=== Stdlib updates (outstanding ones only)
|
|
|
|
* BigDecimal
|
|
|
|
* Update to BigDecimal 1.3.4
|
|
|
|
* The following features are added:
|
|
|
|
* BigDecimal::VERSION
|
|
|
|
* The following features have been deprecated,
|
|
and are planned to be removed in the version 1.4.0:
|
|
|
|
* BigDecimal.new
|
|
|
|
* BigDecimal.ver
|
|
|
|
* BigDecimal#clone and #dup now do not make a new instance,
|
|
but returns the receiver itself.
|
|
|
|
* Coverage
|
|
|
|
* Support branch coverage and method coverage measurement. [Feature #13901]
|
|
Branch coverage tells you which branches are executed, and which not.
|
|
Method coverage tells you which methods are invoked, and which not.
|
|
By running a test suite with this new feature, you can know which branches
|
|
and methods are executed by a test, and evaluate total coverage of a test
|
|
suite more strictly.
|
|
|
|
You can specify the measuring target by an option to `Coverage.start`:
|
|
|
|
Coverage.start(lines: true, branches: true, methods: true)
|
|
|
|
After some Ruby files are loaded, you can use `Coverage.result` to get
|
|
the coverage result:
|
|
|
|
Coverage.result
|
|
#=> { "/path/to/file.rb"=>
|
|
# { :lines => [1, 2, 0, nil, ...],
|
|
# :branches =>
|
|
# { [:if, 0, 2, 1, 6, 4] =>
|
|
# { [:then, 1, 3, 2, 3, 8] => 0,
|
|
# [:else, 2, 5, 2, 5, 8] => 2
|
|
# }
|
|
# },
|
|
# :methods => {
|
|
# [Object, :foo, 1, 0, 7, 3] => 2
|
|
# }
|
|
# }
|
|
# }
|
|
|
|
The result type of line coverage is not changed; it is just an array that
|
|
contains numbers, which means the count that each line was executed,
|
|
or `nil`s, which means that the line is not relevant.
|
|
|
|
The result type of branch coverage is:
|
|
|
|
{ (jump base) => { (jump target) => (counter) } }
|
|
|
|
where jump base and targets have the format
|
|
|
|
[type, unique-id, start lineno, start column, end lineno, end column]
|
|
|
|
For example, `[:if, 0, 2, 1, 6, 4]` reads an `if` statement that ranges from
|
|
line 2 and column 1, to line 6 and column 4. `[:then, 1, 3, 2, 3, 8]` reads
|
|
a `then` clause that ranges from line 3 and column 2, to line 3 and column 8.
|
|
Note that lineno starts from 1, and that columnno starts from 0. So, the
|
|
above example shows a branch from the `if` to the `then` was never executed,
|
|
and a branch from the `if` to the `else` was executed twice.
|
|
|
|
The result type of method coverage is:
|
|
|
|
{ (method key) => (counter) }
|
|
|
|
where method key has the format
|
|
|
|
[class, method-name, start lineno, start column, end lineno, end column]
|
|
|
|
For example, `[Object, :foo, 1, 0, 7, 3]` reads `Object#foo` that ranges from
|
|
line 1 and column 0, to line 7 and column 3. The above example shows this
|
|
`Object#foo` was invoked twice.
|
|
|
|
Note: To keep compatibility, passing no option to `Coverage.start` will measure
|
|
only line coverage, and `Coverage.result` will return the old format:
|
|
|
|
Coverage.result
|
|
#=> { "/path/to/file.rb"=> [1, 2, 0, nil, ...] }
|
|
|
|
* DRb

|

|
|
|
* IPAddr no longer accepts invalid address mask. [Bug #13399]
|

|
|

|

|
|
=== Implementation improvements
|
|
|
|
* (This might not be a "user visible feature change" but) Hash class's
|
|
hash function is now SipHash13. [Feature #13017]
|
|
|
|
* SecureRandom now prefers OS-provided sources than OpenSSL. [Bug #9569]
|
|
|
|
* Mutex rewritten to be smaller and faster [Feature #13517]
|
|
|
|
* Performance of block passing using block parameters is improved by
|
|
lazy Proc allocation [Feature #14045]
|
|
|
|
* Dynamic instrumentation for TracePoint hooks instead of using "trace"
|
|
instruction to avoid overhead [Feature #14104]
|
|
|
|
* ERB now generates code from a template twice as fast as Ruby 2.4
|
|
|
|
=== Miscellaneous changes
|
|
|
|
* Print backtrace and error message in reverse order if $stderr is unchanged
|
|
and a tty. [Feature #8661] [experimental]
|
|
|
|
* Print error message in bold/underlined text if $stderr is unchanged and a
|
|
tty. [Feature #14140] [experimental]
|
|
|
|
* configure option --with-ext now mandates its arguments. So for
|
|
instance if you run ./configure --with-ext=openssl,+ then the
|
|
openssl library is guaranteed compiled, otherwise the build fails
|
|
abnormally.
|
|
|
|
Note however to always add the ",+" at the end of the argument.
|
|
Otherwise nothing but openssl are built. [Feature #13302]
