*  Add Server-Timing middleware

   Server-Timing specification defines how the server can communicate to browsers performance metrics
   about the request it is responding to.

   The ServerTiming middleware is enabled by default on `development` environment by default using the
   `config.server_timing` setting and set the relevant duration metrics in the `Server-Timing` header

   The full specification for Server-Timing header can be found in: https://www.w3.org/TR/server-timing/#dfn-server-timing-header-field

## Rails 7.0.0.alpha2 (September 15, 2021) ##

*   No changes.


## Rails 7.0.0.alpha1 (September 15, 2021) ##

*   Use a static error message when raising `ActionDispatch::Http::Parameters::ParseError`
    to avoid inadvertently logging the HTTP request body at the `fatal` level when it contains
    malformed JSON.

    Fixes #41145

    *Aaron Lahey*

*   Add `Middleware#delete!` to delete middleware or raise if not found.

    `Middleware#delete!` works just like `Middleware#delete` but will
    raise an error if the middleware isn't found.

    *Alex Ghiculescu*, *Petrik de Heus*, *Junichi Sato*

*   Raise error on unpermitted open redirects.

    Add `allow_other_host` options to `redirect_to`.
    Opt in to this behaviour with `ActionController::Base.raise_on_open_redirects = true`.

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   Deprecate `poltergeist` and `webkit` (capybara-webkit) driver registration for system testing (they will be removed in Rails 7.1). Add `cuprite` instead.

    [Poltergeist](https://github.com/teampoltergeist/poltergeist) and [capybara-webkit](https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit) are already not maintained. These usage in Rails are removed for avoiding confusing users.

    [Cuprite](https://github.com/rubycdp/cuprite) is a good alternative to Poltergeist. Some guide descriptions are replaced from Poltergeist to Cuprite.

    *Yusuke Iwaki*

*   Exclude additional flash types from `ActionController::Base.action_methods`.

    Ensures that additional flash types defined on ActionController::Base subclasses
    are not listed as actions on that controller.

        class MyController < ApplicationController
          add_flash_types :hype
        end

        MyController.action_methods.include?('hype') # => false

    *Gavin Morrice*

*   OpenSSL constants are now used for Digest computations.

    *Dirkjan Bussink*

*   Remove IE6-7-8 file download related hack/fix from ActionController::DataStreaming module.

    Due to the age of those versions of IE this fix is no longer relevant, more importantly it creates an edge-case for unexpected Cache-Control headers.

    *Tadas Sasnauskas*

*   Configuration setting to skip logging an uncaught exception backtrace when the exception is
    present in `rescued_responses`.

    It may be too noisy to get all backtraces logged for applications that manage uncaught
    exceptions via `rescued_responses` and `exceptions_app`.
    `config.action_dispatch.log_rescued_responses` (defaults to `true`) can be set to `false` in
    this case, so that only exceptions not found in `rescued_responses` will be logged.

    *Alexander Azarov*, *Mike Dalessio*

*   Ignore file fixtures on `db:fixtures:load`.

    *Kevin Sjöberg*

*   Fix ActionController::Live controller test deadlocks by removing the body buffer size limit for tests.

    *Dylan Thacker-Smith*

*   New `ActionController::ConditionalGet#no_store` method to set HTTP cache control `no-store` directive.

    *Tadas Sasnauskas*

*   Drop support for the `SERVER_ADDR` header.

    Following up https://github.com/rack/rack/pull/1573 and https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/42349.

    *Ricardo Díaz*

*   Set session options when initializing a basic session.

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   Add `cache_control: {}` option to `fresh_when` and `stale?`.

    Works as a shortcut to set `response.cache_control` with the above methods.

    *Jacopo Beschi*

*   Writing into a disabled session will now raise an error.

    Previously when no session store was set, writing into the session would silently fail.

    *Jean Boussier*

*   Add support for 'require-trusted-types-for' and 'trusted-types' headers.

    Fixes #42034.

    *lfalcao*

*   Remove inline styles and address basic accessibility issues on rescue templates.

    *Jacob Herrington*

*   Add support for 'private, no-store' Cache-Control headers.

    Previously, 'no-store' was exclusive; no other directives could be specified.

    *Alex Smith*

*   Expand payload of `unpermitted_parameters.action_controller` instrumentation to allow subscribers to
    know which controller action received unpermitted parameters.

    *bbuchalter*

*   Add `ActionController::Live#send_stream` that makes it more convenient to send generated streams:

    ```ruby
    send_stream(filename: "subscribers.csv") do |stream|
      stream.writeln "email_address,updated_at"

      @subscribers.find_each do |subscriber|
        stream.writeln [ subscriber.email_address, subscriber.updated_at ].join(",")
      end
    end
    ```

    *DHH*

*   Add `ActionController::Live::Buffer#writeln` to write a line to the stream with a newline included.

    *DHH*

*   `ActionDispatch::Request#content_type` now returned Content-Type header as it is.

    Previously, `ActionDispatch::Request#content_type` returned value does NOT contain charset part.
    This behavior changed to returned Content-Type header containing charset part as it is.

    If you want just MIME type, please use `ActionDispatch::Request#media_type` instead.

    Before:

    ```ruby
    request = ActionDispatch::Request.new("CONTENT_TYPE" => "text/csv; header=present; charset=utf-16", "REQUEST_METHOD" => "GET")
    request.content_type #=> "text/csv"
    ```

    After:

    ```ruby
    request = ActionDispatch::Request.new("Content-Type" => "text/csv; header=present; charset=utf-16", "REQUEST_METHOD" => "GET")
    request.content_type #=> "text/csv; header=present; charset=utf-16"
    request.media_type   #=> "text/csv"
    ```

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Change `ActionDispatch::Request#media_type` to return `nil` when the request don't have a `Content-Type` header.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Fix error in `ActionController::LogSubscriber` that would happen when throwing inside a controller action.

    *Janko Marohnić*

*   Allow anything with `#to_str` (like `Addressable::URI`) as a `redirect_to` location.

    *ojab*

*   Change the request method to a `GET` when passing failed requests down to `config.exceptions_app`.

    *Alex Robbin*

*   Deprecate the ability to assign a single value to `config.action_dispatch.trusted_proxies`
    as `RemoteIp` middleware behaves inconsistently depending on whether this is configured
    with a single value or an enumerable.

    Fixes #40772.

    *Christian Sutter*

*   Add `redirect_back_or_to(fallback_location, **)` as a more aesthetically pleasing version of `redirect_back fallback_location:, **`.
    The old method name is retained without explicit deprecation.

    *DHH*
