Ransack 1.6.3 for Rails 3 and 4 (bug fix)

• Fix a regression (#496) caused by ee571fe where passing a multi-parameter attribute (like date_select) raised RuntimeError: can't add a new key into hash during iteration, and add a regression spec for the issue.

Nate Berkopec, Jon Atack

• Update travis-ci to no longer test Rails 3.1 with Ruby 2.2 and speed up the test matrix.
• Refactor Nodes::Condition.

Jon Atack

Ransack 1.6.2 for Rails 3 and 4 (bug fix)

• Fix a regression (#494) where passing an array of routes to search_form_for no longer worked.

Daniel Rikowski

• Add a failing/passing spec to catch the issue in the future.

Jon Atack

Ransack 1.6.1 for Rails 3 and 4 (bug fix)

• Fix a regression with using in predicates caused by PR #488 and add a test.
• README improvements to clarify sort_link syntax with associations and Ransack#search vs #ransack.
• Default the Gemfile to Rails 4-2-stable.

Jon Atack

Ransack 1.6.0 for Rails 3 and 4 with Active Record and Mongoid

Added

• Add support for using Ransack with Mongoid 4.0 without associations (PR #407).

Zhomart Mukhamejanov

• Add support and tests for passing stringy booleans for ransackable scopes (PR #460).

Josh Kovach

• Add an sort_link option to not display sort direction arrows (PR #473).

Fred Bergman

• Numerous documentation improvements to the README, Contributing Guide and wiki.

Jon Atack

Fixed

• Fix passing arrays to ransackers with Rails 4.2 / Arel 6.0 (pull requests #486 and #488).

Idean Labib

• Make search_form_for's default :as option respect the custom search key if it has been set (PR #470). Prior to this change, if you set a custom search_key option in the Ransack initializer file, you'd have to also pass an as: :whatever option to all of the search forms. Fixes #92.

Robert Speicher

• Fix sorting on polymorphic associations due to missing downcase (PR #467).

Eugen Neagoe

• Fix Rails 5 / Arel 5 compatibility after the Arel and Active Record API changed.
• Fix and add tests for sort_link default_order parsing if the option is set as a string instead of symbol.
• Fix and add a test to handle nil in options passed to sort_link.
• Fix #search method name conflicts in the README.

Jon Atack

Changed

• Refactor and DRY up FormHelper#SortLink. Encapsulate parsing into a Plain Old Ruby Object with few public methods and small, private functional methods. Limit mutations to explicit methods and mutate no ivars.
• Numerous speed improvements by using more specific Ruby methods like:
• Hash#each_key instead of Hash#keys.each
• #none? instead of select#empty?
• #any? instead of #select followed by #any?
• #flat_map instead of #flatten followed by #map
• !include? instead of #none?
• Replace string#freeze instances with top level constants to reduce string allocations in Ruby < 2.1.
• Remove unneeded Ransack:: namespacing on most of the constants.
• In enumerable methods, pass a symbol as an argument instead of a block.
• Update Travis-ci for Rails 5.0.0 and 4-2-stable.
• Update the Travis-ci tests and the Gemfile for Ruby 2.2.
• Replace #search with #ransack class methods in the README and wiki code examples. Enabling the #search alias by default may possibly be deprecated in the next major release (Ransack v.2.0.0) to address #369.

Ransack 1.5.1 for Rails 3, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2

Fixed

• Fix a regression caused by incorrect string constants in context.rb.

Kazuhiro Nishiyama

Added

• Add base specs for search on fields with _start and _end.

Jon Atack

• Add a failing spec for detecting attribute fields containing _and_ that needs to be fixed. Attribute names containing _and_ and _or_ are still not parsed/detected correctly.

Jon Atack

Changed

• Remove duplicate code in spec/support/schema.rb.

Jon Atack

Ransack 1.5.0 for Rails 3, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2

Added

• Add support for multiple sort fields and default orders in Ransack sort_link helpers (pull request).

Caleb Land, James u007

• Add tests for lteq, lt, gteq and gt predicates. They are also tested in Arel, but testing them in Ransack has proven useful to detect issues.

Jon Atack

• Add tests for unknown attribute names.

Joe Yates

• Add tests for attribute names containing _or_ and _and_.

Joe Yates, Jon Atack

• Add tests for attribute names ending with _start and _end.

Jon Atack, Timo Schilling

• Add tests for start, not_start, end and not_end predicates, with emphasis on cases when attribute names end with _start and _end.

Jon Atack

Fixed

• Fix a regression where form labels for attributes through a belongs_to association without a translation for the attribute in the locales file would cause a "no implicit conversion of nil into Hash" crash instead of falling back on the attribute name. Added test coverage.

John Dell, Jon Atack, jasdeepgosal

• Fix the form_helper date_select spec that was failing with Rails 4.2 and master.

Jon Atack

• Improve attribute_method? parsing for attribute names containing _and_ and _or_. Attributes named like foo_and_bar or foo_or_bar are recognized now instead of running failing checks for foo and bar.

CORRECTION October 28, 2014: this feature is still not working -- to be fixed.

Joe Yates

• Improve attribute_method? parsing for attribute names ending with a predicate like _start and _end. For instance, a foo_start attribute is now recognized instead of raising a NoMethodError.

Timo Schilling, Jon Atack

Changed

• Reduce object allocations and memory footprint (with a slight speed gain as well) by extracting commonly used strings into top level constants and replacing calls to #try methods with simple nil checking.

Jon Atack

Ransack 1.4.1 for Rails 3, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2

Ransack version 1.4.1 - September 23, 2014

Fix README so the documentation can be properly parsed by RubyGems.

Ransack 1.4.0 for Rails 3, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2

Ransack version 1.4.0 - September 23, 2014

Added

• Add support for Rails 4.2.0! Let us know if you encounter any issues.

Xiang Li

• Add not_true and not_false predicates and update the "Basic Searching"
  wiki. Fixes #123, #353.

Pedro Chambino

• Add ro.yml Romanian translation file.

Andreas Philippi

• Add new documentation in the README explaining how to group queries by OR
  instead of the default AND using the m: 'or' combinator.
• Add new documentation in the README and in the source code comments
  explaining in detail how to handle whitelisting/authorization of
  attributes, associations, sorts and scopes.
• Add new documentation in the README explaining in more detail how to use
  scopes for searching with Ransack.
• Begin a CHANGELOG.

Jon Atack

Fixed

• Fix singular/plural Active Record attribute translations.

Andreas Philippi

• Fix the params hash being modified by Search.new and the Ransack scope.

Daniel Rikowski

• Apply default scope conditions for association joins (fix for Rails 3).

Avoid selecting records from joins that would normally be filtered out
if they were selected from the base table. Only applies to Rails 3, as
this issue was fixed in Rails 4.

Andrew Vit

• Fix incoherent code examples in the README Associations section that
  sometimes used @q and other times @search.

Jon Atack

Changed

• Refactor Ransack::Translate.
• Rewrite much of the Ransack README documentation, including the
  Associations section code examples and the Authorizations section detailing
  how to whitelist attributes, associations, sorts and scopes.
