*   Improve `Range#===`, `Range#include?`, and `Range#cover?` to work with beginless (startless)
    and endless range targets.

    *Allen Hsu*, *Andrew Hodgkinson*

*   Don't use `Process#clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID)` on Solaris

    *Iain Beeston*

*   Prevent `ActiveSupport::Duration.build(value)` from creating instances of
    `ActiveSupport::Duration` unless `value` is of type `Numeric`.

    Addresses the errant set of behaviours described in #37012 where
    `ActiveSupport::Duration` comparisons would fail confusingly
    or return unexpected results when comparing durations built from instances of `String`.

    Before:

        small_duration_from_string = ActiveSupport::Duration.build('9')
        large_duration_from_string = ActiveSupport::Duration.build('100000000000000')
        small_duration_from_int = ActiveSupport::Duration.build(9)

        large_duration_from_string > small_duration_from_string
            => false

        small_duration_from_string == small_duration_from_int
            => false

        small_duration_from_int < large_duration_from_string
            => ArgumentError (comparison of ActiveSupport::Duration::Scalar
                    with ActiveSupport::Duration failed)

        large_duration_from_string > small_duration_from_int
            => ArgumentError (comparison of String with ActiveSupport::Duration failed)

    After:

        small_duration_from_string = ActiveSupport::Duration.build('9')
            => TypeError (can't build an ActiveSupport::Duration from a String)

    *Alexei Emam*

*   Add `ActiveSupport::Cache::Store#delete_multi` method to delete multiple keys from the cache store.

    *Peter Zhu*

*   Support multiple arguments in `HashWithIndifferentAccess` for `merge` and `update` methods, to
    follow Ruby 2.6 addition.

    *Wojciech Wnętrzak*

*   Allow initializing `thread_mattr_*` attributes via `:default` option

        class Scraper
          thread_mattr_reader :client, default: Api::Client.new
        end

    *Guilherme Mansur*

*   Add `compact_blank` for those times when you want to remove #blank? values from
    an Enumerable (also `compact_blank!` on Hash, Array, ActionController::Parameters)

    *Dana Sherson*

*   Make ActiveSupport::Logger Fiber-safe. Fixes #36752.

    Use `Fiber.current.__id__` in `ActiveSupport::Logger#local_level=` in order
    to make log level local to Ruby Fibers in addition to Threads.

    Example:

        logger = ActiveSupport::Logger.new(STDOUT)
        logger.level = 1
        p "Main is debug? #{logger.debug?}"

        Fiber.new {
          logger.local_level = 0
          p "Thread is debug? #{logger.debug?}"
        }.resume

        p "Main is debug? #{logger.debug?}"

    Before:

        Main is debug? false
        Thread is debug? true
        Main is debug? true

    After:

        Main is debug? false
        Thread is debug? true
        Main is debug? false

    *Alexander Varnin*

*   Allow the `on_rotation` proc used when decrypting/verifying a message to be
    passed at the constructor level.

    Before:

        crypt = ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor.new('long_secret')
        crypt.decrypt_and_verify(encrypted_message, on_rotation: proc { ... })
        crypt.decrypt_and_verify(another_encrypted_message, on_rotation: proc { ... })

    After:

        crypt = ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor.new('long_secret', on_rotation: proc { ... })
        crypt.decrypt_and_verify(encrypted_message)
        crypt.decrypt_and_verify(another_encrypted_message)

    *Edouard Chin*

*   `delegate_missing_to` would raise a `DelegationError` if the object
    delegated to was `nil`. Now the `allow_nil` option has been added to enable
    the user to specify they want `nil` returned in this case.

    *Matthew Tanous*

*   `truncate` would return the original string if it was too short to be truncated
    and a frozen string if it were long enough to be truncated. Now truncate will
    consistently return an unfrozen string regardless. This behavior is consistent
    with `gsub` and `strip`.

    Before:

        'foobar'.truncate(5).frozen?
        # => true
        'foobar'.truncate(6).frozen?
        # => false

    After:

        'foobar'.truncate(5).frozen?
        # => false
        'foobar'.truncate(6).frozen?
        # => false

    *Jordan Thomas*
