Solid Cable ships v4.0.1 to fix ActionCable adapterization in Rails 8.2, while Rails core hardens schema migration parsing against real-world file edge cases.

In brief

solid_cable v4.0.1 ships with ActionCable 8.2 compatibility. if you're running the latest Rails with Solid's cable backend, this one's required.
Rails hardens schema migration loading. duplicate versions in db/schema.rb now raise instead of silently failing. caught a bunch of "wait, why isn't this migrating?" bugs before they shipped.
solid_queue now warns instead of raising when your connection pool's smaller than your thread pool. less catastrophic at startup, same signal to fix your config.
Rails v8 will raise on duplicate versions listed after __END__ in db/schema.rb. if you've got junk migrations hiding in comments, schema sanity check catches it now.

Solid Cable v4.0.1 lands compatibility fixes for Rails 8.2's ActionCable changes and resets reconnect attempts after successful database access [1]. Over in Rails core, a series of pull requests harden the new load_schema_migrations method against CRLF line endings and duplicate version entries that break fresh database loads [2][3]. The core team also refactored the test suite for load_schema_migrations to eliminate noise and add coverage for edge cases [9]. Meanwhile, Solid Queue downgraded its database connection pool validation from a hard error to a warning, unblocking I/O-bound queue configurations that deliberately run many threads against a small pool [4][5]. A documentation fix in Solid Queue clarified argument handling in limits_concurrency to prevent copy-paste timebombs in production [6]. Rails also fixed a flaky Sprockets precompile test where file rewrites in the same second caused digest caching issues [7][8].
