We had 25 of you lovely individuals contribute code and documentation to Rails this week. You all rock! Keep the contributions coming!

Collapse Default Initializers Into a Single File

Add `WebSocket` and `logger` Configuration Options for Action Cable

You can now configure your own WebSocket and logger options when using Action Cable.

`ActiveRecord::Base#hash` Should Differ Between Classes

Previously, there was an issue where it was possible to have collisions if #hash was called on two different models with the same ID. This is now fixed on master.
