  # Touches `last_discussed_at`.
  Topic.reset_counters(18, :messages, touch: :last_discussed_at)

  Topic.update_counters(18, messages_count: 5, touch: %i( updated_at last_discussed_at ))
  

  Fixes #26724.

  All the deprecations on those methods were removed.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated name argument from #tables.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated support to passing a column to #quote.

  Rafael Mendonça França

  Ryuta Kamizono

• Emulate db trigger behaviour for after_commit :destroy, :update.

  Race conditions can occur when an ActiveRecord is destroyed twice or destroyed and updated. The callbacks should only be triggered once, similar to a SQL database trigger.

  Stefan Budeanu

• Moved DecimalWithoutScale, Text, and UnsignedInteger from Active Model to Active Record.

  Iain Beeston

• Fix write_attribute method to check whether an attribute is aliased or not, and use the aliased attribute name if needed.

  Prathamesh Sonpatki

• Fix read_attribute method to check whether an attribute is aliased or not, and use the aliased attribute name if needed.

  Fixes #26417.

  Prathamesh Sonpatki

• PostgreSQL & MySQL: Use big integer as primary key type for new tables.

  Jon McCartie, Pavel Pravosud

• Change the type argument of ActiveRecord::Base#attribute to be optional. The default is now ActiveRecord::Type::Value.new, which provides no type casting behavior.

  Sean Griffin

• Don't treat unsigned integers with zerofill as signed.

  Fixes #27125.

  Ryuta Kamizono

• Fix the uniqueness validation scope with a polymorphic association.

  Sergey Alekseev

• Raise ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound from collection *_ids setters for unknown IDs with a better error message.

  Changes the collection *_ids setters to cast provided IDs the data type of the primary key set in the association, not the model primary key.

  Dominic Cleal

• For PostgreSQL >= 9.4 use pgcrypto's gen_random_uuid() instead of uuid-ossp's UUID generation function.

  Yuji Yaginuma, Yaw Boakye

• Introduce Model#reload_<association> to bring back the behavior of Article.category(true) where category is a singular association.

  The force reloading of the association reader was deprecated in #20888. Unfortunately the suggested alternative of article.reload.category does not expose the same behavior.

  This patch adds a reader method with the prefix reload_ for singular associations. This method has the same semantics as passing true to the association reader used to have.

  Yves Senn

• Make sure eager loading ActiveRecord::Associations also loads constants defined in ActiveRecord::Associations::Preloader.

  Yves Senn

• Allow ActionController::Parameters-like objects to be passed as values for Postgres HStore columns.

  Fixes #26904.

  Jon Moss

• Added stat method to ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionPool.

  Example:

  ActiveRecord::Base.connection_pool.stat # =>
  { size: 15, connections: 1, busy: 1, dead: 0, idle: 0, waiting: 0, checkout_timeout: 5 }
  

  Pavel Evstigneev

• Avoid unscope(:order) when limit_value is presented for count and exists?.

  If limit_value is presented, records fetching order is very important for performance. We should not unscope the order in the case.

  Ryuta Kamizono

• Fix an Active Record DateTime field NoMethodError caused by incomplete datetime.

  Fixes #24195.

  Sen Zhang

• Allow slice to take an array of methods(without the need for splatting).

  Cohen Carlisle

• Improved partial writes with HABTM and has many through associations to fire database query only if relation has been changed.

  Fixes #19663.

  Mehmet Emin İNAÇ

• Deprecate passing arguments and block at the same time to ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#select.

  Prathamesh Sonpatki

• Optimistic locking: Added ability to update locking_column value. Ignore optimistic locking if trying to update with new locking_column value.

  bogdanvlviv

• Fixed: Optimistic locking does not work well with null in the database.

  Fixes #26024.

  bogdanvlviv

• Fixed support for case insensitive comparisons of text columns in PostgreSQL.

  Edho Arief

• Serialize JSON attribute value nil as SQL NULL, not JSON null.

  Trung Duc Tran

• Return true from update_attribute when the value of the attribute to be updated is unchanged.

  Fixes #26593.

  Prathamesh Sonpatki

• Always store errors details information with symbols.

  When the association is autosaved we were storing the details with string keys. This was creating inconsistency with other details that are added using the Errors#add method. It was also inconsistent with the Errors#messages storage.

  To fix this inconsistency we are always storing with symbols. This will cause a small breaking change because in those cases the details could be accessed as strings keys but now it can not.

  Fix #26499.

  Rafael Mendonça França, Marcus Vieira

• Calling touch on a model using optimistic locking will now leave the model in a non-dirty state with no attribute changes.

  Fixes #26496.

  Jakob Skjerning

• Using a mysql2 connection after it fails to reconnect will now have an error message saying the connection is closed rather than an undefined method error message.

  Dylan Thacker-Smith

• PostgreSQL array columns will now respect the encoding of strings contained in the array.

  Fixes #26326.

  Sean Griffin

• Inverse association instances will now be set before after_find or after_initialize callbacks are run.

  Fixes #26320.

  Sean Griffin

• Remove unnecessarily association load when a belongs_to association has already been loaded then the foreign key is changed directly and the record saved.

  James Coleman

• Remove standardized column types/arguments spaces in schema dump.

  Tim Petricola

• Avoid loading records from database when they are already loaded using the pluck method on a collection.

  Fixes #25921.

  Ryuta Kamizono

• Remove text default treated as an empty string in non-strict mode for consistency with other types.

  Strict mode controls how MySQL handles invalid or missing values in data-change statements such as INSERT or UPDATE. If strict mode is not in effect, MySQL inserts adjusted values for invalid or missing values and produces warnings.

  def test_mysql_not_null_defaults_non_strict
    using_strict(false) do
      with_mysql_not_null_table do |klass|
        record = klass.new
        assert_nil record.non_null_integer
        assert_nil record.non_null_string
        assert_nil record.non_null_text
        assert_nil record.non_null_blob
  
        record.save!
        record.reload
  
        assert_equal 0,  record.non_null_integer
        assert_equal "", record.non_null_string
        assert_equal "", record.non_null_text
        assert_equal "", record.non_null_blob
      end
    end
  end

  Ryuta Kamizono

• Sqlite3 migrations to add a column to an existing table can now be successfully rolled back when the column was given and invalid column type.

  Fixes #26087.

  Travis O'Neill

• Deprecate sanitize_conditions. Use sanitize_sql instead.

  Ryuta Kamizono

• Doing count on relations that contain LEFT OUTER JOIN Arel node no longer force a DISTINCT. This solves issues when using count after a left_joins.

  Maxime Handfield Lapointe

• RecordNotFound raised by association.find exposes id, primary_key and model methods to be consistent with RecordNotFound raised by Record.find.

  Michel Pigassou

• Hashes can once again be passed to setters of composed_of, if all of the mapping methods are methods implemented on Hash.

  Fixes #25978.

  Sean Griffin

• Fix the SELECT statement in #table_comment for MySQL.

  Takeshi Akima

• Virtual attributes will no longer raise when read on models loaded from the database.

  Sean Griffin

• Support calling the method merge in scope's lambda.

  Yasuhiro Sugino

• Fixes multi-parameter attributes conversion with invalid params.

  Hiroyuki Ishii

• Add newline between each migration in structure.sql.

  Keeps schema migration inserts as a single commit, but allows for easier git diffing.

  Fixes #25504.

  Grey Baker, Norberto Lopes

• The flag error_on_ignored_order_or_limit has been deprecated in favor of the current error_on_ignored_order.

  Xavier Noria

• Batch processing methods support limit:

  Post.limit(10_000).find_each do |post|
    # ...
  end
  

  It also works in find_in_batches and in_batches.

  Xavier Noria

• Using group with an attribute that has a custom type will properly cast the hash keys after calling a calculation method like count.

  Fixes #25595.

  Sean Griffin

• Fix the generated #to_param method to use omission: '' so that the resulting output is actually up to 20 characters, not effectively 17 to leave room for the default "...". Also call #parameterize before #truncate and make the separator: /-/ to maximize the information included in the output.

  Fixes #23635.

  Rob Biedenharn

• Ensure concurrent invocations of the connection reaper cannot allocate the same connection to two threads.

  Fixes #25585.

  Matthew Draper

• Inspecting an object with an associated array of over 10 elements no longer truncates the array, preventing inspect from looping infinitely in some cases.

  Kevin McPhillips

• Removed the unused methods ActiveRecord::Base.connection_id and ActiveRecord::Base.connection_id=.

  Sean Griffin

• Ensure hashes can be assigned to attributes created using composed_of.

  Fixes #25210.

  Sean Griffin

• Fix logging edge case where if an attribute was of the binary type and was provided as a Hash.

  Jon Moss

• Handle JSON deserialization correctly if the column default from database adapter returns '' instead of nil.

  Johannes Opper

• Introduce ActiveRecord::TransactionSerializationError for catching transaction serialization failures or deadlocks.

  Erol Fornoles

• PostgreSQL: Fix db:structure:load silent failure on SQL error.

  The command line flag -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 should be used when invoking psql to make sure errors are not suppressed.

  Example:

  psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -q -f awesome-file.sql my-app-db
  

  Fixes #23818.
