instead. The following examples show how to
|
|
migrate:
|
|
|
|
# Before
|
|
md = Digest::MD5.new("string")
|
|
# After (works with any version)
|
|
md = Digest::MD5.new.update("string")
|
|
|
|
# Before
|
|
hd = Digest::MD5.new("string").hexdigest
|
|
# After (works with any version)
|
|
hd = Digest::MD5.hexdigest("string")
|
