New
Use ImageProcessing gem for Active Storage variants
ImageProcessing gem provides a wrapper around MiniMagic and ruby-vips, allowing you to change backends on the fly and benefit from libvips being up to 10x faster than ImageMagick.
Improved
Update 'rails_welcome.png' to reflect a more diverse population
The Getting Started picture that you can see in new Rails apps was updated with a more diverse population.
Support Active Storage attachment in presence validator
`assert_presence_of` now works with ActiveStorage attachments.
Merge Arel to Active Record
To simplify release management, Arel library hosted in rails/arel has been merged to ActiveRecord, and is now located in rails/rails.
