rails--rails/activesupport/CHANGELOG.md

• Corrected Inflector#underscore handling of multiple successive acroynms.

  James Le Cuirot

• Delegation now works with ruby reserved words passed to :to option.

  Fixes #16956.

  Agis Anastasopoulos

• Added method #eql? to ActiveSupport::Duration, in addition to #==.

  Currently, the following returns false, contrary to expectation:

  1.minute.eql?(1.minute)
  

  Adding method #eql? will make this behave like expected. Method #eql? is just a bit stricter than #==, as it checks whether the argument is also a duration. Their parts may be different though.

  1.minute.eql?(60.seconds)  # => true
  1.minute.eql?(60)          # => false
  

  Joost Lubach

• Time#change can now change nanoseconds (:nsec) as a higher-precision alternative to microseconds (:usec).

  Agis Anastasooulos

• MessageVerifier.new raises an appropriate exception if the secret is nil. This prevents MessageVerifier#generate from raising a cryptic error later on.

  Kostiantyn Kahanskyi

• Introduced new configuration option active_support.test_order for specifying the order in which test cases are executed. This option currently defaults to :sorted but will be changed to :random in Rails 5.0.

  Akira Matsuda, Godfrey Chan

• Fixed a bug in Inflector#underscore where acroynms in nested constant names are incorrectly parsed as camelCase.

  Fixes #8015.

  Fred Wu, Matthew Draper

• Make Time#change throw an exception if the :usec option is out of range and the time has an offset other than UTC or local.

  Agis Anastasopoulos

• Method objects now report themselves as not duplicable?. This allows hashes and arrays containing Method objects to be deep_duped.

  Peter Jaros

• determine_constant_from_test_name does no longer shadow NameErrors which happens during constant autoloading.

  Fixes #9933.

  Guo Xiang Tan

• Added instance_eval version to Object#try and Object#try!, so you can do this:

  person.try { name.first }
  

  instead of:

  person.try { |person| person.name.first }
  

  DHH, Ari Pollak

• Fix the ActiveSupport::Duration#instance_of? method to return the right value with the class itself since it was previously delegated to the internal value.

  Robin Dupret

• Fix rounding errors with #travel_to by resetting the usec on any passed time to zero, so we only travel with per-second precision, not anything deeper than that.

  DHH

• Fix DateTime comparison with DateTime::Infinity object.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Added Object#itself which returns the object itself. Useful when dealing with a chaining scenario, like Active Record scopes:

  Event.public_send(state.presence_in([ :trashed, :drafted ]) || :itself).order(:created_at)
  

  DHH

• Object#with_options executes block in merging option context when explicit receiver in not passed.

  Pavel Pravosud

• Fixed a compatibility issue with the Oj gem when cherry-picking the file active_support/core_ext/object/json without requiring active_support/json.

  Fixes #16131.

  Godfrey Chan

• Make Hash#with_indifferent_access copy the default proc too.

  arthurnn, Xanders

• Add String#truncate_words to truncate a string by a number of words.

  Mohamed Osama

• Deprecate capture and quietly.

  These methods are not thread safe and may cause issues when used in threaded environments. To avoid problems we are deprecating them.

  Tom Meier

• DateTime#to_f now preserves the fractional seconds instead of always rounding to .0.

  Fixes #15994.

  John Paul Ashenfelter

• Add Hash#transform_values to simplify a common pattern where the values of a hash must change, but the keys are left the same.

  Sean Griffin

• Always instrument ActiveSupport::Cache.

  Since ActiveSupport::Notifications only instruments items when there are attached subscribers, we don't need to disable instrumentation.

  Peter Wagenet

• Make the apply_inflections method case-insensitive when checking whether a word is uncountable or not.

  Robin Dupret

• Make Dependencies pass a name to NameError error.

  arthurnn

• Fixed ActiveSupport::Cache::FileStore exploding with long paths.

  Adam Panzer / Michael Grosser

• Fixed ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone#- so precision is not unnecessarily lost when working with objects with a nanosecond component.

  ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone#- should return the same result as if we were using Time#-:

  Time.now.end_of_day - Time.now.beginning_of_day # => 86399.999999999
  

  Before:

  Time.zone.now.end_of_day.nsec # => 999999999
  Time.zone.now.end_of_day - Time.zone.now.beginning_of_day # => 86400.0
  

  After:

  Time.zone.now.end_of_day - Time.zone.now.beginning_of_day
  # => 86399.999999999
  

  Gordon Chan

• Fixed precision error in NumberHelper when using Rationals.

  Before:

  ActiveSupport::NumberHelper.number_to_rounded Rational(1000, 3), precision: 2
  # => "330.00"
  

  After:

  ActiveSupport::NumberHelper.number_to_rounded Rational(1000, 3), precision: 2
  # => "333.33"
  

  See #15379.

  Juanjo Bazán

• Removed deprecated Numeric#ago and friends

  Replacements:

  5.ago   => 5.seconds.ago
  5.until => 5.seconds.until
  5.since => 5.seconds.since
  5.from_now => 5.seconds.from_now
  

  See #12389 for the history and rationale behind this.

  Godfrey Chan

• DateTime advance now supports partial days.

  Before:

  DateTime.now.advance(days: 1, hours: 12)
  

  After:

  DateTime.now.advance(days: 1.5)
  

  Fixes #12005.

  Shay Davidson

• Hash#deep_transform_keys and Hash#deep_transform_keys! now transform hashes in nested arrays. This change also applies to Hash#deep_stringify_keys, Hash#deep_stringify_keys!, Hash#deep_symbolize_keys and Hash#deep_symbolize_keys!.

  OZAWA Sakuro

• Fixed confusing DelegationError in Module#delegate.

  See #15186.

  Vladimir Yarotsky

• Fixed ActiveSupport::Subscriber so that no duplicate subscriber is created when a subscriber method is redefined.

  Dennis Schön

• Remove deprecated string based terminators for ActiveSupport::Callbacks.

  Eileen M. Uchitelle

• Fixed an issue when using ActiveSupport::NumberHelper::NumberToDelimitedConverter to convert a value that is an ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer introduced in 2da9d67.

  See #15064.

  Mark J. Titorenko

• TimeZone#parse defaults the day of the month to '1' if any other date components are specified. This is more consistent with the behavior of Time#parse.

  Ulysse Carion

• humanize strips leading underscores, if any.

  Before:

  '_id'.humanize # => ""
  

  After:

  '_id'.humanize # => "Id"
  

  Xavier Noria

• Fixed backward compatibility issues introduced in 326e652.

  Empty Hash or Array should not be present in serialization result.

  {a: []}.to_query # => ""
  {a: {}}.to_query # => ""
  

  For more info see #14948.

  Bogdan Gusiev

• Add Digest::UUID::uuid_v3 and Digest::UUID::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 receives. In particular, .new, #update, #merge, and #replace 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
