rails--rails/activemodel/CHANGELOG.md

Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased)

• Changed inclusion and exclusion validators to accept a symbol for :in option.

  This allows to use dynamic inclusion/exclusion values using methods, besides the current lambda/proc support.

  Gabriel Sobrinho

• AM::Validation#validates ability to pass custom exception to :strict option.

  Bogdan Gusiev

• Changed ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml::Serializer#add_associations to by default propagate :skip_types, :dasherize, :camelize keys to included associations. It can be overriden on each association by explicitly specifying the option on one or more associations

  Anthony Alberto

• Changed `AM::Serializers::JSON.include_root_in_json' default value to false. Now, AM Serializers and AR objects have the same default behaviour. Fixes #6578.

  class User < ActiveRecord::Base; end
  
  class Person
    include ActiveModel::Model
    include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods
    include ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON
  
    attr_accessor :name, :age
  
    def attributes
      instance_values
    end
  end
  
  user.as_json
  => {"id"=>1, "name"=>"Konata Izumi", "age"=>16, "awesome"=>true}
  # root is not included
  
  person.as_json
  => {"name"=>"Francesco", "age"=>22}
  # root is not included
  

  Francesco Rodriguez

• Passing false hash values to validates will no longer enable the corresponding validators Steve Purcell

• ConfirmationValidator error messages will attach to :#{attribute}_confirmation instead of attribute Brian Cardarella

• Added ActiveModel::Model, a mixin to make Ruby objects work with AP out of box Guillermo Iguaran

• AM::Errors#to_json: support :full_messages parameter Bogdan Gusiev

• Trim down Active Model API by removing valid? and errors.full_messages José Valim

• When ^ or $ are used in the regular expression provided to validates_format_of and the :multiline option is not set to true, an exception will be raised. This is to prevent security vulnerabilities when using validates_format_of. The problem is described in detail in the Rails security guide.
