## Rails 3.2.0 (unreleased) ##
* (Date|DateTime|Time)#beginning_of_week accept an optional argument to
be able to set the day at which weeks are assumed to start.
* Deprecated ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor#encrypt and decrypt. *José Valim*
* ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribed provides subscriptions to events while a block runs. *fxn*
* Module#qualified_const_(defined?|get|set) are analogous to the corresponding methods
in the standard API, but accept qualified constant names. *fxn*
* Added inflection #deconstantize which complements #demodulize. This inflection
removes the righmost segment in a qualified constant name. *fxn*
* Added ActiveSupport:TaggedLogging that can wrap any standard Logger class to provide tagging capabilities *DHH*
Logger = ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging.new(Logger.new(STDOUT))
Logger.tagged("BCX") { Logger.info "Stuff" } # Logs "[BCX] Stuff"
Logger.tagged("BCX", "Jason") { Logger.info "Stuff" } # Logs "[BCX] [Jason] Stuff"
Logger.tagged("BCX") { Logger.tagged("Jason") { Logger.info "Stuff" } } # Logs "[BCX] [Jason] Stuff"
* Added safe_constantize that constantizes a string but returns nil instead of an exception if the constant (or part of it) does not exist *Ryan Oblak*
* ActiveSupport::OrderedHash is now marked as extractable when using Array#extract_options! *Prem Sichanugrist*
* Added Array#prepend as an alias for Array#unshift and Array#append as an alias for Array#<< *DHH*
* The definition of blank string for Ruby 1.9 has been extended to Unicode whitespace.
Also, in 1.8 the ideographic space U+3000 is considered to be whitespace. *Akira Matsuda, Damien Mathieu*
* The inflector understands acronyms. *dlee*
* Deprecated ActiveSupport::Memoizable in favor of Ruby memoization pattern *José Valim*
* Added Time#all_day/week/quarter/year as a way of generating ranges (example: Event.where(created_at: Time.now.all_week)) *DHH*
* Added instance_accessor: false as an option to Class#cattr_accessor and friends *DHH*
* Removed ActiveSupport::SecureRandom in favor of SecureRandom from the standard library *Jon Leighton*
* ActiveSupport::OrderedHash now has different behavior for #each and
\#each_pair when given a block accepting its parameters with a splat. *Andrew Radev*
## Rails 3.1.0 (August 30, 2011) ##
* ActiveSupport::Dependencies#load and ActiveSupport::Dependencies#require now
return the value from `super` *Aaron Patterson*
* Fixed ActiveSupport::Gzip to work properly in Ruby 1.8 *Guillermo Iguaran*
* Kernel.require_library_or_gem was deprecated and will be removed in Rails 3.2.0 *Josh Kalderimis*
* ActiveSupport::Duration#duplicable? was fixed for Ruby 1.8 *thedarkone*
* ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger set log encoding to BINARY, but still use text
mode to output portable newlines. *fxn*
* ActiveSupport::Dependencies now raises NameError if it finds an existing constant in load_missing_constant. This better reflects the nature of the error which is usually caused by calling constantize on a nested constant. *Andrew White*
* Deprecated ActiveSupport::SecureRandom in favour of SecureRandom from the standard library *Jon Leighton*
* New reporting method Kernel#quietly. *fxn*
* Add String#inquiry as a convenience method for turning a string into a StringInquirer object *DHH*
* Add Object#in? to test if an object is included in another object *Prem Sichanugrist, Brian Morearty, John Reitano*
* LocalCache strategy is now a real middleware class, not an anonymous class
posing for pictures.
* ActiveSupport::Dependencies::ClassCache class has been introduced for
holding references to reloadable classes.
* ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Reference has been refactored to take direct
advantage of the new ClassCache.
* Backports Range#cover? as an alias for Range#include? in Ruby 1.8 *Diego Carrion, fxn*
* Added weeks_ago and prev_week to Date/DateTime/Time. *Rob Zolkos, fxn*
* Added before_remove_const callback to ActiveSupport::Dependencies.remove_unloadable_constants! *Andrew White*
* JSON decoding now uses the multi_json gem which also vendors a json engine called OkJson. The yaml backend has been removed in favor of OkJson as a default engine for 1.8.x, while the built in 1.9.x json implementation will be used by default. *Josh Kalderimis*
## Rails 3.0.7 (April 18, 2011) ##
* Hash.from_xml no longer loses attributes on tags containing only whitespace *André Arko*
* Rails 3.0.6 (April 5, 2011)
* No changes.
## Rails 3.0.5 (February 26, 2011) ##
* No changes.
## Rails 3.0.4 (February 8, 2011) ##
* No changes.
## Rails 3.0.3 (November 16, 2010) ##
* No changes.
## Rails 3.0.2 (November 15, 2010) ##
* Added before_remove_const callback to ActiveSupport::Dependencies.remove_unloadable_constants! *Andrew White*
## Rails 3.0.1 (October 15, 2010) ##
* No Changes, just a version bump.
## Rails 3.0.0 (August 29, 2010) ##
* Implemented String#strip_heredoc. *fxn*
* Pluggable cache stores: setting config.cache_store = "custom_store" will require 'active_support/cache/custom_store' and look for the CustomStore constant. #5486 *Mike Perham*
* Removed Object#returning, Object#tap should be used instead. *Santiago Pastorino*
* Deprecation behavior is no longer hardcoded to the name of the environment.
Instead, it is set via config.active_support.deprecation and can be one
of :log, :stderr or :notify. :notify is a new style that sends the warning
via ActiveSupport::Notifications, and is the new default for production
*Yehuda Katz*
* Renamed ActiveSupport::Dependecies.load_(once_)paths to autoload_(once_)paths. *fxn*
* Added ActiveSupport::FileUpdateChecker to execute a block only if a set of files changed, used by Router and I18n locale files. *José Valim*
* Added ActiveSupport::DescendantsTracker to track descendants with support to constants reloading. *José Valim*
* ActiveSupport::OrderedHash#merge and #merge! accept a block. #4838 *Paul Mucur, fxn*
* Date#since, #ago, #beginning_of_day, #end_of_day, and #xmlschema honor now the user time zone if set. *Geoff Buesing*
* Extracted String#truncate from TextHelper#truncate *DHH*
* Ruby 1.9: support UTF-8 case folding. #4595 *Norman Clarke*
* Removes Array#rand and backports Array#sample from Ruby 1.9, thanks to Marc-Andre Lafortune. *fxn*
* Ruby 1.9: Renames last_(month|year) to prev_(month|year) in Date and Time. *fxn*
* Aliases Date#sunday to Date#end_of_week. *fxn*
* Backports Date#>> from 1.9 so that calculations do the right thing around the calendar reform. *fxn*
* Date#to_time handles properly years in the range 0..138. *fxn*
* Deprecate {{}} as interpolation syntax for I18n in favor of %{} *José Valim*
* Array#to_xml is more powerful and able to handle the same types as Hash#to_xml #4490 *Neeraj Singh*
* Harmonize the caching API and refactor the backends. #4452 *Brian Durand*
All caches:
* Add default options to initializer that will be sent to all read, write, fetch, exist?, increment, and decrement
* Add support for the :expires_in option to fetch and write for all caches. Cache entries are stored with the create timestamp and a ttl so that expiration can be handled independently of the implementation.
* Add support for a :namespace option. This can be used to set a global prefix for cache entries.
* Deprecate expand_cache_key on ActiveSupport::Cache and move it to ActionController::Caching and ActionDispatch::Http::Cache since the logic in the method used some Rails specific environment variables and was only used by ActionPack classes. Not very DRY but there didn't seem to be a good shared spot and ActiveSupport really shouldn't be Rails specific.
* Add support for :race_condition_ttl to fetch. This setting can prevent race conditions on fetch calls where several processes try to regenerate a recently expired entry at once.
* Add support for :compress option to fetch and write which will compress any data over a configurable threshold.
* Nil values can now be stored in the cache and are distinct from cache misses for fetch.
* Easier API to create new implementations. Just need to implement the methods read_entry, write_entry, and delete_entry instead of overwriting existing methods.
* Since all cache implementations support storing objects, update the docs to state that ActiveCache::Cache::Store implementations should store objects. Keys, however, must be strings since some implementations require that.
* Increase test coverage.
* Document methods which are provided as convenience but which may not be universally available.
MemoryStore:
* MemoryStore can now safely be used as the cache for single server sites.
* Make thread safe so that the default cache implementation used by Rails is thread safe. The overhead is minimal and it is still the fastest store available.
* Provide :size initialization option indicating the maximum size of the cache in memory (defaults to 32Mb).
* Add prune logic that removes the least recently used cache entries to keep the cache size from exceeding the max.
* Deprecated SynchronizedMemoryStore since it isn't needed anymore.
FileStore:
* Escape key values so they will work as file names on all file systems, be consistent, and case sensitive
* Use a hash algorithm to segment the cache into sub directories so that a large cache doesn't exceed file system limits.
* FileStore can be slow so implement the LocalCache strategy to cache reads for the duration of a request.
* Add cleanup method to keep the disk from filling up with expired entries.
* Fix increment and decrement to use file system locks so they are consistent between processes.
MemCacheStore:
* Support all keys. Previously keys with spaces in them would fail
* Deprecate CompressedMemCacheStore since it isn't needed anymore (use :compress => true)
* JSON: encode objects that don't have a native JSON representation using to_hash, if available, instead of instance_values (the old fallback) or to_s (other encoders' default). Encode BigDecimal and Regexp encode as strings to conform with other encoders. Try to transcode non-UTF-8 strings. *Jeremy Kemper*
* HashWithIndifferentAccess: remove inherited symbolize_keys! since its keys are always strings. *Santiago Pastorino*
* Improve transliteration quality. #4374 *Norman Clarke*
* Speed up and add Ruby 1.9 support for ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars#tidy_bytes. #4350 *Norman Clarke*
* Reduced load time by deferring configuration of classes using
ActiveSupport::on_load(:component_name) *YK*
* Rename #metaclass to #singleton_class now that ruby-core has decided *JK*
* 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 class_attribute to declare inheritable class attributes. Writing an attribute on a subclass behaves just like overriding the superclass reader method. Unifies and replaces most usage of cattr_accessor, class_inheritable_attribute, superclass_delegating_attribute, and extlib_inheritable_attribute. *Jeremy Kemper, Yehuda Katz*
* 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*
* Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.16 *Geoff Buesing*
* Georgetown TimeZone is now mapped to "America/Guyana" instead of "America/Argentina/San_Juan" #1821 *Geoff Buesing, Reuben Sivan*
* Changed the default ActiveSupport.use_standard_json_time_format from false to true and
ActiveSupport.escape_html_entities_in_json from true to false to match previously announced Rails 3 defaults *DHH*
* Added Object#presence that returns the object if it's #present? otherwise returns nil *DHH/Colin Kelley*
* Add Enumerable#exclude? to bring parity to Enumerable#include? and avoid if !x.include?/else calls *DHH*
* Update Edinburgh TimeZone to use "Europe/London" instead of "Europe/Dublin" #3310 *Phil Ross*
* Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.15 *Geoff Buesing*
* 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*
* String #to_time and #to_datetime: handle fractional seconds #864 *Jason Frey*
* Update bundled TZInfo to v0.3.13 *Geoff Buesing*
* Allow MemCacheStore to be initialized with a MemCache-like object instead of addresses and options *Bryan Helmkamp*
* Change spelling of Kyev timezone to Kyiv #2613 *Alexander Dymo*
* Add ActiveSupport.parse_json_times to disable time parsing in JSON backends that don't support it or don't need it. *rick*
* Add pluggable JSON backends with support for the JSON gem. *rick*
Example: ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
All internal Rails JSON encoding is now handled by ActiveSupport::JSON.encode(). Use of #to_json is not recommended, as it may clash with other libraries that overwrite it. However, you can recover Rails specific functionality
if you really want to use #to_json.
gem 'json'
ActiveSupport::JSON.backend = "JSONGem"
class ActiveRecord::Base
alias to_json rails_to_json
end
* require 'active_support' no longer orders the whole menu of core extensions. Ask for just what you need: e.g. require 'active_support/core/time' to use timezones, durations, and stdlib date/time extensions. *Jeremy Kemper*
* Removed rarely-used DRb cache store. *Jeremy Kemper*
* TimeWithZone.name returns 'Time', to further thwart type checking *Geoff Buesing*
* Time.local instances: Adding 24.hours across the DST boundary adds 24 hours instead of one day #2066 *Michael Curtis*
## 2.3.2 Final (March 15, 2009) ##
* XmlMini supports LibXML and Nokogiri backends. #2084, #2190 *Bart ten Brinke, Aaron Patterson*

* Ruby 1.9.1p0 fix: URI.unescape can decode multibyte chars. #2033 *MOROHASHI Kyosuke*
* 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*
* TimeWithZone#xmlschema accepts optional fraction_digits argument [#1725 state:resolved] *Nicholas Dainty*
* 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 ActiveSupport::Rescuable module abstracting ActionController::Base rescue_from features. *Norbert Crombach, Pratik Naik*
* Switch from String#chars to String#mb_chars for the unicode proxy. *Manfred Stienstra*
This helps with 1.8.7 compatibility and also improves performance for some operations by reducing indirection.
* TimeWithZone #wday, #yday and #to_date avoid trip through #method_missing *Geoff Buesing*
* Added Time, Date, DateTime and TimeWithZone #past?, #future? and #today? #720 *Clemens Kofler, Geoff Buesing*

* Added Inflector#parameterize for easy slug generation ("Donald E. Knuth".parameterize => "donald-e-knuth") #713 *Matt Darby*
* Changed cache benchmarking to be reported in milliseconds *David Heinemeier Hansson*
* 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:
a = (1..10).to_a
a.in_groups(3) # => [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, nil], [8, 9, 10, nil]]
a.in_groups(3, false) # => [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7], [8, 9, 10]]
* Fix TimeWithZone unmarshaling: coerce unmarshaled Time instances to utc, because Ruby's marshaling of Time instances doesn't respect the zone *Geoff Buesing*
* Added Memoizable mixin for caching simple lazy loaded attributes *Josh Peek*
* Move the test related core_ext stuff out of core_ext so it's only loaded by the test helpers. *Michael Koziarski*
* Add Inflection rules for String#humanize. #535 *Dan Manges*
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
inflect.human(/_cnt$/i, '\1_count')
end
'jargon_cnt'.humanize # => 'Jargon count'
* 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*

* Fixed Date#end_of_quarter to not blow up on May 31st [#289 state:resolved] (Danger)
## 2.1.0 (May 31st, 2008) ##
* 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*
* Remove unused JSON::RESERVED_WORDS, JSON.valid_identifier? and JSON.reserved_word? methods. Resolves #164. *Cheah Chu Yeow*
* 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*
* Refactor TimeWithZone: don't send #since, #ago, #+, #-, #advance through method_missing *Geoff Buesing*
* TimeWithZone respects config.active_support.use_standard_json_time_format *Geoff Buesing*

* Improve documentation. *Xavier Noria*
* 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*
* Add config.active_support.use_standard_json_time_format setting so that Times and Dates export to ISO 8601 dates. *Rick Olson*
* 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*
* Improve documentation. *Ryan Bigg, Jan De Poorter, Cheah Chu Yeow, Xavier Shay, Jack Danger Canty, Emilio Tagua, Xavier Noria, Sunny Ripert*
* Ensure that TimeWithZone#to_yaml works when passed a YAML::Emitter. *Rick Olson*
* Ensure correct TimeWithZone#to_date *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 responds to Ruby 1.9 weekday-named query methods *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*
* TimeZone #local and #now correctly enforce DST rules *Geoff Buesing*
* TimeWithZone instances correctly enforce DST rules. Adding TimeZone#period_for_utc *Geoff Buesing*
* test_time_with_datetime_fallback expects DateTime.local_offset instead of DateTime.now.offset *Geoff Buesing*
* Adding TimeWithZone #marshal_dump and #marshal_load *Geoff Buesing*
* Add OrderedHash#to_hash *Josh Peek*
* 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*
* Add String#squish and String#squish! to remove consecutive chunks of whitespace. #11123 *Jordi Bunster, Henrik N*
* Serialize BigDecimals as Floats when using to_yaml. #8746 *Ernesto Jimenez*
* Adding TimeWithZone #to_yaml, #to_datetime, #eql? and method aliases for duck-typing compatibility with Time *Geoff Buesing*
* TimeWithZone #in_time_zone returns +self+ if zone argument is the same as #time_zone *Geoff Buesing*
* Adding TimeWithZone #to_a, #to_f, #to_i, #httpdate, #rfc2822 *Geoff Buesing*
* Pruning unneeded TimeWithZone#change_time_zone_to_current *Geoff Buesing*
* Time#zone=, #in_time_zone and #change_time_zone accept a Duration *Geoff Buesing*
* Time#in_time_zone handles Time.local instances correctly *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*
* Remove :nodoc: entries around the ActiveSupport test/unit assertions. #10946 *dancroak, jamesh*
* Add Time.zone_default accessor for setting the default time zone. Rails::Configuration.time_zone sets this. #10982 *Geoff Buesing*
* cache.fetch(key, :force => true) to force a cache miss. *Jeremy Kemper*
* Support retrieving TimeZones with a Duration. TimeZone[-28800] == TimeZone[-480.minutes]. *Rick Olson*
* 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*

* 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*

* 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*

* Change JSON to encode %w(< > &) as 4 digit hex codes to be in compliance with the JSON spec. Closes #9975 *Josh Peek, Cheah Chu Yeow, Tim Pope*
* Fix JSON encoding/decoding bugs dealing with /'s. Closes #9990 *Rick Olson, theamazingrando*
* Introduce a base class for all test cases used by rails applications. ActiveSupport::TestCase *Michael Koziarski*
The intention is to use this to reduce the amount of monkeypatching / overriding that
is done to test/unit's classes.
* Document Enumerable and Hash #to_json. #9970 *Cheah Chu Yeow*
* Hash#to_xml handles symbol values. #9954 *Assaf*
* Hash#symbolize_keys behaves well with integer keys. #9890 *PotatoSalad*
* Multibyte: String#slice supports regexp argument. #9646 *yob*
* object.duplicable? returns true if object.dup is safe. False for nil, true, false, symbols, and numbers; true otherwise. #9333 *sur*

* Let alias_attribute work with attributes with initial capital letters (legacy columns etc). Closes #8596 *mpalmer*
* Added Hash#except which is the inverse of Hash#slice -- return the hash except the keys that are specified *David Heinemeier Hansson*
* Added support for pluralization with a different starting letter than the singular version (cow/kine) #4929 *norri_b/Josh Susser*
* Demote Hash#to_xml to use XmlSimple#xml_in_string so it can't read files or stdin. #8453 *candlerb, Jeremy Kemper*
* Backport clean_logger changes to support ruby 1.8.2 *Mislav Marohnić*
* Added proper handling of arrays #8537 *Josh Susser*
Before:
Hash.from_xml ''
# => {:images => nil}
Hash.from_xml 'foo.jpg'
# => {:images => {:image => "foo.jpg"}}
Hash.from_xml 'foo.jpgbar.jpg'
# => {:images => {:image => ["foo.jpg", "bar.jpg"]}}
After:
Hash.from_xml ''
# => {:images => []}
Hash.from_xml 'foo.jpg'
# => {:images => ["foo.jpg"]}
Hash.from_xml 'foo.jpgbar.jpg'
# => {:images => ["foo.jpg", "bar.jpg"]}

* escape <'s and >'s in JSON strings. #8371 *Rick Olson*
* 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*
* Document Object#blank?. #6491 *Chris Mear*
* 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.*
* Added assert_difference and assert_no_difference to test/unit assertions *Tobias Lütke*
* 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*
* Added parsing of file type in Hash.xml_in so you can easily do file uploads with base64 from an API *David Heinemeier Hansson*
David
R0lGODlhkACZAPUAAM5lcfjrtMQCG=\n
...becomes:
attributes = { :person => { :name => "David", :avatar => # } }
attributes[:person][:avatar].content_type # => "image/jpg"
attributes[:person][:avatar].original_filename # => "me.jpg"

## 1.4.2 (March 12th, 2007) ##
* Ruby 1.8.6 and 1.9 define private Time#to_date and #to_datetime; make them
public for compatibility. *Jeremy Kemper*
* Deprecation: warn on stderr if RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER isn't set yet. *Jeremy Kemper*
## 1.4.1 (February 5th, 2007) ##

* 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*
* Added Time#to_s(:time) which will just return H:M, like 17:44 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
* Add Module#attr_accessor_with_default to initialize value of attribute before setting it. Closes #6538. *Stuart Halloway, Marcel Molina Jr.*
* Hash#to_xml handles keys with the same name as Kernel methods. #6613 *Jonathan del Strother*
* Added Time#end_of_day to get 23:59:59 of that day *David Heinemeier Hansson*

* Make String#chars slicing behaviour consistent with String. Closes #6387 *Manfred Stienstra*
* Pull in latest multibyte patch. Closes #6346 *Manfred Stienstra*
* 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*
* Don't undefine #class in OptionMerger *Rick Olson*

* 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*
* DateTime#to_time gives hour/minute/second resolution. #5747 *jon.evans@pobox.com*
* 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'

* Add extention to obtain the missing constant from NameError instances. *Nicholas Seckar*
* Thoroughly document inflections. #5700 *petermichaux@gmail.com*
* Added Module#alias_attribute [Jamis/David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
class Content < ActiveRecord::Base
# has a title attribute
end
class Email < ActiveRecord::Base
alias_attribute :subject, :title
end
e = Email.find(1)
e.title # => "Superstars"
e.subject # => "Superstars"
e.subject? # => true
e.subject = "Megastars"
e.title # => "Megastars"
* 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:
ActiveSupport::Deprecation.behavior = Proc.new { |message| raise message }
* First cut of the Rails Deprecation system. *Michael Koziarski*
* Strip boolean XML content before checking for 'true' *Rick Olson*
* Customize default BigDecimal formatting. References #5672 *Dave Thomas*
* Correctly convert to nil when using Hash.create_from_xml. *Rick Olson*

* Fixed HashWithIndifferentAccess#default #5586 *chris@seagul.co.uk*
* More compatible Hash.create_from_xml. #5523 *nunemaker@gmail.com*
* Added Enumerable#sum for calculating a sum from the elements [David Heinemeier Hansson, jonathan@daikini.com]. Examples:
[1, 2, 3].sum
payments.sum { |p| p.price * p.tax_rate }
payments.sum(&:price)
This is instead of payments.inject(0) { |sum, p| sum + p.price }
* Correct and clarify Array#to_sentence docs. #5458 *brad@madriska.com*
* alias_method_chain preserves method punctuation so foo, foo?, and foo! may be chained with the same feature. *Jeremy Kemper*
Example:
alias_method_chain :save!, :validation
is equivalent to
alias_method :save_without_validation!, :save!
alias_method :save!, :save_with_validation!
* Enhance Symbol#to_proc so it works with list objects, such as multi-dimensional arrays. Closes #5295 [nov@yo.rim.or.jp]. Example:
{1 => "one", 2 => "two", 3 => "three"}.sort_by(&:first).map(&:last)
# => ["one", "two", "three"]
* Added Hash.create_from_xml(string) which will create a hash from a XML string and even typecast if possible [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
Hash.create_from_xml <<-EOT
This is a note
2004-10-10
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 *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 *
* Add OrderedHash#values. *Sam Stephenson*
* Added Array#to_s(:db) that'll produce a comma-separated list of ids [David Heinemeier Hansson]. 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. *Michael Schoen*
* 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*
* Document Module::delegate. #5002 *pergesu@gmail.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 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
* Add Array#split for dividing arrays into one or more subarrays by value or block. *Sam Stephenson*
## 1.3.1 (April 6th, 2006) ##
* Clean paths inside of exception messages and traces. *Nicholas Seckar*
* Add Pathname.clean_within for cleaning all the paths inside of a string. *Nicholas Seckar*
* provide an empty Dependencies::LoadingModule.load which prints deprecation warnings. Lets 1.0 applications function with .13-style environment.rb.
## 1.3.0 (March 27th, 2006) ##
* 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*
* 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. *Michael Koziarski*
* 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. *Michael Koziarski*
* Added Hash#to_xml and Array#to_xml that makes it much easier to produce XML from basic structures [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
{ :name => "David", :street_name => "Paulina", :age => 26, :moved_on => Date.new(2005, 11, 15) }.to_xml
...returns:
Paulina
David
26
2005-11-15
* Moved Jim Weirich's wonderful Builder from Action Pack to Active Support (it's simply too useful to be stuck in AP) *David Heinemeier Hansson*
* 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 *David Heinemeier Hansson*
* 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:
logger.around_info("Start rendering component (#{options.inspect}): ",
"\n\nEnd of component rendering") { yield }
* Added Time#beginning_of_quarter #3607 *cohen.jeff@gmail.com*
* Fix Object.subclasses_of to only return currently defined objects *Jonathan Viney *
* Fix constantize to properly handle names beginning with '::'. *Nicholas Seckar*
* Make String#last return the string instead of nil when it is shorter than the limit [Scott Barron].
* Added delegation support to Module that allows multiple delegations at once (unlike Forwardable in the stdlib) [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :subscription
delegate :free?, :paying?, :to => :subscription
delegate :overdue?, :to => "subscription.last_payment"
end
account.free? # => account.subscription.free?
account.overdue? # => account.subscription.last_payment.overdue?
* 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. *David Heinemeier Hansson*
* 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 *Ken Miller*
* 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*

* 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*

* 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 *
* 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 *
* 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 *
* 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 *Chris McGrath*
* Fixed Inflector.underscore for use with acronyms, so HTML becomes html instead of htm_l #2173 *k@v2studio.com*

* Added Array#to_sentence that'll turn ['one', 'two', 'three'] into "one, two, and three" #2157 *Manfred Stienstra*
* Added Kernel#silence_warnings to turn off warnings temporarily for the passed block
* Added String#starts_with? and String#ends_with? #2118 *Thijs van der Vossen*
* 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 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 *Chris McGrath*
* 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 van der Vossen*
* 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 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*
* 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:
"Later today" => now.in(3.hours),
"Tomorrow morning" => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
"Tomorrow afternoon" => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 14),
"In a couple of days" => now.tomorrow.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
"Next monday" => now.next_week.change(:hour => 9),
"In a month" => now.next_month.change(:hour => 9),
"In 6 months" => now.months_since(6).change(:hour => 9),
"In a year" => now.in(1.year).change(:hour => 9)
* Upgraded to breakpoint 92 which fixes:
* overload IRB.parse_opts(), fixes #443
=> breakpoints in tests work even when running them via rake
* untaint handlers, might fix an issue discussed on the Rails ML
* added verbose mode to breakpoint_client
* less noise caused by breakpoint_client by default
* ignored TerminateLineInput exception in signal handler
=> quiet exit on Ctrl-C
* Fixed Inflector for words like "news" and "series" that are the same in plural and singular #603 [echion], #615 *marcenuc*
* Added Hash#stringify_keys and Hash#stringify_keys!
* Added IndifferentAccess as a way to wrap a hash by a symbol-based store that also can be accessed by string keys
* Added Inflector.constantize to turn "Admin::User" into a reference for the constant Admin::User
* Added that Inflector.camelize and Inflector.underscore can deal with modules like turning "Admin::User" into "admin/user" and back
* Added Inflector.humanize to turn attribute names like employee_salary into "Employee salary". Used by automated error reporting in AR.
* Added availability of class inheritable attributes to the masses #477 *Jeremy Kemper*
class Foo
class_inheritable_reader :read_me
class_inheritable_writer :write_me
class_inheritable_accessor :read_and_write_me
class_inheritable_array :read_and_concat_me
class_inheritable_hash :read_and_update_me
end
# Bar gets a clone of (not a reference to) Foo's attributes.
class Bar < Foo
end
Bar.read_and_write_me == Foo.read_and_write_me
Bar.read_and_write_me = 'bar'
Bar.read_and_write_me != Foo.read_and_write_me
* Added Inflections as an extension on String, so Inflector.pluralize(Inflector.classify(name)) becomes name.classify.pluralize #476 *Jeremy Kemper*
* Added Byte operations to Numeric, so 5.5.megabytes + 200.kilobytes #461 *Marcel Molina Jr.*
* Fixed that Dependencies.reload can't load the same file twice #420 *Kent Sibilev*
* Added Fixnum#ago/until, Fixnum#since/from_now #450 *Jeremy Kemper*
* Added that Inflector now accepts Symbols and Classes by calling .to_s on the word supplied
* Added time unit extensions to Fixnum that'll return the period in seconds, like 2.days + 4.hours.
