Safety checks to prevent database writes, cache performance boost and more

Cheers for the first day of December! This is Kir bringing you the latest news from the Rails world.

Add ability to block writes to a database

A brand new while_preventing_writes method on Active Record connection allows you to add safety checks for code that's not supposed to write to a database.

Bump the minimum version of PostgreSQL to 9.3

PostgreSQL 9.1 and 9.2 have been declared EOL more than a year ago.
