Rails 6.0.0 beta1: Action Mailbox, Action Text, Multiple DBs, Parallel Testing, Webpacker by default | Riding Rails

The first beta release of Rails 6 is here! It’s absolutely packed with amazing new stuff that we’re so excited to share. There are two major new frameworks – Action Mailbox and Action Text – and two important scalable-by-default upgrades in great multiple database support and parallel testing.Action Mailbox routes incoming emails to controller-like mailboxes for processing in Rails. It ships with ingresses for Amazon SES, Mailgun, Mandrill, Postmark, and SendGrid. You can also handle inbound mails directly via the built-in Exim, Postfix, and Qmail ingresses. The foundational work on Action Mailbox was done by George Claghorn and yours truly.
