+
+* nkf

+
+* tk
+
+  * Tk::X_Scrollable (Y_Scrollable) is renamed to Tk::XScrollable
+    (YScrollable). Tk::X_Scrollable (Y_Scrollable) is still available,
+    but it is an alias name.
+
+  * Updated Tile extension support based on Tile 0.7.8.
+
+  * Support --without-X11 configure option for non-X11 versions of
+    Tcl/Tk (e.g. Tcl/Tk Aqua).
+
+  * New sample script: irbtkw.rbw -- IRB on Ruby/Tk. It has no trouble
+    about STDIN blocking on Windows.
+
+=== New methods and features
+
+* builtin classes
+
+  * New method: Kernel#instance_variable_defined?
+
+  * New method: Module#class_variable_defined?
+
+  * New feature: Dir::glob() can now take an array of glob patterns.
+
+* digest
+
+  * New digest class methods: file
+
+  * New digest instance methods: clone, reset, new,
+    inspect, digest_length (alias size or length),
+    block_length()
+
+  * New library: digest/bubblebabble
+
+  * New function: Digest(name)
+
+* fileutils
+
+  * New option for FileUtils.cp_r(): :remove_destination
+
+* thread
+
+  * Replaced with much faster mutex implementation in C.
+    The former implementation is available with a
+    configure option `--disable-fastthread'.
+
+* webrick
+
+  * New method: WEBrick::Cookie.parse_set_cookies()
+
+=== Compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
+
+* builtin classes
+
+  * String#intern now raises SecurityError when $SAFE level is greater
+    than zero.
+
+* fileutils
+
+  * A minor implementation change breaks Rake <=0.7.1.
+    Updating Rake to 0.7.2 fixes the problem.
+
+* digest
+
+  * The constructor does no longer take an initial
+    string to feed; digest() and hexdigest() now do,
+    instead.  The following examples show how to
+    migrate:
+
+      # Before
+      md = Digest::MD5.new("string")
+      # After (works with any version)
+      md = Digest::MD5.new.update("string")
+        
+      # Before
+      hd = Digest::MD5.new("string").hexdigest
+      # After (works with any version)
+      hd = Digest::MD5.hexdigest("string")
