CHANGELOG.md

4.8.1 - 2021-12-16

• enhancements
  • Add support for Rails 7.0. Please note that Turbo integration is not fully supported by Devise yet.

4.8.0 - 2021-04-29

• enhancements

  • Devise now enables the upgrade of OmniAuth 2+. Previously Devise would raise an error if you'd try to upgrade. Please note that OmniAuth 2 is considered a security upgrade and recommended to everyone. You can read more about the details (and possible necessary changes to your app as part of the upgrade) in their release notes. Devise's OmniAuth Overview wiki was also updated to cover OmniAuth 2.0 requirements.
    • Note that the upgrade required Devise shared links that initiate the OmniAuth flow to be changed to method: :post, which is now a requirement for OmniAuth, part of the security improvement. If you have copied and customized the Devise shared links partial to your app, or if you have other links in your app that initiate the OmniAuth flow, they will have to be updated to use method: :post, or changed to use buttons (e.g. button_to) to work with OmniAuth 2. (if you're using links with method: :post, make sure your app has rails-ujs or jquery-ujs included in order for these links to work properly.)
    • As part of the OmniAuth 2.0 upgrade you might also need to add the omniauth-rails_csrf_protection gem to your app if you don't have it already. (and you don't want to roll your own code to verify requests.) Check the OmniAuth v2 release notes for more info.
  • Introduce Lockable#reset_failed_attempts! model method to reset failed attempts counter to 0 after the user signs in.
    • This logic existed inside the lockable warden hook and is triggered automatically after the user signs in. The new model method is an extraction to allow you to override it in the application to implement things like switching to a write database if you're using the new multi-DB infrastructure from Rails for example, similar to how it's already possible with Trackable#update_tracked_fields!.
  • Add support for Ruby 3.
  • Add support for Rails 6.1.
  • Move CI to GitHub Actions.

This is because previously we were checking if a model is from Active Record by checking if the method after_commit was defined - since mongoid doesn' have one - but mongoid-paperclip gem does define one, which cause this issue. (by @fjg)

4.3.0 - 2017-05-14

• Enhancements
  • Dependency support added for Rails 5.1.x.

4.2.1 - 2017-03-15

• removals
  • Devise::Mailer#scope_name and Devise::Mailer#resource are now protected methods instead of public.
• bug fixes
  • Attempt to reset password without the password field in the request now results in a :blank validation error. Before this change, Devise would accept the reset password request and log the user in, without validating/changing the password. (by @victor-am)
  • Confirmation links now expire based on UTC time, working properly when using different timezones. (by @jjuliano)
• enhancements
  • Notify the original email when it is changed with a new Devise.send_email_changed_notification setting. When using reconfirmable, the notification will be sent right away instead of when the unconfirmed email is confirmed. (original change by @ethirajsrinivasan)

4.2.0 - 2016-07-01

• removals
  • Remove the deprecated Devise::ParameterSanitizer API from Devise 3. Please use the #permit and #sanitize methods over #for.
  • Remove the deprecated OmniAuth URL helpers. Use the fully qualified helpers (user_facebook_omniauth_authorize_path) over the scope based helpers ( user_omniauth_authorize_path(:facebook)).
  • Remove the Devise.bcrypt method, use Devise::Encryptor.digest instead.
  • Remove the Devise::Models::Confirmable#confirm! method, use confirm instead.
  • Remove the Devise::Models::Recoverable#reset_password! method, use reset_password instead.
  • Remove the Devise::Models::Recoverable#after_password_reset method.
• bug fixes
  • Fix an ActionDispatch::IllegalStateError when testing controllers with Rails 5 rc 2(by @hamadata).
  • Use ActiveSupport.on_load hooks to include Devise on ActiveRecord and Mongoid, avoiding autoloading these constants too soon (by @lucasmazza, @rafaelfranca).
• enhancements
  • Display the minimum password length on registrations/edit view (by @Yanchek99).
  • You can disable Devise's routes reloading on boot by through the reload_routes = false config. This can reduce the time taken to boot the application but it might trigger some errors if you application (mostly your controllers) requires that Devise mappings be loaded during boot time (by @sidonath).
  • Added Devise::Test::IntegrationHelpers to bypass the sign in process using Warden test API (by @lucasmazza).
  • Define inspect in Devise::Models::Authenticatable to help ensure password hashes aren't included in exceptions or otherwise accidentally serialized (by @tkrajcar).

• deprecations
  • Devise::TestHelpers is deprecated in favor of Devise::Test::ControllerHelpers (by @lucasmazza).

  • The option bypass of Devise::Controllers::SignInOut#sign_in method is deprecated in favor of Devise::Controllers::SignInOut#bypass_sign_in method (by @ulissesalmeida).

4.1.1 - 2016-05-15

• bug fixes
  • Fix overwriting the remember_token when a valid one already exists (by @ralinchimev).

4.1.0

• bug fixes

  • Fix race condition of sending the confirmation instructions e-mail using background jobs. Using the previous after_create callback, the e-mail can be sent before the record be committed on database, generating a ActiveRecord::NotFound error. Now the confirmation e-mail will be only sent after the database commit, using the after_commit callback. It may break your test suite on Rails 4 if you are testing the sent e-mails or enqueued jobs using transactional fixtures enabled or DatabaseCleaner with transaction strategy. You can easily fix your test suite using the gem test_after_commit. For example, put in your Gemfile:

      gem 'test_after_commit', :group => :test

    On Rails 5 after_commit callbacks are triggered even using transactional fixtures, then this fix will not break your test suite. If you are using DatabaseCleaner with the deletion or truncation strategies it may not break your tests. (by @allenwq)

  • Fix strategy checking in Lockable#unlock_strategy_enabled? for :none and :undefined strategies. (by @f3ndot)

• features
  • Humanize authentication keys in failure flash message (by @byzg) When you are configuring the translations of devise.failure.invalid, the authentication_keys is translated now.
• deprecations
  • Remove code supporting old session serialization format (by @fphilipe).
  • Now the email_regexp default uses a more permissive regex: /\A[^@\s]+@[^@\s]+\z/ (by @kimgb)
  • Now the strip_whitespace_keys default is [:email] (by @ulissesalmeida)
  • Now the reconfirmable default is true (by @ulissesalmeida)
  • Now the skip_session_storage default is [:http_auth] (by @ulissesalmeida)
  • Now the sign_out_via default is :delete (by @ulissesalmeida)
• improvements
  • Avoids extra computation of friendly token for confirmation token (by @sbc100)

4.0.3 - 2016-05-15

• bug fixes
  • Fix overwriting the remember_token when a valid one already exists (by @ralinchimev).

4.0.2 - 2016-05-02

• bug fixes
  • Fix strategy checking in Lockable#unlock_strategy_enabled? for :none and :undefined strategies. (by @f3ndot)

4.0.1 - 2016-04-25

• bug fixes
  • Fix the e-mail confirmation instructions send when a user updates the email address from nil. (by @lmduc)
  • Remove unnecessary attribute_will_change! call. (by @cadejscroggins)
  • Consistent permit! check. (by @ulissesalmeida)

4.0.0 - 2016-04-18

• bug fixes

  • Fix the extend_remember_period configuration. When set to false it does not update the cookie expiration anymore.(by @ulissesalmeida)

• deprecations

  • Added a warning of default value change in Devise 4.1 for users that uses the the default configuration of the following configurations: (by @ulissesalmeida)
    • strip_whitespace_keys - The default will be [:email].
    • skip_session_storage - The default will be [:http_auth].
    • sign_out_via - The default will be :delete.
    • reconfirmable - The default will be true.
    • email_regexp - The default will be /\A[^@\s]+@[^@\s]+\z/.
  • Removed deprecated argument of Devise::Models::Rememberable#remember_me! (by @ulissesalmeida)
  • Removed deprecated private method Devise::Controllers::Helpers#expire_session_data_after_sign_in! (by @bogdanvlviv)

4.0.0.rc2 - 2016-03-09

• enhancements

  • Introduced DeviseController#set_flash_message! for conditional flash messages setting to reduce complexity.
  • rails g devise:install will fail if the app does not have a ORM configured (by @arjunsharma)
  • Support to Rails 5 versioned migrations added.

• deprecations

  • omniauth routes are no longer defined with a wildcard :provider parameter, and provider specific routes are defined instead, so route helpers like user_omniauth_authorize_path(:github) are deprecated in favor of user_github_omniauth_authorize_path. You can still use omniauth_authorize_path(:user, :github) if you need to call the helpers dynamically.

4.0.0.rc1 - 2016-02-01

• Support added to Rails 5 (by @twalpole).

• Devise no longer supports Rails 3.2 and 4.0.

• Devise no longer supports Ruby 1.9 and 2.0.

• deprecations

  • The devise_parameter_sanitize API has changed: The for method was deprecated in favor of permit:

    def configure_permitted_parameters
      devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :subscribe_newsletter
      # Should become the following.
      devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:subscribe_newsletter])
    end

    The customization through instance methods on the sanitizer implementation should be done through it's initialize method:

    class User::ParameterSanitizer < Devise::ParameterSanitizer
      def sign_up
        default_params.permit(:username, :email)
      end
    end
    
    # The `sign_up` method can be a `permit` call on the sanitizer `initialize`.
    
    class User::ParameterSanitizer < Devise::ParameterSanitizer
      def initialize(*)
        super
        permit(:sign_up, keys: [:username, :email])
      end
    end

    You can check more examples and explanations on the README section and on the ParameterSanitizer docs.

Please check 3-stable for previous changes.
