= NEWS for Ruby 2.6.0
|
|
|
|
This document is a list of user visible feature changes made between
|
|
releases 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

|
|
|
== Changes since the 2.5.0 release
|
|
|
|
=== Language changes
|
|
|
|
* $SAFE is a process global state and we can set 0 again. [Feature #14250]
|
|
|
|
* refinements take place at block passing. [Feature #14223]
|
|
|
|
* `else` without `rescue` is now causes a syntax error. [EXPERIMENTAL]
|
|
|
|
* constant names may start with a non-ASCII capital letter. [Feature #13770]
|
|
|
|
=== 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:
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
=== Compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
|
|
|
|
* File
|
|
|
|
* File.read, File.binread, File.write, File.binwrite, File.foreach,
|
|
and File.readlines do not invoke external commands even if the path
|
|
starts with the pipe character |. [Feature #14245]
|
|
|
|
=== 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]
