|
2011-05-31 23:37:02 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* bigdecimal
|
|
|
|
* Kernel.BigDecimal and BigDecimal.new now accept instances of Integer,
|
|
|
|
Rational, and Float. If you pass a Rational or a Float to them, you must
|
|
|
|
specify the precision to produce the digits of a BigDecimal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The behavior of BigDecimal#coerce with a Rational is changed. It uses
|
|
|
|
the precision of the receiver BigDecimal to produce the digits of a
|
|
|
|
BigDecimal from the given Rational.
|
|
|
|
|
2011-06-04 17:25:11 -04:00
|
|
|
* date
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Accepts flonum explicitly with limitations.
|
|
|
|
* If the given offset is flonum, DateTime assumes its precision is
|
|
|
|
at most second.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DateTime.new(2001,2,3,0,0,0,3.0/24) ==
|
|
|
|
DateTime.new(2001,2,3,0,0,0,'+03:00')
|
|
|
|
#=> true
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If the given operand for -/+ is flonum, DateTime assumes its
|
|
|
|
precision is at most nanosecond.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DateTime.new(2001,2,3) + 0.5 == DateTime.new(2001,2,3,12)
|
|
|
|
#=> true
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Precision of offset is always at most second.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rational('0.5') == Rational('0.500001') #=> false
|
|
|
|
DateTime.new(2001,2,3,0,0,0,Rational('0.5')) ==
|
|
|
|
DateTime.new(2001,2,3,0,0,0,Rational('0.500001'))
|
|
|
|
#=> true
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Ignores long offset and far reform day (with warning).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Now accepts only:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-1<=offset<=1 (-24:00..+24:00)
|
|
|
|
2298874<=start<=2426355 or -/+oo
|
|
|
|
(proleptic Gregorian/Julian mean -/+oo)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A method strftime cannot produce huge output (same as Time's one).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Even though Date/DateTime can handle far dates, the following gives
|
|
|
|
an empty string:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DateTime.new(1<<10000).strftime('%Y') #=> ""
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Changed the format of inspect.
|
|
|
|
* Changed the format of marshal (but, can load old dumps).

|
* net/http
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
* lib/net/http.rb, lib/net/protocol.rb: Allow to configure to wait
server returning '100 continue' response befor sending HTTP request
body. See NEWS for more detail. See #3622.
Original patch is made by Eric Hodel <drbrain@segment7.net>.

2011-05-31 04:10:42 -04:00
|
|
|
* Allow to configure to wait server returning '100 continue' response
|
|
|
|
before sending HTTP request body. Set Net::HTTP#continue_timeout AND pass
|
|
|
|
'expect' => '100-continue' to a extra HTTP header.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the following code sends HTTP header and waits for getting
|
|
|
|
'100 continue' response before sending HTTP request body. When 0.5 [sec]
|
|
|
|
timeout occurs or the server send '100 continue', the client sends HTTP
|
|
|
|
request body.
|
|
|
|
http.continue_timeout = 0.5
|
|
|
|
http.request_post('/continue', 'body=BODY', 'expect' => '100-continue')
|
|
|
|
|
2011-06-26 11:55:29 -04:00
|
|
|
* new method:
|
|
|
|
* Net::HTTPRequest#set_form): Added to support

|
both application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data.
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-13 15:25:18 -04:00
|
|
|
* openssl
|
|
|
|
* PKey::RSA and PKey::DSA now use the generic X.509 encoding scheme
|
|
|
|
(e.g. used in a X.509 certificate's Subject Public Key Info) when
|
|
|
|
exporting public keys to DER or PEM. Backward compatibility is
|
|
|
|
ensured by (already existing) fallbacks during creation.
|
2011-05-22 18:22:16 -04:00
|
|
|
* OpenSSL::ASN1::Constructive#new and OpenSSL::ASN1::Primitive#new
|
|
|
|
(and the constructors of their sub-classes) will no longer force
|
|
|
|
tagging to be set to :EXPLICIT when tag and/or tag_class are passed
|
|
|
|
as parameters. tagging must be set explicitly.
|
|
|
|
* Support for infinite length encodings via infinite_length attribute.
|
2011-06-12 16:52:25 -04:00
|
|
|
* OpenSSL::PKey.read( file | string [, pwd] ) allows to read arbitrary
|
|
|
|
public/private keys in DER-/PEM-encoded form with an optional password
|
|
|
|
for encrypted PEM encodings.
|
2011-06-23 09:51:55 -04:00
|
|
|
* Add new method OpenSSL::X509::Name#hash_old as a wrapper of
|
|
|
|
X509_NAME_hash_old() defined from OpenSSL 1.0.0. It returns OpenSSL 0.9.8
|
|
|
|
compatible hash value.
