Featured

This Week’s Rails Contributors

This week 33 people contributed to Rails. We also got 4 first time contributors. Welcome aboard folks and keep it going!

SQL Server adapter released for Rails 5

The 5.0.x version of the adapter is only for the latest 5.0 version of Rails. If you need the adapter for an older version of Rails, just install the latest version of the adapter that matches your Rails version (3.2.x to 4.1.x).

Git repo in new Rails projects

New projects will now be generated with a Git repo by default. Please use the option --skip-git if you choose to skip it.

Foreign Key Support for SQLite

Adds foreign key support for SQLite 3.6.19 (or greater) in create statements.

Improved

Improve the AS::NumericWithFormat#to_s memory allocation

Thanks to some good profiling, ActiveSupport::NumericWithFormat#to_s should behave better and not allocate too many objects. 🔎

Fixed

Add channel prefix support to Action Cable Redis adapter

Without channel prefix in Redis, apps using the same Redis server could have their communication compromised. You can now set the option channel_prefix in your cable.yml file. Please check the PR for details.

Make all Rails commands work in engines

The following commands are now working in engines: server, console, dbconsole and runner.

Generate migrations at custom path

New database migrations will be generated at the path set by config.paths["db/migrate"] if the option is defined.

Fix Module#parent_name on a frozen module

The method would throw a runtime error when called for a frozen module.

Wrapping up

That’s it from This Week in Rails! There were many other great contributions, too numerous to list here, but feel free to check them out!

Until next week!
