Upgrading to Rails 5.0
----------------------
If you're upgrading an existing application, it's a great idea to have good test
coverage before going in. You should also first upgrade to Rails 4.2 in case you
haven't and make sure your application still runs as expected before attempting
an update to Rails 5.0. 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-4-2-to-rails-5-0)
guide.

([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/18937))
* Added `config.active_record.dump_schemas` to configure the behavior of
`db:structure:dump`.
([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/19347))
* Added `config.active_record.warn_on_records_fetched_greater_than` option.
([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/18846))
* Added a native JSON data type support in MySQL.
([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/21110))
* Added support for dropping indexes concurrently in PostgreSQL.
([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/21317))
* Added `#views` and `#view_exists?` methods on connection adapters.
([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/21609))
* Added `ActiveRecord::Base.ignored_columns` to make some columns
invisible from Active Record.
([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/21720))
* Added `connection.data_sources` and `connection.data_source_exists?`.
These methods determine what relations can be used to back Active Record
models (usually tables and views).
([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/21715))
* Allow fixtures files to set the model class in the YAML file itself.
([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/20574))
* Added ability to default to `uuid` as primary key when generating database
migrations. ([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/21762))

* Added `after_{create,update,delete}_commit` callbacks.
([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/22516))
* Version the API presented to migration classes, so we can change parameter
defaults without breaking existing migrations, or forcing them to be
rewritten through a deprecation cycle.
([Pull Request](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/21538))
* `ApplicationRecord` is a new superclass for all app models, analogous to app
controllers subclassing `ApplicationController` instead of
`ActionController::Base`. This gives apps a single spot to configure app-wide
model behavior.
