    order.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Raises when a through association has an ambiguous reflection name.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Raises when `ActiveRecord::Migration` is inherited directly.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `original_exception` argument in `ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid#initialize`
    and `ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid#original_exception`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   `#tables` and `#table_exists?` return only tables and not views.

    All the deprecations on those methods were removed.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `name` argument from `#tables`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated support to passing a column to `#quote`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

    explictly set.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated force reload argument in singular and collection association readers.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `activerecord.errors.messages.restrict_dependent_destroy.one` and
    `activerecord.errors.messages.restrict_dependent_destroy.many` i18n scopes.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Allow passing extra flags to `db:structure:load` and `db:structure:dump`

    Introduces `ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.structure_(load|dump)_flags` to customize the
    eventual commands run against the database, e.g. mysqldump/pg_dump.

    *Kir Shatrov*

*   Notifications see frozen SQL string.

    Fixes #23774.

    *Richard Monette*

*   RuntimeErrors are no longer translated to `ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid`.

    *Richard Monette*

*   Change the schema cache format to use YAML instead of Marshal.

    *Kir Shatrov*

*   Support index length and order options using both string and symbol
    column names.

    Fixes #27243.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Raise `ActiveRecord::RangeError` when values that executed are out of range.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Raise `ActiveRecord::NotNullViolation` when a record cannot be inserted
    or updated because it would violate a not null constraint.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Emulate db trigger behaviour for after_commit :destroy, :update.

    Race conditions can occur when an ActiveRecord is destroyed
    twice or destroyed and updated. The callbacks should only be
    triggered once, similar to a SQL database trigger.

    *Stefan Budeanu*

*   Moved `DecimalWithoutScale`, `Text`, and `UnsignedInteger` from Active Model to Active Record.

    *Iain Beeston*

*   Fix `write_attribute` method to check whether an attribute is aliased or not, and
    use the aliased attribute name if needed.

    *Prathamesh Sonpatki*

*   Fix `read_attribute` method to check whether an attribute is aliased or not, and
    use the aliased attribute name if needed.

    Fixes #26417.

    *Prathamesh Sonpatki*

*   PostgreSQL & MySQL: Use big integer as primary key type for new tables.

    *Jon McCartie*, *Pavel Pravosud*

*   Change the type argument of `ActiveRecord::Base#attribute` to be optional.
    The default is now `ActiveRecord::Type::Value.new`, which provides no type
    casting behavior.

    *Sean Griffin*

*   Fix that unsigned with zerofill is treated as signed.

    Fixes #27125.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Fix the uniqueness validation scope with a polymorphic association.

    *Sergey Alekseev*

*   Raise `ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound` from collection `*_ids` setters
    for unknown IDs with a better error message.

    Changes the collection `*_ids` setters to cast provided IDs the data
    type of the primary key set in the association, not the model
    primary key.

    *Dominic Cleal*

*   For PostgreSQL >= 9.4 use `pgcrypto`'s `gen_random_uuid()` instead of
    `uuid-ossp`'s UUID generation function.

    *Yuji Yaginuma*, *Yaw Boakye*

*   Introduce `Model#reload_<association>` to bring back the behavior
    of `Article.category(true)` where `category` is a singular
    association.

    The force reloading of the association reader was deprecated
    in #20888. Unfortunately the suggested alternative of
    `article.reload.category` does not expose the same behavior.

    This patch adds a reader method with the prefix `reload_` for
    singular associations. This method has the same semantics as
    passing true to the association reader used to have.

    *Yves Senn*

*   Make sure eager loading `ActiveRecord::Associations` also loads
    constants defined in `ActiveRecord::Associations::Preloader`.

    *Yves Senn*

*   Allow `ActionController::Parameters`-like objects to be passed as
    values for Postgres HStore columns.

    Fixes #26904.

    *Jon Moss*

*   Added `stat` method to `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionPool`.

    Example:

        ActiveRecord::Base.connection_pool.stat # =>
        { size: 15, connections: 1, busy: 1, dead: 0, idle: 0, waiting: 0, checkout_timeout: 5 }

    *Pavel Evstigneev*

*   Avoid `unscope(:order)` when `limit_value` is presented for `count`
    and `exists?`.

    If `limit_value` is presented, records fetching order is very important
    for performance. We should not unscope the order in the case.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Fix an Active Record `DateTime` field `NoMethodError` caused by incomplete
    datetime.

    Fixes #24195.

    *Sen Zhang*

*   Allow `slice` to take an array of methods(without the need for splatting).

    *Cohen Carlisle*

*   Improved partial writes with HABTM and has many through associations
    to fire database query only if relation has been changed.

    Fixes #19663.

    *Mehmet Emin İNAÇ*

*   Deprecate passing arguments and block at the same time to
    `ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#select`.

    *Prathamesh Sonpatki*

*   Optimistic locking: Added ability to update `locking_column` value.
    Ignore optimistic locking if trying to update with new `locking_column` value.

    *bogdanvlviv*

*   Fixed: Optimistic locking does not work well with `null` in the database.

    Fixes #26024.

    *bogdanvlviv*

*   Fixed support for case insensitive comparisons of `text` columns in
    PostgreSQL.

    *Edho Arief*

*   Serialize JSON attribute value `nil` as SQL `NULL`, not JSON `null`.

    *Trung Duc Tran*

*   Return `true` from `update_attribute` when the value of the attribute
    to be updated is unchanged.

    Fixes #26593.

    *Prathamesh Sonpatki*

*   Always store errors details information with symbols.

    When the association is autosaved we were storing the details with
    string keys. This was creating inconsistency with other details that are
    added using the `Errors#add` method. It was also inconsistent with the
    `Errors#messages` storage.

    To fix this inconsistency we are always storing with symbols. This will
    cause a small breaking change because in those cases the details could
    be accessed as strings keys but now it can not.

    Fix #26499.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*, *Marcus Vieira*

*   Calling `touch` on a model using optimistic locking will now leave the model
    in a non-dirty state with no attribute changes.

    Fixes #26496.

    *Jakob Skjerning*

*   Using a mysql2 connection after it fails to reconnect will now have an error message
    saying the connection is closed rather than an undefined method error message.

    *Dylan Thacker-Smith*

*   PostgreSQL array columns will now respect the encoding of strings contained
    in the array.

    Fixes #26326.

    *Sean Griffin*

*   Inverse association instances will now be set before `after_find` or
    `after_initialize` callbacks are run.

    Fixes #26320.

    *Sean Griffin*

*   Remove unnecessarily association load when a `belongs_to` association has already been
    loaded then the foreign key is changed directly and the record saved.

    *James Coleman*

*   Remove standardized column types/arguments spaces in schema dump.

    *Tim Petricola*

*   Avoid loading records from database when they are already loaded using
    the `pluck` method on a collection.

    Fixes #25921.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Remove text default treated as an empty string in non-strict mode for
    consistency with other types.

    Strict mode controls how MySQL handles invalid or missing values in
    data-change statements such as INSERT or UPDATE. If strict mode is not
    in effect, MySQL inserts adjusted values for invalid or missing values
    and produces warnings.

        def test_mysql_not_null_defaults_non_strict
          using_strict(false) do
            with_mysql_not_null_table do |klass|
              record = klass.new
              assert_nil record.non_null_integer
              assert_nil record.non_null_string
              assert_nil record.non_null_text
              assert_nil record.non_null_blob

              record.save!
              record.reload

              assert_equal 0,  record.non_null_integer
              assert_equal "", record.non_null_string
              assert_equal "", record.non_null_text
              assert_equal "", record.non_null_blob
            end
          end
        end

    https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/sql-mode.html#sql-mode-strict

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Sqlite3 migrations to add a column to an existing table can now be
    successfully rolled back when the column was given and invalid column
    type.

    Fixes #26087.

    *Travis O'Neill*

*   Deprecate `sanitize_conditions`. Use `sanitize_sql` instead.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Doing count on relations that contain LEFT OUTER JOIN Arel node no longer
    force a DISTINCT. This solves issues when using count after a left_joins.

    *Maxime Handfield Lapointe*

*   RecordNotFound raised by association.find exposes `id`, `primary_key` and
    `model` methods to be consistent with RecordNotFound raised by Record.find.

    *Michel Pigassou*

*   Hashes can once again be passed to setters of `composed_of`, if all of the
    mapping methods are methods implemented on `Hash`.

    Fixes #25978.

    *Sean Griffin*

*   Fix the SELECT statement in `#table_comment` for MySQL.

    *Takeshi Akima*

*   Virtual attributes will no longer raise when read on models loaded from the
    database.

    *Sean Griffin*

*   Support calling the method `merge` in `scope`'s lambda.

    *Yasuhiro Sugino*

*   Fixes multi-parameter attributes conversion with invalid params.

    *Hiroyuki Ishii*

*   Add newline between each migration in `structure.sql`.

    Keeps schema migration inserts as a single commit, but allows for easier
    git diffing.

    Fixes #25504.

    *Grey Baker*, *Norberto Lopes*

*   The flag `error_on_ignored_order_or_limit` has been deprecated in favor of
    the current `error_on_ignored_order`.

    *Xavier Noria*

*   Batch processing methods support `limit`:

        Post.limit(10_000).find_each do |post|
          # ...
        end

    It also works in `find_in_batches` and `in_batches`.

    *Xavier Noria*

*   Using `group` with an attribute that has a custom type will properly cast
    the hash keys after calling a calculation method like `count`.

    Fixes #25595.

    *Sean Griffin*

*   Fix the generated `#to_param` method to use `omission: ''` so that
    the resulting output is actually up to 20 characters, not
    effectively 17 to leave room for the default "...".
    Also call `#parameterize` before `#truncate` and make the
    `separator: /-/` to maximize the information included in the
    output.

    Fixes #23635.

    *Rob Biedenharn*

*   Ensure concurrent invocations of the connection reaper cannot allocate the
    same connection to two threads.

    Fixes #25585.

    *Matthew Draper*

*   Inspecting an object with an associated array of over 10 elements no longer
    truncates the array, preventing `inspect` from looping infinitely in some
    cases.

    *Kevin McPhillips*

*   Removed the unused methods `ActiveRecord::Base.connection_id` and
    `ActiveRecord::Base.connection_id=`.

    *Sean Griffin*

*   Ensure hashes can be assigned to attributes created using `composed_of`.

    Fixes #25210.

    *Sean Griffin*

*   Fix logging edge case where if an attribute was of the binary type and
    was provided as a Hash.

    *Jon Moss*

*   Handle JSON deserialization correctly if the column default from database
    adapter returns `''` instead of `nil`.

    *Johannes Opper*

*   Introduce `ActiveRecord::TransactionSerializationError` for catching
    transaction serialization failures or deadlocks.

    *Erol Fornoles*

*   PostgreSQL: Fix `db:structure:load` silent failure on SQL error.

    The command line flag `-v ON_ERROR_STOP=1` should be used
    when invoking `psql` to make sure errors are not suppressed.

    Example:

        psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -q -f awesome-file.sql my-app-db

    Fixes #23818.

    *Ralin Chimev*
