Rails 8.0.2 (March 12, 2025)

• Respect html_options[:form] when collection_checkboxes generates the hidden <input>.

• Layouts have access to local variables passed to render.

  This fixes #31680 which was a regression in Rails 5.1.

  Mike Dalessio

• Argument errors related to strict locals in templates now raise an ::ActionView::StrictLocalsError, and all other argument errors are reraised as-is.

  Previously, any ArgumentError raised during template rendering was swallowed during strict local error handling, so that an ArgumentError unrelated to strict locals (e.g., a helper method invoked with incorrect arguments) would be replaced by a similar ArgumentError with an unrelated backtrace, making it difficult to debug templates.

  Now, any ArgumentError unrelated to strict locals is reraised, preserving the original backtrace for developers.

  Also note that ::ActionView::StrictLocalsError is a subclass of ArgumentError, so any existing code that rescues ArgumentError will continue to work.

  Fixes #52227.

• Enable DependencyTracker to evaluate renders with trailing interpolation.

  <%= render "maintenance_tasks/runs/info/#{run.status}" %>
  

  Previously, the DependencyTracker would ignore this render, but now it will mark all partials in the "maintenance_tasks/runs/info" folder as dependencies.
