If the host in `default_url_options` is accidentally set with a protocol such as ``` host: "http://example.com" ``` then the generated url will have the protocol twice `http://http://example.com` which is not what the user intended. Likely they wanted to define a host `host: "example.com"` and a `protocol: "http://"` but did not know the convention. This may not the most common problem, but when it happens it can go undetected for a while. I accidentally added `http://` out of habit recently only to find all the links in my emails were broken after deploying a demo site to production. Rather than allow this accident go undetected, we can fix the problem in line by properly setting the protocol and host. I was able to find this related question on stack overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5878329/rails-3-devise-how-do-i-make-the-email-confirmation-links-use-secure-https-n where the answer was highly upvoted. This is based off of work in #7415 cc/ @pixeltrix ATP Action Mailer and Action Pack

Change
image_alt
method to replace underscores/hyphens to spaces in filenames.Previously, underscored filenames became
alt="A_long_file_name_with_underscores"
in HTML, which is poor for accessibility. For instance, Apple's VoiceOver Utility pronounces each underscore.A_long_file_name
thus would be read asA underscore long underscore file underscore name.
Now underscored or hyphenated filenames (both of which are very popular naming conventions) read more naturally in screen readers by converting both hyphens and underscores to spaces.Before:
image_tag('underscored_file_name.png') # => <img alt="Underscored_file_name" src="/assets/underscored_file_name.png" />
After:
image_tag('underscored_file_name.png') # => <img alt="Underscored file name" src="/assets/underscored_file_name.png" />

Add JavaScript based routing path matcher to
/rails/info/routes
. Routes can now be filtered by whether or not they match a path.Richard Schneeman
-
Change the behavior of route defaults so that explicit defaults are no longer required where the key is not part of the path. For example:
resources :posts, bucket_type: 'posts'
will be required whenever constructing the url from a hash such as a functional test or using
url_for
directly. However using the explicit form alters the behavior so it's not required:resources :projects, defaults: { bucket_type: 'projects' }
This changes existing behavior slightly in that any routes which only differ in their defaults will match the first route rather than the closest match.
Andrew White
-
Add support for routing constraints other than Regexp and String. For example this now allows the use of arrays like this:
get '/foo/:action', to: 'foo', constraints: { subdomain: %w[www admin] }
or constraints where the request method returns an Fixnum like this:
get '/foo', to: 'foo#index', constraints: { port: 8080 }
Note that this only applies to constraints on the request - path constraints still need to be specified as Regexps as the various constraints are compiled into a single Regexp.

Fix a bug in integration tests where setting the port via a url passed to the process method was ignored when constructing the request environment.

Rename all action callbacks from *_filter to *_action to avoid the misconception that these callbacks are only suited for transforming or halting the response. With the new style, it's more inviting to use them as they were intended, like setting shared ivars for views.
Example:
class PeopleController < ActionController::Base before_action :set_person, except: [:index, :new, :create] before_action :ensure_permission, only: [:edit, :update] ... private def set_person @person = current_account.people.find(params[:id]) end def ensure_permission current_person.can_change?(@person) end end
The old *_filter methods still work with no deprecation notice.

Change a way of ordering helpers from several directories. Previously, when loading helpers from multiple paths, all of the helpers files were gathered into one array an then they were sorted. Helpers from different directories should not be mixed before loading them to make loading more predictable. The most common use case for such behavior is loading helpers from engines. When you load helpers from application and engine Foo, in that order, first rails will load all of the helpers from application, sorted alphabetically and then it will do the same for Foo engine.
