Hey there!

This is Claudio, celebrating a historical moment on the road to a better framework for everyone.

This week’s Rails contributors

28 people contributed to the framework by having their commits merged into rails/rails this week. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Rails 4.2.3 and 4.1.12 have been released!

What are you waiting for? Run bundle update rails and get four months of updates in your codebases!

New Stuff

Integrate protected_attributes with strong parameters

Are you still on Rails 3? Do you wish you could use strong parameters? Check out this commit to protected_attributes… it might just make your day.

Sprockets 4.0 is coming

The development of rails/sprockets moves on and… needs your help! If you’d like to contribute to its next version, don’t hesitate to contact any Rails core team member.

Fixed

Raise the proper error on namespaced-association type mismatch

Assigning a wrong value to a namespaced association used to raise NameError, but will now correctly raise ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch

One More Thing™

Kasper Timm Hansen is a Rails Committer team member

Kasper started contributing one year ago and has not stopped (240 commits and counting)! Thanks for being awesome and for your wonderful blog posts.

That’s a wrap

That’s all for This week in Rails. As always, there are many more changes than we have room to cover here, but feel free to check them out yourself!

Have you been thinking about writing for us, but you’re scared of putting yourself out there? Don’t worry, you can help our editors improve their writing with thoughtful critique and general grammar policing.
