* A new module (ActiveSupport::Autoload) is provide that extends
autoloading with new behavior.
* All autoloads in modules that have extended ActiveSupport::Autoload
will be eagerly required in threadsafe environments
* Autoloads can optionally leave off the path if the path is the same
as full_constant_name.underscore
* It is possible to specify that a group of autoloads live under an
additional path. For instance, all of ActionDispatch's middlewares
are ActionDispatch::MiddlewareName, but they live under
"action_dispatch/middlewares/middleware_name"
* It is possible to specify that a group of autoloads are all found
at the same path. For instance, a number of exceptions might all
be declared there.
* One consequence of this is that testing-related constants are not
autoloaded. To get the testing helpers for a given component,
require "component_name/test_case". For instance, "action_controller/test_case".
* test_help.rb, which is automatically required by a Rails application's
test helper, requires the test_case.rb for all active components, so
this change will not be disruptive in existing or new applications.

= Active Support -- Utility classes and standard library extensions from Rails Active Support is a collection of various utility classes and standard library extensions that were found useful for Rails. All these additions have hence been collected in this bundle as way to gather all that sugar that makes Ruby sweeter. == Download The latest version of Active Support can be found at * http://rubyforge.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=182 Documentation can be found at * http://as.rubyonrails.com == Installation The preferred method of installing Active Support is through its GEM file. You'll need to have RubyGems[http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl] installed for that, though. If you have it, then use: % [sudo] gem install activesupport-1.0.0.gem == License Active Support is released under the MIT license. == Support The Active Support homepage is http://www.rubyonrails.com. You can find the Active Support RubyForge page at http://rubyforge.org/projects/activesupport. And as Jim from Rake says: Feel free to submit commits or feature requests. If you send a patch, remember to update the corresponding unit tests. If fact, I prefer new feature to be submitted in the form of new unit tests. For other information, feel free to ask on the ruby-talk mailing list (which is mirrored to comp.lang.ruby) or contact mailto:david@loudthinking.com.
