*Edge* * 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] Example: XmlMini.backend = 'Nokogiri' * Vendorize i18n 0.1.3 gem (fixes issues with incompatible character encodings in Ruby 1.9) #2038 [Akira Matsuda] * Update bundled memcache-client from 1.5.0.5 to 1.6.4.99. See http://www.mikeperham.com/2009/02/15/memcache-client-performance/ [Mike Perham] * 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 :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.

[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] * TimeZone offset tests: use current_period, to ensure TimeZone#utc_offset is up-to-date [Geoff Buesing] * Update bundled TZInfo to 0.3.12 [Geoff Buesing] * Added lambda merging to OptionMerger (especially useful with named_scope and with_options) #726 [Paweł Kondzior] *2.2.1 [RC2] (November 14th, 2008)* * Increment the version of our altered memcache-client to prevent confusion caused when the 1.5.0 gem is installed. * Fixed the option merging in Array#to_xml #1126 [Rudolf Gavlas] * Make I18n::Backend::Simple reload its translations in development mode [David Heinemeier Hansson/Sven Fuchs] *2.2.0 [RC1] (October 24th, 2008)* * TimeWithZone#freeze: preload instance variables so that we can actually freeze [Geoff Buesing] * Fix Brasilia timezone #1180 [Marcus Derencius, Kane] * Time#advance recognizes fractional days and weeks. Deprecate Durations of fractional months and years #970 [Tom Lea] * 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] * Fixed Sri Jayawardenepura time zone to map to Asia/Colombo [Jamis Buck] * 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] * Added test/do declaration style testing to ActiveSupport::TestCase [DHH via Jay Fields] * Added Object#present? which is equivalent to !Object#blank? [David Heinemeier Hansson] * Added Enumberable#many? to encapsulate collection.size > 1 [David Heinemeier Hansson/Damian Janowski] * Add more standard Hash methods to ActiveSupport::OrderedHash [Steve Purcell] * Namespace Inflector, Dependencies, OrderedOptions, and TimeZone under ActiveSupport [Josh Peek] * Added StringInquirer for doing things like StringInquirer.new("production").production? # => true and StringInquirer.new("production").development? # => false [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] * Add config.active_support.escape_html_entities_in_json to allow disabling of html entity escaping. [Rick Olson] * 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.

[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] * 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] * Adding alternate_utc_string option to TimeZone#formatted_offset.

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" attributes[:person][:avatar].read # => binary data of the file Which is duck-type compatible with the files that you get when doing multipart uploads through HTML. * Improved multibyte performance by relying less on exception raising #8159 [Blaine] * Use XSD-compatible type names for Hash#to_xml and make the converters extendable #8047 [Tim Pope] * Added yielding of builder in Hash#to_xml [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] * Hash#to_xml supports YAML attributes. #7502 [jonathan] * 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] * Add File.atomic_write, allows you to write large files in an atomic manner, preventing users from seeing half written files.

[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] *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) * Optimize Class Inheritable Attributes so that unnecessary hashes are not created. Closes #7472 [Bruce Perens] * 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] * Full test coverage for Inflector. #7228 [Dan Kubb] *1.4.0* (January 16th, 2007) * Document Inflector.ordinalize and merge docs from String inflections. #7023 [smeade] * Unbundle flexmock.

[Nicholas Seckar] * Deprecation: silence warnings when reporting test errors. [Jeremy Kemper] * 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] * 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] * 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 XmlSimple to 1.0.10. Closes #6532. [Nick Sieger] * 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] * next_week respects DST changes. #6483, #5617, #2353, #2509, #4551 [marclove, Rob Biedenharn, rails@roetzel.de, jsolson@damogran.org, drbrain@segment7.net] * Expose methods added to Enumerable in the documentation, such as group_by. Closes #6170. [sergeykojin@gmail.com, Marcel Molina Jr.] * Ensure Chars#tidy_bytes only tidies broken bytes.

Closes #6388 [Manfred Stienstra] * 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] * Hash.create_from_xml has been renamed to Hash.from_xml, alias will exist until Rails 2.0 [David Heinemeier Hansson] * alias_method_chain works with accessor= methods also. #6153 [Caio Chassot] * Fix loadable_constants_for_path to handle load paths that do not end with a slash.

[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] * 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' attr_internal :foo * Raise fully qualified names upon name errors. #5533 [Lars Pind, Nicholas Seckar] * 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] * Optional identity for Enumerable#sum defaults to zero. #5657 [gensym@mac.com] * HashWithIndifferentAccess shouldn't confuse false and nil. #5601 [Shugo Maeda] * 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] * 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 ] * 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] * Fixed dependencies related infinite recursion bug when a controller file does not contain a controller class. Closes #1760.

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 [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?

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.

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].
