=== 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 2.0.0
-
- 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.
-
