• Purpose metadata for signed/encrypted cookies.

  Rails can now thwart attacks that attempt to copy signed/encrypted value of a cookie and use it as the value of another cookie.

  It does so by stashing the cookie-name in the purpose field which is then signed/encrypted along with the cookie value. Then, on a server-side read, we verify the cookie-names and discard any attacked cookies.

  Enable action_dispatch.use_cookies_with_metadata to use this feature, which writes cookies with the new purpose and expiry metadata embedded.

• Raises ActionController::RespondToMismatchError with confliciting respond_to invocations.

  respond_to can match multiple types and lead to undefined behavior when multiple invocations are made and the types do not match:

  respond_to do |outer_type|
    outer_type.js do
      respond_to do |inner_type|
        inner_type.html { render body: "HTML" }
      end
    end
  end

• ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile now delegates to_path to its tempfile.

  This allows uploaded file objects to be passed directly to File.read without raising a TypeError:

  uploaded_file = ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile.new(tempfile: tmp_file)
  File.read(uploaded_file)

• Pass along arguments to underlying get method in follow_redirect!

  Now all arguments passed to follow_redirect! are passed to the underlying get method. This for example allows to set custom headers for the redirection request to the server.

  follow_redirect!(params: { foo: :bar })

• Introduce a new error page to when the implicit render page is accessed in the browser.

  Now instead of showing an error page that with exception and backtraces we now show only one informative page.

• Introduce ActionDispatch::DebugExceptions.register_interceptor

  Exception aware plugin authors can use the newly introduced .register_interceptor method to get the processed exception, instead of monkey patching DebugExceptions.

  ActionDispatch::DebugExceptions.register_interceptor do |request, exception|
    HypoteticalPlugin.capture_exception(request, exception)
  end
