= NEWS for Ruby 2.3.0

=== Language changes
* frozen-string-literal pragma:
* new pragma, frozen-string-literal has been experimentally introduced.
* besides, --enable/--disable=frozen-string-literal options also have
been introduced.
* safe navigation operator:
* new method call syntax, `object.?foo', method #foo is called on
`object' if it is not nil.
this is similar to `try!' in Active Support, except for:
* method name is syntactically required
obj.try! {} # valid
obj.? {} # syntax error
* attribute assignment is valid
obj.?attr += 1
=== Core classes updates (outstanding ones only)

:wait_readable or :wait_writable symbols instead of raising
IO::WaitReadable or IO::WaitWritable exceptions
* BasicSocket#recv and BasicSocket#recv_nonblock allow an output
String buffer argument like IO#read and IO#read_nonblock to reduce
