    the task description instead of the general Rake help.

*   Add missing `plugin new` command to help.

    *Petrik de Heus*

*   Modified scaffold generator template so that running
    `rails g scaffold Author` no longer generates tests called "creating
    a Author", "updating a Author", and "destroying a Author".

*   Fix compatibility with `psych >= 4`.

    Starting in Psych 4.0.0 `YAML.load` behaves like `YAML.safe_load`. To preserve compatibility
    `Rails.application.config_for` now uses `YAML.unsafe_load` if available.

    *Gannon McGibbon*

    *Alex Ghiculescu*

*   Change default branch for new Rails projects and plugins to `main`.

*   Add benchmark method that can be called from anywhere.

    This method is used as a quick way to measure & log the speed of some code.
    However, it was previously available only in specific contexts, mainly views and controllers.
    The new Rails.benchmark can be used in the rest of your app: services, API wrappers, models, etc.

        def test
          Rails.benchmark("test") { ... }
        end

    *Simon Perepelitsa*

*   Removed manifest.js and application.css in app/assets
    folder when --skip-sprockets option passed as flag to rails.

*   Add support for stylesheets and ERB views to `rails stats`.
