*1.3.1* (April 6th, 2005)
- Clean paths inside of exception messages and traces. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Add Pathname.clean_within for cleaning all the paths inside of a string.
[Nicholas Seckar]
- provide an empty Dependencies::LoadingModule.load which prints deprecation
warnings. Lets 1.0 applications function with .13-style environment.rb.
*1.3.0* (March 27th, 2005)
- When possible, avoid incorrectly obtaining constants from parent modules.
Fixes 4221. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Add more tests for dependencies; refactor existing cases. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Move Module#parent and Module#as_load_path into core_ext. Add
Module#parent. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Add CachingTools::HashCaching to simplify the creation of nested,
autofilling hashes. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Remove a hack intended to avoid unloading the same class twice, but which
would not work anyways. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Update Object.subclasses_of to locate nested classes. This affects
Object.remove_subclasses_of in that nested classes will now be unloaded.
[Nicholas Seckar]
- Update Object.remove_subclasses_of to use Class.remove_class, reducing
duplication. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Added Fixnum#seconds for consistency, so you can say 5.minutes + 30.seconds
instead of 5.minutes + 30 4389 [François Beausoleil]
- Added option to String#camelize to generate lower-cased camel case by
passing in :lower, like "super_man".camelize(:lower) # =>
"superMan" [DHH]
- Added Hash#diff to show the difference between two hashes [Chris McGrath]
- 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]
- Enhance Inflector.underscore
to convert ’-’ into ‘_’ (as the inverse of Inflector.dasherize)
[Jamis Buck]
- Switched to_xml to use the xml schema format for datetimes. This allows the
encoding of time zones and should improve operability. [Koz]
- Added a note to the documentation for the Date related Numeric extensions
to indicate that they’re
approximations and shouldn’t be used for critical calculations. [Koz]
- Added Hash#to_xml and Array#to_xml that makes it much easier to produce XML
from basic structures [DHH]. Examples:
{ :name => "David", :street_name => "Paulina", :age => 26, :moved_on => Date.new(2005, 11, 15) }.to_xml
…returns:
<person>
<street-name>Paulina</street-name>
<name>David</name>
<age type="integer">26</age>
<moved-on type="date">2005-11-15</moved-on>
</person>
- Moved Jim Weirich’s wonderful Builder from Action Pack to Active
Support (it’s simply too useful to be stuck in AP) [DHH]
- Fixed that Array#to_sentence will return "" on an empty array
instead of ", and" 3842, 4031 [rubyonrails@beautifulpixel.com]
- Add Enumerable#group_by for grouping collections based on the result of
some block. Useful, for example, for grouping records by date.
ex.
latest_transcripts.group_by(&:day).each do |day, transcripts|
p "#{day} -> #{transcripts.map(&:class) * ', '}"
end
"2006-03-01 -> Transcript"
"2006-02-28 -> Transcript"
"2006-02-27 -> Transcript, Transcript"
"2006-02-26 -> Transcript, Transcript"
Add Array#in_groups_of, for iterating over an array in groups of a certain
size.
ex.
%w(1 2 3 4 5 6 7).in_groups_of(3) {|g| p g}
["1", "2", "3"]
["4", "5", "6"]
["7", nil, nil]
[Marcel Molina Jr., Sam Stephenson]
- Added Kernel#daemonize to turn the current process into a daemon that can
be killed with a TERM signal [DHH]
- 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:
logger.around_info("Start rendering component (#{options.inspect}):
",
"\n\nEnd of component rendering") { yield }
- Added Time#beginning_of_quarter 3607 [cohen.jeff@gmail.com]
- Fix Object.subclasses_of to only return currently defined objects [Jonathan
Viney <jonathan@bluewire.net.nz>]
- Fix constantize to properly handle names beginning with ’::’.
[Nicholas Seckar]
- Make String#last return the string instead of nil when it is shorter than
the limit [Scott Barron].
- Added delegation support to Module that allows multiple delegations at once
(unlike Forwardable in the stdlib) [DHH]. Example:
class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :subscription
delegate :free?, :paying?, :to => :subscription
delegate :overdue?, :to => "subscription.last_payment"
end
account.free? # => account.subscription.free?
account.overdue? # => account.subscription.last_payment.overdue?
- Fix Reloadable to handle
the case where a class that has been ‘removed’ has not yet been
garbage collected. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Don‘t allow Reloadable to be included
into Modules.
- Remove LoadingModule. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Add documentation for Reloadable::Subclasses.
[Nicholas Seckar]
- Add Reloadable::Subclasses
which handles the common case where a base class should not be reloaded,
but its subclasses should be. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Further improvements to reloading code [Nicholas Seckar, Trevor Squires]
- All classes/modules which include Reloadable can define
reloadable? for fine grained control of reloading
- Class.remove_class uses Module#parent to access the parent module
- Class.remove_class expanded to handle multiple classes in a single call
- LoadingModule.clear! has been removed as it is no longer required
- Module#remove_classes_including has been removed in favor of Reloadable.reloadable_classes
- 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:
class Setting
include Reloadable
end
Reloading a class is done by removing its constant which will cause it to
be loaded again on the next reference. [DHH]
- 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]
- 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]
- 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]
- Fix merge and dup for hashes with indifferent access 3404
[kenneth.miller@bitfield.net]
- Fix the requires in option_merger_test to unbreak AS tests. [Sam
Stephenson]
- Make HashWithIndifferentAccess#update
behave like Hash#update by returning the hash. 3419, 3425
[asnem@student.ethz.ch, JanPrill@blauton.de, Marcel Molina Jr.]
- Add ActiveSupport::JSON and Object#to_json for converting Ruby objects to
JSON strings. [Sam Stephenson]
- Add Object#with_options for DRYing up multiple calls to methods having
shared options. [Sam Stephenson] Example:
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
# Account routes
map.with_options(:controller => 'account') do |account|
account.home '', :action => 'dashboard'
account.signup 'signup', :action => 'new'
account.logout 'logout', :action => 'logout'
end
end
- 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]
- Active Support is warnings-safe. 1792 [Eric Hodel]
- 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]
- Add Symbol#to_proc,
which allows for, e.g. [:foo, :bar].map(&:to_s). [Marcel Molina Jr.]
- Added the following methods [Marcel Molina Jr., Sam Stephenson]:
- Object#copy_instance_variables_from(object) to copy instance variables from
one object to another
- Object#extended_by to get an instance’s included/extended modules
- Object#extend_with_included_modules_from(object) to extend an instance with
the modules from another instance
*1.2.5* (December 13th, 2005)
- Become part of Rails 1.0
- Rename Version constant to VERSION. 2802 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
*1.2.3* (November 7th, 2005)
- Change Inflector#constantize
to use eval instead of const_get. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Fix const_missing handler to ignore the trailing ’.rb’ on files
when comparing paths. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Define kernel.rb methods in "class Object" instead of
"module Kernel" to work around a Windows peculiarity [Sam
Stephenson]
- Fix broken tests caused by incomplete loading of active support. [Nicholas
Seckar]
- Fix status pluralization bug so status_codes doesn’t get pluralized
as statuses_code. 2758 [keithm@infused.org]
- Added Kernel#silence_stderr to silence stderr for the duration of the given
block [Sam Stephenson]
- Changed Kernel#` to print a message to stderr (like Unix) instead of
raising Errno::ENOENT on Win32 [Sam Stephenson]
- Changed 0.blank? to false rather than true since it violates
everyone’s expectation of blankness. 2518, 2705 [rails@jeffcole.net]
- When loading classes using const_missing, raise a NameError if and only if
the file we tried to load was not present. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Added petabytes and exebytes to numeric extensions 2397 [timct@mac.com]
- Added Time#end_of_month to accompany Time#beginning_of_month 2514
[Jens-Christian Fischer]
*1.2.2* (October 26th, 2005)
- Set Logger.silencer = false to disable Logger#silence. Useful for debugging
fixtures.
- Add title case method to String to do, e.g.,
‘action_web_service’.titlecase # => ‘Action Web
Service’. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
*1.2.1* (October 19th, 2005)
- Classify generated routing code as framework code to avoid appearing in
application traces. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Show all framework frames in the framework trace. [Nicholas Seckar]
*1.2.0* (October 16th, 2005)
- Update Exception extension to show the first few framework frames in an
application trace. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Added Exception extension to provide support for clean backtraces.
[Nicholas Seckar]
- Updated whiny nil to be more concise and useful. [Nicholas Seckar]
- Added Enumerable#first_match [Nicholas Seckar]
- Fixed that Time#change should also reset usec when also resetting minutes
2459 [ikeda@dream.big.or.jp]
- Fix Logger compatibility for distributions that don’t keep Ruby and
its standard library in sync.
- Replace ’%e’ from long and short time formats as Windows does
not support it. 2344. [Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>]
- 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)
- Moved require_library_or_gem into Kernel. 1992 [Michael Schuerig
<michael@schuerig.de>]
- Add :rfc822 as an option for Time#to_s (to get rfc822-formatted times)
- Chain the const_missing hook to any previously existing hook so rails can
play nicely with rake
- Clean logger is compatible with both 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 Logger. 2263 [Michael
Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]
- Added native, faster implementations of .blank? for the core types 2286
[skae]
- Fixed clean logger to work with Ruby 1.8.3 Logger class 2245
- Fixed memory leak with Active Record classes when Dependencies.mechanism =
:load 1704 [c.r.mcgrath@gmail.com]
- Fixed Inflector.underscore
for use with acronyms, so HTML becomes html instead of htm_l 2173
[k@v2studio.com]
- Fixed dependencies related infinite recursion bug when a controller file
does not contain a controller class. Closes 1760. [rcolli2@tampabay.rr.com]
- Fixed inflections for status, quiz, move 2056 [deirdre@deirdre.net]
- Added Hash#reverse_merge, Hash#reverse_merge!, and Hash#reverse_update to
ease the use of default options
- Added Array#to_sentence that’ll turn [‘one’,
‘two’, ‘three’] into "one, two, and
three" 2157 [m.stienstra@fngtps.com]
- Added Kernel#silence_warnings to turn off warnings temporarily for the
passed block
- Added String#starts_with? and String#ends_with? 2118
[thijs@vandervossen.net]
- Added easy extendability to the inflector through Inflector.inflections
(using the Inflector::Inflections
singleton class). Examples:
Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, '\1\2en'
inflect.singular /^(ox)en/i, '\1'
inflect.irregular 'octopus', 'octopi'
inflect.uncountable "equipment"
end
- 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.
- Make Time#last_month work when invoked on the 31st of a month.
- Add Time.days_in_month, and make Time#next_month work when invoked on the
31st of a month
- Fixed that Time#midnight would have a non-zero usec on some platforms 1836
- Fixed inflections of "index/indices" 1766 [damn_pepe@gmail.com]
- Added stripping of _id to String#humanize, so "employee_id"
becomes "Employee" 1574 [Justin French]
- Factor Fixnum and Bignum extensions into Integer extensions [Nicholas
Seckar]
- Hooked ordinalize into Fixnum and Bignum classes. [Nicholas Seckar, danp]
- 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]
*1.1.1* (11 July, 2005)
- Added more efficient implementation of the development mode reset of
classes 1638 [Chris McGrath]
*1.1.0* (6 July, 2005)
- Fixed conflict with Glue gem 1606 [Rick Olson]
- 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]
- 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]
- 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]
- Added an exception if calling id on nil to WhinyNil 584
[kevin-temp@writesoon.com]
- Added Fix/Bignum#multiple_of? which returns true on 14.multiple_of?(7) and
false on 16.multiple_of?(7) 1464 [Thomas Fuchs]
- Added even? and odd? to work with Bignums in addition to Fixnums 1464
[Thomas Fuchs]
- 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]
- Increased the speed of indifferent hash access by using Hash#default. 1436
[Nicholas Seckar]
- Added that " " is now also blank? (using strip if available)
- Fixed Dependencies so all modules are able to load missing constants 1173
[Nicholas Seckar]
- Fixed the Inflector to
underscore strings containing numbers, so Area51Controller becomes
area51_controller 1176 [Nicholas Seckar]
- Fixed that HashWithIndifferentAccess
stringified all keys including symbols, ints, objects, and arrays 1162
[Nicholas Seckar]
- Fixed Time#last_year to go back in time, not forward 1278
[fabien@odilat.com]
- Fixed the pluralization of analysis to analyses 1295
[seattle@rootimage.msu.edu]
- Fixed that Time.local(2005,12).months_since(1) would raise
"ArgumentError: argument out of range" 1311 [jhahn@niveon.com]
- Added silencing to the default Logger class
*1.0.4* (19th April, 2005)
- 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]
- Fixed inflection of perspectives and similar words 1045
[thijs@vandervossen.net]
- Added Fixnum#even? and Fixnum#odd?
- 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]
*1.0.3* (27th March, 2005)
- Fixed Inflector.pluralize
to handle capitalized words 932 [Jeremy Kemper]
- Added Object#suppress which allows you to make a saner choice around with
exceptions to swallow 980. Example:
suppress(ZeroDivisionError) { 1/0 }
…instead of:
1/0 rescue nil # BAD, EVIL, DIRTY.
*1.0.2* (22th March, 2005)
*1.0.1* (7th March, 2005)
- Fixed Hash#indifferent_access to also deal with include? and fetch and
nested hashes 726 [Nicholas Seckar]
- Added Object#blank? — see redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/objectBlank.html
783 [_why the lucky stiff]
- Added inflection rules for "sh" words, like "wish" and
"fish" 755 [phillip@pjbsoftware.com]
- 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]
- Added String#to_time and String#to_date for wrapping ParseDate
*1.0.0* (24th February, 2005)
- 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]
- Added Date::Conversions for getting dates in different convenient string
representations and other objects
- Added Time::Conversions for getting times in different convenient string
representations and other objects
- Added Time::Calculations to ask for things like Time.now.tomorrow,
Time.now.yesterday, Time.now.months_ago(4) 580 [DP|Flurin]. Examples:
"Later today" => now.in(3.hours),
"Tomorrow morning" => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
"Tomorrow afternoon" => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 14),
"In a couple of days" => now.tomorrow.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
"Next monday" => now.next_week.change(:hour => 9),
"In a month" => now.next_month.change(:hour => 9),
"In 6 months" => now.months_since(6).change(:hour => 9),
"In a year" => now.in(1.year).change(:hour => 9)
- Upgraded to breakpoint 92 which fixes:
* overload IRB.parse_opts(), fixes #443
=> breakpoints in tests work even when running them via rake
* untaint handlers, might fix an issue discussed on the Rails ML
* added verbose mode to breakpoint_client
* less noise caused by breakpoint_client by default
* ignored TerminateLineInput exception in signal handler
=> quiet exit on Ctrl-C
- Fixed Inflector for words
like "news" and "series" that are the same in plural
and singular 603 [echion], 615 [marcenuc]
- Added Hash#stringify_keys and Hash#stringify_keys!
- Added IndifferentAccess as a way to wrap a hash by a symbol-based store
that also can be accessed by string keys
- Added Inflector.constantize
to turn "Admin::User" into a reference for the constant
Admin::User
- Added that Inflector.camelize
and Inflector.underscore
can deal with modules like turning "Admin::User" into
"admin/user" and back
- Added Inflector.humanize to
turn attribute names like employee_salary into "Employee salary".
Used by automated error reporting in AR.
- Added availability of class inheritable attributes to the masses 477
[Jeremy Kemper]
class Foo
class_inheritable_reader :read_me
class_inheritable_writer :write_me
class_inheritable_accessor :read_and_write_me
class_inheritable_array :read_and_concat_me
class_inheritable_hash :read_and_update_me
end
# Bar gets a clone of (not a reference to) Foo's attributes.
class Bar < Foo
end
Bar.read_and_write_me == Foo.read_and_write_me
Bar.read_and_write_me = 'bar'
Bar.read_and_write_me != Foo.read_and_write_me
- Added Inflections as an extension on String, so Inflector.pluralize(Inflector.classify(name))
becomes name.classify.pluralize 476 [Jeremy Kemper]
- Added Byte operations to Numeric, so 5.5.megabytes + 200.kilobytes 461
[Marcel Molina]
- Fixed that Dependencies.reload can’t load the same file twice 420
[Kent Sibilev]
- Added Fixnum#ago/until, Fixnum#since/from_now 450 [Jeremy Kemper]
- Added that Inflector now
accepts Symbols and Classes by calling .to_s on the word supplied
- Added time unit extensions to Fixnum that’ll return the period in
seconds, like 2.days + 4.hours.
