Key changes include: Active Record's `validates` now combines top-level and per-validator `:if`/`:unless`/`:on` options instead of letting inner options silently override outer ones; `titleize` now correctly capitalizes Unicode lowercase letters (e.g., über → Über); and MySQL error 1046 (ER_NO_DB_ERROR) is now classified as `ActiveRecord::ConnectionFailed` to enable automatic retries. 18 contributors participated this week. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
