Please take a minute or two to update your project Gemfile and run the build on the RCs. Spotting regressions now means they're fixed in another RC rather than a new point release some month(s) away.

As of 17h15min, UTC -3, 28 contributors made their commits to Rails master. Some of those for the very first time. Welcome!
