rails--rails/activesupport/CHANGELOG.md

• Removed ActiveSupport::Concurrency::Latch, superseded by Concurrent::CountDownLatch from the concurrent-ruby gem.

  Jerry D'Antonio

• Fix not calling #default on HashWithIndifferentAccess#to_hash when only default_proc is set, which could raise.

  Simon Eskildsen

• Fix setting default_proc on HashWithIndifferentAccess#dup

  Simon Eskildsen

• Fix a range of values for parameters of the Time#change

  Nikolay Kondratyev

• Add Enumerable#pluck to get the same values from arrays as from ActiveRecord associations.

  Fixes #20339.

  Kevin Deisz

• Add a bang version to ActiveSupport::OrderedOptions get methods which will raise an KeyError if the value is .blank?

  Before:

  if (slack_url = Rails.application.secrets.slack_url).present?
    # Do something worthwhile
  else
    # Raise as important secret password is not specified
  end
  

  After:

  slack_url = Rails.application.secrets.slack_url!
  

  Aditya Sanghi, Gaurish Sharma

• Remove deprecated Class#superclass_delegating_accessor. Use Class#class_attribute instead.

  Akshay Vishnoi

• Patch Delegator to work with #try.

  Fixes #5790.

  Nate Smith

• Add Integer#positive? and Integer#negative? query methods in the vein of Fixnum#zero?.

  This makes it nicer to do things like bunch_of_numbers.select(&:positive?).

  DHH

• Encoding ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone to YAML now preserves the timezone information.

  Fixes #9183.

  Andrew White

• Added ActiveSupport::TimeZone#strptime to allow parsing times as if from a given timezone.

  Paul A Jungwirth

• ActiveSupport::Callbacks#skip_callback now raises an ArgumentError if an unrecognized callback is removed.

  Iain Beeston

• Added ActiveSupport::ArrayInquirer and Array#inquiry.

  Wrapping an array in an ArrayInquirer gives a friendlier way to check its contents:

  variants = ActiveSupport::ArrayInquirer.new([:phone, :tablet])
  
  variants.phone?    # => true
  variants.tablet?   # => true
  variants.desktop?  # => false
  
  variants.any?(:phone, :tablet)   # => true
  variants.any?(:phone, :desktop)  # => true
  variants.any?(:desktop, :watch)  # => false
  

  Array#inquiry is a shortcut for wrapping the receiving array in an ArrayInquirer.

  George Claghorn

• Deprecate alias_method_chain in favour of Module#prepend introduced in Ruby 2.0.

  Kir Shatrov

• Added #without on Enumerable and Array to return a copy of an enumerable without the specified elements.

  Todd Bealmear

• Fixed a problem where String#truncate_words would get stuck with a complex string.

  Henrik Nygren

• Fixed a roundtrip problem with AS::SafeBuffer where primitive-like strings will be dumped as primitives:

  Before:

  YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("Hello").to_yaml  # => "Hello"
  YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("true").to_yaml   # => true
  YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("false").to_yaml  # => false
  YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("1").to_yaml      # => 1
  YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("1.1").to_yaml    # => 1.1
  

  After:

  YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("Hello").to_yaml  # => "Hello"
  YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("true").to_yaml   # => "true"
  YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("false").to_yaml  # => "false"
  YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("1").to_yaml      # => "1"
  YAML.load ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer.new("1.1").to_yaml    # => "1.1"
  

  Godfrey Chan

• Enable number_to_percentage to keep the number's precision by allowing :precision to be nil.

  Jack Xu

• config_accessor became a private method, as with Ruby's attr_accessor.

  Akira Matsuda

• AS::Testing::TimeHelpers#travel_to now changes DateTime.now as well as Time.now and Date.today.

  Yuki Nishijima

• Add file_fixture to ActiveSupport::TestCase. It provides a simple mechanism to access sample files in your test cases.

  By default file fixtures are stored in test/fixtures/files. This can be configured per test-case using the file_fixture_path class attribute.

  Yves Senn

• Return value of yielded block in File.atomic_write.

  Ian Ker-Seymer

• Duplicate frozen array when assigning it to a HashWithIndifferentAccess so that it doesn't raise a RuntimeError when calling map! on it in convert_value.

  Fixes #18550.

  Aditya Kapoor

• Add missing time zone definitions for Russian Federation and sync them with zone.tab file from tzdata version 2014j (latest).

  Andrey Novikov

• Add SecureRandom.base58 for generation of random base58 strings.

  Matthew Draper, Guillermo Iguaran

• Add #prev_day and #next_day counterparts to #yesterday and #tomorrow for Date, Time, and DateTime.

  George Claghorn

• Add same_time option to #next_week and #prev_week for Date, Time, and DateTime.

  George Claghorn

• Add #on_weekend?, #next_weekday, #prev_weekday methods to Date, Time, and DateTime.

  #on_weekend? returns true if the receiving date/time falls on a Saturday or Sunday.

  #next_weekday returns a new date/time representing the next day that does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday.

  #prev_weekday returns a new date/time representing the previous day that does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday.

  George Claghorn

• Change the default test order from :sorted to :random.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated ActiveSupport::JSON::Encoding::CircularReferenceError.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated methods ActiveSupport::JSON::Encoding.encode_big_decimal_as_string= and ActiveSupport::JSON::Encoding.encode_big_decimal_as_string.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer#prepend.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated methods at Kernel.

  silence_stderr, silence_stream, capture and quietly.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated active_support/core_ext/big_decimal/yaml_conversions file.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated methods ActiveSupport::Cache::Store.instrument and ActiveSupport::Cache::Store.instrument=.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Change the way in which callback chains can be halted.

  The preferred method to halt a callback chain from now on is to explicitly throw(:abort). In the past, returning false in an ActiveSupport callback had the side effect of halting the callback chain. This is not recommended anymore and, depending on the value of Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false, will either not work at all or display a deprecation warning.

• Add Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false

  Setting Callbacks::CallbackChain.halt_and_display_warning_on_return_false to true will let an app support the deprecated way of halting callback chains by returning false.

  Setting the value to false will tell the app to ignore any false value returned by callbacks, and only halt the chain upon throw(:abort).

  The value can also be set with the Rails configuration option config.active_support.halt_callback_chains_on_return_false.

  When the configuration option is missing, its value is true, so older apps ported to Rails 5.0 will not break (but display a deprecation warning). For new Rails 5.0 apps, its value is set to false in an initializer, so these apps will support the new behavior by default.

  claudiob

• Changes arguments and default value of CallbackChain's :terminator option

  Chains of callbacks defined without an explicit :terminator option will now be halted as soon as a before_ callback throws :abort.

  Chains of callbacks defined with a :terminator option will maintain their existing behavior of halting as soon as a before_ callback matches the terminator's expectation.

  claudiob

• Deprecate MissingSourceFile in favor of LoadError.

  MissingSourceFile was just an alias to LoadError and was not being raised inside the framework.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Add support for error dispatcher classes in ActiveSupport::Rescuable. Now it acts closer to Ruby's rescue.

  Example:

  class BaseController < ApplicationController
    module ErrorDispatcher
      def self.===(other)
        Exception === other && other.respond_to?(:status)
      end
    end
  
    rescue_from ErrorDispatcher do |error|
      render status: error.status, json: { error: error.to_s }
    end
  end
  

  Genadi Samokovarov

• Add #verified and #valid_message? methods to ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier

  Previously, the only way to decode a message with ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier was to use #verify, which would raise an exception on invalid messages. Now #verified can also be used, which returns nil on messages that cannot be decoded.

  Previously, there was no way to check if a message's format was valid without attempting to decode it. #valid_message? is a boolean convenience method that checks whether the message is valid without actually decoding it.
