|
* __callee__ has returned to the original behavior, and now
|
|
returns the called name but not the original name in an
|
|
aliased method.
|
|
* Kernel#inspect does not call #to_s anymore
|

|
|
are specified.
|
|
|
|
* String
|
|
* added method:
|
|
* added String#b returning a copied string whose encoding is ASCII-8BIT.
|
|
* change return value:
|
|

|
|
* String#chars now returns an array instead of an enumerator.
|
|
* String#codepoints now returns an array instead of an enumerator.

|
|
instance variable names.
|
|
|
|
* Thread
|

|
|
(these are different than Fiber local variables).
|
|
* added Thread#thread_variable_set for setting thread local variables.
|
|
* added Thread#thread_variables for getting a list of the thread local
|
|
variable keys.
|
|
* added Thread#thread_variable? for testing to see if a particular thread
|
|
variable has been set.
|
|
* added Thread#backtrace_locations which returns similar information of
|
|
Kernel#caller_locations.
|
|
* incompatible changes:
|
|
* Thread#join no longer allows to be used from trap handler. Now it raises
|
|
ThreadError.
|
|
* Thread#join raises ThreadError if target therad is a current or main thread.
|
|
|
|
* Time
|
|
* change return value:
|
|
* Time#to_s returned encoding defaults to US-ASCII but automatically
|
|
transcodes to Encoding.default_internal if it is set.
|
|
|
|
* TracePoint
|
|
* new class. This class is replacement of set_trace_func.
|
|
Easy to use and efficient implementation.
|
|
|
|
* toplevel
|
|
* added method:
|
|
* added main.define_method which defines a global function.
|
|
|
|
* cgi
|
|
* Add HTML5 tag maker.
|
|
* CGI#header has been renamed to CGI#http_header and
|
|
aliased to CGI#header.
|
|
* When HTML5 tagmaker called, overwrite CGI#header,
|
|
CGI#header function is to create a <header> element.
|
|
|
|
* iconv
|
|
* Iconv has been removed. Use String#encode instead.
|
|
|
|
* io/wait
|
|
* new features:
|
|
* added IO#wait_writable method.
|
|
* added IO#wait_readable method as alias of IO#wait.
|
|
|
|
* net/http
|
|
* new features:
|
|
* Proxies are now automatically detected from the http_proxy environment
|
|
variable. See Net::HTTP::new for details.
|
|
* gzip and deflate compression are now requested for all requests by
|
|
default. See Net::HTTP for details.
|
|
* SSL sessions are now reused across connections for a single instance.
|
|
This speeds up connection by using a previously negotiated session.
|
|
* new methods:
|
|
* Net::HTTP#local_host
|
|
* Net::HTTP#local_host=
|
|
* Net::HTTP#local_port
|
|
* Net::HTTP#local_port=
|
|
* extended method:
|
|
* Net::HTTP#connect uses local_host and local_port if specified.
|
|
|
|
* net/imap
|
|
* new methods:
|
|
* Net::IMAP.default_port
|
|
* Net::IMAP.default_imap_port
|
|
* Net::IMAP.default_tls_port
|
|
* Net::IMAP.default_ssl_port
|
|
* Net::IMAP.default_imaps_port
|
|
|
|
* objspace
|
|
* new method:
|
|
* ObjectSpace.reachable_objects_from(obj)
|
|
|
|
* openssl
|
|
* Consistently raise an error when trying to encode nil values. All instances
|
|
of OpenSSL::ASN1::Primitive now raise TypeError when calling to_der on an
|
|
instance whose value is nil. All instances of OpenSSL::ASN1::Constructive
|
|
raise NoMethodError in the same case. Constructing such values is still
|
|
permitted.
|
|
* TLS 1.1 & 1.2 support by setting OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#ssl_version to
|
|
:TLSv1_2, :TLSv1_2_server, :TLSv1_2_client or :TLSv1_1, :TLSv1_1_server
|
|
:TLSv1_1_client. The version being effectively used can be queried
|
|
with OpenSSL::SSL#ssl_version. Furthermore, it is also possible to
|
|
blacklist the new TLS versions with OpenSSL::SSL:OP_NO_TLSv1_1 and
|
|
OpenSSL::SSL::OP_NO_TLSv1_2.
|
|
* Added OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#renegotiation_cb. A user-defined callback
|
|
may be set which gets called whenever a new handshake is negotiated. This
|
|
also allows to programmatically decline (client) renegotiation attempts.
|
|
* Support for "0/n" splitting of records as BEAST mitigation via
|
|
OpenSSL::SSL::OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS.
|
|
* OpenSSL requires passwords for decrypting PEM-encoded files to be at least
|
|
four characters long. This led to awkward situations where an export with
|
|
a password with fewer than four characters was possible, but accessing the
|
|
file afterwards failed. OpenSSL::PKey::RSA, OpenSSL::PKey::DSA and
|
|
OpenSSL::PKey::EC therefore now enforce the same check when exporting a
|
|
private key to PEM with a password - it has to be at least four characters
|
|
long.
|
|
* SSL/TLS support for the Next Protocol Negotiation extension. Supported
|
|
with OpenSSL 1.0.1 and higher.
|
|
* OpenSSL::OPENSSL_FIPS allows client applications to detect whether OpenSSL
|
|
is running in FIPS mode and to react to the special requirements this
|
|
might impy.
|
|
|
|
* ostruct
|
|
* new methods:
|
|
* OpenStruct#[], []=
|
|
* OpenStruct#each_pair
|
|
* OpenStruct#eql?
|
|
* OpenStruct#hash
|
|
* OpenStruct#to_h converts the struct to a hash.
|
|
* extended method:
|
|
* OpenStruct.new also accepts an OpenStruct / Struct.
|
|
|
|
* pathname
|
|
* extended method:
|
|
* Pathname#find returns an enumerator if no block is given.
|
|
|
|
* rake
|
|
* rake has been updated to version 0.9.4.
|
|
|
|
This version is backwards-compatible with previous rake versions and
|
|
contains many bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
See
|
|
http://rake.rubyforge.org/doc/release_notes/rake-0_9_4_rdoc.html for a list
|
|
of changes in rake 0.9.3 and 0.9.4.
|
|
|
|
* rdoc
|
|
* rdoc has been updated to version 4.0
|
|
|
|
This version is largely backwards-compatible with previous rdoc versions.
|
|
The most notable change is an update to the ri data format (ri data must
|
|
be regenerated for gems shared across rdoc versions). Further API changes
|
|
are internal and won't affect most users.
|
|
|
|
See https://github.com/rdoc/rdoc/blob/master/History.rdoc for a list of
|
|
changes in rdoc 4.0.
|
|
|
|
* resolv
|
|
* new methods:
|
|
* Resolv::DNS#timeouts=
|
|
* Resolv::DNS::Config#timeouts=
|
|
|
|
* rexml
|
|
* REXML::Document#write supports Hash arguments.
|
|
* REXML::Document#write supports new :encoding option. It changes
|
|
XML document encoding. Without :encoding option, encoding in
|
|
XML declaration is used for XML document encoding.
|
|
|
|
* shellwords
|
|
* Shellwords#shellescape() now stringifies the given object using to_s.
|
|
* Shellwords#shelljoin() accepts non-string objects in the given
|
|
array, each of which is stringified using to_s.
|
|
|
|
* syslog
|
|
* Added Syslog::Logger which provides a Logger API atop Syslog.
|
|
* Syslog::Priority, Syslog::Level, Syslog::Option and Syslog::Macros
|
|
are introduced for easy detection of available constants on a
|
|
running system.
|
|
|
|
* tmpdir
|
|
* incompatible changes:
|
|
* Dir.mktmpdir uses FileUtils.remove_entry instead of
|
|
FileUtils.remove_entry_secure. This means that applications should not
|
|
change the permission of the created temporary directory to make
|
|
accessible from other users.
|
|
|
|
* yaml
|
|
* Syck has been removed. YAML now completely depends on libyaml being
|
|
installed.
|
|
|
|
* zlib
|
|
* Added streaming support for Zlib::Inflate and Zlib::Deflate. This allows
|
|
processing of a stream without the use of large amounts of memory.
|
|
* Added support for the new deflate strategies Zlib::RLE and Zlib::FIXED.
|
|
* Zlib streams are now processed without the GVL. This allows gzip, zlib and
|
|
deflate streams to be processed in parallel.
|
|
|
|
=== Language changes
|
|
|
|
* Added %i and %I for symbol list creation (similar to %w and %W).
|
|
|
|
* Default source encoding is changed to UTF-8. (was US-ASCII)
|
|
|
|
=== Compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
|
|
|
|
* Array#values_at
|
|
|
|
See above.
|
|
|
|
* String#lines
|
|
* String#chars
|
|
* String#codepoints
|
|
* String#bytes
|
|
|
|
These methods no longer return an Enumerator, although passing a
|
|
block is still supported for backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
Code like str.lines.with_index(1) { |line, lineno| ... } no longer
|
|
works because str.lines returns an array. Replace lines with
|
|
each_line in such cases.
|
|
|
|
* Signal.trap
|
|
|
|
See above.
|
|
|
|
* Merge Onigmo.
|
|
https://github.com/k-takata/Onigmo
|
|
|
|
* The :close_others option is true by default for system() and exec().
|
|
Also, the close-on-exec flag is set by default for all new file descriptors.
|
|
This means file descriptors doesn't inherit to spawned process unless
|
|
explicitly requested such as system(..., fd=>fd).
|
|
|
|
* Kernel#respond_to? against a protected method now returns false
|
|
unless the second argument is true.
|
|
|
|
* Dir.mktmpdir in lib/tmpdir.rb
|
|
|
|
See above.
|
|
|
|
* OpenStruct new methods can conflict with custom attributes named
|
|
"each_pair", "eql?", "hash" or "to_h".
|
|
|
|
* Thread#join
|
|
|
|
See above.
|
|
|
|
* Mutex#lock, Mutex#unlock, Mutex#try_lock, Mutex#synchronize and Mutex#sleep
|
|
|
|
See above.
