# NEWS for Ruby 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]]
* Arguments forwarding (`...`) now supports leading arguments.
[[Feature #16378]]
```ruby
def method_missing(meth, ...)
send(:"do_#{meth}", ...)
end
```
* 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]]
```ruby
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.
C-API methods related to $SAFE have been removed.
[[Feature #16131]]
* $KCODE is now a normal global variable with no special behavior. No
warnings are emitted by access/assignment to it, and the assigned
value will be returned. [[Feature #17136]]
* 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]]
* Pattern matching(`case/in`) is no longer experimental. [[Feature #17260]]
* One-line pattern matching is redesigned. [EXPERIMENTAL]
* `=>` is added. It can be used as like rightward assignment.
[[Feature #17260]]
```ruby
0 => a
p a #=> 0
{b: 0, c: 1} => {b:}
p b #=> 0
```
* `in` is changed to return `true` or `false`. [[Feature #17371]]
```ruby
# version 3.0
0 in 1 #=> false
# version 2.7
0 in 1 #=> raise NoMatchingPatternError
```
* Find-pattern is added. [EXPERIMENTAL]
[[Feature #16828]]
```ruby
case ["a", 1, "b", "c", 2, "d", "e", "f", 3]
in [*pre, String => x, String => y, *post]
p pre #=> ["a", 1]
p x #=> "b"
p y #=> "c"
p post #=> [2, "d", "e", "f", 3]
end
```
* When a class variable is overtaken by the same definition in an
ancestor class/module, a RuntimeError is now raised (previously,
it only issued a warning in verbose mode). Additionally, accessing a
class variable from the toplevel scope is now a RuntimeError.
[[Bug #14541]]
* Assigning to a numbered parameter is now a SyntaxError instead of
a warning.
* Endless method definition is added. [EXPERIMENTAL]
[[Feature #16746]]
```ruby
def square(x) = x * x
```
* Interpolated String literals are no longer frozen when
`# frozen-string-literal: true` is used. [[Feature #17104]]
* A {static analysis}[rdoc-label:label-Static+analysis] foundation is
introduced.
* {RBS}[rdoc-label:label-RBS] is introduced. It is a type definition
language for Ruby programs.
* {TypeProf}[rdoc-label:label-TypeProf] is experimentally bundled. It is a
type analysis tool for Ruby programs.
## Command line options
### `--help` option
When the environment variable `RUBY_PAGER` or `PAGER` is present and has
non-empty value, and the standard input and output are tty, `--help`
option shows the help message via the pager designated by the value.
[[Feature #16754]]
### `--backtrace-limit` option
`--backtrace-limit` option limits the maximum length of backtrace.
[[Feature #8661]]
## Core classes updates
Outstanding ones only.
* Array
* The following methods now return Array instances instead of
subclass instances when called on subclass instances:
[[Bug #6087]]
* Array#drop
* Array#drop_while
* Array#flatten
* Array#slice!
* Array#slice / Array#[]
* Array#take
* Array#take_while
* Array#uniq
* Array#*
* ConditionVariable
* ConditionVariable#wait may now invoke the `block`/`unblock` scheduler
hooks in a non-blocking context. [[Feature #16786]]
* Dir
* Dir.glob and Dir.[] now sort the results by default, and
accept `sort:` keyword option. [[Feature #8709]]
* ENV
* ENV.except has been added, which returns a hash excluding the
given keys and their values. [[Feature #15822]]
* Windows: Read ENV names and values as UTF-8 encoded Strings
[[Feature #12650]]
* Encoding
* Added new encoding IBM720. [[Feature #16233]]
* Changed default for Encoding.default_external to UTF-8 on Windows
[[Feature #16604]]
* Fiber
* Fiber.new(blocking: true/false) allows you to create non-blocking
execution contexts. [[Feature #16786]]
* Fiber#blocking? tells whether the fiber is non-blocking. [[Feature #16786]]
* Fiber#backtrace & Fiber#backtrace_locations provide per-fiber backtrace.
[[Feature #16815]]
* The limitation of Fiber#transfer is relaxed. [[Bug #17221]]
* GC
* GC.auto_compact= and GC.auto_compact have been added to control
when compaction runs. Setting `auto_compact=` to true will cause
compaction to occur during major collections. At the moment,
compaction adds significant overhead to major collections, so please
test first! [[Feature #17176]]
* Hash
* Hash#transform_keys now accepts a hash that maps keys to new
keys. [[Feature #16274]]
* Hash#except has been added, which returns a hash excluding the
given keys and their values. [[Feature #15822]]
* IO
* IO#nonblock? now defaults to `true`. [[Feature #16786]]
* IO#wait_readable, IO#wait_writable, IO#read, IO#write and other
related methods (e.g. IO#puts, IO#gets) may invoke the scheduler hook
`#io_wait(io, events, timeout)` in a non-blocking execution context.
[[Feature #16786]]
* Kernel
* Kernel#clone when called with `freeze: false` keyword will call
`#initialize_clone` with the `freeze: false` keyword.
[[Bug #14266]]
* Kernel#clone when called with `freeze: true` keyword will call
`#initialize_clone` with the `freeze: true` keyword, and will
return a frozen copy even if the receiver is unfrozen.
[[Feature #16175]]
* Kernel#eval when called with two arguments will use "(eval)"
for `__FILE__` and 1 for `__LINE__` in the evaluated code.
[[Bug #4352]]
* Kernel#lambda now warns if called without a literal block.
[[Feature #15973]]
* Kernel.sleep invokes the scheduler hook `#kernel_sleep(...)` in a
non-blocking execution context. [[Feature #16786]]
* Module
* Module#include and Module#prepend now affect classes and modules
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]]
```ruby
class C; end
module M1; end
module M2; end
C.include M1
M1.include M2
p C.ancestors #=> [C, M1, M2, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]
```
* Mutex
* `Mutex` is now acquired per-`Fiber` instead of per-`Thread`. This change
should be compatible for essentially all usages and avoids blocking when
using a scheduler. [[Feature #16792]]
* Proc
* Proc#== and Proc#eql? are now defined and will return true for
separate Proc instances if the procs were created from the same block.
[[Feature #14267]]
* Queue / SizedQueue
* Queue#pop, SizedQueue#push and related methods may now invoke the
`block`/`unblock` scheduler hooks in a non-blocking context.
[[Feature #16786]]
* Ractor
* New class added to enable parallel execution. See rdoc-ref:ractor.md for
more details.
* Random
* `Random::DEFAULT` now refers to the `Random` class instead of being a `Random` instance,
so it can work with `Ractor`.
[[Feature #17322]]
* `Random::DEFAULT` is deprecated since its value is now confusing and it is no longer global,
use `Kernel.rand`/`Random.rand` directly, or create a `Random` instance with `Random.new` instead.
[[Feature #17351]]
* String
* The following methods now return or yield String instances
instead of subclass instances when called on subclass instances:
[[Bug #10845]]
* String#*
* String#capitalize
* String#center
* String#chomp
* String#chop
* String#delete
* String#delete_prefix
* String#delete_suffix
* String#downcase
* String#dump
* String#each_char
* String#each_grapheme_cluster
* String#each_line
* String#gsub
* String#ljust
* String#lstrip
* String#partition
* String#reverse
* String#rjust
* String#rpartition
* String#rstrip
* String#scrub
* String#slice!
* String#slice / String#[]
* String#split
* String#squeeze
* String#strip
* String#sub
* String#succ / String#next
* String#swapcase
* String#tr
* String#tr_s
* String#upcase
* Symbol
* Symbol#to_proc now returns a lambda Proc. [[Feature #16260]]
* Symbol#name has been added, which returns the name of the symbol
if it is named. The returned string is frozen. [[Feature #16150]]
* Thread
* Introduce Fiber.set_scheduler for intercepting blocking operations and
Fiber.scheduler for accessing the current scheduler. See
rdoc-ref:scheduler.md for more details. [[Feature #16786]]
* Fiber.blocking? tells whether the current execution context is
blocking. [[Feature #16786]]
* Thread#join invokes the scheduler hooks `block`/`unblock` in a
non-blocking execution context. [[Feature #16786]]
* Thread.ignore_deadlock accessor has been added for disabling the
default deadlock detection, allowing the use of signal handlers to
break deadlock. [[Bug #13768]]
* Warning
* Warning#warn now supports a category keyword argument.
[[Feature #17122]]
## Stdlib updates
Outstanding ones only.
* BigDecimal
* Update to BigDecimal 2.0.2
* Bundler
* Update to Bundler 2.2.1
* CSV
* Update to CSV 3.1.9
* Fiddle
* Update to Fiddle 1.0.2
* IRB
* Update to IRB 1.2.6
* JSON
* Update to JSON 2.4.0
* Socket
* Add :connect_timeout to TCPSocket.new [[Feature #17187]]
* Net::HTTP
* Net::HTTP#verify_hostname= and Net::HTTP#verify_hostname have been
added to skip hostname verification. [[Feature #16555]]
* Net::HTTP.get, Net::HTTP.get_response, and Net::HTTP.get_print
can take the request headers as a Hash in the second argument when the
first argument is a URI. [[Feature #16686]]
* Net::SMTP
* Add SNI support.
* Net::SMTP.start arguments are keyword arguments.
* TLS should not check the host name by default.
* OpenStruct
* Initialization no longer lazy [[Bug #12136]]
* Builtin methods can now be overridden safely. [[Bug #15409]]
* Implementation uses only methods ending with `!`.
* Ractor compatible.
* Improved support for YAML [[Bug #8382]]
* Use officially discouraged. Read OpenStruct@Caveats section.
* Psych
* Update to Psych 3.2.1
* Reline
* Update to Reline 0.1.5
* RubyGems
* Update to RubyGems 3.2.1
## Compatibility issues
Excluding feature bug fixes.
* Regexp literals and all Range objects are frozen [[Feature #8948]] [[Feature #16377]] [[Feature #15504]]
```ruby
/foo/.frozen? #=> true
(42...).frozen? # => true
```
* 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 3.0 release.
* When writing to STDOUT redirected to a closed pipe, no broken pipe
error message will be shown now. [[Feature #14413]]
* `TRUE`/`FALSE`/`NIL` constants are no longer defined.
* Integer#zero? overrides Numeric#zero? for optimization. [[Misc #16961]]
* Requiring 'open-uri' no longer redefines `Kernel#open`.
Call `URI.open` directly or `use URI#open` instead. [[Misc #15893]]
## Stdlib compatibility issues
* Default gems
* The following libraries are promoted the default gems from stdlib.
* English
* abbrev
* base64
* drb
* debug
* erb
* find
* net-ftp
* net-http
* net-imap
* net-protocol
* open-uri
* optparse
* pp
* prettyprint
* resolv-replace
* resolv
* rinda
* set
* securerandom
* shellwords
* tempfile
* tmpdir
* time
* tsort
* un
* weakref
* The following extensions are promoted the default gems from stdlib.
* digest
* io-nonblock
* io-wait
* nkf
* pathname
* syslog
* win32ole
* 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.
* SDBM have been removed from ruby standard library. [[Bug #8446]]
* The issues of sdbm will be handled at https://github.com/ruby/sdbm
## C API updates
* C API functions related to $SAFE have been removed.
[[Feature #16131]]
* C API header file `ruby/ruby.h` was split. [[GH-2991]] Should have no impact
on extension libraries, but users might experience slow compilations.
* Memory view interface [EXPERIMENTAL]
* The memory view interface is a C-API set to exchange a raw memory area,
such as a numeric array and a bitmap image, between extension libraries.
The extension libraries can share also the metadata of the memory area
that consists of the shape, the element format, and so on.
Using these kinds of metadata, the extension libraries can share even
a multidimensional array appropriately.
This feature is designed by referring to Python's buffer protocol.
[[Feature #13767]] [[Feature #14722]]
## Implementation improvements
* New method cache mechanism for Ractor [[Feature #16614]]
* Inline method caches pointed from ISeq can be accessed by multiple Ractors
in parallel and synchronization is needed even for method caches. However,
such synchronization can be overhead so introducing new inline method cache
mechanisms, (1) Disposable inline method cache (2) per-Class method cache
and (3) new invalidation mechanism. (1) can avoid per-method call
synchronization because it only uses atomic operations.
See the ticket for more details.
* The number of hashes allocated when using a keyword splat in
a method call has been reduced to a maximum of 1, and passing
a keyword splat to a method that accepts specific keywords
does not allocate a hash.
* `super` is optimized when the same type of method is called in the previous call
if it's not refinements or an attr reader or writer.
### JIT
* Native functions shared by multiple methods are deduplicated on JIT compaction.
* Decrease code size of hot paths by some optimizations and partitioning cold paths.
* Not only pure Ruby methods but also some C methods skip pushing a method frame.
* `Kernel#class`, `Integer#zero?`
* Always generate appropriate code for `==`, `nil?`, and `!` calls depending on
a receiver class.
* Optimize instance variable access in some core classes like Hash and their subclasses.
* Eliminate VM register access on a method return.
* Optimize C method calls a little.
## Static analysis
### RBS
* RBS is a new language for type definition of Ruby programs.
It allows writing types of classes and modules with advanced
types including union types, overloading, generics, and
_interface types_ for duck typing.
* Ruby ships with type definitions for core/stdlib classes.
* `rbs` gem is bundled to load and process RBS files.
### TypeProf
* TypeProf is a type analysis tool for Ruby code based on abstract interpretation.
* It reads non-annotated Ruby code, tries inferring its type signature, and prints
the analysis result in RBS format.
* Though it supports only a subset of the Ruby language yet, we will continuously
improve the coverage of language features, the analysis performance, and usability.
```ruby
# test.rb
def foo(x)
if x > 10
x.to_s
else
nil
end
end
foo(42)
```
```
$ typeprof test.rb
# Classes
class Object
def foo : (Integer) -> String?
end
```
## Miscellaneous changes
* Methods using `ruby2_keywords` will no longer keep empty keyword
splats, those are now removed just as they are for methods not
using `ruby2_keywords`.
* When an exception is caught in the default handler, the error
message and backtrace are printed in order from the innermost.
[[Feature #8661]]
* Accessing an uninitialized instance variable no longer emits a
warning in verbose mode. [[Feature #17055]]
