rails--rails/railties/CHANGELOG.md

Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased)

• config.assets.enabled is now true by default. If you're upgrading from a Rails 3.x app that does not use the asset pipeline, you'll be required to add config.assets.enabled = false to your application.rb. If you don't want the asset pipeline on a new app use --skip-sprockets

  DHH

• config.threadsafe! is deprecated in favor of config.eager_load which provides a more fine grained control on what is eager loaded José Valim

• The migration generator will now produce AddXXXToYYY/RemoveXXXFromYYY migrations with references statements, for instance

  will generate the migration with:

  add_reference :products, :user, index: true
  add_reference :products, :supplier, polymorphic: true, index: true
  

  Aleksey Magusev

• Allow scaffold/model/migration generators to accept a polymorphic modifier for references/belongs_to, for instance

  rails g model Product supplier:references{polymorphic}
  

  will generate the model with belongs_to :supplier, polymorphic: true association and appropriate migration.

  Example:

  # it can be added to config/application.rb
  console do
    # this block is called only when running console,
    # so we can safely require pry here
    require "pry"
    config.console = Pry
  end
  

• Add convenience hide! method to Rails generators to hide current generator namespace from showing when running rails generate. Carlos Antonio da Silva

• Rails::Plugin has gone. Instead of adding plugins to vendor/plugins use gems or bundler with path or git dependencies. Santiago Pastorino
