rails--rails/activesupport/CHANGELOG.md

• Raise ActiveSupport::EncryptedFile::MissingKeyError when the RAILS_MASTER_KEY environment variable is blank (e.g. "").

  Sunny Ripert

• The from: option is added to ActiveSupport::TestCase#assert_no_changes.

  It permits asserting on the initial value that is expected not to change.

  assert_no_changes -> { Status.all_good? }, from: true do
    post :create, params: { status: { ok: true } }
  end

• Deprecate ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer's incorrect implicit conversion of objects into string.

  Except for a few methods like String#%, objects must implement #to_str to be implicitly converted to a String in string operations. In some circumstances ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer was incorrectly calling the explicit conversion method (#to_s) on them. This behavior is now deprecated.

• Allow nested access to keys on Rails.application.credentials

  Previously only top level keys in credentials.yml.enc could be accessed with method calls. Now any key can.

  For example, given these secrets:

  aws:
     access_key_id: 123
     secret_access_key: 345
  

  Rails.application.credentials.aws.access_key_id will now return the same thing as Rails.application.credentials.aws[:access_key_id]

• Added a faster and more compact ActiveSupport::Cache serialization format.

  It can be enabled with config.active_support.cache_format_version = 7.0 or config.load_defaults 7.0. Regardless of the configuration Active Support 7.0 can read cache entries serialized by Active Support 6.1 which allows to upgrade without invalidating the cache. However Rails 6.1 can't read the new format, so all readers must be upgraded before the new format is enabled.

• Add Enumerable#sole, per ActiveRecord::FinderMethods#sole. Returns the sole item of the enumerable, raising if no items are found, or if more than one is.

  Asherah Connor

• Freeze ActiveSupport::Duration#parts and remove writer methods.

  Durations are meant to be value objects and should not be mutated.

  Andrew White

• Fix ActiveSupport::TimeZone#utc_to_local with fractional seconds.

  When utc_to_local_returns_utc_offset_times is false and the time instance had fractional seconds the new UTC time instance was out by a factor of 1,000,000 as the Time.utc constructor takes a usec value and not a fractional second value.

  Andrew White

• Add expires_at argument to ActiveSupport::Cache write and fetch to set a cache entry TTL as an absolute time.

  Rails.cache.write(key, value, expires_at: Time.now.at_end_of_hour)
  

  Jean Boussier

• Deprecate ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone.name so that from Rails 7.1 it will use the default implementation.

  Andrew White

• Deprecates Rails custom Enumerable#sum and Array#sum in favor of Ruby's native implementation which is considerably faster.

  Ruby requires an initializer for non-numeric type as per examples below:

  %w[foo bar].sum('')
  # instead of %w[foo bar].sum
  
  [[1, 2], [3, 4, 5]].sum([])
  #instead of [[1, 2], [3, 4, 5]].sum

• Tests parallelization is now disabled when running individual files to prevent the setup overhead.

  It can still be enforced if the environment variable PARALLEL_WORKERS is present and set to a value greater than 1.

  Ricardo Díaz

• Fix proxying keyword arguments in ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes.

  Marcin Kołodziej

• Add Enumerable#maximum and Enumerable#minimum to easily calculate the maximum or minimum from extracted elements of an enumerable.

  payments = [Payment.new(5), Payment.new(15), Payment.new(10)]
  
  payments.minimum(:price) # => 5
  payments.maximum(:price) # => 15
  

  This also allows passing enumerables to fresh_when and stale? in Action Controller. See PR #41404 for an example.

  Ayrton De Craene

• ActiveSupport::Cache::MemCacheStore now accepts an explicit nil for its addresses argument.

  config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store, nil
  
  # is now equivalent to
  
  config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store
  
  # and is also equivalent to
  
  config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store, ENV["MEMCACHE_SERVERS"] || "localhost:11211"
  
  # which is the fallback behavior of Dalli
  

  This helps those migrating from :dalli_store, where an explicit nil was permitted.

  Michael Overmeyer

• Add Enumerable#in_order_of to put an Enumerable in a certain order by a key.

  DHH

• ActiveSupport::Inflector.camelize behaves expected when provided a symbol :upper or :lower argument. Matches String#camelize behavior.

  Alex Ghiculescu

• Raises an ArgumentError when the first argument of ActiveSupport::Notification.subscribe is invalid.

  Vipul A M

• HashWithIndifferentAccess#deep_transform_keys now returns a HashWithIndifferentAccess instead of a Hash.

  Nathaniel Woodthorpe

• consume dalli’s cache_nils configuration as ActiveSupport::Cache's skip_nil when using MemCacheStore.

  Ritikesh G

• add RedisCacheStore#stats method similar to MemCacheStore#stats. Calls redis#info internally.
