Improved

It's now possible to use environment variables and IAM roles to authenticate to AWS in Active Storage.

New version of mysql2 gem brings some bugfixes and features but also some backward incompatibilites. Check them out in changelog.

Fixed

Fixes encoding incompatibilites between Rack and Rails middlewares.
