• Enable connection pooling by default for MemCacheStore and RedisCacheStore.

  If you want to disable connection pooling, set :pool option to false when configuring the cache store:

  config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store, "cache.example.com", pool: false
  

  fatkodima

• Add force: support to ActiveSupport::Cache::Store#fetch_multi.

  fatkodima

• Deprecated :pool_size and :pool_timeout options for configuring connection pooling in cache stores.

  Use pool: true to enable pooling with default settings:

  config.cache_store = :redis_cache_store, pool: true
  

  Or pass individual options via :pool option:

  config.cache_store = :redis_cache_store, pool: { size: 10, timeout: 2 }
  

  fatkodima

• Allow #increment and #decrement methods of ActiveSupport::Cache::Store subclasses to set new values.

  Previously incrementing or decrementing an unset key would fail and return nil. A default will now be assumed and the key will be created.

  Andrej Blagojević, Eugene Kenny

• Add skip_nil: support to RedisCacheStore

  Joey Paris

• ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore#write(name, val, unless_exist:true) now correctly writes expired keys.

  Alan Savage

• ActiveSupport::ErrorReporter now accepts and forward a source: parameter.

  This allow libraries to signal the origin of the errors, and reporters to easily ignore some sources.

  Jean Boussier

• Fix and add protections for XSS in ActionView::Helpers and ERB::Util.

  Add the method ERB::Util.xml_name_escape to escape dangerous characters in names of tags and names of attributes, following the specification of XML.

  Álvaro Martín Fraguas

• Respect ActiveSupport::Logger.new's :formatter keyword argument

  The stdlib Logger::new allows passing a :formatter keyword argument to set the logger's formatter. Previously ActiveSupport::Logger.new ignored that argument by always setting the formatter to an instance of ActiveSupport::Logger::SimpleFormatter.

• Deprecate preserving the pre-Ruby 2.4 behavior of to_time

  With Ruby 2.4+ the default for +to_time+ changed from converting to the local system time to preserving the offset of the receiver. At the time Rails supported older versions of Ruby so a compatibility layer was added to assist in the migration process. From Rails 5.0 new applications have defaulted to the Ruby 2.4+ behavior and since Rails 7.0 now only supports Ruby 2.7+ this compatibility layer can be safely removed.

  To minimize any noise generated the deprecation warning only appears when the setting is configured to false as that is the only scenario where the removal of the compatibility layer has any effect.

• Pathname.blank? only returns true for Pathname.new("")

  Previously it would end up calling Pathname#empty? which returned true if the path existed and was an empty directory or file.

  That behavior was unlikely to be expected.

  Jean Boussier

• Deprecate Notification::Event's #children and #parent_of?

• Change default serialization format of MessageEncryptor from Marshal to JSON for Rails 7.1.

  Existing apps are provided with an upgrade path to migrate to JSON as described in guides/source/upgrading_ruby_on_rails.md

  Zack Deveau and Martin Gingras

• Add ActiveSupport::TestCase#stub_const to stub a constant for the duration of a yield.

  DHH

• Fix ActiveSupport::EncryptedConfiguration to be compatible with Psych 4

  Stephen Sugden

• Improve File.atomic_write error handling

• Fix Class#descendants and DescendantsTracker#descendants compatibility with Ruby 3.1.

  The native Class#descendants was reverted prior to Ruby 3.1 release, but Class#subclasses was kept, breaking the feature detection.
