  Mario Chavez

Rails 5.1.1 (May 12, 2017)

• No changes.

Rails 5.1.0 (April 27, 2017)

• Raise exception when calling to_h and to_hash in an unpermitted Parameters.

  Before we returned either an empty hash or only the always permitted parameters (:controller and :action by default).

  The previous behavior was dangerous because in order to get the attributes users usually fallback to use to_unsafe_h that could potentially introduce security issues.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Deprecate config.action_controller.raise_on_unfiltered_parameters.

  This option has no effect in Rails 5.1.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Use more specific check for :format in route path

  The current check for whether to add an optional format to the path is very lax and will match things like :format_id where there are nested resources, e.g:

  resources :formats do
    resources :items
  end

  Fix this by using a more restrictive regex pattern that looks for the patterns (.:format), .:format or / at the end of the path. Note that we need to allow for multiple closing parenthesis since the route may be of this form:

  get "/books(/:action(.:format))", controller: "books"

  This probably isn't what's intended since it means that the default index action route doesn't support a format but we have a test for it so we need to allow it.

  Fixes #28517.

  Andrew White

• Add action_controller_api and action_controller_base load hooks to be called in ActiveSupport.on_load

  ActionController::Base and ActionController::API have differing implementations. This means that the one umbrella hook action_controller is not able to address certain situations where a method may not exist in a certain implementation.

  This is fixed by adding two new hooks so you can target ActionController::Base vs ActionController::API

  Fixes #27013.

  Julian Nadeau

• Don't include default headers in ActionController::Metal responses

  The commit e16afe6 introduced an unintentional change of behavior where the default headers were included in responses from ActionController::Metal based controllers. This is now reverted to the previous behavior of having no default headers.

  Fixes #25820.

  Jon Moss

• Fix NameError raised in ActionController::Renderer#with_defaults

  Hiroyuki Ishii

• Added #reverse_merge and #reverse_merge! methods to ActionController::Parameters

  Edouard Chin, Mitsutaka Mimura

• Fix malformed URLS when using ApplicationController.renderer

  The Rack environment variable rack.url_scheme was not being set so scheme was returning nil. This caused URLs to be malformed with the default settings. Fix this by setting rack.url_scheme when the environment is normalized.

  Fixes #28151.

  George Vrettos

• Commit flash changes when using a redirect route.

  Fixes #27992.

  Andrew White

• Prefer remove_method over undef_method when reloading routes

  When undef_method is used it prevents access to other implementations of that url helper in the ancestor chain so use remove_method instead to restore access.

  Andrew White

• Add the resolve method to the routing DSL

  This new method allows customization of the polymorphic mapping of models:

  resource :basket
  resolve("Basket") { [:basket] }

  <%= form_for @basket do |form| %>
  <!-- basket form -->
  <% end %>

  This generates the correct singular URL for the form instead of the default resources member url, e.g. /basket vs. /basket/:id.

  Fixes #1769.

  Andrew White

• Add the direct method to the routing DSL

  This new method allows creation of custom url helpers, e.g:

  direct(:apple) { "http://www.apple.com" }
  
  >> apple_url
  => "http://www.apple.com"

  This has the advantage of being available everywhere url helpers are available unlike custom url helpers defined in helper modules, etc.

  Andrew White

• Add ActionDispatch::SystemTestCase to Action Pack

  Adds Capybara integration directly into Rails through Action Pack!

  See PR #26703

  Eileen M. Uchitelle

• Make with_routing test helper work when testing controllers inheriting from ActionController::API

  Julia López

• Use accept header in integration tests with as: :json

  Instead of appending the format to the request path, Rails will figure out the format from the header instead.

  This allows devs to use :as on routes that don't have a format.

  Fixes #27144.

  Kasper Timm Hansen

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

  Fixes #22742.

  Tawan Sierek

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Show an "unmatched constraints" error when params fail to match constraints on a matched route, rather than a "missing keys" error.

  Fixes #26470.

  Chris Carter

• Fix adding implicitly rendered template digests to ETags.

  Fixes a case when modifying an implicitly rendered template for a controller action using fresh_when or stale? would not result in a new ETag value.

  Javan Makhmali

• Make fixture_file_upload work in integration tests.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• Add to_param to ActionController::Parameters deprecations.

  In the future ActionController::Parameters are discouraged from being used in URLs without explicit whitelisting. Go through to_h to use to_param.

  Kir Shatrov

• Fix nested multiple roots

  The PR #20940 enabled the use of multiple roots with different constraints at the top level but unfortunately didn't work when those roots were inside a namespace and also broke the use of root inside a namespace after a top level root was defined because the check for the existence of the named route used the global :root name and not the namespaced name.

  This is fixed by using the name_for_action method to expand the :root name to the full namespaced name. We can pass nil for the second argument as we're not dealing with resource definitions so don't need to handle the cases for edit and new routes.

  Fixes #26148.

  Ryo Hashimoto, Andrew White

• Include the content of the flash in the auto-generated etag. This solves the following problem:

  1. POST /messages
  2. redirect_to messages_url, notice: 'Message was created'
  3. GET /messages/1
  4. GET /messages

  Step 4 would before still include the flash message, even though it's no longer relevant, because the etag cache was recorded with the flash in place and didn't change when it was gone.

  DHH

• SSL: Changes redirect behavior for all non-GET and non-HEAD requests (like POST/PUT/PATCH etc) to http:// resources to redirect to https:// with a 307 status code instead of 301 status code.

  307 status code instructs the HTTP clients to preserve the original request method while redirecting. It has been part of HTTP RFC since 1999 and is implemented/recognized by most (if not all) user agents.

  # Before
  POST http://example.com/articles (i.e. ArticlesContoller#create)
  redirects to
  GET https://example.com/articles (i.e. ArticlesContoller#index)
  
  # After
  POST http://example.com/articles (i.e. ArticlesContoller#create)
  redirects to
  POST https://example.com/articles (i.e. ArticlesContoller#create)
  

  Chirag Singhal

• Add :as option to ActionController:TestCase#process and related methods.

  Specifying as: mime_type allows the CONTENT_TYPE header to be specified in controller tests without manually doing this through @request.headers['CONTENT_TYPE'].

  Everest Stefan Munro-Zeisberger

• Show cache hits and misses when rendering partials.

  Partials using the cache helper will show whether a render hit or missed the cache:

  Rendered messages/_message.html.erb in 1.2 ms [cache hit]
  Rendered recordings/threads/_thread.html.erb in 1.5 ms [cache miss]
  

  This removes the need for the old fragment cache logging:

  Read fragment views/v1/2914079/v1/2914079/recordings/70182313-20160225015037000000/d0bdf2974e1ef6d31685c3b392ad0b74 (0.6ms)
  Rendered messages/_message.html.erb in 1.2 ms [cache hit]
  Write fragment views/v1/2914079/v1/2914079/recordings/70182313-20160225015037000000/3b4e249ac9d168c617e32e84b99218b5 (1.1ms)
  Rendered recordings/threads/_thread.html.erb in 1.5 ms [cache miss]
  

  Though that full output can be reenabled with config.action_controller.enable_fragment_cache_logging = true.

  Stan Lo

• Don't override the Accept header in integration tests when called with xhr: true.

  Fixes #25859.

  David Chen

• Fix defaults option for root route.

  A regression from some refactoring for the 5.0 release, this change fixes the use of defaults (default parameters) in the root routing method.

  Chris Arcand

• Check request.path_parameters encoding at the point they're set.

  Check for any non-UTF8 characters in path parameters at the point they're set in env. Previously they were checked for when used to get a controller class, but this meant routes that went directly to a Rack app, or skipped controller instantiation for some other reason, had to defend against non-UTF8 characters themselves.

  Grey Baker

• Don't raise ActionController::UnknownHttpMethod from ActionDispatch::Static.

  Pass Rack::Request objects to ActionDispatch::FileHandler to avoid it raising ActionController::UnknownHttpMethod. If an unknown method is passed, it should pass exception higher in the stack instead, once we've had a chance to define exception handling behaviour.

  Grey Baker

• Handle Rack::QueryParser errors in ActionDispatch::ExceptionWrapper.

  Updated ActionDispatch::ExceptionWrapper to handle the Rack 2.0 namespace for ParameterTypeError and InvalidParameterError errors.
