* Fix performance bug with mysql databases on a server with lots of other databses. *GH 3678*
*Christos Zisopoulos and Kenny J*
## Rails 3.1.2 (unreleased) ##
* Fix problem with prepared statements and PostgreSQL when multiple schemas are used.
*GH #3232*
*Juan M. Cuello*
* Fix bug with PostgreSQLAdapter#indexes. When the search path has multiple schemas, spaces
were not being stripped from the schema names after the first.
*Sean Kirby*

modify the conditions of the through and/or source association. If you have experienced
bugs with conditions appearing in the wrong queries when using nested through associations,
this probably solves your problems. *GH #3271*
*Jon Leighton*
* If a record is removed from a has_many :through, all of the join records relating to that
record should also be removed from the through association's target.

*Kenny J*
## Rails 3.1.1 (October 7, 2011) ##
* Raise an exception if the primary key of a model in an association is needed
but unknown. Fixes#3207.
*Jon Leighton*
* Add deprecation for the preload_associations method. Fixes#3022.
*Jon Leighton*
* Don't require a DB connection when loading a model that uses set_primary_key. GH #2807.
*Jon Leighton*
* Fix using select() with a habtm association, e.g. Person.friends.select(:name). GH #3030 and
\#2923.
*Hendy Tanata*
* Fix belongs_to polymorphic with custom primary key on target. GH #3104.
*Jon Leighton*
* CollectionProxy#replace should change the DB records rather than just mutating the array.
Fixes#3020.
*Jon Leighton*
* LRU cache in mysql and sqlite are now per-process caches.
* lib/active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb: LRU cache
keys are per process id.
* lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite_adapter.rb: ditto
*Aaron Patterson*
* Database adapters use a statement pool for limiting the number of open
prepared statments on the database. The limit defaults to 1000, but can
be adjusted in your database config by changing 'statement_limit'.
* Fix clash between using 'preload', 'joins' or 'eager_load' in a default scope and including the
default scoped model in a nested through association. (GH #2834.) *Jon Leighton*
* Ensure we are not comparing a string with a symbol in HasManyAssociation#inverse_updates_counter_cache?.
Fixes GH #2755, where a counter cache could be decremented twice as far as it was supposed to be.
*Jon Leighton*
* Don't send any queries to the database when the foreign key of a belongs_to is nil. Fixes
GH #2828. *Georg Friedrich*
* Fixed find_in_batches method to not include order from default_scope. See GH #2832 *Arun Agrawal*
* Don't compute table name for abstract classes. Fixes problem with setting the primary key
in an abstract class. See GH #2791. *Akira Matsuda*
* Psych errors with poor yaml formatting are proxied. Fixes GH #2645 and
GH #2731
* Use the LIMIT word with the methods #last and #first. Fixes GH #2783 *Damien Mathieu*
## Rails 3.1.0 (August 30, 2011) ##
* Add a proxy_association method to association proxies, which can be called by association
extensions to access information about the association. This replaces proxy_owner etc with
proxy_association.owner.
*Jon Leighton*
* Active Record's dynamic finder will now show a deprecation warning if you passing in less number of arguments than what you call in method signature. This behavior will raise ArgumentError in the next version of Rails *Prem Sichanugrist*
* Deprecated the AssociationCollection constant. CollectionProxy is now the appropriate constant
to use, though be warned that this is not really a public API.
This should solve upgrade problems with the will_paginate plugin (and perhaps others). Thanks
Paul Battley for reporting.
*Jon Leighton*
* ActiveRecord::MacroReflection::AssociationReflection#build_record has a new method signature.
Before: def build_association(*options)
After: def build_association(*options, &block)
Users who are redefining this method to extend functionality should ensure that the block is
passed through to ActiveRecord::Base#new.
This change is necessary to fix https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/1842.
A deprecation warning and workaround has been added to 3.1, but authors will need to update
their code for it to work correctly in 3.2.
*Jon Leighton*
* AR#pluralize_table_names can be used to singularize/pluralize table name of an individual model:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
self.pluralize_table_names = false
end
Previously this could only be set globally for all models through ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names. *Guillermo Iguaran*
* Add block setting of attributes to singular associations:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :account
end
user.build_account{ |a| a.credit_limit => 100.0 }
The block is called after the instance has been initialized. *Andrew White*
* Add ActiveRecord::Base.attribute_names to return a list of attribute names. This will return an empty array if the model is abstract or table does not exists. *Prem Sichanugrist*
* CSV Fixtures are deprecated and support will be removed in Rails 3.2.0
* AR#new, AR#create, AR#create!, AR#update_attributes and AR#update_attributes! all accept a second hash as option that allows you
to specify which role to consider when assigning attributes. This is built on top of ActiveModel's
new mass assignment capabilities:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :title
attr_accessible :title, :published_at, :as => :admin
end
Post.new(params[:post], :as => :admin)
assign_attributes() with similar API was also added and attributes=(params, guard) was deprecated.
Please note that this changes the method signatures for AR#new, AR#create, AR#create!, AR#update_attributes and AR#update_attributes!. If you have overwritten these methods you should update them accordingly.
*Josh Kalderimis*
* default_scope can take a block, lambda, or any other object which responds to `call` for lazy
evaluation:
default_scope { ... }
default_scope lambda { ... }
default_scope method(:foo)
This feature was originally implemented by Tim Morgan, but was then removed in favour of
defining a 'default_scope' class method, but has now been added back in by Jon Leighton.
The relevant lighthouse ticket is #1812.
* Default scopes are now evaluated at the latest possible moment, to avoid problems where
scopes would be created which would implicitly contain the default scope, which would then
be impossible to get rid of via Model.unscoped.
Note that this means that if you are inspecting the internal structure of an
ActiveRecord::Relation, it will *not* contain the default scope, though the resulting
query will do. You can get a relation containing the default scope by calling
ActiveRecord#with_default_scope, though this is not part of the public API.
*Jon Leighton*
* If you wish to merge default scopes in special ways, it is recommended to define your default
scope as a class method and use the standard techniques for sharing code (inheritance, mixins,
etc.):
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.default_scope
where(:published => true).where(:hidden => false)
end
end
*Jon Leighton*
* PostgreSQL adapter only supports PostgreSQL version 8.2 and higher.
* ConnectionManagement middleware is changed to clean up the connection pool
after the rack body has been flushed.
* Added an update_column method on ActiveRecord. This new method updates a given attribute on an object, skipping validations and callbacks.
It is recommended to use #update_attribute unless you are sure you do not want to execute any callback, including the modification of
the updated_at column. It should not be called on new records.
Example:
User.first.update_column(:name, "sebastian") # => true
*Sebastian Martinez*
* Associations with a :through option can now use *any* association as the
through or source association, including other associations which have a
:through option and has_and_belongs_to_many associations
*Jon Leighton*
* The configuration for the current database connection is now accessible via
ActiveRecord::Base.connection_config. *fxn*
* limits and offsets are removed from COUNT queries unless both are supplied.
For example:
People.limit(1).count # => 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM people'
People.offset(1).count # => 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM people'
People.limit(1).offset(1).count # => 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM people LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1'
*lighthouse #6262*
* ActiveRecord::Associations::AssociationProxy has been split. There is now an Association class
(and subclasses) which are responsible for operating on associations, and then a separate,
thin wrapper called CollectionProxy, which proxies collection associations.
This prevents namespace pollution, separates concerns, and will allow further refactorings.
Singular associations (has_one, belongs_to) no longer have a proxy at all. They simply return
the associated record or nil. This means that you should not use undocumented methods such
as bob.mother.create - use bob.create_mother instead.
*Jon Leighton*
* Make has_many :through associations work correctly when you build a record and then save it. This
requires you to set the :inverse_of option on the source reflection on the join model, like so:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :taggings
has_many :tags, :through => :taggings
end
class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :post
belongs_to :tag, :inverse_of => :tagging # :inverse_of must be set!
end
class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :taggings
has_many :posts, :through => :taggings
end
post = Post.first
tag = post.tags.build :name => "ruby"
tag.save # will save a Taggable linking to the post
*Jon Leighton*
* Support the :dependent option on has_many :through associations. For historical and practical
reasons, :delete_all is the default deletion strategy employed by association.delete(*records),
despite the fact that the default strategy is :nullify for regular has_many. Also, this only
works at all if the source reflection is a belongs_to. For other situations, you should directly
modify the through association.
*Jon Leighton*
* Changed the behaviour of association.destroy for has_and_belongs_to_many and has_many :through.
From now on, 'destroy' or 'delete' on an association will be taken to mean 'get rid of the link',
not (necessarily) 'get rid of the associated records'.
Previously, has_and_belongs_to_many.destroy(*records) would destroy the records themselves. It
would not delete any records in the join table. Now, it deletes the records in the join table.
Previously, has_many_through.destroy(*records) would destroy the records themselves, and the
records in the join table. [Note: This has not always been the case; previous version of Rails
only deleted the records themselves.] Now, it destroys only the records in the join table.
Note that this change is backwards-incompatible to an extent, but there is unfortunately no
way to 'deprecate' it before changing it. The change is being made in order to have
consistency as to the meaning of 'destroy' or 'delete' across the different types of associations.
If you wish to destroy the records themselves, you can do records.association.each(&:destroy)
*Jon Leighton*
* Add :bulk => true option to change_table to make all the schema changes defined in change_table block using a single ALTER statement. *Pratik Naik*
Example:
change_table(:users, :bulk => true) do |t|
t.string :company_name
t.change :birthdate, :datetime
end
This will now result in:
ALTER TABLE `users` ADD COLUMN `company_name` varchar(255), CHANGE `updated_at` `updated_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL
* Removed support for accessing attributes on a has_and_belongs_to_many join table. This has been
documented as deprecated behaviour since April 2006. Please use has_many :through instead.
*Jon Leighton*
* Added a create_association! method for has_one and belongs_to associations. *Jon Leighton*
* Migration files generated from model and constructive migration generators
(for example, add_name_to_users) use the reversible migration's `change`
method instead of the ordinary `up` and `down` methods. *Prem Sichanugrist*
* Removed support for interpolating string SQL conditions on associations. Instead, you should
use a proc, like so:
Before:
has_many :things, :conditions => 'foo = #{bar}'
After:
has_many :things, :conditions => proc { "foo = #{bar}" }
Inside the proc, 'self' is the object which is the owner of the association, unless you are
eager loading the association, in which case 'self' is the class which the association is within.
You can have any "normal" conditions inside the proc, so the following will work too:
has_many :things, :conditions => proc { ["foo = ?", bar] }
Previously :insert_sql and :delete_sql on has_and_belongs_to_many association allowed you to call
'record' to get the record being inserted or deleted. This is now passed as an argument to
the proc.
* Added ActiveRecord::Base#has_secure_password (via ActiveModel::SecurePassword) to encapsulate dead-simple password usage with BCrypt encryption and salting [DHH]. Example:
# Schema: User(name:string, password_digest:string, password_salt:string)
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_secure_password
end
user = User.new(:name => "david", :password => "", :password_confirmation => "nomatch")
user.save # => false, password required
user.password = "mUc3m00RsqyRe"
user.save # => false, confirmation doesn't match
user.password_confirmation = "mUc3m00RsqyRe"
user.save # => true
user.authenticate("notright") # => false
user.authenticate("mUc3m00RsqyRe") # => user
User.find_by_name("david").try(:authenticate, "notright") # => nil
User.find_by_name("david").try(:authenticate, "mUc3m00RsqyRe") # => user
* When a model is generated add_index is added by default for belongs_to or references columns
rails g model post user:belongs_to will generate the following:
class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :posts do |t|
t.belongs_to :user
t.timestamps
end
add_index :posts, :user_id
end
end
*Santiago Pastorino*
* Setting the id of a belongs_to object will update the reference to the
object. *#2989 state:resolved*
* ActiveRecord::Base#dup and ActiveRecord::Base#clone semantics have changed
to closer match normal Ruby dup and clone semantics.
* Calling ActiveRecord::Base#clone will result in a shallow copy of the record,
including copying the frozen state. No callbacks will be called.
* Calling ActiveRecord::Base#dup will duplicate the record, including calling
after initialize hooks. Frozen state will not be copied, and all associations
will be cleared. A duped record will return true for new_record?, have a nil
id field, and is saveable.
* Migrations can be defined as reversible, meaning that the migration system
will figure out how to reverse your migration. To use reversible migrations,
just define the "change" method. For example:
class MyMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table(:horses) do
t.column :content, :text
t.column :remind_at, :datetime
end
end
end
Some things cannot be automatically reversed for you. If you know how to
reverse those things, you should define 'up' and 'down' in your migration. If
you define something in `change` that cannot be reversed, an
IrreversibleMigration exception will be raised when going down.
* Migrations should use instance methods rather than class methods:
class FooMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration
def up
...
end
end
*Aaron Patterson*
* has_one maintains the association with separate after_create/after_update instead
of a single after_save. *fxn*
* The following code:
Model.limit(10).scoping { Model.count }
now generates the following SQL:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM models LIMIT 10
This may not return what you want. Instead, you may with to do something
like this:
Model.limit(10).scoping { Model.all.size }
