rails--rails/actionpack/CHANGELOG.md

• Allow opting out of the SameSite cookie attribute when setting a cookie.

  You can opt out of SameSite by passing same_site: nil.

  cookies[:foo] = { value: "bar", same_site: nil }

  Previously, this incorrectly set the SameSite attribute to the value of the cookies_same_site_protection setting.

• Allow using helper_methods in content_security_policy and permissions_policy

  Previously you could access basic helpers (defined in helper modules), but not helper methods defined using helper_method. Now you can use either.

  content_security_policy do |p|
    p.default_src "https://example.com"
    p.script_src "https://example.com" if helpers.script_csp?
  end
  

  Alex Ghiculescu

• Reimplement ActionController::Parameters#has_value? and #value? to avoid parameters and hashes comparison.

  Deprecated equality between parameters and hashes is going to be removed in Rails 7.2. The new implementation takes care of conversions.

  Seva Stefkin

• Allow only String and Symbol keys in ActionController::Parameters. Raise ActionController::InvalidParameterKey when initializing Parameters with keys that aren't strings or symbols.

  Seva Stefkin

• Add the ability to use custom logic for storing and retrieving CSRF tokens.

  By default, the token will be stored in the session. Custom classes can be defined to specify arbitrary behavior, but the ability to store them in encrypted cookies is built in.

  Andrew Kowpak

• Make ActionController::Parameters#values cast nested hashes into parameters.

  Gannon McGibbon

• Introduce html: and screenshot: kwargs for system test screenshot helper

  Use these as an alternative to the already-available environment variables.

  For example, this will display a screenshot in iTerm, save the HTML, and output its path.

  take_screenshot(html: true, screenshot: "inline")
  

  Alex Ghiculescu

• Allow ActionController::Parameters#to_h to receive a block.

  Bob Farrell

• Allow relative redirects when raise_on_open_redirects is enabled

  Tom Hughes

• Allow Content Security Policy DSL to generate for API responses.

  Tim Wade

• Fix authenticate_with_http_basic to allow for missing password.

  Before Rails 7.0 it was possible to handle basic authentication with only a username.

  authenticate_with_http_basic do |token, _|
    ApiClient.authenticate(token)
  end
  

  This ability is restored.

  Jean Boussier

• Fix content_security_policy returning invalid directives.

  Directives such as self, unsafe-eval and few others were not single quoted when the directive was the result of calling a lambda returning an array.

  content_security_policy do |policy|
    policy.frame_ancestors lambda { [:self, "https://example.com"] }
  end
  

  With this fix the policy generated from above will now be valid.

  Edouard Chin

• Fix skip_forgery_protection to run without raising an error if forgery protection has not been enabled / verify_authenticity_token is not a defined callback.

  This fix prevents the Rails 7.0 Welcome Page (/) from raising an ArgumentError if default_protect_from_forgery is false.

  Brad Trick

• Make redirect_to return an empty response body.

  Application controllers that wish to add a response body after calling redirect_to can continue to do so.

  Jon Dufresne

• Use non-capturing group for subdomain matching in ActionDispatch::HostAuthorization

  Since we do nothing with the captured subdomain group, we can use a non-capturing group instead.

  Sam Bostock

• Fix ActionController::Live to copy the IsolatedExecutionState in the ephemeral thread.

  Since its inception ActionController::Live has been copying thread local variables to keep things such as CurrentAttributes set from middlewares working in the controller action.

  With the introduction of IsolatedExecutionState in 7.0, some of that global state was lost in ActionController::Live controllers.

  Jean Boussier

• Fix setting trailing_slash: true in route definition.

  get '/test' => "test#index", as: :test, trailing_slash: true
  
  test_path() # => "/test/"
  

  Jean Boussier

• Make Session#merge! stringify keys.

  Previously Session#update would, but merge! wouldn't.
