* Fix remove_constant to correctly handle constant names of the form "::A::...". References #6720. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fixed Array#to_xml when it contains a series of hashes (each piece would get its own XML declaration) #6610 [thkarcher/cyu]
* Hash#to_xml handles keys with the same name as Kernel methods. #6613 [Catfish]
* Don't quote hash keys in Hash#to_json if they're valid JavaScript identifiers. Disable this with ActiveSupport::JSON.unquote_hash_key_identifiers = false if you need strict JSON compliance. [Sam Stephenson]
* Lazily load the Unicode Database in the UTF-8 Handler [Rick Olson]

* Fix unicode JSON regexp for Onigurama compatibility. #6494 [whitley]
* Update XmlSimple to 1.0.10. Closes #6532. [nicksieger]
* Update dependencies to allow constants to be defined alongside their siblings. A common case for this is AR model classes with STI; user.rb might define User, Administrator and Guest for example. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Add 'unloadable', a method used to mark any constant as requiring an unload after each request. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Make core_ext/string/access.rb multibyte safe. Closes #6388 [Manfred Stienstra]
* Make String#chars slicing behaviour consistent with String. Closes #6387 [Manfred Stienstra]
* Pull in latest multibye patch. Closes #6346 [Manfred Stienstra]

* Inflections: don't singularize -ies plurals. [foamdino@gmail.com, Mark Van Holstyn]
* Update Initializer to use load_once_paths to avoid plugin reloading. References #5852. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Use Array#assoc in ActiveSupport::OrderedHash. [Mauricio Fernandez]
* Greatly increased performance of String.to_json, which speeds up RJS considerably on large pages, fixes #3473 [Shugo Maeda]
* Detect missing_constants calls from removed modules and fail accordingly. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Stop using defined? in Dependencies.qualified_const_defined? since defined? may invoke const_missing. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Dependencies can autoload directories of nested classes. [Jeremy Kemper]
Example:
invoice.rb class Invoice
invoice/lineitem.rb class Invoice::Lineitem
* Add Deprecation.silence so that Reloadable does not scold itself. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Add debugging logging to Dependencies. Currently can be enabled with Dependencies.log_activity = true; adding to Initializer and documenting is forthcoming. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Replace Reloadable with improvements to the Dependencies mechanism. [Nicholas Seckar]
* attr_internal to support namespacing and deprecation. Like attr_* except backed by internally-named instance variable. Set attr_internal_naming_format to change the format from the default '@_%s'. [Jeremy Kemper]
# def foo() @foo__rofl end
# def foo=(v) @foo__rofl = v end
self.attr_internal_naming_format = '@%s__rofl'
attr_internal :foo
* Raise fully qualified names upon name errors. #5533 [lars@pinds.com, Nicholas Seckar]
* Add extention to obtain the missing constant from NameError instances. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Deprecation: easier to work with warning behavior as procs; default behaviors for each environment so users needn't update env.rb; and testing pleasure with assert_deprecated, assert_not_deprecated. [Jeremy Kemper]
By default, test prints to $stderr, dev logs, production ignores.
Provide your own per-environment in e.g. config/environments/development.rb:
* Added Hash.create_from_xml(string) which will create a hash from a XML string and even typecast if possible [DHH]. Example:
Hash.create_from_xml <<-EOT
<note>
<title>This is a note</title>
<created-at type="date">2004-10-10</created-at>
</note>
EOT
...would return:
{ :note => { :title => "This is a note", :created_at => Date.new(2004, 10, 10) } }
* Added Jim Weirich's excellent FlexMock class to vendor (Copyright 2003, 2004 by Jim Weirich (jim@weriichhouse.org)) -- it's not automatically required, though, so require 'flexmock' is still necessary [DHH]
* Fixed that Module#alias_method_chain should work with both foo? foo! and foo at the same time #4954 [anna@wota.jp]
* to_xml fixes, features, and speedup: introduce :dasherize option that converts updated_at to updated-at if true (the existing default); binary columns get encoding="base64" attribute; nil values get nil="true" attribute to distinguish empty values; add type information for float columns; allow arbitrarily deep :include; include SQL type information as the type attribute. #4989 [Blair Zajac <blair@orcaware.com>]
* Add OrderedHash#values. [Sam Stephenson]
* Added Array#to_s(:db) that'll produce a comma-separated list of ids [DHH]. Example:
Purchase.find(:all, :conditions => "product_id IN (#{shops.products.to_s(:db)})"
* Normalize classify's argument to a String so that it plays nice with Symbols. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
* Strip out leading schema name in classify. References #5139. [schoenm@earthlink.net]
* Remove Enumerable#first_match since break(value) handles the use case well enough. [Nicholas Seckar]
Enumerable#first_match was like detect, but instead of returning the matching element, the yielded value returned. For example:
user_xml = adapters(:from => User, :to => Xml).first_match do |adapter|
adapter.adapt @user
end
But this is just as easily done with:
user_xml = adapters(:from => User, :to => Xml).each do
break adapter.adapt(@user)
end
* Make Array#in_groups_of just return the grouped collection if a block isn't given. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
* Don't destroy a HashWithIndifferentAccess if symbolize_keys! or stringify_keys! is called on it. Closes #5076. [Marcel Molina Jr., guy.naor@famundo.com]
* Replace alias method chaining with Module#alias_method_chain. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
* Strip out punctuation on predicates or bang methods being aliased with alias_method_chain since target?_without_feature is not a valid method name. Add tests for Module#alias_method_chain. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
* Replace Ruby's deprecated append_features in favor of included. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
* Allow default options in with_options to be overridden. Closes #4480. [murphy@cYcnus.de]
* Added Module#alias_method_chain [Jamis Buck]
* Updated to Builder 2.0 [DHH]
* Add Array#split for dividing arrays into one or more subarrays by value or block. [Sam Stephenson]
* When possible, avoid incorrectly obtaining constants from parent modules. Fixes #4221. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Add more tests for dependencies; refactor existing cases. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Move Module#parent and Module#as_load_path into core_ext. Add Module#parent. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Add CachingTools::HashCaching to simplify the creation of nested, autofilling hashes. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Remove a hack intended to avoid unloading the same class twice, but which would not work anyways. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Update Object.subclasses_of to locate nested classes. This affects Object.remove_subclasses_of in that nested classes will now be unloaded. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Update Object.remove_subclasses_of to use Class.remove_class, reducing duplication. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Added Fixnum#seconds for consistency, so you can say 5.minutes + 30.seconds instead of 5.minutes + 30 #4389 [François Beausoleil]
* Added option to String#camelize to generate lower-cased camel case by passing in :lower, like "super_man".camelize(:lower) # => "superMan" [DHH]
* Added Hash#diff to show the difference between two hashes [Chris McGrath]
* Added Time#advance to do precise time time calculations for cases where a month being approximated to 30 days won't do #1860 [Rick Olson]
* Enhance Inflector.underscore to convert '-' into '_' (as the inverse of Inflector.dasherize) [Jamis Buck]
* Switched to_xml to use the xml schema format for datetimes. This allows the encoding of time zones and should improve operability. [Koz]
* Added a note to the documentation for the Date related Numeric extensions to indicate that they're
approximations and shouldn't be used for critical calculations. [Koz]
* Added Hash#to_xml and Array#to_xml that makes it much easier to produce XML from basic structures [DHH]. Examples:
* Moved Jim Weirich's wonderful Builder from Action Pack to Active Support (it's simply too useful to be stuck in AP) [DHH]
* Fixed that Array#to_sentence will return "" on an empty array instead of ", and" #3842, #4031 [rubyonrails@beautifulpixel.com]
* Add Enumerable#group_by for grouping collections based on the result of some
block. Useful, for example, for grouping records by date.
ex.
latest_transcripts.group_by(&:day).each do |day, transcripts|
p "#{day} -> #{transcripts.map(&:class) * ', '}"
end
"2006-03-01 -> Transcript"
"2006-02-28 -> Transcript"
"2006-02-27 -> Transcript, Transcript"
"2006-02-26 -> Transcript, Transcript"
Add Array#in_groups_of, for iterating over an array in groups of a certain
size.
ex.
%w(1 2 3 4 5 6 7).in_groups_of(3) {|g| p g}
["1", "2", "3"]
["4", "5", "6"]
["7", nil, nil]
[Marcel Molina Jr., Sam Stephenson]
* Added Kernel#daemonize to turn the current process into a daemon that can be killed with a TERM signal [DHH]
* Add 'around' methods to Logger, to make it easy to log before and after messages for a given block as requested in #3809. [Michael Koziarski] Example:
* Fix Reloadable to handle the case where a class that has been 'removed' has not yet been garbage collected. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Don't allow Reloadable to be included into Modules.
* Remove LoadingModule. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Add documentation for Reloadable::Subclasses. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Add Reloadable::Subclasses which handles the common case where a base class should not be reloaded, but its subclasses should be. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Further improvements to reloading code [Nicholas Seckar, Trevor Squires]
- All classes/modules which include Reloadable can define reloadable? for fine grained control of reloading
- Class.remove_class uses Module#parent to access the parent module
- Class.remove_class expanded to handle multiple classes in a single call
- LoadingModule.clear! has been removed as it is no longer required
- Module#remove_classes_including has been removed in favor of Reloadable.reloadable_classes
* Added reusable reloading support through the inclusion of the Relodable module that all subclasses of ActiveRecord::Base, ActiveRecord::Observer, ActiveController::Base, and ActionMailer::Base automatically gets. This means that these classes will be reloaded by the dispatcher when Dependencies.mechanism = :load. You can make your own models reloadable easily:
class Setting
include Reloadable
end
Reloading a class is done by removing its constant which will cause it to be loaded again on the next reference. [DHH]
* Added auto-loading support for classes in modules, so Conductor::Migration will look for conductor/migration.rb and Conductor::Database::Settings will look for conductor/database/settings.rb [Nicholas Seckar]
* Add Object#instance_exec, like instance_eval but passes its arguments to the block. (Active Support will not override the Ruby 1.9 implementation of this method.) [Sam Stephenson]
* Add Proc#bind(object) for changing a proc or block's self by returning a Method bound to the given object. Based on why the lucky stiff's "cloaker" method. [Sam Stephenson]
* Fix merge and dup for hashes with indifferent access #3404 [kenneth.miller@bitfield.net]
* Fix the requires in option_merger_test to unbreak AS tests. [Sam Stephenson]
* Make HashWithIndifferentAccess#update behave like Hash#update by returning the hash. #3419, #3425 [asnem@student.ethz.ch, JanPrill@blauton.de, Marcel Molina Jr.]
* Add ActiveSupport::JSON and Object#to_json for converting Ruby objects to JSON strings. [Sam Stephenson]
* Add Object#with_options for DRYing up multiple calls to methods having shared options. [Sam Stephenson] Example:
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
# Account routes
map.with_options(:controller => 'account') do |account|
account.home '', :action => 'dashboard'
account.signup 'signup', :action => 'new'
account.logout 'logout', :action => 'logout'
end
end
* Introduce Dependencies.warnings_on_first_load setting. If true, enables warnings on first load of a require_dependency. Otherwise, loads without warnings. Disabled (set to false) by default. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Active Support is warnings-safe. #1792 [Eric Hodel]
* Introduce enable_warnings counterpart to silence_warnings. Turn warnings on when loading a file for the first time if Dependencies.mechanism == :load. Common mistakes such as redefined methods will print warnings to stderr. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Add Symbol#to_proc, which allows for, e.g. [:foo, :bar].map(&:to_s). [Marcel Molina Jr.]
* Added the following methods [Marcel Molina Jr., Sam Stephenson]:
* Object#copy_instance_variables_from(object) to copy instance variables from one object to another
* Object#extended_by to get an instance's included/extended modules
* Object#extend_with_included_modules_from(object) to extend an instance with the modules from another instance
*1.2.5* (December 13th, 2005)
* Become part of Rails 1.0
* Rename Version constant to VERSION. #2802 [Marcel Molina Jr.]
*1.2.3* (November 7th, 2005)
* Change Inflector#constantize to use eval instead of const_get. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fix const_missing handler to ignore the trailing '.rb' on files when comparing paths. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Define kernel.rb methods in "class Object" instead of "module Kernel" to work around a Windows peculiarity [Sam Stephenson]
* Fix broken tests caused by incomplete loading of active support. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fix status pluralization bug so status_codes doesn't get pluralized as statuses_code. #2758 [keithm@infused.org]
* Added Kernel#silence_stderr to silence stderr for the duration of the given block [Sam Stephenson]
* Changed Kernel#` to print a message to stderr (like Unix) instead of raising Errno::ENOENT on Win32 [Sam Stephenson]
* Changed 0.blank? to false rather than true since it violates everyone's expectation of blankness. #2518, #2705 [rails@jeffcole.net]
* When loading classes using const_missing, raise a NameError if and only if the file we tried to load was not present. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Added petabytes and exebytes to numeric extensions #2397 [timct@mac.com]
* Added Time#end_of_month to accompany Time#beginning_of_month #2514 [Jens-Christian Fischer]
*1.2.2* (October 26th, 2005)
* Set Logger.silencer = false to disable Logger#silence. Useful for debugging fixtures.
* Add title case method to String to do, e.g., 'action_web_service'.titlecase # => 'Action Web Service'. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
*1.2.1* (October 19th, 2005)
* Classify generated routing code as framework code to avoid appearing in application traces. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Show all framework frames in the framework trace. [Nicholas Seckar]
*1.2.0* (October 16th, 2005)
* Update Exception extension to show the first few framework frames in an application trace. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Added Exception extension to provide support for clean backtraces. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Updated whiny nil to be more concise and useful. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Added Enumerable#first_match [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fixed that Time#change should also reset usec when also resetting minutes #2459 [ikeda@dream.big.or.jp]
* Fix Logger compatibility for distributions that don't keep Ruby and its standard library in sync.
* Replace '%e' from long and short time formats as Windows does not support it. #2344. [Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>]
* Added to_s(:db) to Range, so you can get "BETWEEN '2005-12-10' AND '2005-12-12'" from Date.new(2005, 12, 10)..Date.new(2005, 12, 12) (and likewise with Times)
* Moved require_library_or_gem into Kernel. #1992 [Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]
* Add :rfc822 as an option for Time#to_s (to get rfc822-formatted times)
* Chain the const_missing hook to any previously existing hook so rails can play nicely with rake
* Clean logger is compatible with both 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 Logger. #2263 [Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]
* Added native, faster implementations of .blank? for the core types #2286 [skae]
* Fixed clean logger to work with Ruby 1.8.3 Logger class #2245
* Fixed memory leak with Active Record classes when Dependencies.mechanism = :load #1704 [c.r.mcgrath@gmail.com]
* Fixed Inflector.underscore for use with acronyms, so HTML becomes html instead of htm_l #2173 [k@v2studio.com]
* Fixed dependencies related infinite recursion bug when a controller file does not contain a controller class. Closes #1760. [rcolli2@tampabay.rr.com]
* Fixed inflections for status, quiz, move #2056 [deirdre@deirdre.net]
* Added Hash#reverse_merge, Hash#reverse_merge!, and Hash#reverse_update to ease the use of default options
* Added Array#to_sentence that'll turn ['one', 'two', 'three'] into "one, two, and three" #2157 [m.stienstra@fngtps.com]
* Added Kernel#silence_warnings to turn off warnings temporarily for the passed block
* Added String#starts_with? and String#ends_with? #2118 [thijs@vandervossen.net]
* Added easy extendability to the inflector through Inflector.inflections (using the Inflector::Inflections singleton class). Examples:
Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, '\1\2en'
inflect.singular /^(ox)en/i, '\1'
inflect.irregular 'octopus', 'octopi'
inflect.uncountable "equipment"
end
* Added String#at, String#from, String#to, String#first, String#last in ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::String::Access to ease access to individual characters and substrings in a string serving basically as human names for range access.
* Make Time#last_month work when invoked on the 31st of a month.
* Add Time.days_in_month, and make Time#next_month work when invoked on the 31st of a month
* Fixed that Time#midnight would have a non-zero usec on some platforms #1836
* Fixed inflections of "index/indices" #1766 [damn_pepe@gmail.com]
* Added stripping of _id to String#humanize, so "employee_id" becomes "Employee" #1574 [Justin French]
* Factor Fixnum and Bignum extensions into Integer extensions [Nicholas Seckar]
* Hooked #ordinalize into Fixnum and Bignum classes. [Nicholas Seckar, danp]
* Added Fixnum#ordinalize to turn 1.ordinalize to "1st", 3.ordinalize to "3rd", and 10.ordinalize to "10th" and so on #1724 [paul@cnt.org]
*1.1.1* (11 July, 2005)
* Added more efficient implementation of the development mode reset of classes #1638 [Chris McGrath]
*1.1.0* (6 July, 2005)
* Fixed conflict with Glue gem #1606 [Rick Olson]
* Added new rules to the Inflector to deal with more unusual plurals mouse/louse => mice/lice, information => information, ox => oxen, virus => viri, archive => archives #1571, #1583, #1490, #1599, #1608 [foamdino@gmail.com/others]
* Fixed memory leak with Object#remove_subclasses_of, which inflicted a Rails application running in development mode with a ~20KB leak per request #1289 [c.r.mcgrath@gmail.com]
* Made 1.year == 365.25.days to account for leap years. This allows you to do User.find(:all, :conditions => ['birthday > ?', 50.years.ago]) without losing a lot of days. #1488 [tuxie@dekadance.se]
* Added an exception if calling id on nil to WhinyNil #584 [kevin-temp@writesoon.com]
* Added Fix/Bignum#multiple_of? which returns true on 14.multiple_of?(7) and false on 16.multiple_of?(7) #1464 [Thomas Fuchs]
* Added even? and odd? to work with Bignums in addition to Fixnums #1464 [Thomas Fuchs]
* Fixed Time#at_beginning_of_week returned the next Monday instead of the previous one when called on a Sunday #1403 [jean.helou@gmail.com]
* Increased the speed of indifferent hash access by using Hash#default. #1436 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Added that " " is now also blank? (using strip if available)
* Fixed Dependencies so all modules are able to load missing constants #1173 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fixed the Inflector to underscore strings containing numbers, so Area51Controller becomes area51_controller #1176 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fixed that HashWithIndifferentAccess stringified all keys including symbols, ints, objects, and arrays #1162 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fixed Time#last_year to go back in time, not forward #1278 [fabien@odilat.com]
* Fixed the pluralization of analysis to analyses #1295 [seattle@rootimage.msu.edu]
* Fixed that Time.local(2005,12).months_since(1) would raise "ArgumentError: argument out of range" #1311 [jhahn@niveon.com]
* Added silencing to the default Logger class
*1.0.4* (19th April, 2005)
* Fixed that in some circumstances controllers outside of modules may have hidden ones inside modules. For example, admin/content might have been hidden by /content. #1075 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fixed inflection of perspectives and similar words #1045 [thijs@vandervossen.net]
* Added Fixnum#even? and Fixnum#odd?
* Fixed problem with classes being required twice. Object#const_missing now uses require_dependency to load files. It used to use require_or_load which would cause models to be loaded twice, which was not good for validations and other class methods #971 [Nicholas Seckar]
*1.0.3* (27th March, 2005)
* Fixed Inflector.pluralize to handle capitalized words #932 [Jeremy Kemper]
* Added Object#suppress which allows you to make a saner choice around with exceptions to swallow #980. Example:
suppress(ZeroDivisionError) { 1/0 }
...instead of:
1/0 rescue nil # BAD, EVIL, DIRTY.
*1.0.2* (22th March, 2005)
* Added Kernel#returning -- a Ruby-ized realization of the K combinator, courtesy of Mikael Brockman.
def foo
returning values = [] do
values << 'bar'
values << 'baz'
end
end
foo # => ['bar', 'baz']
*1.0.1* (7th March, 2005)
* Fixed Hash#indifferent_access to also deal with include? and fetch and nested hashes #726 [Nicholas Seckar]
* Added Object#blank? -- see http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/objectBlank.html #783 [_why the lucky stiff]
* Added inflection rules for "sh" words, like "wish" and "fish" #755 [phillip@pjbsoftware.com]
* Fixed an exception when using Ajax based requests from Safari because Safari appends a \000 to the post body. Symbols can't have \000 in them so indifferent access would throw an exception in the constructor. Indifferent hashes now use strings internally instead. #746 [Tobias Luetke]
* Added String#to_time and String#to_date for wrapping ParseDate
*1.0.0* (24th February, 2005)
* Added TimeZone as the first of a number of value objects that among others Active Record can use rich value objects using composed_of #688 [Jamis Buck]
* Added Date::Conversions for getting dates in different convenient string representations and other objects
* Added Time::Conversions for getting times in different convenient string representations and other objects
* Added Time::Calculations to ask for things like Time.now.tomorrow, Time.now.yesterday, Time.now.months_ago(4) #580 [DP|Flurin]. Examples:
