IPAddr.new('224.0.1.1').link_local_multicast? returned false while ::ffff:224.0.1.1 returned true — the same address, answered differently depending on the form it arrived in. The IPv4 branch masked the documented /24, the IPv4-mapped branch a /16, and a dual-stack AF_INET6 socket hands out the mapped form. Every other predicate in the family already used the same mask on both branches.

The docs promised a 0 return value in both the call-seq and the prose, but the method has returned self since mkpath and rmtree were made chainable — and test_rmtree asserts exactly that. The call-seq also dropped the keyword arguments, which are now documented alongside a pointer to FileUtils.rm_rf, where they are forwarded.

assert_routing with method: :all claims to check every verb but only iterated over GET, POST, PUT and DELETE, so a route that rejects PATCH or QUERY still passed. The list predated PATCH becoming the default verb for updates in Rails 4. Both verbs are now checked, and the option finally has documentation.

With encrypt_fixtures enabled, a fixture for an encrypts attribute on a json or jsonb column raised a decryption error on read: the payload was serialized twice, so the database stored "{\"p\":...}" instead of the JSON object. Fixtures now hand the payload back in the column's cast form, so it is written exactly once. Fixes a bug open since 2023.
