<a href="https://rubyonrails.org/2024/3/20/rails-guides-get-a-facelift">Rails guides gets a facelift</a> 
Rails guides has a received a big design update! 
Check out the <a href="https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/">Edge Guides</a> to see these changes.
If you find a bug or wish to submit a suggestion, you can open a discussion on <a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/discussions">GitHub</a>.

<a href="https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1770590629149786189">Two new official gems</a> 
<a href="https://github.com/rails/solid_queue">Solid Queue</a>, a DB-based queuing backend for Active Job, has graduated to an official <a href="https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1770590629149786189">Rails gem</a>.

<a href="https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1770590866492809229">Same</a> for <a href="https://github.com/rails/mission_control-jobs">Mission Control — Jobs</a>, 
which provides a Rails-based frontend to Active Job adapters. 
It currently supports Resque and Solid Queue.

<a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/51351">Don’t enqueue jobs to process a preview image if no variant requires it</a> 
This PR fixes the issue where previewable attachments that don’t specify any variants, or no variants that require pre-processing, 
were still attempting to queue a job to process the preview image anyways.

<a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/51353">Eliminate remaining uses of lease_connection inside Active Record</a> 
As part of moving towards adding a <a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/51349">new <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config.active_record.permanent_connection_checkout</code> setting</a>, 
this change eliminates the remaining uses of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">lease_connection</code> inside Active Record API.

<a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/51308">Do not build View Watcher until the first updated? check</a> 
Currently initialization of every <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Rails::Engine</code> leads to the creation of a new View watcher when the engine prepends its paths.
This contributes to the time it takes to perform the first cold request on a lazy loaded application.
This change delays the initialization of the View watcher until its first usage to only have one initialization of the watcher.

<a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/51345">Allow primary_key: association option to be composite </a> 
Association’s <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">primary_key</code> can be composite when derived from associated class’s <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">primary_key</code> or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">query_constraints</code>. 
Rails dint allow setting this explicitly even though it was already capable of supporting it.

This commit allows <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">primary_key</code> association option to be an array to support this behavior.

You can view the whole list of changes <a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/compare/@%7B2024-03-16%7D...main@%7B2024-03-22%7D">here</a>. 
We had <a href="https://contributors.rubyonrails.org/contributors/in-time-window/20240316-20240322">14 contributors</a> to the Rails codebase this past week!

Until next time!
