4
5 * Update bundled TZInfo to 0.3.12 [Geoff Buesing]
6
7 * Increment the version of our altered memcache-client to prevent confusion caused when the 1.5.0 gem is installed.
8
9 * Fixed the option merging in Array#to_xml #1126 [Rudolf Gavlas]
10
11 * Make I18n::Backend::Simple reload its translations in development mode [DHH/Sven Fuchs]
12
13 * TimeWithZone#freeze: preload instance variables so that we can actually freeze [Geoff Buesing]
14
15 * Fix Brasilia timezone #1180 [Marcus Derencius, Kane]
16
17 * Time#advance recognizes fractional days and weeks. Deprecate Durations of fractional months and years #970 [Tom Lea]
18
19 * Add ActiveSupport::Rescuable module abstracting ActionController::Base rescue_from features. [Norbert Crombach, Pratik]
20
21 * Switch from String#chars to String#mb_chars for the unicode proxy. [Manfred Stienstra]
22
23 This helps with 1.8.7 compatibility and also improves performance for some operations by reducing indirection.
24
25 * TimeWithZone #wday, #yday and #to_date avoid trip through #method_missing [Geoff Buesing]
26
27 * Added Time, Date, DateTime and TimeWithZone #past?, #future? and #today? #720 [Clemens Kofler, Geoff Buesing]
28
29 * Fixed Sri Jayawardenepura time zone to map to Asia/Colombo [Jamis Buck]
30
31 * Added Inflector#parameterize for easy slug generation ("Donald E. Knuth".parameterize => "donald-e-knuth") #713 [Matt Darby]
32
33 * Changed cache benchmarking to be reported in milliseconds [DHH]
34
35 * Fix Ruby's Time marshaling bug in pre-1.9 versions of Ruby: utc instances are now correctly unmarshaled with a utc zone instead of the system local zone [#900 state:resolved] [Luca Guidi, Geoff Buesing]
36
37 * Add Array#in_groups which splits or iterates over the array in specified number of groups. #579. [Adrian Mugnolo] Example:
38
39 a = (1..10).to_a
40 a.in_groups(3) #=> [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, nil], [8, 9, 10, nil]]
41 a.in_groups(3, false) #=> [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7], [8, 9, 10]]
42
43 * Fix TimeWithZone unmarshaling: coerce unmarshaled Time instances to utc, because Ruby's marshaling of Time instances doesn't respect the zone [Geoff Buesing]
44
45 * Added Memoizable mixin for caching simple lazy loaded attributes [Josh Peek]
46
47 * Move the test related core_ext stuff out of core_ext so it's only loaded by the test helpers. [Michael Koziarski]
48
49 * Add Inflection rules for String#humanize. #535 [dcmanges]
50
51 ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
52 inflect.human(/_cnt$/i, '\1_count')
53 end
54
55 'jargon_cnt'.humanize # => 'Jargon count'
56
57 * TimeWithZone: when crossing DST boundary, treat Durations of days, months or years as variable-length, and all other values as absolute length. A time + 24.hours will advance exactly 24 hours, but a time + 1.day will advance 23-25 hours, depending on the day. Ensure consistent behavior across all advancing methods [Geoff Buesing]
58
59 * Added TimeZone #=~, to support matching zones by regex in time_zone_select. #195 [Ernie Miller]

74
75 * Fixed Date#end_of_quarter to not blow up on May 31st [#289 state:resolved] (Danger)
76
77
78 *2.1.0 (May 31st, 2008)*
79
80 * TimeZone#to_s shows offset as GMT instead of UTC, because GMT will be more familiar to end users (see time zone selects used by Windows OS, google.com and yahoo.com.) Reverts [8370] [Geoff Buesing]
81
82 * Hash.from_xml: datetime xml types overflow to Ruby DateTime class when out of range of Time. Adding tests for utc offsets [Geoff Buesing]
83
84 * TimeWithZone #+ and #- : ensure overflow to DateTime with Numeric arg [Geoff Buesing]
85
86 * Time#to_json: don't convert to utc before encoding. References #175 [Geoff Buesing]
87
88 * Remove unused JSON::RESERVED_WORDS, JSON.valid_identifier? and JSON.reserved_word? methods. Resolves #164. [Cheah Chu Yeow]
89
90 * Adding Date.current, which returns Time.zone.today if config.time_zone is set; otherwise returns Date.today [Geoff Buesing]
91
92 * TimeWithZone: date part getter methods (#year #mon #day etc) are defined on class; no longer relying on method_missing [Geoff Buesing]
93
94 * Time.zone.parse return nil for strings with no date information [Geoff Buesing]
95
96 * Time.zone.parse respects offset information in string. Resolves #105. [Scott Fleckenstein, Geoff Buesing]
97
98 * Added Ruby 1.8 implementation of Process.daemon
99
100 * Duration #since and #ago with no argument (e.g., 5.days.ago) return TimeWithZone when config.time_zone is set. Introducing Time.current, which returns Time.zone.now if config.time_zone is set, otherwise just returns Time.now [Geoff Buesing]
101
102 * Time#since behaves correctly when passed a Duration. Closes #11527 [kemiller]
103
104 * Add #getutc alias for DateTime#utc [Geoff Buesing]
105
106 * Refactor TimeWithZone: don't send #since, #ago, #+, #-, #advance through method_missing [Geoff Buesing]
107
108 * TimeWithZone respects config.active_support.use_standard_json_time_format [Geoff Buesing]
109
110 * Add config.active_support.escape_html_entities_in_json to allow disabling of html entity escaping. [rick]
111
112 * Improve documentation. [Xavier Noria]
113
114 * Modified ActiveSupport::Callbacks::Callback#call to accept multiple arguments.
115
116 * Time #yesterday and #tomorrow behave correctly crossing DST boundary. Closes #7399 [sblackstone]
117
118 * TimeWithZone: Adding tests for dst and leap day edge cases when advancing time [Geoff Buesing]
119
120 * TimeWithZone#method_missing: send to utc to advance with dst correctness, otherwise send to time. Adding tests for time calculations methods [Geoff Buesing]
121
122 * Add config.active_support.use_standard_json_time_format setting so that Times and Dates export to ISO 8601 dates. [rick]
123
124 * TZInfo: Removing unneeded TimezoneProxy class [Geoff Buesing]
125
126 * TZInfo: Removing unneeded TimezoneIndexDefinition, since we're not including Indexes::Timezones [Geoff Buesing]
127
128 * Removing unnecessary uses_tzinfo helper from tests, given that TZInfo is now bundled [Geoff Buesing]
129
130 * Bundling abbreviated version of TZInfo gem 0.3.8: only the classes and zone definitions required to support Rails time zone features are included. If a recent version of the full TZInfo gem is installed, this will take precedence over the bundled version [Geoff Buesing]
131
132 * TimeWithZone#marshal_load does zone lookup via Time.get_zone, so that tzinfo/Olson identifiers are handled [Geoff Buesing]
133
134 * Time.zone= accepts TZInfo::Timezone instances and Olson identifiers; wraps result in TimeZone instance [Geoff Buesing]
135
136 * TimeWithZone time conversions don't need to be wrapped in TimeOrDateTime, because TZInfo does this internally [Geoff Buesing]
137
138 * TimeWithZone#usec returns 0 instead of error when DateTime is wrapped [Geoff Buesing]
139
140 * Improve documentation. [Radar, Jan De Poorter, chuyeow, xaviershay, danger, miloops, Xavier Noria, Sunny Ripert]
141
142 * Ensure that TimeWithZone#to_yaml works when passed a YAML::Emitter. [rick]
143
144 * Ensure correct TimeWithZone#to_date [Geoff Buesing]
145
146 * Make TimeWithZone work with tzinfo 0.2.x: use TZInfo::Timezone#zone_identifier alias for #abbreviation, silence warnings on tests. Raise LoadError when TZInfo version is < 0.2 by sniffing for TZInfo::TimeOrDateTime constant. Move all tzinfo-dependent TimeZone tests into uses_tzinfo block [Geoff Buesing]
147
148 * Time, DateTime and TimeWithZone #in_time_zone defaults to Time.zone. Removing now unneeded #in_current_time_zone [Geoff Buesing]
149
150 * TZInfo caches Timezone instances in its own internal hash cache, so TimeZone::MAPPING doesn't need to cache them as well [Geoff Buesing]
151
152 * Adding TimeZone#parse [Geoff Buesing]
153
154 * Adding TimeZone#at and DateTime#to_f [Geoff Buesing]
155
156 * TimeWithZone responds to Ruby 1.9 weekday-named query methods [Geoff Buesing]
157
158 * TimeWithZone caches TZInfo::TimezonePeriod used for time conversion so that it can be reused, and enforces DST rules correctly when instance is created from a local time [Geoff Buesing]
159
160 * Fixed that BufferedLogger should create its own directory if one doesn't already exist #11285 [lotswholetime]
161
162 * Fix Numeric time tests broken by DST change by anchoring them to fixed times instead of Time.now. Anchor TimeZone#now DST test to time specified with Time.at instead of Time.local to work around platform differences with Time.local and DST representation [Geoff Buesing]
163
164 * Removing unneeded #change_time_zone method from Time, DateTime and TimeWithZone [Geoff Buesing]
165
166 * TimeZone #local and #now correctly enforce DST rules [Geoff Buesing]
167
168 * TimeWithZone instances correctly enforce DST rules. Adding TimeZone#period_for_utc [Geoff Buesing]
169
170 * test_time_with_datetime_fallback expects DateTime.local_offset instead of DateTime.now.offset [Geoff Buesing]
171
172 * Adding TimeWithZone #marshal_dump and #marshal_load [Geoff Buesing]
173
174 * Add OrderedHash#to_hash [josh]
175
176 * Adding Time#end_of_day, _quarter, _week, and _year. #9312 [Juanjo Bazan, Tarmo Tänav, BigTitus]
177
178 * Adding TimeWithZone#between? [Geoff Buesing]
179
180 * Time.=== returns true for TimeWithZone instances [Geoff Buesing]
181
182 * TimeWithZone #+ and #- behave consistently with numeric arguments regardless of whether wrapped time is a Time or DateTime; consistenty answers false to #acts_like?(:date) [Geoff Buesing]
183
184 * Add String#squish and String#squish! to remove consecutive chunks of whitespace. #11123 [jordi, Henrik N]
185
186 * Serialize BigDecimals as Floats when using to_yaml. #8746 [ernesto.jimenez]
187
188 * Adding TimeWithZone #to_yaml, #to_datetime, #eql? and method aliases for duck-typing compatibility with Time [Geoff Buesing]
189
190 * TimeWithZone #in_time_zone returns +self+ if zone argument is the same as #time_zone [Geoff Buesing]
191
192 * Adding TimeWithZone #to_a, #to_f, #to_i, #httpdate, #rfc2822 [Geoff Buesing]
193
194 * Pruning unneeded TimeWithZone#change_time_zone_to_current [Geoff Buesing]
195
196 * Time#zone=, #in_time_zone and #change_time_zone accept a Duration [Geoff Buesing]
197
198 * Time#in_time_zone handles Time.local instances correctly [Geoff Buesing]
199
200 * Pruning unneeded Time#change_time_zone_to_current. Enhanced docs to #change_time_zone to explain the difference between this method and #in_time_zone [Geoff Buesing]
201
202 * TimeZone#new method renamed #local; when used with Time.zone, constructor now reads: Time.zone.local() [Geoff Buesing]
203
204 * Added Base64.encode64s to encode values in base64 without the newlines. This makes the values immediately usable as URL parameters or memcache keys without further processing [DHH]
205
206 * Remove :nodoc: entries around the ActiveSupport test/unit assertions. #10946 [dancroak, jamesh]
207
208 * Add Time.zone_default accessor for setting the default time zone. Rails::Configuration.time_zone sets this. #10982 [Geoff Buesing]
209
210 * cache.fetch(key, :force => true) to force a cache miss. [Jeremy Kemper]
211
212 * Support retrieving TimeZones with a Duration. TimeZone[-28800] == TimeZone[-480.minutes]. [rick]
213
214 * TimeWithZone#- added, so that #- can handle a Time or TimeWithZone argument correctly [Geoff Buesing]
215
216 * with_timezone test helper renamed with_env_tz, to distinguish between setting ENV['TZ'] and setting Time.zone in tests [Geoff Buesing]
217
218 * Time#- coerces TimeWithZone argument to a Time instance so that difference in seconds can be calculated. Closes #10914 [Geoff Buesing, yyyc514]
219
220 * Adding UTC zone to TimeZone; TimeWithZone no longer has to fake UTC zone with nil [Geoff Buesing]
221
222 * Time.get_zone refactored to private method, given that the encapsulated logic is only useful internally [Geoff Buesing]
223
224 * Time.zone uses thread-local variable for thread safety. Adding Time.use_zone, for overriding Time.zone locally inside a block. Removing unneeded Time.zone_reset! [Geoff Buesing]
225
226 * TimeZone#to_s uses UTC rather than GMT; reapplying change that was undone in [8679]. #1689 [Cheah Chu Yeow]
227
228 * Time.days_in_month defaults to current year if no year is supplied as argument #10799 [Radar], uses Date.gregorian_leap? to determine leap year, and uses constant lookup to determine days in month [Geoff Buesing]
229
230 * Adding Time and DateTime #compare_with_coercion, which layers behavior on #<=> so that any combination of Time, DateTime and ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instances can be chronologically compared [Geoff Buesing]
231
232 * TimeZone#now returns an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone [Geoff Buesing]
233
234 * Time #in_current_time_zone and #change_time_zone_to_current return self when Time.zone is nil [Geoff Buesing]
235
236 * Remove unneeded #to_datetime_default_s alias for DateTime#to_s, given that we inherit a #to_default_s from Date that does exactly the same thing [Geoff Buesing]
237
238 * Refactor Time and DateTime #to_formatted_s: use ternary instead of nested if/else [Geoff Buesing]
239
240 * Adding Time and DateTime #formatted_offset, for outputting +HH:MM utc offset strings with cross-platform consistency [Geoff Buesing]
241
242 * Adding alternate_utc_string option to TimeZone#formatted_offset. Removing unneeded TimeZone#offset. [Geoff Buesing]
243
244 * Introduce ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone, for wrapping Time instances with a TimeZone. Introduce instance methods to Time for creating TimeWithZone instances, and class methods for managing a global time zone. [Geoff Buesing]
245
246 * Replace non-dst-aware TimeZone class with dst-aware class from tzinfo_timezone plugin. TimeZone#adjust and #unadjust are no longer available; tzinfo gem must now be present in order to perform time zone calculations, via #local_to_utc and #utc_to_local methods. [Geoff Buesing]
247
248 * Extract ActiveSupport::Callbacks from Active Record, test case setup and teardown, and ActionController::Dispatcher. #10727 [Josh Peek]
249
250 * Introducing DateTime #utc, #utc? and #utc_offset, for duck-typing compatibility with Time. Closes #10002 [Geoff Buesing]
251
252 * Time#to_json uses Numeric#to_utc_offset_s to output a cross-platform-consistent representation without having to convert to DateTime. References #9750 [Geoff Buesing]
253
254 * Refactor number-to-HH:MM-string conversion logic from TimeZone#formatted_offset to a reusable Numeric#to_utc_offset_s method. [Geoff Buesing]
255
256 * Continue evolution toward ActiveSupport::TestCase. #10679 [Josh Peek]
257
258 * TestCase: introduce declared setup and teardown callbacks. Pass a list of methods and an optional block to call before setup or after teardown. Setup callbacks are run in the order declared; teardown callbacks are run in reverse. [Jeremy Kemper]
259
260 * Added ActiveSupport::Gzip.decompress/compress(source) as an easy wrapper for Zlib [Tobias Luetke]
261
262 * Included MemCache-Client to make the improved ActiveSupport::Cache::MemCacheStore work out of the box [Bob Cottrell, Eric Hodel]
263
264 * Added ActiveSupport::Cache::* framework as an extraction from ActionController::Caching::Fragments::* [DHH]
265
266 * Fixed String#titleize to work for strings with 's too #10571 [trek]
267
268 * Changed the implementation of Enumerable#group_by to use a double array approach instead of a hash such that the insert order is honored [DHH/Marcel]
269
270 * remove multiple enumerations from ActiveSupport::JSON#convert_json_to_yaml when dealing with date/time values. [rick]
271
272 * Hash#symbolize_keys skips keys that can't be symbolized. #10500 [Brad Greenlee]
273
274 * Ruby 1.9 compatibility. #1689, #10466, #10468, #10554, #10594, #10632 [Cheah Chu Yeow, Pratik Naik, Jeremy Kemper, Dirkjan Bussink, fxn]
275
276 * TimeZone#to_s uses UTC rather than GMT. #1689 [Cheah Chu Yeow]
277
278 * Refactor of Hash#symbolize_keys! to use Hash#replace. Closes #10420 [ReinH]
279
280 * Fix HashWithIndifferentAccess#to_options! so it doesn't clear the options hash. Closes #10419 [ReinH]
281
282
283 *2.0.1* (December 7th, 2007)
284
285 * Added Array#from and Array#to that behaves just from String#from and String#to [DHH]
286
287 * Fix that empty collections should be treated as empty arrays regardless of whitespace for Hash#from_xml #10255 [adamj]
288
289 * Time#time_with_datetime_fallback, Time#to_datetime, Date#to_datetime and String#to_datetime honor Ruby's default calendar reform setting. #10201 [Geoff Buesing]
290
291 * Change Time and DateTime #end_of_month to return last second of month instead of beginning of last day of month. Closes #10200 [Geoff Buesing]
292
293 * Speedup String#blank? [Jeremy Kemper, Koz]
294
295 * Add documentation for Hash#diff. Closes #9306 [Tarmo Tänav]
296
297 * Add new superclass_delegating_accessors. Similar to class inheritable attributes but with subtly different semantics. [Koz, Tarmo Tänav]
298
299 * Change JSON to encode %w(< > &) as 4 digit hex codes to be in compliance with the JSON spec. Closes #9975 [Josh Peek, Cheah Chu Yeow, Tim Pope]
300
301 * Fix JSON encoding/decoding bugs dealing with /'s. Closes #9990 [Rick, theamazingrando]
302
303 * Introduce a base class for all test cases used by rails applications. ActiveSupport::TestCase [Koz]
304
305 The intention is to use this to reduce the amount of monkeypatching / overriding that
306 is done to test/unit's classes.
307
308 * Document Enumerable and Hash #to_json. #9970 [Cheah Chu Yeow]
309
310 * Hash#to_xml handles symbol values. #9954 [Assaf]
311
312 * Hash#symbolize_keys behaves well with integer keys. #9890 [PotatoSalad]
313
314 * Multibyte: String#slice supports regexp argument. #9646 [yob]
315
316 * object.duplicable? returns true if object.dup is safe. False for nil, true, false, symbols, and numbers; true otherwise. #9333 [sur]
317
318 * Time, Date and DateTime #advance accept :weeks option. #9866 [Geoff Buesing]
319
320 * Fix Time#years_ago and #years_since from leap days. #9865 [Geoff Buesing]
321
322 * Time and DateTime#advance accept :hours, :minutes, and :seconds options. #9825 [Geoff Buesing]
323
324 * Fix Date#years_ago and #years_since from leap days. #9864 [Geoff Buesing]
325
326 * Refactor Time and Date#months_since and #months_ago to use #advance. #9863 [Geoff Buesing]
327
328 * Rebundle Builder 2.1.2 but prefer a newer RubyGem if available. [Jeremy Kemper]
329
330 * Add Range#overlaps?(range), Range#include?(range), and Range#step without a block. [brandon]
331
332 * Correct BufferedLogger#level? checks. #9806 [wildchild, Johan Sorensen]
333
334 * String#to_xs uses Eric Wong's fast_xs extension, if available, for Builder speedup. http://bogomips.org/fast_xs/ [Jeremy Kemper]
335
336 * Introduce BasicObject as Builder::BlankSlate for Ruby 1.9 forward compatibility. [Jeremy Kemper]
337
338 * Unbundle Builder in favor of a gem dependency. [Jeremy Kemper]
339
340 * Disambiguate Time, Date, and DateTime#to_json formatting. #9750 [Geoff Buesing, Cheah Chu Yeow]
341
342 * Hash#to_json takes :only or :except options to specific or omit certain hash keys. Enumerable#to_json passes through its options to each element. #9751 [Cheah Chu Yeow]
343
344 * BufferedLogger#auto_flushing = N flushes the log every N messages. Buffers with an array instead of string. Disabling auto_flushing still flushes when the buffer hits a maximum size, as a failsafe against memory-gobbling. [Jeremy Kemper]
345
346 * Fixed Date#xmlschema for dates outside the range of what can be created with Time #9744 [Geoff Buesing]
347
348 * Fixed that La Paz was included in -25200 and -14400 offsets when it should only be in -14400 #9735 [bermi]
349
350 * Fixed JSON encoding to use quoted keys according to the JSON standard. #8762 [choonkat, Cheah Chu Yeow]
351
352 * Alias Object#send to send! for Ruby 1.9 forward compatibility. [Jeremy Kemper]
353
354 * Backport Object#instance_variable_defined? for Ruby < 1.8.6. [Jeremy Kemper]
355
356 * BufferedLogger#add converts the message to a string. #9702, #9724 [eigentone, DrMark, tomafro]
357
358 * Added ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger as a duck-typing alternative (albeit with no formatter) to the Ruby Logger, which provides a very nice speed bump (inspired by Ezra's buffered logger) [DHH]
359
360 * Object#instance_exec produces fewer garbage methods. [Mauricio Fernandez]
361
362 * Decode json strings as Dates/Times if they're using a YAML-compatible format. Closes #9614 [Rick]
363
364 * Fixed cache_page to use the request url instead of the routing options when picking a save path. #8614 [Josh Peek]
365
366 * Object.subclasses_of includes anonymous subclasses. [Jeremy Kemper]
367
368 * Fixed that pluralizing an empty string should return the same empty string, not "s". #7720 [Josh Peek]
369
370 * Added call to inspect on non-string classes for the logger #8533 [codahale]
371
372 * Deprecation: remove deprecated :mday option from Time, Date, and DateTime#change. [Jeremy Kemper]

374 * Fix JSON decoder with nested quotes and commas. #9579 [zdennis]
375
376 * Hash#to_xml doesn't double-unescape. #8806 [Ezran]
377
378 * Added Array#rand #9170 [Norbert Crombach]. Examples:
379
380 [].rand # => nil
381 ['a'].rand # => 'a'
382 [1,2,3].rand # => 1 or 2 or 3
383
384 * Deprecation: removed Reloadable. [Jeremy Kemper]
385
386 * Make the utf-handler return the correct value for non-matching regular expressions. Closes #9049 [manfred]
387
388 * Add ljust, rjust and center to utf8-handler. Closes #9165 [manfred]
389
390 * Fix Time#advance bug when trying to advance a year from leap day. Closes #8655 [gbuesing]
391
392 * Add support for []= on ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars. Closes #9142. [ewan, manfred]
393
394 * Added Array#extract_options! to encapsulate the pattern of getting an options hash out of a variable number of parameters. #8759 [Norbert Crombach]
395
396 * Let alias_attribute work with attributes with initial capital letters (legacy columns etc). Closes #8596 [mpalmer]

399
400 * Added support for pluralization with a different starting letter than the singular version (cow/kine) #4929 [norri_b/hasmanyjosh]
401

403
404 * Backport clean_logger changes to support ruby 1.8.2 [mislav]
405
406 * Added proper handling of arrays #8537 [hasmanyjosh]
407
408 Before:
409 Hash.from_xml '<images></images>'
410 # => {:images => nil}
411
412 Hash.from_xml '<images><image>foo.jpg</image></images>'
413 # => {:images => {:image => "foo.jpg"}}
414
415 Hash.from_xml '<images><image>foo.jpg</image><image>bar.jpg</image></images>'
416 # => {:images => {:image => ["foo.jpg", "bar.jpg"]}}
417
418 After:
419 Hash.from_xml '<images type="array"></images>'
420 # => {:images => []}
421
422 Hash.from_xml '<images type="array"><image>foo.jpg</image></images>'
423 # => {:images => ["foo.jpg"]}
424
425 Hash.from_xml '<images type="array"><image>foo.jpg</image><image>bar.jpg</image></images>'
426 # => {:images => ["foo.jpg", "bar.jpg"]}
427
428 * Improve Time and Date test coverage. #8646 [Josh Peek]
429
430 * Add Date#since, ago, beginning_of_day, and end_of_day. Date + seconds works now. #8575 [Geoff Buesing]
431
432 * String#to_time overflows to DateTime. Add String#to_datetime. #8572 [Geoff Buesing]
433
434 * Date.yesterday and .tomorrow. #8571 [Geoff Buesing]
435
436 * Readable Date and DateTime#inspect. #8570 [Geoff Buesing]
437
438 * Move common DateTime calculations to Date. #8536 [Geoff Buesing]
439
440 * Added Date#change (like Time#change) [DHH]
441
442 * DateTime#to_time converts to Time unless out of range. #8512 [Geoff Buesing]
443
444 * Date#to_datetime, #to_s(:rfc822). #8512 [Geoff Buesing]
445
446 * Time durations use since instead of + for accuracy. #8513 [Geoff Buesing]
447
448 * escape <'s and >'s in JSON strings. #8371 [Rick]
449
450 * Inflections: MatrixTest -> MatrixTests instead of MatricesTest. #8496 [jbwiv]
451
452 * Multibyte strings respond_to the String methods they proxy so they can be duck-typed. #6549 [Tuxie]
453
454 * Array#to_xml yields the builder just like Hash and ActiveRecord::Base. #8472 [seth]
455
456 * Date, Time, and DateTime support formatting blocks in addition to strftime strings. Introduce :long_ordinal format, e.g. "February 21st, 2005". #8191 [Coda Hale]
457
458 * Document Object#blank?. #6491 [Chris Mear]
459
460 * Date, Time, and DateTime#to_json. #8399 [wycats]
461
462 * Simplify API of assert_difference by passing in an expression that is evaluated before and after the passed in block. See documenation for examples of new API. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
463
464 * Added assert_difference and assert_no_difference to test/unit assertions [Tobias Luetke]
465
466 * Removed breakpointer and Binding.of_caller in favor of relying on ruby-debug by Kent Sibilev since the breakpointer has been broken since Ruby 1.8.4 and will not be coming back [DHH]
467
468 * Added parsing of file type in Hash.xml_in so you can easily do file uploads with base64 from an API [DHH]
469
470 <person>
471 <name>David</name>
472 <avatar type="file" name="me.jpg" content_type="image/jpg">R0lGODlhkACZAPUAAM5lcfjrtMQCG=\n</avatar>
473 </person>
474
475 ...becomes:
476
477 attributes = { :person => { :name => "David", :avatar => #<StringIO> } }
478 attributes[:person][:avatar].content_type # => "image/jpg"
479 attributes[:person][:avatar].original_filename # => "me.jpg"
480 attributes[:person][:avatar].read # => binary data of the file
481
482 Which is duck-type compatible with the files that you get when doing multipart uploads through HTML.
483
484 * Improved multibyte performance by relying less on exception raising #8159 [Blaine]
485
486 * Use XSD-compatible type names for Hash#to_xml and make the converters extendable #8047 [Tim Pope]
487
488 * Added yielding of builder in Hash#to_xml [DHH]
489
490 * Hash#with_indifferent_access now also converts hashes kept in arrays to indifferent access (makes it easier to treat HTML and XML parameters the same) [DHH]
491
492 * Hash#to_xml supports YAML attributes. #7502 [jonathan]
493
494 * Refactor ActiveSupport::JSON to be less obtuse. Add support for JSON decoding by way of Syck with ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(json_string). Prevent hash keys that are JavaScript reserved words from being unquoted during encoding. [Sam Stephenson]
495
496 * alias_method_chain preserves the original method's visibility. #7854 [Jonathan Viney]
497
498 * Update Dependencies to ignore constants inherited from ancestors. Closes #6951. [Nicholas Seckar]
499
500 * Array#to_query preserves its ordering. #7756 [Greg Spurrier]

503
504 * DateTime calculations analogous to the Date and Time extensions. #7693 [Geoff Buesing]
505
506 * Give DateTime correct .to_s implementations, lets it play nice with ActiveRecord quoting. #7649 [Geoff Buesing]
507
508 * Add File.atomic_write, allows you to write large files in an atomic manner, preventing users from seeing half written files. [Koz]
509
510 * Allow users to provide custom formatters to Logger. [aeden]
511
512 * Hash#to_query CGI-escapes its keys. [Jeremy Kemper]
513

515
516 * :db format for Date#to_s [Jeremy Kemper]
517 Date.new(2007, 1, 27).to_s(:db) # => '2007-01-27'
518
519 * Added :instance_writer option to #mattr_writer/accessor, #cattr_writer/accessor, and #class_inheritable_writer to skip the creation of the instance writer. [Rick]
520
521 * Added Hash#to_query to turn a hash of values into a form-encoded query string [Nicholas Seckar]
522
523 * Increase test coverage for subclasses_of. Closes #7335. [Roman2K, Nicholas Seckar]
524

526
527 * Added test coverage for Inflector.inflections.clear. Closes #7179. [Rich Collins]
528
529 * ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Handlers::UTF8Handler should raise when a range and an integer are passed in (just like the native implementation). Closes #7176 [Rich Collins]
530
531 * A couple extra tests for #classify. Closes #7273. [Josh Susser]
532
533 * Better docs for Object extensions [zackchandler, Jamis Buck]
534
535 * Fix that Dates couldn't be subtracted from Dates after [5940]. [Sam Stephenson]
536
537 * Add Object#acts_like? and Time#acts_like_time? and Date#acts_like_date? to facilitate duck-typing. [Jamis Buck]
538
539 * Make 1.months and friends accurate by introducing a Duration class. #6835 [eventualbuddha]
540
541
542 *1.4.2* (March 12th, 2007)
543
544 * Ruby 1.8.6 and 1.9 define private Time#to_date and #to_datetime; make them
545 public for compatibility. [Jeremy Kemper]
546
547 * Deprecation: warn on stderr if RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER isn't set yet. [Jeremy Kemper]
548
549
550 *1.4.1* (February 5th, 2007)
551
552 * Optimize Class Inheritable Attributes so that unnecessary hashes are not created. Closes #7472 [Bruce Perens]
553
554 * Added :instance_writer option to #mattr_writer/accessor, #cattr_writer/accessor, and #class_inheritable_writer to skip the creation of the instance writer. [Rick]
555
556 * Full test coverage for Inflector. #7228 [Dan Kubb]
557
558
559 *1.4.0* (January 16th, 2007)
560
561 * Document Inflector.ordinalize and merge docs from String inflections. #7023 [smeade]
562

564
565 * Fix Dependencies.autoloaded? to ignore anonymous modules. Closes #6561. [Nicholas Seckar]
566
567 * Update load once paths to prevent nested once constants from being detected and claimed by an external non-once load. [Nicholas Seckar]
568
569 * Deprecation: silence warnings when reporting test errors. [Jeremy Kemper]
570
571 * Hash#slice(*keys) returns a new hash with only the given keys. #slice! replaces the hash with only the given keys. Works with HashWithIndifferentAccess also. [Jeremy Kemper]
572
573 * HashWithIndifferentAccess#to_hash converts to a Hash with String keys and the same default value. [Jeremy Kemper]
574
575 * Fix remove_constant to correctly handle constant names of the form "::A::...". References #6720. [Nicholas Seckar]
576
577 * Fixed Array#to_xml when it contains a series of hashes (each piece would get its own XML declaration) #6610 [thkarcher/cyu]
578
579 * Added Time#to_s(:time) which will just return H:M, like 17:44 [DHH]
580
581 * Add Module#attr_accessor_with_default to initialize value of attribute before setting it. Closes #6538. [Stuart Halloway, Marcel Molina Jr.]
582
583 * Hash#to_xml handles keys with the same name as Kernel methods. #6613 [Catfish]
584
585 * Added Time#end_of_day to get 23:59:59 of that day [DHH]
586
587 * Don't quote hash keys in Hash#to_json if they're valid JavaScript identifiers. Disable this with ActiveSupport::JSON.unquote_hash_key_identifiers = false if you need strict JSON compliance. [Sam Stephenson]
588
589 * Lazily load the Unicode Database in the UTF-8 Handler [Rick Olson]
590

596
597 * Update dependencies to allow constants to be defined alongside their siblings. A common case for this is AR model classes with STI; user.rb might define User, Administrator and Guest for example. [Nicholas Seckar]
598
599 * next_week respects DST changes. #6483, #5617, #2353, #2509, #4551 [marclove, rabiedenharn, rails@roetzel.de, jsolson@damogran.org, drbrain@segment7.net]
600
601 * Expose methods added to Enumerable in the documentation, such as group_by. Closes #6170. [sergeykojin@gmail.com, Marcel Molina Jr.]
602
603 * Ensure Chars#tidy_bytes only tidies broken bytes. Closes #6397 [Manfred Stienstra]
604
605 * Add 'unloadable', a method used to mark any constant as requiring an unload after each request. [Nicholas Seckar]
606
607 * Make core_ext/string/access.rb multibyte safe. Closes #6388 [Manfred Stienstra]
608
609 * Make String#chars slicing behaviour consistent with String. Closes #6387 [Manfred Stienstra]
610
611 * Pull in latest multibyte patch. Closes #6346 [Manfred Stienstra]
612
613 * Add ActiveSupport::Multibyte. Provides String#chars which lets you deal with strings as a sequence of chars, not of bytes. Closes #6242 [Julian Tarkhanov, Manfred Stienstra, Thijs van der Vossen & Jan Behrens]
614
615 * Fix issue with #class_inheritable_accessor saving updates to the parent class when initialized with an Array or Hash [mojombo]
616
617 * Hash#to_xml supports Bignum and BigDecimal. #6313 [edibiase]
618
619 * Don't undefine #class in OptionMerger [Rick]
620
621 * Hash.create_from_xml has been renamed to Hash.from_xml, alias will exist until Rails 2.0 [DHH]
622
623 * alias_method_chain works with accessor= methods also. #6153 [Caio Chassot]
624
625 * Fix loadable_constants_for_path to handle load paths that do not end with a slash. [Nicholas Seckar]
626
627 * Fix logic error in determining what was loaded by a given file. Closes #6039. [Nicholas Seckar]
628
629 * Equate Kernel.const_missing with Object.const_missing. Fixes #5988. [Nicholas Seckar]
630
631 * Add ApplicationController special case to Dependencies. [Nicholas Seckar]
632
633 * Don't pad remaining places with in_groups_of if specified padding value is false. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
634
635 * Fix cases where empty xml nodes weren't being translated to nil in Hash.create_from_xml [Rick Olso n]
636
637 <written-on type="date"></written-on> # => { :type => 'date' } # WRONG
638 <written-on type="date"></written-on> # => nil # RIGHT
639
640 * Tighten rescue clauses. #5985 [james@grayproductions.net]
641
642 * Inflections: don't singularize -ies plurals. [foamdino@gmail.com, Mark Van Holstyn]
643
644 * Update Initializer to use load_once_paths to avoid plugin reloading. References #5852. [Nicholas Seckar]
645
646 * Use Array#assoc in ActiveSupport::OrderedHash. [Mauricio Fernandez]
647
648 * Greatly increased performance of String.to_json, which speeds up RJS considerably on large pages, fixes #3473 [Shugo Maeda]
649
650 * Detect missing_constants calls from removed modules and fail accordingly. [Nicholas Seckar]
651
652 * Stop using defined? in Dependencies.qualified_const_defined? since defined? may invoke const_missing. [Nicholas Seckar]
653
654 * Dependencies can autoload directories of nested classes. [Jeremy Kemper]
655 Example:
656 invoice.rb class Invoice
657 invoice/lineitem.rb class Invoice::Lineitem
658
659 * Add Deprecation.silence so that Reloadable does not scold itself. [Nicholas Seckar]
660
661 * Add debugging logging to Dependencies. Currently can be enabled with Dependencies.log_activity = true; adding to Initializer and documenting is forthcoming. [Nicholas Seckar]
662
663 * Replace Reloadable with improvements to the Dependencies mechanism. [Nicholas Seckar]
664
665 * DateTime#to_time gives hour/minute/second resolution. #5747 [jon.evans@pobox.com]
666
667 * attr_internal to support namespacing and deprecation. Like attr_* except backed by internally-named instance variable. Set attr_internal_naming_format to change the format from the default '@_%s'. [Jeremy Kemper]
668 # def foo() @foo__rofl end
669 # def foo=(v) @foo__rofl = v end
670 self.attr_internal_naming_format = '@%s__rofl'
671 attr_internal :foo
672
673 * Raise fully qualified names upon name errors. #5533 [lars@pinds.com, Nicholas Seckar]
674
675 * Add extention to obtain the missing constant from NameError instances. [Nicholas Seckar]
676
677 * Thoroughly document inflections. #5700 [petermichaux@gmail.com]
678
679 * Added Module#alias_attribute [Jamis/DHH]. Example:
680
681 class Content < ActiveRecord::Base
682 # has a title attribute
683 end
684
685 class Email < ActiveRecord::Base
686 alias_attribute :subject, :title
687 end
688
689 e = Email.find(1)
690 e.title # => "Superstars"
691 e.subject # => "Superstars"
692 e.subject? # => true
693 e.subject = "Megastars"
694 e.title # => "Megastars"
695
696 * Deprecation: easier to work with warning behavior as procs; default behaviors for each environment so users needn't update env.rb; and testing pleasure with assert_deprecated, assert_not_deprecated. [Jeremy Kemper]
697 By default, test prints to $stderr, dev logs, production ignores.
698 Provide your own per-environment in e.g. config/environments/development.rb:
699 ActiveSupport::Deprecation.behavior = Proc.new { |message| raise message }
700
701 * First cut of the Rails Deprecation system. [Koz]
702
703 * Strip boolean XML content before checking for 'true' [Rick Olson]
704
705 * Customize default BigDecimal formatting. References #5672 [dave@pragprog.com]
706
707 * Correctly convert <foo nil="true"> to nil when using Hash.create_from_xml. [Rick]
708
709 * Optional identity for Enumerable#sum defaults to zero. #5657 [gensym@mac.com]
710
711 * HashWithIndifferentAccess shouldn't confuse false and nil. #5601 [shugo@ruby-lang.org]
712
713 * Fixed HashWithIndifferentAccess#default #5586 [chris@seagul.co.uk]
714
715 * More compatible Hash.create_from_xml. #5523 [nunemaker@gmail.com]
716
717 * Added Enumerable#sum for calculating a sum from the elements [DHH, jonathan@daikini.com]. Examples:
718
719 [1, 2, 3].sum
720 payments.sum { |p| p.price * p.tax_rate }
721 payments.sum(&:price)
722
723 This is instead of payments.inject(0) { |sum, p| sum + p.price }
724
725 * Correct and clarify Array#to_sentence docs. #5458 [brad@madriska.com]
726
727 * alias_method_chain preserves method punctuation so foo, foo?, and foo! may be chained with the same feature. [Jeremy Kemper]
728 Example:
729 alias_method_chain :save!, :validation
730 is equivalent to
731 alias_method :save_without_validation!, :save!
732 alias_method :save!, :save_with_validation!
733
734 * Enhance Symbol#to_proc so it works with list objects, such as multi-dimensional arrays. Closes #5295 [nov@yo.rim.or.jp]. Example:
735
736 {1 => "one", 2 => "two", 3 => "three"}.sort_by(&:first).map(&:last)
737 #=> ["one", "two", "three"]
738
739 * Added Hash.create_from_xml(string) which will create a hash from a XML string and even typecast if possible [DHH]. Example:
740
741 Hash.create_from_xml <<-EOT
742 <note>
743 <title>This is a note</title>
744 <created-at type="date">2004-10-10</created-at>
745 </note>
746 EOT
747
748 ...would return:
749
750 { :note => { :title => "This is a note", :created_at => Date.new(2004, 10, 10) } }
751
752 * Added Jim Weirich's excellent FlexMock class to vendor (Copyright 2003, 2004 by Jim Weirich (jim@weriichhouse.org)) -- it's not automatically required, though, so require 'flexmock' is still necessary [DHH]
753
754 * Fixed that Module#alias_method_chain should work with both foo? foo! and foo at the same time #4954 [anna@wota.jp]
755
756 * to_xml fixes, features, and speedup: introduce :dasherize option that converts updated_at to updated-at if true (the existing default); binary columns get encoding="base64" attribute; nil values get nil="true" attribute to distinguish empty values; add type information for float columns; allow arbitrarily deep :include; include SQL type information as the type attribute. #4989 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
757
758 * Add OrderedHash#values. [Sam Stephenson]
759
760 * Added Array#to_s(:db) that'll produce a comma-separated list of ids [DHH]. Example:
761
762 Purchase.find(:all, :conditions => "product_id IN (#{shops.products.to_s(:db)})"
763
764 * Normalize classify's argument to a String so that it plays nice with Symbols. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
765
766 * Strip out leading schema name in classify. References #5139. [schoenm@earthlink.net]
767
768 * Remove Enumerable#first_match since break(value) handles the use case well enough. [Nicholas Seckar]
769
770 Enumerable#first_match was like detect, but instead of returning the matching element, the yielded value returned. For example:
771
772 user_xml = adapters(:from => User, :to => Xml).first_match do |adapter|
773 adapter.adapt @user
774 end
775
776 But this is just as easily done with:
777
778 user_xml = adapters(:from => User, :to => Xml).each do
779 break adapter.adapt(@user)
780 end
781
782 * Make Array#in_groups_of just return the grouped collection if a block isn't given. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
783
784 * Don't destroy a HashWithIndifferentAccess if symbolize_keys! or stringify_keys! is called on it. Closes #5076. [Marcel Molina Jr., guy.naor@famundo.com]
785
786 * Document Module::delegate. #5002 [pergesu@gmail.com]
787
788 * Replace alias method chaining with Module#alias_method_chain. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
789
790 * Strip out punctuation on predicates or bang methods being aliased with alias_method_chain since target?_without_feature is not a valid method name. Add tests for Module#alias_method_chain. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
791
792 * Replace Ruby's deprecated append_features in favor of included. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
793
794 * Allow default options in with_options to be overridden. Closes #4480. [murphy@cYcnus.de]
795
796 * Added Module#alias_method_chain [Jamis Buck]
797
798 * Updated to Builder 2.0 [DHH]
799
800 * Add Array#split for dividing arrays into one or more subarrays by value or block. [Sam Stephenson]
801
802 *1.3.1* (April 6th, 2006)
803
804 * Clean paths inside of exception messages and traces. [Nicholas Seckar]
805
806 * Add Pathname.clean_within for cleaning all the paths inside of a string. [Nicholas Seckar]
807
808 * provide an empty Dependencies::LoadingModule.load which prints deprecation warnings. Lets 1.0 applications function with .13-style environment.rb.
809
810
811 *1.3.0* (March 27th, 2006)
812
813 * When possible, avoid incorrectly obtaining constants from parent modules. Fixes #4221. [Nicholas Seckar]
814
815 * Add more tests for dependencies; refactor existing cases. [Nicholas Seckar]
816
817 * Move Module#parent and Module#as_load_path into core_ext. Add Module#parent. [Nicholas Seckar]
818
819 * Add CachingTools::HashCaching to simplify the creation of nested, autofilling hashes. [Nicholas Seckar]
820
821 * Remove a hack intended to avoid unloading the same class twice, but which would not work anyways. [Nicholas Seckar]
822
823 * Update Object.subclasses_of to locate nested classes. This affects Object.remove_subclasses_of in that nested classes will now be unloaded. [Nicholas Seckar]
824
825 * Update Object.remove_subclasses_of to use Class.remove_class, reducing duplication. [Nicholas Seckar]
826
827 * Added Fixnum#seconds for consistency, so you can say 5.minutes + 30.seconds instead of 5.minutes + 30 #4389 [François Beausoleil]
828
829 * Added option to String#camelize to generate lower-cased camel case by passing in :lower, like "super_man".camelize(:lower) # => "superMan" [DHH]
830
831 * Added Hash#diff to show the difference between two hashes [Chris McGrath]
832
833 * Added Time#advance to do precise time time calculations for cases where a month being approximated to 30 days won't do #1860 [Rick Olson]
834
835 * Enhance Inflector.underscore to convert '-' into '_' (as the inverse of Inflector.dasherize) [Jamis Buck]
836
837 * Switched to_xml to use the xml schema format for datetimes. This allows the encoding of time zones and should improve operability. [Koz]
838
839 * Added a note to the documentation for the Date related Numeric extensions to indicate that they're
840 approximations and shouldn't be used for critical calculations. [Koz]
841
842 * Added Hash#to_xml and Array#to_xml that makes it much easier to produce XML from basic structures [DHH]. Examples:
843
844 { :name => "David", :street_name => "Paulina", :age => 26, :moved_on => Date.new(2005, 11, 15) }.to_xml
845
846 ...returns:
847
848 <person>
849 <street-name>Paulina</street-name>
850 <name>David</name>
851 <age type="integer">26</age>
852 <moved-on type="date">2005-11-15</moved-on>
853 </person>
854
855 * Moved Jim Weirich's wonderful Builder from Action Pack to Active Support (it's simply too useful to be stuck in AP) [DHH]
856
857 * Fixed that Array#to_sentence will return "" on an empty array instead of ", and" #3842, #4031 [rubyonrails@beautifulpixel.com]
858
859 * Add Enumerable#group_by for grouping collections based on the result of some
860 block. Useful, for example, for grouping records by date.
861
862 ex.
863
864 latest_transcripts.group_by(&:day).each do |day, transcripts|
865 p "#{day} -> #{transcripts.map(&:class) * ', '}"
866 end
867 "2006-03-01 -> Transcript"
868 "2006-02-28 -> Transcript"
869 "2006-02-27 -> Transcript, Transcript"
870 "2006-02-26 -> Transcript, Transcript"
871
872 Add Array#in_groups_of, for iterating over an array in groups of a certain
873 size.
874
875 ex.
876
877 %w(1 2 3 4 5 6 7).in_groups_of(3) {|g| p g}
878 ["1", "2", "3"]
879 ["4", "5", "6"]
880 ["7", nil, nil]
881
882 [Marcel Molina Jr., Sam Stephenson]
883
884 * Added Kernel#daemonize to turn the current process into a daemon that can be killed with a TERM signal [DHH]
885
886 * Add 'around' methods to Logger, to make it easy to log before and after messages for a given block as requested in #3809. [Michael Koziarski] Example:
887
888 logger.around_info("Start rendering component (#{options.inspect}): ",
889 "\n\nEnd of component rendering") { yield }
890
891 * Added Time#beginning_of_quarter #3607 [cohen.jeff@gmail.com]
892
893 * Fix Object.subclasses_of to only return currently defined objects [Jonathan Viney <jonathan@bluewire.net.nz>]
894
895 * Fix constantize to properly handle names beginning with '::'. [Nicholas Seckar]
896
897 * Make String#last return the string instead of nil when it is shorter than the limit [Scott Barron].
898
899 * Added delegation support to Module that allows multiple delegations at once (unlike Forwardable in the stdlib) [DHH]. Example:
900
901 class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
902 has_one :subscription
903 delegate :free?, :paying?, :to => :subscription
904 delegate :overdue?, :to => "subscription.last_payment"
905 end
906
907 account.free? # => account.subscription.free?
908 account.overdue? # => account.subscription.last_payment.overdue?
909
910 * Fix Reloadable to handle the case where a class that has been 'removed' has not yet been garbage collected. [Nicholas Seckar]
911
912 * Don't allow Reloadable to be included into Modules.
913
914 * Remove LoadingModule. [Nicholas Seckar]
915
916 * Add documentation for Reloadable::Subclasses. [Nicholas Seckar]
917
918 * Add Reloadable::Subclasses which handles the common case where a base class should not be reloaded, but its subclasses should be. [Nicholas Seckar]
919
920 * Further improvements to reloading code [Nicholas Seckar, Trevor Squires]
921
922 - All classes/modules which include Reloadable can define reloadable? for fine grained control of reloading
923 - Class.remove_class uses Module#parent to access the parent module
924 - Class.remove_class expanded to handle multiple classes in a single call
925 - LoadingModule.clear! has been removed as it is no longer required
926 - Module#remove_classes_including has been removed in favor of Reloadable.reloadable_classes
927
928 * Added reusable reloading support through the inclusion of the Relodable module that all subclasses of ActiveRecord::Base, ActiveRecord::Observer, ActiveController::Base, and ActionMailer::Base automatically gets. This means that these classes will be reloaded by the dispatcher when Dependencies.mechanism = :load. You can make your own models reloadable easily:
929
930 class Setting
931 include Reloadable
932 end
933
934 Reloading a class is done by removing its constant which will cause it to be loaded again on the next reference. [DHH]
935
936 * Added auto-loading support for classes in modules, so Conductor::Migration will look for conductor/migration.rb and Conductor::Database::Settings will look for conductor/database/settings.rb [Nicholas Seckar]
937
938 * Add Object#instance_exec, like instance_eval but passes its arguments to the block. (Active Support will not override the Ruby 1.9 implementation of this method.) [Sam Stephenson]
939
940 * Add Proc#bind(object) for changing a proc or block's self by returning a Method bound to the given object. Based on why the lucky stiff's "cloaker" method. [Sam Stephenson]
941
942 * Fix merge and dup for hashes with indifferent access #3404 [kenneth.miller@bitfield.net]
943
944 * Fix the requires in option_merger_test to unbreak AS tests. [Sam Stephenson]
945
946 * Make HashWithIndifferentAccess#update behave like Hash#update by returning the hash. #3419, #3425 [asnem@student.ethz.ch, JanPrill@blauton.de, Marcel Molina Jr.]
947
948 * Add ActiveSupport::JSON and Object#to_json for converting Ruby objects to JSON strings. [Sam Stephenson]
949
950 * Add Object#with_options for DRYing up multiple calls to methods having shared options. [Sam Stephenson] Example:
951
952 ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
953 # Account routes
954 map.with_options(:controller => 'account') do |account|
955 account.home '', :action => 'dashboard'
956 account.signup 'signup', :action => 'new'
957 account.logout 'logout', :action => 'logout'
958 end
959 end
960
961 * Introduce Dependencies.warnings_on_first_load setting. If true, enables warnings on first load of a require_dependency. Otherwise, loads without warnings. Disabled (set to false) by default. [Jeremy Kemper]
962
963 * Active Support is warnings-safe. #1792 [Eric Hodel]
964
965 * Introduce enable_warnings counterpart to silence_warnings. Turn warnings on when loading a file for the first time if Dependencies.mechanism == :load. Common mistakes such as redefined methods will print warnings to stderr. [Jeremy Kemper]
966
967 * Add Symbol#to_proc, which allows for, e.g. [:foo, :bar].map(&:to_s). [Marcel Molina Jr.]
968
969 * Added the following methods [Marcel Molina Jr., Sam Stephenson]:
970 * Object#copy_instance_variables_from(object) to copy instance variables from one object to another
971 * Object#extended_by to get an instance's included/extended modules
972 * Object#extend_with_included_modules_from(object) to extend an instance with the modules from another instance
973
974 *1.2.5* (December 13th, 2005)
975
976 * Become part of Rails 1.0
977
978 * Rename Version constant to VERSION. #2802 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
979
980 *1.2.3* (November 7th, 2005)
981
982 * Change Inflector#constantize to use eval instead of const_get. [Nicholas Seckar]
983
984 * Fix const_missing handler to ignore the trailing '.rb' on files when comparing paths. [Nicholas Seckar]
985
986 * Define kernel.rb methods in "class Object" instead of "module Kernel" to work around a Windows peculiarity [Sam Stephenson]
987
988 * Fix broken tests caused by incomplete loading of active support. [Nicholas Seckar]
989
990 * Fix status pluralization bug so status_codes doesn't get pluralized as statuses_code. #2758 [keithm@infused.org]
991
992 * Added Kernel#silence_stderr to silence stderr for the duration of the given block [Sam Stephenson]
993
994 * Changed Kernel#` to print a message to stderr (like Unix) instead of raising Errno::ENOENT on Win32 [Sam Stephenson]
995
996 * Changed 0.blank? to false rather than true since it violates everyone's expectation of blankness. #2518, #2705 [rails@jeffcole.net]
997
998 * When loading classes using const_missing, raise a NameError if and only if the file we tried to load was not present. [Nicholas Seckar]
999
1000 * Added petabytes and exebytes to numeric extensions #2397 [timct@mac.com]
1001
1002 * Added Time#end_of_month to accompany Time#beginning_of_month #2514 [Jens-Christian Fischer]
1003
1004
1005 *1.2.2* (October 26th, 2005)
1006
1007 * Set Logger.silencer = false to disable Logger#silence. Useful for debugging fixtures.
1008
1009 * Add title case method to String to do, e.g., 'action_web_service'.titlecase # => 'Action Web Service'. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
1010
1011
1012 *1.2.1* (October 19th, 2005)
1013
1014 * Classify generated routing code as framework code to avoid appearing in application traces. [Nicholas Seckar]
1015
1016 * Show all framework frames in the framework trace. [Nicholas Seckar]
1017
1018
1019 *1.2.0* (October 16th, 2005)
1020
1021 * Update Exception extension to show the first few framework frames in an application trace. [Nicholas Seckar]
1022
1023 * Added Exception extension to provide support for clean backtraces. [Nicholas Seckar]
1024
1025 * Updated whiny nil to be more concise and useful. [Nicholas Seckar]
1026
1027 * Added Enumerable#first_match [Nicholas Seckar]
1028
1029 * Fixed that Time#change should also reset usec when also resetting minutes #2459 [ikeda@dream.big.or.jp]
1030
1031 * Fix Logger compatibility for distributions that don't keep Ruby and its standard library in sync.
1032
1033 * Replace '%e' from long and short time formats as Windows does not support it. #2344. [Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>]
1034
1035 * Added to_s(:db) to Range, so you can get "BETWEEN '2005-12-10' AND '2005-12-12'" from Date.new(2005, 12, 10)..Date.new(2005, 12, 12) (and likewise with Times)
1036
1037 * Moved require_library_or_gem into Kernel. #1992 [Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]
1038
1039 * Add :rfc822 as an option for Time#to_s (to get rfc822-formatted times)
1040
1041 * Chain the const_missing hook to any previously existing hook so rails can play nicely with rake
1042
1043 * Clean logger is compatible with both 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 Logger. #2263 [Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]
1044
1045 * Added native, faster implementations of .blank? for the core types #2286 [skae]
1046
1047 * Fixed clean logger to work with Ruby 1.8.3 Logger class #2245
1048
1049 * Fixed memory leak with Active Record classes when Dependencies.mechanism = :load #1704 [c.r.mcgrath@gmail.com]
1050
1051 * Fixed Inflector.underscore for use with acronyms, so HTML becomes html instead of htm_l #2173 [k@v2studio.com]
1052
1053 * Fixed dependencies related infinite recursion bug when a controller file does not contain a controller class. Closes #1760. [rcolli2@tampabay.rr.com]
1054
1055 * Fixed inflections for status, quiz, move #2056 [deirdre@deirdre.net]
1056
1057 * Added Hash#reverse_merge, Hash#reverse_merge!, and Hash#reverse_update to ease the use of default options
1058
1059 * Added Array#to_sentence that'll turn ['one', 'two', 'three'] into "one, two, and three" #2157 [m.stienstra@fngtps.com]
1060
1061 * Added Kernel#silence_warnings to turn off warnings temporarily for the passed block
1062
1063 * Added String#starts_with? and String#ends_with? #2118 [thijs@vandervossen.net]
1064
1065 * Added easy extendability to the inflector through Inflector.inflections (using the Inflector::Inflections singleton class). Examples:
1066
1067 Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
1068 inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, '\1\2en'
1069 inflect.singular /^(ox)en/i, '\1'
1070
1071 inflect.irregular 'octopus', 'octopi'
1072
1073 inflect.uncountable "equipment"
1074 end
1075
1076 * Added String#at, String#from, String#to, String#first, String#last in ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::String::Access to ease access to individual characters and substrings in a string serving basically as human names for range access.
1077
1078 * Make Time#last_month work when invoked on the 31st of a month.
1079
1080 * Add Time.days_in_month, and make Time#next_month work when invoked on the 31st of a month
1081
1082 * Fixed that Time#midnight would have a non-zero usec on some platforms #1836
1083
1084 * Fixed inflections of "index/indices" #1766 [damn_pepe@gmail.com]
1085
1086 * Added stripping of _id to String#humanize, so "employee_id" becomes "Employee" #1574 [Justin French]
1087
1088 * Factor Fixnum and Bignum extensions into Integer extensions [Nicholas Seckar]
1089
1090 * Hooked #ordinalize into Fixnum and Bignum classes. [Nicholas Seckar, danp]
1091
1092 * Added Fixnum#ordinalize to turn 1.ordinalize to "1st", 3.ordinalize to "3rd", and 10.ordinalize to "10th" and so on #1724 [paul@cnt.org]
1093
1094
1095 *1.1.1* (11 July, 2005)
1096
1097 * Added more efficient implementation of the development mode reset of classes #1638 [Chris McGrath]
1098

1102 * Fixed conflict with Glue gem #1606 [Rick Olson]
1103
1104 * Added new rules to the Inflector to deal with more unusual plurals mouse/louse => mice/lice, information => information, ox => oxen, virus => viri, archive => archives #1571, #1583, #1490, #1599, #1608 [foamdino@gmail.com/others]
1105
1106 * Fixed memory leak with Object#remove_subclasses_of, which inflicted a Rails application running in development mode with a ~20KB leak per request #1289 [c.r.mcgrath@gmail.com]
1107
1108 * Made 1.year == 365.25.days to account for leap years. This allows you to do User.find(:all, :conditions => ['birthday > ?', 50.years.ago]) without losing a lot of days. #1488 [tuxie@dekadance.se]
1109
1110 * Added an exception if calling id on nil to WhinyNil #584 [kevin-temp@writesoon.com]
1111
1112 * Added Fix/Bignum#multiple_of? which returns true on 14.multiple_of?(7) and false on 16.multiple_of?(7) #1464 [Thomas Fuchs]
1113
1114 * Added even? and odd? to work with Bignums in addition to Fixnums #1464 [Thomas Fuchs]
1115
1116 * Fixed Time#at_beginning_of_week returned the next Monday instead of the previous one when called on a Sunday #1403 [jean.helou@gmail.com]
1117
1118 * Increased the speed of indifferent hash access by using Hash#default. #1436 [Nicholas Seckar]
1119
1120 * Added that " " is now also blank? (using strip if available)
1121
1122 * Fixed Dependencies so all modules are able to load missing constants #1173 [Nicholas Seckar]
1123
1124 * Fixed the Inflector to underscore strings containing numbers, so Area51Controller becomes area51_controller #1176 [Nicholas Seckar]
1125
1126 * Fixed that HashWithIndifferentAccess stringified all keys including symbols, ints, objects, and arrays #1162 [Nicholas Seckar]
1127
1128 * Fixed Time#last_year to go back in time, not forward #1278 [fabien@odilat.com]
1129
1130 * Fixed the pluralization of analysis to analyses #1295 [seattle@rootimage.msu.edu]
1131
1132 * Fixed that Time.local(2005,12).months_since(1) would raise "ArgumentError: argument out of range" #1311 [jhahn@niveon.com]
1133
1134 * Added silencing to the default Logger class
1135
1136
1137 *1.0.4* (19th April, 2005)
1138
1139 * Fixed that in some circumstances controllers outside of modules may have hidden ones inside modules. For example, admin/content might have been hidden by /content. #1075 [Nicholas Seckar]
1140
1141 * Fixed inflection of perspectives and similar words #1045 [thijs@vandervossen.net]
1142
1143 * Added Fixnum#even? and Fixnum#odd?
1144
1145 * Fixed problem with classes being required twice. Object#const_missing now uses require_dependency to load files. It used to use require_or_load which would cause models to be loaded twice, which was not good for validations and other class methods #971 [Nicholas Seckar]
1146
1147
1148 *1.0.3* (27th March, 2005)
1149
1150 * Fixed Inflector.pluralize to handle capitalized words #932 [Jeremy Kemper]
1151
1152 * Added Object#suppress which allows you to make a saner choice around with exceptions to swallow #980. Example:
1153
1154 suppress(ZeroDivisionError) { 1/0 }
1155
1156 ...instead of:
1157
1158 1/0 rescue nil # BAD, EVIL, DIRTY.
1159
1160
1161 *1.0.2* (22th March, 2005)
1162
1163 * Added Kernel#returning -- a Ruby-ized realization of the K combinator, courtesy of Mikael Brockman.
1164
1165 def foo
1166 returning values = [] do
1167 values << 'bar'
1168 values << 'baz'
1169 end
1170 end
1171
1172 foo # => ['bar', 'baz']
1173
1174
1175 *1.0.1* (7th March, 2005)
1176
1177 * Fixed Hash#indifferent_access to also deal with include? and fetch and nested hashes #726 [Nicholas Seckar]
1178
1179 * Added Object#blank? -- see http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/objectBlank.html #783 [_why the lucky stiff]
1180
1181 * Added inflection rules for "sh" words, like "wish" and "fish" #755 [phillip@pjbsoftware.com]
1182
1183 * Fixed an exception when using Ajax based requests from Safari because Safari appends a \000 to the post body. Symbols can't have \000 in them so indifferent access would throw an exception in the constructor. Indifferent hashes now use strings internally instead. #746 [Tobias Luetke]
1184
1185 * Added String#to_time and String#to_date for wrapping ParseDate
1186
1187
1188 *1.0.0* (24th February, 2005)
1189
1190 * Added TimeZone as the first of a number of value objects that among others Active Record can use rich value objects using composed_of #688 [Jamis Buck]
1191
1192 * Added Date::Conversions for getting dates in different convenient string representations and other objects
1193
1194 * Added Time::Conversions for getting times in different convenient string representations and other objects
1195
1196 * Added Time::Calculations to ask for things like Time.now.tomorrow, Time.now.yesterday, Time.now.months_ago(4) #580 [DP|Flurin]. Examples:
1197
1198 "Later today" => now.in(3.hours),
1199 "Tomorrow morning" => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
1200 "Tomorrow afternoon" => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 14),
1201 "In a couple of days" => now.tomorrow.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
1202 "Next monday" => now.next_week.change(:hour => 9),
1203 "In a month" => now.next_month.change(:hour => 9),
1204 "In 6 months" => now.months_since(6).change(:hour => 9),
1205 "In a year" => now.in(1.year).change(:hour => 9)
1206
1207 * Upgraded to breakpoint 92 which fixes:
1208
1209 * overload IRB.parse_opts(), fixes #443
1210 => breakpoints in tests work even when running them via rake
1211 * untaint handlers, might fix an issue discussed on the Rails ML
1212 * added verbose mode to breakpoint_client
1213 * less noise caused by breakpoint_client by default
1214 * ignored TerminateLineInput exception in signal handler
1215 => quiet exit on Ctrl-C
1216
1217 * Fixed Inflector for words like "news" and "series" that are the same in plural and singular #603 [echion], #615 [marcenuc]
1218
1219 * Added Hash#stringify_keys and Hash#stringify_keys!
1220
1221 * Added IndifferentAccess as a way to wrap a hash by a symbol-based store that also can be accessed by string keys
1222
1223 * Added Inflector.constantize to turn "Admin::User" into a reference for the constant Admin::User
1224
1225 * Added that Inflector.camelize and Inflector.underscore can deal with modules like turning "Admin::User" into "admin/user" and back
1226
1227 * Added Inflector.humanize to turn attribute names like employee_salary into "Employee salary". Used by automated error reporting in AR.
1228
1229 * Added availability of class inheritable attributes to the masses #477 [Jeremy Kemper]
1230
1231 class Foo
1232 class_inheritable_reader :read_me
1233 class_inheritable_writer :write_me
1234 class_inheritable_accessor :read_and_write_me
1235 class_inheritable_array :read_and_concat_me
1236 class_inheritable_hash :read_and_update_me
1237 end
1238
1239 # Bar gets a clone of (not a reference to) Foo's attributes.
1240 class Bar < Foo
1241 end
1242
1243 Bar.read_and_write_me == Foo.read_and_write_me
1244 Bar.read_and_write_me = 'bar'
1245 Bar.read_and_write_me != Foo.read_and_write_me
1246
1247 * Added Inflections as an extension on String, so Inflector.pluralize(Inflector.classify(name)) becomes name.classify.pluralize #476 [Jeremy Kemper]
1248
1249 * Added Byte operations to Numeric, so 5.5.megabytes + 200.kilobytes #461 [Marcel Molina]
1250
1251 * Fixed that Dependencies.reload can't load the same file twice #420 [Kent Sibilev]
1252
1253 * Added Fixnum#ago/until, Fixnum#since/from_now #450 [Jeremy Kemper]
1254
1255 * Added that Inflector now accepts Symbols and Classes by calling .to_s on the word supplied
1256
1257 * Added time unit extensions to Fixnum that'll return the period in seconds, like 2.days + 4.hours.
