Note that each entry is kept so brief that no reason behind or
reference information is supplied with. For a full list of changes
with all sufficient information, see the ChangeLog file.

OpenSSL::PKey::EC::Group
OpenSSL::PKey::EC::Point
OpenSSL::PKey::PKCS5
OpenSSL::SSL::Session
* Documentation!
* Various new methods (see documentation).
* Remove redundant module namespace in Cipher, Digest, PKCS7, PKCS12.
Compatibility classes are provided which will be removed in Ruby 1.9.
* tmpdir
* New method:
Dir.mktmpdir
== Changes with Ruby 1.8.5
=== New platforms/build tools support
* IA64 HP-UX
* Visual C++ 8 SP1
* autoconf 2.6x
=== Library updates (outstanding ones only)
* date
* Updated based on date2 4.0.3.
* digest
* New internal APIs for C and Ruby.
* Support for autoloading.
require 'digest'
# autoloads digest/md5
md = Digest::MD5.digest("string")
* See below for new features and compatibility issues.
* nkf
* Updated based on nkf as of 2007-01-28.
* 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, which is slow but considered to be stable, 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.
* date
* Time#to_date and Time#to_datetime are added as private methods.
They cause name conflict error in ActiveSupport 1.4.1 and prior,
which comes with Rails 1.2.2 and prior. Updating ActiveSupport
and/or Rails to the latest versions fixes the problem.
* digest
* The constructor does no longer take an initial string to feed.
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")
* fileutils
* A minor implementation change breaks Rake <=0.7.1.
Updating Rake to 0.7.2 or higher fixes the problem.
