rails changelog

This commit updates the authentication generator in Rails to enhance the handling of session records by utilizing signed_id for session management. Specifically, it modifies the migration for creating sessions by removing the token column and adjusts the session handling methods in the authentication concern to replace the use of a plain token with a signed version. This change improves security by ensuring that session tokens are signed, making them more resistant to tampering.

Additionally, the commit removes the has_secure_token method from the Session model, streamlining the session implementation. The updates include changes to how sessions are found and set, ensuring that the application uses Session.find_signed to retrieve sessions based on the signed token stored in cookies. Overall, these modifications contribute to a more secure and efficient session management system within the Rails framework.

This commit introduces a feature for bulk inserting fixtures into an SQLite database. The primary enhancement allows for more efficient data loading by enabling multiple records to be inserted in a single operation, which can significantly improve performance compared to inserting records individually.

The changes likely involve modifications to the database interaction logic, ensuring that the new bulk insert functionality is seamlessly integrated with existing workflows. This update is expected to streamline the process of setting up test data or populating the database with initial records, ultimately enhancing the development and testing experience.

This commit addresses an issue in the PostgreSQL adapter related to the handling of prepared statements when they are disabled. It resolves a specific problem highlighted in a discussion on GitHub, ensuring that the adapter functions correctly under these conditions. Additionally, the commit removes the without_prepared_statements? method, streamlining the code and enhancing maintainability.

Overall, these changes improve the robustness of the PostgreSQL adapter by ensuring it operates correctly without relying on prepared statements, while also simplifying the codebase by eliminating unnecessary methods.

This commit introduces a new route helper called connect specifically designed for WebSocket functionality. The addition aims to streamline the process of establishing WebSocket connections within the application, enhancing the overall user experience and enabling real-time communication features.

The implementation of the connect helper simplifies the setup of WebSocket routes, making it easier for developers to integrate and manage WebSocket connections in their projects. This change is expected to improve code readability and maintainability, while also providing a more efficient way to handle WebSocket interactions.

This commit introduces a significant improvement for railties by enabling them to utilize lazy routes more effectively. Previously, railtie initializers faced limitations when trying to access app.routes, as they were unable to properly reference the route_set_class setting, which required the use of a standard route set. This restriction hindered the integration of railties with lazy loading of routes.

With this update, the configuration for the route set class is now established earlier in the initialization process. As a result, railties can seamlessly interact with lazy routes without causing interference, enhancing the overall functionality and flexibility of route management within the application.

This commit addresses an issue with the create_table method in the MySQL adapter by ensuring proper handling of the :auto_increment option. The update enhances the functionality by allowing developers to specify the :auto_increment attribute when creating tables, which is essential for defining primary keys that automatically increment in value.

As a result of this fix, users can now seamlessly create tables with auto-incrementing fields, improving the overall usability and reliability of the MySQL adapter in managing database schemas. This change is expected to streamline database operations and reduce potential errors associated with manual value assignments for primary keys.

This commit introduces a validation mechanism to check for invalid enum options when using the new syntax in ActiveRecord. Specifically, options prefixed with an underscore, such as _prefix, _suffix, _scopes, _default, and _instance_methods, which were valid in the old syntax, are now deemed invalid. The code has been updated to raise an ArgumentError if any of these options are used, helping to enforce the new syntax rules and prevent potential issues.

In addition to the code changes, the commit includes several tests that verify the correct behavior of the validation. Each test checks that an appropriate error message is raised when an invalid option is specified, ensuring that developers are informed of the mistake. The commit resolves issue #52586, contributing to the overall robustness and clarity of the enum implementation in ActiveRecord.

This commit updates the codebase to support Minitest versions 5.25 and above by accommodating a new API for the with_info_handler method, which now accepts an additional argument. This enhancement ensures compatibility with the latest features introduced in Minitest while maintaining support for all versions of Minitest 5.

The changes made in this commit reflect a proactive approach to keeping the code up-to-date with the evolving Minitest framework, thereby enhancing its functionality and ensuring that users can leverage the improvements in newer versions without losing access to earlier functionality.
