with all sufficient information, see the ChangeLog file.
== Changes since the 2.0.0 release
=== Language changes
=== Core classes updates (outstanding ones only)
* GC
* added environment variable:
* RUBY_HEAP_SLOTS_GROWTH_FACTOR: growth rate of the heap.
* IO
* extended methods:
* IO#seek accepts symbols (:CUR, :END, :SET) for 2nd argument.
* Kernel
* New methods:
* Kernel#singleton_method
* Module
* New methods:
* Module#using, which activates refinements of the specified module only
in the current class or module definition.
* Mutex
* misc
* Mutex#owned? is no longer experimental.
* String
* New methods:
* String#scrub and String#scrub! verify and fix invalid byte sequence.
* extended methods:
* If invalid: :replace is specified for String#encode, replace
invalid byte sequence even if the destination encoding equals to
the source encoding.
* pack/unpack (Array/String)
* Q! and q! directives for long long type if platform has the type.
* toplevel
* extended methods:
* main.using activates refinements in the ancestors of the argument
module to support refinement inheritance by Module#include.
=== Core classes compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
* IO
* incompatible changes:
* open ignore internal encoding if external encoding is ASCII-8BIT.
* Kernel#untrusted?, untrust, and trust
* These methods are deprecated and their behavior is same as tainted?,
taint, and untaint, respectively. If $VERBOSE is true, they show warnings.
* Module#ancestors
* The ancestors of a singleton class now include singleton classes,
in particular itself.
* Numeric#quo
* Raises TypeError instead of ArgumentError if the receiver doesn't have
to_r method.
=== Stdlib updates (outstanding ones only)
* Digest
* extended methods:
* Digest::Class.file takes optional arguments for its constructor
* Matrix
* Added Vector#cross_product.
* Net::SMTP
* Added Net::SMTP#rset to implement the RSET command
* Pathname
* New methods:
* Pathname#write
* Pathname#binwrite
* OpenSSL::BN
* extended methods:
* OpenSSL::BN.new allows Fixnum/Bignum argument.
* open-uri
* Support multiple fields with same field name (like Set-Cookie).
* Resolv
* New methods:
* Resolv::DNS.fetch_resource
* One-shot multicast DNS support
* Support LOC resources
* Rinda::RingServer, Rinda::RingFinger
* Rinda now supports multicast sockets. See Rinda::RingServer and
Rinda::RingFinger for details.
* RubyGems
* Updated to 2.0.3. See
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/rubygems-update/History_txt.html#label-2.0.3+%2F+2012-03-1
for release notes.
* Socket
* New methods:
* Socket.getifaddrs
* StringScanner
* extended methods:
* StringScanner#[] supports named captures.
* Syslog::Logger
* Added facility.
* Tempfile
* New methods:
* Tempfile.create
* CGI::Util
* All class methods modulized.
* XMLRPC::Client
* New methods:
* XMLRPC::Client#http. It returns Net::HTTP for the client. Normally,
it is not needed. It is useful when you want to change minor HTTP client
options. You can change major HTTP client options by XMLRPC::Client
methods. You should use XMLRPC::Client methods for changing major
HTTP client options instead of XMLRPC::Client#http.
* REXML::Parsers::StreamParser
* Supports "entity" event.
* REXML::Text
* REXML::Text#<< supports method chain like 'text << "XXX" << "YYY"'.
* REXML::Text#<< supports not "raw" mode.
* Set
* New methods:
* Set#intersect?
* Set#disjoint?
=== Stdlib compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
* Set
* incompatible changes:
* Set#to_set now returns self instead of generating a copy.
* URI
* incompatible changes:
* URI.decode_www_form follows current WHATWG URL Standard.
It gets encoding argument to specify the character encoding.
It now allows loose percent encoded strings, but denies ;-separator.
* URI.encode_www_form follows current WHATWG URL Standard.
It gets encoding argument to convert before percent encode.
UTF-16 strings aren't converted to UTF-8 before percent encode by default.
=== Built-in global variables compatibility issues
* $SAFE
* $SAFE=4 is obsolete. If $SAFE is set to 4 or larger, an ArgumentError
is raised.
=== C API updates
