Rails 4.2.11.1 (March 11, 2019)

Rails 4.2.9 (June 26, 2017)

• No changes.

Rails 4.2.8 (February 21, 2017)

• Add config/initializers/to_time_preserves_timezone.rb, which tells Active Support to preserve the receiver's timezone when calling to_time. This matches the new behavior that will be part of Ruby 2.4.

  Fixes #24617.

  Andrew White

• Reset a new session directly after its creation in ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest#open_session

  Fixes Issue #22742

  Tawan Sierek

  Fixes #19880.

  Yuji Yaginuma

Rails 4.2.7 (July 12, 2016)

• Do not run bundle install when generating a new plugin.

  Since bundler 1.12.0, the gemspec is validated so the bundle install command will fail just after the gem is created causing confusion to the users. This change was a bug fix to correctly validate gemspecs.

  Diego Carrion

• Make generated scaffold functional tests work inside engines.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• Add support for inline images in mailer previews by using an interceptor class to convert cid: urls in image src attributes to data urls. The interceptor is not enabled by default but can be done in an initializer:

  # config/initializer/preview_interceptors.rb
  ActionMailer::Base.register_preview_interceptor(ActionMailer::InlinePreviewInterceptor)
  

  Andrew White

• Fix mailer previews with attachments by using the mail gem's own API to locate the first part of the correct mime type.

  Fixes #15913.

  Rafael Mendonça França

Rails 4.2.0 (December 20, 2014)

• Deprecate config.serve_static_assets in favor of config.serve_static_files to clarify that the option is unrelated to the asset pipeline.

  Godfrey Chan

• config.serve_static_files can now be set from an environment variable in production mode. The feature remains off by default, but can be enabled by setting RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES to a non-empty string at boot time.

  Richard Schneeman, Godfrey Chan

• Generated migrations add the appropriate foreign key constraints to references.

  Derek Prior

• Deprecate different default for log_level in production.

• Make rake test run all tests in test folder.

  Deprecate rake test:all and replace rake test:all:db with rake test:db

  David Geukers

• secret_token is now saved in Rails.application.secrets.secret_token and it falls back to the value of config.secret_token when it is not present in config/secrets.yml.

  Benjamin Fleischer

  Fixes #17023.

  Dan Olson

  Ryan Dao, Genadi Samokovarov, Guillermo Iguaran

• Add a required option to the model generator for associations

  Sean Griffin

• Add after_bundle callbacks in Rails templates. Useful for allowing the generated binstubs to be added to version control.

  Fixes #16292.

  Stefan Kanev

• Pull in the custom configuration concept from dhh/custom_configuration, which allows you to configure your own code through the Rails configuration object with custom configuration:

  # config/environments/production.rb
  config.x.payment_processing.schedule = :daily
  config.x.payment_processing.retries  = 3
  config.x.super_debugger              = true
  

  These configuration points are then available through the configuration object:

  Rails.configuration.x.payment_processing.schedule # => :daily
  Rails.configuration.x.payment_processing.retries  # => 3
  Rails.configuration.x.super_debugger              # => true

  development:
    url: http://localhost:3001

  Arun Agrawal

• Make the rails:template rake task load the application's initializers.

  Fixes #12133.

  Robin Dupret

• Introduce Rails.gem_version as a convenience method to return Gem::Version.new(Rails.version), suggesting a more reliable way to perform version comparison.

  Example:

  Rails.version #=> "4.1.2"
  Rails.gem_version #=> #<Gem::Version "4.1.2">
  
  Rails.version > "4.1.10" #=> false
  Rails.gem_version > Gem::Version.new("4.1.10") #=> true
  Gem::Requirement.new("~> 4.1.2") =~ Rails.gem_version #=> true
  

  Prem Sichanugrist

• Avoid namespacing routes inside engines.

  Mountable engines are namespaced by default so the generated routes were too while they should not.

  Fixes #14079.
