• Pull in the custom configuration concept from dhh/custom_configuration, which allows you to configure your own code through the Rails configuration object with custom configuration:

  # config/environments/production.rb
  config.x.payment_processing.schedule = :daily
  config.x.payment_processing.retries  = 3
  config.x.super_debugger              = true
  

  These configuration points are then available through the configuration object:

  Rails.configuration.x.payment_processing.schedule # => :daily
  Rails.configuration.x.payment_processing.retries  # => 3
  Rails.configuration.x.super_debugger              # => true

  development:

• Make the rails:template rake task load the application's initializers.

  Robin Dupret

• Introduce Rails.gem_version as a convenience method to return Gem::Version.new(Rails.version), suggesting a more reliable way to perform version comparison.

  Example:

  Rails.version #=> "4.1.2"
  Rails.gem_version #=> #<Gem::Version "4.1.2">
  
  Rails.version > "4.1.10" #=> false
  Rails.gem_version > Gem::Version.new("4.1.10") #=> true
  Gem::Requirement.new("~> 4.1.2") =~ Rails.gem_version #=> true
  

  Prem Sichanugrist

• Avoid namespacing routes inside engines.

  Mountable engines are namespaced by default so the generated routes were too while they should not.

  Fixes #14079.
