=== Compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
+* String#to_i, String#hex and String#oct no longer accept a sequence
+ of underscores (`__') as part of a number.
+
+ # Ruby 1.8.6
+ '1__0'.to_i #=> 10
+ '1__0'.to_i(2) #=> 2 # 0b10
+ '1__0'.oct #=> 8 # 010
+ '1__0'.hex #=> 16 # 0x10
+
+ # Ruby 1.8.7
+ '1__0'.to_i #=> 1
+ '1__0'.to_i(2) #=> 1
+ '1__0'.oct #=> 1
+ '1__0'.hex #=> 1
+
+ The old behavior was inconsistent with Ruby syntax and considered as
+ a bug.
