You should also first upgrade to Rails 5.1 in case you +haven't and make sure your application still runs as expected before attempting +an update to Rails 5.2. 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-5-1-to-rails-5-2) +guide. + +Major Features +-------------- + +### Active Storage + +[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/30020) + +[Active Storage](https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/5-2-stable/activestorage) +facilitates uploading files to a cloud storage service like +Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Microsoft Azure Storage and attaching +those files to Active Record objects. It comes with a local disk-based service +for development and testing and supports mirroring files to subordinate +services for backups and migrations. +You can read more about Active Storage in the +[Active Storage Overview](active_storage_overview.html) guide. + +### Redis Cache Store + +[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/31134) + +Rails 5.2 ships with built-in Redis cache store. +You can read more about this in the +[Caching with Rails: An Overview](caching_with_rails.html#activesupport-cache-rediscachestore) +guide. + +### HTTP/2 Early Hints + +[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/30744) + +Rails 5.2 supports [HTTP/2 Early Hints](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8297). +To start the server with Early Hints enabled pass `--early-hints` +to `bin/rails server`. + +### Credentials + +[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/30067) + +Added `config/credentials.yml.enc` file to store production app secrets. +It allows saving any authentication credentials for third-party services +directly in repository encrypted with a key in the `config/master.key` file or +the `RAILS_MASTER_KEY` environment variable. +This will eventually replace `Rails.application.secrets` and the encrypted +secrets introduced in Rails 5.1. +Furthermore, Rails 5.2 +[opens API underlying Credentials](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/30940), +so you can easily deal with other encrypted configurations, keys, and files. +You can read more about this in the +[Securing Rails Applications](security.html#custom-credentials) +guide. + +### Content Security Policy + +[Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/31162) + +Rails 5.2 ships with a new DSL that allows you to configure a +[Content Security Policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy) +for your application. You can configure a global default policy and then +override it on a per-resource basis and even use lambdas to inject per-request +values into the header such as account subdomains in a multi-tenant application. +You can read more about this in the +[Securing Rails Applications](security.html#content-security-policy) +guide. + +Railties +-------- + +Please refer to the [Changelog][railties] for
