May 2025: The 'Shiny and New!' release

Headline news is of course the last step (for now!) in the recent series of sequential Rails upgrades - we're now on the latest current release, Rails 8.0, having started at 6.1 in January this year and worked our way through 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2 in the last few months.

Also featured this month:

• Upgraded pagy to current (9.x) series (in #1957)
• Added and expanded Rack::Attack filtering to save error logs filling up with botspam from hacked WordPress sites (in #1960,
  #1961, #1963, and #1964)
• Plus various gem updates, whenever dependabot offered them

Full Changelog: v25.04...v25.05
