eval string. [experimental]
=== Core classes compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
* Array#values_at
See above.
* String#lines
* String#chars
* String#codepoints
* String#bytes
These methods no longer return an Enumerator, although passing a
block is still supported for backwards compatibility.
Code like str.lines.with_index(1) { |line, lineno| ... } no longer
works because str.lines returns an array. Replace lines with
each_line in such cases.
* IO#lines
* IO#chars
* IO#codepoints
* IO#bytes
* ARGF#lines
* ARGF#chars
* ARGF#bytes
* StringIO#lines
* StringIO#chars
* StringIO#codepoints
* StringIO#bytes
* Zlib::GzipReader#lines
* Zlib::GzipReader#bytes
These methods are deprecated in favor of each_line, each_byte,
each_char and each_codepoint.
* Proc#==
* Proc#eql?
These methods were removed. Two procs are == only when they are
the same object.
* Fixnum
* Bignum
* Float
Fixnums, Bignums and Floats are frozen.
* Signal.trap
See above.
* Merge Onigmo.
https://github.com/k-takata/Onigmo
* The :close_others option is true by default for system() and exec().
Also, the close-on-exec flag is set by default for all new file descriptors.
This means file descriptors doesn't inherit to spawned process unless
explicitly requested such as system(..., fd=>fd).
* Kernel#respond_to? against a protected method now returns false
unless the second argument is true.
* Kernel#respond_to_missing?
* Kernel#initialize_clone
* Kernel#initialize_dup
These methods are now private.
* Thread#join, Thread#value
See above.
* Mutex#lock, Mutex#unlock, Mutex#try_lock, Mutex#synchronize and Mutex#sleep
See above.
=== Stdlib updates (outstanding ones only)
* cgi
* Add HTML5 tag maker.
* CGI#header has been renamed to CGI#http_header and
aliased to CGI#header.
* When HTML5 tagmaker called, overwrite CGI#header,
CGI#header function is to create a <header> element.
* CSV
* Removed CSV::dump and CSV::load to protect users from dangerous
serialization vulnerability
* iconv
* Iconv has been removed. Use String#encode instead.
* io/console
* new methods:
* added IO#cooked which sets the terminal to cooked mode within the given block.
* added IO#cooked! which sets the terminal to cooked.
* extended method:
* IO#raw, IO#raw!, and IO#getch accept keyword arguments, :min and :time.
* io/wait
* new features:
* added IO#wait_writable method.
* added IO#wait_readable method as alias of IO#wait.
* json
* updated to 1.7.7.
* net/http
* new features:
* Proxies are now automatically detected from the http_proxy environment
variable. See Net::HTTP::new for details.
* gzip and deflate compression are now requested for all requests by
default. See Net::HTTP for details.
* SSL sessions are now reused across connections for a single instance.
This speeds up connection by using a previously negotiated session.
* Requests may be created from a URI which sets the request_uri and host
header of the request (but does not change the host connected to).
* Responses contain the URI requested which allows easier implementation of
redirect following.
* new methods:
* Net::HTTP#local_host
* Net::HTTP#local_host=
* Net::HTTP#local_port
* Net::HTTP#local_port=
* extended method:
* Net::HTTP#connect uses local_host and local_port if specified.
* net/imap
* new methods:
* Net::IMAP.default_port
* Net::IMAP.default_imap_port
* Net::IMAP.default_tls_port
* Net::IMAP.default_ssl_port
* Net::IMAP.default_imaps_port
* objspace
* new method:
* ObjectSpace.reachable_objects_from(obj)
* openssl
* Consistently raise an error when trying to encode nil values. All instances
of OpenSSL::ASN1::Primitive now raise TypeError when calling to_der on an
instance whose value is nil. All instances of OpenSSL::ASN1::Constructive
raise NoMethodError in the same case. Constructing such values is still
permitted.
* TLS 1.1 & 1.2 support by setting OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#ssl_version to
:TLSv1_2, :TLSv1_2_server, :TLSv1_2_client or :TLSv1_1, :TLSv1_1_server
:TLSv1_1_client. The version being effectively used can be queried
with OpenSSL::SSL#ssl_version. Furthermore, it is also possible to
blacklist the new TLS versions with OpenSSL::SSL:OP_NO_TLSv1_1 and
OpenSSL::SSL::OP_NO_TLSv1_2.
* Added OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#renegotiation_cb. A user-defined callback
may be set which gets called whenever a new handshake is negotiated. This
also allows to programmatically decline (client) renegotiation attempts.
* Support for "0/n" splitting of records as BEAST mitigation via
OpenSSL::SSL::OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS.
* The default options for OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext have changed to
OpenSSL::SSL::OP_ALL & ~OpenSSL::SSL::OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
instead of OpenSSL::SSL::OP_ALL only. This enables the countermeasure for
the BEAST attack by default.
* OpenSSL requires passwords for decrypting PEM-encoded files to be at least
four characters long. This led to awkward situations where an export with
a password with fewer than four characters was possible, but accessing the
file afterwards failed. OpenSSL::PKey::RSA, OpenSSL::PKey::DSA and
OpenSSL::PKey::EC therefore now enforce the same check when exporting a
private key to PEM with a password - it has to be at least four characters
long.
* SSL/TLS support for the Next Protocol Negotiation extension. Supported
with OpenSSL 1.0.1 and higher.
* OpenSSL::OPENSSL_FIPS allows client applications to detect whether OpenSSL
is FIPS-enabled. OpenSSL.fips_mode= allows turning on and off FIPS mode
manually in order to adapt to situations where FIPS mode would be an
explicit requirement.
* Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) is supported via
Cipher#auth_data= and Cipher#auth_tag/Cipher#auth_tag=.
Currently (OpenSSL 1.0.1c), only GCM mode is supported.
* ostruct
* new methods:
* OpenStruct#[], []=
* OpenStruct#each_pair
* OpenStruct#eql?
* OpenStruct#hash
* OpenStruct#to_h converts the struct to a hash.
* extended method:
* OpenStruct.new also accepts an OpenStruct / Struct.
* pathname
* extended method:
* Pathname#find returns an enumerator if no block is given.
* rake
* rake has been updated to version 0.9.5.
This version is backwards-compatible with previous rake versions and
contains many bug fixes.
See
http://rake.rubyforge.org/doc/release_notes/rake-0_9_5_rdoc.html for a list
of changes in rake 0.9.3, 0.9.4 and 0.9.5.
* RDoc
* RDoc has been updated to version 4.0
This version is largely backwards-compatible with previous rdoc versions.
The most notable change is an update to the ri data format (ri data must
be regenerated for gems shared across rdoc versions). Further API changes
are internal and won't affect most users.
Notable changes include:
* Page support for ri. Try `ri ruby:` for a list of pages in ruby or
`ri ruby:syntax/literals` for the syntax documentation for literals.
This also works for gems such as `ri rspec:README` for the rspec gem's
README file.
* Markdown support. See ri RDoc::Markdown for details.
See https://github.com/rdoc/rdoc/blob/master/History.rdoc for a full list
of changes in rdoc 4.0.
* resolv
* new methods:
* Resolv::DNS#timeouts=
* Resolv::DNS::Config#timeouts=
* rexml
* REXML::Document#write supports Hash arguments.
* REXML::Document#write supports new :encoding option. It changes
XML document encoding. Without :encoding option, encoding in
XML declaration is used for XML document encoding.
* RubyGems
* Updated to 2.0.14.
See http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/rubygems-update/History_txt.html#label-2.0.14+%2F+2013-11-12
for release notes.
* Updated to 2.0.10. This fixes CVE_2013-4363:
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/rubygems-update/CVE-2013-4363_txt.html
* Updated to 2.0.8. This fixes CVE-2013-4287:
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/rubygems-update/CVE-2013-4287_txt.html
* Updated to 2.0.0
RubyGems 2.0.0 features the following improvements:
* Improved support for default gems shipping with ruby 2.0.0+
* A gem can have arbitrary metadata through Gem::Specification#metadata
* `gem search` now defaults to --remote and is anchored like gem list.
* Added --document to replace --rdoc and --ri. Use --no-document to
disable documentation, --document=rdoc to only generate rdoc.
* Only ri-format documentation is generated by default.
* `gem server` uses RDoc::Servlet from RDoc 4.0 to generate HTML
documentation.
For an expanded list of updates and bug fixes see:
https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/master/History.txt
* shellwords
* Shellwords#shellescape now stringifies the given object using to_s.
* Shellwords#shelljoin accepts non-string objects in the given
array, each of which is stringified using to_s.
* stringio
* deprecated methods:
* StringIO#lines, #bytes, #chars and #codepoints are deprecated.
* syslog
* Added Syslog::Logger which provides a Logger API atop Syslog.
* Syslog::Priority, Syslog::Level, Syslog::Option and Syslog::Macros
are introduced for easy detection of available constants on a
running system.
* tmpdir
* incompatible changes:
* Dir.mktmpdir uses FileUtils.remove_entry instead of
FileUtils.remove_entry_secure. This means that applications should not
change the permission of the created temporary directory to make
accessible from other users.
* yaml
* Syck has been removed. YAML now completely depends on libyaml being
installed.
* libyaml is now bundled with ruby, for cases where the library is not
installed locally.
* zlib
* Added streaming support for Zlib::Inflate and Zlib::Deflate. This allows
processing of a stream without the use of large amounts of memory.
* Added support for the new deflate strategies Zlib::RLE and Zlib::FIXED.
* Zlib streams are now processed without the GVL. This allows gzip, zlib and
deflate streams to be processed in parallel.
* deprecated methods:
* Zlib::GzipReader#lines and #bytes are deprecated.
=== Stdlib compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
* OpenStruct new methods can conflict with custom attributes named
"each_pair", "eql?", "hash" or "to_h".
* Dir.mktmpdir in lib/tmpdir.rb
See above.
=== C API updates
* NUM2SHORT() and NUM2USHORT() added. They are similar to NUM2INT, but short.
* rb_newobj_of() and NEWOBJ_OF() added. They create a new object of a given class.
