• AS::Testing::TimeHelpers#travel_to now changes DateTime.now as well as Time.now and Date.today.

• Add file_fixture to ActiveSupport::TestCase. It provides a simple mechanism to access sample files in your test cases.

  By default file fixtures are stored in test/fixtures/files. This can be configured per test-case using the file_fixture_path class attribute.

  Yves Senn

• Return value of yielded block in File.atomic_write.

  Ian Ker-Seymer

• Duplicate frozen array when assigning it to a HashWithIndifferentAccess so that it doesn't raise a RuntimeError when calling map! on it in convert_value.

  Fixes #18550.

  Aditya Kapoor

• Add missing time zone definitions for Russian Federation and sync them with zone.tab file from tzdata version 2014j (latest).

  Andrey Novikov

• Add same_time option to #next_week and #prev_week for Date, Time, and DateTime.

  George Claghorn

• Add #on_weekend?, #next_weekday, #prev_weekday methods to Date, Time, and DateTime.

  #on_weekend? returns true if the receiving date/time falls on a Saturday or Sunday.

  #next_weekday returns a new date/time representing the next day that does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday.

  #prev_weekday returns a new date/time representing the previous day that does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday.

  George Claghorn

• Change the default test order from :sorted to :random.

• Remove deprecated ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer#prepend.

  Rafael Mendonça França

  silence_stderr, silence_stream, capture and quietly.

• Remove deprecated active_support/core_ext/big_decimal/yaml_conversions file.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated methods ActiveSupport::Cache::Store.instrument and ActiveSupport::Cache::Store.instrument=.

• Change the way in which callback chains can be halted.

  The preferred method to halt a callback chain from now on is to explicitly throw(:abort). In the past, returning false in an ActiveSupport callback had the side effect of halting the callback chain. This is not recommended anymore and, depending on the value of Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false, will either not work at all or display a deprecation warning.

• Add Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false

  Setting Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false to true will let an app support the deprecated way of halting callback chains by returning false.

  Setting the value to false will tell the app to ignore any false value returned by callbacks, and only halt the chain upon throw(:abort).

  The value can also be set with the Rails configuration option config.active_support.halt_callback_chains_on_return_false.

  When the configuration option is missing, its value is true, so older apps ported to Rails 5.0 will not break (but display a deprecation warning). For new Rails 5.0 apps, its value is set to false in an initializer, so these apps will support the new behavior by default.

• Changes arguments and default value of CallbackChain's :terminator option

  Chains of callbacks defined without an explicit :terminator option will now be halted as soon as a before_ callback throws :abort.

  Chains of callbacks defined with a :terminator option will maintain their existing behavior of halting as soon as a before_ callback matches the terminator's expectation.

  claudiob

• Deprecate MissingSourceFile in favor of LoadError.

  MissingSourceFile was just an alias to LoadError and was not being raised inside the framework.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Add support for error dispatcher classes in ActiveSupport::Rescuable. Now it acts closer to Ruby's rescue.

  Example:

  class BaseController < ApplicationController
    module ErrorDispatcher
      def self.===(other)
        Exception === other && other.respond_to?(:status)
      end
    end
  
    rescue_from ErrorDispatcher do |error|
      render status: error.status, json: { error: error.to_s }
    end
  end

• Add #verified and #valid_message? methods to ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier

  Previously, the only way to decode a message with ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier was to use #verify, which would raise an exception on invalid messages. Now #verified can also be used, which returns nil on messages that cannot be decoded.

  Previously, there was no way to check if a message's format was valid without attempting to decode it. #valid_message? is a boolean convenience method that checks whether the message is valid without actually decoding it.
