= NEWS for Ruby 2.3.0
This document is a list of user visible feature changes made between
releases 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.
== Changes since the 2.2.0 release
=== 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:
* method name is syntactically required
obj.try! {} # valid
obj&. {} # syntax error
* arguments are evaluated only if a call is made:
obj.try!(:foo, bar()) # bar() is always evaluated
obj&.foo(bar()) # bar() is conditionally evaluated
* attribute assignment is valid
obj&.attr += 1
=== Core classes updates (outstanding ones only)
