
 
-*   Removed deprecated method `default_scopes?`
+    Fixes #14721.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Eric Chahin*
 
-*   Remove implicit join references that were deprecated in 4.0.
+*   `sanitize_sql_like` helper method to escape a string for safe use in a SQL
+    LIKE statement.
 
     Example:
 
-        # before with implicit joins
-        Comment.where('posts.author_id' => 7)
+        class Article
+          def self.search(term)
+            where("title LIKE ?", sanitize_sql_like(term))
+          end
+        end
 
-        # after
-        Comment.references(:posts).where('posts.author_id' => 7)
+        Article.search("20% _reduction_")
+        # => Query looks like "... title LIKE '20\% \_reduction\_' ..."
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *Rob Gilson*, *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Apply default scope when joining associations. For example:
+*   Do not quote uuid default value on `change_column`.
 
-        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-          default_scope -> { where published: true }
-        end
+    Fixes #14604.
 
-        class Comment
-          belongs_to :post
-        end
+    *Eric Chahin*
 
-    When calling `Comment.joins(:post)`, we expect to receive only
-    comments on published posts, since that is the default scope for
-    posts.
+*   The comparison between `Relation` and `CollectionProxy` should be consistent.
 
-    Before this change, the default scope from `Post` was not applied,
-    so we'd get comments on unpublished posts.
+    Example:
 
-    *Jon Leighton*
+        author.posts == Post.where(author_id: author.id)
+        # => true
+        Post.where(author_id: author.id) == author.posts
+        # => true
 
-*   Remove `activerecord-deprecated_finders` as a dependency
+    Fixes #13506.
 
-    *Łukasz Strzałkowski*
+    *Lauro Caetano*
 
-*   Remove Oracle / Sqlserver / Firebird database tasks that were deprecated in 4.0.
+*   Calling `delete_all` on an unloaded `CollectionProxy` no longer
+    generates a SQL statement containing each id of the collection:
 
-    *kennyj*
+    Before:
 
-*   `find_each` now returns an `Enumerator` when called without a block, so that it
-    can be chained with other `Enumerable` methods.
+        DELETE FROM `model` WHERE `model`.`parent_id` = 1
+        AND `model`.`id` IN (1, 2, 3...)
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+    After:
 
-*   `ActiveRecord::Result.each` now returns an `Enumerator` when called without
-     a block, so that it can be chained with other `Enumerable` methods.
+        DELETE FROM `model` WHERE `model`.`parent_id` = 1
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *Aaron Patterson*
 
-*   Flatten merged join_values before building the joins.
+*   Fixed error for aggregate methods (`empty?`, `any?`, `count`) with `select`
+    which created invalid SQL.
 
-    While joining_values special treatment is given to string values.
-    By flattening the array it ensures that string values are detected
-    as strings and not arrays.
+    Fixes #13648.
 
-    Fixes #10669.
+    *Simon Woker*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh and iwiznia*
+*   PostgreSQL adapter only warns once for every missing OID per connection.
 
-*   Do not load all child records for inverse case.
+    Fixes #14275.
 
-    currently `post.comments.find(Comment.first.id)` would load all
-    comments for the given post to set the inverse association.
+    *Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
 
-    This has a huge performance penalty. Because if post has 100k
-    records and all these 100k records would be loaded in memory
-    even though the comment id was supplied.
+*   PostgreSQL adapter automatically reloads it's type map when encountering
+    unknown OIDs.
 
-    Fix is to use in-memory records only if loaded? is true. Otherwise
-    load the records using full sql.
+    Fixes #14678.
 
-    Fixes #10509.
+    *Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+*   Fix insertion of records via `has_many :through` association with scope.
 
-*   `inspect` on Active Record model classes does not initiate a
-    new connection. This means that calling `inspect`, when the
-    database is missing, will no longer raise an exception.
-    Fixes #10936.
+    Fixes #3548.
 
-    Example:
+    *Ivan Antropov*
 
-        Author.inspect # => "Author(no database connection)"
+*   Auto-generate stable fixture UUIDs on PostgreSQL.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    Fixes #11524.
 
-*   Handle single quotes in PostgreSQL default column values.
-    Fixes #10881.
+    *Roderick van Domburg*
 
-    *Dylan Markow*
+*   Fixed a problem where an enum would overwrite values of another enum
+    with the same name in an unrelated class.
 
-*   Log the sql that is actually sent to the database.
+    Fixes #14607.
 
-    If I have a query that produces sql
-    `WHERE "users"."name" = 'a         b'` then in the log all the
-    whitespace is being squeezed. So the sql that is printed in the
-    log is `WHERE "users"."name" = 'a b'`.
+    *Evan Whalen*
 
-    Do not squeeze whitespace out of sql queries. Fixes #10982.
+*   PostgreSQL and SQLite string columns no longer have a default limit of 255.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    Fixes #13435, #9153.
 
-*   Fixture setup does no longer depend on `ActiveRecord::Base.configurations`.
-    This is relevant when `ENV["DATABASE_URL"]` is used in place of a `database.yml`.
+    *Vladimir Sazhin*, *Toms Mikoss*, *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   Make possible to have an association called `records`.
 
-*   Fix mysql2 adapter raises the correct exception when executing a query on a
-    closed connection.
+    Fixes #11645.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *prathamesh-sonpatki*
 
-*   Ambiguous reflections are on :through relationships are no longer supported.
-    For example, you need to change this:
+*   `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.
 
-        class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_many :posts
-          has_many :taggings, :through => :posts
-        end
+    Fixes #14003.
 
-        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_one :tagging
-          has_many :taggings
-        end
+    *Jefferson Lai*
 
-        class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
-        end
+*   Block a few default Class methods as scope name.
 
-    To this:
+    For instance, this will raise:
 
-        class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_many :posts
-          has_many :taggings, :through => :posts, :source => :tagging
-        end
+        scope :public, -> { where(status: 1) }
 
-        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_one :tagging
-          has_many :taggings
-        end
+    *arthurnn*
 
-        class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
-        end
+*   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`.
 
-    *Aaron Patterson*
+    *Matthew Draper*
 
-*   Remove column restrictions for `count`, let the database raise if the SQL is
-    invalid. The previous behavior was untested and surprising for the user.
-    Fixes #5554.
+*   Treat blank UUID values as `nil`.
 
     Example:
 
-        User.select("name, username").count
-        # Before => SELECT count(*) FROM users
-        # After => ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid
+        Sample.new(uuid_field: '') #=> <Sample id: nil, uuid_field: nil>
 
-        # you can still use `count(:all)` to perform a query unrelated to the
-        # selected columns
-        User.select("name, username").count(:all) # => SELECT count(*) FROM users
+    *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*
 
-*   Rails now automatically detects inverse associations. If you do not set the
-    `:inverse_of` option on the association, then Active Record will guess the
-    inverse association based on heuristics.
+*   Fixed error when specifying a non-empty default value on a PostgreSQL array column.
+
+    Fixes #10613.
+
+    *Luke Steensen*
+
+*   Make possible to change `record_timestamps` inside Callbacks.
+
+    *Tieg Zaharia*
+
+*   Fixed error where .persisted? throws SystemStackError for an unsaved model with a
+    custom primary key that didn't save due to validation error.
 
-    Note that automatic inverse detection only works on `has_many`, `has_one`,
-    and `belongs_to` associations. Extra options on the associations will
-    also prevent the association's inverse from being found automatically.
+    Fixes #14393.
 
-    The automatic guessing of the inverse association uses a heuristic based
-    on the name of the class, so it may not work for all associations,
-    especially the ones with non-standard names.
+    *Chris Finne*
 
-    You can turn off the automatic detection of inverse associations by setting
-    the `:inverse_of` option to `false` like so:
+*   Introduce `validate` as an alias for `valid?`.
 
-        class Taggable < ActiveRecord::Base
-          belongs_to :tag, inverse_of: false
+    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*
 
-    *John Wang*
+*   Use singular table name in generated migrations when
+    `ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names` is `false`.
 
-*   Fix `add_column` with `array` option when using PostgreSQL. Fixes #10432
+    Fixes #13426.
 
-    *Adam Anderson*
+    *Kuldeep Aggarwal*
 
-*   Usage of `implicit_readonly` is being removed`. Please use `readonly` method
-    explicitly to mark records as `readonly.
-    Fixes #10615.
+*   `touch` accepts many attributes to be touched at once.
 
     Example:
 
-        user = User.joins(:todos).select("users.*, todos.title as todos_title").readonly(true).first
-        user.todos_title = 'clean pet'
-        user.save! # will raise error
+        # touches :signed_at, :sealed_at, and :updated_at/on attributes.
+        Photo.last.touch(:signed_at, :sealed_at)
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *James Pinto*
 
-*   Fix the `:primary_key` option for `has_many` associations.
-    Fixes #10693.
+*   `rake db:structure:dump` only dumps schema information if the schema
+    migration table exists.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    Fixes #14217.
 
-*   Fix bug where tiny types are incorrectly coerced as boolean when the length is more than 1.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    Fixes #10620.
+*   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.
 
-    *Aaron Patterson*
+    *Matthew Draper*
 
-*   Also support extensions in PostgreSQL 9.1. This feature has been supported since 9.1.
+*   `pk_and_sequence_for` now ensures that only the pg_depend entries
+    pointing to pg_class, and thus only sequence objects, are considered.
 
-    *kennyj*
+    *Josh Williams*
 
-*   Deprecate `ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements#distinct`,
-    as it is no longer used by internals.
+*   `where.not` adds `references` for `includes` like normal `where` calls do.
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+    Fixes #14406.
 
-*   Fix pending migrations error when loading schema and `ActiveRecord::Base.table_name_prefix`
-    is not blank.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    Call `assume_migrated_upto_version` on connection to prevent it from first
-    being picked up in `method_missing`.
+*   Extend fixture `$LABEL` replacement to allow string interpolation.
 
-    In the base class, `Migration`, `method_missing` expects the argument to be a
-    table name, and calls `proper_table_name` on the arguments before sending to
-    `connection`. If `table_name_prefix` or `table_name_suffix` is used, the schema
-    version changes to `prefix_version_suffix`, breaking `rake test:prepare`.
+    Example:
 
-    Fixes #10411.
+        martin:
+          email: $LABEL@email.com
 
-    *Kyle Stevens*
+        users(:martin).email # => martin@email.com
 
-*   Method `read_attribute_before_type_cast` should accept input as symbol.
+    *Eric Steele*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+*   Add support for `Relation` be passed as parameter on `QueryCache#select_all`.
 
-*   Confirm a record has not already been destroyed before decrementing counter cache.
+    Fixes #14361.
 
-    *Ben Tucker*
+    *arthurnn*
 
-*   Fixed a bug in `ActiveRecord#sanitize_sql_hash_for_conditions` in which
-    `self.class` is an argument to `PredicateBuilder#build_from_hash`
-    causing `PredicateBuilder` to call non-existent method
-    `Class#reflect_on_association`.
+*   Passing an Active Record object to `find` is now deprecated.  Call `.id`
+    on the object first.
 
-    *Zach Ohlgren*
+*   Passing an Active Record object to `find` or `exists?` is now deprecated.
+    Call `.id` on the object first.
 
-*   While removing index if column option is missing then raise IrreversibleMigration exception.
+*   Only use BINARY for MySQL case sensitive uniqueness check when column has a case insensitive collation.
 
-    Following code should raise `IrreversibleMigration`. But the code was
-    failing since options is an array and not a hash.
+    *Ryuta Kamizono*
 
-        def change
-          change_table :users do |t|
-            t.remove_index [:name, :email]
-          end
-        end
+*   Support for MySQL 5.6 fractional seconds.
 
-    Fix was to check if the options is a Hash before operating on it.
+    *arthurnn*, *Tatsuhiko Miyagawa*
 
-    Fixes #10419.
+*   Support for Postgres `citext` data type enabling case-insensitive where
+    values without needing to wrap in UPPER/LOWER sql functions.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Troy Kruthoff*, *Lachlan Sylvester*
 
-*   Do not overwrite manually built records during one-to-one nested attribute assignment
+*   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.
 
-    For one-to-one nested associations, if you build the new (in-memory)
-    child object yourself before assignment, then the NestedAttributes
-    module will not overwrite it, e.g.:
+    *Alan Kennedy*
 
-        class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_one :avatar
-          accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar
+*   Allow strings to specify the `#order` value.
 
-          def avatar
-            super || build_avatar(width: 200)
-          end
-        end
+    Example:
 
-        member = Member.new
-        member.avatar_attributes = {icon: 'sad'}
-        member.avatar.width # => 200
+        Model.order(id: 'asc').to_sql == Model.order(id: :asc).to_sql
 
-    *Olek Janiszewski*
+    *Marcelo Casiraghi*, *Robin Dupret*
 
-*   fixes bug introduced by #3329. Now, when autosaving associations,
-    deletions happen before inserts and saves. This prevents a 'duplicate
-    unique value' database error that would occur if a record being created had
-    the same value on a unique indexed field as that of a record being destroyed.
+*   Dynamically register PostgreSQL enum OIDs. This prevents "unknown OID"
+    warnings on enum columns.
 
-    *Johnny Holton*
+    *Dieter Komendera*
 
-*   Handle aliased attributes in ActiveRecord::Relation.
+*   `includes` is able to detect the right preloading strategy when string
+    joins are involved.
 
-    When using symbol keys, ActiveRecord will now translate aliased attribute names to the actual column name used in the database:
+    Fixes #14109.
 
-    With the model
+    *Aaron Patterson*, *Yves Senn*
 
-        class Topic
-          alias_attribute :heading, :title
-        end
+*   Fixed error with validation with enum fields for records where the
+    value for any enum attribute is always evaluated as 0 during
+    uniqueness validation.
 
-    The call
+    Fixes #14172.
 
-        Topic.where(heading: 'The First Topic')
+    *Vilius Luneckas* *Ahmed AbouElhamayed*
 
-    should yield the same result as
+*   `before_add` callbacks are fired before the record is saved on
+    `has_and_belongs_to_many` assocations *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.
 
-        Topic.where(title: 'The First Topic')
+    Fixes #14144.
 
-    This also applies to ActiveRecord::Relation::Calculations calls such as `Model.sum(:aliased)` and `Model.pluck(:aliased)`.
+*   Fixed STI classes not defining an attribute method if there is a
+    conflicting private method defined on its ancestors.
 
-    This will not work with SQL fragment strings like `Model.sum('DISTINCT aliased')`.
+    Fixes #11569.
 
     *Godfrey Chan*
 
-*   Mute `psql` output when running rake db:schema:load.
+*   Coerce strings when reading attributes. Fixes #10485.
 
-    *Godfrey Chan*
+    Example:
 
-*   Trigger a save on `has_one association=(associate)` when the associate contents have changed.
+        book = Book.new(title: 12345)
+        book.save!
+        book.title # => "12345"
 
-    Fix #8856.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Chris Thompson*
+*   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.
 
-*   Abort a rake task when missing db/structure.sql like `db:schema:load` task.
+    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.
 
-    *kennyj*
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-*   rake:db:test:prepare falls back to original environment after execution.
+*   Support for user created range types in PostgreSQL.
 
-    *Slava Markevich*
+    *Yves Senn*

+  #   class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
+  #     enum status: [ :active, :archived ]
+  #   end
+  #
+  #   # conversation.update! status: 0

+  #   conversation.status  # => "active"
+  #
+  #   # conversation.update! status: 1
+  #   conversation.archived!
+  #   conversation.archived? # => true
+  #   conversation.status    # => "archived"
+  #
+  #   # conversation.update! status: 1
+  #   conversation.status = "archived"
+  #
+  #   # conversation.update! status: nil
+  #   conversation.status = nil
+  #   conversation.status.nil? # => true
+  #   conversation.status      # => nil
+  #
+  # Scopes based on the allowed values of the enum field will be provided
+  # as well. With the above example:
+  #
+  #   Conversation.active
+  #   Conversation.archived
+  #
+  # You can set the default value from the database declaration, like:
+  #
+  #   create_table :conversations do |t|
+  #     t.column :status, :integer, default: 0
+  #   end
+  #
+  # Good practice is to let the first declared status be the default.
+  #
+  # Finally, it's also possible to explicitly map the relation between attribute and
+  # database integer with a +Hash+:
+  #
+  #   class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
+  #     enum status: { active: 0, archived: 1 }
+  #   end
+  #
+  # Note that when an +Array+ is used, the implicit mapping from the values to database
+  # integers is derived from the order the values appear in the array. In the example,
+  # <tt>:active</tt> is mapped to +0+ as it's the first element, and <tt>:archived</tt>
+  # is mapped to +1+. In general, the +i+-th element is mapped to <tt>i-1</tt> in the
+  # database.
+  #
+  # Therefore, once a value is added to the enum array, its position in the array must
+  # be maintained, and new values should only be added to the end of the array. To
+  # remove unused values, the explicit +Hash+ syntax should be used.
+  #
+  # In rare circumstances you might need to access the mapping directly.
+  # The mappings are exposed through a class method with the pluralized attribute
+  # name:
+  #
+  #   Conversation.statuses # => { "active" => 0, "archived" => 1 }
+  #
+  # Use that class method when you need to know the ordinal value of an enum:
+  #
+  #   Conversation.where("status <> ?", Conversation.statuses[:archived])
+  #
+  # Where conditions on an enum attribute must use the ordinal value of an enum.

-        ActiveSupport::Deprecation.behavior = :raise
+    See #12389 for the history and rationale behind this.
 
-    will cause the application to raise an +ActiveSupport::DeprecationException+
-    on deprecations.
+    *Godfrey Chan*
 
-    Use this for aggressive deprecation cleanups.
+*   DateTime `advance` now supports partial days.
 
-    *Xavier Noria*
-
-*   Remove 'cow' => 'kine' irregular inflection from default inflections.
-
-    *Andrew White*
-
-*   Add `DateTime#to_s(:iso8601)` and `Date#to_s(:iso8601)` for consistency.
-
-    *Andrew White*
-
-*   Add `Time#to_s(:iso8601)` for easy conversion of times to the iso8601 format for easy Javascript date parsing.
-
-    *DHH*
-
-*   Improve `ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore` cache size calculation.
-    The memory used by a key/entry pair is calculated via `#cached_size`:
-
-        def cached_size(key, entry)
-          key.to_s.bytesize + entry.size + PER_ENTRY_OVERHEAD
-        end
-
-    The value of `PER_ENTRY_OVERHEAD` is 240 bytes based on an [empirical
-    estimation](https://gist.github.com/ssimeonov/6047200) for 64-bit MRI on
-    1.9.3 and 2.0. GH#11512
-
-    *Simeon Simeonov*
-
-*   Only raise `Module::DelegationError` if it's the source of the exception.
-
-    Fixes #10559
+    Before:
 
-    *Andrew White*
+        DateTime.now.advance(days: 1, hours: 12)
 
-*   Make `Time.at_with_coercion` retain the second fraction and return local time.
+    After:
 
-    Fixes #11350
+        DateTime.now.advance(days: 1.5)
 
-    *Neer Friedman*, *Andrew White*
+    Fixes #12005.
 
-*   Make `HashWithIndifferentAccess#select` always return the hash, even when
-    `Hash#select!` returns `nil`, to allow further chaining.
+    *Shay Davidson*
 
-    *Marc Schütz*
+*   `Hash#deep_transform_keys` and `Hash#deep_transform_keys!` now transform hashes
+    in nested arrays.  This change also applies to `Hash#deep_stringify_keys`,
+    `Hash#deep_stringify_keys!`, `Hash#deep_symbolize_keys` and
+    `Hash#deep_symbolize_keys!`.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `String#encoding_aware?` core extensions (`core_ext/string/encoding`).
+    *OZAWA Sakuro*
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+*   Fixed confusing `DelegationError` in `Module#delegate`.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `Module#local_constant_names` in favor of `Module#local_constants`.
+    See #15186.
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+    *Vladimir Yarotsky*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `DateTime.local_offset` in favor of `DateTime.civil_from_fromat`.
+*   Fixed `ActiveSupport::Subscriber` so that no duplicate subscriber is created
+    when a subscriber method is redefined.
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+    *Dennis Schön*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `Logger` core extensions (`core_ext/logger.rb`).
+*   Remove deprecated string based terminators for `ActiveSupport::Callbacks`.
 
-    *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `Time#time_with_datetime_fallback`, `Time#utc_time`
-    and `Time#local_time` in favor of `Time#utc` and `Time#local`.
+*   Fixed an issue when using
+    `ActiveSupport::NumberHelper::NumberToDelimitedConverter` to
+    convert a value that is an `ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer` introduced
+    in 2da9d67.
 
-    *Vipul A M*
+    See #15064.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `Hash#diff` with no replacement.
+    *Mark J. Titorenko*
 
-    If you're using it to compare hashes for the purpose of testing, please use
-    MiniTest's `assert_equal` instead.
+*   `TimeZone#parse` defaults the day of the month to '1' if any other date
+    components are specified. This is more consistent with the behavior of
+    `Time#parse`.
 
-    *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+    *Ulysse Carion*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `Date#to_time_in_current_zone` in favor of `Date#in_time_zone`.
+*   `humanize` strips leading underscores, if any.
 
-    *Vipul A M*
+    Before:
 
-*   Remove deprecated `Proc#bind` with no replacement.
+        '_id'.humanize # => ""
 
-    *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+    After:
 
-*   Remove deprecated `Array#uniq_by` and `Array#uniq_by!`, use native
-    `Array#uniq` and `Array#uniq!` instead.
+        '_id'.humanize # => "Id"
 
-    *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+    *Xavier Noria*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `ActiveSupport::BasicObject`, use `ActiveSupport::ProxyObject` instead.
+*   Fixed backward compatibility isues introduced in 326e652.
 
-    *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+    Empty Hash or Array should not present in serialization result.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `BufferedLogger`.
+        {a: []}.to_query # => ""
+        {a: {}}.to_query # => ""
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    For more info see #14948.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `assert_present` and `assert_blank` methods.
+    *Bogdan Gusiev*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   Add `SecureRandom::uuid_v3` and `SecureRandom::uuid_v5` to support stable
+    UUID fixtures on PostgreSQL.
 
-*   Fix return value from `BacktraceCleaner#noise` when the cleaner is configured
-    with multiple silencers.
+    *Roderick van Domburg*
 
-    Fixes #11030
+*   Fixed `ActiveSupport::Duration#eql?` so that `1.second.eql?(1.second)` is
+    true.
 
-    *Mark J. Titorenko*
+    This fixes the current situation of:
 
-*   `HashWithIndifferentAccess#select` now returns a `HashWithIndifferentAccess`
-    instance instead of a `Hash` instance.
+        1.second.eql?(1.second) #=> false
 
-    Fixes #10723
+    `eql?` also requires that the other object is an `ActiveSupport::Duration`.
+    This requirement makes `ActiveSupport::Duration`'s behavior consistent with
+    the behavior of Ruby's numeric types:
 
-    *Albert Llop*
+        1.eql?(1.0) #=> false
+        1.0.eql?(1) #=> false
 
-*   Add `DateTime#usec` and `DateTime#nsec` so that `ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone` keeps
-    sub-second resolution when wrapping a `DateTime` value.
+        1.second.eql?(1) #=> false (was true)

-    Fixes #10855
+        { 1 => "foo", 1.0 => "bar" }
+        #=> { 1 => "foo", 1.0 => "bar" }

+        # now => { 1 => "foo", 1.second => "bar" }
+        # was => { 1 => "bar" }
 
-*   Fix `ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Loadable#load_dependency` calling
-    `#blame_file!` on Exceptions that do not have the Blamable mixin
+    And though the behavior of these hasn't changed, for reference:
 
-    *Andrew Kreiling*
+        1 == 1.0 #=> true
+        1.0 == 1 #=> true
 
-*   Override `Time.at` to support the passing of Time-like values when called with a single argument.
+        1 == 1.second #=> true
+        1.second == 1 #=> true
 
-    *Andrew White*
+    *Emily Dobervich*
 
-*   Prevent side effects to hashes inside arrays when
-    `Hash#with_indifferent_access` is called.
+*   `ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer#prepend` acts like `String#prepend` and modifies
+    instance in-place, returning self. `ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer#prepend!` is
+    deprecated.
 
-    Fixes #10526
+    *Pavel Pravosud*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   `HashWithIndifferentAccess` better respects `#to_hash` on objects it's
+    given. In particular, `.new`, `#update`, `#merge`, `#replace` all accept
+    objects which respond to `#to_hash`, even if those objects are not Hashes
+    directly.
 
-*   Raise an error when multiple `included` blocks are defined for a Concern.
-    The old behavior would silently discard previously defined blocks, running
-    only the last one.
+    *Peter Jaros*
 
-    *Mike Dillon*
+*   Deprecate `Class#superclass_delegating_accessor`, use `Class#class_attribute` instead.
 
-*   Replace `multi_json` with `json`.
+    *Akshay Vishnoi*
 
-    Since Rails requires Ruby 1.9 and since Ruby 1.9 includes `json` in the standard library,
-    `multi_json` is no longer necessary.
+*   Ensure classes which `include Enumerable` get `#to_json` in addition to
+    `#as_json`.
 
-    *Erik Michaels-Ober*
+    *Sammy Larbi*
 
-*   Added escaping of U+2028 and U+2029 inside the json encoder.
-    These characters are legal in JSON but break the Javascript interpreter.
-    After escaping them, the JSON is still legal and can be parsed by Javascript.
+*   Change the signature of `fetch_multi` to return a hash rather than an
+    array. This makes it consistent with the output of `read_multi`.
 
-    *Mario Caropreso + Viktor Kelemen + zackham*
+    *Parker Selbert*
 
-*   Fix skipping object callbacks using metadata fetched via callback chain
-    inspection methods (`_*_callbacks`)
+*   Introduce `Concern#class_methods` as a sleek alternative to clunky
+    `module ClassMethods`. Add `Kernel#concern` to define at the toplevel
+    without chunky `module Foo; extend ActiveSupport::Concern` boilerplate.
 
-    *Sean Walbran*
+        # app/models/concerns/authentication.rb
+        concern :Authentication do
+          included do
+            after_create :generate_private_key
+          end
 
-*   Add a `fetch_multi` method to the cache stores. The method provides
-    an easy to use API for fetching multiple values from the cache.
+          class_methods do
+            def authenticate(credentials)
+              # ...
+            end
+          end
 
-    Example:
+          def generate_private_key
+            # ...
+          end
+        end
 
-        # Calculating scores is expensive, so we only do it for posts
-        # that have been updated. Cache keys are automatically extracted
-        # from objects that define a #cache_key method.
-        scores = Rails.cache.fetch_multi(*posts) do |post|
-          calculate_score(post)
+        # app/models/user.rb
+        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+          include Authentication

+  #
+  # We often find ourselves with a medium-sized chunk of behavior that we'd
+  # like to extract, but only mix in to a single class.
+  #
+  # Extracting a plain old Ruby object to encapsulate it and collaborate or
+  # delegate to the original object is often a good choice, but when there's
+  # no additional state to encapsulate or we're making DSL-style declarations
+  # about the parent class, introducing new collaborators can obfuscate rather
+  # than simplify.
+  #
+  # The typical route is to just dump everything in a monolithic class, perhaps
+  # with a comment, as a least-bad alternative. Using modules in separate files
+  # means tedious sifting to get a big-picture view.
+  #
+  # = Dissatisfying ways to separate small concerns
+  #
+  # == Using comments:
+  #
+  #   class Todo
+  #     # Other todo implementation

+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Upgrading to Rails 4.1
+----------------------
+
+If you're upgrading an existing application, it's a great idea to have good test
+coverage before going in. You should also first upgrade to Rails 4.0 in case you
+haven't and make sure your application still runs as expected before attempting
+an update to Rails 4.1. A list of things to watch out for when upgrading is
+available in the
+[Upgrading Ruby on Rails](upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#upgrading-from-rails-4-0-to-rails-4-1)
+guide.
+
+
+Major Features
+--------------
+
+### Spring Application Preloader
+
+Spring is a Rails application preloader. It speeds up development by keeping
+your application running in the background so you don't need to boot it every
+time you run a test, rake task or migration.
+
+New Rails 4.1 applications will ship with "springified" binstubs. This means
+that `bin/rails` and `bin/rake` will automatically take advantage of preloaded
+spring environments.
+
+**Running rake tasks:**
+
+```
+bin/rake test:models
+```
+
+**Running a Rails command:**
+
+```
+bin/rails console
+```
+
+**Spring introspection:**
+
+```
+$ bin/spring status
+Spring is running:
+
+ 1182 spring server | my_app | started 29 mins ago
+ 3656 spring app    | my_app | started 23 secs ago | test mode
+ 3746 spring app    | my_app | started 10 secs ago | development mode
+```
+
+Have a look at the
+[Spring README](https://github.com/rails/spring/blob/master/README.md) to
+see all available features.
+
+See the [Upgrading Ruby on Rails](upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#spring)
+guide on how to migrate existing applications to use this feature.
+
+### `config/secrets.yml`
+
+Rails 4.1 generates a new `secrets.yml` file in the `config` folder. By default,
+this file contains the application's `secret_key_base`, but it could also be
+used to store other secrets such as access keys for external APIs.
+
+The secrets added to this file are accessible via `Rails.application.secrets`.
+For example, with the following `config/secrets.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+development:
+  secret_key_base: 3b7cd727ee24e8444053437c36cc66c3
+  some_api_key: SOMEKEY
+```
+
+`Rails.application.secrets.some_api_key` returns `SOMEKEY` in the development
+environment.
+
+See the [Upgrading Ruby on Rails](upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#config-secrets-yml)
+guide on how to migrate existing applications to use this feature.
+
+### Action Pack Variants
+
+We often want to render different HTML/JSON/XML templates for phones,
+tablets, and desktop browsers. Variants make it easy.
+
+The request variant is a specialization of the request format, like `:tablet`,
+`:phone`, or `:desktop`.
+
+You can set the variant in a `before_action`:
+
+```ruby
+request.variant = :tablet if request.user_agent =~ /iPad/
+```
+
+Respond to variants in the action just like you respond to formats:
+
+```ruby
+respond_to do |format|
+  format.html do |html|
+    html.tablet # renders app/views/projects/show.html+tablet.erb
+    html.phone { extra_setup; render ... }
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Provide separate templates for each format and variant:
+
+```
+app/views/projects/show.html.erb
+app/views/projects/show.html+tablet.erb
+app/views/projects/show.html+phone.erb
+```
+
+You can also simplify the variants definition using the inline syntax:
+
+```ruby
+respond_to do |format|
+  format.js         { render "trash" }
+  format.html.phone { redirect_to progress_path }
+  format.html.none  { render "trash" }
+end
+```
+
+### Action Mailer Previews
+
+Action Mailer previews provide a way to visually see how emails look by visiting
+a special URL that renders them.
+
+You implement a preview class whose methods return the mail object you'd like
+to check:
+
+```ruby
+class NotifierPreview < ActionMailer::Preview
+  def welcome
+    Notifier.welcome(User.first)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+The preview is available in http://localhost:3000/rails/mailers/notifier/welcome,
+and a list of them in http://localhost:3000/rails/mailers.
+
+By default, these preview classes live in `test/mailers/previews`.
+This can be configured using the `preview_path` option.
+
+See its
+[documentation](http://api.rubyonrails.org/v4.1.0/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html)
+for a detailed write up.
+
+### Active Record enums
+
+Declare an enum attribute where the values map to integers in the database, but
+can be queried by name.
+
+```ruby
+class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
+  enum status: [ :active, :archived ]
+end
+
+conversation.archived!
+conversation.active? # => false
+conversation.status  # => "archived"
+
+Conversation.archived # => Relation for all archived Conversations
+
+Conversation.statuses # => { "active" => 0, "archived" => 1 }
+```
+
+See its
+[documentation](http://api.rubyonrails.org/v4.1.0/classes/ActiveRecord/Enum.html)
+for a detailed write up.
+
+### Message Verifiers
+
+Message verifiers can be used to generate and verify signed messages. This can
+be useful to safely transport sensitive data like remember-me tokens and
+friends.
+
+The method `Rails.application.message_verifier` returns a new message verifier
+that signs messages with a key derived from secret_key_base and the given
+message verifier name:
+
+```ruby
+signed_token = Rails.application.message_verifier(:remember_me).generate(token)
+Rails.application.message_verifier(:remember_me).verify(signed_token) # => token
+
+Rails.application.message_verifier(:remember_me).verify(tampered_token)
+# raises ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier::InvalidSignature
+```
+
+### Module#concerning
+
+A natural, low-ceremony way to separate responsibilities within a class:
+
+```ruby
+class Todo < ActiveRecord::Base
+  concerning :EventTracking do
+    included do
+      has_many :events
+    end
+
+    def latest_event
+      ...
+    end
+
+    private
+      def some_internal_method
+        ...
+      end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+This example is equivalent to defining a `EventTracking` module inline,
+extending it with `ActiveSupport::Concern`, then mixing it in to the
+`Todo` class.
+
+See its
+[documentation](http://api.rubyonrails.org/v4.1.0/classes/Module/Concerning.html)
+for a detailed write up and the intended use cases.
+
+### CSRF protection from remote `<script>` tags
+
+Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection now covers GET requests with
+JavaScript responses, too. That prevents a third-party site from referencing
+your JavaScript URL and attempting to run it to extract sensitive data.
+
+This means any of your tests that hit `.js` URLs will now fail CSRF protection
+unless they use `xhr`. Upgrade your tests to be explicit about expecting
+XmlHttpRequests. Instead of `post :create, format: :js`, switch to the explicit
+`xhr :post, :create, format: :js`.
+

+
+### Removals
+
+* Removed `update:application_controller` rake task.
+
+* Removed deprecated `Rails.application.railties.engines`.
+
+* Removed deprecated `threadsafe!` from Rails Config.
+

+
+* Removed deprecated `config.whiny_nils` option.
+
+* Removed deprecated rake tasks for running tests: `rake test:uncommitted` and
+  `rake test:recent`.
+
+### Notable changes
+
+* The [Spring application
+  preloader](https://github.com/rails/spring) is now installed
+  by default for new applications. It uses the development group of
+  the Gemfile, so will not be installed in
+  production. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12958))
+
+* `BACKTRACE` environment variable to show unfiltered backtraces for test
+  failures. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/84eac5dab8b0fe9ee20b51250e52ad7bfea36553))
+
+* Exposed `MiddlewareStack#unshift` to environment
+  configuration. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12479))
+
+* Added `Application#message_verifier` method to return a message
+  verifier. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12995))
+
+* The `test_help.rb` file which is required by the default generated test
+  helper will automatically keep your test database up-to-date with
+  `db/schema.rb` (or `db/structure.sql`). It raises an error if
+  reloading the schema does not resolve all pending migrations. Opt out
+  with `config.active_record.maintain_test_schema = false`. ([Pull
+  Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13528))
+
+* Introduce `Rails.gem_version` as a convenience method to return
+  `Gem::Version.new(Rails.version)`, suggesting a more reliable way to perform
+  version comparison. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/14103))

+### Notable changes
+
+* `protect_from_forgery` also prevents cross-origin `<script>` tags.
+  Update your tests to use `xhr :get, :foo, format: :js` instead of
+  `get :foo, format: :js`.
+  ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13345))
+
+* `#url_for` takes a hash with options inside an
+  array. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/9599))
+
+* Added `session#fetch` method fetch behaves similarly to
+  [Hash#fetch](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Hash.html#method-i-fetch),

+
+* New config option `config.action_dispatch.perform_deep_munge` to opt out of
+  params "deep munging" that was used to address security vulnerability
+  CVE-2013-0155. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13188))
+
+* New config option `config.action_dispatch.cookies_serializer` for specifying a
+  serializer for the signed and encrypted cookie jars. (Pull Requests

+* Removed usage of `implicit_readonly`. Please use `readonly` method
+  explicitly to mark records as
+  `readonly`. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/10769))
+
+### Deprecations
+
+* Deprecated `quoted_locking_column` method, which isn't used anywhere.
+
+* Deprecated `ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements#distinct`,
+  as it is no longer used by internals. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/10556))
+
+* Deprecated `rake db:test:*` tasks as the test database is now
+  automatically maintained. See railties release notes. ([Pull
+  Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13528))
+
+* Deprecate unused `ActiveRecord::Base.symbolized_base_class`
+  and `ActiveRecord::Base.symbolized_sti_name` without
+  replacement. [Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/97e7ca48c139ea5cce2fa9b4be631946252a1ebd)
+
+### Notable changes
+
+* Default scopes are no longer overridden by chained conditions.
+
+  Before this change when you defined a `default_scope` in a model
+  it was overridden by chained conditions in the same field. Now it
+  is merged like any other scope. [More Details](upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#changes-on-default-scopes).
+
+* Added `ActiveRecord::Base.to_param` for convenient "pretty" URLs derived from
+  a model's attribute or
+  method. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12891))
+
+* Added `ActiveRecord::Base.no_touching`, which allows ignoring touch on
+  models. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12772))
+
+* Unify boolean type casting for `MysqlAdapter` and `Mysql2Adapter`.
+  `type_cast` will return `1` for `true` and `0` for `false`. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12425))
+
+* `.unscope` now removes conditions specified in
+  `default_scope`. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/94924dc32baf78f13e289172534c2e71c9c8cade))
+
+* Added `ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#rewhere` which will overwrite an existing,
+  named where condition. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/f950b2699f97749ef706c6939a84dfc85f0b05f2))
+
+* Extended `ActiveRecord::Base#cache_key` to take an optional list of timestamp
+  attributes of which the highest will be used. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/e94e97ca796c0759d8fcb8f946a3bbc60252d329))
+
+* Added `ActiveRecord::Base#enum` for declaring enum attributes where the values
+  map to integers in the database, but can be queried by
+  name. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/db41eb8a6ea88b854bf5cd11070ea4245e1639c5))
+
+* Type cast json values on write, so that the value is consistent with reading
+  from the database. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12643))
+
+* Type cast hstore values on write, so that the value is consistent
+  with reading from the database. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/5ac2341fab689344991b2a4817bd2bc8b3edac9d))
+
+* Make `next_migration_number` accessible for third party
+  generators. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12407))
+
+* 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`. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/9860))
+
+* `CollectionAssociation#first`/`#last` (e.g. `has_many`) use a `LIMIT`ed
+  query to fetch results rather than loading the entire
+  collection. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12137))
+
+* `inspect` on Active Record model classes does not initiate a new
+  connection. This means that calling `inspect`, when the database is missing,
+  will no longer raise an exception. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/11014))
+
+* Removed column restrictions for `count`, let the database raise if the SQL is
+  invalid. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/10710))
+
+* Rails now automatically detects inverse associations. If you do not set the
+  `:inverse_of` option on the association, then Active Record will guess the
+  inverse association based on heuristics. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/10886))
+
+* Handle aliased attributes in ActiveRecord::Relation. When using symbol keys,
+  ActiveRecord will now translate aliased attribute names to the actual column
+  name used in the database. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/7839))
+
+* The ERB in fixture files is no longer evaluated in the context of the main
+  object. Helper methods used by multiple fixtures should be defined on modules
+  included in `ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.context_class`. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13022))
+
+* Don't create or drop the test database if RAILS_ENV is specified
+  explicitly. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13629))
+
+* `Relation` no longer has mutator methods like `#map!` and `#delete_if`. Convert
+  to an `Array` by calling `#to_a` before using these methods. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13314))
+
+* `find_in_batches`, `find_each`, `Result#each` and `Enumerable#index_by` now
+  return an `Enumerator` that can calculate its
+  size. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13938))
+
+* `scope`, `enum` and Associations now raise on "dangerous" name
+  conflicts. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13450),
+  [Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13896))
+
+* `second` through `fifth` methods act like the `first`
+  finder. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13757))
+
+* Make `touch` fire the `after_commit` and `after_rollback`
+  callbacks. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12031))
+
+* Enable partial indexes for `sqlite >= 3.8.0`.
+  ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13350))
+
+* Make `change_column_null`
+  revertible. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/724509a9d5322ff502aefa90dd282ba33a281a96))
+
+* Added a flag to disable schema dump after migration. This is set to `false`
+  by default in the production environment for new applications.
+  ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13948))

+[Changelog](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/4-1-stable/activemodel/CHANGELOG.md)
+for detailed changes.
+
+### Deprecations
+
+* Deprecate `Validator#setup`. This should be done manually now in the
+  validator's constructor. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/7d84c3a2f7ede0e8d04540e9c0640de7378e9b3a))
+
+### Notable changes
+
+* Added new API methods `reset_changes` and `changes_applied` to
+  `ActiveModel::Dirty` that control changes state.

+for detailed changes.
+
+
+### Removals
+
+* Removed `MultiJSON` dependency. As a result, `ActiveSupport::JSON.decode`
+  no longer accepts an options hash for `MultiJSON`. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/10576) / [More Details](upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#changes-in-json-handling))
+
+* Removed support for the `encode_json` hook used for encoding custom objects into
+  JSON. This feature has been extracted into the [activesupport-json_encoder](https://github.com/rails/activesupport-json_encoder)
+  gem.
+  ([Related Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12183) /

+
+* Removed deprecated `Hash#diff` with no replacement.
+
+* Removed deprecated `Date#to_time_in_current_zone` in favor of `Date#in_time_zone`.
+
+* Removed deprecated `Proc#bind` with no replacement.
+
+* Removed deprecated `Array#uniq_by` and `Array#uniq_by!`, use native
+  `Array#uniq` and `Array#uniq!` instead.
+
+* Removed deprecated `ActiveSupport::BasicObject`, use
+  `ActiveSupport::ProxyObject` instead.
+
+* Removed deprecated `BufferedLogger`, use `ActiveSupport::Logger` instead.
+
+* Removed deprecated `assert_present` and `assert_blank` methods, use `assert
+  object.blank?` and `assert object.present?` instead.
+
+* Remove deprecated `#filter` method for filter objects, use the corresponding
+  method instead (e.g. `#before` for a before filter).
+
+* Removed 'cow' => 'kine' irregular inflection from default
+  inflections. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/c300dca9963bda78b8f358dbcb59cabcdc5e1dc9))
+
+### Deprecations
+
+* Deprecated `Numeric#{ago,until,since,from_now}`, the user is expected to
+  explicitly convert the value into an AS::Duration, i.e. `5.ago` => `5.seconds.ago`
+  ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12389))
+
+* Deprecated the require path `active_support/core_ext/object/to_json`. Require
+  `active_support/core_ext/object/json` instead. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12203))
+

+  has been extracted into the [activesupport-json_encoder](https://github.com/rails/activesupport-json_encoder)
+  gem.
+  ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12785) /

+
+* Deprecate custom `BigDecimal`
+  serialization. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13911))
+
+### Notable changes
+
+* `ActiveSupport`'s JSON encoder has been rewritten to take advantage of the
+  JSON gem rather than doing custom encoding in pure-Ruby.
+  ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12183) /
+  [More Details](upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#changes-in-json-handling))
+
+* Improved compatibility with the JSON gem.

+  [More Details](upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#changes-in-json-handling))
+
+* Added `ActiveSupport::Testing::TimeHelpers#travel` and `#travel_to`. These
+  methods change current time to the given time or duration by stubbing
+  `Time.now` and `Date.today`.
+
+* Added `ActiveSupport::Testing::TimeHelpers#travel_back`. This method returns
+  the current time to the original state, by removing the stubs added by `travel`
+  and `travel_to`. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13884))
+
+* Added `Numeric#in_milliseconds`, like `1.hour.in_milliseconds`, so we can feed
+  them to JavaScript functions like
+  `getTime()`. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/423249504a2b468d7a273cbe6accf4f21cb0e643))
+
+* Added `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. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/10879))
+
+* Added `Date#all_week/month/quarter/year` for generating date
+  ranges. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/9685))
+
+* Added `Time.zone.yesterday` and
+  `Time.zone.tomorrow`. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/12822))
+
+* Added `String#remove(pattern)` as a short-hand for the common pattern of

+  singletons. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/126dc47665c65cd129967cbd8a5926dddd0aa514))
+
+* Default the new `I18n.enforce_available_locales` config to `true`, meaning
+  `I18n` will make sure that all locales passed to it must be declared in the
+  `available_locales`
+  list. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13341))
+
+* Introduce `Module#concerning`: a natural, low-ceremony way to separate
+  responsibilities within a
+  class. ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/1eee0ca6de975b42524105a59e0521d18b38ab81))
+
+* Added `Object#presence_in` to simplify value whitelisting.
+  ([Commit](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/4edca106daacc5a159289eae255207d160f22396))

 For most stores, this ID is used to look up the session data on the server, e.g. in a database table. There is one exception, and that is the default and recommended session store - the CookieStore - which stores all session data in the cookie itself (the ID is still available to you if you need it). This has the advantage of being very lightweight and it requires zero setup in a new application in order to use the session. The cookie data is cryptographically signed to make it tamper-proof. And it is also encrypted so anyone with access to it can't read its contents. (Rails will not accept it if it has been edited).

@@ -568,6 +587,62 @@ end
 
 Note that while for session values you set the key to `nil`, to delete a cookie value you should use `cookies.delete(:key)`.
 
+Rails also provides a signed cookie jar and an encrypted cookie jar for storing
+sensitive data. The signed cookie jar appends a cryptographic signature on the
+cookie values to protect their integrity. The encrypted cookie jar encrypts the
+values in addition to signing them, so that they cannot be read by the end user.
+Refer to the [API documentation](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionDispatch/Cookies.html)
+for more details.
+
+These special cookie jars use a serializer to serialize the assigned values into
+strings and deserializes them into Ruby objects on read.
+
+You can specify what serializer to use:
+
+```ruby
+Rails.application.config.action_dispatch.cookies_serializer = :json
+```
+
+The default serializer for new applications is `:json`. For compatibility with
+old applications with existing cookies, `:marshal` is used when `serializer`
+option is not specified.
+
+You may also set this option to `:hybrid`, in which case Rails would transparently
+deserialize existing (`Marshal`-serialized) cookies on read and re-write them in
+the `JSON` format. This is useful for migrating existing applications to the
+`:json` serializer.
+
+It is also possible to pass a custom serializer that responds to `load` and
+`dump`:
+
+```ruby
+Rails.application.config.action_dispatch.cookies_serializer = MyCustomSerializer
+```
+
+When using the `:json` or `:hybrid` serializer, you should beware that not all
+Ruby objects can be serialized as JSON. For example, `Date` and `Time` objects
+will be serialized as strings, and `Hash`es will have their keys stringified.
+
+```ruby
+class CookiesController < ApplicationController
+  def set_cookie
+    cookies.encrypted[:expiration_date] = Date.tomorrow # => Thu, 20 Mar 2014
+    redirect_to action: 'read_cookie'
+  end
+
+  def read_cookie
+    cookies.encrypted[:expiration_date] # => "2014-03-20"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+It's advisable that you only store simple data (strings and numbers) in cookies.
+If you have to store complex objects, you would need to handle the conversion
+manually when reading the values on subsequent requests.
+
+If you use the cookie session store, this would apply to the `session` and
+`flash` hash as well.

Classes used as around filters can also use the same `filter` method, which will get run in the same way. The method must `yield` to execute the action.

 Localized Views
 ---------------
 
 Action View has the ability render different templates depending on the current locale.
 
-For example, suppose you have a Posts controller with a show action. By default, calling this action will render `app/views/posts/show.html.erb`. But if you set `I18n.locale = :de`, then `app/views/posts/show.de.html.erb` will be rendered instead. If the localized template isn't present, the undecorated version will be used. This means you're not required to provide localized views for all cases, but they will be preferred and used if available.
+For example, suppose you have a `ArticlesController` with a show action. By default, calling this action will render `app/views/articles/show.html.erb`.

This means you're not required to provide localized views for all cases, but they will be preferred and used if available.
 
 You can use the same technique to localize the rescue files in your public directory. For example, setting `I18n.locale = :de` and creating `public/500.de.html` and `public/404.de.html` would allow you to have localized rescue pages.

+Active Record and PostgreSQL
+============================
+
+This guide covers PostgreSQL specific usage of Active Record.
+
+After reading this guide, you will know:
+
+* How to use PostgreSQL's datatypes.
+* How to use UUID primary keys.
+* How to implement full text search with PostgreSQL.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In order to use the PostgreSQL adapter you need to have at least version 8.2
+installed. Older versions are not supported.
+
+To get started with PostgreSQL have a look at the
+[configuring Rails guide](configuring.html#configuring-a-postgresql-database).
+It describes how to properly setup Active Record for PostgreSQL.
+
+Datatypes
+---------
+
+PostgreSQL offers a number of specific datatypes. Following is a list of types,
+that are supported by the PostgreSQL adapter.
+
+### Bytea
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/datatype-binary.html)
+* [functions and operators](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-binarystring.html)
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20140207133952_create_documents.rb
+create_table :documents do |t|
+  t.binary 'payload'
+end
+
+# app/models/document.rb
+class Document < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+data = File.read(Rails.root + "tmp/output.pdf")
+Document.create payload: data
+```
+
+### Array
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/arrays.html)
+* [functions and operators](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-array.html)
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20140207133952_create_books.rb
+create_table :book do |t|
+  t.string 'title'
+  t.string 'tags', array: true
+  t.integer 'ratings', array: true
+end
+
+# app/models/book.rb
+class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+Book.create title: "Brave New World",
+            tags: ["fantasy", "fiction"],
+            ratings: [4, 5]
+
+## Books for a single tag
+Book.where("'fantasy' = ANY (tags)")
+
+## Books for multiple tags
+Book.where("tags @> ARRAY[?]::varchar[]", ["fantasy", "fiction"])
+
+## Books with 3 or more ratings
+Book.where("array_length(ratings, 1) >= 3")
+```
+
+### Hstore
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/hstore.html)
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20131009135255_create_profiles.rb
+ActiveRecord::Schema.define do
+  create_table :profiles do |t|
+    t.hstore 'settings'
+  end
+end
+
+# app/models/profile.rb
+class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+Profile.create(settings: { "color" => "blue", "resolution" => "800x600" })
+
+profile = Profile.first
+profile.settings # => {"color"=>"blue", "resolution"=>"800x600"}
+
+profile.settings = {"color" => "yellow", "resolution" => "1280x1024"}
+profile.save!
+
+## you need to call _will_change! if you are editing the store in place
+profile.settings["color"] = "green"
+profile.settings_will_change!
+profile.save!
+```
+
+### JSON
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/datatype-json.html)
+* [functions and operators](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-json.html)
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20131220144913_create_events.rb
+create_table :events do |t|
+  t.json 'payload'
+end
+
+# app/models/event.rb
+class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+Event.create(payload: { kind: "user_renamed", change: ["jack", "john"]})
+
+event = Event.first
+event.payload # => {"kind"=>"user_renamed", "change"=>["jack", "john"]}
+
+## Query based on JSON document
+Event.where("payload->'kind' = ?", "user_renamed")
+```
+
+### Range Types
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/rangetypes.html)
+* [functions and operators](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-range.html)
+
+This type is mapped to Ruby [`Range`](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.1/Range.html) objects.
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20130923065404_create_events.rb
+create_table :events do |t|
+  t.daterange 'duration'
+end
+
+# app/models/event.rb
+class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+Event.create(duration: Date.new(2014, 2, 11)..Date.new(2014, 2, 12))
+
+event = Event.first
+event.duration # => Tue, 11 Feb 2014...Thu, 13 Feb 2014
+
+## All Events on a given date
+Event.where("duration @> ?::date", Date.new(2014, 2, 12))
+
+## Working with range bounds
+event = Event.
+  select("lower(duration) AS starts_at").
+  select("upper(duration) AS ends_at").first
+
+event.starts_at # => Tue, 11 Feb 2014
+event.ends_at # => Thu, 13 Feb 2014
+```
+
+### Composite Types
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/rowtypes.html)
+
+Currently there is no special support for composite types. They are mapped to
+normal text columns:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TYPE full_address AS
+(
+  city VARCHAR(90),
+  street VARCHAR(90)
+);
+```
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20140207133952_create_contacts.rb
+execute <<-SQL
+ CREATE TYPE full_address AS
+ (
+   city VARCHAR(90),
+   street VARCHAR(90)
+ );
+SQL
+create_table :contacts do |t|
+  t.column :address, :full_address
+end
+
+# app/models/contact.rb
+class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+Contact.create address: "(Paris,Champs-Élysées)"
+contact = Contact.first
+contact.address # => "(Paris,Champs-Élysées)"
+contact.address = "(Paris,Rue Basse)"
+contact.save!
+```
+
+### Enumerated Types
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/datatype-enum.html)
+
+Currently there is no special support for enumerated types. They are mapped as
+normal text columns:
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20131220144913_create_events.rb
+execute <<-SQL
+  CREATE TYPE article_status AS ENUM ('draft', 'published');
+SQL
+create_table :articles do |t|
+  t.column :status, :article_status
+end
+
+# app/models/article.rb
+class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+Article.create status: "draft"
+article = Article.first
+article.status # => "draft"
+
+article.status = "published"
+article.save!
+```
+
+### UUID
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/datatype-uuid.html)
+* [generator functions](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/uuid-ossp.html)
+
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20131220144913_create_revisions.rb
+create_table :revisions do |t|
+  t.column :identifier, :uuid
+end
+
+# app/models/revision.rb
+class Revision < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+Revision.create identifier: "A0EEBC99-9C0B-4EF8-BB6D-6BB9BD380A11"
+
+revision = Revision.first
+revision.identifier # => "a0eebc99-9c0b-4ef8-bb6d-6bb9bd380a11"
+```
+
+### Bit String Types
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/datatype-bit.html)
+* [functions and operators](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-bitstring.html)
+
+```ruby

+  t.column :settings, "bit(8)"
+end
+
+# app/models/device.rb
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+User.create settings: "01010011"
+user = User.first
+user.settings # => "(Paris,Champs-Élysées)"
+user.settings = "0xAF"
+user.settings # => 10101111
+user.save!
+```
+
+### Network Address Types
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/datatype-net-types.html)
+
+The types `inet` and `cidr` are mapped to Ruby
+[`IPAddr`](http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.1.1/libdoc/ipaddr/rdoc/IPAddr.html)
+objects. The `macaddr` type is mapped to normal text.
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20140508144913_create_devices.rb
+create_table(:devices, force: true) do |t|
+  t.inet 'ip'
+  t.cidr 'network'
+  t.macaddr 'address'
+end
+
+# app/models/device.rb
+class Device < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+macbook = Device.create(ip: "192.168.1.12",
+                        network: "192.168.2.0/24",
+                        address: "32:01:16:6d:05:ef")
+
+macbook.ip
+# => #<IPAddr: IPv4:192.168.1.12/255.255.255.255>
+
+macbook.network
+# => #<IPAddr: IPv4:192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0>
+
+macbook.address
+# => "32:01:16:6d:05:ef"
+```
+
+### Geometric Types
+
+* [type definition](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/datatype-geometric.html)
+
+All geometric types are mapped to normal text.
+
+
+UUID Primary Keys
+-----------------
+
+NOTE: you need to enable the `uuid-ossp` extension to generate UUIDs.
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20131220144913_create_devices.rb
+enable_extension 'uuid-ossp' unless extension_enabled?('uuid-ossp')
+create_table :devices, id: :uuid, default: 'uuid_generate_v4()' do |t|
+  t.string :kind
+end
+
+# app/models/device.rb
+class Device < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+device = Device.create
+device.id # => "814865cd-5a1d-4771-9306-4268f188fe9e"
+```
+
+Full Text Search
+----------------
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20131220144913_create_documents.rb
+create_table :documents do |t|
+  t.string 'title'
+  t.string 'body'
+end
+
+execute "CREATE INDEX documents_idx ON documents USING gin(to_tsvector('english', title || ' ' || body));"
+
+# app/models/document.rb
+class Document < ActiveRecord::Base
+end
+
+# Usage
+Document.create(title: "Cats and Dogs", body: "are nice!")
+
+## all documents matching 'cat & dog'
+Document.where("to_tsvector('english', title || ' ' || body) @@ to_tsquery(?)",
+                 "cat & dog")
+```
+
+Views
+-----
+
+* [view creation](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/sql-createview.html)
+
+Imagine you need to work with a legacy database containing the following table:
+
+```
+rails_pg_guide=# \d "TBL_ART"
+                                        Table "public.TBL_ART"
+   Column   |            Type             |                         Modifiers
+------------+-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------
+ INT_ID     | integer                     | not null default nextval('"TBL_ART_INT_ID_seq"'::regclass)
+ STR_TITLE  | character varying           |
+ STR_STAT   | character varying           | default 'draft'::character varying
+ DT_PUBL_AT | timestamp without time zone |
+ BL_ARCH    | boolean                     | default false
+Indexes:
+    "TBL_ART_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree ("INT_ID")
+```
+
+This table does not follow the Rails conventions at all.
+Because simple PostgreSQL views are updateable by default,
+we can wrap it as follows:
+
+```ruby
+# db/migrate/20131220144913_create_articles_view.rb
+execute <<-SQL
+CREATE VIEW articles AS
+  SELECT "INT_ID" AS id,
+         "STR_TITLE" AS title,
+         "STR_STAT" AS status,
+         "DT_PUBL_AT" AS published_at,
+         "BL_ARCH" AS archived
+  FROM "TBL_ART"
+  WHERE "BL_ARCH" = 'f'
+  SQL
+
+# app/models/article.rb
+class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
+  self.primary_key = "id"
+  def archive!
+    update_attribute :archived, true
+  end
+end
+
+# Usage
+first = Article.create! title: "Winter is coming",
+                        status: "published",
+                        published_at: 1.year.ago
+second = Article.create! title: "Brace yourself",
+                         status: "draft",
+                         published_at: 1.month.ago
+
+Article.count # => 1
+first.archive!
+p Article.count # => 2
+```
+
+NOTE: This application only cares about non-archived `Articles`. A view also
+allows for conditions so we can exclude the archived `Articles` directly.

This could be used, for instance, to track how long a specific action has taken.

+
+Method Visibility
+-----------------
+
+When writing documentation for Rails, it's important to understand the difference between public user-facing API vs internal API.
+
+Rails, like most libraries, uses the private keyword from Ruby for defining internal API. However, public API follows a slightly different convention. Instead of assuming all public methods are designed for user consumption, Rails uses the `:nodoc:` directive to annotate these kinds of methods as internal API.
+
+This means that there are methods in Rails with `public` visibility that aren't meant for user consumption.
+
+An example of this is `ActiveRecord::Core::ClassMethods#arel_table`:
+
+```ruby
+module ActiveRecord::Core::ClassMethods
+  def arel_table #:nodoc:
+    # do some magic..
+  end
+end
+```
+
+If you thought, "this method looks like a public class method for `ActiveRecord::Core`", you were right. But actually the Rails team doesn't want users to rely on this method. So they mark it as `:nodoc:` and it's removed from public documentation. The reasoning behind this is to allow the team to change these methods according to their internal needs across releases as they see fit. The name of this method could change, or the return value, or this entire class may disappear; there's no guarantee and so you shouldn't depend on this API in your plugins or applications. Otherwise, you risk your app or gem breaking when you upgrade to a newer release of Rails.
+
+As a contributor, it's important to think about whether this API is meant for end-user consumption. The Rails team is committed to not making any breaking changes to public API across releases without going through a full deprecation cycle. It's recommended that you `:nodoc:` any of your internal methods/classes unless they're already private (meaning visibility), in which case it's internal by default. Once the API stabilizes the visibility can change, but changing public API is much harder due to backwards compatibility.
+
+A class or module is marked with `:nodoc:` to indicate that all methods are internal API and should never be used directly.
+
+If you come across an existing `:nodoc:` you should tread lightly. Consider asking someone from the core team or author of the code before removing it. This should almost always happen through a pull request instead of the docrails project.
+
+A `:nodoc:` should never be added simply because a method or class is missing documentation. There may be an instance where an internal public method wasn't given a `:nodoc:` by mistake, for example when switching a method from private to public visibility. When this happens it should be discussed over a PR on a case-by-case basis and never committed directly to docrails.
+
+To summarize, the Rails team uses `:nodoc:` to mark publicly visible methods and classes for internal use; changes to the visibility of API should be considered carefully and discussed over a pull request first.
+
+If you have a question on how the Rails team handles certain API, don't hesitate to open a ticket or send a patch to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/rails/rails/issues).

 Page caching is a Rails mechanism which allows the request for a generated page to be fulfilled by the webserver (i.e. Apache or nginx), without ever having to go through the Rails stack at all. Obviously, this is super-fast. Unfortunately, it can't be applied to every situation (such as pages that need authentication) and since the webserver is literally just serving a file from the filesystem, cache expiration is an issue that needs to be dealt with.

 ### Action Caching
 
 Page Caching cannot be used for actions that have before filters - for example, pages that require authentication. This is where Action Caching comes in. Action Caching works like Page Caching except the incoming web request hits the Rails stack so that before filters can be run on it before the cache is served. This allows authentication and other restrictions to be run while still serving the result of the output from a cached copy.

 It's called "Russian Doll Caching" because it nests multiple fragments. The advantage is that if a single product is updated, all the other inner fragments can be reused when regenerating the outer fragment.
 
+### Low-Level Caching
+
+Sometimes you need to cache a particular value or query result, instead of caching view fragments. Rails caching mechanism works great for storing __any__ kind of information.
+
+The most efficient way to implement low-level caching is using the `Rails.cache.fetch` method. This method does both reading and writing to the cache. When passed only a single argument, the key is fetched and value from the cache is returned. If a block is passed, the result of the block will be cached to the given key and the result is returned.
+
+Consider the following example. An application has a `Product` model with an instance method that looks up the product’s price on a competing website. The data returned by this method would be perfect for low-level caching:
+
+```ruby
+class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
+  def competing_price
+    Rails.cache.fetch("#{cache_key}/competing_price", expires_in: 12.hours) do
+      Competitor::API.find_price(id)
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+NOTE: Notice that in this example we used `cache_key` method, so the resulting cache-key will be something like `products/233-20140225082222765838000/competing_price`. `cache_key` generates a string based on the model’s `id` and `updated_at` attributes. This is a common convention and has the benefit of invalidating the cache whenever the product is updated. In general, when you use low-level caching for instance level information, you need to generate a cache key.

 ### Configuring a Database
 
-Just about every Rails application will interact with a database. The database to use is specified in a configuration file called `config/database.yml`. If you open this file in a new Rails application, you'll see a default database configured to use SQLite3. The file contains sections for three different environments in which Rails can run by default:
+Just about every Rails application will interact with a database. You can connect to the database by setting an environment variable `ENV['DATABASE_URL']` or by using a configuration file called `config/database.yml`.
+
+Using the `config/database.yml` file you can specify all the information needed to access your database:
+
+```yaml
+development:
+  adapter: postgresql
+  database: blog_development
+  pool: 5
+```
+
+This will connect to the database named `blog_development` using the `postgresql` adapter. This same information can be stored in a URL and provided via an environment variable like this:
+
+```ruby
+> puts ENV['DATABASE_URL']
+postgresql://localhost/blog_development?pool=5
+```
+
+The `config/database.yml` file contains sections for three different environments in which Rails can run by default:
 
 * The `development` environment is used on your development/local computer as you interact manually with the application.
 * The `test` environment is used when running automated tests.
 * The `production` environment is used when you deploy your application for the world to use.
 
+If you wish, you can manually specify a URL inside of your `config/database.yml`
+
+```
+development:
+  url: postgresql://localhost/blog_development?pool=5
+```
+
+The `config/database.yml` file can contain ERB tags `<%= %>`. Anything in the tags will be evaluated as Ruby code. You can use this to pull out data from an environment variable or to perform calculations to generate the needed connection information.
+
+
 TIP: You don't have to update the database configurations manually. If you look at the options of the application generator, you will see that one of the options is named `--database`. This option allows you to choose an adapter from a list of the most used relational databases. You can even run the generator repeatedly: `cd .. && rails new blog --database=mysql`. When you confirm the overwriting of the `config/database.yml` file, your application will be configured for MySQL instead of SQLite. Detailed examples of the common database connections are below.
 
+
+### Connection Preference
+
+Since there are two ways to set your connection, via environment variable it is important to understand how the two can interact.
+
+If you have an empty `config/database.yml` file but your `ENV['DATABASE_URL']` is present, then Rails will connect to the database via your environment variable:
+
+```
+$ cat config/database.yml
+
+$ echo $DATABASE_URL
+postgresql://localhost/my_database
+```
+
+If you have a `config/database.yml` but no `ENV['DATABASE_URL']` then this file will be used to connect to your database:
+
+```
+$ cat config/database.yml
+development:
+  adapter: postgresql
+  database: my_database
+  host: localhost
+
+$ echo $DATABASE_URL
+```
+
+If you have both `config/database.yml` and `ENV['DATABASE_URL']` set then Rails will merge the configuration together. To better understand this we must see some examples.
+
+When duplicate connection information is provided the environment variable will take precedence:
+
+```
+$ cat config/database.yml
+development:
+  adapter: sqlite3
+  database: NOT_my_database
+  host: localhost
+
+$ echo $DATABASE_URL
+postgresql://localhost/my_database
+
+$ bin/rails runner 'puts ActiveRecord::Base.connections'
+{"development"=>{"adapter"=>"postgresql", "host"=>"localhost", "database"=>"my_database"}}
+```
+
+Here the adapter, host, and database match the information in `ENV['DATABASE_URL']`.
+
+If non-duplicate information is provided you will get all unique values, environment variable still takes precedence in cases of any conflicts.
+
+```
+$ cat config/database.yml
+development:
+  adapter: sqlite3
+  pool: 5
+
+$ echo $DATABASE_URL
+postgresql://localhost/my_database
+
+$ bin/rails runner 'puts ActiveRecord::Base.connections'
+{"development"=>{"adapter"=>"postgresql", "host"=>"localhost", "database"=>"my_database", "pool"=>5}}
+```
+
+Since pool is not in the `ENV['DATABASE_URL']` provided connection information its information is merged in. Since `adapter` is duplicate, the `ENV['DATABASE_URL']` connection information wins.
+
+The only way to explicitly not use the connection information in `ENV['DATABASE_URL']` is to specify an explicit URL connection using the `"url"` sub key:
+
+```
+$ cat config/database.yml
+development:
+  url: sqlite3:NOT_my_database
+
+$ echo $DATABASE_URL
+postgresql://localhost/my_database
+
+$ bin/rails runner 'puts ActiveRecord::Base.connections'
+{"development"=>{"adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"NOT_my_database"}}
+```
+
+Here the connection information in `ENV['DATABASE_URL']` is ignored, note the different adapter and database name.
+
+Since it is possible to embed ERB in your `config/database.yml` it is best practice to explicitly show you are using the `ENV['DATABASE_URL']` to connect to your database. This is especially useful in production since you should not commit secrets like your database password into your source control (such as Git).
+
+```
+$ cat config/database.yml
+production:
+  url: <%= ENV['DATABASE_URL'] %>
+```
+
+Now the behavior is clear, that we are only using the connection information in `ENV['DATABASE_URL']`.

 #### Configuring an SQLite3 Database
 
 Rails comes with built-in support for [SQLite3](http://www.sqlite.org), which is a lightweight serverless database application.

 #### Using a Reverse Proxy
 
-TODO
+Deploying your application using a reverse proxy has definite advantages over traditional deploys. They allow you to have more control over your server by layering the components required by your application.
+
+Many modern web servers can be used as a proxy server to balance third-party elements such as caching servers or application servers.
+
+One such application server you can use is [Unicorn](http://unicorn.bogomips.org/) to run behind a reverse proxy.
+
+In this case, you would need to configure the proxy server (nginx, apache, etc) to accept connections from your application server (Unicorn). By default Unicorn will listen for TCP connections on port 8080, but you can change the port or configure it to use sockets instead.
+
+You can find more information in the [Unicorn readme](http://unicorn.bogomips.org/README.html) and understand the [philosophy](http://unicorn.bogomips.org/PHILOSOPHY.html) behind it.
+
+Once you've configured the application server, you must proxy requests to it by configuring your web server appropriately. For example your nginx config may include:
+
+```
+upstream application_server {
+  server 0.0.0.0:8080
+}
+
+server {
+  listen 80;
+  server_name localhost;
+
+  root /root/path/to/your_app/public;
+
+  try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html @app;
+
+  location @app {
+    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
+    proxy_redirect off;
+    proxy_pass http://application_server;
+  }
+
+  # some other configuration
+}

-Setting Up a Development Environment
-------------------------------------
-
-To move on from submitting bugs to helping resolve existing issues or contributing your own code to Ruby on Rails, you _must_ be able to run its test suite. In this section of the guide you'll learn how to set up the tests on your own computer.
-
-### The Easy Way
-
-The easiest and recommended way to get a development environment ready to hack is to use the [Rails development box](https://github.com/rails/rails-dev-box).
-
-### The Hard Way
-
-In case you can't use the Rails development box, see section above, check [this other guide](development_dependencies_install.html).
-
-
-Running an Application Against Your Local Branch
-------------------------------------------------
-
-The `--dev` flag of `rails new` generates an application that uses your local
-branch:
-
-```bash
-$ cd rails
-$ bundle exec rails new ~/my-test-app --dev
-```
-
-The application generated in `~/my-test-app` runs against your local branch
-and in particular sees any modifications upon server reboot.
-
-
-Testing Active Record
----------------------
-
-This is how you run the Active Record test suite only for SQLite3:
-
-```bash
-$ cd activerecord
-$ bundle exec rake test_sqlite3
-```
-
-You can now run the tests as you did for `sqlite3`. The tasks are respectively
-
-```bash
-test_mysql
-test_mysql2
-test_postgresql
-```
-
-Finally,
-
-```bash
-$ bundle exec rake test
-```
-
-will now run the four of them in turn.
-
-You can also run any single test separately:
-
-```bash
-$ ARCONN=sqlite3 ruby -Itest test/cases/associations/has_many_associations_test.rb
-```
-
-You can invoke `test_jdbcmysql`, `test_jdbcsqlite3` or `test_jdbcpostgresql` also. See the file `activerecord/RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS.rdoc` for information on running more targeted database tests, or the file `ci/travis.rb` for the test suite run by the continuous integration server.
-
-### Warnings
-
-The test suite runs with warnings enabled. Ideally, Ruby on Rails should issue no warnings, but there may be a few, as well as some from third-party libraries. Please ignore (or fix!) them, if any, and submit patches that do not issue new warnings.
-
-As of this writing (December, 2010) they are especially noisy with Ruby 1.9. If you are sure about what you are doing and would like to have a more clear output, there's a way to override the flag:
-
-```bash
-$ RUBYOPT=-W0 bundle exec rake test
-```
-
-### Older Versions of Ruby on Rails
-
-If you want to add a fix to older versions of Ruby on Rails, you'll need to set up and switch to your own local tracking branch. Here is an example to switch to the 3-0-stable branch:
-
-```bash
-$ git branch --track 3-0-stable origin/3-0-stable
-$ git checkout 3-0-stable
-```
-
-TIP: You may want to [put your Git branch name in your shell prompt](http://qugstart.com/blog/git-and-svn/add-colored-git-branch-name-to-your-shell-prompt/) to make it easier to remember which version of the code you're working with.

+You can run a single test through ruby. For instance:
+
+```bash
+$ cd actionmailer
+$ ruby -w -Itest test/mail_layout_test.rb -n test_explicit_class_layout

-### Backporting
+### Older Versions of Ruby on Rails
+
+If you want to add a fix to older versions of Ruby on Rails, you'll need to set up and switch to your own local tracking branch. Here is an example to switch to the 4-0-stable branch:
+
+```bash
+$ git branch --track 4-0-stable origin/4-0-stable
+$ git checkout 4-0-stable

+
+TIP: You may want to [put your Git branch name in your shell prompt](http://qugstart.com/blog/git-and-svn/add-colored-git-branch-name-to-your-shell-prompt/) to make it easier to remember which version of the code you're working with.
+
+#### Backporting
 
 Changes that are merged into master are intended for the next major release of Rails. Sometimes, it might be beneficial for your changes to propagate back to the maintenance releases for older stable branches. Generally, security fixes and bug fixes are good candidates for a backport, while new features and patches that introduce a change in behavior will not be accepted. When in doubt, it is best to consult a Rails team member before backporting your changes to avoid wasted effort.

-The debugger creates a context when a stopping point or an event is reached.

 ### Inspecting Variables
 
-Any expression can be evaluated in the current context. To evaluate an expression, just type it!
-
-This example shows how you can print the instance_variables defined within the current context:
-
-```
-@posts = Post.all
-(rdb:11) instance_variables
-["@_response", "@action_name", "@url", "@_session", "@_cookies", "@performed_render", "@_flash", "@template", "@_params", "@before_filter_chain_aborted", "@request_origin", "@_headers", "@performed_redirect", "@_request"]
-```
-
-As you may have figured out, all of the variables that you can access from a controller are displayed. This list is dynamically updated as you execute code. For example, run the next line using `next` (you'll learn more about this command later in this guide).

 ### Resuming Execution
 
-There are two ways to resume execution of an application that is stopped in the debugger:
-
-* `continue` [line-specification] \(or `c`): resume program execution, at the address where your script last stopped; any breakpoints set at that address are bypassed. The optional argument line-specification allows you to specify a line number to set a one-time breakpoint which is deleted when that breakpoint is reached.
-* `finish` [frame-number] \(or `fin`): execute until the selected stack frame returns. If no frame number is given, the application will run until the currently selected frame returns. The currently selected frame starts out the most-recent frame or 0 if no frame positioning (e.g up, down or frame) has been performed. If a frame number is given it will run until the specified frame returns.

 ### Editing
 
 Two commands allow you to open code from the debugger into an editor:
 
-* `edit [file:line]`: edit _file_ using the editor specified by the EDITOR environment variable. A specific _line_ can also be given.
-* `tmate _n_` (abbreviated `tm`): open the current file in TextMate. It uses n-th frame if _n_ is specified.
+* `edit [file:line]`: edit _file_ using the editor specified by the EDITOR
+environment variable. A specific _line_ can also be given.
 
 ### Quitting
 
-To exit the debugger, use the `quit` command (abbreviated `q`), or its alias `exit`.

 ### Settings
 
-The `debugger` gem can automatically show the code you're stepping through and reload it when you change it in an editor. Here are a few of the available options:
-
-* `set reload`: Reload source code when changed.
-* `set autolist`: Execute `list` command on every breakpoint.
-* `set listsize _n_`: Set number of source lines to list by default to _n_.
-* `set forcestep`: Make sure the `next` and `step` commands always move to a new line

 What are engines?
 -----------------
 
-Engines can be considered miniature applications that provide functionality to their host applications. A Rails application is actually just a "supercharged" engine, with the `Rails::Application` class inheriting a lot of its behavior from `Rails::Engine`.
-
-Therefore, engines and applications can be thought of almost the same thing, just with subtle differences, as you'll see throughout this guide. Engines and applications also share a common structure.
-
-Engines are also closely related to plugins where the two share a common `lib` directory structure and are both generated using the `rails plugin new` generator. The difference being that an engine is considered a "full plugin" by Rails as indicated by the `--full` option that's passed to the generator command, but this guide will refer to them simply as "engines" throughout. An engine **can** be a plugin, and a plugin **can** be an engine.
-
-The engine that will be created in this guide will be called "blorgh". The engine will provide blogging functionality to its host applications, allowing for new posts and comments to be created. At the beginning of this guide, you will be working solely within the engine itself, but in later sections you'll see how to hook it into an application.
-
-Engines can also be isolated from their host applications. This means that an application is able to have a path provided by a routing helper such as `posts_path` and use an engine also that provides a path also called `posts_path`, and the two would not clash. Along with this, controllers, models and table names are also namespaced. You'll see how to do this later in this guide.
-
-It's important to keep in mind at all times that the application should **always** take precedence over its engines. An application is the object that has final say in what goes on in the universe (with the universe being the application's environment) where the engine should only be enhancing it, rather than changing it drastically.
-
-To see demonstrations of other engines, check out [Devise](https://github.com/plataformatec/devise), an engine that provides authentication for its parent applications, or [Forem](https://github.com/radar/forem), an engine that provides forum functionality.

-
-The `isolate_namespace` method here deserves special notice. This call is responsible for isolating the controllers, models, routes and other things into their own namespace, away from similar components inside the application. Without this, there is a possibility that the engine's components could "leak" into the application, causing unwanted disruption, or that important engine components could be overridden by similarly named things within the application. One of the examples of such conflicts are helpers. Without calling `isolate_namespace`, engine's helpers would be included in an application's controllers.
-
-NOTE: It is **highly** recommended that the `isolate_namespace` line be left within the `Engine` class definition. Without it, classes generated in an engine **may** conflict with an application.
-
-What this isolation of the namespace means is that a model generated by a call to `rails g model` such as `rails g model post` won't be called `Post`, but instead be namespaced and called `Blorgh::Post`. In addition, the table for the model is namespaced, becoming `blorgh_posts`, rather than simply `posts`. Similar to the model namespacing, a controller called `PostsController` becomes `Blorgh::PostsController` and the views for that controller will not be at `app/views/posts`, but `app/views/blorgh/posts` instead. Mailers are namespaced as well.
-
-Finally, routes will also be isolated within the engine. This is one of the most important parts about namespacing, and is discussed later in the [Routes](#routes) section of this guide.
-
-#### `app` directory
-
-Inside the `app` directory are the standard `assets`, `controllers`, `helpers`, `mailers`, `models` and `views` directories that you should be familiar with from an application. The `helpers`, `mailers` and `models` directories are empty and so aren't described in this section. We'll look more into models in a future section, when we're writing the engine.
-
-Within the `app/assets` directory, there are the `images`, `javascripts` and `stylesheets` directories which, again, you should be familiar with due to their similarity to an application. One difference here however is that each directory contains a sub-directory with the engine name. Because this engine is going to be namespaced, its assets should be too.
-
-Within the `app/controllers` directory there is a `blorgh` directory and inside that a file called `application_controller.rb`. This file will provide any common functionality for the controllers of the engine. The `blorgh` directory is where the other controllers for the engine will go. By placing them within this namespaced directory, you prevent them from possibly clashing with identically-named controllers within other engines or even within the application.
-
-NOTE: The `ApplicationController` class inside an engine is named just like a Rails application in order to make it easier for you to convert your applications into engines.
-
-Lastly, the `app/views` directory contains a `layouts` folder which contains a file at `blorgh/application.html.erb` which allows you to specify a layout for the engine. If this engine is to be used as a stand-alone engine, then you would add any customization to its layout in this file, rather than the application's `app/views/layouts/application.html.erb` file.
-
-If you don't want to force a layout on to users of the engine, then you can delete this file and reference a different layout in the controllers of your engine.
-
-#### `bin` directory
-
-This directory contains one file, `bin/rails`, which enables you to use the `rails` sub-commands and generators just like you would within an application. This means that you will very easily be able to generate new controllers and models for this engine by running commands like this:
+By inheriting from the `Rails::Engine` class, this gem notifies Rails that

+instead be namespaced and called `Blorgh::Article`. In addition, the table for the
+model is namespaced, becoming `blorgh_articles`, rather than simply `articles`.
+Similar to the model namespacing, a controller called `ArticlesController` becomes
+`Blorgh::ArticlesController` and the views for that controller will not be at
+`app/views/articles`, but `app/views/blorgh/articles` instead. Mailers are namespaced
+as well.
+
+Finally, routes will also be isolated within the engine. This is one of the most
+important parts about namespacing, and is discussed later in the
+[Routes](#routes) section of this guide.
+
+#### `app` Directory
+
+Inside the `app` directory are the standard `assets`, `controllers`, `helpers`,
+`mailers`, `models` and `views` directories that you should be familiar with
+from an application. The `helpers`, `mailers` and `models` directories are
+empty, so they aren't described in this section. We'll look more into models in
+a future section, when we're writing the engine.
+
+Within the `app/assets` directory, there are the `images`, `javascripts` and
+`stylesheets` directories which, again, you should be familiar with due to their
+similarity to an application. One difference here, however, is that each
+directory contains a sub-directory with the engine name. Because this engine is
+going to be namespaced, its assets should be too.
+
+Within the `app/controllers` directory there is a `blorgh` directory that
+contains a file called `application_controller.rb`. This file will provide any
+common functionality for the controllers of the engine. The `blorgh` directory
+is where the other controllers for the engine will go. By placing them within
+this namespaced directory, you prevent them from possibly clashing with
+identically-named controllers within other engines or even within the
+application.
+
+NOTE: The `ApplicationController` class inside an engine is named just like a
+Rails application in order to make it easier for you to convert your
+applications into engines.
+
+Lastly, the `app/views` directory contains a `layouts` folder, which contains a
+file at `blorgh/application.html.erb`. This file allows you to specify a layout
+for the engine. If this engine is to be used as a stand-alone engine, then you
+would add any customization to its layout in this file, rather than the
+application's `app/views/layouts/application.html.erb` file.
+
+If you don't want to force a layout on to users of the engine, then you can
+delete this file and reference a different layout in the controllers of your
+engine.
+
+#### `bin` Directory
+
+This directory contains one file, `bin/rails`, which enables you to use the
+`rails` sub-commands and generators just like you would within an application.
+This means that you will be able to generate new controllers and models for this
+engine very easily by running commands like this:
 
 ```bash
-rails g model
+$ bin/rails g model
 ```
 
-Keeping in mind, of course, that anything generated with these commands inside an engine that has `isolate_namespace` inside the `Engine` class will be namespaced.

-The `test` directory is where tests for the engine will go. To test the engine, there is a cut-down version of a Rails application embedded within it at `test/dummy`. This application will mount the engine in the `test/dummy/config/routes.rb` file:

-The first thing that the scaffold generator does is invoke the `active_record` generator, which generates a migration and a model for the resource. Note here, however, that the migration is called `create_blorgh_posts` rather than the usual `create_posts`. This is due to the `isolate_namespace` method called in the `Blorgh::Engine` class's definition. The model here is also namespaced, being placed at `app/models/blorgh/post.rb` rather than `app/models/post.rb` due to the `isolate_namespace` call within the `Engine` class.

-Next, the `test_unit` generator is invoked for this model, generating a model test at `test/models/blorgh/post_test.rb` (rather than `test/models/post_test.rb`) and a fixture at `test/fixtures/blorgh/posts.yml` (rather than `test/fixtures/posts.yml`).

-  resources :posts

 ```
 
-Note here that the routes are drawn upon the `Blorgh::Engine` object rather than the `YourApp::Application` class. This is so that the engine routes are confined to the engine itself and can be mounted at a specific point as shown in the [test directory](#test-directory) section. It also causes the engine's routes to be isolated from those routes that are within the application. The [Routes](#routes) section of
-this guide describes it in details.

-Next, the `scaffold_controller` generator is invoked, generating a controller called `Blorgh::PostsController` (at `app/controllers/blorgh/posts_controller.rb`) and its related views at `app/views/blorgh/posts`. This generator also generates a test for the controller (`test/controllers/blorgh/posts_controller_test.rb`) and a helper (`app/helpers/blorgh/posts_controller.rb`).

 When called without arguments like this, it creates a `<form>` tag which, when submitted, will POST to the current page. For instance, assuming the current page is `/home/index`, the generated HTML will look like this (some line breaks added for readability):
 
 ```html
-<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/home/index" method="post">

-Now, you'll notice that the HTML contains something extra: a `div` element with two hidden input elements inside. This div is important, because the form cannot be successfully submitted without it. The first input element with name `utf8` enforces browsers to properly respect your form's character encoding and is generated for all forms whether their actions are "GET" or "POST". The second input element with name `authenticity_token` is a security feature of Rails called **cross-site request forgery protection**, and form helpers generate it for every non-GET form (provided that this security feature is enabled). You can read more about this in the [Security Guide](./security.html#cross-site-request-forgery-csrf).

 The Rails framework encourages RESTful design of your applications, which means you'll be making a lot of "PATCH" and "DELETE" requests (besides "GET" and "POST"). However, most browsers _don't support_ methods other than "GET" and "POST" when it comes to submitting forms.

 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.
 
 To invoke our new generator, we just need to do:

 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.

 ### The first form

 builder</em>. The primary form builder for Rails is provided by a helper

+If you refresh the page now, you'll see the exact same form as in the example.
+Building forms in Rails is really just that easy!
 
 When you call `form_for`, you pass it an identifying object for this
-form. In this case, it's the symbol `:post`. This tells the `form_for`
+form. In this case, it's the symbol `:article`. This tells the `form_for`
 helper what this form is for. Inside the block for this method, the
-`FormBuilder` object — represented by `f` — is used to build two labels and two text fields, one each for the title and text of a post. Finally, a call to `submit` on the `f` object will create a submit button for the form.

-There's one problem with this form though. If you inspect the HTML that is generated, by viewing the source of the page, you will see that the `action` attribute for the form is pointing at `/posts/new`. This is a problem because this route goes to the very page that you're on right at the moment, and that route should only be used to display the form for a new post.

 The form needs to use a different URL in order to go somewhere else.
 This can be done quite simply with the `:url` option of `form_for`.
 Typically in Rails, the action that is used for new form submissions
 like this is called "create", and so the form should be pointed to that action.

+Rails has several security features that help you write secure applications,
+and you're running into one of them now. This one is called `[strong_parameters]
+(http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_controller_overview.html#strong-parameters)`,
+which requires us to tell Rails exactly which parameters are allowed into our
+controller actions.
+
+Why do you have to bother? The ability to grab and automatically assign all
+controller parameters to your model in one shot makes the programmer's job
+easier, but this convenience also allows malicious use. What if a request to
+the server was crafted to look like a new article form submit but also included
+extra fields with values that violated your applications integrity? They would
+be 'mass assigned' into your model and then into the database along with the
+good stuff - potentially breaking your application or worse.
+
+We have to whitelist our controller parameters to prevent wrongful mass
+assignment. In this case, we want to both allow and require the `title` and
+`text` parameters for valid use of `create`. The syntax for this introduces
+`require` and `permit`. The change will involve one line in the `create` action:
+
+```ruby
+  @article = Article.new(params.require(:article).permit(:title, :text))
+```
 
-As we have seen in the output of `rake routes`, the route for `show` action is as follows:
+This is often factored out into its own method so it can be reused by multiple
+actions in the same controller, for example `create` and `update`. Above and
+beyond mass assignment issues, the method is often made `private` to make sure
+it can't be called outside its intended context. Here is the result:
 
 ```ruby
-post GET    /posts/:id(.:format)      posts#show
+def create
+  @article = Article.new(article_params)
+
+  @article.save

-```ruby
-{
-  pt: {

-```
-
-The equivalent YAML file would look like this:
-
-```ruby
-pt:
-  foo:
-    bar: baz
-```
-
-As you see, in both cases the top level key is the locale. `:foo` is a namespace key and `:bar` is the key for the translation "baz".
-
-Here is a "real" example from the Active Support `en.yml` translations YAML file:
-
-```ruby
-en:
-  date:
-    formats:
-      default: "%Y-%m-%d"
-      short: "%b %d"
-      long: "%B %d, %Y"
-```
-
-So, all of the following equivalent lookups will return the `:short` date format `"%b %d"`:
-
-```ruby
-I18n.t 'date.formats.short'
-I18n.t 'formats.short', scope: :date
-I18n.t :short, scope: 'date.formats'
-I18n.t :short, scope: [:date, :formats]

-
-Generally we recommend using YAML as a format for storing translations. There are cases, though, where you want to store Ruby lambdas as part of your locale data, e.g. for special date formats.

+`railties/bin/rails`. A part of the file `railties/bin/rails.rb` has the
+following code:

+
+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:

+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.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Rails follows a shifted version of [semver](http://semver.org/):
+
+**Patch `Z`**
+
+Only bug fixes, no API changes, no new features.
+Except as necessary for security fixes or deprecations.
+
+**Minor `Y`**
+
+New features, may contain API changes (Serve as major versions of Semver).
+Breaking changes are paired with deprecation notices in patch level release of
+the last minor version level.
+
+**Major `X`**
+
+New features, will likely contain API changes. The difference between Rails'
+minor and major releases is the magnitude of breaking changes, and usually
+reserved for special occasions.
+
+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:** `4.1.Z`, `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:** `4.1.Z`, `4.0.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:** `4.1.Z`, `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.

-Using Models in Your Migrations
--------------------------------
-
-When creating or updating data in a migration it is often tempting to use one
-of your models. After all, they exist to provide easy access to the underlying
-data. This can be done, but some caution should be observed.
-
-For example, problems occur when the model uses database columns which are (1)
-not currently in the database and (2) will be created by this or a subsequent
-migration.
-
-Consider this example, where Alice and Bob are working on the same code base
-which contains a `Product` model:
-
-Bob goes on vacation.
-
-Alice creates a migration for the `products` table which adds a new column and
-initializes it:
-
-```ruby
-# db/migrate/20100513121110_add_flag_to_product.rb
-
-class AddFlagToProduct < ActiveRecord::Migration
-  def change
-    add_column :products, :flag, :boolean
-    reversible do |dir|
-      dir.up { Product.update_all flag: false }
-    end
-  end
-end
-```
-
-She also adds a validation to the `Product` model for the new column:
-
-```ruby
-# app/models/product.rb
-
-class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
-  validates :flag, inclusion: { in: [true, false] }
-end
-```
-
-Alice adds a second migration which adds another column to the `products`
-table and initializes it:
-
-```ruby
-# db/migrate/20100515121110_add_fuzz_to_product.rb
-
-class AddFuzzToProduct < ActiveRecord::Migration
-  def change
-    add_column :products, :fuzz, :string
-    reversible do |dir|
-      dir.up { Product.update_all fuzz: 'fuzzy' }
-    end
-  end
-end
-```
-
-She also adds a validation to the `Product` model for the new column:
-
-```ruby
-# app/models/product.rb
-
-class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
-  validates :flag, inclusion: { in: [true, false] }
-  validates :fuzz, presence: true
-end
-```
-
-Both migrations work for Alice.
-
-Bob comes back from vacation and:
-
-*   Updates the source - which contains both migrations and the latest version
-    of the Product model.
-*   Runs outstanding migrations with `rake db:migrate`, which
-    includes the one that updates the `Product` model.
-
-The migration crashes because when the model attempts to save, it tries to
-validate the second added column, which is not in the database when the _first_
-migration runs:
-
-```
-rake aborted!
-An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:
-
-undefined method `fuzz' for #<Product:0x000001049b14a0>

-Rails from running the validations, so that the migrations run to completion.
-
-When using a local model, it's a good idea to call
-`Product.reset_column_information` to refresh the Active Record cache for the
-`Product` model prior to updating data in the database.
-
-If Alice had done this instead, there would have been no problem:
-
-```ruby
-# db/migrate/20100513121110_add_flag_to_product.rb
-
-class AddFlagToProduct < ActiveRecord::Migration
-  class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
-  end
-
-  def change
-    add_column :products, :flag, :boolean
-    Product.reset_column_information
-    reversible do |dir|
-      dir.up { Product.update_all flag: false }
-    end
-  end
-end
-```
-
-```ruby
-# db/migrate/20100515121110_add_fuzz_to_product.rb
-
-class AddFuzzToProduct < ActiveRecord::Migration
-  class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
-  end
-
-  def change
-    add_column :products, :fuzz, :string
-    Product.reset_column_information
-    reversible do |dir|
-      dir.up { Product.update_all fuzz: 'fuzzy' }
-    end
-  end
-end
-```
-
-There are other ways in which the above example could have gone badly.
-
-For example, imagine that Alice creates a migration that selectively
-updates the `description` field on certain products. She runs the
-migration, commits the code, and then begins working on the next feature,
-which is to add a new column `fuzz` to the products table.
-
-She creates two migrations for this new feature, one which adds the new
-column, and a second which selectively updates the `fuzz` column based on
-other product attributes.
-
-These migrations run just fine, but when Bob comes back from his vacation
-and calls `rake db:migrate` to run all the outstanding migrations, he gets a
-subtle bug: The descriptions have defaults, and the `fuzz` column is present,
-but `fuzz` is `nil` on all products.
-
-The solution is again to use `Product.reset_column_information` before
-referencing the Product model in a migration, ensuring the Active Record's
-knowledge of the table structure is current before manipulating data in those
-records.

 ![Session fixation](images/session_fixation.png)
 
 This attack focuses on fixing a user's session id known to the attacker, and forcing the user's browser into using this id. It is therefore not necessary for the attacker to steal the session id afterwards. Here is how this attack works:
 
-* The attacker creates a valid session id: He loads the login page of the web application where he wants to fix the session, and takes the session id in the cookie from the response (see number 1 and 2 in the image).
-* He possibly maintains the session. Expiring sessions, for example every 20 minutes, greatly reduces the time-frame for attack. Therefore he accesses the web application from time to time in order to keep the session alive.
-* Now the attacker will force the user's browser into using this session id (see number 3 in the image). As you may not change a cookie of another domain (because of the same origin policy), the attacker has to run a JavaScript from the domain of the target web application. Injecting the JavaScript code into the application by XSS accomplishes this attack. Here is an example: `<script>document.cookie="_session_id=16d5b78abb28e3d6206b60f22a03c8d9";</script>`.

+  user.reset_password!

+
+When `params[:token]` is one of: `[]`, `[nil]`, `[nil, nil, ...]` or
+`['foo', nil]` it will bypass the test for `nil`, but `IS NULL` or
+`IN ('foo', NULL)` where clauses still will be added to the SQL query.
+

+`nil`. Below table shows what the parameters look like based on `JSON` sent in

+In order to run your tests, your test database will need to have the current structure. The test helper checks whether your test database has any pending migrations. If so, it will try to load your `db/schema.rb` or `db/structure.sql` into the test database. If migrations are still pending, an error will be raised.
 
 ### Running Tests
 
 Running a test is as simple as invoking the file containing the test cases through `rake test` command.

+Testing helpers
+---------------
+
+In order to test helpers, all you need to do is check that the output of the
+helper method matches what you'd expect. Tests related to the helpers are
+located under the `test/helpers` directory. Rails provides a generator which
+generates both the helper and the test file:
+
+```bash
+$ bin/rails generate helper User
+      create  app/helpers/user_helper.rb
+      invoke  test_unit
+      create    test/helpers/user_helper_test.rb
+```
+
+The generated test file contains the following code:
+
+```ruby
+require 'test_helper'
+
+class UserHelperTest < ActionView::TestCase
+end
+```
+
+A helper is just a simple module where you can define methods which are
+available into your views. To test the output of the helper's methods, you just
+have to use a mixin like this:
+
+```ruby
+class UserHelperTest < ActionView::TestCase
+  include UserHelper
+
+  test "should return the user name" do
+    # ...
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Moreover, since the test class extends from `ActionView::TestCase`, you have
+access to Rails' helper methods such as `link_to` or `pluralize`.

+Upgrading from Rails 4.0 to Rails 4.1
+-------------------------------------
+
+### CSRF protection from remote `<script>` tags
+
+Or, "whaaat my tests are failing!!!?"
+
+Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection now covers GET requests with
+JavaScript responses, too. That prevents a third-party site from referencing
+your JavaScript URL and attempting to run it to extract sensitive data.
+
+This means that your functional and integration tests that use
+
+```ruby
+get :index, format: :js
+```
+
+will now trigger CSRF protection. Switch to
+
+```ruby
+xhr :get, :index, format: :js
+```
+
+to explicitly test an XmlHttpRequest.
+
+If you really mean to load JavaScript from remote `<script>` tags, skip CSRF
+protection on that action.
+
+### Spring
+
+If you want to use Spring as your application preloader you need to:
+
+1. Add `gem 'spring', group: :development` to your `Gemfile`.
+2. Install spring using `bundle install`.
+3. Springify your binstubs with `bundle exec spring binstub --all`.
+
+NOTE: User defined rake tasks will run in the `development` environment by
+default. If you want them to run in other environments consult the
+[Spring README](https://github.com/rails/spring#rake).
+
+### `config/secrets.yml`
+
+If you want to use the new `secrets.yml` convention to store your application's
+secrets, you need to:
+
+1. Create a `secrets.yml` file in your `config` folder with the following content:
+
+    ```yaml
+    development:
+      secret_key_base:
+
+    test:
+      secret_key_base:
+
+    production:
+      secret_key_base: <%= ENV["SECRET_KEY_BASE"] %>
+    ```
+
+2. Use your existing `secret_key_base` from the `secret_token.rb` initializer to
+   set the SECRET_KEY_BASE environment variable for whichever users run the Rails
+   app in production mode. Alternately, you can simply copy the existing
+   `secret_key_base` from the `secret_token.rb` initializer to `secrets.yml`
+   under the `production` section, replacing '<%= ENV["SECRET_KEY_BASE"] %>'.
+
+3. Remove the `secret_token.rb` initializer.
+
+4. Use `rake secret` to generate new keys for the `development` and `test` sections.
+
+5. Restart your server.
+
+### Changes to test helper
+
+If your test helper contains a call to
+`ActiveRecord::Migration.check_pending!` this can be removed. The check
+is now done automatically when you `require 'test_help'`, although
+leaving this line in your helper is not harmful in any way.
+
+### Cookies serializer
+
+Applications created before Rails 4.1 uses `Marshal` to serialize cookie values into
+the signed and encrypted cookie jars. If you want to use the new `JSON`-based format
+in your application, you can add an initializer file with the following content:
+
+```ruby
+Rails.application.config.action_dispatch.cookies_serializer = :hybrid
+```
+
+This would transparently migrate your existing `Marshal`-serialized cookies into the
+new `JSON`-based format.
+
+When using the `:json` or `:hybrid` serializer, you should beware that not all
+Ruby objects can be serialized as JSON. For example, `Date` and `Time` objects
+will be serialized as strings, and `Hash`es will have their keys stringified.
+
+```ruby
+class CookiesController < ApplicationController
+  def set_cookie
+    cookies.encrypted[:expiration_date] = Date.tomorrow # => Thu, 20 Mar 2014
+    redirect_to action: 'read_cookie'
+  end
+
+  def read_cookie
+    cookies.encrypted[:expiration_date] # => "2014-03-20"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+It's advisable that you only store simple data (strings and numbers) in cookies.
+If you have to store complex objects, you would need to handle the conversion
+manually when reading the values on subsequent requests.
+
+If you use the cookie session store, this would apply to the `session` and
+`flash` hash as well.
+
+### Flash structure changes
+
+Flash message keys are
+[normalized to strings](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/a668beffd64106a1e1fedb71cc25eaaa11baf0c1). They
+can still be accessed using either symbols or strings. Lopping through the flash
+will always yield string keys:
+
+```ruby
+flash["string"] = "a string"
+flash[:symbol] = "a symbol"
+
+# Rails < 4.1
+flash.keys # => ["string", :symbol]
+
+# Rails >= 4.1
+flash.keys # => ["string", "symbol"]
+```
+
+Make sure you are comparing Flash message keys against strings.
+
+### Changes in JSON handling
+
+There are a few major changes related to JSON handling in Rails 4.1.
+
+#### MultiJSON removal
+
+MultiJSON has reached its [end-of-life](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/10576)
+and has been removed from Rails.
+
+If your application currently depend on MultiJSON directly, you have a few options:
+
+1. Add 'multi_json' to your Gemfile. Note that this might cease to work in the future
+
+2. Migrate away from MultiJSON by using `obj.to_json`, and `JSON.parse(str)` instead.
+
+WARNING: Do not simply replace `MultiJson.dump` and `MultiJson.load` with
+`JSON.dump` and `JSON.load`. These JSON gem APIs are meant for serializing and
+deserializing arbitrary Ruby objects and are generally [unsafe](http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/json/rdoc/JSON.html#method-i-load).
+
+#### JSON gem compatibility
+
+Historically, Rails had some compatibility issues with the JSON gem. Using
+`JSON.generate` and `JSON.dump` inside a Rails application could produce
+unexpected errors.
+
+Rails 4.1 fixed these issues by isolating its own encoder from the JSON gem. The
+JSON gem APIs will function as normal, but they will not have access to any
+Rails-specific features. For example:
+
+```ruby
+class FooBar
+  def as_json(options = nil)
+    { foo: 'bar' }
+  end
+end
+
+>> FooBar.new.to_json # => "{\"foo\":\"bar\"}"
+>> JSON.generate(FooBar.new, quirks_mode: true) # => "\"#<FooBar:0x007fa80a481610>\""
+```
+
+#### New JSON encoder
+
+The JSON encoder in Rails 4.1 has been rewritten to take advantage of the JSON
+gem. For most applications, this should be a transparent change. However, as
+part of the rewrite, the following features have been removed from the encoder:
+
+1. Circular data structure detection
+2. Support for the `encode_json` hook
+3. Option to encode `BigDecimal` objects as numbers instead of strings
+
+If your application depends on one of these features, you can get them back by
+adding the [`activesupport-json_encoder`](https://github.com/rails/activesupport-json_encoder)
+gem to your Gemfile.
+
+### Usage of `return` within inline callback blocks
+
+Previously, Rails allowed inline callback blocks to use `return` this way:
+
+```ruby
+class ReadOnlyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
+  before_save { return false } # BAD
+end
+```
+
+This behaviour was never intentionally supported. Due to a change in the internals
+of `ActiveSupport::Callbacks`, this is no longer allowed in Rails 4.1. Using a
+`return` statement in an inline callback block causes a `LocalJumpError` to
+be raised when the callback is executed.
+
+Inline callback blocks using `return` can be refactored to evaluate to the
+returned value:
+
+```ruby
+class ReadOnlyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
+  before_save { false } # GOOD
+end
+```
+
+Alternatively, if `return` is preferred it is recommended to explicitly define
+a method:
+
+```ruby
+class ReadOnlyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
+  before_save :before_save_callback # GOOD
+
+  private
+    def before_save_callback
+      return false
+    end
+end
+```
+
+This change applies to most places in Rails where callbacks are used, including
+Active Record and Active Model callbacks, as well as filters in Action
+Controller (e.g. `before_action`).
+
+See [this pull request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/13271) for more
+details.
+
+### Methods defined in Active Record fixtures
+
+Rails 4.1 evaluates each fixture's ERB in a separate context, so helper methods
+defined in a fixture will not be available in other fixtures.
+
+Helper methods that are used in multiple fixtures should be defined on modules
+included in the newly introduced `ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.context_class`, in
+`test_helper.rb`.
+
+```ruby
+class FixtureFileHelpers
+  def file_sha(path)
+    Digest::SHA2.hexdigest(File.read(Rails.root.join('test/fixtures', path)))
+  end
+end
+ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.context_class.send :include, FixtureFileHelpers
+```
+
+### I18n enforcing available locales
+
+Rails 4.1 now defaults the I18n option `enforce_available_locales` to `true`,
+meaning that it will make sure that all locales passed to it must be declared in
+the `available_locales` list.
+
+To disable it (and allow I18n to accept *any* locale option) add the following
+configuration to your application:
+
+```ruby
+config.i18n.enforce_available_locales = false
+```
+
+Note that this option was added as a security measure, to ensure user input could
+not be used as locale information unless previously known, so it's recommended not
+to disable this option unless you have a strong reason for doing so.
+
+### Mutator methods called on Relation
+
+`Relation` no longer has mutator methods like `#map!` and `#delete_if`. Convert
+to an `Array` by calling `#to_a` before using these methods.
+
+It intends to prevent odd bugs and confusion in code that call mutator
+methods directly on the `Relation`.
+
+```ruby
+# Instead of this
+Author.where(name: 'Hank Moody').compact!
+
+# Now you have to do this
+authors = Author.where(name: 'Hank Moody').to_a
+authors.compact!
+```
+
+### Changes on Default Scopes
+
+Default scopes are no longer overriden by chained conditions.
+
+In previous versions when you defined a `default_scope` in a model
+it was overriden by chained conditions in the same field. Now it
+is merged like any other scope.
+
+Before:
+
+```ruby
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+  default_scope { where state: 'pending' }
+  scope :active, -> { where state: 'active' }
+  scope :inactive, -> { where state: 'inactive' }
+end
+
+User.all
+# SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'pending'
+
+User.active
+# SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'active'
+
+User.where(state: 'inactive')
+# SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'inactive'
+```
+
+After:
+
+```ruby
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+  default_scope { where state: 'pending' }
+  scope :active, -> { where state: 'active' }
+  scope :inactive, -> { where state: 'inactive' }
+end
+
+User.all
+# SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'pending'
+
+User.active
+# SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'pending' AND "users"."state" = 'active'
+
+User.where(state: 'inactive')
+# SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'pending' AND "users"."state" = 'inactive'
+```
+
+To get the previous behavior it is needed to explicitly remove the
+`default_scope` condition using `unscoped`, `unscope`, `rewhere` or
+`except`.
+
+```ruby
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+  default_scope { where state: 'pending' }
+  scope :active, -> { unscope(where: :state).where(state: 'active') }
+  scope :inactive, -> { rewhere state: 'inactive' }
+end
+
+User.all
+# SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'pending'
+
+User.active
+# SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'active'
+
+User.inactive
+# SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'inactive'
+```
+
+### Rendering content from string
+
+Rails 4.1 introduces `:plain`, `:html`, and `:body` options to `render`. Those
+options are now the preferred way to render string-based content, as it allows
+you to specify which content type you want the response sent as.
+
+* `render :plain` will set the content type to `text/plain`
+* `render :html` will set the content type to `text/html`
+* `render :body` will *not* set the content type header.
+
+From the security standpoint, if you don't expect to have any markup in your
+response body, you should be using `render :plain` as most browsers will escape
+unsafe content in the response for you.
+
+We will be deprecating the use of `render :text` in a future version. So please
+start using the more precise `:plain:`, `:html`, and `:body` options instead.
+Using `render :text` may pose a security risk, as the content is sent as
+`text/html`.
+
+### PostgreSQL json and hstore datatypes
+
+Rails 4.1 will map `json` and `hstore` columns to a string-keyed Ruby `Hash`.
+In earlier versions a `HashWithIndifferentAccess` was used. This means that
+symbol access is no longer supported. This is also the case for
+`store_accessors` based on top of `json` or `hstore` columns. Make sure to use
+string keys consistently.
