* HTML safety: fix compatibility with the optional rails_xss plugin. [Nathan Weizenbaum, Santiago Pastorino]
*2.3.6 (May 23, 2010)*
* 1.9 compat: deprecated last_(month|year) in favor of prev_(month|year). [fxn]
* Deprecated Array#rand in favor of Array#random_element. [Santiago Pastorino, Rizwan Reza]
* Added Object#presence that returns the object if it's #present? otherwise returns nil [DHH/Colin Kelley]
* New assertions assert_blank and assert_present. #4299 [Juanjo Bazan]
* Use Object#singleton_class instead of #metaclass. Prefer Ruby's choice. [Jeremy Kemper]
* JSON backend for YAJL. Preferred if available. #2666 [Brian Lopez]
* Introduce String#html_safe for rails_xss plugin and forward-compatibility with Rails 3. [Michael Koziarski, Santiago Pastorino, José Ignacio Costa]
* Time#- with a DateTime argument behaves the same as with a Time argument, i.e. returns the difference between self and arg as a Float #3476 [Geoff Buesing]
* YAML serialization for OrderedHash. #3608 [Gregor Schmidt]
* Add Enumerable#exclude? to bring parity to Enumerable#include? and avoid if !x.include?/else calls [DHH]
* JSON: +Object#to_json+ calls +as_json+ to coerce itself into something natively encodable like +Hash+, +Integer+, or +String+. Override +as_json+ instead of +to_json+ so you're JSON-library-agnostic. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Allow MemCacheStore to be initialized with a MemCache-like object instead of addresses and options [Bryan Helmkamp]
* Time#to_s(:rfc822) uses #formatted_offset instead of unreliable and non-standard %z directive #1899 [Zachary Zolton]
* Make TimeWithZone#to_formatted_s an alias to TimeWithZone#to_s #1796 [Levin Alexander]
* Introduce Array.wrap(foo) to wrap the argument in an array unless it's already an array. Wraps nil as an empty array. Use instead of Array(foo) and foo.to_a since they treat String as Enumerable. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Object#tap shim for Ruby < 1.8.7. Similar to Object#returning, tap yields self then returns self. [Jeremy Kemper]
array.select { ... }.tap(&:inspect).map { ... }
* TimeWithZone#- gives correct result with wrapped DateTime, and with DateTime argument [Geoff Buesing]
* Updated i18n gem to version 0.1.1 #1635 [Yaroslav Markin]
* Add :allow_nil option to delegate. #1127 [Sergio Gil]
* Add Benchmark.ms convenience method to benchmark realtime in milliseconds. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Updated included memcache-client to the 1.5.0.5 version which includes fixes from fiveruns and 37signals to deal with failover and timeouts #1535 [Joshua Sierles]
* Multibyte: add multibyte-safe Chars#ord rather than falling back to String#ord. #1483 [Jason Cheow]
* I18n support for Array#to_sentence. Introduces support.array.words_connector, .two_words_connector, and .last_word_connector translation keys. #1397 [Akira Matsuda]
* Added ActiveSupport::OrderedHash#each_key and ActiveSupport::OrderedHash#each_value #1410 [Christoffer Sawicki]
* Added ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier and MessageEncryptor to aid users who need to store signed and/or encrypted messages. [Michael Koziarski]
* Added ActiveSupport::BacktraceCleaner to cut down on backtrace noise according to filters and silencers [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Added Object#try. ( Taken from http://ozmm.org/posts/try.html ) [Chris Wanstrath]
* Added Enumerable#none? to check that none of the elements match the block #1408 [Damian Janowski]
* Fix Ruby's Time marshaling bug in pre-1.9 versions of Ruby: utc instances are now correctly unmarshaled with a utc zone instead of the system local zone [#900 state:resolved] [Luca Guidi, Geoff Buesing]
* Add Array#in_groups which splits or iterates over the array in specified number of groups. #579. [Adrian Mugnolo] Example:
* Fix TimeWithZone unmarshaling: coerce unmarshaled Time instances to utc, because Ruby's marshaling of Time instances doesn't respect the zone [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone: when crossing DST boundary, treat Durations of days, months or years as variable-length, and all other values as absolute length. A time + 24.hours will advance exactly 24 hours, but a time + 1.day will advance 23-25 hours, depending on the day. Ensure consistent behavior across all advancing methods [Geoff Buesing]
* Added TimeZone #=~, to support matching zones by regex in time_zone_select. #195 [Ernie Miller]
* Added Array#second through Array#fifth as aliases for Array#[1] through Array#[4] + Array#forty_two as alias for Array[41] [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Added StringInquirer for doing things like StringInquirer.new("production").production? # => true and StringInquirer.new("production").development? # => false [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* TimeZone#to_s shows offset as GMT instead of UTC, because GMT will be more familiar to end users (see time zone selects used by Windows OS, google.com and yahoo.com.) Reverts [8370] [Geoff Buesing]
* Hash.from_xml: datetime xml types overflow to Ruby DateTime class when out of range of Time. Adding tests for utc offsets [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone #+ and #- : ensure overflow to DateTime with Numeric arg [Geoff Buesing]
* Time#to_json: don't convert to utc before encoding. References #175 [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding Date.current, which returns Time.zone.today if config.time_zone is set; otherwise returns Date.today [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone: date part getter methods (#year #mon #day etc) are defined on class; no longer relying on method_missing [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.zone.parse return nil for strings with no date information [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.zone.parse respects offset information in string. Resolves #105. [Scott Fleckenstein, Geoff Buesing]
* Added Ruby 1.8 implementation of Process.daemon
* Duration #since and #ago with no argument (e.g., 5.days.ago) return TimeWithZone when config.time_zone is set. Introducing Time.current, which returns Time.zone.now if config.time_zone is set, otherwise just returns Time.now [Geoff Buesing]
* Time#since behaves correctly when passed a Duration. Closes #11527 [kemiller]
* Add #getutc alias for DateTime#utc [Geoff Buesing]
* Modified ActiveSupport::Callbacks::Callback#call to accept multiple arguments.
* Time #yesterday and #tomorrow behave correctly crossing DST boundary. Closes #7399 [sblackstone]
* TimeWithZone: Adding tests for dst and leap day edge cases when advancing time [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone#method_missing: send to utc to advance with dst correctness, otherwise send to time. Adding tests for time calculations methods [Geoff Buesing]
* TZInfo: Removing unneeded TimezoneProxy class [Geoff Buesing]
* TZInfo: Removing unneeded TimezoneIndexDefinition, since we're not including Indexes::Timezones [Geoff Buesing]
* Removing unnecessary uses_tzinfo helper from tests, given that TZInfo is now bundled [Geoff Buesing]
* Bundling abbreviated version of TZInfo gem 0.3.8: only the classes and zone definitions required to support Rails time zone features are included. If a recent version of the full TZInfo gem is installed, this will take precedence over the bundled version [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone#marshal_load does zone lookup via Time.get_zone, so that tzinfo/Olson identifiers are handled [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.zone= accepts TZInfo::Timezone instances and Olson identifiers; wraps result in TimeZone instance [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone time conversions don't need to be wrapped in TimeOrDateTime, because TZInfo does this internally [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone#usec returns 0 instead of error when DateTime is wrapped [Geoff Buesing]
* Make TimeWithZone work with tzinfo 0.2.x: use TZInfo::Timezone#zone_identifier alias for #abbreviation, silence warnings on tests. Raise LoadError when TZInfo version is < 0.2 by sniffing for TZInfo::TimeOrDateTime constant. Move all tzinfo-dependent TimeZone tests into uses_tzinfo block [Geoff Buesing]
* Time, DateTime and TimeWithZone #in_time_zone defaults to Time.zone. Removing now unneeded #in_current_time_zone [Geoff Buesing]
* TZInfo caches Timezone instances in its own internal hash cache, so TimeZone::MAPPING doesn't need to cache them as well [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding TimeZone#parse [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding TimeZone#at and DateTime#to_f [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone caches TZInfo::TimezonePeriod used for time conversion so that it can be reused, and enforces DST rules correctly when instance is created from a local time [Geoff Buesing]
* Fixed that BufferedLogger should create its own directory if one doesn't already exist #11285 [lotswholetime]
* Fix Numeric time tests broken by DST change by anchoring them to fixed times instead of Time.now. Anchor TimeZone#now DST test to time specified with Time.at instead of Time.local to work around platform differences with Time.local and DST representation [Geoff Buesing]
* Removing unneeded #change_time_zone method from Time, DateTime and TimeWithZone [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding Time#end_of_day, _quarter, _week, and _year. #9312 [Juanjo Bazan, Tarmo Tänav, BigTitus]
* Adding TimeWithZone#between? [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.=== returns true for TimeWithZone instances [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeWithZone #+ and #- behave consistently with numeric arguments regardless of whether wrapped time is a Time or DateTime; consistenty answers false to #acts_like?(:date) [Geoff Buesing]
* Pruning unneeded Time#change_time_zone_to_current. Enhanced docs to #change_time_zone to explain the difference between this method and #in_time_zone [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeZone#new method renamed #local; when used with Time.zone, constructor now reads: Time.zone.local() [Geoff Buesing]
* Added Base64.encode64s to encode values in base64 without the newlines. This makes the values immediately usable as URL parameters or memcache keys without further processing [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* TimeWithZone#- added, so that #- can handle a Time or TimeWithZone argument correctly [Geoff Buesing]
* with_timezone test helper renamed with_env_tz, to distinguish between setting ENV['TZ'] and setting Time.zone in tests [Geoff Buesing]
* Time#- coerces TimeWithZone argument to a Time instance so that difference in seconds can be calculated. Closes #10914 [Geoff Buesing, yyyc514]
* Adding UTC zone to TimeZone; TimeWithZone no longer has to fake UTC zone with nil [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.get_zone refactored to private method, given that the encapsulated logic is only useful internally [Geoff Buesing]
* Time.zone uses thread-local variable for thread safety. Adding Time.use_zone, for overriding Time.zone locally inside a block. Removing unneeded Time.zone_reset! [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeZone#to_s uses UTC rather than GMT; reapplying change that was undone in [8679]. #1689 [Cheah Chu Yeow]
* Time.days_in_month defaults to current year if no year is supplied as argument #10799 [Radar], uses Date.gregorian_leap? to determine leap year, and uses constant lookup to determine days in month [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding Time and DateTime #compare_with_coercion, which layers behavior on #<=> so that any combination of Time, DateTime and ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instances can be chronologically compared [Geoff Buesing]
* TimeZone#now returns an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone [Geoff Buesing]
* Time #in_current_time_zone and #change_time_zone_to_current return self when Time.zone is nil [Geoff Buesing]
* Remove unneeded #to_datetime_default_s alias for DateTime#to_s, given that we inherit a #to_default_s from Date that does exactly the same thing [Geoff Buesing]
* Refactor Time and DateTime #to_formatted_s: use ternary instead of nested if/else [Geoff Buesing]
* Adding Time and DateTime #formatted_offset, for outputting +HH:MM utc offset strings with cross-platform consistency [Geoff Buesing]
* Introduce ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone, for wrapping Time instances with a TimeZone. Introduce instance methods to Time for creating TimeWithZone instances, and class methods for managing a global time zone. [Geoff Buesing]
* Replace non-dst-aware TimeZone class with dst-aware class from tzinfo_timezone plugin. TimeZone#adjust and #unadjust are no longer available; tzinfo gem must now be present in order to perform time zone calculations, via #local_to_utc and #utc_to_local methods. [Geoff Buesing]
* Extract ActiveSupport::Callbacks from Active Record, test case setup and teardown, and ActionController::Dispatcher. #10727 [Josh Peek]
* Introducing DateTime #utc, #utc? and #utc_offset, for duck-typing compatibility with Time. Closes #10002 [Geoff Buesing]
* Time#to_json uses Numeric#to_utc_offset_s to output a cross-platform-consistent representation without having to convert to DateTime. References #9750 [Geoff Buesing]
* Refactor number-to-HH:MM-string conversion logic from TimeZone#formatted_offset to a reusable Numeric#to_utc_offset_s method. [Geoff Buesing]
* TestCase: introduce declared setup and teardown callbacks. Pass a list of methods and an optional block to call before setup or after teardown. Setup callbacks are run in the order declared; teardown callbacks are run in reverse. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Changed the implementation of Enumerable#group_by to use a double array approach instead of a hash such that the insert order is honored [David Heinemeier Hansson/Marcel Molina Jr.]
* Add new superclass_delegating_accessors. Similar to class inheritable attributes but with subtly different semantics. [Michael Koziarski, Tarmo Tänav]
* object.duplicable? returns true if object.dup is safe. False for nil, true, false, symbols, and numbers; true otherwise. #9333 [sur]
* Time, Date and DateTime #advance accept :weeks option. #9866 [Geoff Buesing]
* Fix Time#years_ago and #years_since from leap days. #9865 [Geoff Buesing]
* Time and DateTime#advance accept :hours, :minutes, and :seconds options. #9825 [Geoff Buesing]
* Fix Date#years_ago and #years_since from leap days. #9864 [Geoff Buesing]
* Refactor Time and Date#months_since and #months_ago to use #advance. #9863 [Geoff Buesing]
* Rebundle Builder 2.1.2 but prefer a newer RubyGem if available. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Add Range#overlaps?(range), Range#include?(range), and Range#step without a block. [brandon]
* Correct BufferedLogger#level? checks. #9806 [wildchild, Johan Sorensen]
* String#to_xs uses Eric Wong's fast_xs extension, if available, for Builder speedup. http://bogomips.org/fast_xs/ [Jeremy Kemper]
* Introduce BasicObject as Builder::BlankSlate for Ruby 1.9 forward compatibility. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Unbundle Builder in favor of a gem dependency. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Disambiguate Time, Date, and DateTime#to_json formatting. #9750 [Geoff Buesing, Cheah Chu Yeow]
* Hash#to_json takes :only or :except options to specific or omit certain hash keys. Enumerable#to_json passes through its options to each element. #9751 [Cheah Chu Yeow]
* BufferedLogger#auto_flushing = N flushes the log every N messages. Buffers with an array instead of string. Disabling auto_flushing still flushes when the buffer hits a maximum size, as a failsafe against memory-gobbling. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Fixed Date#xmlschema for dates outside the range of what can be created with Time #9744 [Geoff Buesing]
* Fixed that La Paz was included in -25200 and -14400 offsets when it should only be in -14400 #9735 [bermi]
* Fixed JSON encoding to use quoted keys according to the JSON standard. #8762 [choonkat, Cheah Chu Yeow]
* Alias Object#send to send! for Ruby 1.9 forward compatibility. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Backport Object#instance_variable_defined? for Ruby < 1.8.6. [Jeremy Kemper]
* Added ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger as a duck-typing alternative (albeit with no formatter) to the Ruby Logger, which provides a very nice speed bump (inspired by Ezra's buffered logger) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Inflections: MatrixTest -> MatrixTests instead of MatricesTest. #8496 [jbwiv]
* Multibyte strings respond_to the String methods they proxy so they can be duck-typed. #6549 [Tuxie]
* Array#to_xml yields the builder just like Hash and ActiveRecord::Base. #8472 [seth]
* Date, Time, and DateTime support formatting blocks in addition to strftime strings. Introduce :long_ordinal format, e.g. "February 21st, 2005". #8191 [Coda Hale]
* Date, Time, and DateTime#to_json. #8399 [wycats]
* Simplify API of assert_difference by passing in an expression that is evaluated before and after the passed in block. See documenation for examples of new API. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
* Removed breakpointer and Binding.of_caller in favor of relying on ruby-debug by Kent Sibilev since the breakpointer has been broken since Ruby 1.8.4 and will not be coming back [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Hash#with_indifferent_access now also converts hashes kept in arrays to indifferent access (makes it easier to treat HTML and XML parameters the same) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Refactor ActiveSupport::JSON to be less obtuse. Add support for JSON decoding by way of Syck with ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(json_string). Prevent hash keys that are JavaScript reserved words from being unquoted during encoding. [Sam Stephenson]
* alias_method_chain preserves the original method's visibility. #7854 [Jonathan Viney]
* Update Dependencies to ignore constants inherited from ancestors. Closes #6951. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Array#to_query preserves its ordering. #7756 [Greg Spurrier]
* Out-of-range Time calculations transparently overflow to DateTime. Introduce Time#to_datetime. #7706, #7715 [Geoff Buesing]
* DateTime calculations analogous to the Date and Time extensions. #7693 [Geoff Buesing]
* Give DateTime correct .to_s implementations, lets it play nice with ActiveRecord quoting. #7649 [Geoff Buesing]
* Added :instance_writer option to #mattr_writer/accessor, #cattr_writer/accessor, and #class_inheritable_writer to skip the creation of the instance writer. [Rick Olson]
* Added Hash#to_query to turn a hash of values into a form-encoded query string [Nicholas Seckar]
* Increase test coverage for subclasses_of. Closes #7335. [Roman2K, Nicholas Seckar]
* Remove unused code from Duration#inspect. Closes #7180. [Rich Collins]
* Added test coverage for Inflector.inflections.clear. Closes #7179. [Rich Collins]
* ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Handlers::UTF8Handler should raise when a range and an integer are passed in (just like the native implementation). Closes #7176 [Rich Collins]
* A couple extra tests for #classify. Closes #7273. [Josh Susser]
* Better docs for Object extensions [zackchandler, Jamis Buck]
* Fix that Dates couldn't be subtracted from Dates after [5940]. [Sam Stephenson]
* Add Object#acts_like? and Time#acts_like_time? and Date#acts_like_date? to facilitate duck-typing. [Jamis Buck]
* Make 1.months and friends accurate by introducing a Duration class. #6835 [eventualbuddha]
* Added :instance_writer option to #mattr_writer/accessor, #cattr_writer/accessor, and #class_inheritable_writer to skip the creation of the instance writer. [Rick Olson]
* Hash#slice(*keys) returns a new hash with only the given keys. #slice! replaces the hash with only the given keys. Works with HashWithIndifferentAccess also. [Jeremy Kemper]
* HashWithIndifferentAccess#to_hash converts to a Hash with String keys and the same default value. [Jeremy Kemper]
* 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]
* Update dependencies to delete partially loaded constants. [Nicholas Seckar]
* Fix unicode JSON regexp for Onigurama compatibility. #6494 [whitley]
* 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 ActiveSupport::Multibyte. Provides String#chars which lets you deal with strings as a sequence of chars, not of bytes. Closes #6242 [Julian Tarkhanov, Manfred Stienstra, Thijs van der Vossen & Jan Behrens]
* Fix issue with #class_inheritable_accessor saving updates to the parent class when initialized with an Array or Hash [mojombo]
* Hash#to_xml supports Bignum and BigDecimal. #6313 [edibiase]
* 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]
* 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 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 [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* 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>]
* 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]
* 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" [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Switched to_xml to use the xml schema format for datetimes. This allows the encoding of time zones and should improve operability. [Michael Koziarski]
* 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:
* 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 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]

* 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)

* 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 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)

* 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 Lütke]
* 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]
