This Week's Contributors

Apparently I'm not the only one in love with Ruby on Rails. 36 programmers contributed to Rails this week, 10 of them for the first time. Keep loving!

Add http_cache_forever to ActionController

The new method is perfect to cache results that are meant to never expire, such as static pages.

Add ActiveRecord::Type.register

You can now reference with a symbol any database type that is specific to your adapter, such as:
ActiveRecord::Type.register(:money, MyMoneyType)

Add ActiveRecord::Base.suppress

Wrapping a block with suppress will prevent any save operation from hitting the database. Check the PR for a real-world example.

Add :time option to ActiveRecord::Base.touch

You can now touch an ActiveRecord instance with a different time than the current time.

Removed RecordTagHelper

The helpers div_for and content_tag_for will be gone in Rails 5. Grab the record_tag_helper gem if you still need them!

Removed ActiveModel::Errors getters/setters

If you ever used person.errors.get(:name) or person.errors[:name] to read an error message, you should now switch to person.errors.messages[:name]. add_on_empty and add_on_blank are gone too.
