Sequel 5.61.0 Released

[jeremyevans]

Sequel 5.61.0 has been released!

Improvements

• When typecasting strings to other types, Sequel::Database will now
  by default not typecast strings that are much longer than expected
  for the underlying type. Depending on the underlying type, there
  is a limit of either 100 or 1000 bytes on the input string. This
  avoids potential performance issues when trying to convert
  arbitrary sized user input to specific types.

• The respond_to? to defined? change made in 5.60.0 was reverted in
  5.60.1 as it broke cases on Ruby < 3 where the object had an unused
  refinement that added the method.

• When typecasting strings to integer, strings such as -0xa are now
  treated as negative hexidecimal strings, similar to how 0xa is
  treated as a positive hexidecimal string.

• Database#foreign_key_list now returns results for partitioned
  tables on PostgreSQL 11+.

• Timestamps before the date of calendar reform are now handled
  correctly by the pg_extended_date_support extension when using
  Ruby 3.2 preview 2+.

Backwards Compatibility

• The change to not typecast strings that are too long can break
  backwards compatibility for applications that expect typecasting
  for input beyond Sequel's limits. You can disable the string
  bytesize checking by setting:

    DB.check_string_typecast_bytesize = false

  or by passing the check_string_typecast_bytesize: false option when
  creating the Database instance.

• Code to workaround a bug in JRuby 9.2.0.0 has been removed from the
  pg_extended_date_support extension. Users of the extension should
  upgrade to a newer JRuby version.

• The is_json and is_not_json methods have been removed from the
  pg_json_ops extension, as the underlying support was removed in
  PostgreSQL 15 beta 4.
