### Adequate Record
-Rails 4.2 comes with a performance improvement feature called Adequate Record
-for Active Record. A lot of common queries are now up to twice as fast in Rails
-4.2!
+Adequate Record is a set of refactorings that make Active Record `find` and
+`find_by` methods and some association queries upto 2x faster.
+
+It works by caching SQL query patterns while executing the Active Record calls.
+The cache helps skip parts of the computation involved in the transformation of
+the calls into SQL queries. More details in [Aaron Patterson's
+post](http://tenderlovemaking.com/2014/02/19/adequaterecord-pro-like-activerecord.html).
+
+Nothing special has to be done to activate this feature. Most `find` and
+`find_by` calls and association queries will use it automatically. Examples:
+
+```ruby
+Post.find 1 # caches query pattern
+Post.find 2 # uses the cached pattern
+
+Post.find_by_title 'first post' # caches query pattern
+Post.find_by_title 'second post' # uses the cached pattern
+
+post.comments # caches query pattern
+post.comments(true) # uses cached pattern
+```
+
+The caching is not used in the following scenarios:
+
+- The model has a default scope
+- The model uses single table inheritence to inherit from another model
+- `find` with a list of ids. eg:
+
+ ```ruby
+ Post.find(1,2,3)
+ OR
+ Post.find [1,2]
+ ```
-TODO: add some technical details
+- `find_by` with sql fragments:
+
+ ```ruby
+ Post.find_by "published_at < ?", 2.weeks.ago

+
+Due to a [change in Rack](https://github.com/rack/rack/commit/28b014484a8ac0bbb388e7eaeeef159598ec64fc),
+`rails server` now listens on `localhost` instead of `0.0.0.0` by default. This
+should have minimal impact on the standard development workflow as both http://127.0.0.1:3000
+and http://localhost:3000 would continue to work as before on your own machine.
+
+However, with this change you would no longer be able to access the Rails server
+from a different machine (e.g. your development environment is in a virtual
+machine and you would like to access it from the host machine), you would need
+to start the server with `rails server -b 0.0.0.0` to restore the old behavior.

+
+To control the queue from the job level you can pass a block to queue_as. The

backends you need to specify the queues to listen to.

### 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:

### Web Console
-TODO: setup instructions for web console on existing apps.
+First, add `gem 'web-console', '~> 2.0'` to the `:development` group in your Gemfile and run `bundle install` (it won't have been included when you upgraded Rails). Once it's been installed, you can simply drop a reference to the console helper (i.e., `<%= console %>`) into any view you want to enable it for. A console will also be provided on any error page you view in your development environment.
+
+Additionally, you can tell Rails to automatically mount a VT100-compatible console on a predetermined path by setting the appropriate configuration flags in your development config:
+
+```ruby
+# config/environments/development.rb
+
+config.web_console.automount = true
+config.web_console.default_mount_path = '/terminal' # Optional, defaults to /console
+```
### Responders
-TODO: mention https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/16526
+`respond_with` and the class-level `respond_to` methods have been extracted to the `responders` gem. To use them, simply add `gem 'responders', '~> 2.0'` to your Gemfile. Calls to `respond_with` and `respond_to` (again, at the class level) will no longer work without having included the `responders` gem in your dependencies:
+
+```ruby
+# app/controllers/users_controller.rb
+
+class UsersController < ApplicationController
+ respond_to :html, :json
+
+ def show
+ @user = User.find(params[:id])
+ respond_with @user
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Instance-level `respond_to` is unaffected and does not require the additional gem:
+
+```ruby
+# app/controllers/users_controller.rb
+
+class UsersController < ApplicationController
+ def show
+ @user = User.find(params[:id])
+ respond_to do |format|
+ format.html
+ format.json { render json: @user }
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+See [#16526](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/16526) for more details.
### Error handling in transaction callbacks
-TODO: mention https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/16537
+Currently, Active Record suppresses errors raised
+within `after_rollback` or `after_commit` callbacks and only prints them to
+the logs. In the next version, these errors will no longer be suppressed.
+Instead, the errors will propagate normally just like in other Active
+Record callbacks.
+
+When you define a `after_rollback` or `after_commit` callback, you
+will receive a deprecation warning about this upcoming change. When
+you are ready, you can opt into the new behavior and remove the
+deprecation warning by adding following configuration to your
+`config/application.rb`:
+
+ config.active_record.raise_in_transactional_callbacks = true
+
+See [#14488](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/14488) and
+[#16537](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/16537) for more details.
+
+### Ordering of test cases
+
+In Rails 5.0, test cases will be executed in random order by default. In
+anticipation of this change, Rails 4.2 introduced a new configuration option
+`active_support.test_order` for explicitly specifying the test ordering. This
+allows you to either lock down the current behavior by setting the option to
+`:sorted`, or opt into the future behavior by setting the option to `:random`.
+
+If you do not specify a value for this option, a deprecation warning will be
+emitted. To avoid this, add the following line to your test environment:
+
+```ruby
+# config/environments/test.rb
+Rails.application.configure do
+ config.active_support.test_order = :sorted # or `:random` if you prefer
+end
+```
