-h4. Class Inheritable Attributes
-
-WARNING: Class Inheritable Attributes are deprecated. It's recommended that you use +Class#class_attribute+ instead.
-
-Class variables are shared down the inheritance tree. Class instance variables are not shared, but they are not inherited either. The macros +class_inheritable_reader+, +class_inheritable_writer+, and +class_inheritable_accessor+ provide accessors for class-level data which is inherited but not shared with children:
-
-<ruby>
-module ActionController
- class Base
- # FIXME: REVISE/SIMPLIFY THIS COMMENT.
- # The value of allow_forgery_protection is inherited,
- # but its value in a particular class does not affect
- # the value in the rest of the controllers hierarchy.
- class_inheritable_accessor :allow_forgery_protection
- end
-end
-</ruby>
-
-They accomplish this with class instance variables and cloning on subclassing, there are no class variables involved. Cloning is performed with +dup+ as long as the value is duplicable.
-
-There are some variants specialised in arrays and hashes:
-
-<ruby>
-class_inheritable_array
-class_inheritable_hash
-</ruby>
-
-Those writers take any inherited array or hash into account and extend them rather than overwrite them.
-
-As with vanilla class attribute accessors these macros create convenience instance methods for reading and writing. The generation of the writer instance method can be prevented setting +:instance_writer+ to +false+ (not any false value, but exactly +false+):
-
-<ruby>
-module ActiveRecord
- class Base
- class_inheritable_accessor :default_scoping, :instance_writer => false
- end
-end
-</ruby>
-
-Since values are copied when a subclass is defined, if the base class changes the attribute after that, the subclass does not see the new value. That's the point.

+Enables the use of time calculations and declarations, like @45.minutes <plus> 2.hours <plus> 4.years@.
+
+These methods use Time#advance for precise date calculations when using from_now, ago, etc.
+as well as adding or subtracting their results from a Time object. For example:
+
+<ruby>
+# equivalent to Time.current.advance(:months => 1)
+1.month.from_now
+
+# equivalent to Time.current.advance(:years => 2)
+2.years.from_now
+
+# equivalent to Time.current.advance(:months => 4, :years => 5)
+(4.months + 5.years).from_now
+</ruby>
+
+While these methods provide precise calculation when used as in the examples above, care
+should be taken to note that this is not true if the result of `months', `years', etc is
+converted before use:
+
+<ruby>
+# equivalent to 30.days.to_i.from_now
+1.month.to_i.from_now
+
+# equivalent to 365.25.days.to_f.from_now
+1.year.to_f.from_now
+</ruby>
+
+In such cases, Ruby's core
+Date[http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/date/rdoc/Date.html] and

A robust configuration for Apache is possible but tricky; please Google around. (Or help update this Guide if you have a good example configuration for Apache.)
+h4. Local Precompilation
+
+There are several reasons why you might want to precompile your assets locally. Among them are:
+
+* You may not have write access to your production file system.
+* You may be deploying to more than one server, and want to avoid the duplication of work.
+* You may be doing frequent deploys that do not include asset changes.
+
+Local compilation allows you to commit the compiled files into source control, and deploy as normal.
+
+There are two caveats:
+
+* You must not run the Capistrano deployment task that precompiles assets.
+* You must change the following two application configuration settings.
+
+In <tt>config/environments/development.rb</tt>, place the following line:
+
+<erb>
+config.assets.prefix = "/dev-assets"
+</erb>
+
+You will also need this in application.rb:
+
+<erb>
+config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false
+</erb>
+
+The +prefix+ change makes Rails use a different URL for serving assets in development mode, and pass all requests to Sprockets. The prefix is still set to +/assets+ in the production environment. Without this change, the application would serve the precompiled assets from +public/assets+ in development, and you would not see any local changes until you compile assets again.
+
+The +initialize_on_precompile+ change tells the precompile task to run without invoking Rails. This is because the precompile task runs in production mode by default, and will attempt to connect to your specified production database. Please note that you cannot have code in pipeline files that relies on Rails resources (such as the database) when compiling locally with this option.
+
+You will also need to ensure that any compressors or minifiers are available on your development system.
+
+In practice, this will allow you to precompile locally, have those files in your working tree, and commit those files to source control when needed. Development mode will work as expected.
+
h4. Live Compilation
In some circumstances you may wish to use live compilation. In this mode all requests for assets in the pipeline are handled by Sprockets directly.

Query caching is a Rails feature that caches the result set returned by each query so that if Rails encounters the same query again for that request, it will use the cached result set as opposed to running the query against the database again.

+Because Rails controllers generally share code for things like authentication and accessing session variables, by default they inherit from <tt>ApplicationController</tt>. Rails engines, however are scoped to run independently from the main application, so each engine gets a scoped +ApplicationController+. This namespace prevents code collisions, but often engine controllers should access methods in the main application's +ApplicationController+. An easy way to provide this access is to change the engine's scoped +ApplicationController+ to inherit from the main application's +ApplicationController+.
