Raw Blame History

Rails 4.0.0 (unreleased)

Fix explicit names on multiple file fields. If a file field tag has the multiple option, it is turned into an array field (appending []), but if an explicit name is passed to file_field the [] is not appended. Fixes #9830.

Ryan McGeary
Add block support for the mail_to helper, similar to the link_to helper.

Sam Pohlenz
Automatically configure cookie-based sessions to be encrypted if secret_key_base is set, falling back to signed if only secret_token is set. Automatically upgrade existing signed cookie-based sessions from Rails 3.x to be encrypted if both secret_key_base and secret_token are set, or signed with the new key generator if only secret_token is set. This leaves only the config.session_store :cookie_store option and removes the two new options introduced in 4.0.0.beta1: encrypted_cookie_store and upgrade_signature_to_encryption_cookie_store.

Trevor Turk
Ensure consistent fallback to the default layout lookup for layouts set using symbols or procs that return nil.

All of the following layouts will result in the default layout lookup:
```
layout nil

layout proc { nil }

layout :returns_nil
def returns_nil
  nil
end
```
Previously symbols and procs which returned nil resulted in no layout which differed from the layout nil behavior. To get the "no layout" behavior just return false instead of nil for layout.

Chris Nicola
Create UpgradeLegacySignedCookieJar to transparently upgrade existing signed cookies generated by Rails 3.x to avoid invalidating them when upgrading to Rails 4.x.

Trevor Turk + Neeraj Singh
Raise an ArgumentError when a clashing named route is defined.

Trevor Turk
Allow default url options to accept host with protocol such as http://
```
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: "http://mydomain.com" }
```
Richard Schneeman
Ensure that digest authentication responds with a 401 status when a basic header is received.

Brad Dunbar
Include I18n locale fallbacks in view lookup. Fixes #3512.

Juan Barreneche

Integration and functional tests allow headers and rack env variables to be passed when performing requests. Fixes #6513.

Example:

# integration test
get "/success", {}, "HTTP_REFERER" => "http://test.com/",
                    "Accepts" => "text/plain, text/html"

# functional test
@request.headers["Accepts"] = "text/plain, text/html"

Yves Senn

Http::Headers respects headers that are not prefixed with HTTP_

Yves Senn

Fix incorrectly appended square brackets to a multiple select box if an explicit name has been given and it already ends with "[]"

Before:

select(:category, [], {}, multiple: true, name: "post[category][]")
# => <select name="post[category][][]" ...>

After:

select(:category, [], {}, multiple: true, name: "post[category][]")
# => <select name="post[category][]" ...>

Olek Janiszewski

Fixed regression when using assert_template to verify files sent using render file: 'README.md'. Fixes #9464.

Justin Coyne
Fixed ActionView::Helpers::CaptureHelper#content_for regression when trying to use it in a boolean statement. Fixes #9360.

Nikolay Shebanov

format: true does not override existing format constraints. Fixes #9466.

Example:

# This will force the .json extension.
get '/json_only', to: ok, format: true, constraints: { format: /json/ }

Yves Senn

Skip valid encoding checks for non-String parameters that come from the matched route's defaults. Fixes #9435.

Example:
```
root to: 'main#posts', page: 1
```
Yves Senn
Don't verify Regexp requirements for non-Regexp :constraints. Fixes #9432.

Example:
```
get '/photos.:format' => 'feeds#photos', constraints: {format: 'xml'}
```
Yves Senn
Make ActionDispatch::Journey::Path::Pattern#new raise more meaningful exception message.

Thierry Zires

Rails 4.0.0.beta1 (February 25, 2013)

Fix respond_to not using formats that have no block if all is present. Michael Grosser
New applications use an encrypted session store by default.

Santiago Pastorino
Determine the controller#action from only the matched path when using the shorthand syntax. Previously the complete path was used, which led to problems with nesting (scopes and namespaces). Fixes #7554.

Example:
```
# This will route to questions#new.
scope ':locale' do
  get 'questions/new'
end
```
Yves Senn
Remove support for parsing XML parameters from request. If you still want to parse XML parameters, please install `actionpack-xml_parser' gem.

Prem Sichanugrist
Remove support for parsing YAML parameters from request.

Aaron Patterson
Add a message when you have no routes defined to both rake routes and GET "/rails/info/routes" that lets you know you have none defined and links to the Rails guide on the topic.

Steve Klabnik
Change image_alt method to replace underscores/hyphens to spaces in filenames.

Previously, underscored filenames became alt="A_long_file_name_with_underscores" in HTML, which is poor for accessibility. For instance, Apple's VoiceOver Utility pronounces each underscore. A_long_file_name thus would be read as A underscore long underscore file underscore name. Now underscored or hyphenated filenames (both of which are very popular naming conventions) read more naturally in screen readers by converting both hyphens and underscores to spaces.

Before:
```
image_tag('underscored_file_name.png')
# => <img alt="Underscored_file_name" src="/assets/underscored_file_name.png" />
```
After:
```
image_tag('underscored_file_name.png')
# => <img alt="Underscored file name" src="/assets/underscored_file_name.png" />
```
Nick Cox
We don't support Ruby constant notation in the :controller option for route definitions. So, this raises an ArgumentError now:
```
resources :posts, controller: "Admin::Posts" # WRONG
```
Use path notation instead:
```
resources :posts, controller: "admin/posts" # RIGHT
```
Yves Senn

assert_template can be used to verify the locals of partials, which live inside a directory.

# Prefixed partials inside directories worked and still work.
assert_template partial: 'directory/_partial', locals: {name: 'John'}

# This did not work but does now.
assert_template partial: 'directory/partial', locals: {name: 'John'}

Fixes #8516.

Yves Senn

Fix content_tag_for with array HTML option. It would embed array as string instead of joining it like content_tag does:

content_tag(:td, class: ["foo", "bar"]){}
# => <td class="foo bar"></td>

Before:

content_tag_for(:td, item, class: ["foo", "bar"])
# => <td class="item [&quot;foo&quot;, &quot;bar&quot;]" id="item_1"></td>

After:

content_tag_for(:td, item, class: ["foo", "bar"])
# => <td class="item foo bar" id="item_1"></td>

Semyon Perepelitsa

Remove BestStandardsSupport middleware, !DOCTYPE html already triggers standards mode per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676915(v=vs.85).aspx and ChromeFrame header has been moved to config.action_dispatch.default_headers

Guillermo Iguaran
Fix CSRF protection and current_url? helper to work with HEAD requests now that ActionDispatch::Head has been removed in favor of Rack::Head.

Michiel Sikkes
Change asset_path to not include SCRIPT_NAME when it's used from a mounted engine. Fixes #8119.

Piotr Sarnacki
Add JavaScript based routing path matcher to /rails/info/routes. Routes can now be filtered by whether or not they match a path.

Richard Schneeman
Change the behavior of route defaults so that explicit defaults are no longer required where the key is not part of the path. For example:
```
resources :posts, bucket_type: 'posts'
```
will be required whenever constructing the url from a hash such as a functional test or using url_for directly. However using the explicit form alters the behavior so it's not required:
```
resources :projects, defaults: { bucket_type: 'projects' }
```
This changes existing behavior slightly in that any routes which only differ in their defaults will match the first route rather than the closest match.

Andrew White
Add support for routing constraints other than Regexp and String. For example this now allows the use of arrays like this:
```
get '/foo/:action', to: 'foo', constraints: { subdomain: %w[www admin] }
```
or constraints where the request method returns an Fixnum like this:
```
get '/foo', to: 'foo#index', constraints: { port: 8080 }
```
Note that this only applies to constraints on the request - path constraints still need to be specified as Regexps as the various constraints are compiled into a single Regexp.

Andrew White
Fix a bug in integration tests where setting the port via a url passed to the process method was ignored when constructing the request environment.

Andrew White
Allow :selected to be set on date_select tag helper.

Colin Burn-Murdoch
Fixed JSON params parsing regression for non-object JSON content.

Dylan Smith
Extract ActionDispatch::PerformanceTest into https://github.com/rails/rails-perftest You can add the gem to your Gemfile to keep using performance tests.
```
gem 'rails-perftest'
```
Yves Senn
Added view_cache_dependency API for declaring dependencies that affect cache digest computation.

Jamis Buck
image_submit_tag will set alt attribute from image source if not specified.

Nihad Abbasov
Do not generate local variables for partials without object or collection. Previously rendering a partial without giving :object or :collection would generate a local variable with the partial name by default.

Carlos Antonio da Silva
Return the last valid, non-private IP address from the X-Forwarded-For, Client-IP and Remote-Addr headers, in that order. Document the rationale for that decision, and describe the options that can be passed to the RemoteIp middleware to change it. Fixes #7979.

André Arko, Steve Klabnik, Alexey Gaziev

Do not append second slash to root_url when using trailing_slash: true Fixes #8700.

Before:

root_url(trailing_slash: true) # => http://test.host//

After:

root_url(trailing_slash: true) # => http://test.host/

Yves Senn

Allow to toggle dumps on error pages.

Gosha Arinich
Fix a bug in content_tag_for that prevents it from working without a block.

Jasl
Change the stylesheet of exception pages for development mode. Additionally display also the line of code and fragment that raised the exception in all exceptions pages.

Guillermo Iguaran + Jorge Cuadrado
Do not append charset= parameter when head is called with a :content_type option. Fixes #8661.

Yves Senn
Added Mime::NullType class. This allows to use html?, xml?, json?, etc. when the format of the request is unknown, without raising an exception.

Angelo Capilleri
Integrate the Journey gem into Action Dispatch so that the global namespace is not polluted with names that may be used as models.

Andrew White
Extract support for email address obfuscation via :encode, :replace_at, and replace_dot options from the mail_to helper into the actionview-encoded_mail_to gem.

Nick Reed + DHH
Handle :protocol option in stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag

Vasiliy Ermolovich
Clear url helper methods when routes are reloaded. Andrew White
Fix a bug in ActionDispatch::Request#raw_post that caused env['rack.input'] to be read but not rewound.

Matt Venables
Prevent raising EOFError on multipart GET request (IE issue). Adam Stankiewicz

Rename all action callbacks from *_filter to *_action to avoid the misconception that these callbacks are only suited for transforming or halting the response. With the new style, it's more inviting to use them as they were intended, like setting shared ivars for views.

Example:

class PeopleController < ActionController::Base
  before_action :set_person,      except: [:index, :new, :create]
  before_action :ensure_permission, only: [:edit, :update]

  ...

  private
    def set_person
      @person = current_account.people.find(params[:id])
    end

    def ensure_permission
      current_person.can_change?(@person)
    end
end

The old *_filter methods still work with no deprecation notice.

DHH

Add cache_if and cache_unless for conditional fragment caching:

Example:

<%= cache_if condition, project do %>
  <b>All the topics on this project</b>
  <%= render project.topics %>
<% end %>

# and

<%= cache_unless condition, project do %>
  <b>All the topics on this project</b>
  <%= render project.topics %>
<% end %>

Stephen Ausman + Fabrizio Regini + Angelo Capilleri

Add logging filter capability for redirect URLs:
```
config.filter_redirect << 'http://please.hide.it/'
```
Fabrizio Regini
Fixed a bug that ignores constraints on a glob route. This was caused because the constraint regular expression is overwritten when the routes.rb file is processed. Fixes #7924

Maura Fitzgerald
More descriptive error messages when calling render :partial with an invalid :layout argument.

Fixes #8376.
```
render partial: 'partial', layout: true

# results in ActionView::MissingTemplate: Missing partial /true
```
Yves Senn
Sweepers was extracted from Action Controller as rails-observers gem.

Rafael Mendonça França
Add option flag to CacheHelper#cache to manually bypass automatic template digests:
```
<% cache project, skip_digest: true do %>
  ...
<% end %>
```
Drew Ulmer
Do not sort Hash options in grouped_options_for_select. Sergey Kojin
Accept symbols as send_data :disposition value Elia Schito
Add i18n scope to distance_of_time_in_words. Steve Klabnik
assert_template:
- is no more passing with empty string.
- is now validating option keys. It accepts: :layout, :partial, :locals and :count.
Roberto Soares
Allow setting a symbol as path in scope on routes. This is now allowed:
```
scope :api do
  resources :users
end
```
It is also possible to pass multiple symbols to scope to shorten multiple nested scopes:
```
scope :api do
  scope :v1 do
    resources :users
  end
end
```
can be rewritten as:
```
scope :api, :v1 do
  resources :users
end
```
Guillermo Iguaran + Amparo Luna

Fix error when using a non-hash query argument named "params" in url_for.

Before:

url_for(params: "") # => undefined method `reject!' for "":String

After:

url_for(params: "") # => http://www.example.com?params=

tumayun + Carlos Antonio da Silva

Render every partial with a new ActionView::PartialRenderer. This resolves issues when rendering nested partials. Fixes #8197.

Yves Senn
Introduce ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB.escape_whitelist. This is a list of mime types where template text is not html escaped by default. It prevents Jack & Joe from rendering as Jack & Joe for the whitelisted mime types. The default whitelist contains text/plain. Fixes #7976.

Joost Baaij

Fix input name when multiple: true and :index are set.

Before:

check_box("post", "comment_ids", { multiple: true, index: "foo" }, 1)
# => <input name=\"post[foo][comment_ids]\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"0\" /><input id=\"post_foo_comment_ids_1\" name=\"post[foo][comment_ids]\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"1\" />

After:

check_box("post", "comment_ids", { multiple: true, index: "foo" }, 1)
# => <input name=\"post[foo][comment_ids][]\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"0\" /><input id=\"post_foo_comment_ids_1\" name=\"post[foo][comment_ids][]\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"1\" />

Fixes #8108.

Daniel Fox, Grant Hutchins & Trace Wax

date_select helper accepts with_css_classes: true to add css classes similar with type of generated select tags.

Pavel Nikitin
Only non-js/css under app/assets path will be included in default config.assets.precompile.

Josh Peek
Remove support for the RAILS_ASSET_ID environment configuration (no longer needed now that we have the asset pipeline).

Josh Peek
Remove old asset_path configuration (no longer needed now that we have the asset pipeline).

Josh Peek
assert_template can be used to assert on the same template with different locals Fixes #3675.

Yves Senn
Remove old asset tag concatenation (no longer needed now that we have the asset pipeline).

Josh Peek
Accept :remote as symbolic option for link_to helper. Riley Lynch
Warn when the :locals option is passed to assert_template outside of a view test case Fixes #3415.

Yves Senn
The Rack::Cache middleware is now disabled by default. To enable it, set config.action_dispatch.rack_cache = true and add gem rack-cache to your Gemfile.

Guillermo Iguaran
ActionController::Base.page_cache_extension option is deprecated in favour of ActionController::Base.default_static_extension.

Francesco Rodriguez
Action and Page caching has been extracted from Action Dispatch as actionpack-action_caching and actionpack-page_caching gems. Please read the README.md file on both gems for the usage.

Francesco Rodriguez
Failsafe exception returns text/plain. Steve Klabnik
Rename internal variables on ActionController::TemplateAssertions to prevent naming collisions. @partials, @templates and @layouts are now prefixed with an underscore. Fixes #7459.

Yves Senn
resource and resources don't modify the passed options hash. Fixes #7777.

Yves Senn

Precompiled assets include aliases from foo.js to foo/index.js and vice versa.

# Precompiles phone-<digest>.css and aliases phone/index.css to phone.css.
config.assets.precompile = [ 'phone.css' ]

# Precompiles phone/index-<digest>.css and aliases phone.css to phone/index.css.
config.assets.precompile = [ 'phone/index.css' ]

# Both of these work with either precompile thanks to their aliases.
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'phone', media: 'all' %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'phone/index', media: 'all' %>

Jeremy Kemper

assert_template is no more passing with what ever string that matches with the template name.

Before when we have a template /layout/hello.html.erb, assert_template was passing with any string that matches. This behavior allowed false positive like:
```
assert_template "layout"
assert_template "out/hello"
```
Now it only passes with:
```
assert_template "layout/hello"
assert_template "hello"
```
Fixes #3849.

Hugolnx
image_tag will set the same width and height for image if numerical value passed to size option.

Nihad Abbasov
Deprecate Mime::Type#verify_request? and Mime::Type.browser_generated_types, since they are no longer used inside of Rails, they will be removed in Rails 4.1.

Michael Grosser
ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile now delegates close to its tempfile. Sergio Gil
Add ActionController::StrongParameters, this module converts params hash into an instance of ActionController::Parameters that allows whitelisting of permitted parameters. Non-permitted parameters are forbidden to be used in Active Model by default For more details check the documentation of the module or the strong_parameters gem

DHH + Guillermo Iguaran
Remove Integration between attr_accessible/attr_protected and ActionController::ParamsWrapper. ParamWrapper now wraps all the parameters returned by the class method attribute_names.

Guillermo Iguaran
Log now displays the correct status code when an exception is raised. Fixes #7646.

Yves Senn
Allow pass couple extensions to ActionView::Template.register_template_handler call.

Tima Maslyuchenko
Sprockets integration has been extracted from Action Pack to the sprockets-rails gem. rails gem is depending on sprockets-rails by default.

Guillermo Iguaran
ActionDispatch::Session::MemCacheStore now uses dalli instead of the deprecated memcache-client gem.

Arun Agrawal + Guillermo Iguaran
Support multiple etags in If-None-Match header. Travis Warlick
Allow to configure how unverified request will be handled using :with option in protect_from_forgery method.

Valid unverified request handling methods are:
- :exception - Raises ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken exception.
- :reset_session - Resets the session.
- :null_session - Provides an empty session during request but doesn't reset it completely. Used as default if :with option is not specified.
New applications are generated with:
```
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
```
Sergey Nartimov
Add .ruby template handler, this handler simply allows arbitrary Ruby code as a template. Guillermo Iguaran

Add separator option for ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper#excerpt:

excerpt('This is a very beautiful morning', 'very', separator: ' ', radius: 1)
# => ...a very beautiful...

Guirec Corbel

Added controller-level etag additions that will be part of the action etag computation Jeremy Kemper/DHH

class InvoicesController < ApplicationController
  etag { current_user.try :id }

  def show
    # Etag will differ even for the same invoice when it's viewed by a different current_user
    @invoice = Invoice.find(params[:id])
    fresh_when(@invoice)
  end
end

Add automatic template digests to all CacheHelper#cache calls (originally spiked in the cache_digests plugin) DHH
When building a URL fails, add missing keys provided by Journey. Failed URL generation now returns a 500 status instead of a 404.

Richard Schneeman
Deprecate availability of ActionView::RecordIdentifier in controllers by default. It's view specific and can be easily included in controllers manually if someone really needs it. Also deprecate calling ActionController::RecordIdentifier.dom_id and dom_class directly, in favor of ActionView::RecordIdentifier.dom_id and dom_class. RecordIdentifier will be removed from ActionController::Base in Rails 4.1.

Piotr Sarnacki
Fix ActionView::RecordIdentifier to work as a singleton. Piotr Sarnacki
Deprecate Template#mime_type, it will be removed in Rails 4.1 in favor of #type. Piotr Sarnacki
Move vendored html-scanner from action_controller to action_view directory. If you require it directly, please use 'action_view/vendor/html-scanner', reference to 'action_controller/vendor/html-scanner' will be removed in Rails 4.1. Piot Sarnacki
Fix handling of date selects when using both disabled and discard options. Fixes #7431.

Vasiliy Ermolovich
ActiveRecord::SessionStore is extracted out of Rails into a gem activerecord-session_store. Setting config.session_store to :active_record_store will no longer work and will break if the activerecord-session_store gem isn't available. Prem Sichanugrist
Fix select_tag when option_tags is nil. Fixes #7404.

Sandeep Ravichandran

Add Request#formats=(extensions) that lets you set multiple formats directly in a prioritized order.

Example of using this for custom iphone views with an HTML fallback:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :adjust_format_for_iphone_with_html_fallback

  private
    def adjust_format_for_iphone_with_html_fallback
      request.formats = [ :iphone, :html ] if request.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"][/iPhone/]
    end
end

DHH

Add Routing Concerns to declare common routes that can be reused inside others resources and routes.

Code before:

resources :messages do
  resources :comments
end

resources :posts do
  resources :comments
  resources :images, only: :index
end

Code after:

concern :commentable do
  resources :comments
end

concern :image_attachable do
  resources :images, only: :index
end

resources :messages, concerns: :commentable

resources :posts, concerns: [:commentable, :image_attachable]

DHH + Rafael Mendonça França

Add start_hour and end_hour options to the select_hour helper. Evan Tann
Raises an ArgumentError when the first argument in form_for contain nil or is empty.

Richard Schneeman
Add 'X-Frame-Options' => 'SAMEORIGIN' 'X-XSS-Protection' => '1; mode=block' and 'X-Content-Type-Options' => 'nosniff' as default headers.

Egor Homakov
Allow data attributes to be set as a first-level option for form_for, so you can write form_for @record, data: { behavior: 'autosave' } instead of form_for @record, html: { data: { behavior: 'autosave' } } DHH

Deprecate button_to_function and link_to_function helpers.

We recommend the use of Unobtrusive JavaScript instead. For example:

link_to "Greeting", "#", class: "nav_link"

$(function() {
  $('.nav_link').click(function() {
    // Some complex code

    return false;
  });
});

link_to "Greeting", '#', onclick: "alert('Hello world!'); return false", class: "nav_link"

for simple cases.

Rafael Mendonça França

javascript_include_tag :all will now not include application.js if the file does not exists. Prem Sichanugrist
Send an empty response body when call head with status between 100 and 199, 204, 205 or 304.

Armand du Plessis
Fixed issue with where digest authentication would not work behind a proxy. Arthur Smith

Added ActionController::Live. Mix it in to your controller and you can stream data to the client live. For example:

class FooController < ActionController::Base
  include ActionController::Live

  def index
    100.times {
      # Client will see this as it's written
      response.stream.write "hello world\n"
      sleep 1
    }
    response.stream.close
  end
end

Aaron Patterson

Remove ActionDispatch::Head middleware in favor of Rack::Head. Santiago Pastorino
Deprecate :confirm in favor of data: { confirm: "Text" } option for button_to, button_tag, image_submit_tag, link_to and submit_tag helpers.

Carlos Galdino + Rafael Mendonça França
Show routes in exception page while debugging a RoutingError in development.

Richard Schneeman + Mattt Thompson + Yves Senn
Add ActionController::Flash.add_flash_types method to allow people to register their own flash types. e.g.:
```
class ApplicationController
  add_flash_types :error, :warning
end
```
If you add the above code, you can use <%= error %> in an erb, and redirect_to /foo, error: 'message' in a controller.

kennyj
Remove Active Model dependency from Action Pack. Guillermo Iguaran
Support unicode characters in routes. Route will be automatically escaped, so instead of manually escaping:
```
get Rack::Utils.escape('こんにちは') => 'home#index'
```
You just have to write the unicode route:
```
get 'こんにちは' => 'home#index'
```
kennyj
Return proper format on exceptions. Santiago Pastorino
Allow to use mounted_helpers (helpers for accessing mounted engines) in ActionView::TestCase. Piotr Sarnacki
Include mounted_helpers (helpers for accessing mounted engines) in ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest by default. Piotr Sarnacki
Extracted redirect logic from ActionController::ForceSSL::ClassMethods.force_ssl into ActionController::ForceSSL#force_ssl_redirect

Jeremy Friesen

Make possible to use a block in button_to if the button text is hard to fit into the name parameter, e.g.:

<%= button_to [:make_happy, @user] do %>
  Make happy <strong><%= @user.name %></strong>
<% end %>
# => "<form method="post" action="/users/1/make_happy" class="button_to">
#      <div>
#        <button type="submit">
#          Make happy <strong>Name</strong>
#        </button>
#      </div>
#    </form>"

Sergey Nartimov

Change a way of ordering helpers from several directories. Previously, when loading helpers from multiple paths, all of the helpers files were gathered into one array an then they were sorted. Helpers from different directories should not be mixed before loading them to make loading more predictable. The most common use case for such behavior is loading helpers from engines. When you load helpers from application and engine Foo, in that order, first rails will load all of the helpers from application, sorted alphabetically and then it will do the same for Foo engine.

Piotr Sarnacki
truncate now always returns an escaped HTML-safe string. The option :escape can be used as false to not escape the result.

Li Ellis Gallardo + Rafael Mendonça França
truncate now accepts a block to show extra content when the text is truncated. Li Ellis Gallardo
Add week_field, week_field_tag, month_field, month_field_tag, datetime_local_field, datetime_local_field_tag, datetime_field and datetime_field_tag helpers. Carlos Galdino
Add color_field and color_field_tag helpers. Carlos Galdino
assert_generates, assert_recognizes, and assert_routing all raise Assertion instead of RoutingError David Chelimsky
URL path parameters with invalid encoding now raise ActionController::BadRequest. Andrew White
Malformed query and request parameter hashes now raise ActionController::BadRequest. Andrew White
Add divider option to grouped_options_for_select to generate a separator optgroup automatically, and deprecate prompt as third argument, in favor of using an options hash. Nicholas Greenfield
Add time_field and time_field_tag helpers which render an input[type="time"] tag. Alex Soulim
Removed old text helper apis from highlight, excerpt and word_wrap. Jeremy Walker
Templates without a handler extension now raises a deprecation warning but still defaults to ERB. In future releases, it will simply return the template contents. Steve Klabnik
Deprecate :disable_with in favor of data: { disable_with: "Text" } option from submit_tag, button_tag and button_to helpers.

Carlos Galdino + Rafael Mendonça França
Remove :mouseover option from image_tag helper. Rafael Mendonça França
The select method (select tag) forces :include_blank if required is true and display size is one and multiple is not true. Angelo Capilleri
Copy literal route constraints to defaults so that url generation know about them. The copied constraints are :protocol, :subdomain, :domain, :host and :port.

Andrew White
respond_to and respond_with now raise ActionController::UnknownFormat instead of directly returning head 406. The exception is rescued and converted to 406 in the exception handling middleware. Steven Soroka

Allow to lazy load default_form_builder by passing a String instead of a constant. Piotr Sarnacki
Session arguments passed to process calls in functional tests are now merged into the existing session, whereas previously they would replace the existing session. This change may break some existing tests if they are asserting the exact contents of the session but should not break existing tests that only assert individual keys.

Add index method to FormBuilder class. Jorge Bejar
Remove the leading \n added by textarea on assert_select. Santiago Pastorino
Changed default value for config.action_view.embed_authenticity_token_in_remote_forms to false. This change breaks remote forms that need to work also without JavaScript, so if you need such behavior, you can either set it to true or explicitly pass authenticity_token: true in form options.
Added ActionDispatch::SSL middleware that when included force all the requests to be under HTTPS protocol. Rafael Mendonça França
Add include_hidden option to select tag. With include_hidden: false select with multiple attribute doesn't generate hidden input with blank value. Vasiliy Ermolovich

Allows the route helper root to take a string argument. For example, root 'pages#main'. bcardarella
Forms of persisted records use always PATCH (via the _method hack). fxn
For resources, both PATCH and PUT are routed to the update action. fxn

Don't ignore force_ssl in development. This is a change of behavior - use a :if condition to recreate the old behavior.

class AccountsController < ApplicationController
  force_ssl if: :ssl_configured?

  def ssl_configured?
    !Rails.env.development?
  end
end

Pat Allan

Adds support for the PATCH verb:
- Request objects respond to patch?.
- Routes have a new patch method, and understand :patch in the existing places where a verb is configured, like :via.
- New method patch available in functional tests.
- If :patch is the default verb for updates, edits are tunneled as PATCH rather than as PUT, and routing acts accordingly.
- New method patch_via_redirect available in integration tests.

Integration tests support the OPTIONS method. Jeremy Kemper
expires_in accepts a must_revalidate flag. If true, "must-revalidate" is added to the Cache-Control header. fxn
Add date_field and date_field_tag helpers which render an input[type="date"] tag Olek Janiszewski
Adds image_url, javascript_url, stylesheet_url, audio_url, video_url, and font_url to assets tag helper. These URL helpers will return the full path to your assets. This is useful when you are going to reference this asset from external host. Prem Sichanugrist
Default responder will now always use your overridden block in respond_with to render your response. Prem Sichanugrist
Allow value_method and text_method arguments from collection_select and options_from_collection_for_select to receive an object that responds to :call, such as a proc, to evaluate the option in the current element context. This works the same way with collection_radio_buttons and collection_check_boxes.

Carlos Antonio da Silva + Rafael Mendonça França

Add collection_check_boxes form helper, similar to collection_select: Example:

collection_check_boxes :post, :author_ids, Author.all, :id, :name
# Outputs something like:
<input id="post_author_ids_1" name="post[author_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="1" />
<label for="post_author_ids_1">D. Heinemeier Hansson</label>
<input id="post_author_ids_2" name="post[author_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="2" />
<label for="post_author_ids_2">D. Thomas</label>
<input name="post[author_ids][]" type="hidden" value="" />

The label/check_box pairs can be customized with a block.

Carlos Antonio da Silva + Rafael Mendonça França

Add collection_radio_buttons form helper, similar to collection_select: Example:

collection_radio_buttons :post, :author_id, Author.all, :id, :name

<label for="post_author_id_1">D. Heinemeier Hansson</label>
<input id="post_author_id_2" name="post[author_id]" type="radio" value="2" />
<label for="post_author_id_2">D. Thomas</label>

The label/radio_button pairs can be customized with a block.
