+Hi, [Wojtek](https://twitter.com/morgoth85) from this side. Let's explore this week's few changes in the Rails codebase.
+
+[Expose a generic "fixture" method in tests](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/51213)  
+To avoid conflicting methods, in example with Minitest, it is possible now to load fixtures like this:
+
+```ruby
+assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", web_sites(:rubyonrails).name
+assert_equal "Ruby on Rails", fixture(:web_sites, :rubyonrails).name
+```
+
+[Introduce assert_initializer](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/51176)  
+Compliments the existing *initializer* generator action.
+
+[Set default_url_options values in development/test environments](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/51191)  
+ Prior to this commit, new Rails applications would raise *ActionView::Template::Error* if a mailer included a url built with a *\*_path* helper.
+
+[Fix error message for not derived foreign key in Active Record](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/51165)  
+Using *query_constraints* method with a single non-primary-key column used to raise as expected, but with an incorrect error message. This has been fixed to raise with a more appropriate error message.
