-
-## Rails 4.1.9 (January 6, 2015) ##
-
-*   `db:schema:load` and `db:structure:load` no longer purge the database
-    before loading the schema. This is left for the user to do.
-    `db:test:prepare` will still purge the database.
-
-    Closes #17945.
-
-    *Yves Senn*
-
-*   Bring back `db:test:prepare` to synchronize the test database schema.
-
-    Manual synchronization using `bin/rake db:test:prepare` is required
-    when a migration is rolled-back, edited and reapplied.
-
-    `ActiveRecord::Base.maintain_test_schema` now uses `db:test:prepare`
-    to synchronize the schema. Plugins can use this task as a hook to
-    provide custom behavior after the schema has been loaded.
-
-    NOTE: `test:prepare` runs before the schema was synchronized.
-
-    Fixes #17171, #15787.
-
-    *Yves Senn*
-

-
-    *Yves Senn*

-
-## Rails 4.1.8 (November 16, 2014) ##

-*   Fix preloading of associations which unscope a default scope.
-
-    Fixes #11036.

-
-*   Allow included modules to override association methods.
-
-    Fixes #16684.
-
-    *Yves Senn*

-*   Schema loading rake tasks (like `db:schema:load` and `db:setup`) maintain
-    the database connection to the current environment.
-
-    Fixes #16757.
-
-    *Joshua Cody*, *Yves Senn*
-
-*   `db:purge` with MySQL respects `Rails.env`.

-    schema format.
-
-    Fixes #15394.

-
-
-## Rails 4.1.6 (September 11, 2014) ##
-
-*   Fixed a regression where whitespaces were stripped from DISTINCT queries in
-    PostgreSQL.
-
-    *Agis Anastasopoulos*
-
-    Fixes #16623.
-
-*   Fixed an issue where custom accessor methods (such as those generated by
-    `enum`) with the same name as a global method are incorrectly overridden
-    when subclassing.
-
-    Fixes #16288.
-
-*   Baseclass becomes! subclass.
-
-    Before this change, a record which changed its STI type, could not be found when updated.
-    Setting update_record to the base class, ensures the record can be found.
-
-    Fixes #14785.
-
-    *Matthew Draper*, *Earl St Sauver*, *Edo Balvers*
-
-*   Fix regression on after_commit that didnt fire when having nested transactions.
-
-    Fixes #16425.
-
-    *arthurnn*
-
-*   Define `id_was` to get the previous value of the primary key.
-
-    Currently when we call id_was and we have a custom primary key name
-    Active Record will return the current value of the primary key. This
-    make impossible to correctly do an update operation if you change the
-    id.
-
-    Fixes #16413.
-
-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
-
-*   Fix the schema dump generated for tables without constraints and with
-    primary key with default value of custom PostgreSQL function result.
-
-    Fixes #16111.
-
-    *Andrey Novikov*
-
-*   Restore 4.0 behavior for using serialize attributes with `JSON` as coder.
-
-    With 4.1.x, `serialize` started returning a string when `JSON` was passed as
-    the second attribute. It will now return a hash as per previous versions.
-
-    Example:
-
-        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-          serialize :comment, JSON
-        end
-
-        class Comment
-          include ActiveModel::Model
-          attr_accessor :category, :text
-        end
-
-        post = Post.create!
-        post.comment = Comment.new(category: "Animals", text: "This is a comment about squirrels.")
-        post.save!
-
-        # 4.0
-        post.comment # => {"category"=>"Animals", "text"=>"This is a comment about squirrels."}
-
-        # 4.1 before
-        post.comment # => "#<Comment:0x007f80ab48ff98>"
-
-        # 4.1 after
-        post.comment # => {"category"=>"Animals", "text"=>"This is a comment about squirrels."}
-
-    When using `JSON` as the coder in `serialize`, Active Record will use the
-    new `ActiveRecord::Coders::JSON` coder which delegates its `dump/load` to
-    `ActiveSupport::JSON.encode/decode`. This ensures special objects are dumped
-    correctly using the `#as_json` hook.
-
-    To keep the previous behaviour, supply a custom coder instead
-    ([example](https://gist.github.com/jenncoop/8c4142bbe59da77daa63)).
-
-    Fixes #15594.
-
-    *Jenn Cooper*
-
-*   Fixed error in `reset_counters` when associations have `select` scope.
-    (Call to `count` generates invalid SQL.)
-
-    *Cade Truitt*
-
-*   After a successful `reload`, `new_record?` is always false.
-
-    Fixes #12101.
-
-    *Matthew Draper*
-
-*   Correctly extract IPv6 addresses from `DATABASE_URI`: the square brackets
-    are part of the URI structure, not the actual host.
-
-    Fixes #15705.
-
-    *Andy Bakun*, *Aaron Stone*
-
-*   Don't error when quoting user defined types in PostgreSQL.
-
-    Fixes #15697.
-
-    *Sean Griffin*
-
-*   Ensure both parent IDs are set on join records when both sides of a
-    through association are new.
-
-    *Sean Griffin*
-
-*   Pluck now works when selecting columns from different tables with the same
-    name.
-
-    Fixes #15649.
-
-    *Sean Griffin*
-
-*   `ActiveRecord::FinderMethods.find` with block can handle proc parameter as
-    `Enumerable#find` does.
-
-    Fixes #15382.
-
-    *James Yang*
-
-*   `ActiveRecord::SchemaMigration` has no primary key regardless of the
-    `primary_key_prefix_type` configuration.
-
-    Fixes #15051.
-
-    *JoseLuis Torres*, *Yves Senn*
-
-*   `rake db:migrate:status` works with legacy migration numbers like `00018_xyz.rb`.
-
-    Fixes #15538.
-
-    *Yves Senn*
-
-*   Fixed `columns_for_distinct` of postgresql adapter to work correctly
-    with orders without sort direction modifiers.
-
-    *Nikolay Kondratyev*
-
-*   Keep PostgreSQL `hstore` and `json` attributes as `Hash` in `@attributes`.
-    Fixes duplication in combination with `store_accessor`.
-
-    Fixes #15369.
-
-    *Yves Senn*
-
-*   `rake railties:install:migrations` respects the order of railties.

-    Fixes #15480.
+*   No changes.
 
-    *Lauro Caetano*, *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
 
-*   Fix redefine a has_and_belongs_to_many inside inherited class
-    Fixing regression case, where redefining the same has_an_belongs_to_many
-    definition into a subclass would raise.
+## Rails 4.2.11.2 (May 15, 2020) ##
 
-    Fixes #14983.
+*   No changes.
 
-    *arthurnn*
 
-*   Fix has_and_belongs_to_many public reflection.
-    When defining a has_and_belongs_to_many, internally we convert that to two has_many.
-    But as `reflections` is a public API, people expect to see the right macro.
+## Rails 4.2.11.1 (March 11, 2019) ##
 
-    Fixes #14682.
+*   No changes.
 
-    *arthurnn*
 
-*   Fixed serialization for records with an attribute named `format`.
+## Rails 4.2.11 (November 27, 2018) ##
 
-    Fixes #15188.
+*   No changes.
 
-    *Godfrey Chan*

-    `update_column`.
+## Rails 4.2.10 (September 27, 2017) ##
 
-    *Simon Hørup Eskildsen*
+*   `Relation#joins` is no longer affected by the target model's
+    `current_scope`, with the exception of `unscoped`.
 
-*   When a `group` is set, `sum`, `size`, `average`, `minimum` and `maximum`
-    on a NullRelation should return a Hash.
+    Fixes #29338.
 
-    *Kuldeep Aggarwal*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   Fixed polymorphic eager loading when using a String as foreign key.

+    *Ryuta Kamizono*
 
-    *Eric Chahin*

-    extension names in PostgreSQL when migrating.
+    *Ryuta Kamizono*
 
-    *Joao Carlos*

+*   Fix `wait_timeout` to configurable for mysql2 adapter.
 
-    *Aaron Nelson*
+    Fixes #26556.
 
-*   Fix how to calculate associated class name when using namespaced has_and_belongs_to_many
-    association.
+    *Ryuta Kamizono*
 
-    Fixes #14709.
+*   Make `table_name=` reset current statement cache,
+    so queries are not run against the previous table name.
 
-    *Kassio Borges*
+    *namusyaka*
 
-*   `ActiveRecord::Relation::Merger#filter_binds` now compares equivalent symbols and
-    strings in column names as equal.
 
-    This fixes a rare case in which more bind values are passed than there are
-    placeholders for them in the generated SQL statement, which can make PostgreSQL
-    throw a `StatementInvalid` exception.
+## Rails 4.2.8 (February 21, 2017) ##
 
-    *Nat Budin*
+*   Using a mysql2 connection after it fails to reconnect will now have an error message
+    saying the connection is closed rather than an undefined method error message.

-    attributes defined in parent classes.

+*   Fix query caching when type information is reset
 
-    Fixes #11586.
+    Backports ancillary fix in 5.0.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *James Coleman*
 
-*   Fix `PostgreSQLAdapter::OID::Float#type_cast` to convert Infinity and
-    NaN PostgreSQL values into a native Ruby `Float::INFINITY` and `Float::NAN`
+*   Allow `joins` to be unscoped.
 
-    Example:
+    Fixes #13775.
 
-        # Before
-        Point.create(value: 1.0/0)
-        Point.last.value # => 0.0
+    *Takashi Kokubun*
 
-        # After
-        Point.create(value: 1.0/0)
-        Point.last.value # => Infinity
+*   Hashes can once again be passed to setters of `composed_of`, if all of the
+    mapping methods are methods implemented on `Hash`.
 
-    *Innokenty Mikhailov*
+    Fixes #25978.
 
-*   Allow the PostgreSQL adapter to handle bigserial primary key types again.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    Fixes #10410.
 
-    *Patrick Robertson*
+## Rails 4.2.7 (July 12, 2016) ##
 
-*   Fixed has_and_belongs_to_many's CollectionAssociation size calculation.
+*   Inspecting an object with an associated array of over 10 elements no longer
+    truncates the array, preventing `inspect` from looping infinitely in some
+    cases.
 
-    has_and_belongs_to_many should fall back to using the normal CollectionAssociation's
-    size calculation if the collection is not cached or loaded.
+    *Kevin McPhillips*
 
-    Fixes #14913 and #14914.
+*   Ensure hashes can be assigned to attributes created using `composed_of`.
+    Fixes #25210.
 
-    *Fred Wu*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   Revert the behaviour of `ActiveRecord::Relation#join` changed through 4.0 => 4.1 to 4.0.
+*   Queries such as `Computer.joins(:monitor).group(:status).count` will now be
+    interpreted as  `Computer.joins(:monitor).group('computers.status').count`
+    so that when `Computer` and `Monitor` have both `status` columns we don't
+    have conflicts in projection.
 
-    In 4.1.0 `Relation#join` is delegated to `Arel#SelectManager`.
-    In 4.0 series it is delegated to `Array#join`.
+    *Rafael Sales*
 
-    *Bogdan Gusiev*
+*   ActiveRecord::Relation#count: raise an ArgumentError when finder options
+    are specified or an ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid when an invalid type
+    is provided for a column name (e.g. a Hash).
 
-*   Log nil binary column values correctly.
+    Fixes #20434
 
-    When an object with a binary column is updated with a nil value
-    in that column, the SQL logger would throw an exception when trying
-    to log that nil value. This only occurs when updating a record
-    that already has a non-nil value in that column since an initial nil
-    value isn't included in the SQL anyway (at least, when dirty checking
-    is enabled.) The column's new value will now be logged as `<NULL binary data>`
-    to parallel the existing `<N bytes of binary data>` for non-nil values.
+    *Konstantinos Rousis*
 
-    *James Coleman*
+*   Correctly pass MySQL options when using structure_dump or structure_load
 
-*   Stringify all variables keys of MySQL connection configuration.
+    Specifically, it fixes an issue when using SSL authentication.
 
-    When `sql_mode` variable for MySQL adapters set in configuration as `String`
-    was ignored and overwritten by strict mode option.
+    *Alex Coomans*
 
-    Fixes #14895.
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+## Rails 4.2.6 (March 07, 2016) ##
 
-*   Ensure SQLite3 statements are closed on errors.
+*   Fix a bug where using `t.foreign_key` twice with the same `to_table` within
+    the same table definition would only create one foreign key.
 
-    Fixes #13631.
+    *George Millo*
 
-    *Timur Alperovich*
+*   Fix regression in dirty attribute tracking after #dup.  Changes to the
+    clone no longer show as changed attributes in the original object.
 
-*   Fix excluding lower bounds of PostgreSQL date and int ranges.
+    *Dominic Cleal*
 
-    *River MacLeod*, *Yves Senn*
+*   Fix regression when loading fixture files with symbol keys.
 
-*   When using a custom `join_table` name on a `habtm`, rails was not saving it
-    on Reflections. This causes a problem when rails loads fixtures, because it
-    uses the reflections to set database with fixtures.
+    Closes #22584.
 
-    Fixes #14845.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Kassio Borges*
+*   Fix `rake db:structure:dump` on Postgres when multiple schemas are used.
 
-*   `ActiveRecord::Base.no_touching` no longer triggers callbacks or start empty transactions.
+    Fixes #22346.
 
-    Fixes #14841.
+    *Nick Muerdter*, *ckoenig*
 
-    *Lucas Mazza*
+*   Introduce `connection.data_sources` and `connection.data_source_exists?`.
+    These methods determine what relations can be used to back Active Record
+    models (usually tables and views).
 
-*   Fix name collision with `Array#select!` with `Relation#select!`.
+    *Yves Senn*, *Matthew Draper*
 
-    Fixes #14752.
 
-    *Earl St Sauver*
+## Rails 4.2.5.2 (February 26, 2016) ##
 
-*   Fixed unexpected behavior for `has_many :through` associations going through a scoped `has_many`.
+*   No changes.
 
-    If a `has_many` association is adjusted using a scope, and another `has_many :through`
-    uses this association, then the scope adjustment is unexpectedly neglected.
 
-    Fixes #14537.
+## Rails 4.2.5.1 (January 25, 2015) ##
 
-    *Jan Habermann*
+*   No changes.
 
-*   When a destroyed record is duped, the dup is not `destroyed?`.
 
-    *Kuldeep Aggarwal*
+## Rails 4.2.5 (November 12, 2015) ##
 
-*   Fixed has_many association to make it support irregular inflections.
+*   No longer pass deprecated option `-i` to `pg_dump`.
 
-    Fixes #8928.
+    *Paul Sadauskas*
 
-    *arthurnn*, *Javier Goizueta*
+*   Set `scope.reordering_value` to `true` if :reordering values are specified.
 
-*   Calling `delete_all` on an unloaded `CollectionProxy` no longer
-    generates a SQL statement containing each id of the collection:
+    Fixes #21886.
 
-    Before:
+    *Hiroaki Izu*
 
-        DELETE FROM `model` WHERE `model`.`parent_id` = 1
-        AND `model`.`id` IN (1, 2, 3...)
+*   Avoid disabling errors on the PostgreSQL connection when enabling the
+    standard_conforming_strings setting. Errors were previously disabled because
+    the setting wasn't writable in Postgres 8.1 and didn't exist in earlier
+    versions. Now Rails only supports Postgres 8.2+ we're fine to assume the
+    setting exists. Disabling errors caused problems when using a connection
+    pooling tool like PgBouncer because it's not guaranteed to have the same
+    connection between calls to `execute` and it could leave the connection
+    with errors disabled.
 
-    After:
+    Fixes #22101.
 
-        DELETE FROM `model` WHERE `model`.`parent_id` = 1
+    *Harry Marr*
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *Aaron Patterson*
+*   Includes HABTM returns correct size now. It's caused by the join dependency
+    only instantiates one HABTM object because the join table hasn't a primary key.
 
-*   Fixed a problem where count used with a grouping was not returning a Hash.
+    Fixes #16032.
 
-    Fixes #14721.
+    Examples:
 
-    *Eric Chahin*
+        before:
 
-*   Do not quote uuid default value on `change_column`.
+        Project.first.salaried_developers.size # => 3
+        Project.includes(:salaried_developers).first.salaried_developers.size # => 1
 
-    Fixes #14604.
+        after:
 
-    *Eric Chahin*
+        Project.first.salaried_developers.size # => 3
+        Project.includes(:salaried_developers).first.salaried_developers.size # => 3
 
-*   The comparison between `Relation` and `CollectionProxy` should be consistent.
+    *Bigxiang*
 
-    Example:
+*   Descriptive error message when fixtures contain a missing column.
 
-        author.posts == Post.where(author_id: author.id)
-        # => true
-        Post.where(author_id: author.id) == author.posts
-        # => true
+    Closes #21201.
 
-    Fixes #13506.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Lauro Caetano*
+*   `bin/rake db:migrate` uses
+    `ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.migrations_paths` instead of
+    `Migrator.migrations_paths`.
 
-*   PostgreSQL adapter only warns once for every missing OID per connection.
+    *Tobias Bielohlawek*
 
-    Fixes #14275.
+*   Fix `rewhere` in a `has_many` association.
 
-    *Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
+    Fixes #21955.
 
-*   Fixed error for aggregate methods (`empty?`, `any?`, `count`) with `select`
-    which created invalid SQL.
+    *Josh Branchaud*, *Kal*
 
-    Fixes #13648.
+*   Added run_cmd class method to ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks for
+    drying up Kernel.system() calls within this namespace and to avoid
+    shell expansion by using a paramter list instead of string as arguments
+    for Kernel.system(). Thanks to Nate Berkopec for supply patch to get
+    test units passing.
 
-    *Simon Woker*
+    *Bryan Paxton*
 
-*   Fix insertion of records via `has_many :through` association with scope.
+*   Avoid leaking the first relation we call `first` on, per model.
 
-    Fixes #3548.
+    Fixes #21921.
 
-    *Ivan Antropov*
+    *Matthew Draper*, *Jean Boussier*
 
-*   Make possible to have an association called `records`.
+*   Allow deserialization of Active Record models that were YAML encoded prior
+    to Rails 4.2
 
-    Fixes #11645.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    *prathamesh-sonpatki*
+*   Correctly apply `unscope` when preloading through associations.
 
-*   `to_sql` on an association now matches the query that is actually executed, where it
-    could previously have incorrectly accrued additional conditions (e.g. as a result of
-    a previous query). CollectionProxy now always defers to the association scope's
-    `arel` method so the (incorrect) inherited one should be entirely concealed.
+    *Jimmy Bourassa*
 
-    Fixes #14003.
+*   Ensure `select` quotes aliased attributes, even when using `from`.
 
-    *Jefferson Lai*
+    Fixes #21488
 
-*   Fixed error when using `with_options` with lambda.
+    *Sean Griffin & @johanlunds*
 
-    Fixes #9805.
+*   Correct query for PostgreSQL 8.2 compatibility.
 
-    *Lauro Caetano*
+    *Ben Murphy*, *Matthew Draper*
 
-*   Fixed error when specifying a non-empty default value on a PostgreSQL array column.
+*   Uniqueness validator raises descriptive error when running on a persisted
+    record without primary key.
 
-    Fixes #10613.
+    Closes #21304.
 
-    *Luke Steensen*
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Fixed error where .persisted? throws SystemStackError for an unsaved model with a
-    custom primary key that didn't save due to validation error.
 
-    Fixes #14393.
+## Rails 4.2.4 (August 24, 2015) ##
 
-    *Chris Finne*
+*   Skip statement cache on through association reader.
 
-*   `rake db:structure:dump` only dumps schema information if the schema
-    migration table exists.
+    If the through class has default scopes we should skip the statement
+    cache.
 
-    Fixes #14217.
+    Closes #20745.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Add support for `Relation` be passed as parameter on `QueryCache#select_all`.
+*   Fixes #19420. When generating schema.rb using Postgres BigInt[] data type
+    the limit: 8 was not coming through. This caused it to become Int[] data type
+    after doing a rebuild off of schema.rb.
 
-    Fixes #14361.
+    *Jake Waller*
 
-    *arthurnn*
+*   Fix state being carried over from previous transaction.
 
-*   Only save `has_one` associations if record has changes. Previously after save
-    related callbacks, such as `#after_commit`, were triggered when the
-    `has_one` object did not get saved to the db.
+    Considering the following example where `name` is a required attribute.
+    Before we had `new_record?` returning `true` for a persisted record:
 
-    *Alan Kennedy*
+        author = Author.create! name: 'foo'
+        author.name = nil
+        author.save        # => false
+        author.new_record? # => true
 
+    Fixes #20824.
 
-## Rails 4.1.1 (May 6, 2014) ##
+    *Roque Pinel*
 
-*   No changes.
+*   Correctly ignore `mark_for_destruction` when `autosave` isn't set to `true`
+    when validating associations.
 
+    Fixes #20882.
 
-## Rails 4.1.0 (April 8, 2014) ##
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   Fixed a problem where an enum would overwrite values of another enum
-    with the same name in an unrelated class.
+*   Fix through associations using scopes having the scope merged multiple
+    times.
 
-    Fixes #14607.
+    Fixes #20721.
+    Fixes #20727.
 
-    *Evan Whalen*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
+*   `ActiveRecord::Base.dump_schema_after_migration` applies migration tasks
+    other than `db:migrate`. (eg. `db:rollback`, `db:migrate:dup`, ...)
 
-*   Block a few default Class methods as scope name.
+    Fixes #20743.
 
-    For instance, this will raise:
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-        scope :public, -> { where(status: 1) }
+*   Correctly raise `ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch` when assigning
+    a wrong type to a namespaced association.
 
-    *arthurnn*
+    Fixes #20545.
 
-*   Deprecate SQLite database URLs containing an
-    authority.
+    *Diego Carrion*
 
-    The current "correct" spellings for in-memory, relative, and
-    absolute URLs, respectively, are:
+*   Prevent error when using `force_reload: true` on an unassigned polymorphic
+    belongs_to association.
 
-        sqlite3::memory:
-        sqlite3:relative/path
-        sqlite3:/full/path
+    Fixes #20426.
 
-    The previous spelling (`sqlite3:///relative/path`) continues to work
-    as it did in Rails 4.0, but with a deprecation warning: in the next
-    release, that spelling will instead be interpreted as an absolute
-    path.
+    *James Dabbs*
 
-    *Matthew Draper*
 
-*   `where.not` adds `references` for `includes` like normal `where` calls do.
+## Rails 4.2.3 (June 25, 2015) ##
 
-    Fixes #14406.
+*   Let `WITH` queries (Common Table Expressions) be explainable.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *Vladimir Kochnev*
 
-*   `includes` is able to detect the right preloading strategy when string
-    joins are involved.
+*   Fix n+1 query problem when eager loading nil associations (fixes #18312)
 
-    Fixes #14109.
+    *Sammy Larbi*
 
-    *Aaron Patterson*, *Yves Senn*
+*   Fixed an error which would occur in dirty checking when calling
+    `update_attributes` from a getter.
 
-*   Fixed error with validation with enum fields for records where the
-    value for any enum attribute is always evaluated as 0 during
-    uniqueness validation.
+    Fixes #20531.
 
-    Fixes #14172.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    *Vilius Luneckas* *Ahmed AbouElhamayed*
+*   Ensure symbols passed to `ActiveRecord::Relation#select` are always treated
+    as columns.
 
-*   `before_add` callbacks are fired before the record is saved on
-    `has_and_belongs_to_many` assocations *and* on `has_many :through`
-    associations.  Before this change, `before_add` callbacks would be fired
-    before the record was saved on `has_and_belongs_to_many` associations, but
-    *not* on `has_many :through` associations.
+    Fixes #20360.
 
-    Fixes #14144.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   Fixed STI classes not defining an attribute method if there is a
-    conflicting private method defined on its ancestors.
+*   Clear query cache when `ActiveRecord::Base#reload` is called.
 
-    Fixes #11569.
+    *Shane Hender*
 
-    *Godfrey Chan*
+*   Pass `:extend` option for `has_and_belongs_to_many` associations to the
+    underlying `has_many :through`.
 
-*   Default scopes are no longer overriden by chained conditions.
+    *Jaehyun Shin*
 
-    Before this change when you defined a `default_scope` in a model
-    it was overriden by chained conditions in the same field. Now it
-    is merged like any other scope.
+*   Make `unscope` aware of "less than" and "greater than" conditions.
 
-    Before:
+    *TAKAHASHI Kazuaki*
 
-        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-          default_scope { where state: 'pending' }
-          scope :active, -> { where state: 'active' }
-          scope :inactive, -> { where state: 'inactive' }
-        end
+*   Revert behavior of `db:schema:load` back to loading the full
+    environment. This ensures that initializers are run.
 
-        User.all
-        # SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'pending'
+    Fixes #19545.
 
-        User.active
-        # SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'active'
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-        User.where(state: 'inactive')
-        # SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'inactive'
+*   Fix missing index when using `timestamps` with the `index` option.
 
-    After:
+    The `index` option used with `timestamps` should be passed to both
+    `column` definitions for `created_at` and `updated_at` rather than just
+    the first.
 
-        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-          default_scope { where state: 'pending' }
-          scope :active, -> { where state: 'active' }
-          scope :inactive, -> { where state: 'inactive' }
-        end
+    *Paul Mucur*
 
-        User.all
-        # SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'pending'
+*   Rename `:class` to `:anonymous_class` in association options.
 
-        User.active
-        # SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'pending' AND "users"."state" = 'active'
+    Fixes #19659.
 
-        User.where(state: 'inactive')
-        # SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'pending' AND "users"."state" = 'inactive'
+    *Andrew White*
 
-    To get the previous behavior it is needed to explicitly remove the
-    `default_scope` condition using `unscoped`, `unscope`, `rewhere` or
-    `except`.
+*   Fixed a bug where uniqueness validations would error on out of range values,
+    even if an validation should have prevented it from hitting the database.
 
-    Example:
+    *Andrey Voronkov*
 
-        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-          default_scope { where state: 'pending' }
-          scope :active, -> { unscope(where: :state).where(state: 'active') }
-          scope :inactive, -> { rewhere state: 'inactive' }
-        end
+*   Foreign key related methods in the migration DSL respect
+    `ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names = false`.
 
-        User.all
-        # SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'pending'
+    Fixes #19643.
 
-        User.active
-        # SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'active'
+    *Mehmet Emin İNAÇ*
 
-        User.inactive
-        # SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."state" = 'inactive'
+*   Reduce memory usage from loading types on pg.
 
-*   Perform necessary deeper encoding when hstore is inside an array.
+    Fixes #19578.
 
-    Fixes #11135.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    *Josh Goodall*, *Genadi Samokovarov*
+*   Fix referencing wrong table aliases while joining tables of has many through
+    association (only when calling calculation methods).
 
-*   Properly detect if a connection is still active before using it
-    in multi-threaded environments.
+    Fixes #19276.
 
-    Fixes #12867.
+    *pinglamb*
 
-    *Kevin Casey*, *Matthew Draper*, *William (B.J.) Snow Orvis*
+*   Don't attempt to update counter caches, when the column wasn't selected.
 
-*   When inverting add_index use the index name if present instead of
-    the columns.
+    Fixes #19437.
 
-    If there are two indices with matching columns and one of them is
-    explicitly named then reverting the migration adding the named one
-    would instead drop the unnamed one.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    The inversion of add_index will now drop the index by its name if
-    it is present.
+*   Correctly persist a serialized attribute that has been returned to
+    its default value by an in-place modification.
 
-    *Hubert Dąbrowski*
+    Fixes #19467.
 
-*   Add flag to disable schema dump after migration.
+    *Matthew Draper*
 
-    Add a config parameter on Active Record named `dump_schema_after_migration`
-    which is true by default. Now schema dump does not happen at the
-    end of migration rake task if `dump_schema_after_migration` is false.
+*   Fix default `format` value in `ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks#schema_file`.
 
-    *Emil Soman*
+    *James Cox*
 
-*   `find_in_batches`, `find_each`, `Result#each` and `Enumerable#index_by` now
-    return an `Enumerator` that can calculate its size.
+*   Dont enroll records in the transaction if they dont have commit callbacks.
+    That was causing a memory grow problem when creating a lot of records inside a transaction.
 
-    See also #13938.
+    Fixes #15549.
 
-    *Marc-André Lafortune*
+    *Will Bryant*, *Aaron Patterson*
 
-*   Make sure transaction state gets reset after a commit operation on the record.
+*   Correctly create through records when created on a has many through
+    association when using `where`.
 
-    If a new transaction was open inside a callback, the record was loosing track
-    of the transaction level state, and it was leaking that state.
+    Fixes #19073.
 
-    Fixes #12566.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    *arthurnn*
 
-*   Pass `has_and_belongs_to_many` `:autosave` option to
-    the underlying `has_many :through` association.
+## Rails 4.2.2 (June 16, 2015) ##
 
-    Fixes #13923.
+* No Changes *
 
-    *Yves Senn*
 
-*   PostgreSQL implementation of `SchemaStatements#index_name_exists?`.
+## Rails 4.2.1 (March 19, 2015) ##
 
-    The database agnostic implementation does not detect with indexes that are
-    not supported by the ActiveRecord schema dumper. For example, expressions
-    indexes would not be detected.
+*   Fixed ActiveRecord::Relation#becomes! and changed_attributes issues for type column
 
-    Fixes #11018.
+    Fixes #17139.
 
-    *Jonathan Baudanza*
+    *Miklos Fazekas*
 
-*   Parsing PostgreSQL arrays with empty strings now works correctly.
+*   `remove_reference` with `foreign_key: true` removes the foreign key before
+    removing the column. This fixes a bug where it was not possible to remove
+    the column on MySQL.
 
-    Previously, if you tried to parse `{"1","","2","","3"}` the result
-    would be `["1","2","3"]`, removing the empty strings from the array,
-    which would be incorrect. Now it will correctly produce `["1","","2","","3"]`
-    as the result of parsing the above PostgreSQL array.
+    Fixes #18664.
 
-    Fixes #13907.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Maurício Linhares*
+*   Add a `:foreign_key` option to `references` and associated migration
+    methods. The model and migration generators now use this option, rather than
+    the `add_foreign_key` form.
 
-*   Associations now raise `ArgumentError` on name conflicts.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    Dangerous association names conflicts include instance or class methods already
-    defined by `ActiveRecord::Base`.
+*   Fix rounding problem for PostgreSQL timestamp column.
 
-    Example:
+    If timestamp column have the precision, it need to format according to
+    the precision of timestamp column.
 
-        class Car < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_many :errors
-        end
-        # Will raise ArgumentError.
+    *Ryuta Kamizono*
 
-    Fixes #13217.
+*   Respect the database default charset for `schema_migrations` table.
 
-    *Lauro Caetano*
+    The charset of `version` column in `schema_migrations` table is depend
+    on the database default charset and collation rather than the encoding
+    of the connection.
 
-*   Fix regressions on `select_*` methods.
-    When `select_*` methods receive a `Relation` object, they should be able to
-    get the arel/binds from it.
-    Also fix regressions on `select_rows` that was ignoring the binds.
+    *Ryuta Kamizono*
 
-    Fixes #7538, #12017, #13731, #12056.
+*   Respect custom primary keys for associations when calling `Relation#where`
 
-    *arthurnn*
+    Fixes #18813.
 
-*   Active Record objects can now be correctly dumped, loaded and dumped again
-    without issues.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    Previously, if you did `YAML.dump`, `YAML.load` and then `YAML.dump` again
-    in an Active Record model that used serialization it would fail at the last
-    dump due to the fields not being correctly serialized before being dumped
-    to YAML. Now it is possible to dump and load the same object as many times
-    as needed without any issues.
+*   Fixed several edge cases which could result in a counter cache updating
+    twice or not updating at all for `has_many` and `has_many :through`.
 
-    Fixes #13861.
+    Fixes #10865.
 
-    *Maurício Linhares*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   `find_in_batches` now returns an `Enumerator` when called without a block, so that it
-    can be chained with other `Enumerable` methods.
+*   Foreign keys added by migrations were given random, generated names. This
+    meant a different `structure.sql` would be generated every time a developer
+    ran migrations on their machine.
 
-    *Marc-André Lafortune*
+    The generated part of foreign key names is now a hash of the table name and
+    column name, which is consistent every time you run the migration.
 
-*   `enum` now raises on "dangerous" name conflicts.
+    *Chris Sinjakli*
 
-    Dangerous name conflicts includes instance or class method conflicts
-    with methods defined within `ActiveRecord::Base` but not its ancestors,
-    as well as conflicts with methods generated by other enums on the same
-    class.
+*   Fixed ActiveRecord::Relation#group method when argument is SQL reserved key word:
 
-    Fixes #13389.
+      SplitTest.group(:key).count
+      Property.group(:value).count
 
-    *Godfrey Chan*
+    *Bogdan Gusiev*
 
-*   `scope` now raises on "dangerous" name conflicts.
+*   Don't define autosave association callbacks twice from
+    `accepts_nested_attributes_for`.
 
-    Similar to dangerous attribute methods, a scope name conflict is
-    dangerous if it conflicts with an existing class method defined within
-    `ActiveRecord::Base` but not its ancestors.
+    Fixes #18704.
 
-    See also #13389.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    *Godfrey Chan*, *Philippe Creux*
+*   Integer types will no longer raise a `RangeError` when assigning an
+    attribute, but will instead raise when going to the database.
 
-*   Correctly send an user provided statement to a `lock!()` call.
+    Fixes several vague issues which were never reported directly. See the
+    commit message from the commit which added this line for some examples.
 
-        person.lock! 'FOR SHARE NOWAIT'
-        # Before: SELECT * ... LIMIT 1 FOR UPDATE
-        # After: SELECT * ... LIMIT 1 FOR SHARE NOWAIT
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    Fixes #13788.
+*   Values which would error while being sent to the database (such as an
+    ASCII-8BIT string with invalid UTF-8 bytes on Sqlite3), no longer error on
+    assignment. They will still error when sent to the database, but you are
+    given the ability to re-assign it to a valid value.
 
-    *Maurício Linhares*
+    Fixes #18580.

-    *Tsutomu Kuroda*
+*   Don't remove join dependencies in `Relation#exists?`
 
-*   Reset the collection association when calling `reset` on it.

-    Before:
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-        post.comments.loaded? # => true
-        post.comments.reset
-        post.comments.loaded? # => true

-    Fixes #13777.
+*   No longer issue deprecation warning when including a scope with extensions.
+    Previously every scope with extension methods was transformed into an
+    instance dependent scope. Including such a scope would wrongfully issue a
+    deprecation warning. This is no longer the case.
 
-    *Kelsey Schlarman*
+    Fixes #18467.
 
-*   Make enum fields work as expected with the `ActiveModel::Dirty` API.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    Before this change, using the dirty API would have surprising results:
+*   Correctly use the type provided by `serialize` when updating records using
+    optimistic locking.
 
-        conversation = Conversation.new
-        conversation.status = :active
-        conversation.status = :archived
-        conversation.status_was # => 0
+    Fixes #18385.
 
-    After this change, the same code would result in:
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-        conversation = Conversation.new
-        conversation.status = :active
-        conversation.status = :archived
-        conversation.status_was # => "active"

-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
+    Fixes #18407.
 
-*   `has_one` and `belongs_to` accessors don't add ORDER BY to the queries
-    anymore.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    Since Rails 4.0, we add an ORDER BY in the `first` method to ensure
-    consistent results among different database engines. But for singular
-    associations this behavior is not needed since we will have one record to
-    return. As this ORDER BY option can lead some performance issues we are
-    removing it for singular associations accessors.
+*   Format the datetime string according to the precision of the datetime field.

+    Incompatible to rounding behavior between MySQL 5.6 and earlier.
 
-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
+    In 5.5, when you insert `2014-08-17 12:30:00.999999` the fractional part

-*   Fail early with "Primary key not included in the custom select clause"
-    in `find_in_batches`.
+*   Clear query cache on rollback.
 
-    Before this patch, the exception was raised after the first batch was
-    yielded to the block. This means that you only get it, when you hit the
-    `batch_size` treshold. This could shadow the issue in development.

-    The famous ordinal Array instance methods defined in ActiveSupport
-    (`first`, `second`, `third`, `fourth`, and `fifth`) are now available as
-    full-fledged finders in ActiveRecord. The biggest benefit of this is ordering
-    of the records returned now defaults to the table's primary key in ascending order.

-*   Enable partial indexes for `sqlite >= 3.8.0`.
+*   When a table has a composite primary key, the `primary_key` method for
+    SQLite3 and PostgreSQL adapters was only returning the first field of the key.
+    Ensures that it will return nil instead, as Active Record doesn't support
+    composite primary keys.

-*   Don't try to get the subclass if the inheritance column doesn't exist
+*   Ensure `first!` and friends work on loaded associations.
 
-    The `subclass_from_attrs` method is called even if the column specified by
-    the `inheritance_column` setting doesn't exist. This prevents setting associations
-    via the attributes hash if the association name clashes with the value of the setting,
-    typically `:type`. This worked previously in Rails 3.2.

-*   Set `NameError#name` when STI-class-lookup fails.
+## Rails 4.2.0 (December 20, 2014) ##
 
-    *Chulki Lee*
+*   Introduce `force: :cascade` option for `create_table`. Using this option
+    will recreate tables even if they have dependent objects (like foreign keys).
+    `db/schema.rb` now uses `force: :cascade`. This makes it possible to
+    reload the schema when foreign keys are in place.
 
-*   Fix bug in `becomes!` when changing from the base model to a STI sub-class.
+    *Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
 
-    Fixes #13272.
+*   `db:schema:load` and `db:structure:load` no longer purge the database
+    before loading the schema. This is left for the user to do.
+    `db:test:prepare` will still purge the database.
 
-    *the-web-dev*, *Yves Senn*
+    Fixes #17945.
 
-*   Currently Active Record can be configured via the environment variable
-    `DATABASE_URL` or by manually injecting a hash of values which is what Rails does,
-    reading in `database.yml` and setting Active Record appropriately. Active Record
-    expects to be able to use `DATABASE_URL` without the use of Rails, and we cannot
-    rip out this functionality without deprecating. This presents a problem though
-    when both config is set, and a `DATABASE_URL` is present. Currently the
-    `DATABASE_URL` should "win" and none of the values in `database.yml` are
-    used. This is somewhat unexpected, if one were to set values such as
-    `pool` in the `production:` group of `database.yml` they are ignored.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    There are many ways that Active Record initiates a connection today:
+*   Fix undesirable RangeError by Type::Integer. Add Type::UnsignedInteger.
 
-    - Stand Alone (without rails)
-      - `rake db:<tasks>`
-      - `ActiveRecord.establish_connection`
+    *Ryuta Kamizono*
 
-    - With Rails
-      - `rake db:<tasks>`
-      - `rails <server> | <console>`
-      - `rails dbconsole`
+*   Add `foreign_type` option to `has_one` and `has_many` association macros.
 
-    Now all of these behave exactly the same way. The best way to do
-    this is to put all of this logic in one place so it is guaranteed to be used.
+    This option enables to define the column name of associated object's type for polymorphic associations.
 
-    Here is the matrix of how this behavior works:
+    *Ulisses Almeida, Kassio Borges*
 
-    ```
-    No database.yml
-    No DATABASE_URL
-    => Error
-    ```
+*   `add_timestamps` and `remove_timestamps` now properly reversible with
+    options.
 
-    ```
-    database.yml present
-    No DATABASE_URL
-    => Use database.yml configuration
-    ```
+    *Noam Gagliardi-Rabinovich*
 
-    ```
-    No database.yml
-    DATABASE_URL present
-    => use DATABASE_URL configuration
-    ```
+*   Bring back `db:test:prepare` to synchronize the test database schema.
 
-    ```
-    database.yml present
-    DATABASE_URL present
-    => Merged into `url` sub key. If both specify `url` sub key, the `database.yml` `url`
-       sub key "wins". If other paramaters `adapter` or `database` are specified in YAML,
-       they are discarded as the `url` sub key "wins".
-    ```
+    Manual synchronization using `bin/rake db:test:prepare` is required
+    when a migration is rolled-back, edited and reapplied.
 
-    Current implementation uses `ActiveRecord::Base.configurations` to resolve and merge
-    all connection information before returning. This is achieved through a utility
-    class: `ActiveRecord::ConnectionHandling::MergeAndResolveDefaultUrlConfig`.
+    `ActiveRecord::Base.maintain_test_schema` now uses `db:test:prepare`
+    to synchronize the schema. Plugins can use this task as a hook to
+    provide custom behavior after the schema has been loaded.
 
-    To understand the exact behavior of this class, it is best to review the
-    behavior in `activerecord/test/cases/connection_adapters/connection_handler_test.rb`.
+    NOTE: `test:prepare` runs before the schema is synchronized.

+*   Change `reflections` public api to return the keys as String objects.
 
-*   Don't create/drop the test database if RAILS_ENV is specified explicitly.
+    Fixes #16928.
 
-    Previously, when the environment was development, we would always
-    create or drop both the test and development databases.
+    *arthurnn*
 
-    Now, if RAILS_ENV is explicitly defined as development, we don't create
-    the test database.
+*   Renaming a table in pg also renames the primary key index.
 
-    *Damien Mathieu*
+    Fixes #12856
 
-*   Initialize version on Migration objects so that it can be used in a migration,
-    and it will be included in the announce message.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    *Dylan Thacker-Smith*
+*   Make it possible to access fixtures excluded by a `default_scope`.
 
-*   `change_table` now uses the current adapter's `update_table_definition`
-    method to retrieve a specific table definition.
-    This ensures that `change_table` and `create_table` will use
-    similar objects.
+    *Yves Senn*

-    and `ActiveRecord::Base.symbolized_sti_name` without replacement.
+    *Ben Woosley*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   `ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyRecord` now has a descriptive message.
 
-*   Since the `test_help.rb` file in Railties now automatically maintains
-    your test schema, the `rake db:test:*` tasks are deprecated. This
-    doesn't stop you manually running other tasks on your test database
-    if needed:

-    *Vipul A M*, *khustochka*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   Add the ability to nullify the `enum` column.
+*   Queries now properly type cast values that are part of a join statement,
+    even when using type decorators such as `serialize`.
 
-     Example:
+    *Melanie Gilman & Sean Griffin*
 
-         class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
-           enum gender: [:female, :male]
-         end

+    in an endless loop.
 
-         Conversation::GENDER # => { female: 0, male: 1 }
+    Fixes #17402.
 
-         # conversation.update! gender: 0
-         conversation.female!
-         conversation.female? # => true
-         conversation.gender  # => "female"

-         conversation.gender      # => nil
+*   Raise `ArgumentError` when the body of a scope is not callable.
 
-     *Amr Tamimi*
+    *Mauro George*
 
-*   Connection specification now accepts a "url" key. The value of this
-    key is expected to contain a database URL. The database URL will be
-    expanded into a hash and merged.
+*   Use type column first in multi-column indexes created with `add-reference`.
 
-    *Richard Schneeman*
+    *Derek Prior*
 
-*   An `ArgumentError` is now raised on a call to `Relation#where.not(nil)`.
+*   Fix `Relation.rewhere` to work with Range values.
 
-    Example:
+    *Dan Olson*
 
-        User.where.not(nil)
+*   `AR::UnknownAttributeError` now includes the class name of a record.
 
-        # Before
-        # => 'SELECT `users`.* FROM `users`  WHERE (NOT (NULL))'
+        User.new(name: "Yuki Nishijima", project_attributes: {name: "kaminari"})

+    *Yuki Nishijima*
 
-    *Kuldeep Aggarwal*
+*   Fix a regression causing `after_create` callbacks to run before associated

+    Fixes #17209.
 
-    *José Valim*
+    *Agis Anastasopoulos*
 
-*   Fixed `update_column`, `update_columns`, and `update_all` to correctly serialize

+*   Honor overridden `rack.test` in Rack environment for the connection
+    management middleware.
 
-    Fixes #12261.
+    *Simon Eskildsen*
 
-    *Tadas Tamosauskas*, *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+*   Add a truncate method to the connection.
 
-*   Do not consider PostgreSQL array columns as number or text columns.
+    *Aaron Patterson*
 
-    The code uses these checks in several places to know what to do with a
-    particular column, for instance AR attribute query methods has a branch
-    like this:
+*   Don't autosave unchanged has_one through records.
 
-        if column.number?
-          !value.zero?
-        end
+    *Alan Kennedy*, *Steve Parrington*
 
-    This should never be true for array columns, since it would be the same
-    as running [].zero?, which results in a NoMethodError exception.
+*   Do not dump foreign keys for ignored tables.
 
-    Fixing this by ensuring that array columns in PostgreSQL never return
-    true for number?/text? checks.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Carlos Antonio da Silva*
+*   PostgreSQL adapter correctly dumps foreign keys targeting tables
+    outside the schema search path.
 
-*   When connecting to a non-existant database, the error:
-    `ActiveRecord::NoDatabaseError` will now be raised. When being used with Rails
-    the error message will include information on how to create a database:
-    `rake db:create`. Supported adapters: postgresql, mysql, mysql2, sqlite3
+    Fixes #16907.
 
-    *Richard Schneeman*
+    *Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Do not raise `'cannot touch on a new record object'` exception on destroying
-    already destroyed `belongs_to` association with `touch: true` option.
+*   When a thread is killed, rollback the active transaction, instead of
+    committing it during the stack unwind. Previously, we could commit half-
+    completed work. This fix only works for Ruby 2.0+; on 1.9, we can't
+    distinguish a thread kill from an ordinary non-local (block) return, so must
+    default to committing.
 
-    Fixes #13445.
+    *Chris Hanks*
 
-    Example:
+*   A `NullRelation` should represent nothing. This fixes a bug where
+    `Comment.where(post_id: Post.none)` returned a non-empty result.
 
-        # Given Comment has belongs_to :post, touch: true
-        comment.post.destroy
-        comment.destroy # no longer raises an error
+    Fixes #15176.
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+    *Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Fix a bug when assigning an array containing string numbers to a
-    PostgreSQL integer array column.
+*   Include default column limits in schema.rb. Allows defaults to be changed
+    in the future without affecting old migrations that assumed old defaults.
 
-    Fixes #13444.
+    *Jeremy Kemper*
 
-    Example:
+*   MySQL: schema.rb now includes TEXT and BLOB column limits.
 
-        # Given Book#ratings is of type :integer, array: true
-        Book.new(ratings: [1, 2]) # worked before
-        Book.new(ratings: ['1', '2']) # now works as well
+    *Jeremy Kemper*
 
-    *Damien Mathieu*
+*   MySQL: correct LONGTEXT and LONGBLOB limits from 2GB to their true 4GB.
 
-*   Fix `PostgreSQL` insert to properly extract table name from multiline string SQL.
+    *Jeremy Kemper*
 
-    Previously, executing an insert SQL in `PostgreSQL` with a command like this:
+*   SQLite3Adapter now checks for views in `table_exists?`. Fixes #14041.
 
-        insert into articles(
-          number)
-        values(
-          5152
-        )
+    *Girish Sonawane*
 
-    would not work because the adapter was unable to extract the correct `articles`
-    table name.
+*   Introduce `connection.supports_views?` to check whether the current adapter
+    has support for SQL views. Connection adapters should define this method.
 
-    *Kuldeep Aggarwal*
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Correctly escape PostgreSQL arrays.
+*   Allow included modules to override association methods.
 
-    Fixes: CVE-2014-0080
+    Fixes #16684.
 
-*   `Relation` no longer has mutator methods like `#map!` and `#delete_if`. Convert
-    to an `Array` by calling `#to_a` before using these methods.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    It intends to prevent odd bugs and confusion in code that call mutator
-    methods directly on the `Relation`.
+*   Schema loading rake tasks (like `db:schema:load` and `db:setup`) maintain
+    the database connection to the current environment.
 
-    Example:
+    Fixes #16757.
 
-        # Instead of this
-        Author.where(name: 'Hank Moody').compact!
+    *Joshua Cody*, *Yves Senn*

-    *Lauro Caetano*
+    Sets the connection collation to the database collation configured in
+    database.yml. Otherwise, `SET NAMES utf8mb4` will use the default
+    collation for that charset (utf8mb4_general_ci) when you may have chosen
+    a different collation, like utf8mb4_unicode_ci.
 
-*   Better support for `where()` conditions that use a `belongs_to`
-    association name.
+    This only applies to literal string comparisons, not column values, so it
+    is unlikely to affect you.
 
-    Using the name of an association in `where` previously worked only
-    if the value was a single `ActiveRecord::Base` object. e.g.
+    *Jeremy Kemper*
 
-        Post.where(author: Author.first)
+*   `default_sequence_name` from the PostgreSQL adapter returns a `String`.
 
-    Any other values, including `nil`, would cause invalid SQL to be
-    generated. This change supports arguments in the `where` query
-    conditions where the key is a `belongs_to` association name and the
-    value is `nil`, an `Array` of `ActiveRecord::Base` objects, or an
-    `ActiveRecord::Relation` object.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-          belongs_to :author
-        end
+*   Fix a regression where whitespaces were stripped from DISTINCT queries in
+    PostgreSQL.
 
-    `nil` value finds records where the association is not set:
+    *Agis Anastasopoulos*
 
-        Post.where(author: nil)
-        # SELECT "posts".* FROM "posts" WHERE "posts"."author_id" IS NULL
+    Fixes #16623.
 
-    `Array` values find records where the association foreign key
-    matches the ids of the passed ActiveRecord models, resulting
-    in the same query as `Post.where(author_id: [1,2])`:
+*   Fix has_many :through relation merging failing when dynamic conditions are
+    passed as a lambda with an arity of one.
 
-        authors_array = [Author.find(1), Author.find(2)]
-        Post.where(author: authors_array)
-        # SELECT "posts".* FROM "posts" WHERE "posts"."author_id" IN (1, 2)
+    Fixes #16128.
 
-    `ActiveRecord::Relation` values find records using the same
-    query as `Post.where(author_id: Author.where(last_name: "Emde"))`
+    *Agis Anastasopoulos*
 
-        Post.where(author: Author.where(last_name: "Emde"))
-        # SELECT "posts".* FROM "posts"
-        # WHERE "posts"."author_id" IN (
-        #   SELECT "authors"."id" FROM "authors"
-        #   WHERE "authors"."last_name" = 'Emde')
+*   Fix `Relation#exists?` to work with polymorphic associations.
 
-    Polymorphic `belongs_to` associations will continue to be handled
-    appropriately, with the polymorphic `association_type` field added
-    to the query to match the base class of the value. This feature
-    previously only worked when the value was a single `ActveRecord::Base`.
+    Fixes #15821.
 
-        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-          belongs_to :author, polymorphic: true
-        end
+    *Kassio Borges*
 
-        Post.where(author: Author.where(last_name: "Emde"))
-        # Generates a query similar to:
-        Post.where(author_id: Author.where(last_name: "Emde"), author_type: "Author")
+*   Currently, Active Record rescues any errors raised within
+    `after_rollback`/`after_create` callbacks and prints them to the logs.
+    Future versions of Rails will not rescue these errors anymore and
+    just bubble them up like the other callbacks.
 
-    *Martin Emde*
+    This commit adds an opt-in flag to enable not rescuing the errors.
 
-*   Respect temporary option when dropping tables with MySQL.
+    Example:
 
-    Normal DROP TABLE also works, but commits the transaction.
+        # Do not swallow errors in after_commit/after_rollback callbacks.
+        config.active_record.raise_in_transactional_callbacks = true
 
-        drop_table :temporary_table, temporary: true
+    Fixes #13460.
 
-    *Cody Cutrer*
+    *arthurnn*
 
-*   Add option to create tables from a query.
+*   Fix an issue where custom accessor methods (such as those generated by
+    `enum`) with the same name as a global method are incorrectly overridden
+    when subclassing.
 
-        create_table(:long_query, temporary: true,
-          as: "SELECT * FROM orders INNER JOIN line_items ON order_id=orders.id")
+    Fixes #16288.
 
-    Generates:
+    *Godfrey Chan*
 
-        CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE long_query AS
-          SELECT * FROM orders INNER JOIN line_items ON order_id=orders.id
+*   `*_was` and `changes` now work correctly for in-place attribute changes as
+    well.
 
-    *Cody Cutrer*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   `db:test:clone` and `db:test:prepare` must load Rails environment.
+*   Fix regression on `after_commit` that did not fire with nested transactions.
 
-    `db:test:clone` and `db:test:prepare` use `ActiveRecord::Base`. configurations,
-    so we need to load the Rails environment, otherwise the config wont be in place.
+    Fixes #16425.
 
     *arthurnn*
 
-*   Use the right column to type cast grouped calculations with custom expressions.
+*   Do not try to write timestamps when a table has no timestamps columns.
 
-    Fixes #13230.
+    Fixes #8813.
 
-    Example:
+    *Sergey Potapov*
 
-        # Before
-        Account.group(:firm_name).sum('0.01 * credit_limit')
-        # => { '37signals' => '0.5' }
+*   `index_exists?` with `:name` option does verify specified columns.
 
-        # After
-        Account.group(:firm_name).sum('0.01 * credit_limit')
-        # => { '37signals' => 0.5 }
+    Example:
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+        add_index :articles, :title, name: "idx_title"
 
-*   Polymorphic `belongs_to` associations with the `touch: true` option set update the timestamps of
-    the old and new owner correctly when moved between owners of different types.
+        # Before:
+        index_exists? :articles, :title, name: "idx_title" # => `true`
+        index_exists? :articles, :body, name: "idx_title" # => `true`
 
-    Example:
+        # After:
+        index_exists? :articles, :title, name: "idx_title" # => `true`
+        index_exists? :articles, :body, name: "idx_title" # => `false`
 
-        class Rating < ActiveRecord::Base
-          belongs_to :rateable, polymorphic: true, touch: true
-        end
+    *Yves Senn*, *Matthew Draper*
 
-        rating = Rating.create rateable: Song.find(1)
-        rating.update_attributes rateable: Book.find(2) # => timestamps of Song(1) and Book(2) are updated
+*   `add_timestamps` and `t.timestamps` now require you to pass the `:null` option.
+    Not passing the option is deprecated but the default is still `null: true`.
+    With Rails 5 this will change to `null: false`.
 
-    *Severin Schoepke*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   Improve formatting of migration exception messages: make them easier to read
-    with line breaks before/after, and improve the error for pending migrations.
+*   When calling `update_columns` on a record that is not persisted, the error
+    message now reflects whether that object is a new record or has been
+    destroyed.
 
-    *John Bachir*
+    *Lachlan Sylvester*
 
-*   Fix `last` with `offset` to return the proper record instead of always the last one.
+*   Define `id_was` to get the previous value of the primary key.
 
-    Example:
+    Currently when we call `id_was` and we have a custom primary key name,
+    Active Record will return the current value of the primary key. This
+    makes it impossible to correctly do an update operation if you change the
+    id.
 
-        Model.offset(4).last
-        # => returns the 4th record from the end.
+    Fixes #16413.
 
-    Fixes #7441.
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    *kostya*, *Lauro Caetano*
+*   Deprecate `DatabaseTasks.load_schema` to act on the current connection.
+    Use `.load_schema_current` instead. In the future `load_schema` will
+    require the `configuration` to act on as an argument.
 
-*   `type_to_sql` returns a `String` for unmapped columns. This fixes an error
-    when using unmapped PostgreSQL array types.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    Example:
+*   Fix automatic maintaining test schema to properly handle sql structure
+    schema format.
 
-        change_colum :table, :column, :bigint, array: true
+    Fixes #15394.
 
-    Fixes #13146.
+    *Wojciech Wnętrzak*
 
-    *Jens Fahnenbruck*, *Yves Senn*
+*   Fix type casting to Decimal from Float with large precision.
 
-*   Fix `QueryCache` to work with nested blocks, so that it will only clear the existing cache
-    after leaving the outer block instead of clearing it right after the inner block is finished.
+    *Tomohiro Hashidate*
 
-    *Vipul A M*
+*   Deprecate `Reflection#source_macro`
 
-*   The ERB in fixture files is no longer evaluated in the context of the main
-    object. Helper methods used by multiple fixtures should be defined on the
-    class object returned by `ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.context_class`.
+    `Reflection#source_macro` is no longer needed in Active Record
+    source so it has been deprecated. Code that used `source_macro`
+    was removed in #16353.
 
-    *Victor Costan*
+    *Eileen M. Uchtitelle*, *Aaron Patterson*
 
-*   Previously, the `has_one` macro incorrectly accepted the `counter_cache`
-    option, but never actually supported it. Now it will raise an `ArgumentError`
-    when using `has_one` with `counter_cache`.
+*   No verbose backtrace by `db:drop` when database does not exist.
 
-    *Godfrey Chan*
+    Fixes #16295.
 
-*   Implement `rename_index` natively for MySQL >= 5.7.
+    *Kenn Ejima*
 
-    *Cody Cutrer*
+*   Add support for PostgreSQL JSONB.
 
-*   Fix bug when validating the uniqueness of an aliased attribute.

-    Fixes #12402.
+        create_table :posts do |t|
+          t.jsonb :meta_data
+        end
 
-    *Lauro Caetano*
+    *Philippe Creux*, *Chris Teague*
 
-*   Update counter cache on a `has_many` relationship regardless of default scope.
+*   `db:purge` with MySQL respects `Rails.env`.
 
-    Fixes #12952.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Uku Taht*
+*   `change_column_default :table, :column, nil` with PostgreSQL will issue a
+    `DROP DEFAULT` instead of a `DEFAULT NULL` query.
 
-*   `rename_index` adds the new index before removing the old one. This allows to
-    rename indexes on columns with a foreign key and prevents the following error:
+    Fixes #16261.
 
-        Cannot drop index 'index_engines_on_car_id': needed in a foreign key constraint
+    *Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Cody Cutrer*, *Yves Senn*
+*   Allow to specify a type for the foreign key column in `references`
+    and `add_reference`.
 
-*   Raise `ActiveRecord::RecordNotDestroyed` when a replaced child
-    marked with `dependent: destroy` fails to be destroyed.
+    Example:
 
-    Fixes #12812.
+        change_table :vehicle do |t|
+          t.references :station, type: :uuid
+        end
 
-    *Brian Thomas Storti*
+    *Andrey Novikov*, *Łukasz Sarnacki*
 
-*   Fix validation on uniqueness of empty association.
+*   `create_join_table` removes a common prefix when generating the join table.
+    This matches the existing behavior of HABTM associations.
 
-    *Evgeny Li*
+    Fixes #13683.
 
-*   Make `ActiveRecord::Relation#unscope` affect relations it is merged in to.
+    *Stefan Kanev*
 
-    *Jon Leighton*
+*   Do not swallow errors on `compute_type` when having a bad `alias_method` on
+    a class.
 
-*   Use strings to represent non-string `order_values`.
+    *arthurnn*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   PostgreSQL invalid `uuid` are convert to nil.
 
-*   Checks to see if the record contains the foreign key to set the inverse automatically.
+    *Abdelkader Boudih*
 
-    *Edo Balvers*
+*   Restore 4.0 behavior for using serialize attributes with `JSON` as coder.
 
-*   Added `ActiveRecord::Base.to_param` for convenient "pretty" URLs derived from a model's attribute or method.
+    With 4.1.x, `serialize` started returning a string when `JSON` was passed as
+    the second attribute. It will now return a hash as per previous versions.
 
     Example:
 
-        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-          to_param :name
+        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+          serialize :comment, JSON
         end
 
-        user = User.find_by(name: 'Fancy Pants')
-        user.id       # => 123
-        user.to_param # => "123-fancy-pants"
-
-    *Javan Makhmali*
-
-*   Added `ActiveRecord::Base.no_touching`, which allows ignoring touch on models.
-
-    Example:
-
-        Post.no_touching do
-          Post.first.touch
+        class Comment
+          include ActiveModel::Model
+          attr_accessor :category, :text
         end
 
-    *Sam Stephenson*, *Damien Mathieu*
+        post = Post.create!
+        post.comment = Comment.new(category: "Animals", text: "This is a comment about squirrels.")
+        post.save!
 
-*   Prevent the counter cache from being decremented twice when destroying
-    a record on a `has_many :through` association.
+        # 4.0
+        post.comment # => {"category"=>"Animals", "text"=>"This is a comment about squirrels."}
 
-    Fixes #11079.
+        # 4.1 before
+        post.comment # => "#<Comment:0x007f80ab48ff98>"
 
-    *Dmitry Dedov*
+        # 4.1 after
+        post.comment # => {"category"=>"Animals", "text"=>"This is a comment about squirrels."}
 
-*   Unify boolean type casting for `MysqlAdapter` and `Mysql2Adapter`.
-    `type_cast` will return `1` for `true` and `0` for `false`.
+    When using `JSON` as the coder in `serialize`, Active Record will use the
+    new `ActiveRecord::Coders::JSON` coder which delegates its `dump/load` to
+    `ActiveSupport::JSON.encode/decode`. This ensures special objects are dumped
+    correctly using the `#as_json` hook.
 
-    Fixes #11119.
+    To keep the previous behaviour, supply a custom coder instead
+    ([example](https://gist.github.com/jenncoop/8c4142bbe59da77daa63)).
 
-    *Adam Williams*, *Yves Senn*
+    Fixes #15594.
 
-*   Fix bug where `has_one` association record update result in crash, when replaced with itself.
+    *Jenn Cooper*
 
-    Fixes #12834.
+*   Do not use `RENAME INDEX` syntax for MariaDB 10.0.
 
-    *Denis Redozubov*, *Sergio Cambra*
+    Fixes #15931.
 
-*   Log bind variables after they are type casted. This makes it more
-    transparent what values are actually sent to the database.
+    *Jeff Browning*
 
-        irb(main):002:0> Event.find("im-no-integer")
-        # Before: ... WHERE "events"."id" = $1 LIMIT 1  [["id", "im-no-integer"]]
-        # After: ... WHERE "events"."id" = $1 LIMIT 1  [["id", 0]]
+*   Calling `#empty?` on a `has_many` association would use the value from the
+    counter cache if one exists.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *David Verhasselt*
 
-*   Fix uninitialized constant `TransactionState` error when `Marshall.load` is used on an Active Record result.
+*   Fix the schema dump generated for tables without constraints and with
+    primary key with default value of custom PostgreSQL function result.
 
-    Fixes #12790.
+    Fixes #16111.
 
-    *Jason Ayre*
+    *Andrey Novikov*
 
-*   `.unscope` now removes conditions specified in `default_scope`.
+*   Fix the SQL generated when a `delete_all` is run on an association to not
+    produce an `IN` statements.
 
-    *Jon Leighton*
+    Before:
 
-*   Added `ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#rewhere` which will overwrite an existing, named where condition.
+      UPDATE "categorizations" SET "category_id" = NULL WHERE
+      "categorizations"."category_id" = 1 AND "categorizations"."id" IN (1, 2)
 
-    Examples:
+    After:
 
-        Post.where(trashed: true).where(trashed: false)                       #=> WHERE `trashed` = 1 AND `trashed` = 0
-        Post.where(trashed: true).rewhere(trashed: false)                     #=> WHERE `trashed` = 0
-        Post.where(active: true).where(trashed: true).rewhere(trashed: false) #=> WHERE `active` = 1 AND `trashed` = 0
+      UPDATE "categorizations" SET "category_id" = NULL WHERE
+      "categorizations"."category_id" = 1
 
-    *DHH*
+    *Eileen M. Uchitelle, Aaron Patterson*
 
-*   Extend `ActiveRecord::Base#cache_key` to take an optional list of timestamp attributes of which the highest will be used.
+*   Avoid type casting boolean and `ActiveSupport::Duration` values to numeric
+    values for string columns. Otherwise, in some database, the string column
+    values will be coerced to a numeric allowing false or 0.seconds match any
+    string starting with a non-digit.
 
     Example:
 
-        # last_reviewed_at will be used, if that's more recent than updated_at, or vice versa
-        Person.find(5).cache_key(:updated_at, :last_reviewed_at)
+        App.where(apikey: false) # => SELECT * FROM users WHERE apikey = '0'
 
-    *DHH*
+    *Dylan Thacker-Smith*
 
-*   Added `ActiveRecord::Base#enum` for declaring enum attributes where the values map to integers in the database, but can be queried by name.
+*   Add a `:required` option to singular associations, providing a nicer
+    API for presence validations on associations.
 
-    Example:
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-        class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
-          enum status: [:active, :archived]
-        end
+*   Fix an error in `reset_counters` when associations have `select` scope.
+    (Call to `count` generated invalid SQL.)
 
-        Conversation::STATUS # => { active: 0, archived: 1 }
+    *Cade Truitt*
 
-        # conversation.update! status: 0
-        conversation.active!
-        conversation.active? # => true
-        conversation.status  # => "active"
+*   After a successful `reload`, `new_record?` is always false.
 
-        # conversation.update! status: 1
-        conversation.archived!
-        conversation.archived? # => true
-        conversation.status    # => "archived"
+    Fixes #12101.
 
-        # conversation.update! status: 1
-        conversation.status = :archived

+*   PostgreSQL renaming table doesn't attempt to rename non existent sequences.
 
-*   `ActiveRecord::Base#attribute_for_inspect` now truncates long arrays (more than 10 elements).
+    *Abdelkader Boudih*
 
-    *Jan Bernacki*
+*   Move 'dependent: :destroy' handling for `belongs_to`
+    from `before_destroy` to `after_destroy` callback chain
 
-*   Allow for the name of the `schema_migrations` table to be configured.
+    Fixes #12380.
 
-    *Jerad Phelps*
+    *Ivan Antropov*
 
-*   Do not add to scope includes values from through associations.
-    Fixed bug when providing `includes` in through association scope, and fetching targets.
+*   Detect in-place modifications on String attributes.
 
-    Example:
+    Before this change, an attribute modified in-place had to be marked as
+    changed in order for it to be persisted in the database. Now it is no longer
+    required.
 
-        class Vendor < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_many :relationships, -> { includes(:user) }
-          has_many :users, through: :relationships
-        end
+    Before:
 
-        vendor = Vendor.first
+        user = User.first
+        user.name << ' Griffin'
+        user.name_will_change!
+        user.save

-        # After
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-        vendor.users.to_a # => No exception is raised
+*   Add `ActiveRecord::Base#validate!` that raises `RecordInvalid` if the record
+    is invalid.

+    *Bogdan Gusiev*, *Marc Schütz*
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+*   Support for adding and removing foreign keys. Foreign keys are now
+    a part of `schema.rb`. This is supported by Mysql2Adapter, MysqlAdapter
+    and PostgreSQLAdapter.
 
-*   Type cast json values on write, so that the value is consistent
-    with reading from the database.
+    Many thanks to *Matthew Higgins* for laying the foundation with his work on
+    [foreigner](https://github.com/matthuhiggins/foreigner).
 
     Example:
 
-        x = JsonDataType.new tags: {"string" => "foo", :symbol => :bar}
+        # within your migrations:
+        add_foreign_key :articles, :authors
+        remove_foreign_key :articles, :authors

-        x.tags # => {"string" => "foo", :symbol => :bar}
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-        # After:
-        x.tags # => {"string" => "foo", "symbol" => "bar"}
+*   Fix subtle bugs regarding attribute assignment on models with no primary

+*   `preload` preserves readonly flag for associations.
 
-*   Fix bug where `ActiveRecord::Store` used a global `Hash` to keep track of
-    all registered `stored_attributes`. Now every subclass of
-    `ActiveRecord::Base` has it's own `Hash`.
+    See #15853.
 
     *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Save `has_one` association when primary key is manually set.
+*   Assume numeric types have changed if they were assigned to a value that
+    would fail numericality validation, regardless of the old value. Previously
+    this would only occur if the old value was 0.
 
-    Fixes #12302.
+    Example:
 
-    *Lauro Caetano*
+        model = Model.create!(number: 5)
+        model.number = '5wibble'
+        model.number_changed? # => true
 
-*    Allow any version of BCrypt when using `has_secure_password`.
+    Fixes #14731.
 
-     *Mike Perham*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*    Sub-query generated for `Relation` passed as array condition did not take in account
-     bind values and have invalid syntax.
+*   `reload` no longer merges with the existing attributes.
+    The attribute hash is fully replaced. The record is put into the same state
+    as it would be with `Model.find(model.id)`.
 
-     Generate sub-query with inline bind values.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-     Fixes #12586.
+*   The object returned from `select_all` must respond to `column_types`.
+    If this is not the case a `NoMethodError` is raised.

+*   Detect in-place modifications of PG array types
 
-    *Kevin Mook*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   `ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#unscope` unscopes negative equality
+*   Add `bin/rake db:purge` task to empty the current database.
 
-    Allows you to call `#unscope` on a relation with negative equality
-    operators, i.e. `Arel::Nodes::NotIn` and `Arel::Nodes::NotEqual` that have
-    been generated through the use of `where.not`.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Eric Hankins*
+*   Deprecate `serialized_attributes` without replacement.
 
-*   Raise an exception when model without primary key calls `.find_with_ids`.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    *Shimpei Makimoto*
+*   Correctly extract IPv6 addresses from `DATABASE_URI`: the square brackets
+    are part of the URI structure, not the actual host.
 
-*   Make `Relation#empty?` use `exists?` instead of `count`.
+    Fixes #15705.
 
-    *Szymon Nowak*
+    *Andy Bakun*, *Aaron Stone*
 
-*   `rake db:structure:dump` no longer crashes when the port was specified as `Fixnum`.
+*   Ensure both parent IDs are set on join records when both sides of a
+    through association are new.
 
-    *Kenta Okamoto*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   `NullRelation#pluck` takes a list of columns
+*   `ActiveRecord::Dirty` now detects in-place changes to mutable values.
+    Serialized attributes on ActiveRecord models will no longer save when
+    unchanged.
 
-    The method signature in `NullRelation` was updated to mimic that in
-    `Calculations`.
+    Fixes #8328.
 
-    *Derek Prior*
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-*   `scope_chain` should not be mutated for other reflections.
+*   `Pluck` now works when selecting columns from different tables with the same
+    name.
 
-    Currently `scope_chain` uses same array for building different
-    `scope_chain` for different associations. During processing
-    these arrays are sometimes mutated and because of in-place
-    mutation the changed `scope_chain` impacts other reflections.
+    Fixes #15649.
 
-    Fix is to dup the value before adding to the `scope_chain`.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    Fixes #3882.

-*   Generate subquery for `Relation` if it passed as array condition for `where`
-    method.
+    Fixes #15382.
 
-    Example:
+    *James Yang*
 
-        # Before

-        # =>  SELECT "blogs".* FROM "blogs"  WHERE "blogs"."id" = 1
-        # =>  SELECT "blogs".* FROM "blogs"  WHERE (id IN (1))
+*   Make timezone aware attributes work with PostgreSQL array columns.
 
-        # After

+*   `ActiveRecord::SchemaMigration` has no primary key regardless of the
+    `primary_key_prefix_type` configuration.
 
-*   For missed association exception message
-    which is raised in `ActiveRecord::Associations::Preloader` class
-    added owner record class name in order to simplify to find problem code.
+    Fixes #15051.
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+    *JoseLuis Torres*, *Yves Senn*
 
-*   `has_and_belongs_to_many` is now transparently implemented in terms of
-    `has_many :through`.  Behavior should remain the same, if not, it is a bug.
+*   `rake db:migrate:status` works with legacy migration numbers like `00018_xyz.rb`.
 
-*   `create_savepoint`, `rollback_to_savepoint` and `release_savepoint` accept
-    a savepoint name.
+    Fixes #15538.
 
     *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Make `next_migration_number` accessible for third party generators.
+*   Baseclass becomes! subclass.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    Before this change, a record which changed its STI type, could not be
+    updated.
 
-*   Objects instantiated using a null relationship will now retain the

+    Fixes #14785.
 
-    Fixes #11676, #11675, #11376.
+    *Matthew Draper*, *Earl St Sauver*, *Edo Balvers*
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*, *Peter Brown*, *Nthalk*
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Migrator.proper_table_name`. Use the

-*   Fixed `ActiveRecord::Associations::CollectionAssociation#find`
-    when using `has_many` association with `:inverse_of` and finding an array of one element,
-    it should return an array of one element too.
+    *Akshay Vishnoi*
 
-    *arthurnn*
+*   Fix regression on eager loading association based on SQL query rather than

-*   `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters.string_to_time` respects

+*   Deprecate returning `nil` from `column_for_attribute` when no column exists.
+    It will return a null object in Rails 5.0
 
-    Fixes #12278.
+    *Sean Griffin*
 
-    *kennyj*
+*   Implemented `ActiveRecord::Base#pretty_print` to work with PP.
 
-*   Calling `update_attributes` will now throw an `ArgumentError` whenever it
-    gets a `nil` argument. More specifically, it will throw an error if the
-    argument that it gets passed does not respond to to `stringify_keys`.

-    generates invalid SQL expression.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    Fixes #11963.

+    Fixes duplication in combination with `store_accessor`.
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+    Fixes #15369.

-*   Stop interpreting SQL 'string' columns as :string type because there is no
-    common STRING datatype in SQL.
+*   Change belongs_to touch to be consistent with timestamp updates
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+    If a model is set up with a belongs_to: touch relationship the parent

-*   Assign inet/cidr attribute with `nil` value for invalid address.
+    Fixes #14824.
 
-    Example:
+    *Eric Chahin*
 
-        record = User.new
-        record.logged_in_from_ip # is type of an inet or a cidr
+*   Remove unused `:timestamp` type. Transparently alias it to `:datetime`
+    in all cases. Fixes inconsistencies when column types are sent outside of
+    `ActiveRecord`, such as for XML Serialization.
 
-        # Before:
-        record.logged_in_from_ip = 'bad ip address' # raise exception

-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+    *Joao Carlos*
 
-*   `add_to_target` now accepts a second optional `skip_callbacks` argument
+*   The `:index` option in migrations, which previously was only available for

-    If truthy, it will skip the :before_add and :after_add callbacks.
+    *Marc Schütz*
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+*   Add support for counter name to be passed as parameter on `CounterCache::ClassMethods#reset_counters`.
 
-*   Fix interactions between `:before_add` callbacks and nested attributes
-    assignment of `has_many` associations, when the association was not
-    yet loaded:
+    *jnormore*
 
-    - A `:before_add` callback was being called when a nested attributes
-      assignment assigned to an existing record.
+*   Restrict deletion of record when using `delete_all` with `uniq`, `group`, `having`
+    or `offset`.
 
-    - Nested Attributes assignment did not affect the record in the
-      association target when a `:before_add` callback triggered the
-      loading of the association
+    In these cases the generated query ignored them and that caused unintended
+    records to be deleted.
 
-    *Jörg Schray*
+    Fixes #11985.
 
-*   Allow enable_extension migration method to be revertible.
+    *Leandro Facchinetti*
 
-    *Eric Tipton*
+*   Floats with limit >= 25 that get turned into doubles in MySQL no longer have
+    their limit dropped from the schema.
 
-*   Type cast hstore values on write, so that the value is consistent
-    with reading from the database.
+    Fixes #14135.
 
-    Example:
+    *Aaron Nelson*
 
-        x = Hstore.new tags: {"bool" => true, "number" => 5}
+*   Fix how to calculate associated class name when using namespaced `has_and_belongs_to_many`
+    association.
 
-        # Before:
-        x.tags # => {"bool" => true, "number" => 5}

-    *Yves Senn* , *Severin Schoepke*
+*   `ActiveRecord::Relation::Merger#filter_binds` now compares equivalent symbols and
+    strings in column names as equal.
 
-*   Fix multidimensional PostgreSQL arrays containing non-string items.
+    This fixes a rare case in which more bind values are passed than there are
+    placeholders for them in the generated SQL statement, which can make PostgreSQL
+    throw a `StatementInvalid` exception.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *Nat Budin*
 
-*   Fixes bug when using includes combined with select, the select statement was overwritten.

-*   Create a directory for sqlite3 file if not present on the system.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Richard Schneeman*
+*   Handle `name` and `"char"` column types in the PostgreSQL adapter.
 
-*   Removed redundant override of `xml` column definition for PostgreSQL,
-    in order to use `xml` column type instead of `text`.
+    `name` and `"char"` are special character types used internally by
+    PostgreSQL and are used by internal system catalogs. These field types
+    can sometimes show up in structure-sniffing queries that feature internal system
+    structures or with certain PostgreSQL extensions.

-*   Revert `ActiveRecord::Relation#order` change that make new order
-    prepend the old one.
+*   Fix `PostgreSQLAdapter::OID::Float#type_cast` to convert Infinity and
+    NaN PostgreSQL values into a native Ruby `Float::INFINITY` and `Float::NAN`
 
     Before:
 
-        User.order("name asc").order("created_at desc")
-        # SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY created_at desc, name asc
+        Point.create(value: 1.0/0)
+        Point.last.value # => 0.0
 
     After:
 
-        User.order("name asc").order("created_at desc")
-        # SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY name asc, created_at desc
+        Point.create(value: 1.0/0)
+        Point.last.value # => Infinity
 
-    This also affects order defined in `default_scope` or any kind of associations.
+    *Innokenty Mikhailov*
 
-*   Add ability to define how a class is converted to Arel predicates.
-    For example, adding a very vendor specific regex implementation:
+*   Allow the PostgreSQL adapter to handle bigserial primary key types again.
 
-        regex_handler = proc do |column, value|
-          Arel::Nodes::InfixOperation.new('~', column, value.source)

+    Fixes #10410.
 
-    *Sean Griffin & @joannecheng*

-*   Don't allow `quote_value` to be called without a column.
+*   Deprecate joining, eager loading and preloading of instance dependent
+    associations without replacement. These operations happen before instances
+    are created. The current behavior is unexpected and can result in broken
+    behavior.
 
-    Some adapters require column information to do their job properly.
-    By enforcing the provision of the column for this internal method
-    we ensure that those using adapters that require column information
-    will always get the proper behavior.
+    Fixes #15024.
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-*   When using optimistic locking, `update` was not passing the column to `quote_value`
-    to allow the connection adapter to properly determine how to quote the value. This was
-    affecting certain databases that use specific column types.
+*   Fix `has_and_belongs_to_many` CollectionAssociation size calculations.
 
-    Fixes #6763.
+    `has_and_belongs_to_many` should fall back to using the normal CollectionAssociation's
+    size calculation if the collection is not cached or loaded.

-*   rescue from all exceptions in `ConnectionManagement#call`
+    *Fred Wu*
 
-    Fixes #11497.
+*   Return a non zero status when running `rake db:migrate:status` and migration table does
+    not exist.
 
-    As `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionManagement` middleware does
-    not rescue from Exception (but only from StandardError), the Connection
-    Pool quickly runs out of connections when multiple erroneous Requests come
-    in right after each other.
+    *Paul B.*
 
-    Rescuing from all exceptions and not just StandardError, fixes this
-    behaviour.
+*   Add support for module-level `table_name_suffix` in models.
 
-    *Vipul A M*
+    This makes `table_name_suffix` work the same way as `table_name_prefix` when
+    using namespaced models.

-    *Yves Senn*
+*   Revert the behaviour of `ActiveRecord::Relation#join` changed through 4.0 => 4.1 to 4.0.
 
-*   Remove deprecation warning from `attribute_missing` for attributes that are columns.
+    In 4.1.0 `Relation#join` is delegated to `Arel#SelectManager`.
+    In 4.0 series it is delegated to `Array#join`.

-*   Remove extra decrement of transaction deep level.
+*   Log nil binary column values correctly.
 
-    Fixes #4566.
+    When an object with a binary column is updated with a nil value
+    in that column, the SQL logger would throw an exception when trying
+    to log that nil value. This only occurs when updating a record
+    that already has a non-nil value in that column since an initial nil
+    value isn't included in the SQL anyway (at least, when dirty checking
+    is enabled.) The column's new value will now be logged as `<NULL binary data>`
+    to parallel the existing `<N bytes of binary data>` for non-nil values.
 
-    *Paul Nikitochkin*
+    *James Coleman*
 
-*   Reset @column_defaults when assigning `locking_column`.
-    We had a potential problem. For example:
+*   Rails will now pass a custom validation context through to autosave associations
+    in order to validate child associations with the same context.
 
-      class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-        self.column_defaults  # if we call this unintentionally before setting locking_column ...
-        self.locking_column = 'my_locking_column'

+    *Hector Satre*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   When using a custom `join_table` name on a `habtm`, rails was not saving it
+    on Reflections. This causes a problem when rails loads fixtures, because it
+    uses the reflections to set database with fixtures.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `scope` use without passing a callable object.
+    Fixes #14845.
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+    *Kassio Borges*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `transaction_joinable=` in favor of `begin_transaction`
-    with `:joinable` option.
+*   Reset the cache when modifying a Relation with cached Arel.
+    Additionally display a warning message to make the user aware.
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `decrement_open_transactions`.
+*   PostgreSQL should internally use `:datetime` consistently for TimeStamp. Assures
+    different spellings of timestamps are treated the same.
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+    Example:
 
-*   Remove deprecated `increment_open_transactions`.
+        mytimestamp.simplified_type('timestamp without time zone')
+        # => :datetime
+        mytimestamp.simplified_type('timestamp(6) without time zone')
+        # => also :datetime (previously would be :timestamp)
 
-    *Arun Agrawal*
+    See #14513.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `PostgreSQLAdapter#outside_transaction?`
-    method. You can use `#transaction_open?` instead.
+    *Jefferson Lai*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   `ActiveRecord::Base.no_touching` no longer triggers callbacks or start empty transactions.
 
-*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Fixtures.find_table_name` in favor of
-    `ActiveRecord::Fixtures.default_fixture_model_name`.
+    Fixes #14841.
+
+    *Lucas Mazza*
 
-    *Vipul A M*
+*   Fix name collision with `Array#select!` with `Relation#select!`.
 
-*   Removed deprecated `columns_for_remove` from `SchemaStatements`.
+    Fixes #14752.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Earl St Sauver*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `SchemaStatements#distinct`.
+*   Fix unexpected behavior for `has_many :through` associations going through
+    a scoped `has_many`.
 
-    *Francesco Rodriguez*
+    If a `has_many` association is adjusted using a scope, and another
+    `has_many :through` uses this association, then the scope adjustment is
+    unexpectedly neglected.
 
-*   Move deprecated `ActiveRecord::TestCase` into the rails test
-    suite. The class is no longer public and is only used for internal
-    Rails tests.
+    Fixes #14537.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *Jan Habermann*
 
-*   Removed support for deprecated option `:restrict` for `:dependent`
-    in associations.
+*   `@destroyed` should always be set to `false` when an object is duped.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Kuldeep Aggarwal*
 
-*   Removed support for deprecated `delete_sql` in associations.
+*   Enable `has_many` associations to support irregular inflections.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    Fixes #8928.
 
-*   Removed support for deprecated `insert_sql` in associations.
+    *arthurnn*, *Javier Goizueta*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+*   Fix `count` used with a grouping not returning a Hash.
 
-*   Removed support for deprecated `finder_sql` in associations.
+    Fixes #14721.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Eric Chahin*
 
-*   Support array as root element in JSON fields.
+*   `sanitize_sql_like` helper method to escape a string for safe use in an SQL
+    LIKE statement.
 
-    *Alexey Noskov & Francesco Rodriguez*
+    Example:
 
-*   Removed support for deprecated `counter_sql` in associations.
+        class Article
+          def self.search(term)
+            where("title LIKE ?", sanitize_sql_like(term))
+          end
+        end
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+        Article.search("20% _reduction_")
+        # => Query looks like "... title LIKE '20\% \_reduction\_' ..."
 
-*   Do not invoke callbacks when `delete_all` is called on collection.
+    *Rob Gilson*, *Yves Senn*
 
-    Method `delete_all` should not be invoking callbacks and this
-    feature was deprecated in Rails 4.0. This is being removed.
-    `delete_all` will continue to honor the `:dependent` option. However
-    if `:dependent` value is `:destroy` then the `:delete_all` deletion
-    strategy for that collection will be applied.
+*   Do not quote uuid default value on `change_column`.
 
-    User can also force a deletion strategy by passing parameter to
-    `delete_all`. For example you can do `@post.comments.delete_all(:nullify)`.
+    Fixes #14604.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Eric Chahin*
 
-*   Calling default_scope without a proc will now raise `ArgumentError`.
+*   The comparison between `Relation` and `CollectionProxy` should be consistent.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    Example:
 
-*   Removed deprecated method `type_cast_code` from Column.
+        author.posts == Post.where(author_id: author.id)
+        # => true
+        Post.where(author_id: author.id) == author.posts
+        # => true
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    Fixes #13506.
 
-*   Removed deprecated options `delete_sql` and `insert_sql` from HABTM
-    association.
+    *Lauro Caetano*
 
-    Removed deprecated options `finder_sql` and `counter_sql` from
-    collection association.
+*   Calling `delete_all` on an unloaded `CollectionProxy` no longer
+    generates an SQL statement containing each id of the collection:
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    Before:
 
-*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Base#connection` method.
-    Make sure to access it via the class.
+        DELETE FROM `model` WHERE `model`.`parent_id` = 1
+        AND `model`.`id` IN (1, 2, 3...)
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    After:
 
-*   Remove deprecation warning for `auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds`.
+        DELETE FROM `model` WHERE `model`.`parent_id` = 1
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *Aaron Patterson*
 
-*   Remove deprecated `:distinct` option from `Relation#count`.
+*   Fix invalid SQL when aggregate methods (`empty?`, `any?`, `count`) used
+    with `select`.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    Fixes #13648.
 
-*   Removed deprecated methods `partial_updates`, `partial_updates?` and
-    `partial_updates=`.
+    *Simon Woker*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+*   PostgreSQL adapter only warns once for every missing OID per connection.
 
-*   Removed deprecated method `scoped`.
+    Fixes #14275.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Removed deprecated method `default_scopes?`.
+*   PostgreSQL adapter automatically reloads it's type map when encountering
+    unknown OIDs.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    Fixes #14678.
 
-*   Remove implicit join references that were deprecated in 4.0.
+    *Matthew Draper*, *Yves Senn*
 
-    Example:
+*   Fix insertion of records via `has_many :through` association with scope.
 
-        # before with implicit joins
-        Comment.where('posts.author_id' => 7)
+    Fixes #3548.
 
-        # after
-        Comment.references(:posts).where('posts.author_id' => 7)
+    *Ivan Antropov*
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+*   Auto-generate stable fixture UUIDs on PostgreSQL.
 
-*   Apply default scope when joining associations. For example:
+    Fixes #11524.
 
-        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-          default_scope -> { where published: true }
-        end
+    *Roderick van Domburg*
 
-        class Comment
-          belongs_to :post
-        end
+*   Fix a problem where an enum would overwrite values of another enum with the
+    same name in an unrelated class.
 
-    When calling `Comment.joins(:post)`, we expect to receive only
-    comments on published posts, since that is the default scope for
-    posts.
+    Fixes #14607.
 
-    Before this change, the default scope from `Post` was not applied,
-    so we'd get comments on unpublished posts.
+    *Evan Whalen*
 
-    *Jon Leighton*
+*   PostgreSQL and SQLite string columns no longer have a default limit of 255.
 
-*   Remove `activerecord-deprecated_finders` as a dependency.
+    Fixes #13435, #9153.
 
-    *Łukasz Strzałkowski*
+    *Vladimir Sazhin*, *Toms Mikoss*, *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Remove Oracle / Sqlserver / Firebird database tasks that were deprecated in 4.0.
+*   Make possible to have an association called `records`.
 
-    *kennyj*
+    Fixes #11645.
 
-*   `find_each` now returns an `Enumerator` when called without a block, so that it
-    can be chained with other `Enumerable` methods.
+    *prathamesh-sonpatki*
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+*   `to_sql` on an association now matches the query that is actually executed, where it
+    could previously have incorrectly accrued additional conditions (e.g. as a result of
+    a previous query). `CollectionProxy` now always defers to the association scope's
+    `arel` method so the (incorrect) inherited one should be entirely concealed.
 
-*   `ActiveRecord::Result.each` now returns an `Enumerator` when called without
-     a block, so that it can be chained with other `Enumerable` methods.
+    Fixes #14003.
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+    *Jefferson Lai*
 
-*   Flatten merged join_values before building the joins.
+*   Block a few default Class methods as scope name.
 
-    While joining_values special treatment is given to string values.
-    By flattening the array it ensures that string values are detected
-    as strings and not arrays.
+    For instance, this will raise:
 
-    Fixes #10669.
+        scope :public, -> { where(status: 1) }
 
-    *Neeraj Singh and iwiznia*
+    *arthurnn*
 
-*   Do not load all child records for inverse case.
+*   Fix error when using `with_options` with lambda.
 
-    currently `post.comments.find(Comment.first.id)` would load all
-    comments for the given post to set the inverse association.
+    Fixes #9805.
 
-    This has a huge performance penalty. Because if post has 100k
-    records and all these 100k records would be loaded in memory
-    even though the comment id was supplied.
+    *Lauro Caetano*
 
-    Fix is to use in-memory records only if loaded? is true. Otherwise
-    load the records using full sql.
+*   Switch `sqlite3:///` URLs (which were temporarily
+    deprecated in 4.1) from relative to absolute.
 
-    Fixes #10509.
+    If you still want the previous interpretation, you should replace
+    `sqlite3:///my/path` with `sqlite3:my/path`.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Matthew Draper*
 
-*   `inspect` on Active Record model classes does not initiate a
-    new connection. This means that calling `inspect`, when the
-    database is missing, will no longer raise an exception.
-    Fixes #10936.
+*   Treat blank UUID values as `nil`.
 
     Example:
 
-        Author.inspect # => "Author(no database connection)"
-
-    *Yves Senn*
+        Sample.new(uuid_field: '') #=> <Sample id: nil, uuid_field: nil>
 
-*   Handle single quotes in PostgreSQL default column values.
-    Fixes #10881.
+    *Dmitry Lavrov*
 
-    *Dylan Markow*
+*   Enable support for materialized views on PostgreSQL >= 9.3.
 
-*   Log the sql that is actually sent to the database.
+    *Dave Lee*
 
-    If I have a query that produces sql
-    `WHERE "users"."name" = 'a         b'` then in the log all the
-    whitespace is being squeezed. So the sql that is printed in the
-    log is `WHERE "users"."name" = 'a b'`.
+*   The PostgreSQL adapter supports custom domains. Fixes #14305.
 
-    Do not squeeze whitespace out of sql queries. Fixes #10982.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+*   PostgreSQL `Column#type` is now determined through the corresponding OID.
+    The column types stay the same except for enum columns. They no longer have
+    `nil` as type but `enum`.
 
-*   Fixture setup no longer depends on `ActiveRecord::Base.configurations`.
-    This is relevant when `ENV["DATABASE_URL"]` is used in place of a `database.yml`.
+    See #7814.
 
     *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Fix mysql2 adapter raises the correct exception when executing a query on a
-    closed connection.
+*   Fix error when specifying a non-empty default value on a PostgreSQL array
+    column.
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    Fixes #10613.
 
-*   Ambiguous reflections are on :through relationships are no longer supported.
-    For example, you need to change this:
+    *Luke Steensen*
 
-        class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_many :posts
-          has_many :taggings, through: :posts
-        end
+*   Fix error where `.persisted?` throws SystemStackError for an unsaved model with a
+    custom primary key that did not save due to validation error.
 
-        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_one :tagging
-          has_many :taggings
-        end
+    Fixes #14393.
 
-        class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
-        end
+    *Chris Finne*
 
-    To this:
+*   Introduce `validate` as an alias for `valid?`.
 
-        class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_many :posts
-          has_many :taggings, through: :posts, source: :tagging
-        end
+    This is more intuitive when you want to run validations but don't care about the return value.
 
-        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_one :tagging
-          has_many :taggings
-        end
+    *Henrik Nyh*
 
-        class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
-        end
+*   Create indexes inline in CREATE TABLE for MySQL.
 
-    *Aaron Patterson*
+    This is important, because adding an index on a temporary table after it has been created
+    would commit the transaction.
 
-*   Remove column restrictions for `count`, let the database raise if the SQL is
-    invalid. The previous behavior was untested and surprising for the user.
-    Fixes #5554.
+    It also allows creating and dropping indexed tables with fewer queries and fewer permissions
+    required.
 
     Example:
 
-        User.select("name, username").count
-        # Before => SELECT count(*) FROM users
-        # After => ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid
-
-        # you can still use `count(:all)` to perform a query unrelated to the
-        # selected columns
-        User.select("name, username").count(:all) # => SELECT count(*) FROM users
-
-    *Yves Senn*
-
-*   Rails now automatically detects inverse associations. If you do not set the
-    `:inverse_of` option on the association, then Active Record will guess the
-    inverse association based on heuristics.
-
-    Note that automatic inverse detection only works on `has_many`, `has_one`,
-    and `belongs_to` associations. Extra options on the associations will
-    also prevent the association's inverse from being found automatically.
-
-    The automatic guessing of the inverse association uses a heuristic based
-    on the name of the class, so it may not work for all associations,
-    especially the ones with non-standard names.
-
-    You can turn off the automatic detection of inverse associations by setting
-    the `:inverse_of` option to `false` like so:
-
-        class Taggable < ActiveRecord::Base
-          belongs_to :tag, inverse_of: false
+        create_table :temp, temporary: true, as: "SELECT id, name, zip FROM a_really_complicated_query" do |t|
+          t.index :zip
         end
+        # => CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temp (INDEX (zip)) AS SELECT id, name, zip FROM a_really_complicated_query
 
-    *John Wang*
+    *Cody Cutrer*, *Steve Rice*, *Rafael Mendonça Franca*
 
-*   Fix `add_column` with `array` option when using PostgreSQL. Fixes #10432.
+*   Use singular table name in generated migrations when
+    `ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names` is `false`.
 
-    *Adam Anderson*
+    Fixes #13426.
+
+    *Kuldeep Aggarwal*
 
-*   Usage of `implicit_readonly` is being removed`. Please use `readonly` method
-    explicitly to mark records as `readonly.
-    Fixes #10615.
+*   `touch` accepts many attributes to be touched at once.
 
     Example:
 
-        user = User.joins(:todos).select("users.*, todos.title as todos_title").readonly(true).first
-        user.todos_title = 'clean pet'
-        user.save! # will raise error
+        # touches :signed_at, :sealed_at, and :updated_at/on attributes.
+        Photo.last.touch(:signed_at, :sealed_at)
 
-    *Yves Senn*
+    *James Pinto*
 
-*   Fix the `:primary_key` option for `has_many` associations.
+*   `rake db:structure:dump` only dumps schema information if the schema
+    migration table exists.
 
-    Fixes #10693.
+    Fixes #14217.
 
     *Yves Senn*
 
-*   Fix bug where tiny types are incorrectly coerced as boolean when the length is more than 1.
+*   Reap connections that were checked out by now-dead threads, instead
+    of waiting until they disconnect by themselves. Before this change,
+    a suitably constructed series of short-lived threads could starve
+    the connection pool, without ever having more than a couple alive at
+    the same time.
 
-    Fixes #10620.
-
-    *Aaron Patterson*
+    *Matthew Draper*
 
-*   Also support extensions in PostgreSQL 9.1. This feature has been supported since 9.1.
+*   `pk_and_sequence_for` now ensures that only the pg_depend entries
+    pointing to pg_class, and thus only sequence objects, are considered.
 
-    *kennyj*
+    *Josh Williams*
 
-*   Deprecate `ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements#distinct`,
-    as it is no longer used by internals.
+*   `where.not` adds `references` for `includes` like normal `where` calls do.
 
-    *Ben Woosley*
+    Fixes #14406.
 
-*   Fix pending migrations error when loading schema and `ActiveRecord::Base.table_name_prefix`
-    is not blank.
+    *Yves Senn*
 
-    Call `assume_migrated_upto_version` on connection to prevent it from first
-    being picked up in `method_missing`.
+*   Extend fixture `$LABEL` replacement to allow string interpolation.
 
-    In the base class, `Migration`, `method_missing` expects the argument to be a
-    table name, and calls `proper_table_name` on the arguments before sending to
-    `connection`. If `table_name_prefix` or `table_name_suffix` is used, the schema
-    version changes to `prefix_version_suffix`, breaking `rake test:prepare`.
+    Example:
 
-    Fixes #10411.
+        martin:
+          email: $LABEL@email.com
 
-    *Kyle Stevens*
+        users(:martin).email # => martin@email.com
 
-*   Method `read_attribute_before_type_cast` should accept input as symbol.
+    *Eric Steele*
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+*   Add support for `Relation` be passed as parameter on `QueryCache#select_all`.
 
-*   Confirm a record has not already been destroyed before decrementing counter cache.
+    Fixes #14361.
 
-    *Ben Tucker*
+    *arthurnn*
 
-*   Fixed a bug in `ActiveRecord#sanitize_sql_hash_for_conditions` in which
-    `self.class` is an argument to `PredicateBuilder#build_from_hash`
-    causing `PredicateBuilder` to call non-existent method
-    `Class#reflect_on_association`.
+*   Passing an Active Record object to `find` or `exists?` is now deprecated.
+    Call `.id` on the object first.
 
-    *Zach Ohlgren*
+    *Aaron Patterson*
 
-*   While removing index if column option is missing then raise IrreversibleMigration exception.
+*   Only use BINARY for MySQL case sensitive uniqueness check when column
+    has a case insensitive collation.
 
-    Following code should raise `IrreversibleMigration`. But the code was
-    failing since options is an array and not a hash.

-        def change
-          change_table :users do |t|
-            t.remove_index [:name, :email]
-          end
-        end
+*   Support for MySQL 5.6 fractional seconds.
 
-    Fix was to check if the options is a Hash before operating on it.
+    *arthurnn*, *Tatsuhiko Miyagawa*
 
-    Fixes #10419.
+*   Support for PostgreSQL `citext` data type enabling case-insensitive
+   `where` values without needing to wrap in UPPER/LOWER sql functions.
 
-    *Neeraj Singh*
+    *Troy Kruthoff*, *Lachlan Sylvester*
 
-*   Do not overwrite manually built records during one-to-one nested attribute assignment
+*   Only save has_one associations if record has changes.
+    Previously after save related callbacks, such as `#after_commit`, were triggered when the has_one
+    object did not get saved to the db.
 
-    For one-to-one nested associations, if you build the new (in-memory)
-    child object yourself before assignment, then the NestedAttributes
-    module will not overwrite it, e.g.:
+    *Alan Kennedy*
 
-        class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
-          has_one :avatar
-          accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar
+*   Allow strings to specify the `#order` value.
 
-          def avatar
-            super || build_avatar(width: 200)
-          end
-        end
+    Example:
 
-        member = Member.new
-        member.avatar_attributes = {icon: 'sad'}
-        member.avatar.width # => 200
+        Model.order(id: 'asc').to_sql == Model.order(id: :asc).to_sql
 
-    *Olek Janiszewski*
+    *Marcelo Casiraghi*, *Robin Dupret*
 
-*   fixes bug introduced by #3329. Now, when autosaving associations,
-    deletions happen before inserts and saves. This prevents a 'duplicate
-    unique value' database error that would occur if a record being created had
-    the same value on a unique indexed field as that of a record being destroyed.
+*   Dynamically register PostgreSQL enum OIDs. This prevents "unknown OID"
+    warnings on enum columns.
 
-    *Johnny Holton*
+    *Dieter Komendera*
 
-*   Handle aliased attributes in ActiveRecord::Relation.
+*   `includes` is able to detect the right preloading strategy when string
+    joins are involved.
 
-    When using symbol keys, ActiveRecord will now translate aliased attribute names to the actual column name used in the database:
+    Fixes #14109.

+*   Fix error with validation with enum fields for records where the value for
+    any enum attribute is always evaluated as 0 during uniqueness validation.
 
-    The call
+    Fixes #14172.
 
-        Topic.where(heading: 'The First Topic')
+    *Vilius Luneckas* *Ahmed AbouElhamayed*
 
-    should yield the same result as
+*   `before_add` callbacks are fired before the record is saved on
+    `has_and_belongs_to_many` associations *and* on `has_many :through`
+    associations.  Before this change, `before_add` callbacks would be fired
+    before the record was saved on `has_and_belongs_to_many` associations, but
+    *not* on `has_many :through` associations.
 
-        Topic.where(title: 'The First Topic')
+    Fixes #14144.
 
-    This also applies to ActiveRecord::Relation::Calculations calls such as `Model.sum(:aliased)` and `Model.pluck(:aliased)`.
+*   Fix STI classes not defining an attribute method if there is a conflicting
+    private method defined on its ancestors.
 
-    This will not work with SQL fragment strings like `Model.sum('DISTINCT aliased')`.
+    Fixes #11569.

-*   Mute `psql` output when running rake db:schema:load.
+*   Coerce strings when reading attributes. Fixes #10485.
 
-    *Godfrey Chan*
+    Example:
 
-*   Trigger a save on `has_one association=(associate)` when the associate contents have changed.
+        book = Book.new(title: 12345)
+        book.save!
+        book.title # => "12345"
 
-    Fixes #8856.

-    *Chris Thompson*
+*   Deprecate half-baked support for PostgreSQL range values with excluding beginnings.
+    We currently map PostgreSQL ranges to Ruby ranges. This conversion is not fully
+    possible because the Ruby range does not support excluded beginnings.
 
-*   Abort a rake task when missing db/structure.sql like `db:schema:load` task.
+    The current solution of incrementing the beginning is not correct and is now
+    deprecated. For subtypes where we don't know how to increment (e.g. `#succ`
+    is not defined) it will raise an `ArgumentException` for ranges with excluding
+    beginnings.

-*   rake:db:test:prepare falls back to original environment after execution.
+*   Support for user created range types in PostgreSQL.
