* Default Encoding.default_internal to UTF-8
* Eliminated the use of file-wide magic comments to coerce code evaluated inside the file
* Read templates as BINARY, use default_external or template-wide magic comments
inside the Template to set the initial encoding
* This means that template handlers in Ruby 1.9 will receive Strings encoded
in default_internal (UTF-8 by default)
* Create a better Exception for encoding issues, and use it when the template
source has bytes that are not compatible with the specified encoding
* Allow template handlers to opt-into handling BINARY. If they do so, they
need to do some of their own manual encoding work
* Added a "Configuration Gotchas" section to the intro Rails Guide instructing
users to use UTF-8 for everything
* Use config.encoding= in Ruby 1.8, and raise if a value that is an invalid
$KCODE value is used
Also:
* Fixed a few tests that were assert() rather than assert_equal() and
were caught by Minitest requiring a String for the message
* Fixed a test where an assert_select was misformed, also caught by
Minitest being more restrictive
* Fixed a test where a Rack response was returning a String rather
than an Enumerable
This consists of:
* String#html_safe! a method to mark a string as 'safe'
* ActionView::SafeBuffer a string subclass which escapes anything unsafe which is concatenated to it
* Calls to String#html_safe! throughout the rails helpers
* a 'raw' helper which lets you concatenate trusted HTML from non-safety-aware sources (e.g. presantized strings in the DB)
* New ERB implementation based on erubis which uses a SafeBuffer instead of a String
Hat tip to Django for the inspiration.
* only one of partial_name or :as will be available as a local
* `object` is removed
* Simplify _layout_for in most cases.
* Remove <% render :partial do |args| %>
* <% render :partial do %> still works fine
ActionView::Template is now completely independent from template
storage, which allows different back ends such as the database.
ActionView::Template's only responsibility is to take in the
template source (passed in from ActionView::Path), compile it,
and render it.
Example: ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
All internal Rails JSON encoding is now handled by ActiveSupport::JSON.encode(). Use of #to_json is not recommended, as it may clash with other libraries that overwrite it. However, you can recover Rails specific functionality
if you really want to use #to_json.
gem 'json'
ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
class ActiveRecord::Base
alias to_json rails_to_json
end
