[Feature #8923] - -* Hash literal - * Symbol key followed by a colon can be quoted. [Feature #4276] - -* default argument - fixed a very longstanding bug that an optional argument was not - accessible in its default value expression. [Bug #9593] - -=== Core classes updates (outstanding ones only) - -* Binding - * New methods: - * Binding#local_variables - * Binding#receiver - -* Dir - * New methods: - * Dir#fileno - -* Enumerable - * New methods: - * Enumerable#slice_after - * Enumerable#slice_when - * Extended methods: - * min, min_by, max and max_by supports optional argument to return - multiple elements. - -* Float - * New methods: - * Float#next_float - * Float#prev_float - -* File - * New methods: - * File.birthtime - * File#birthtime - -* File::Stat - * New methods: - * File::Stat#birthtime - -* GC - * GC.latest_gc_info returns :state to represent current GC status. - * Improvements - * Introduce incremental marking for major GC. [Feature #10137] - -* IO - * Improvements - * IO#nonblock_read and IO#nonblock_write for pipes on Windows are supported. - -* Kernel - * New methods: - * Kernel#itself - * Improvements - * Kernel#throw raises UncaughtThrowError, subclass of ArgumentError when - there is no corresponding catch block, instead of ArgumentError. - -* Process - * Extended method: - * Process execution methods such as Process.spawn opens the file in write - mode for redirect from [:out, :err]. - -* String - * New methods: - * String#unicode_normalize - * String#unicode_normalize! - * String#unicode_normalized? - -* Symbol - * Improvements - * Most symbols which are returned by String#to_sym and - String#intern are GC-able. - -* Method - * New methods: - * Method#curry([arity]) returns a curried Proc. - * Method#super_method returns a Method of superclass, which would be called - when super is used. - -=== Core classes compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes) - -* Enumerable - * Enumerable#slice_before's state management deprecated. - * Enumerable#chunk's state management deprecated. - -* GC - * incompatible changes: - * Rename GC.stat entries. [Feature #9924] - See https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11Ua4uBr6o0k-nORrZLEIIUkHJ9JRzRR0NyZfrhEEnc8/edit?usp=sharing - -* Hash - * incompatible changes: - * Change overriding policy for duplicated key. [Bug #10315] - { **hash1, **hash2 } contains values of hash2 for duplicated keys. - -* IO - * incompatible changes: - * When flushing file IO with IO#flush, you cannot assume that the metadata - of the file is updated immediately. On some platforms (especially - Windows), it is delayed until the filesystem load is decreased. - Use IO#fsync if you want to guarantee updating metadata. - * IO#each_codepoint raises an exception at incomplete character - before EOF when conversion takes place. [Bug #11444] - -* Math - * incompatible changes: - * Math.log now raises Math::DomainError instead of returning NaN if the - base is less than 0, and returns NaN instead of -infinity if both of - two arguments are 0. - * Math.atan2 now returns values like as expected by C99 if both two - arguments are infinity. - -* Proc - * incompatible changes: - * ArgumentError is no longer raised when lambda Proc is passed as a - block, and the number of yielded arguments does not match the formal - arguments of the lambda, if just an array is yielded and its length - matches. - -* Process - * Process execution methods such as Process.spawn opens the file in write - mode for redirect from [:out, :err]. - Before Ruby 2.2, it was opened in read mode. - -=== Stdlib updates (outstanding ones only) - -* Continuation - * callcc is obsolete. use Fiber instead. - -* Digest - - * Digest() should now be thread-safe.

Use OpenSSL::HMAC or an external gem instead. - -* time.rb - * Time.parse, Time.strptime, Time.rfc2822, Time.xmlschema may produce - fixed-offset Time objects. - It is happen when usual localtime doesn't preserve the offset from UTC. - * Time.httpdate produces always UTC Time object. - * Time.strptime raises ArgumentError when no date information. - -* lib/rational.rb - * Removed because it is deprecated from 2009. - -* lib/complex.rb - * Removed because it is deprecated from 2009. - -* lib/prettyprint.rb - * Removed PrettyPrint#first? - -* lib/minitest/*.rb - * Removed because it conflicts to minitest 5.

[Feature #9502] - - Check_SafeStr -> SafeStringValue - rb_check_safe_str -> SafeStringValue - rb_quad_pack -> rb_integer_pack - rb_quad_unpack -> rb_integer_unpack - rb_read_check : access struct FILE internal. no replacement. - rb_struct_iv_get : internal function. no replacement. - struct rb_blocking_region_buffer : internal type. no replacement. - rb_thread_blocking_region_begin -> rb_thread_call_without_gvl family - rb_thread_blocking_region_end -> rb_thread_call_without_gvl family - TRAP_BEG -> rb_thread_call_without_gvl family - TRAP_END -> rb_thread_call_without_gvl family - rb_thread_select -> rb_thread_fd_select - struct rb_exec_arg : internal type. no replacement. - rb_exec : internal function. no replacement. - rb_exec_arg_addopt : internal function. no replacement. - rb_exec_arg_fixup : internal function. no replacement. - rb_exec_arg_init : internal function. no replacement. - rb_exec_err : internal function. no replacement. - rb_fork : internal function. no replacement. - rb_fork_err : internal function. no replacement. - rb_proc_exec_n : internal function. no replacement. - rb_run_exec_options : internal function. no replacement. - rb_run_exec_options_err : internal function. no replacement. - rb_thread_blocking_region -> rb_thread_call_without_gvl family - rb_thread_polling -> rb_thread_wait_for - rb_big2str0 : internal function. no replacement. - rb_big2ulong_pack -> rb_integer_pack - rb_gc_set_params : internal function. no replacement. - rb_io_mode_flags -> rb_io_modestr_fmode - rb_io_modenum_flags -> rb_io_oflags_fmode - -* struct RBignum is hidden. [Feature #6083] - Use rb_integer_pack and rb_integer_unpack instead. - -* struct RRational is hidden. [Feature #9513] - Use rb_rational_num and rb_rational_den instead. - -* rb_big_new and rb_big_resize takes a size_t instead of long. - -* rb_num2long returns a long instead of SIGNED_VALUE. - -* rb_num2ulong returns an unsigned long instead of VALUE. - -* st hash table uses power-of-two sizes for speed [Feature #9425]. - Lookups are 10-25% faster if using appropriate hash functions. - However, weaknesses in hash distribution can no longer be masked - by prime number-sized tables, so extensions may need to tweak - hash functions to ensure good distribution. - -* rb_sym2str() added. This is almost same as `rb_id2str(SYM2ID(sym))` - but not pinning a dynamic symbol. - -* rb_str_cat_cstr() added. This is same as `rb_str_cat2()`. - -* `rb_str_substr()` and `rb_str_subseq()` will share middle of a string, - but not only the end of a string, in the future. Therefore, result - strings may not be NUL-terminated, `StringValueCStr()` is needed - calling to obtain a NUL-terminated C string. - -* rb_tracepoint_new() supports new internal events accessible only from C: - * RUBY_INTERNAL_EVENT_GC_ENTER - * RUBY_INTERNAL_EVENT_GC_EXIT - r47528 - -* rb_hash_delete() now does not call the block given to the current method. - -* rb_extract_keywords() and rb_get_kwargs() exported. See README.EXT - for details. - -=== Build system updates - -* jemalloc is optionally supported via `./configure --with-jemalloc` - jemalloc may be suitable when system malloc is slow or prone - to fragmentation. [Feature #9113] - -=== Implementation changes - -* GC - * Most symbols which are returned by String#to_sym and - String#intern are GC-able [Feature #9634] - * Introduce incremental marking for major GC. [Feature #10137] - * Enable lazy sweep on GC caused by malloc(). - -* VM - * Use frozen string literals for Hash#[] and Hash#[]= - * Fast keyword arguments passing [Feature #10440] - * Allow to receive huge splatted array by a rest argument - [Feature #10440] - -* Process - * Process creation methods, such as spawn(), uses vfork() system call. - vfork() is faster than fork() when the parent process uses huge memory. |
