-## Rails 6.1.7 (September 09, 2022) ##
+## Rails 7.2.2 (October 30, 2024) ##
 
-*   Symbol is allowed by default for YAML columns
+*   Fix support for `query_cache: false` in `database.yml`.
 
-    *Étienne Barrié*
+    `query_cache: false` would no longer entirely disable the Active Record query cache.
 
-*   Fix `ActiveRecord::Store` to serialize as a regular Hash
+    *zzak*
 
-    Previously it would serialize as an `ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess`
-    which is wasteful and cause problem with YAML safe_load.
+*   Set `.attributes_for_inspect` to `:all` by default.
 
-    *Jean Boussier*
-
-*   Fix PG.connect keyword arguments deprecation warning on ruby 2.7
-
-    Fixes #44307.

-## Rails 6.1.6.1 (July 12, 2022) ##
-
-*   Change ActiveRecord::Coders::YAMLColumn default to safe_load
-
-    This adds two new configuration options The configuration options are as
-    follows:
-    
-    * `config.active_storage.use_yaml_unsafe_load`
-    
-    When set to true, this configuration option tells Rails to use the old
-    "unsafe" YAML loading strategy, maintaining the existing behavior but leaving
-    the possible escalation vulnerability in place.  Setting this option to true
-    is *not* recommended, but can aid in upgrading.
-    
-    * `config.active_record.yaml_column_permitted_classes`
-    
-    The "safe YAML" loading method does not allow all classes to be deserialized
-    by default.  This option allows you to specify classes deemed "safe" in your
-    application.  For example, if your application uses Symbol and Time in
-    serialized data, you can add Symbol and Time to the allowed list as follows:
-    
-    ```
-    config.active_record.yaml_column_permitted_classes = [Symbol, Date, Time]
-    ```
+    For new applications it is set to `[:id]` in config/environment/production.rb.
 
-    [CVE-2022-32224]
+    In the console all the attributes are always shown.

-## Rails 6.1.5 (March 09, 2022) ##
+*   Fix marshalling of unsaved associated records in 7.1 format.
 
-*   Fix `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaCache#deep_deduplicate` for Ruby 2.6.
+    The 7.1 format would only marshal associated records if the association was loaded.
+    But associations that would only contain unsaved records would be skipped.
 
-    Ruby 2.6 and 2.7 have slightly different implementations of the `String#-@` method.
-    In Ruby 2.6, the receiver of the `String#-@` method is modified under certain circumstances.
-    This was later identified as a bug (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15926) and only
-    fixed in Ruby 2.7.
-
-    Before the changes in this commit, the
-    `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaCache#deep_deduplicate` method, which internally
-    calls the `String#-@` method, could also modify an input string argument in Ruby 2.6 --
-    changing a tainted, unfrozen string into a tainted, frozen string.
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-    Fixes #43056
+*   Fix incorrect SQL query when passing an empty hash to `ActiveRecord::Base.insert`.
 
-    *Eric O'Hanlon*
+    *David Stosik*
 
-*   Fix migration compatibility to create SQLite references/belongs_to column as integer when
-    migration version is 6.0.
+*   Allow to save records with polymorphic join tables that have `inverse_of`
+    specified.
 
-    `reference`/`belongs_to` in migrations with version 6.0 were creating columns as
-    bigint instead of integer for the SQLite Adapter.
+    *Markus Doits*
 
-    *Marcelo Lauxen*
+*   Fix association scopes applying on the incorrect join when using a polymorphic `has_many through:`.
 
-*   Fix dbconsole for 3-tier config.
+    *Joshua Young*
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
+*   Fix `dependent: :destroy` for bi-directional has one through association.
 
-*   Better handle SQL queries with invalid encoding.
+    Fixes #50948.
 
     ```ruby
-    Post.create(name: "broken \xC8 UTF-8")
-    ```
-
-    Would cause all adapters to fail in a non controlled way in the code
-    responsible to detect write queries.
-
-    The query is now properly passed to the database connection, which might or might
-    not be able to handle it, but will either succeed or failed in a more correct way.
-
-    *Jean Boussier*
-
-*   Ignore persisted in-memory records when merging target lists.
-
-    *Kevin Sjöberg*
+    class Left < ActiveRecord::Base
+      has_one :middle, dependent: :destroy
+      has_one :right, through: :middle
+    end
 
-*   Fix regression bug that caused ignoring additional conditions for preloading
-    `has_many` through relations.
+    class Middle < ActiveRecord::Base
+      belongs_to :left, dependent: :destroy
+      belongs_to :right, dependent: :destroy

-    Fixes #43132
+    class Right < ActiveRecord::Base
+      has_one :middle, dependent: :destroy
+      has_one :left, through: :middle
+    end
+    ```
+    In the above example `left.destroy` wouldn't destroy its associated `Right`
+    record.
 
-    *Alexander Pauly*
+    *Andy Stewart*
 
-*   Fix `ActiveRecord::InternalMetadata` to not be broken by
-    `config.active_record.record_timestamps = false`
+*   Properly handle lazily pinned connection pools.
 
-    Since the model always create the timestamp columns, it has to set them, otherwise it breaks
-    various DB management tasks.
+    Fixes #53147.
 
-    Fixes #42983
+    When using transactional fixtures with system tests to similar tools
+    such as capybara, it could happen that a connection end up pinned by the
+    server thread rather than the test thread, causing
+    `"Cannot expire connection, it is owned by a different thread"` errors.

+    ```
 
-*   Fix retrieving default value for text column for MariaDB.
+    The above now works as expected.
 
     *fatkodima*
 
+*   Properly release pinned connections with non joinable connections.

-    *Jamie McCarthy*
-
-*   Raise an error if `pool_config` is `nil` in `set_pool_config`.
-
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
-
-*   Fix compatibility with `psych >= 4`.
-
-    Starting in Psych 4.0.0 `YAML.load` behaves like `YAML.safe_load`. To preserve compatibility
-    Active Record's schema cache loader and `YAMLColumn` now uses `YAML.unsafe_load` if available.
+    When running system tests with transactional fixtures on, it could happen that
+    the connection leased by the Puma thread wouldn't be properly released back to the pool,
+    causing "Cannot expire connection, it is owned by a different thread" errors in later tests.
 
     *Jean Boussier*
 
-*   Support using replicas when using `rails dbconsole`.
-
-    *Christopher Thornton*
-
-*   Restore connection pools after transactional tests.
-
-    *Eugene Kenny*
-
-*   Change `upsert_all` to fails cleanly for MySQL when `:unique_by` is used.
+*   Make Float distinguish between `float4` and `float8` in PostgreSQL.
 
-    *Bastian Bartmann*
+    Fixes #52742
 
-*   Fix user-defined `self.default_scope` to respect table alias.
+    *Ryota Kitazawa*, *Takayuki Nagatomi*
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+*   Fix an issue where `.left_outer_joins` used with multiple associations that have
+    the same child association but different parents does not join all parents.
 
-*   Clear `@cache_keys` cache after `update_all`, `delete_all`, `destroy_all`.
+    Previously, using `.left_outer_joins` with the same child association would only join one of the parents.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    Now it will correctly join both parents.
 
-*   Changed Arel predications `contains` and `overlaps` to use
-    `quoted_node` so that PostgreSQL arrays are quoted properly.
+    Fixes #41498.
 
-    *Bradley Priest*
+    *Garrett Blehm*
 
-*   Fix `merge` when the `where` clauses have string contents.
+*   Ensure `ActiveRecord::Encryption.config` is always ready before access.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    Previously, `ActiveRecord::Encryption` configuration was deferred until `ActiveRecord::Base`
+    was loaded. Therefore, accessing `ActiveRecord::Encryption.config` properties before
+    `ActiveRecord::Base` was loaded would give incorrect results.
 
-*   Fix rollback of parent destruction with nested `dependent: :destroy`.
+    `ActiveRecord::Encryption` now has its own loading hook so that its configuration is set as
+    soon as needed.
 
-    *Jacopo Beschi*
+    When `ActiveRecord::Base` is loaded, even lazily, it in turn triggers the loading of
+    `ActiveRecord::Encryption`, thus preserving the original behavior of having its config ready
+    before any use of `ActiveRecord::Base`.
 
-*   Fix binds logging for `"WHERE ... IN ..."` statements.
-
-    *Ricardo Díaz*
-
-*   Handle `false` in relation strict loading checks.
-
-    Previously when a model had strict loading set to true and then had a
-    relation set `strict_loading` to false the false wasn't considered when
-    deciding whether to raise/warn about strict loading.
-
-    ```
-    class Dog < ActiveRecord::Base
-      self.strict_loading_by_default = true
-
-      has_many :treats, strict_loading: false
-    end
-    ```
+    *Maxime Réty*
 
-    In the example, `dog.treats` would still raise even though
-    `strict_loading` was set to false. This is a bug affecting more than
-    Active Storage which is why I made this PR superseding #41461. We need
-    to fix this for all applications since the behavior is a little
-    surprising. I took the test from #41461 and the code suggestion from #41453
-    with some additions.
+*   Add `TimeZoneConverter#==` method, so objects will be properly compared by
+    their type, scale, limit & precision.
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *Radamés Roriz*
+    Address #52699.
 
-*   Fix numericality validator without precision.
+    *Ruy Rocha*
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
 
-*   Fix aggregate attribute on Enum types.

+    *fatkodima*
 
-*   Skip optimised #exist? query when #include? is called on a relation
-    with a having clause
+*   Fix memory bloat on the connection pool when using the Fiber `IsolatedExecutionState`.
 
-    Relations that have aliased select values AND a having clause that
-    references an aliased select value would generate an error when
-    #include? was called, due to an optimisation that would generate
-    call #exists? on the relation instead, which effectively alters
-    the select values of the query (and thus removes the aliased select
-    values), but leaves the having clause intact. Because the having
-    clause is then referencing an aliased column that is no longer
-    present in the simplified query, an ActiveRecord::InvalidStatement
-    error was raised.
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-    An sample query affected by this problem:
+*   Restore inferred association class with the same modularized name.
 
-    ```ruby
-    Author.select('COUNT(*) as total_posts', 'authors.*')
-          .joins(:posts)
-          .group(:id)
-          .having('total_posts > 2')
-          .include?(Author.first)
-    ```
+    *Justin Ko*
 
-    This change adds an addition check to the condition that skips the
-    simplified #exists? query, which simply checks for the presence of
-    a having clause.
+*   Fix `ActiveRecord::Base.inspect` to properly explain how to load schema information.
 
-    Fixes #41417
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-    *Michael Smart*
+*   Check invalid `enum` options for the new syntax.
 
-*   Increment postgres prepared statement counter before making a prepared statement, so if the statement is aborted
-    without Rails knowledge (e.g., if app gets kill -9d during long-running query or due to Rack::Timeout), app won't end
-    up in perpetual crash state for being inconsistent with Postgres.
+    The options using `_` prefix in the old syntax are invalid in the new syntax.
 
-    *wbharding*, *Martin Tepper*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
+*   Fix `ActiveRecord::Encryption::EncryptedAttributeType#type` to return
+    actual cast type.
 
-## Rails 6.1.2.1 (February 10, 2021) ##

-*   Fix possible DoS vector in PostgreSQL money type
+*   Fix `create_table` with `:auto_increment` option for MySQL adapter.
 
-    Carefully crafted input can cause a DoS via the regular expressions used
-    for validating the money format in the PostgreSQL adapter.  This patch
-    fixes the regexp.

+    *Stephen Margheim*
 
-## Rails 6.1.2 (February 09, 2021) ##
+*   Fixes `validates_associated` raising an exception when configured with a

-*   Fix timestamp type for sqlite3.
+    *Martin Spickermann*
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
+*   The constant `ActiveRecord::ImmutableRelation` has been deprecated because

+    Please use `ActiveRecord::UnmodifiableRelation` instead.
 
-*   Make destroy async transactional.
+    *Xavier Noria*
 
-    An active record rollback could occur while enqueuing a job. In this
-    case the job would enqueue even though the database deletion
-    rolledback putting things in a funky state.
+*   Add condensed `#inspect` for `ConnectionPool`, `AbstractAdapter`, and
+    `DatabaseConfig`.
 
-    Now the jobs are only enqueued until after the db transaction has been committed.
+    *Hartley McGuire*
 
-    *Cory Gwin*
+*   Fixed a memory performance issue in Active Record attribute methods definition.
 
-*   Fix malformed packet error in MySQL statement for connection configuration.
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-    *robinroestenburg*
+*   Define the new Active Support notification event `start_transaction.active_record`.
 
-*   Connection specification now passes the "url" key as a configuration for the

-    urls with the "jdbc" prefix were passed to the Active Record Adapter, others
-    are assumed to be adapter specification urls.
+    This event is fired when database transactions or savepoints start, and
+    complements `transaction.active_record`, which is emitted when they finish.
 
-    Fixes #41137.
+    The payload has the transaction (`:transaction`) and the connection (`:connection`).

-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
+    *Jay Ang*
 
-*   Fix `find_by` with custom primary key for belongs_to association.
+*   The payload of `sql.active_record` Active Support notifications now has the current transaction in the `:transaction` key.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Xavier Noria*
 
-*   Add support for `rails console --sandbox` for multiple database applications.

-*   Make sure `db:prepare` works even the schema file doesn't exist.
+    *lulalala*
 
-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
+*   Add `index_errors: :nested_attributes_order` mode.
 
-*   Fix complicated `has_many :through` with nested where condition.
+    This indexes the association validation errors based on the order received by nested attributes setter, and respects the `reject_if` configuration. This enables API to provide enough information to the frontend to map the validation errors back to their respective form fields.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *lulalala*
 
-*   Handle STI models for `has_many dependent: :destroy_async`.

-    *Muhammad Usman*
+    *Joé Dupuis*
 
-*   Restore possibility of passing `false` to :polymorphic option of `belongs_to`.
+*   Association option `query_constraints` is deprecated in favor of `foreign_key`.
 
-    Previously, passing `false` would trigger the option validation logic
-    to throw an error saying :polymorphic would not be a valid option.
+    *Nikita Vasilevsky*
 
-    *glaszig*
+*   Add `ENV["SKIP_TEST_DATABASE_TRUNCATE"]` flag to speed up multi-process test runs on large DBs when all tests run within default transaction.
 
-*   Allow adding nonnamed expression indexes to be revertible.
+    This cuts ~10s from the test run of HEY when run by 24 processes against the 178 tables, since ~4,000 table truncates can then be skipped.
 
-    Fixes #40732.
+    *DHH*
 
-    Previously, the following code would raise an error, when executed while rolling back,
-    and the index name should be specified explicitly. Now, the index name is inferred
-    automatically.
+*   Added support for recursive common table expressions.
 
     ```ruby
-    add_index(:items, "to_tsvector('english', description)")
+    Post.with_recursive(
+      post_and_replies: [
+        Post.where(id: 42),
+        Post.joins('JOIN post_and_replies ON posts.in_reply_to_id = post_and_replies.id'),
+      ]
+    )
     ```
 
-    *fatkodima*

-
-    Fixes #35204.
-
-    *Tomoyuki Kai*
+    *ClearlyClaire*
 
-*   Build predicate conditions with objects that delegate `#id` and primary key:
+*   `validate_constraint` can be called in a `change_table` block.
 
+    ex:
     ```ruby
-    class AdminAuthor
-      delegate_missing_to :@author
-
-      def initialize(author)
-        @author = author
-      end
+    change_table :products do |t|
+      t.check_constraint "price > discounted_price", name: "price_check", validate: false

     end
-
-    Post.where(author: AdminAuthor.new(author))
     ```

-
-*   Add `connected_to_many` API.
+    *Cody Cutrer*
 
-    This API allows applications to connect to multiple databases at once without switching all of them or implementing a deeply nested stack.
+*   `PostgreSQLAdapter` now decodes columns of type date to `Date` instead of string.
 
-    Before:
-
-        AnimalsRecord.connected_to(role: :reading) do
-          MealsRecord.connected_to(role: :reading) do
-            Dog.first # read from animals replica
-            Dinner.first # read from meals replica
-            Person.first # read from primary writer
-          end
-        end
-
-    After:
-
-        ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to_many([AnimalsRecord, MealsRecord], role: :reading) do
-          Dog.first # read from animals replica
-          Dinner.first # read from meals replica
-          Person.first # read from primary writer
-        end
-
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
-
-*   Add option to raise or log for `ActiveRecord::StrictLoadingViolationError`.
-
-    Some applications may not want to raise an error in production if using `strict_loading`. This would allow an application to set strict loading to log for the production environment while still raising in development and test environments.
-
-    Set `config.active_record.action_on_strict_loading_violation` to `:log` errors instead of raising.
-
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
-
-*   Allow the inverse of a `has_one` association that was previously autosaved to be loaded.
-
-    Fixes #34255.
-
-    *Steven Weber*
-
-*   Optimise the length of index names for polymorphic references by using the reference name rather than the type and id column names.
-
-    Because the default behaviour when adding an index with multiple columns is to use all column names in the index name, this could frequently lead to overly long index names for polymorphic references which would fail the migration if it exceeded the database limit.
-
-    This change reduces the chance of that happening by using the reference name, e.g. `index_my_table_on_my_reference`.
-
-    Fixes #38655.
-
-    *Luke Redpath*
-
-*   MySQL: Uniqueness validator now respects default database collation,
-    no longer enforce case sensitive comparison by default.
-
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
-
-*   Remove deprecated methods from `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::DatabaseLimits`.
-
-    `column_name_length`
-    `table_name_length`
-    `columns_per_table`
-    `indexes_per_table`
-    `columns_per_multicolumn_index`
-    `sql_query_length`

-
-*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::AbstractAdapter#supports_foreign_keys_in_create?`.

-
-*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::PostgreSQLAdapter#supports_ranges?`.
-
-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
-
-*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Base#update_attributes` and `ActiveRecord::Base#update_attributes!`.
-

-
-*   `relation.create` does no longer leak scope to class level querying methods
-    in initialization block and callbacks.
-
-    Before:
-
-        User.where(name: "John").create do |john|
-          User.find_by(name: "David") # => nil
-        end

+    ```
 
-        User.where(name: "John").create do |john|
-          User.find_by(name: "David") # => #<User name: "David", ...>
-        end
+    *Joé Dupuis*
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+*   Strict loading using `:n_plus_one_only` does not eagerly load child associations.
 
-*   Named scope chain does no longer leak scope to class level querying methods.
-
-        class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-          scope :david, -> { User.where(name: "David") }
-        end
+    With this change, child associations are no longer eagerly loaded, to
+    match intended behavior and to prevent non-deterministic order issues caused
+    by calling methods like `first` or `last`. As `first` and `last` don't cause
+    an N+1 by themselves, calling child associations will no longer raise.
+    Fixes #49473.
 
     Before:
 
-        User.where(name: "John").david
-        # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'John' AND name = 'David'
+    ```ruby
+    person = Person.find(1)
+    person.strict_loading!(mode: :n_plus_one_only)
+    person.posts.first
+    # SELECT * FROM posts WHERE person_id = 1; -- non-deterministic order
+    person.posts.first.firm # raises ActiveRecord::StrictLoadingViolationError

-
-*   Remove deprecated methods from `ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations`.

-    `first`
-    `values`
-    `[]=`
-
-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
-
-*   `where.not` now generates NAND predicates instead of NOR.
-
-     Before:
-
-        User.where.not(name: "Jon", role: "admin")
-        # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name != 'Jon' AND role != 'admin'
-
-     After:

-        # SELECT * FROM users WHERE NOT (name == 'Jon' AND role == 'admin')
-
-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
-
-*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Result#to_hash` method.
+    ```ruby
+    person = Person.find(1)
+    person.strict_loading!(mode: :n_plus_one_only)
+    person.posts.first # this is 1+1, not N+1
+    # SELECT * FROM posts WHERE person_id = 1 ORDER BY id LIMIT 1;

-*   Deprecate `ActiveRecord::Base.allow_unsafe_raw_sql`.
+*   Allow `Sqlite3Adapter` to use `sqlite3` gem version `2.x`.
 
-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
+    *Mike Dalessio*
 
-*   Remove deprecated support for using unsafe raw SQL in `ActiveRecord::Relation` methods.
+*   Allow `ActiveRecord::Base#pluck` to accept hash values.
 
-    *Rafael Mendonça França*
+    ```ruby
+    # Before
+    Post.joins(:comments).pluck("posts.id", "comments.id", "comments.body")
 
-*   Allow users to silence the "Rails couldn't infer whether you are using multiple databases..."
-    message using `config.active_record.suppress_multiple_database_warning`.
+    # After
+    Post.joins(:comments).pluck(posts: [:id], comments: [:id, :body])
+    ```
 
-    *Omri Gabay*

-*   Connections can be granularly switched for abstract classes when `connected_to` is called.
+*   Raise an `ActiveRecord::ActiveRecordError` error when the MySQL database returns an invalid version string.
 
-    This change allows `connected_to` to switch a `role` and/or `shard` for a single abstract class instead of all classes globally. Applications that want to use the new feature need to set `config.active_record.legacy_connection_handling` to `false` in their application configuration.
+    *Kevin McPhillips*
 
-    Example usage:
+*   `ActiveRecord::Base.transaction` now yields an `ActiveRecord::Transaction` object.
 
-    Given an application we have a `User` model that inherits from `ApplicationRecord` and a `Dog` model that inherits from `AnimalsRecord`. `AnimalsRecord` and `ApplicationRecord` have writing and reading connections as well as shard `default`, `one`, and `two`.
+    This allows to register callbacks on it.
 
     ```ruby
-    ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :reading) do
-      User.first # reads from default replica
-      Dog.first # reads from default replica
-
-      AnimalsRecord.connected_to(role: :writing, shard: :one) do
-        User.first # reads from default replica
-        Dog.first # reads from shard one primary
-      end
-
-      User.first # reads from default replica
-      Dog.first # reads from default replica
-
-      ApplicationRecord.connected_to(role: :writing, shard: :two) do
-        User.first # reads from shard two primary
-        Dog.first # reads from default replica

-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
-
-*   Allow double-dash comment syntax when querying read-only databases
-
-    *James Adam*
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-*   Add `values_at` method.
+*   Add `ActiveRecord::Base.current_transaction`.
 
-    Returns an array containing the values associated with the given methods.
+    Returns the current transaction, to allow registering callbacks on it.
 
     ```ruby
-    topic = Topic.first
-    topic.values_at(:title, :author_name)
-    # => ["Budget", "Jason"]
+    Article.current_transaction.after_commit do
+      PublishNotificationMailer.with(article: article).deliver_later
+    end
     ```
 
-    Similar to `Hash#values_at` but on an Active Record instance.
-
-    *Guillaume Briday*
-
-*   Fix `read_attribute_before_type_cast` to consider attribute aliases.
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-    *Marcelo Lauxen*
+*   Add `ActiveRecord.after_all_transactions_commit` callback.
 
-*   Support passing record to uniqueness validator `:conditions` callable:
+    Useful for code that may run either inside or outside a transaction and needs
+    to perform work after the state changes have been properly persisted.
 
     ```ruby
-    class Article < ApplicationRecord
-      validates_uniqueness_of :title, conditions: ->(article) {
-        published_at = article.published_at
-        where(published_at: published_at.beginning_of_year..published_at.end_of_year)
-      }
+    def publish_article(article)
+      article.update(published: true)
+      ActiveRecord.after_all_transactions_commit do
+        PublishNotificationMailer.with(article: article).deliver_later
+      end
     end
     ```
 
-    *Eliot Sykes*
+    In the above example, the block is either executed immediately if called outside
+    of a transaction, or called after the open transaction is committed.
 
-*   `BatchEnumerator#update_all` and `BatchEnumerator#delete_all` now return the
-    total number of rows affected, just like their non-batched counterparts.
+    If the transaction is rolled back, the block isn't called.
 
-    ```ruby
-    Person.in_batches.update_all("first_name = 'Eugene'") # => 42
-    Person.in_batches.delete_all # => 42
-    ```
-
-    Fixes #40287.
-
-    *Eugene Kenny*
-
-*   Add support for PostgreSQL `interval` data type with conversion to
-    `ActiveSupport::Duration` when loading records from database and
-    serialization to ISO 8601 formatted duration string on save.
-    Add support to define a column in migrations and get it in a schema dump.
-    Optional column precision is supported.
-
-    To use this in 6.1, you need to place the next string to your model file:
-
-        attribute :duration, :interval
-
-    To keep old behavior until 7.0 is released:
-
-        attribute :duration, :string
-
-    Example:
-
-        create_table :events do |t|
-          t.string   :name
-          t.interval :duration
-        end
-
-        class Event < ApplicationRecord
-          attribute :duration, :interval
-        end
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-        Event.create!(name: 'Rock Fest', duration: 2.days)
-        Event.last.duration # => 2 days
-        Event.last.duration.iso8601 # => "P2D"
-        Event.new(duration: 'P1DT12H3S').duration # => 1 day, 12 hours, and 3 seconds
-        Event.new(duration: '1 day') # Unknown value will be ignored and NULL will be written to database
+*   Add the ability to ignore counter cache columns until they are backfilled.
 
-    *Andrey Novikov*
+    Starting to use counter caches on existing large tables can be troublesome, because the column
+    values must be backfilled separately of the column addition (to not lock the table for too long)
+    and before the use of `:counter_cache` (otherwise methods like `size`/`any?`/etc, which use
+    counter caches internally, can produce incorrect results). People usually use database triggers
+    or callbacks on child associations while backfilling before introducing a counter cache
+    configuration to the association.
 
-*   Allow associations supporting the `dependent:` key to take `dependent: :destroy_async`.
+    Now, to safely backfill the column, while keeping the column updated with child records added/removed, use:
 
     ```ruby
-    class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
-        belongs_to :supplier, dependent: :destroy_async
+    class Comment < ApplicationRecord
+      belongs_to :post, counter_cache: { active: false }
     end
     ```
 
-    `:destroy_async` will enqueue a job to destroy associated records in the background.
+    While the counter cache is not "active", the methods like `size`/`any?`/etc will not use it,
+    but get the results directly from the database. After the counter cache column is backfilled, simply
+    remove the `{ active: false }` part from the counter cache definition, and it will now be used by the
+    mentioned methods.

-*   Add `SKIP_TEST_DATABASE` environment variable to disable modifying the test database when `rails db:create` and `rails db:drop` are called.
+*   Retry known idempotent SELECT queries on connection-related exceptions.
 
-    *Jason Schweier*
+    SELECT queries we construct by walking the Arel tree and / or with known model attributes
+    are idempotent and can safely be retried in the case of a connection error. Previously,
+    adapters such as `TrilogyAdapter` would raise `ActiveRecord::ConnectionFailed: Trilogy::EOFError`
+    when encountering a connection error mid-request.
 
-*   `connects_to` can only be called on `ActiveRecord::Base` or abstract classes.
+    *Adrianna Chang*
 
-    Ensure that `connects_to` can only be called from `ActiveRecord::Base` or abstract classes. This protects the application from opening duplicate or too many connections.
+*   Allow association's `foreign_key` to be composite.
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
+    `query_constraints` option was the only way to configure a composite foreign key by passing an `Array`.
+    Now it's possible to pass an Array value as `foreign_key` to achieve the same behavior of an association.
 
-*   All connection adapters `execute` now raises `ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished` rather than
-    `ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid` when they encounter a connection error.
+    *Nikita Vasilevsky*
 
-    *Jean Boussier*
+*   Allow association's `primary_key` to be composite.
 
-*   `Mysql2Adapter#quote_string` now raises `ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished` rather than
-    `ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid` when it can't connect to the MySQL server.
+    Association's `primary_key` can be composite when derived from associated model `primary_key` or `query_constraints`.
+    Now it's possible to explicitly set it as composite on the association.
 
-    *Jean Boussier*
+    *Nikita Vasilevsky*
 
-*   Add support for check constraints that are `NOT VALID` via `validate: false` (PostgreSQL-only).
+*   Add `config.active_record.permanent_connection_checkout` setting.
 
-    *Alex Robbin*
+    Controls whether `ActiveRecord::Base.connection` raises an error, emits a deprecation warning, or neither.
 
-*   Ensure the default configuration is considered primary or first for an environment
+    `ActiveRecord::Base.connection` checkouts a database connection from the pool and keeps it leased until the end of
+    the request or job. This behavior can be undesirable in environments that use many more threads or fibers than there
+    is available connections.
 
-    If a multiple database application provides a configuration named primary, that will be treated as default. In applications that do not have a primary entry, the default database configuration will be the first configuration for an environment.
+    This configuration can be used to track down and eliminate code that calls `ActiveRecord::Base.connection` and
+    migrate it to use `ActiveRecord::Base.with_connection` instead.
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
+    The default behavior remains unchanged, and there is currently no plans to change the default.
 
-*   Allow `where` references association names as joined table name aliases.
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-    ```ruby
-    class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
-      enum label: [:default, :child]
-      has_many :children, class_name: "Comment", foreign_key: :parent_id
-    end
+*   Add dirties option to uncached.
 
-    # ... FROM comments LEFT OUTER JOIN comments children ON ... WHERE children.label = 1
-    Comment.includes(:children).where("children.label": "child")
-    ```
+    This adds a `dirties` option to `ActiveRecord::Base.uncached` and
+    `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionPool#uncached`.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    When set to `true` (the default), writes will clear all query caches belonging to the current thread.
+    When set to `false`, writes to the affected connection pool will not clear any query cache.
 
-*   Support storing demodulized class name for polymorphic type.
+    This is needed by Solid Cache so that cache writes do not clear query caches.
 
-    Before Rails 6.1, storing demodulized class name is supported only for STI type
-    by `store_full_sti_class` class attribute.
+    *Donal McBreen*
 
-    Now `store_full_class_name` class attribute can handle both STI and polymorphic types.
+*   Deprecate `ActiveRecord::Base.connection` in favor of `.lease_connection`.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    The method has been renamed as `lease_connection` to better reflect that the returned
+    connection will be held for the duration of the request or job.
 
-*   Deprecate `rails db:structure:{load, dump}` tasks and extend
-    `rails db:schema:{load, dump}` tasks to work with either `:ruby` or `:sql` format,
-    depending on `config.active_record.schema_format` configuration value.
+    This deprecation is a soft deprecation, no warnings will be issued and there is no
+    current plan to remove the method.
 
-    *fatkodima*
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-*   Respect the `select` values for eager loading.
+*   Deprecate `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionPool#connection`.
 
-    ```ruby
-    post = Post.select("UPPER(title) AS title").first
-    post.title # => "WELCOME TO THE WEBLOG"
-    post.body  # => ActiveModel::MissingAttributeError
-
-    # Rails 6.0 (ignore the `select` values)
-    post = Post.select("UPPER(title) AS title").eager_load(:comments).first
-    post.title # => "Welcome to the weblog"
-    post.body  # => "Such a lovely day"
-
-    # Rails 6.1 (respect the `select` values)
-    post = Post.select("UPPER(title) AS title").eager_load(:comments).first
-    post.title # => "WELCOME TO THE WEBLOG"
-    post.body  # => ActiveModel::MissingAttributeError

+    The method has been renamed as `lease_connection` to better reflect that the returned
+    connection will be held for the duration of the request or job.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-*   Allow attribute's default to be configured but keeping its own type.
+*   Expose a generic fixture accessor for fixture names that may conflict with Minitest.
 
     ```ruby
-    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-      attribute :written_at, default: -> { Time.now.utc }
-    end
-
-    # Rails 6.0
-    Post.type_for_attribute(:written_at) # => #<Type::Value ... precision: nil, ...>
-
-    # Rails 6.1
-    Post.type_for_attribute(:written_at) # => #<Type::DateTime ... precision: 6, ...>
+    assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", web_sites(:rubyonrails).name
+    assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", fixture(:web_sites, :rubyonrails).name
     ```
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-*   Allow default to be configured for Enum.
+*   Using `Model.query_constraints` with a single non-primary-key column used to raise as expected, but with an
+    incorrect error message.
 
-    ```ruby
-    class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
-      enum status: [:proposed, :written, :published], _default: :published
-    end
+    This has been fixed to raise with a more appropriate error message.
 
-    Book.new.status # => "published"
-    ```
+    *Joshua Young*
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+*   Fix `has_one` association autosave setting the foreign key attribute when it is unchanged.
 
-*   Deprecate YAML loading from legacy format older than Rails 5.0.
+    This behavior is also inconsistent with autosaving `belongs_to` and can have unintended side effects like raising
+    an `ActiveRecord::ReadonlyAttributeError` when the foreign key attribute is marked as read-only.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Joshua Young*
 
-*   Added the setting `ActiveRecord::Base.immutable_strings_by_default`, which
-    allows you to specify that all string columns should be frozen unless
-    otherwise specified. This will reduce memory pressure for applications which
-    do not generally mutate string properties of Active Record objects.
+*   Remove deprecated behavior that would rollback a transaction block when exited using `return`, `break` or `throw`.
 
-    *Sean Griffin*, *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Deprecate `map!` and `collect!` on `ActiveRecord::Result`.
+*   Deprecate `Rails.application.config.active_record.commit_transaction_on_non_local_return`.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Support `relation.and` for intersection as Set theory.
+*   Remove deprecated support to pass `rewhere` to `ActiveRecord::Relation#merge`.
 
-    ```ruby
-    david_and_mary = Author.where(id: [david, mary])
-    mary_and_bob   = Author.where(id: [mary, bob])
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    david_and_mary.merge(mary_and_bob) # => [mary, bob]
+*   Remove deprecated support to pass `deferrable: true` to `add_foreign_key`.
 
-    david_and_mary.and(mary_and_bob) # => [mary]
-    david_and_mary.or(mary_and_bob)  # => [david, mary, bob]
-    ```
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+*   Remove deprecated support to quote `ActiveSupport::Duration`.
 
-*   Merging conditions on the same column no longer maintain both conditions,
-    and will be consistently replaced by the latter condition in Rails 7.0.
-    To migrate to Rails 7.0's behavior, use `relation.merge(other, rewhere: true)`.
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    ```ruby
-    # Rails 6.1 (IN clause is replaced by merger side equality condition)
-    Author.where(id: [david.id, mary.id]).merge(Author.where(id: bob)) # => [bob]
+*   Remove deprecated `#quote_bound_value`.
 
-    # Rails 6.1 (both conflict conditions exists, deprecated)
-    Author.where(id: david.id..mary.id).merge(Author.where(id: bob)) # => []
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    # Rails 6.1 with rewhere to migrate to Rails 7.0's behavior
-    Author.where(id: david.id..mary.id).merge(Author.where(id: bob), rewhere: true) # => [bob]
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionPool#connection_klass`.
 
-    # Rails 7.0 (same behavior with IN clause, mergee side condition is consistently replaced)
-    Author.where(id: [david.id, mary.id]).merge(Author.where(id: bob)) # => [bob]
-    Author.where(id: david.id..mary.id).merge(Author.where(id: bob)) # => [bob]
-    ```
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+*   Remove deprecated support to apply `#connection_pool_list`, `#active_connections?`, `#clear_active_connections!`,
+    `#clear_reloadable_connections!`, `#clear_all_connections!` and `#flush_idle_connections!` to the connections pools
+    for the current role when the `role` argument isn't provided.
 
-*   Do not mark Postgresql MAC address and UUID attributes as changed when the assigned value only varies by case.
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    *Peter Fry*
+*   Remove deprecated `#all_connection_pools`.
 
-*   Resolve issue with insert_all unique_by option when used with expression index.
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    When the `:unique_by` option of `ActiveRecord::Persistence.insert_all` and
-    `ActiveRecord::Persistence.upsert_all` was used with the name of an expression index, an error
-    was raised. Adding a guard around the formatting behavior for the `:unique_by` corrects this.
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaCache#data_sources`.
 
-    Usage:
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    ```ruby
-    create_table :books, id: :integer, force: true do |t|
-      t.column :name, :string
-      t.index "lower(name)", unique: true
-    end
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaCache.load_from`.
 
-    Book.insert_all [{ name: "MyTest" }], unique_by: :index_books_on_lower_name
-    ```
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    Fixes #39516.
+*   Remove deprecated `#all_foreign_keys_valid?` from database adapters.
 
-    *Austen Madden*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Add basic support for CHECK constraints to database migrations.
+*   Remove deprecated support to passing coder and class as second argument to `serialize`.
 
-    Usage:
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    ```ruby
-    add_check_constraint :products, "price > 0", name: "price_check"
-    remove_check_constraint :products, name: "price_check"
-    ```
+*   Remove deprecated support to `ActiveRecord::Base#read_attribute(:id)` to return the custom primary key value.
 
-    *fatkodima*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Add `ActiveRecord::Base.strict_loading_by_default` and `ActiveRecord::Base.strict_loading_by_default=`
-    to enable/disable strict_loading mode by default for a model. The configuration's value is
-    inheritable by subclasses, but they can override that value and it will not impact parent class.
+*   Remove deprecated `TestFixtures.fixture_path`.
 
-    Usage:
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    ```ruby
-    class Developer < ApplicationRecord
-      self.strict_loading_by_default = true
+*   Remove deprecated behavior to support referring to a singular association by its plural name.
 
-      has_many :projects
-    end
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    dev = Developer.first
-    dev.projects.first
-    # => ActiveRecord::StrictLoadingViolationError Exception: Developer is marked as strict_loading and Project cannot be lazily loaded.
-    ```
+*   Deprecate `Rails.application.config.active_record.allow_deprecated_singular_associations_name`.
 
-    *bogdanvlviv*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Deprecate passing an Active Record object to `quote`/`type_cast` directly.
+*   Remove deprecated support to passing `SchemaMigration` and `InternalMetadata` classes as arguments to
+    `ActiveRecord::MigrationContext`.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Default engine `ENGINE=InnoDB` is no longer dumped to make schema more agnostic.
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Migration.check_pending!` method.
 
-    Before:
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    ```ruby
-    create_table "accounts", options: "ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci", force: :cascade do |t|
-    end
-    ```
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::LogSubscriber.runtime` method.
 
-    After:
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    ```ruby
-    create_table "accounts", charset: "utf8mb4", collation: "utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci", force: :cascade do |t|
-    end
-    ```
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::LogSubscriber.runtime=` method.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Added delegated type as an alternative to single-table inheritance for representing class hierarchies.
-    See ActiveRecord::DelegatedType for the full description.
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::LogSubscriber.reset_runtime` method.
 
-    *DHH*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Deprecate aggregations with group by duplicated fields.
+*   Remove deprecated support to define `explain` in the connection adapter with 2 arguments.
 
-    To migrate to Rails 7.0's behavior, use `uniq!(:group)` to deduplicate group fields.
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    ```ruby
-    accounts = Account.group(:firm_id)
-
-    # duplicated group fields, deprecated.
-    accounts.merge(accounts.where.not(credit_limit: nil)).sum(:credit_limit)
-    # => {
-    #   [1, 1] => 50,
-    #   [2, 2] => 60
-    # }
-
-    # use `uniq!(:group)` to deduplicate group fields.
-    accounts.merge(accounts.where.not(credit_limit: nil)).uniq!(:group).sum(:credit_limit)
-    # => {
-    #   1 => 50,
-    #   2 => 60
-    # }
-    ```
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::ActiveJobRequiredError`.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Deprecate duplicated query annotations.
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Base.clear_active_connections!`.
 
-    To migrate to Rails 7.0's behavior, use `uniq!(:annotate)` to deduplicate query annotations.
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    ```ruby
-    accounts = Account.where(id: [1, 2]).annotate("david and mary")
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Base.clear_reloadable_connections!`.
 
-    # duplicated annotations, deprecated.
-    accounts.merge(accounts.rewhere(id: 3))
-    # SELECT accounts.* FROM accounts WHERE accounts.id = 3 /* david and mary */ /* david and mary */
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    # use `uniq!(:annotate)` to deduplicate annotations.
-    accounts.merge(accounts.rewhere(id: 3)).uniq!(:annotate)
-    # SELECT accounts.* FROM accounts WHERE accounts.id = 3 /* david and mary */
-    ```
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Base.clear_all_connections!`.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Resolve conflict between counter cache and optimistic locking.
+*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Base.flush_idle_connections!`.
 
-    Bump an Active Record instance's lock version after updating its counter
-    cache. This avoids raising an unnecessary `ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError`
-    upon subsequent transactions by maintaining parity with the corresponding
-    database record's `lock_version` column.
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    Fixes #16449.
+*   Remove deprecated `name` argument from `ActiveRecord::Base.remove_connection`.
 
-    *Aaron Lipman*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Support merging option `:rewhere` to allow mergee side condition to be replaced exactly.
+*   Remove deprecated support to call `alias_attribute` with non-existent attribute names.
 
-    ```ruby
-    david_and_mary = Author.where(id: david.id..mary.id)
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    # both conflict conditions exists
-    david_and_mary.merge(Author.where(id: bob)) # => []
+*   Remove deprecated `Rails.application.config.active_record.suppress_multiple_database_warning`.
 
-    # mergee side condition is replaced by rewhere
-    david_and_mary.merge(Author.rewhere(id: bob)) # => [bob]
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    # mergee side condition is replaced by rewhere option
-    david_and_mary.merge(Author.where(id: bob), rewhere: true) # => [bob]
-    ```
+*   Add `ActiveRecord::Encryption::MessagePackMessageSerializer`.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    Serialize data to the MessagePack format, for efficient storage in binary columns.
 
-*   Add support for finding records based on signed ids, which are tamper-proof, verified ids that can be
-    set to expire and scoped with a purpose. This is particularly useful for things like password reset
-    or email verification, where you want the bearer of the signed id to be able to interact with the
-    underlying record, but usually only within a certain time period.
+    The binary encoding requires around 30% less space than the base64 encoding
+    used by the default serializer.
 
-    ```ruby
-    signed_id = User.first.signed_id expires_in: 15.minutes, purpose: :password_reset
+    *Donal McBreen*
 
-    User.find_signed signed_id # => nil, since the purpose does not match
+*   Add support for encrypting binary columns.
 
-    travel 16.minutes
-    User.find_signed signed_id, purpose: :password_reset # => nil, since the signed id has expired
+    Ensure encryption and decryption pass `Type::Binary::Data` around for binary data.
 
-    travel_back
-    User.find_signed signed_id, purpose: :password_reset # => User.first
+    Previously encrypting binary columns with the `ActiveRecord::Encryption::MessageSerializer`
+    incidentally worked for MySQL and SQLite, but not PostgreSQL.
 
-    User.find_signed! "bad data" # => ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier::InvalidSignature
-    ```
+    *Donal McBreen*
 
-    *DHH*
+*   Deprecated `ENV["SCHEMA_CACHE"]` in favor of `schema_cache_path` in the database configuration.
 
-*   Support `ALGORITHM = INSTANT` DDL option for index operations on MySQL.
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+*   Add `ActiveRecord::Base.with_connection` as a shortcut for leasing a connection for a short duration.
 
-*   Fix index creation to preserve index comment in bulk change table on MySQL.
+    The leased connection is yielded, and for the duration of the block, any call to `ActiveRecord::Base.connection`
+    will yield that same connection.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    This is useful to perform a few database operations without causing a connection to be leased for the
+    entire duration of the request or job.
 
-*   Allow `unscope` to be aware of table name qualified values.
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-    It is possible to unscope only the column in the specified table.
+*   Deprecate `config.active_record.warn_on_records_fetched_greater_than` now that `sql.active_record`
+    notification includes `:row_count` field.
 
-    ```ruby
-    posts = Post.joins(:comments).group(:"posts.hidden")
-    posts = posts.where("posts.hidden": false, "comments.hidden": false)
+    *Jason Nochlin*
 
-    posts.count
-    # => { false => 10 }
+*   The fix ensures that the association is joined using the appropriate join type
+    (either inner join or left outer join) based on the existing joins in the scope.
 
-    # unscope both hidden columns
-    posts.unscope(where: :hidden).count
-    # => { false => 11, true => 1 }
+    This prevents unintentional overrides of existing join types and ensures consistency in the generated SQL queries.
 
-    # unscope only comments.hidden column
-    posts.unscope(where: :"comments.hidden").count
-    # => { false => 11 }
-    ```
+    Example:
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*, *Slava Korolev*
 
-*   Fix `rewhere` to truly overwrite collided where clause by new where clause.
 
     ```ruby
-    steve = Person.find_by(name: "Steve")
-    david = Author.find_by(name: "David")
-
-    relation = Essay.where(writer: steve)
+    # `associated` will use `LEFT JOIN` instead of using `JOIN`
+    Post.left_joins(:author).where.associated(:author)
+    ```
 
-    # Before
-    relation.rewhere(writer: david).to_a # => []
+    *Saleh Alhaddad*
 
-    # After
-    relation.rewhere(writer: david).to_a # => [david]
-    ```
+*   Fix an issue where `ActiveRecord::Encryption` configurations are not ready before the loading
+    of Active Record models, when an application is eager loaded. As a result, encrypted attributes
+    could be misconfigured in some cases.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    *Maxime Réty*
 
-*   Inspect time attributes with subsec and time zone offset.
+*   Deprecate defining an `enum` with keyword arguments.
 
     ```ruby
-    p Knot.create
-    => #<Knot id: 1, created_at: "2016-05-05 01:29:47.116928000 +0000">
+    class Function > ApplicationRecord
+      # BAD
+      enum color: [:red, :blue],
+           type: [:instance, :class]
+
+      # GOOD
+      enum :color, [:red, :blue]
+      enum :type, [:instance, :class]
+    end
     ```
 
-    *akinomaeni*, *Jonathan Hefner*
-
-*   Deprecate passing a column to `type_cast`.
-
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
-
-*   Deprecate `in_clause_length` and `allowed_index_name_length` in `DatabaseLimits`.
-
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
-
-*   Support bulk insert/upsert on relation to preserve scope values.
-
-    *Josef Šimánek*, *Ryuta Kamizono*
-
-*   Preserve column comment value on changing column name on MySQL.
+    *Hartley McGuire*
 
-    *Islam Taha*
+*   Add `config.active_record.validate_migration_timestamps` option for validating migration timestamps.
 
-*   Add support for `if_exists` option for removing an index.
+    When set, validates that the timestamp prefix for a migration is no more than a day ahead of
+    the timestamp associated with the current time. This is designed to prevent migrations prefixes
+    from being hand-edited to future timestamps, which impacts migration generation and other
+    migration commands.
 
-    The `remove_index` method can take an `if_exists` option. If this is set to true an error won't be raised if the index doesn't exist.
+    *Adrianna Chang*
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
+*   Properly synchronize `Mysql2Adapter#active?` and `TrilogyAdapter#active?`.
 
-*   Remove ibm_db, informix, mssql, oracle, and oracle12 Arel visitors which are not used in the code base.
+    As well as `disconnect!` and `verify!`.
 
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
+    This generally isn't a big problem as connections must not be shared between
+    threads, but is required when running transactional tests or system tests
+    and could lead to a SEGV.
 
-*   Prevent `build_association` from `touching` a parent record if the record isn't persisted for `has_one` associations.
-
-    Fixes #38219.
-
-    *Josh Brody*
-
-*   Add support for `if_not_exists` option for adding index.
-
-    The `add_index` method respects `if_not_exists` option. If it is set to true
-    index won't be added.
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-    Usage:
+*   Support `:source_location` tag option for query log tags.
 
     ```ruby
-      add_index :users, :account_id, if_not_exists: true
+    config.active_record.query_log_tags << :source_location
     ```
 
-    The `if_not_exists` option passed to `create_table` also gets propagated to indexes
-    created within that migration so that if table and its indexes exist then there is no
-    attempt to create them again.
-
-    *Prathamesh Sonpatki*
-
-*   Add `ActiveRecord::Base#previously_new_record?` to show if a record was new before the last save.
+    Calculating the caller location is a costly operation and should be used primarily in development
+    (note, there is also a `config.active_record.verbose_query_logs` that serves the same purpose)
+    or occasionally on production for debugging purposes.
 
-    *Tom Ward*
-
-*   Support descending order for `find_each`, `find_in_batches`, and `in_batches`.
-
-    Batch processing methods allow you to work with the records in batches, greatly reducing memory consumption, but records are always batched from oldest id to newest.
+    *fatkodima*
 
-    This change allows reversing the order, batching from newest to oldest. This is useful when you need to process newer batches of records first.
+*   Add an option to `ActiveRecord::Encryption::Encryptor` to disable compression.
 
-    Pass `order: :desc` to yield batches in descending order. The default remains `order: :asc`.
+    Allow compression to be disabled by setting `compress: false`
 
     ```ruby
-    Person.find_each(order: :desc) do |person|
-      person.party_all_night!
-    end
+      class User
+        encrypts :name, encryptor: ActiveRecord::Encryption::Encryptor.new(compress: false)
+      end
     ```
 
-    *Alexey Vasiliev*
+    *Donal McBreen*
 
-*   Fix `insert_all` with enum values.
+*   Deprecate passing strings to `ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.cache_dump_filename`.
 
-    Fixes #38716.
+    A `ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations::DatabaseConfig` object should be passed instead.
 
-    *Joel Blum*
+    *Rafael Mendonça França*
 
-*   Add support for `db:rollback:name` for multiple database applications.
+*   Add `row_count` field to `sql.active_record` notification.
 
-    Multiple database applications will now raise if `db:rollback` is call and recommend using the `db:rollback:[NAME]` to rollback migrations.
+    This field returns the amount of rows returned by the query that emitted the notification.
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
+    This metric is useful in cases where one wants to detect queries with big result sets.
 
-*   `Relation#pick` now uses already loaded results instead of making another query.
+    *Marvin Bitterlich*
 
-    *Eugene Kenny*
+*   Consistently raise an `ArgumentError` when passing an invalid argument to a nested attributes association writer.
 
-*   Deprecate using `return`, `break` or `throw` to exit a transaction block after writes.
+    Previously, this would only raise on collection associations and produce a generic error on singular associations.
 
-    *Dylan Thacker-Smith*
+    Now, it will raise on both collection and singular associations.
 
-*   Dump the schema or structure of a database when calling `db:migrate:name`.
+    *Joshua Young*
 
-    In previous versions of Rails, `rails db:migrate` would dump the schema of the database. In Rails 6, that holds true (`rails db:migrate` dumps all databases' schemas), but `rails db:migrate:name` does not share that behavior.
+*   Fix single quote escapes on default generated MySQL columns.
 
-    Going forward, calls to `rails db:migrate:name` will dump the schema (or structure) of the database being migrated.
+    MySQL 5.7.5+ supports generated columns, which can be used to create a column that is computed from an expression.
 
-    *Kyle Thompson*
+    Previously, the schema dump would output a string with double escapes for generated columns with single quotes in the default expression.
 
-*   Reset the `ActiveRecord::Base` connection after `rails db:migrate:name`.
+    This would result in issues when importing the schema on a fresh instance of a MySQL database.
 
-    When `rails db:migrate` has finished, it ensures the `ActiveRecord::Base` connection is reset to its original configuration. Going forward, `rails db:migrate:name` will have the same behavior.
+    Now, the string will not be escaped and will be valid Ruby upon importing of the schema.
 
-    *Kyle Thompson*
+    *Yash Kapadia*
 
-*   Disallow calling `connected_to` on subclasses of `ActiveRecord::Base`.
+*   Fix Migrations with versions older than 7.1 validating options given to
+    `add_reference` and `t.references`.
 
-    Behavior has not changed here but the previous API could be misleading to people who thought it would switch connections for only that class. `connected_to` switches the context from which we are getting connections, not the connections themselves.
+    *Hartley McGuire*
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
+*   Add `<role>_types` class method to `ActiveRecord::DelegatedType` so that the delegated types can be introspected.
 
-*   Add support for horizontal sharding to `connects_to` and `connected_to`.
+    *JP Rosevear*
 
-    Applications can now connect to multiple shards and switch between their shards in an application. Note that the shard swapping is still a manual process as this change does not include an API for automatic shard swapping.
+*   Make `schema_dump`, `query_cache`, `replica` and `database_tasks` configurable via `DATABASE_URL`.
 
-    Usage:
+    This wouldn't always work previously because boolean values would be interpreted as strings.
 
-    Given the following configuration:
+    e.g. `DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/foo?schema_dump=false` now properly disable dumping the schema
+    cache.
 
-    ```yaml
-    # config/database.yml
-    production:
-      primary:
-        database: my_database
-      primary_shard_one:
-        database: my_database_shard_one
-    ```
+    *Mike Coutermarsh*, *Jean Boussier*
 
-    Connect to multiple shards:
+*   Introduce `ActiveRecord::Transactions::ClassMethods#set_callback`.
 
-    ```ruby
-    class ApplicationRecord < ActiveRecord::Base
-      self.abstract_class = true
+     It is identical to `ActiveSupport::Callbacks::ClassMethods#set_callback`
+     but with support for `after_commit` and `after_rollback` callback options.
 
-      connects_to shards: {
-        default: { writing: :primary },
-        shard_one: { writing: :primary_shard_one }
-      }
-    ```
+    *Joshua Young*
 
-    Swap between shards in your controller / model code:
+*   Make `ActiveRecord::Encryption::Encryptor` agnostic of the serialization format used for encrypted data.
 
-    ```ruby
-    ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(shard: :shard_one) do
-      # Read from shard one
-    end
-    ```
+    Previously, the encryptor instance only allowed an encrypted value serialized as a `String` to be passed to the message serializer.
+
+    Now, the encryptor lets the configured `message_serializer` decide which types of serialized encrypted values are supported. A custom serialiser is therefore allowed to serialize `ActiveRecord::Encryption::Message` objects using a type other than `String`.
 
-    The horizontal sharding API also supports read replicas. See guides for more details.
+    The default `ActiveRecord::Encryption::MessageSerializer` already ensures that only `String` objects are passed for deserialization.
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
+    *Maxime Réty*
 
-*   Deprecate `spec_name` in favor of `name` on database configurations.
+*   Fix `encrypted_attribute?` to take into account context properties passed to `encrypts`.
 
-    The accessors for `spec_name` on `configs_for` and `DatabaseConfig` are deprecated. Please use `name` instead.
+    *Maxime Réty*
 
-    Deprecated behavior:
+*   The object returned by `explain` now responds to `pluck`, `first`,
+    `last`, `average`, `count`, `maximum`, `minimum`, and `sum`. Those
+    new methods run `EXPLAIN` on the corresponding queries:
 
     ```ruby
-    db_config = ActiveRecord::Base.configurations.configs_for(env_name: "development", spec_name: "primary")
-    db_config.spec_name
+    User.all.explain.count
+    # EXPLAIN SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `users`
+    # ...
+
+    User.all.explain.maximum(:id)
+    # EXPLAIN SELECT MAX(`users`.`id`) FROM `users`
+    # ...
     ```
 
-    New behavior:
+    *Petrik de Heus*
 
-    ```ruby
-    db_config = ActiveRecord::Base.configurations.configs_for(env_name: "development", name: "primary")
-    db_config.name
-    ```
+*   Fixes an issue where `validates_associated` `:on`  option wasn't respected
+    when validating associated records.
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
+    *Austen Madden*, *Alex Ghiculescu*, *Rafał Brize*
 
-*   Add additional database-specific rake tasks for multi-database users.
+*   Allow overriding SQLite defaults from `database.yml`.
 
-    Previously, `rails db:create`, `rails db:drop`, and `rails db:migrate` were the only rails tasks that could operate on a single
-    database. For example:
+    Any PRAGMA configuration set under the `pragmas` key in the configuration
+    file takes precedence over Rails' defaults, and additional PRAGMAs can be
+    set as well.
 
-    ```
-    rails db:create
-    rails db:create:primary
-    rails db:create:animals
-    rails db:drop
-    rails db:drop:primary
-    rails db:drop:animals
-    rails db:migrate
-    rails db:migrate:primary
-    rails db:migrate:animals
+    ```yaml
+    database: storage/development.sqlite3
+    timeout: 5000
+    pragmas:
+      journal_mode: off
+      temp_store: memory
     ```
 
-    With these changes, `rails db:schema:dump`, `rails db:schema:load`, `rails db:structure:dump`, `rails db:structure:load` and
-    `rails db:test:prepare` can additionally operate on a single database. For example:
+    *Stephen Margheim*
 
-    ```
-    rails db:schema:dump
-    rails db:schema:dump:primary
-    rails db:schema:dump:animals
-    rails db:schema:load
-    rails db:schema:load:primary
-    rails db:schema:load:animals
-    rails db:structure:dump
-    rails db:structure:dump:primary
-    rails db:structure:dump:animals
-    rails db:structure:load
-    rails db:structure:load:primary
-    rails db:structure:load:animals
-    rails db:test:prepare
-    rails db:test:prepare:primary
-    rails db:test:prepare:animals
-    ```
+*   Remove warning message when running SQLite in production, but leave it unconfigured.
 
-    *Kyle Thompson*
+    There are valid use cases for running SQLite in production. However, it must be done
+    with care, so instead of a warning most users won't see anyway, it's preferable to
+    leave the configuration commented out to force them to think about having the database
+    on a persistent volume etc.
 
-*   Add support for `strict_loading` mode on association declarations.
+    *Jacopo Beschi*, *Jean Boussier*
 
-    Raise an error if attempting to load a record from an association that has been marked as `strict_loading` unless it was explicitly eager loaded.
+*   Add support for generated columns to the SQLite3 adapter.
 
-    Usage:
+    Generated columns (both stored and dynamic) are supported since version 3.31.0 of SQLite.
+    This adds support for those to the SQLite3 adapter.
 
     ```ruby
-    class Developer < ApplicationRecord
-      has_many :projects, strict_loading: true
+    create_table :users do |t|
+      t.string :name
+      t.virtual :name_upper, type: :string, as: 'UPPER(name)'
+      t.virtual :name_lower, type: :string, as: 'LOWER(name)', stored: true
     end
-
-    dev = Developer.first
-    dev.projects.first
-    # => ActiveRecord::StrictLoadingViolationError: The projects association is marked as strict_loading and cannot be lazily loaded.
     ```
 
-    *Kevin Deisz*
+    *Stephen Margheim*
 
-*   Add support for `strict_loading` mode to prevent lazy loading of records.
+*   TrilogyAdapter: ignore `host` if `socket` parameter is set.
 
-    Raise an error if a parent record is marked as `strict_loading` and attempts to lazily load its associations. This is useful for finding places you may want to preload an association and avoid additional queries.
+    This allows to configure a connection on a UNIX socket via `DATABASE_URL`:
 
-    Usage:
-
-    ```ruby
-    dev = Developer.strict_loading.first
-    dev.audit_logs.to_a
-    # => ActiveRecord::StrictLoadingViolationError: Developer is marked as strict_loading and AuditLog cannot be lazily loaded.
+    ```
+    DATABASE_URL=trilogy://does-not-matter/my_db_production?socket=/var/run/mysql.sock
     ```
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *Aaron Patterson*
-
-*   Add support for PostgreSQL 11+ partitioned indexes when using `upsert_all`.
-
-    *Sebastián Palma*
-
-*   Adds support for `if_not_exists` to `add_column` and `if_exists` to `remove_column`.
+    *Jean Boussier*
 
-    Applications can set their migrations to ignore exceptions raised when adding a column that already exists or when removing a column that does not exist.
+*   Make `assert_queries_count`, `assert_no_queries`, `assert_queries_match`, and
+    `assert_no_queries_match` assertions public.
 
-    Example Usage:
+    To assert the expected number of queries are made, Rails internally uses `assert_queries_count` and
+    `assert_no_queries`. To assert that specific SQL queries are made, `assert_queries_match` and
+    `assert_no_queries_match` are used. These assertions can now be used in applications as well.
 
     ```ruby
-    class AddColumnTitle < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.1]
-      def change
-        add_column :posts, :title, :string, if_not_exists: true
+    class ArticleTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
+      test "queries are made" do
+        assert_queries_count(1) { Article.first }
       end
-    end
-    ```
 
-    ```ruby
-    class RemoveColumnTitle < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.1]
-      def change
-        remove_column :posts, :title, if_exists: true
+      test "creates a foreign key" do
+        assert_queries_match(/ADD FOREIGN KEY/i, include_schema: true) do
+          @connection.add_foreign_key(:comments, :posts)
+        end
       end
     end
     ```
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
-
-*   Regexp-escape table name for MS SQL Server.
-
-    Add `Regexp.escape` to one method in ActiveRecord, so that table names with regular expression characters in them work as expected. Since MS SQL Server uses "[" and "]" to quote table and column names, and those characters are regular expression characters, methods like `pluck` and `select` fail in certain cases when used with the MS SQL Server adapter.
-
-    *Larry Reid*
-
-*   Store advisory locks on their own named connection.
-
-    Previously advisory locks were taken out against a connection when a migration started. This works fine in single database applications but doesn't work well when migrations need to open new connections which results in the lock getting dropped.
-
-    In order to fix this we are storing the advisory lock on a new connection with the connection specification name `AdvisoryLockBase`. The caveat is that we need to maintain at least 2 connections to a database while migrations are running in order to do this.
+    *Petrik de Heus*, *fatkodima*
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
+*   Fix `has_secure_token` calls the setter method on initialize.
 
-*   Allow schema cache path to be defined in the database configuration file.
+    *Abeid Ahmed*
 
-    For example:
+*   When using a `DATABASE_URL`, allow for a configuration to map the protocol in the URL to a specific database
+    adapter. This allows decoupling the adapter the application chooses to use from the database connection details
+    set in the deployment environment.
 
-    ```yaml
-    development:
-      adapter: postgresql
-      database: blog_development
-      pool: 5
-      schema_cache_path: tmp/schema/main.yml
+    ```ruby
+    # ENV['DATABASE_URL'] = "mysql://localhost/example_database"
+    config.active_record.protocol_adapters.mysql = "trilogy"
+    # will connect to MySQL using the trilogy adapter
     ```
 
-    *Katrina Owen*
-
-*   Deprecate `#remove_connection` in favor of `#remove_connection_pool` when called on the handler.
-
-    `#remove_connection` is deprecated in order to support returning a `DatabaseConfig` object instead of a `Hash`. Use `#remove_connection_pool`, `#remove_connection` will be removed in Rails 7.0.
+    *Jean Boussier*, *Kevin McPhillips*
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
+*   In cases where MySQL returns `warning_count` greater than zero, but returns no warnings when
+    the `SHOW WARNINGS` query is executed, `ActiveRecord.db_warnings_action` proc will still be
+    called with a generic warning message rather than silently ignoring the warning(s).
 
-*   Deprecate `#default_hash` and it's alias `#[]` on database configurations.
+    *Kevin McPhillips*
 
-    Applications should use `configs_for`. `#default_hash` and `#[]` will be removed in Rails 7.0.
+*   `DatabaseConfigurations#configs_for` accepts a symbol in the `name` parameter.
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
+    *Andrew Novoselac*
 
-*   Add scale support to `ActiveRecord::Validations::NumericalityValidator`.
+*   Fix `where(field: values)` queries when `field` is a serialized attribute
+    (for example, when `field` uses `ActiveRecord::Base.serialize` or is a JSON
+    column).
 
-    *Gannon McGibbon*
+    *João Alves*
 
-*   Find orphans by looking for missing relations through chaining `where.missing`:
+*   Make the output of `ActiveRecord::Core#inspect` configurable.
 
-    Before:
+    By default, calling `inspect` on a record will yield a formatted string including just the `id`.
 
     ```ruby
-    Post.left_joins(:author).where(authors: { id: nil })
+    Post.first.inspect #=> "#<Post id: 1>"
     ```
 
-    After:
-
-    ```ruby
-    Post.where.missing(:author)
-    ```
-
-    *Tom Rossi*
-
-*   Ensure `:reading` connections always raise if a write is attempted.
-
-    Now Rails will raise an `ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyError` if any connection on the reading handler attempts to make a write. If your reading role needs to write you should name the role something other than `:reading`.
-
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
-
-*   Deprecate `"primary"` as the `connection_specification_name` for `ActiveRecord::Base`.
-
-    `"primary"` has been deprecated as the `connection_specification_name` for `ActiveRecord::Base` in favor of using `"ActiveRecord::Base"`. This change affects calls to `ActiveRecord::Base.connection_handler.retrieve_connection` and `ActiveRecord::Base.connection_handler.remove_connection`. If you're calling these methods with `"primary"`, please switch to `"ActiveRecord::Base"`.
-
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
-
-*   Add `ActiveRecord::Validations::NumericalityValidator` with
-    support for casting floats using a database columns' precision value.
-
-    *Gannon McGibbon*
-
-*   Enforce fresh ETag header after a collection's contents change by adding
-    ActiveRecord::Relation#cache_key_with_version. This method will be used by
-    ActionController::ConditionalGet to ensure that when collection cache versioning
-    is enabled, requests using ConditionalGet don't return the same ETag header
-    after a collection is modified.
-
-    Fixes #38078.
-
-    *Aaron Lipman*
-
-*   Skip test database when running `db:create` or `db:drop` in development
-    with `DATABASE_URL` set.
-
-    *Brian Buchalter*
-
-*   Don't allow mutations on the database configurations hash.
-
-    Freeze the configurations hash to disallow directly changing it. If applications need to change the hash, for example to create databases for parallelization, they should use the `DatabaseConfig` object directly.
-
-    Before:
+    The attributes to be included in the output of `inspect` can be configured with
+    `ActiveRecord::Core#attributes_for_inspect`.
 
     ```ruby
-    @db_config = ActiveRecord::Base.configurations.configs_for(env_name: "test", spec_name: "primary")
-    @db_config.configuration_hash.merge!(idle_timeout: "0.02")
+    Post.attributes_for_inspect = [:id, :title]
+    Post.first.inspect #=> "#<Post id: 1, title: "Hello, World!">"
     ```
 
-    After:
+    With `attributes_for_inspect` set to `:all`, `inspect` will list all the record's attributes.
 
     ```ruby
-    @db_config = ActiveRecord::Base.configurations.configs_for(env_name: "test", spec_name: "primary")
-    config = @db_config.configuration_hash.merge(idle_timeout: "0.02")
-    db_config = ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations::HashConfig.new(@db_config.env_name, @db_config.spec_name, config)
+    Post.attributes_for_inspect = :all
+    Post.first.inspect #=> "#<Post id: 1, title: "Hello, World!", published_at: "2023-10-23 14:28:11 +0000">"
     ```
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
-
-*   Remove `:connection_id` from the `sql.active_record` notification.
-
-    *Aaron Patterson*, *Rafael Mendonça França*
-
-*   The `:name` key will no longer be returned as part of `DatabaseConfig#configuration_hash`. Please use `DatabaseConfig#owner_name` instead.
-
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
-
-*   ActiveRecord's `belongs_to_required_by_default` flag can now be set per model.
-
-    You can now opt-out/opt-in specific models from having their associations required
-    by default.
-
-    This change is meant to ease the process of migrating all your models to have
-    their association required.
-
-    *Edouard Chin*
-
-*   The `connection_config` method has been deprecated, please use `connection_db_config` instead which will return a `DatabaseConfigurations::DatabaseConfig` instead of a `Hash`.
-
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
-
-*   Retain explicit selections on the base model after applying `includes` and `joins`.
+    In `development` and `test` mode, `attributes_for_inspect` will be set to `:all` by default.
 
-    Resolves #34889.
+    You can also call `full_inspect` to get an inspection with all the attributes.
 
-    *Patrick Rebsch*
+    The attributes in `attribute_for_inspect` will also be used for `pretty_print`.
 
-*   The `database` kwarg is deprecated without replacement because it can't be used for sharding and creates an issue if it's used during a request. Applications that need to create new connections should use `connects_to` instead.
+    *Andrew Novoselac*
 
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
+*   Don't mark attributes as changed when reassigned to `Float::INFINITY` or
+    `-Float::INFINITY`.
 
-*   Allow attributes to be fetched from Arel node groupings.
+    *Maicol Bentancor*
 
-    *Jeff Emminger*, *Gannon McGibbon*
+*   Support the `RETURNING` clause for MariaDB.
 
-*   A database URL can now contain a querystring value that contains an equal sign. This is needed to support passing PostgreSQL `options`.
+    *fatkodima*, *Nikolay Kondratyev*
 
-    *Joshua Flanagan*
+*   The SQLite3 adapter now implements the `supports_deferrable_constraints?` contract.
 
-*   Calling methods like `establish_connection` with a `Hash` which is invalid (eg: no `adapter`) will now raise an error the same way as connections defined in `config/database.yml`.
-
-    *John Crepezzi*
-
-*   Specifying `implicit_order_column` now subsorts the records by primary key if available to ensure deterministic results.
-
-    *Paweł Urbanek*
-
-*   `where(attr => [])` now loads an empty result without making a query.
-
-    *John Hawthorn*
-
-*   Fixed the performance regression for `primary_keys` introduced MySQL 8.0.
-
-    *Hiroyuki Ishii*
-
-*   Add support for `belongs_to` to `has_many` inversing.
-
-    *Gannon McGibbon*
-
-*   Allow length configuration for `has_secure_token` method. The minimum length
-    is set at 24 characters.
-
-    Before:
+    Allows foreign keys to be deferred by adding the `:deferrable` key to the `foreign_key` options.
 
     ```ruby
-    has_secure_token :auth_token
+    add_reference :person, :alias, foreign_key: { deferrable: :deferred }
+    add_reference :alias, :person, foreign_key: { deferrable: :deferred }
     ```
 
-    After:
+    *Stephen Margheim*
+
+*   Add the `set_constraints` helper to PostgreSQL connections.
 
     ```ruby
-    has_secure_token :default_token             # 24 characters
-    has_secure_token :auth_token, length: 36    # 36 characters
-    has_secure_token :invalid_token, length: 12 # => ActiveRecord::SecureToken::MinimumLengthError
+    Post.create!(user_id: -1) # => ActiveRecord::InvalidForeignKey
+
+    Post.transaction do
+      Post.connection.set_constraints(:deferred)
+      p = Post.create!(user_id: -1)
+      u = User.create!
+      p.user = u
+      p.save!
+    end
     ```
 
-    *Bernardo de Araujo*
+    *Cody Cutrer*
 
-*   Deprecate `DatabaseConfigurations#to_h`. These connection hashes are still available via `ActiveRecord::Base.configurations.configs_for`.
+*   Include `ActiveModel::API` in `ActiveRecord::Base`.
 
-    *Eileen Uchitelle*, *John Crepezzi*
-
-*   Add `DatabaseConfig#configuration_hash` to return database configuration hashes with symbol keys, and use all symbol-key configuration hashes internally. Deprecate `DatabaseConfig#config` which returns a String-keyed `Hash` with the same values.
-
-    *John Crepezzi*, *Eileen Uchitelle*
-
-*   Allow column names to be passed to `remove_index` positionally along with other options.
-
-    Passing other options can be necessary to make `remove_index` correctly reversible.
-
-    Before:
-
-        add_index    :reports, :report_id               # => works
-        add_index    :reports, :report_id, unique: true # => works
-        remove_index :reports, :report_id               # => works
-        remove_index :reports, :report_id, unique: true # => ArgumentError
-
-    After:
-
-        remove_index :reports, :report_id, unique: true # => works
-
-    *Eugene Kenny*
-
-*   Allow bulk `ALTER` statements to drop and recreate indexes with the same name.
-
-    *Eugene Kenny*
-
-*   `insert`, `insert_all`, `upsert`, and `upsert_all` now clear the query cache.
-
-    *Eugene Kenny*
-
-*   Call `while_preventing_writes` directly from `connected_to`.
-
-    In some cases application authors want to use the database switching middleware and make explicit calls with `connected_to`. It's possible for an app to turn off writes and not turn them back on by the time we call `connected_to(role: :writing)`.
-
-    This change allows apps to fix this by assuming if a role is writing we want to allow writes, except in the case it's explicitly turned off.
-
-    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*
-
-*   Improve detection of ActiveRecord::StatementTimeout with mysql2 adapter in the edge case when the query is terminated during filesort.
-
-    *Kir Shatrov*
-
-*   Stop trying to read yaml file fixtures when loading Active Record fixtures.
-
-    *Gannon McGibbon*
-
-*   Deprecate `.reorder(nil)` with `.first` / `.first!` taking non-deterministic result.
-
-    To continue taking non-deterministic result, use `.take` / `.take!` instead.
-
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
-
-*   Preserve user supplied joins order as much as possible.
-
-    Fixes #36761, #34328, #24281, #12953.
-
-    *Ryuta Kamizono*
-
-*   Allow `matches_regex` and `does_not_match_regexp` on the MySQL Arel visitor.
-
-    *James Pearson*
-
-*   Allow specifying fixtures to be ignored by setting `ignore` in YAML file's '_fixture' section.
-
-    *Tongfei Gao*
-
-*   Make the DATABASE_URL env variable only affect the primary connection. Add new env variables for multiple databases.
-
-    *John Crepezzi*, *Eileen Uchitelle*
-
-*   Add a warning for enum elements with 'not_' prefix.
-
-        class Foo
-          enum status: [:sent, :not_sent]
-        end
-
-    *Edu Depetris*
-
-*   Make currency symbols optional for money column type in PostgreSQL.
-
-    *Joel Schneider*
-
-*   Add support for beginless ranges, introduced in Ruby 2.7.
-
-    *Josh Goodall*
-
-*   Add `database_exists?` method to connection adapters to check if a database exists.
-
-    *Guilherme Mansur*
-
-*   Loading the schema for a model that has no `table_name` raises a `TableNotSpecified` error.
-
-    *Guilherme Mansur*, *Eugene Kenny*
-
-*   PostgreSQL: Fix GROUP BY with ORDER BY virtual count attribute.

-
-    *Martin R. Schuster*
-
-*   Fix invalid schema when primary key column has a comment.

-    Fixes #29966.
+*   Ensure `#signed_id` outputs `url_safe` strings.
 
-    *Guilherme Goettems Schneider*
+    *Jason Meller*
 
-*   Fix table comment also being applied to the primary key column.
+*   Add `nulls_last` and working `desc.nulls_first` for MySQL.
 
-    *Guilherme Goettems Schneider*
+    *Tristan Fellows*
 
-*   Allow generated `create_table` migrations to include or skip timestamps.
+*   Allow for more complex hash arguments for `order` which mimics `where` in `ActiveRecord::Relation`.
 
-    *Michael Duchemin*
