Rails World 2024 tickets on April 30, legacy index name format for Rails 7.0, etc

Emmanuel Hayford here, writing from Toruń, Poland.

We'll keep this one short.

Tickets for this year's Rails World will be available for purchase on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at 1 PM EDT from the official Rails World site. The Foundation has more information on tickets here.

On to your weekly dose of Rails updates:

Pre-7.1 Rails migrations use legacy index names when using rename_table
This pull request ensures compatibility for Rails versions before 7.1 by retaining the legacy index name format. Beginning with version 7.1, Rails introduced a new index name format. Consequently, migrations containing rename_table might generate index names distinct from those created between Rails 7.0 and 7.1. A similar pull request addressing migrations containing create_table was initiated last year.

Support hexBinary type in XML
This pull request introduces a hexBinary parser in XML. hexBinary stands out as one of the fundamental data types in XML that's not included in Rails until this addition.

Deprecate ActiveSupport::ProxyObject
This pull request deprecates ActiveSupport::ProxyObject in favor of Ruby's built-in BasicObject.

We had 31 contributors to the Rails codebase this past week! You can view this week's contributions in its entirety here.

Take care.
