Week of April 30 - May 6, 2012

Lots of code tinkering this week, but no huge new features. Here are a few highlights.

  • 5c1109a6 adds a -i option to the rails generator to skip building the index.html file that you always delete anyhow.
  • 16e7f2f tweaks the Inflector code so that 'police' no longer singularizes to 'polouse'.
  • ActiveRecord::Base#ids shows up in 93076168 - it's like pluck specifically for the primary key of the main table.
  • 07e5301e forces the first finder to default to primary key order across all database engines. 489166e1 does the same for last. If you want the old behavior of first you can use take(introduced in 1379375f).
