-
-If you're still on Ruby 1.8.7 or Ruby on Rails 2.3.x, you can still use Paperclip 2.7.x with your project. Also, everything in this README might not apply to your version of Paperclip, and you should read [the README for version 2.7](http://rubydoc.info/gems/paperclip/2.7.0) instead.

+If you are on Ubuntu (or any Debian base Linux distribution), you'll want to run
+the following with apt-get:
+
+    sudo apt-get install imagemagick -y
+
+### `file`
+
+The Unix [`file` command](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_(command)) is required for content-type checking.
+This utility isn't available in Windows, but comes bundled with Ruby [Devkit](https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit),
+so Windows users must make sure that the devkit is installed and added to the system `PATH`.
+
+**Manual Installation**
+
+If you're using Windows 7+ as a development environment, you may need to install the `file.exe` application manually. The `file spoofing` system in Paperclip 4+ relies on this; if you don't have it working, you'll receive `Validation failed: Upload file has an extension that does not match its contents.` errors.
+
+To manually install, you should perform the following:
+
+> **Download & install `file` from [this URL](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/file.htm)**
+
+To test, you can use the image below:
+![untitled](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1104431/4524452/a1f8cce4-4d44-11e4-872e-17adb96f79c9.png)
+
+Next, you need to integrate with your environment - preferably through the `PATH` variable, or by changing your `config/environments/development.rb` file
+
+**PATH**
+
+    1. Click "Start"
+    2. On "Computer", right-click and select "Properties"
+    3. In Properties, select "Advanced System Settings"
+    4. Click the "Environment Variables" button
+    5. Locate the "PATH" var - at the end, add the path to your newly installed `file.exe` (typically `C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin`)
+    6. Restart any CMD shells you have open & see if it works
+
+OR
+
+**Environment**
+
+    1. Open `config/environments/development.rb`
+    2. Add the following line: `Paperclip.options[:command_path] = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin'`
+    3. Restart your Rails server
+
+Either of these methods will give your Rails setup access to the `file.exe` functionality, thus providing the ability to check the contents of a file (fixing the spoofing problem)

+
+Security Validations
+====================
+
+Thanks to a report from [Egor Homakov](http://homakov.blogspot.com/) we have
+taken steps to prevent people from spoofing Content-Types and getting data
+you weren't expecting onto your server.
+
+NOTE: Starting at version 4.0.0, all attachments are *required* to include a
+content_type validation, a file_name validation, or to explicitly state that
+they're not going to have either. *Paperclip will raise an error* if you do not
+do this.
+
+```ruby
+class ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :avatar
+  # Validate content type
+  validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, content_type: /\Aimage/
+  # Validate filename
+  validates_attachment_file_name :avatar, matches: [/png\z/, /jpe?g\z/]
+  # Explicitly do not validate
+  do_not_validate_attachment_file_type :avatar
+end
+```
+
+This keeps Paperclip secure-by-default, and will prevent people trying to mess
+with your filesystem.
+
+NOTE: Also starting at version 4.0.0, Paperclip has another validation that
+cannot be turned off. This validation will prevent content type spoofing. That
+is, uploading a PHP document (for example) as part of the EXIF tags of a
+well-formed JPEG. This check is limited to the media type (the first part of the
+MIME type, so, 'text' in `text/plain`). This will prevent HTML documents from
+being uploaded as JPEGs, but will not prevent GIFs from being uploaded with a
+`.jpg` extension. This validation will only add validation errors to the form. It
+will not cause errors to be raised.
+
+This can sometimes cause false validation errors in applications that use custom
+file extensions. In these cases you may wish to add your custom extension to the
+list of content type mappings by creating `config/initializers/paperclip.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+# Allow ".foo" as an extension for files with the MIME type "text/plain".
+Paperclip.options[:content_type_mappings] = {
+  foo: %w(text/plain)
+}
+```

+IO Adapters
+-----------
+
+When a file is uploaded or attached, it can be in one of a few different input
+forms, from Rails' UploadedFile object to a StringIO to a Tempfile or even a
+simple String that is a URL that points to an image.
+
+Paperclip will accept, by default, many of these sources. It also is capable of
+handling even more with a little configuration. The IO Adapters that handle
+images from non-local sources are not enabled by default. They can be enabled by
+adding a line similar to the following into `config/initializers/paperclip.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+Paperclip::DataUriAdapter.register
+```
+
+It's best to only enable a remote-loading adapter if you need it. Otherwise
+there's a chance that someone can gain insight into your internal network
+structure using it as a vector.
+
+The following adapters are *not* loaded by default:
+
+* `Paperclip::UriAdapter` - which accepts a `URI` instance.
+* `Paperclip::HttpUrlProxyAdapter` - which accepts a `http` string.
+* `Paperclip::DataUriAdapter` - which accepts a Base64-encoded `data:` string.

 Post Processing
 ---------------
 
 Paperclip supports an extensible selection of post-processors. When you define
 a set of styles for an attachment, by default it is expected that those
-"styles" are actually "thumbnails". However, you can do much more than just
-thumbnail images. By defining a subclass of Paperclip::Processor, you can
-perform any processing you want on the files that are attached. Any file in
-your Rails app's lib/paperclip\_processors directory is automatically loaded by
-paperclip, allowing you to easily define custom processors. You can specify a
-processor with the :processors option to `has_attached_file`:
+"styles" are actually "thumbnails." These are processed by
+`Paperclip::Thumbnail`.  For backward compatibility reasons you can pass either
+a single geometry string, or an array containing a geometry and a format that
+the file will be converted to, like so:
+
+```ruby
+has_attached_file :avatar, styles: { thumb: ["32x32#", :png] }
+```
+
+This will convert the "thumb" style to a 32x32 square in PNG format, regardless
+of what was uploaded. If the format is not specified, it is kept the same (e.g.
+JPGs will remain JPGs). `Paperclip::Thumbnail` uses ImageMagick to process
+images; [ImageMagick's geometry documentation](http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php#geometry)
+has more information on the accepted style formats.
+
+For more fine-grained control of the conversion process, `source_file_options` and `convert_options` can be used to pass flags and settings directly to ImageMagick's powerful Convert tool, [documented here](https://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php). For example:
 
 ```ruby
-has_attached_file :scan, :styles => { :text => { :quality => :better } },
-                         :processors => [:ocr]
+has_attached_file :image, styles: { regular: ['800x800>', :png]}, 
+    source_file_options: { regular: "-density 96 -depth 8 -quality 85" },
+    convert_options: { regular: "-posterize 3"}
 ```
 
-This would load the hypothetical class Paperclip::Ocr, which would have the
-hash "{ :quality => :better }" passed to it along with the uploaded file. For
-more information about defining processors, see Paperclip::Processor.
+ImageMagick supports a number of environment variables for controlling its resource limits. For example, you can enforce memory or execution time limits by setting the following variables in your application's process environment:
+
+* `MAGICK_MEMORY_LIMIT=128MiB`
+* `MAGICK_MAP_LIMIT=64MiB`
+* `MAGICK_TIME_LIMIT=30`
 
-The default processor is Paperclip::Thumbnail. For backwards compatibility
-reasons, you can pass a single geometry string or an array containing a
-geometry and a format, which the file will be converted to, like so:
+For a full list of variables and description, see [ImageMagick's resources documentation](http://www.imagemagick.org/script/resources.php).

+
+Custom Attachment Processors
+-------
+
+You can write your own custom attachment processors to carry out tasks like
+adding watermarks, compressing images, or encrypting files. Custom processors
+must be defined within the `Paperclip` module, inherit from
+`Paperclip::Processor` (see [`lib/paperclip/processor.rb`](https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/blob/master/lib/paperclip/processor.rb)),
+and implement a `make` method that returns a `File`. All files in your Rails
+app's `lib/paperclip` and `lib/paperclip_processors` directories will be
+automatically loaded by Paperclip. Processors are specified using the
+`:processors` option to `has_attached_file`:
 
 ```ruby
-has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => { :thumb => ["32x32#", :png] }
+has_attached_file :scan, styles: { text: { quality: :better } },
+                         processors: [:ocr]
 ```
 
-This will convert the "thumb" style to a 32x32 square in png format, regardless
-of what was uploaded. If the format is not specified, it is kept the same (i.e.
-jpgs will remain jpgs). For more information on the accepted style formats, see
-[here](http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php#geometry).
+This would load the hypothetical class `Paperclip::Ocr`, and pass it the
+options hash `{ quality: :better }`, along with the uploaded file.
 
 Multiple processors can be specified, and they will be invoked in the order
-they are defined in the :processors array. Each successive processor will
-be given the result of the previous processor's execution. All processors will
-receive the same parameters, which are what you define in the :styles hash.
-For example, assuming we had this definition:
+they are defined in the `:processors` array. Each successive processor is given
+the result from the previous processor. All processors receive the same
+parameters, which are defined in the `:styles` hash.  For example, assuming we

 ```ruby
-has_attached_file :scan, :styles => { :text => { :quality => :better } },

+has_attached_file :scan, styles: { text: { quality: :better } },
+                         processors: [:rotator, :ocr]
 ```
 
-then both the :rotator processor and the :ocr processor would receive the
-options "{ :quality => :better }". This parameter may not mean anything to one
-or more or the processors, and they are expected to ignore it.
+Both the `:rotator` processor and the `:ocr` processor would receive the

+
+File Preservation for Soft-Delete
 -------
 
-Custom attachment processors can be implemented and their only requirement is
-to inherit from `Paperclip::Processor` (see `lib/paperclip/processor.rb`).
-For example, when `:styles` are specified for an image attachment, the
-thumbnail processor (see `lib/paperclip/thumbnail.rb`) is loaded without having
-to specify it as a `:processor` parameter to `has_attached_file`.  When any
-other processor is defined it must be called out in the `:processors`
-parameter if it is to be applied to the attachment.  The thumbnail processor
-uses the imagemagick `convert` command to do the work of resizing image
-thumbnails.  It would be easy to create a custom processor that watermarks
-an image using imagemagick's `composite` command.  Following the
-implementation pattern of the thumbnail processor would be a way to implement a
-watermark processor.  All kinds of attachment processors can be created;
-a few utility examples would be compression and encryption processors.
+An option is available to preserve attachments in order to play nicely with soft-deleted models. (acts_as_paranoid, paranoia, etc.)
 
+```ruby
+has_attached_file :some_attachment, {
+    preserve_files: true,
+}

+
+This will prevent ```some_attachment``` from being wiped out when the model gets destroyed, so it will still exist when the object is restored later.
