+Hi, [Wojtek](https://x.com/morgoth85) here. Let’s explore the first changes of the new year in the Rails codebase.
+
+[Introduce versions formatter for the schema dumper](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/53797)  
+It is now possible to override how schema dumper formats versions information inside the *structure.sql* file. Currently, the versions are simply sorted in the decreasing order. Within large teams, this can potentially cause many merge conflicts near the top of the list.
+
+Now, the custom formatter can be provided with a custom sorting logic (e.g. by hash values of the versions), which can greatly reduce the number of conflicts.
+
+[Replace SyntaxTree with Prism in rail_inspector](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/54050)  
+Now that *Prism* has been stable for a while and is the default parser in Ruby 3.4, use it in the *rail_inspector*.
+
+[Handle path_params gracefully when a user sends a string](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/51496)  
+When url contains the query part *?path_params=string* it is now ignored and does not error.
+
+[Fix setting to_time_preserves_timezone from "new framework defaults"](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/54017)  
+Previously setting `Rails.application.config.active_support.to_time_preserves_timezone = :zone` in the initializer did not have effect.
