* Fixed backward compatibility isues introduced in 326e652 Empty Hash or Array should not present in serialization result {a: []}.to_query # => "" {a: {}}.to_query # => "" For more info see #14948. *Bogdan Gusiev* * Add `SecureRandom::uuid_v3` and `SecureRandom::uuid_v5` to support stable UUID fixtures on PostgreSQL. *Roderick van Domburg* * Fixed `ActiveSupport::Duration#eql?` so that `1.second.eql?(1.second)` is true. This fixes the current situation of: 1.second.eql?(1.second) #=> false `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: 1.eql?(1.0) #=> false 1.0.eql?(1) #=> false 1.second.eql?(1) #=> false (was true) 1.eql?(1.second) #=> false { 1 => "foo", 1.0 => "bar" } #=> { 1 => "foo", 1.0 => "bar" } { 1 => "foo", 1.second => "bar" } # now => { 1 => "foo", 1.second => "bar" } # was => { 1 => "bar" } And though the behavior of these hasn't changed, for reference: 1 == 1.0 #=> true 1.0 == 1 #=> true 1 == 1.second #=> true 1.second == 1 #=> true *Emily Dobervich* * `ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer#prepend` acts like `String#prepend` and modifies instance in-place, returning self. `ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer#prepend!` is deprecated. *Pavel Pravosud* * `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. *Peter Jaros* * Deprecate `Class#superclass_delegating_accessor`, use `Class#class_attribute` instead. *Akshay Vishnoi* * Ensure classes which `include Enumerable` get `#to_json` in addition to `#as_json`. *Sammy Larbi* * Change the signature of `fetch_multi` to return a hash rather than an array. This makes it consistent with the output of `read_multi`. *Parker Selbert* * 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. # app/models/concerns/authentication.rb concern :Authentication do included do after_create :generate_private_key end class_methods do def authenticate(credentials) # ... end end def generate_private_key # ... end end # app/models/user.rb class User < ActiveRecord::Base include Authentication end *Jeremy Kemper* Please check [4-1-stable](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/4-1-stable/activesupport/CHANGELOG.md) for previous changes.
