Solid Cable 4.1, Rails' database-backed Action Cable adapter, adds encrypted messages and batched writes. It is used as a database-backed alternative to Redis for Action Cable pub/sub in Rails applications. _Rails engineers choosing an Action Cable backend can keep up with updates like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Short Ruby Newsletter - edition 160](https://daily.dev/posts/short-ruby-newsletter---edition-160-qik9o6jox) · RUBYLAND · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Ruby Weekly Issue 789: February 26, 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/ruby-weekly-issue-789-february-26-2026-j8ucgdohh) · Ruby Weekly · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Ruby Weekly Issue 801: May 21, 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/ruby-weekly-issue-801-may-21-2026-m5kuyvv42) · Ruby Weekly · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Ruby Weekly Issue 779: December 11, 2025](https://daily.dev/posts/ruby-weekly-issue-779-december-11-2025-epempsdkp) · Ruby Weekly · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ruby](https://daily.dev/tags/ruby), [#rails](https://daily.dev/tags/rails) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/issue-819-rails-next-rich-text-editor-hits-1-0-ruby-weekly-q4zcouspf) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Issue #819: Rails' next rich text editor hits 1.0 — Ruby Weekly","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/issue-819-rails-next-rich-text-editor-hits-1-0-ruby-weekly-q4zcouspf","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/issue-819-rails-next-rich-text-editor-hits-1-0-ruby-weekly-q4zcouspf"},"datePublished":"2026-10-01T13:20:44.427Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T13:21:28.654Z","description":"This Ruby Weekly digest covers Lexxy, Rails' next rich text editor, reaching 1.0 with a sandbox demo to try it.
