rails--rails/activesupport/CHANGELOG.md

• Add config/credentials.yml.enc to store production app secrets.

  Allows saving any authentication credentials for third party services directly in repo encrypted with config/master.key or ENV["RAILS_MASTER_KEY"].

  This will eventually replace Rails.application.secrets and the encrypted secrets introduced in Rails 5.1.

  DHH, Kasper Timm Hansen

• Add ActiveSupport::EncryptedFile and ActiveSupport::EncryptedConfiguration.

  Allows for stashing encrypted files or configuration directly in repo by encrypting it with a key.

  Backs the new credentials setup above, but can also be used independently.

  DHH, Kasper Timm Hansen

• Module#delegate_missing_to now raises DelegationError if target is nil, similar to Module#delegate.

  Anton Khamets

• Update String#camelize to provide feedback when wrong option is passed

  String#camelize was returning nil without any feedback when an invalid option was passed as a parameter.

  Previously:

  'one_two'.camelize(true)
  => nil
  

  Now:

  'one_two'.camelize(true)
  => ArgumentError: Invalid option, use either :upper or :lower.

• Fix modulo operations involving durations

  Rails 5.1 introduced ActiveSupport::Duration::Scalar as a wrapper around numeric values as a way of ensuring a duration was the outcome of an expression. However, the implementation was missing support for modulo operations. This support has now been added and should result in a duration being returned from expressions involving modulo operations.

  Prior to Rails 5.1:

  5.minutes % 2.minutes
  => 60
  

  Now:

  5.minutes % 2.minutes
  => 1 minute
  

  Fixes #29603 and #29743.

• Fix division where a duration is the denominator

  PR #29163 introduced a change in behavior when a duration was the denominator in a calculation - this was incorrect as dividing by a duration should always return a Numeric. The behavior of previous versions of Rails has been restored.

  Fixes #29592.

• Add purpose and expiry support to ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier & ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor.

  For instance, to ensure a message is only usable for one intended purpose:

  token = @verifier.generate("x", purpose: :shipping)
  
  @verifier.verified(token, purpose: :shipping) # => "x"
  @verifier.verified(token)                     # => nil
  

  Or make it expire after a set time:

  @verifier.generate("x", expires_in: 1.month)
  @verifier.generate("y", expires_at: Time.now.end_of_year)
  

  Showcased with ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier, but works the same for ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor's encrypt_and_sign and decrypt_and_verify.

• Make the order of Hash#reverse_merge! consistent with HashWithIndifferentAccess.

  Erol Fornoles

• Add freeze_time helper which freezes time to Time.now in tests.

• Default ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor to use AES 256 GCM encryption.

  On for new Rails 5.2 apps. Upgrading apps can find the config as a new framework default.

• Cache: write_multi

  Rails.cache.write_multi foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux'
  

  Plus faster fetch_multi with stores that implement write_multi_entries. Keys that aren't found may be written to the cache store in one shot instead of separate writes.

  The default implementation simply calls write_entry for each entry. Stores may override if they're capable of one-shot bulk writes, like Redis MSET.

• Add default option to module and class attribute accessors.

  mattr_accessor :settings, default: {}
  

  Works for mattr_reader, mattr_writer, cattr_accessor, cattr_reader, and cattr_writer as well.

  Genadi Samokovarov

• Add Date#prev_occurring and Date#next_occurring to return specified next/previous occurring day of week.

  Shota Iguchi

• Add default option to class_attribute.

  Before:

  class_attribute :settings
  self.settings = {}
  

  Now:

  class_attribute :settings, default: {}

• #singularize and #pluralize now respect uncountables for the specified locale.

• Add ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes to provide a thread-isolated attributes singleton. Primary use case is keeping all the per-request attributes easily available to the whole system.

• Fix implicit coercion calculations with scalars and durations

  Previously, calculations where the scalar is first would be converted to a duration of seconds, but this causes issues with dates being converted to times, e.g:

  Time.zone = "Beijing"           # => Asia/Shanghai
  date = Date.civil(2017, 5, 20)  # => Mon, 20 May 2017
  2 * 1.day                       # => 172800 seconds
  date + 2 * 1.day                # => Mon, 22 May 2017 00:00:00 CST +08:00
  

  Now, the ActiveSupport::Duration::Scalar calculation methods will try to maintain the part structure of the duration where possible, e.g:

  Time.zone = "Beijing"           # => Asia/Shanghai
  date = Date.civil(2017, 5, 20)  # => Mon, 20 May 2017
  2 * 1.day                       # => 2 days
  date + 2 * 1.day                # => Mon, 22 May 2017
  

  Fixes #29160, #28970.

• Add support for versioned cache entries. This enables the cache stores to recycle cache keys, greatly saving on storage in cases with frequent churn. Works together with the separation of #cache_key and #cache_version in Active Record and its use in Action Pack's fragment caching.

  DHH

• Pass gem name and deprecation horizon to deprecation notifications.

  Willem van Bergen

• Add support for :offset and :zone to ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone#change

  Andrew White

• Add support for :offset to Time#change

  Fixes #28723.

  Andrew White

• Add fetch_values for HashWithIndifferentAccess

  The method was originally added to Hash in Ruby 2.3.0.
