This is a monkey patch to change Rails 4's default session/signed cookie serializer from Marshal to JSON for security and compatibility reasons. Note that this is a hack, a pretty terrible one and you should only use it if you know what you're doing. Also, I only wrote this patch for my own personal use, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work …
# Hack to change the Rails cookie serializer from Marshal to JSON and therefore allow the session
# to be shared between different languages but also avoid that someone knowing the
# cookie secret key could execute arbitrary code on the server by unmarshalling
# modified Ruby code added to the session/permanent cookie.
#
# Note that all users will beed to login again since both the remember me cookie and the session cookies
# won't be valid. Note also that the remember me cookie is tested multiple times per request even when it fails.
# for performance reasons you might want to delete it if these extra cycles are too costly for you.
#
# Rails 4 (not tested on Rails 3).

Sandi Metz' four rules from Ruby Rogues episode 87. Listen or read the transcript: http://rubyrogues.com/087-rr-book-clubpractical-object-oriented-design-in-ruby-with-sandi-metz/
  1. Your class can be no longer than 100 lines of code.
  2. Your methods can be no longer than five lines of code.
  3. You can pass no more than four parameters and you can’t just make it one big hash.
  4. When a call comes into your Rails controller, you can only instantiate one object to do whatever it is that needs to be done. And your view can only know about one instance variable.

You can break these rules if you can talk your pair into agreeing with you.

Performace patch for ruby-1.9.3-p327

Changes:

  • this version includes backport of Greg Price's patch for speedup startup http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7158 .

    ruby-core prefers his way to do thing, so that I abandon cached-lp and sorted-lf patches of mine.

  • this version integrates 'array as queue' patch, which improves performance when push/shift pattern is heavily used on Array.

    This patch is accepted into trunk for Ruby 2.0 and last possible bug is found by Yui Naruse. It is used in production* for a couple of months without issues even with this bug.

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.
