Ruby on Rails

Hey everyone! I am pumped to announce that Rails 3.2.13.rc1 has been released!
If no regressions are found I will release 3.2.13 final in two weeks, on March
13, 2013. If you find one, please [Open an Issue on
GitHub](https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/new) so that I can fix it before
the final release.

This is a bugfix release, with 287 commits. There is one big thing that is
technically a fix but is sort of a feature: Ruby 2.0 support. Big thanks to
Prem Sichanugrist for putting that together! Please give your applications a
try on Ruby 2.0 and let me know how that goes.

## CHANGES since 3.2.12

*Action Mailer*

No changes.

*Action Pack*

* Determine the controller#action from only the matched path when using the
shorthand syntax. Previously the complete path was used, which led
to problems with nesting (scopes and namespaces).
Fixes #7554.
Backport #9361.

Example:

# this will route to questions#new
scope ':locale' do
get 'questions/new'
end

*Yves Senn*

* Fix `assert_template` with `render :stream => true`.
Fix #1743.
Backport #5288.

*Sergey Nartimov*

* Eagerly populate the http method loookup cache so local project
inflections do
not interfere with use of underscore method ( and we don't need locks )

*Aditya Sanghi*

* `BestStandardsSupport` no longer duplicates `X-UA-Compatible` values on
each request to prevent header size from blowing up.

*Edward Anderson*

* Fixed JSON params parsing regression for non-object JSON content.

*Dylan Smith*

* Prevent unnecessary asset compilation when using `javascript_include_tag` on
files with non-standard extensions.

*Noah Silas*

* Fixes issue where duplicate assets can be required with sprockets.

*Jeremy Jackson*

* Bump `rack` dependency to 1.4.3, eliminate `Rack::File` headers
deprecation warning.

*Sam Ruby + Carlos Antonio da Silva*

* Do not append second slash to `root_url` when using `trailing_slash: true`

Fix #8700.
Backport #8701.

Example:
# before
root_url # => http://test.host//

# after
root_url # => http://test.host/

*Yves Senn*

* Fix a bug in `content_tag_for` that prevents it for work without a block.

*Jasl*

* Clear url helper methods when routes are reloaded by removing the methods
explicitly rather than just clearing the module because it didn't work
properly and could be the source of a memory leak.

*Andrew White*

* Fix a bug in `ActionDispatch::Request#raw_post` that caused
`env['rack.input']`
to be read but not rewound.

*Matt Venables*

* More descriptive error messages when calling `render :partial` with
an invalid `:layout` argument.

Fixes #8376.

render :partial => 'partial', :layout => true
# results in ActionView::MissingTemplate: Missing partial /true

*Yves Senn*

* Accept symbols as `#send_data` :disposition value. [Backport
#8329] *Elia Schito*

* Add i18n scope to `distance_of_time_in_words`. [Backport #7997]
*Steve Klabnik*

* Fix side effect of `url_for` changing the `:controller` string
option. [Backport #6003]
Before:

controller = '/projects'
url_for :controller => controller, :action => 'status'

puts controller #=> 'projects'

After

puts controller #=> '/projects'

*Nikita Beloglazov + Andrew White*

* Introduce `ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB.escape_whitelist`.
This is a list
of mime types where template text is not html escaped by default.
It prevents `Jack & Joe`
from rendering as `Jack & Joe` for the whitelisted mime types.
The default whitelist
contains text/plain. Fix #7976 [Backport #8235]

*Joost Baaij*

* `BestStandardsSupport` middleware now appends it's
`X-UA-Compatible` value to app's
returned value if any. Fix #8086 [Backport #8093]

*Nikita Afanasenko*

* prevent double slashes in engine urls when
`Rails.application.default_url_options[:trailing_slash] = true` is set
Fix #7842

*Yves Senn*

* Fix input name when `:multiple => true` and `:index` are set.

Before:

check_box("post", "comment_ids", { :multiple => true, :index
=> "foo" }, 1)
#=> <input name=\"post[foo][comment_ids]\" type=\"hidden\"
value=\"0\" /><input id=\"post_foo_comment_ids_1\"
name=\"post[foo][comment_ids]\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"1\" />

After:

check_box("post", "comment_ids", { :multiple => true, :index
=> "foo" }, 1)
#=> <input name=\"post[foo][comment_ids][]\" type=\"hidden\"
value=\"0\" /><input id=\"post_foo_comment_ids_1\"
name=\"post[foo][comment_ids][]\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"1\" />

Fix #8108

*Daniel Fox, Grant Hutchins & Trace Wax*

*Active Model*

* Specify type of singular association during serialization *Steve Klabnik*

*Active Record*

* Reverted 921a296a3390192a71abeec6d9a035cc6d1865c8, 'Quote numeric values
compared to string columns.' This caused several regressions.

*Steve Klabnik*

* Fix overriding of attributes by default_scope on `ActiveRecord::Base#dup`.

*Hiroshige UMINO*

* Fix issue with overriding Active Record reader methods with a
composed object
and using that attribute as the scope of a `uniqueness_of` validation.
Backport #7072.

*Peter Brown*

* Sqlite now preserves custom primary keys when copying or altering tables.
Fixes #9367.
Backport #2312.

*Sean Scally + Yves Senn*

* Preloading `has_many :through` associations with conditions won't
cache the `:through` association. This will prevent invalid
subsets to be cached.
Fixes #8423.
Backport #9252.

Example:

class User
has_many :posts
has_many :recent_comments, -> { where('created_at > ?',
1.week.ago) }, :through => :posts
end

a_user = User.includes(:recent_comments).first

# this is preloaded
a_user.recent_comments

# fetching the recent_comments through the posts association
won't preload it.
a_user.posts

*Yves Senn*

* Fix handling of dirty time zone aware attributes

Previously, when `time_zone_aware_attributes` were enabled, after
changing a datetime or timestamp attribute and then changing it back
to the original value, `changed_attributes` still tracked the
attribute as changed. This caused `[attribute]_changed?` and
`changed?` methods to return true incorrectly.

Example:

in_time_zone 'Paris' do
order = Order.new
original_time = Time.local(2012, 10, 10)
order.shipped_at = original_time
order.save
order.changed? # => false

# changing value
order.shipped_at = Time.local(2013, 1, 1)
order.changed? # => true

# reverting to original value
order.shipped_at = original_time
order.changed? # => false, used to return true
end

Backport of #9073
Fixes #8898

*Lilibeth De La Cruz*

* Fix counter cache columns not updated when replacing `has_many :through`
associations.
Backport #8400.
Fix #7630.

*Matthew Robertson*

* Don't update `column_defaults` when calling destructive methods on
column with default value.
Backport c517602.
Fix #6115.

*Piotr Sarnacki + Aleksey Magusev + Alan Daud*

* When `#count` is used in conjunction with `#uniq` we perform
`count(:distinct => true)`.
Fix #6865.

Example:

relation.uniq.count # => SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT *)

*Yves Senn + Kaspar Schiess*

* Fix `ActiveRecord::Relation#pluck` when columns or tables are
reserved words.
Backport #7536.
Fix #8968.

*Ian Lesperance + Yves Senn + Kaspar Schiess*

* Don't run explain on slow queries for database adapters that don't
support it.
Backport #6197.

*Blake Smith*

* Revert round usec when comparing timestamp attributes in the dirty tracking.
Fixes #8460.

*Andrew White*

* Revert creation of through association models when using `collection=[]`
on a `has_many :through` association from an unsaved model.
Fix #7661, #8269.

*Ernie Miller*

* Fix undefined method `to_i` when calling `new` on a scope that uses an
Array; Fix FloatDomainError when setting integer column to NaN.
Fixes #8718, #8734, #8757.

*Jason Stirk + Tristan Harward*

* Serialized attributes can be serialized in integer columns.
Fix #8575.

*Rafael Mendonça França*

* Keep index names when using `alter_table` with sqlite3.
Fix #3489.
Backport #8522.

*Yves Senn*

* Recognize migrations placed in directories containing numbers and 'rb'.
Fix #8492.
Backport of #8500.

*Yves Senn*

* Add `ActiveRecord::Base.cache_timestamp_format` class attribute to control
the format of the timestamp value in the cache key.
This allows users to improve the precision of the cache key.
Fixes #8195.

*Rafael Mendonça França*

* Add `:nsec` date format. This can be used to improve the precision
of cache key.
Please note that this format only works with Ruby 1.9, Ruby 1.8
will ignore it completely.

*Jamie Gaskins*

* Unscope `update_column(s)` query to ignore default scope.

When applying `default_scope` to a class with a where clause, using
`update_column(s)` could generate a query that would not properly update
the record due to the where clause from the `default_scope` being applied
to the update query.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
default_scope where(active: true)
end

user = User.first
user.active = false
user.save!

user.update_column(:active, true) # => false

In this situation we want to skip the default_scope clause and just
update the record based on the primary key. With this change:

user.update_column(:active, true) # => true

Backport of #8436 fix.

*Carlos Antonio da Silva*

* Fix performance problem with primary_key method in PostgreSQL
adapter when having many schemas.
Uses pg_constraint table instead of pg_depend table which has many
records in general.
Fix #8414

*kennyj*

* Do not instantiate intermediate Active Record objects when eager loading.
These records caused `after_find` to run more than expected.
Fix #3313
Backport of #8403

*Yves Senn*

* Fix `pluck` to work with joins. Backport of #4942.

*Carlos Antonio da Silva*

* Fix a problem with `translate_exception` method in a non English
environment.
Backport of #6397.

*kennyj*

* Fix dirty attribute checks for TimeZoneConversion with nil and blank
datetime attributes. Setting a nil datetime to a blank string should not
result in a change being flagged.
Fixes #8310.
Backport of #8311.

*Alisdair McDiarmid*

* Prevent mass assignment to the type column of polymorphic
associations when using `build`.
Fixes #8265.
Backport of #8291.

*Yves Senn*

* When running migrations on Postgresql, the `:limit` option for
`binary` and `text` columns is
silently dropped.
Previously, these migrations caused sql exceptions, because
Postgresql doesn't support limits
on these types.

*Victor Costan*

* `#pluck` can be used on a relation with `select` clause.
Fixes #7551.
Backport of #8176.

Example:

Topic.select([:approved, :id]).order(:id).pluck(:id)

*Yves Senn*

* Use `nil?` instead of `blank?` to check whether dynamic finder with a bang
should raise RecordNotFound.
Fixes #7238.

*Nikita Afanasenko*

* Fix deleting from a HABTM join table upon destroying an object of a model
with optimistic locking enabled.
Fixes #5332.

*Nick Rogers*

* Use query cache/uncache when using ENV["DATABASE_URL"].
Fixes #6951.
Backport of #8074.

*kennyj*

* Do not create useless database transaction when building `has_one`
association.

Example:

User.has_one :profile
User.new.build_profile

Backport of #8154.

*Bogdan Gusiev*

* `AR::Base#attributes_before_type_cast` now returns unserialized
values for serialized attributes.

*Nikita Afanasenko*

* Fix issue that raises `NameError` when overriding the
`accepts_nested_attributes` in child classes.

Before:

class Shared::Person < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :address

accepts_nested_attributes :address, :reject_if => :all_blank
end

class Person < Shared::Person
accepts_nested_attributes :address
end

Person
#=> NameError: method `address_attributes=' not defined in Person

After:

Person
#=> Person(id: integer, ...)

Fixes #8131.

*Gabriel Sobrinho, Ricardo Henrique*

*Active Resource*

No changes.

*Active Support*

* Fix DateTime comparison with DateTime::Infinity object.

*Dan Kubb*

* Remove surrogate unicode character encoding from ActiveSupport::JSON.encode
The encoding scheme was broken for unicode characters outside the basic
multilingual plane; since json is assumed to be UTF-8, and we
already force the
encoding to UTF-8 simply pass through the un-encoded characters.

*Brett Carter*

* Fix mocha v0.13.0 compatibility. *James Mead*

* `#as_json` isolates options when encoding a hash. [Backport #8185]
Fix #8182

*Yves Senn*

* Handle the possible Permission Denied errors atomic.rb might trigger due to
its chown and chmod calls. [Backport #8027]

*Daniele Sluijters*

*Railties*

No changes.
