This document is a list of user visible feature changes made between
releases except for bug fixes.

== Changes since the 2.5.0 release
`$SAFE` as a process global state. [Feature #14250] * vm_core.h (rb_vm_t): move `rb_execution_context_t::safe_level` to `rb_vm_t::safe_level_` because `$SAFE` is a process (VM) global state. * vm_core.h (rb_proc_t): remove `rb_proc_t::safe_level` because `Proc` objects don't need to keep `$SAFE` at the creation. Also make `is_from_method` and `is_lambda` as 1 bit fields. * cont.c (cont_restore_thread): no need to keep `$SAFE` for Continuation. * eval.c (ruby_cleanup): use `rb_set_safe_level_force()` instead of access `vm->safe_level_` directly. * eval_jump.c: End procs `END{}` doesn't keep `$SAFE`. * proc.c (proc_dup): removed and introduce `rb_proc_dup` in vm.c. * safe.c (rb_set_safe_level): don't check `$SAFE` 1 -> 0 changes. * safe.c (safe_setter): use `rb_set_safe_level()`. * thread.c (rb_thread_safe_level): `Thread#safe_level` returns `$SAFE`. It should be obsolete. * transcode.c (load_transcoder_entry): `rb_safe_level()` only returns 0 or 1 so that this check is not needed. * vm.c (vm_proc_create_from_captured): don't need to keep `$SAFE` for Proc. * vm.c (rb_proc_create): renamed to `proc_create`. * vm.c (rb_proc_dup): moved from proc.c. * vm.c (vm_invoke_proc): do not need to set and restore `$SAFE` for `Proc#call`. * vm_eval.c (rb_eval_cmd): rename a local variable to represent clearer meaning. * lib/drb/drb.rb: restore `$SAFE`. * lib/erb.rb: restore `$SAFE`, too. * test/lib/leakchecker.rb: check `$SAFE == 0` at the end of tests. * test/rubygems/test_gem.rb: do not set `$SAFE = 1`. * bootstraptest/test_proc.rb: catch up this change. * spec/ruby/optional/capi/string_spec.rb: ditto. * test/bigdecimal/test_bigdecimal.rb: ditto. * test/fiddle/test_func.rb: ditto. * test/fiddle/test_handle.rb: ditto. * test/net/imap/test_imap_response_parser.rb: ditto. * test/pathname/test_pathname.rb: ditto. * test/readline/test_readline.rb: ditto. * test/ruby/test_file.rb: ditto. * test/ruby/test_optimization.rb: ditto. * test/ruby/test_proc.rb: ditto. * test/ruby/test_require.rb: ditto. * test/ruby/test_thread.rb: ditto. * test/rubygems/test_gem_specification.rb: ditto. * test/test_tempfile.rb: ditto. * test/test_tmpdir.rb: ditto. * test/win32ole/test_win32ole.rb: ditto. * test/win32ole/test_win32ole_event.rb: ditto. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://ci.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk@61510 b2dd03c8-39d4-4d8f-98ff-823fe69b080e

=== Core classes updates (outstanding ones only)
* Array
* Aliased methods:
* Array#filter is a new alias for Array#select [Feature #13784]
* Array#filter! is a new alias for Array#select! [Feature #13784]
* Binding
* New methods:
* added Binding#source_location. [Feature #14230]
This method returns the source location of binding, a 2-element
array of `__FILE__` and `__LINE__`. Traditionally, the same
information could be retrieved by `eval("[__FILE__, __LINE__]",
binding)`, but we are planning to change this behavior so that
`Kernel#eval` ignores binding's source location [Bug #4352].
So, users should use this newly-introduced method instead of
`Kernel#eval`.
* Dir
* New methods:
* added Dir#each_child and Dir#children instance methods. [Feature #13969]

* Aliased methods:

=== Compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
=== Stdlib compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
=== C API updates
=== Supported platform changes
=== Implementation improvements
* Speedup `Proc#call` because we don't need to care about `$SAFE` any more. [Feature #14318]
With `lc_fizzbuzz` benchmark which uses so many `Proc#call` we can measure
x1.4 improvements [Bug #10212].
* Speedup `block.call` where `block` is passed block parameter. [Feature #14330]
Ruby 2.5 improves block passing performance. [Feature #14045]
Additionally, Ruby 2.6 improves the performance of passed block calling.
* Introduce an initial implementation of JIT (Just-in-time) compiler. [Feature #14235] [experimental]
* `--jit` option is added to enable JIT. `--jit-verbose=1` is good for inspection. See `ruby --help` for others.
* This JIT relies on C compiler used to build Ruby, on runtime. Only gcc and clang are supported for the JIT
for now, and MinGW support has some issues.
* As of 2.6.0-preview1, we're just preparing infrastructure for JIT and very few optimizations are implemented.
So it's not ready for benchmarking Ruby's JIT performance yet. It's known that current JIT enablement makes
Rails application slower for now.
* VM generator script renewal; makes the generated VM more optimized. [GH-1779]
`$SAFE` as a process global state. [Feature #14250] * vm_core.h (rb_vm_t): move `rb_execution_context_t::safe_level` to `rb_vm_t::safe_level_` because `$SAFE` is a process (VM) global state. * vm_core.h (rb_proc_t): remove `rb_proc_t::safe_level` because `Proc` objects don't need to keep `$SAFE` at the creation. Also make `is_from_method` and `is_lambda` as 1 bit fields. * cont.c (cont_restore_thread): no need to keep `$SAFE` for Continuation. * eval.c (ruby_cleanup): use `rb_set_safe_level_force()` instead of access `vm->safe_level_` directly. * eval_jump.c: End procs `END{}` doesn't keep `$SAFE`. * proc.c (proc_dup): removed and introduce `rb_proc_dup` in vm.c. * safe.c (rb_set_safe_level): don't check `$SAFE` 1 -> 0 changes. * safe.c (safe_setter): use `rb_set_safe_level()`. * thread.c (rb_thread_safe_level): `Thread#safe_level` returns `$SAFE`. It should be obsolete. * transcode.c (load_transcoder_entry): `rb_safe_level()` only returns 0 or 1 so that this check is not needed. * vm.c (vm_proc_create_from_captured): don't need to keep `$SAFE` for Proc. * vm.c (rb_proc_create): renamed to `proc_create`. * vm.c (rb_proc_dup): moved from proc.c. * vm.c (vm_invoke_proc): do not need to set and restore `$SAFE` for `Proc#call`. * vm_eval.c (rb_eval_cmd): rename a local variable to represent clearer meaning. * lib/drb/drb.rb: restore `$SAFE`. * lib/erb.rb: restore `$SAFE`, too. * test/lib/leakchecker.rb: check `$SAFE == 0` at the end of tests. * test/rubygems/test_gem.rb: do not set `$SAFE = 1`. * bootstraptest/test_proc.rb: catch up this change. * spec/ruby/optional/capi/string_spec.rb: ditto. * test/bigdecimal/test_bigdecimal.rb: ditto. * test/fiddle/test_func.rb: ditto. * test/fiddle/test_handle.rb: ditto. * test/net/imap/test_imap_response_parser.rb: ditto. * test/pathname/test_pathname.rb: ditto. * test/readline/test_readline.rb: ditto. * test/ruby/test_file.rb: ditto. * test/ruby/test_optimization.rb: ditto. * test/ruby/test_proc.rb: ditto. * test/ruby/test_require.rb: ditto. * test/ruby/test_thread.rb: ditto. * test/rubygems/test_gem_specification.rb: ditto. * test/test_tempfile.rb: ditto. * test/test_tmpdir.rb: ditto. * test/win32ole/test_win32ole.rb: ditto. * test/win32ole/test_win32ole_event.rb: ditto. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://ci.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk@61510 b2dd03c8-39d4-4d8f-98ff-823fe69b080e
