Hi there! This is Kirย from chilling Ottawa, bringing you another edition of This Week in Rails. Let's dive in.
Featured
We had 21 awesome people who helped make Rails better this week, with one first-time contributor! Would you like to help as well? Head over to the ๐Ÿ‘‰ issues list.
New
It's your chance to help us discover bugs in 4.2.9 and 5.1.2 release candidates. Also, Rails 4.2.9 will be the last release in 4.2 series, so it's time to upgrade if your app is still running on Rails 4.
Perf
Inserting fixtures in test environment became significantly faster by using one bulk INSERT query instead of many single INSERTs.
Fixed
Due a bug related to a trailing slash, current_page?ย helper always returned false while it was supposed to return true when it was called from a Rails Engine route.
Now you can safely merge two ActiveRecord relations both having a JOIN. Previously, that would to query with LEFT OUTER JOIN instead of INNER JOIN.
That's it for this week, as always, we couldn't cover all of the changes, but feel free to check all the commits from this week.

Until next week! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹
