|
|
* Time#to_s now returns a string in a form that

conforms to RFC2822.
|
|
|
|
# Before
|
|
"Wed Mar 03 12:34:56 JST 2007"

|
* digest
|
|
|
|
* The constructor does no longer take an initial
|
|
string to feed; digest() and hexdigest() now do,
|
|
instead. The following examples show how to
|
|
migrate:
|
|
|
|
# Before
|
|
md = Digest::MD5.new("string")
|
|
# After (works with any version)
|
|
md = Digest::MD5.new.update("string")
|
|
|
|
# Before
|
|
hd = Digest::MD5.new("string").hexdigest
|
|
# After (works with any version)
|
|
hd = Digest::MD5.hexdigest("string")
|
