  • Changed the system tests to set Puma as default server only when the user haven't specified manually another server.

    Guillermo Iguaran

  • Add secure X-Download-Options and X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies to default headers set.

    Guillermo Iguaran

  • Add headless firefox support to System Tests.

    bogdanvlviv

  • Changed the default system test screenshot output from inline to simple.

    inline works well for iTerm2 but not everyone uses iTerm2. Some terminals like Terminal.app ignore the inline and output the path to the file since it can't render the image. Other terminals, like those on Ubuntu, cannot handle the image inline, but also don't handle it gracefully and instead of outputting the file path, it dumps binary into the terminal.

    Commit 9d6e28 fixes this by changing the default for screenshot to be simple.

  • Register most popular audio/video/font mime types supported by modern browsers.

    Guillermo Iguaran

  • Fix optimized url helpers when using relative url root

    Fixes #31220.

Rails 5.2.0.beta1 (November 27, 2017)

  • Add DSL for configuring Content-Security-Policy header

    The DSL allows you to configure a global Content-Security-Policy header and then override within a controller. For more information about the Content-Security-Policy header see MDN:

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy

    Example global policy:

    # config/initializers/content_security_policy.rb
    Rails.application.config.content_security_policy do |p|
      p.default_src :self, :https
      p.font_src    :self, :https, :data
      p.img_src     :self, :https, :data
      p.object_src  :none
      p.script_src  :self, :https
      p.style_src   :self, :https, :unsafe_inline
    end
    

    Example controller overrides:

    # Override policy inline
    class PostsController < ApplicationController
      content_security_policy do |p|
        p.upgrade_insecure_requests true
      end
    end
    
    # Using literal values
    class PostsController < ApplicationController
      content_security_policy do |p|
        p.base_uri "https://www.example.com"
      end
    end
    
    # Using mixed static and dynamic values
    class PostsController < ApplicationController
      content_security_policy do |p|
        p.base_uri :self, -> { "https://#{current_user.domain}.example.com" }
      end
    end
    

    Allows you to also only report content violations for migrating legacy content using the content_security_policy_report_only configuration attribute, e.g;

    # config/initializers/content_security_policy.rb
    Rails.application.config.content_security_policy_report_only = true
    
    # controller override
    class PostsController < ApplicationController
      self.content_security_policy_report_only = true
    end
    

    Note that this feature does not validate the header for performance reasons since the header is calculated at runtime.

  • Make assert_recognizes to traverse mounted engines

    Yuichiro Kaneko

  • Remove deprecated ActionController::ParamsParser::ParseError.

    Rafael Mendonça França

  • Add :allow_other_host option to redirect_back method. When allow_other_host is set to false, the redirect_back will not allow a redirecting from a different host. allow_other_host is true by default.

    Tim Masliuchenko

  • Add headless chrome support to System Tests.

    Yuji Yaginuma

  • Add ability to enable Early Hints for HTTP/2

    If supported by the server, and enabled in Puma this allows H2 Early Hints to be used.

    The javascript_include_tag and the stylesheet_link_tag automatically add Early Hints if requested.

  • Simplify cookies middleware with key rotation support

    Use the rotate method for both MessageEncryptor and MessageVerifier to add key rotation support for encrypted and signed cookies. This also helps simplify support for legacy cookie security.

    Michael J Coyne

  • Use Capybara registered :puma server config.

    The Capybara registered :puma server ensures the puma server is run in process so connection sharing and open request detection work correctly by default.

  • Cookies :expires option supports ActiveSupport::Duration object.

    cookies[:user_name] = { value: "assain", expires: 1.hour }
    cookies[:key] = { value: "a yummy cookie", expires: 6.months }
    

    Pull Request: #30121

    Assain Jaleel

  • Enforce signed/encrypted cookie expiry server side.

    Rails can thwart attacks by malicious clients that don't honor a cookie's expiry.

    It does so by stashing the expiry within the written cookie and relying on the signing/encrypting to vouch that it hasn't been tampered with. Then on a server-side read, the expiry is verified and any expired cookie is discarded.

  • Make take_failed_screenshot work within engine.

    Fixes #30405.

    Yuji Yaginuma

  • Deprecate ActionDispatch::TestResponse response aliases

    #success?, #missing? & #error? are not supported by the actual ActionDispatch::Response object and can produce false-positives. Instead, use the response helpers provided by Rack::Response.

    Trevor Wistaff

  • Protect from forgery by default

    Rather than protecting from forgery in the generated ApplicationController, add it to ActionController::Base depending on config.action_controller.default_protect_from_forgery. This configuration defaults to false to support older versions which have removed it from their ApplicationController, but is set to true for Rails 5.2.

    Lisa Ugray

  • Fallback ActionController::Parameters#to_s to Hash#to_s.

    Kir Shatrov

  • driven_by now registers poltergeist and capybara-webkit.

    If poltergeist or capybara-webkit are set as drivers is set for System Tests, driven_by will register the driver and set additional options passed via the :options parameter.

    Refer to the respective driver's documentation to see what options can be passed.

    Mario Chavez

  • AEAD encrypted cookies and sessions with GCM.

    Encrypted cookies now use AES-GCM which couples authentication and encryption in one faster step and produces shorter ciphertexts. Cookies encrypted using AES in CBC HMAC mode will be seamlessly upgraded when this new mode is enabled via the action_dispatch.use_authenticated_cookie_encryption configuration value.

    Michael J Coyne

  • Change the cache key format for fragments to make it easier to debug key churn. The new format is:

    views/template/action.html.erb:7a1156131a6928cb0026877f8b749ac9/projects/123
          ^template path           ^template tree digest            ^class   ^id
    

    DHH

  • Add support for recyclable cache keys with fragment caching. This uses the new versioned entries in the ActiveSupport::Cache stores and relies on the fact that Active Record has split #cache_key and #cache_version to support it.

    DHH

  • Add action_controller_api and action_controller_base load hooks to be called in ActiveSupport.on_load

    ActionController::Base and ActionController::API have differing implementations. This means that the one umbrella hook action_controller is not able to address certain situations where a method may not exist in a certain implementation.

    This is fixed by adding two new hooks so you can target ActionController::Base vs ActionController::API

    Fixes #27013.
