Hi, it’s Greg. Let’s explore this week’s changes in the Rails codebase.
Cast query_cache value when using URL configuration for Active Record
When configuring the Active Record connection with DATABASE_URL
, due to not
casting the value to an integer, the query cache was not set to the given value.
This pull request fixes this issue.
Default Regexp.timeout to 1s
This pull requests sets Regexp.timeout
to 1 second by default to improve security over Regexp Denial-of-Service attacks. If a timeout was already configured in the application, Rails won’t override it.
Authenticate the Action Cable connection too
The new authentication generator will add authentication to Action Cable too
now.
Expand documentation of .attributes_for_inspect
This pull request adds more documentation to the .attributes_for_inspect
method of Active Record.
Fix bundle install for vendored gems
This change fixes an issue with the generated Dockerfile to copy the
vendor
folder to the image, otherwise vendored gems threw an error due to not
being on the filesystem.
