• Add missing preview event to ActiveStorage::LogSubscriber

  A preview event is being instrumented in ActiveStorage::Previewer. However it was not added inside ActiveStorage's LogSubscriber class.

  This will allow to have logs for when a preview happens in the same fashion as all other ActiveStorage events such as upload and download inside Rails.logger.

• Fix retrieving rotation value from FFmpeg on version 5.0+.

  In FFmpeg version 5.0+ the rotation value has been removed from tags. Instead the value can be found in side_data_list. Along with this update it's possible to have values of -90, -270 to denote the video has been rotated.

• Touch all corresponding model records after ActiveStorage::Blob is analyzed

  This fixes a race condition where a record can be requested and have a cache entry built, before the initial analyze_later completes, which will not be invalidated until something else updates the record. This also invalidates cache entries when a blob is re-analyzed, which is helpful if a bug is fixed in an analyzer or a new analyzer is added.

• Add ability to use pre-defined variants when calling preview or representation on an attachment.

  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_one_attached :file do |attachable|
      attachable.variant :thumb, resize_to_limit: [100, 100]
    end
  end
  
  <%= image_tag user.file.representation(:thumb) %>

• Method attach always returns the attachments except when the record is persisted, unchanged, and saving it fails, in which case it returns nil.

• Fixes multiple attach calls within transaction not uploading files correctly.

  In the following example, the code failed to upload all but the last file to the configured service.

    ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
      user.attachments.attach({
        content_type: "text/plain",
        filename: "dummy.txt",
        io: ::StringIO.new("dummy"),
      })
      user.attachments.attach({
        content_type: "text/plain",
        filename: "dummy2.txt",
        io: ::StringIO.new("dummy2"),
      })
    end
  
    assert_equal 2, user.attachments.count
    assert user.attachments.first.service.exist?(user.attachments.first.key)  # Fails
  

  This was addressed by keeping track of the subchanges pending upload, and uploading them once the transaction is committed.

  Fixes #41661

• Raise an exception if config.active_storage.service is not set.

  If Active Storage is configured and config.active_storage.service is not set in the respective environment's configuration file, then an exception is raised with a meaningful message when attempting to use Active Storage.

• Fixes proxy downloads of files over 5mb

  Previously, trying to view and/or download files larger than 5mb stored in services like S3 via proxy mode could return corrupted files at around 5.2mb or cause random halts in the download. Now, ActiveStorage::Blobs::ProxyController correctly handles streaming these larger files from the service to the client without any issues.

  Fixes #44679

• Saving attachment(s) to a record returns the blob/blobs object

  Previously, saving attachments did not return the blob/blobs that were attached. Now, saving attachments to a record with #attach method returns the blob or array of blobs that were attached to the record. If it fails to save the attachment(s), then it returns false.

  Ghouse Mohamed

• Don't stream responses in redirect mode

  Previously, both redirect mode and proxy mode streamed their responses which caused a new thread to be created, and could end up leaking connections in the connection pool. But since redirect mode doesn't actually send any data, it doesn't need to be streamed.
