![]() The FSM used to find matching routes was previously limited to patterns
that contained parameters with the default regexp / no constraints. In
large route sets where many parameters are constrained by custom regexp,
these routes all fall back on a slow linear search over the route list.
These custom regexes were not previously able to be included in the FSM
because it transitioned between nodes using only fragments of the URI,
or path separators [/.?], but a custom regex may cross a path separator
boundary. To work around this, the TransitionTable is improved to
support remembering a point within the matching string that we started,
and continuing to attempt to match from that point up to the end of each
token. Only parameters not on a path separator boundary must still match
with a linear search after this change (e.g. `/foo-:bar/`).
This results in performance for constrainted routes that matches that of
ones using the default regexp.

Before:
```
Calculating -------------------------------------
without params 6.466k (±12.7%) i/s - 31.648k in 5.009453s
params without constraints
5.867k (±12.9%) i/s - 28.842k in 5.032637s
params with constraints
909.661 (± 7.9%) i/s - 4.536k in 5.023534s
```
After:
```
Calculating -------------------------------------
without params 6.387k (±11.9%) i/s - 31.728k in 5.068939s
params without constraints
5.824k (±13.2%) i/s - 28.650k in 5.043701s
params with constraints
5.406k (±11.7%) i/s - 26.931k in 5.076412s
```
For github.com which has many constrainted parameters, a random sampling
of 10 URL patterns can be matched approximately 2-4x faster than before.

= Action Pack -- From request to response Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining *controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses by rendering *views*, which are templates of various formats. In short, Action Pack provides the view and controller layers in the MVC paradigm. It consists of several modules: * Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT bodies, handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions. * Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result of an action is typically content generated from views. With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and can be used outside of Rails. You can read more about Action Pack in the {Action Controller Overview}[https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_controller_overview.html] guide. == Download and installation The latest version of Action Pack can be installed with RubyGems: $ gem install actionpack Source code can be downloaded as part of the Rails project on GitHub: * https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/master/actionpack == License Action Pack is released under the MIT license: * https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT == Support API documentation is at: * https://api.rubyonrails.org Bug reports for the Ruby on Rails project can be filed here: * https://github.com/rails/rails/issues Feature requests should be discussed on the rails-core mailing list here: * https://discuss.rubyonrails.org/c/rubyonrails-core
