NEWS for Ruby 2.8.0 (tentative; to be 3.0.0)

This document is a list of user visible feature changes since the 2.7.0 release, except for bug fixes.

Note that each entry is kept so brief that no reason behind or reference information is supplied with. For a full list of changes with all sufficient information, see the ChangeLog file or Redmine (e.g. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/$FEATURE_OR_BUG_NUMBER).

Language changes

Keyword arguments are now separated from positional arguments. Code that resulted in deprecation warnings in Ruby 2.7 will now result in ArgumentError or different behavior. [Feature #14183]

Procs accepting a single rest argument and keywords are no longer subject to autosplatting. This now matches the behavior of Procs accepting a single rest argument and no keywords. [Feature #16166]

pr = proc{|*a, **kw| [a, kw]}

pr.call([1])
# 2.7 => [[1], {}]
# 3.0 => [[[1]], {}]

pr.call([1, {a: 1}])
# 2.7 => [[1], {:a=>1}] # and deprecation warning
# 3.0 => [[[1, {:a=>1}]], {}]

$SAFE is now a normal global variable with no special behavior. [Feature #16131]
yield in singleton class definitions in methods is now a SyntaxError instead of a warning. yield in a class definition outside of a method is now a SyntaxError instead of a LocalJumpError. [Feature #15575]
Rightward assignment statement is added. [Feature #15921]
```
fib(10) => x
```

Command line options

Core classes updates

Outstanding ones only.

Dir
- Modified method
  - Dir.glob and Dir.[] now sort the results by default, and accept sort: keyword option. [Feature #8709]
Hash
- Modified method
  - Hash#transform_keys now accepts a hash that maps keys to new keys. [Feature #16274]
Kernel
- Modified method
  - Kernel#clone when called with freeze: false keyword will call #initialize_clone with the freeze: false keyword. [Bug #14266]
  - Kernel#eval when called with two arguments will use "(eval)" for __FILE__ and 1 for __LINE__ in the evaluated code. [Bug #4352]
Module
- Modified method
  - Module#include now includes the arguments in modules and classes that have already included or prepended the receiver, mirroring the behavior if the arguments were included in the receiver before the other modules and classes included or prepended the receiver. [Feature #9573]
Symbol
- Modified method
  - Symbol#to_proc now returns a lambda Proc. [Feature #16260]

Stdlib updates

Outstanding ones only.

Net::HTTP
- New method
  - Add Net::HTTP#verify_hostname= and Net::HTTP#verify_hostname to skip hostname verification. [Feature #16555]
- Modified method
  - Net::HTTP.get, Net::HTTP.get_response, and Net::HTTP.get_print can take request headers as a Hash in the second argument when the first argument is a URI.

Compatibility issues

Excluding feature bug fixes.

Regexp literals are frozen [Feature #8948] [Feature #16377]
```
/foo/.frozen? #=> true
```
Bundled gems
- net-telnet and xmlrpc have been removed from the bundled gems. If you are interested in maintaining them, please comment on your plan to https://github.com/ruby/xmlrpc or https://github.com/ruby/net-telnet.
EXPERIMENTAL: Hash#each consistently yields a 2-element array [Bug #12706]
- Now { a: 1 }.each(&->(k, v) { }) raises an ArgumentError due to lambda's arity check.
- This is experimental; if it brings a big incompatibility issue, it may be reverted until 2.8/3.0 release.
