Rails 8.0.0.rc2 (October 30, 2024)

• No changes.

Rails 8.0.0.rc1 (October 19, 2024)

• Remove deprecated support to passing an array of strings to ActiveSupport::Deprecation#warn.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated support to setting attr_internal_naming_format with a @ prefix.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated ActiveSupport::ProxyObject.

• Don't execute i18n watcher on boot. It shouldn't catch any file changes initially, and unnecessarily slows down boot of applications with lots of translations.

  Gannon McGibbon, David Stosik

• Fix ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess#stringify_keys to stringify all keys not just symbols.

  Previously:

  { 1 => 2 }.with_indifferent_access.stringify_keys[1] # => 2

  After this change:

  { 1 => 2 }.with_indifferent_access.stringify_keys["1"] # => 2

  This change can be seen as a bug fix, but since it behaved like this for a very long time, we're deciding to not backport the fix and to make the change in a major release.

Rails 8.0.0.beta1 (September 26, 2024)

• Include options when instrumenting ActiveSupport::Cache::Store#delete and ActiveSupport::Cache::Store#delete_multi.

  Adam Renberg Tamm

• Print test names when running rails test -v for parallel tests.

  John Hawthorn, Abeid Ahmed

• Deprecate Benchmark.ms core extension.

  The benchmark gem will become bundled in Ruby 3.5

  Earlopain

• ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone#inspect now uses ISO 8601 style time like Time#inspect

  John Hawthorn

• ActiveSupport::ErrorReporter#report now assigns a backtrace to unraised exceptions.

  Previously reporting an un-raised exception would result in an error report without a backtrace. Now it automatically generates one.

  Jean Boussier

• Add escape_html_entities option to ActiveSupport::JSON.encode.

  This allows for overriding the global configuration found at ActiveSupport#escape_html_entities_in_json for specific calls to to_json.

  This should be usable from controllers in the following manner:

  class MyController < ApplicationController
    def index
      render json: { hello: "world" }, escape_html_entities: false
    end
  end

  Nigel Baillie

• Raise when using key which can't respond to #to_sym in EncryptedConfiguration.

  As is the case when trying to use an Integer or Float as a key, which is unsupported.

  zzak

• Deprecate addition and since between two Time and ::ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone.

  Previously adding time instances together such as 10.days.ago + 10.days.ago or 10.days.ago.since(10.days.ago) produced a nonsensical future date. This behavior is deprecated and will be removed in Rails 8.1.

  Nick Schwaderer

• Support rfc2822 format for Time#to_fs & Date#to_fs.

  Akshay Birajdar

• Optimize load time for Railtie#initialize_i18n. Filter I18n.load_paths passed to the file watcher to only those under Rails.root. Previously the watcher would grab all available locales, including those in gems which do not require a watcher because they won't change.

  Nick Schwaderer

• Add a filter option to in_order_of to prioritize certain values in the sorting without filtering the results by these values.

  Igor Depolli

• Improve error message when using assert_difference or assert_changes with a proc by printing the proc's source code (MRI only).

  Richard Böhme, Jean Boussier

• Add a new configuration value :zone for ActiveSupport.to_time_preserves_timezone and rename the previous true value to :offset. The new default value is :zone.

  Jason Kim, John Hawthorn

• Align instrumentation payload[:key] in ::ActiveSupport::Cache to follow the same pattern, with namespaced and normalized keys.

  Frederik Erbs Spang Thomsen

• Fix travel_to to set usec 0 when with_usec is false and the given argument String or DateTime.
