Onwards to Rails 5: Additions, Changes, and Deprecations

Rails 5, a new major release of the popular web framework, is coming soon and, of course, we are looking forward to it. Refer to this article if you want to read on overview of some new features that will be introduced.

The source code for this app is available at GitHub.
