[Feature #13919] * KeyError * New methods: * KeyError#receiver [Feature #12063] * KeyError#key [Feature #12063] * FrozenError * New exception class. [Feature #13224] === Stdlib updates (outstanding ones only) * BigDecimal * Update to BigDecimal 1.3.4 * The following features are added: * BigDecimal::VERSION * The following features have been deprecated, and are planned to be removed in the version 1.4.0: * BigDecimal.new * BigDecimal.ver * BigDecimal#clone and #dup now do not make a new instance, but returns the receiver itself. * Coverage * Support branch coverage and method coverage measurement. [Feature #13901] Branch coverage tells you which branches are executed, and which not. Method coverage tells you which methods are invoked, and which not. By running a test suite with this new feature, you can know which branches and methods are executed by a test, and evaluate total coverage of a test suite more strictly. You can specify the measuring target by an option to `Coverage.start`: Coverage.start(lines: true, branches: true, methods: true) After some Ruby files are loaded, you can use `Coverage.result` to get the coverage result: Coverage.result #=> { "/path/to/file.rb"=> # { :lines => [1, 2, 0, nil, ...], # :branches => # { [:if, 0, 2, 1, 6, 4] => # { [:then, 1, 3, 2, 3, 8] => 0, # [:else, 2, 5, 2, 5, 8] => 2 # } # }, # :methods => { # [Object, :foo, 1, 0, 7, 3] => 2 # } # } # } The result type of line coverage is not changed; it is just an array that contains numbers, which means the count that each line was executed, or `nil`s, which means that the line is not relevant. The result type of branch coverage is: { (jump base) => { (jump target) => (counter) } } where jump base and targets have the format [type, unique-id, start lineno, start column, end lineno, end column] For example, `[:if, 0, 2, 1, 6, 4]` reads an `if` statement that ranges from line 2 and column 1, to line 6 and column 4. `[:then, 1, 3, 2, 3, 8]` reads a `then` clause that ranges from line 3 and column 2, to line 3 and column 8. Note that lineno starts from 1, and that columnno starts from 0. So, the above example shows a branch from the `if` to the `then` was never executed, and a branch from the `if` to the `else` was executed twice. The result type of method coverage is: { (method key) => (counter) } where method key has the format [class, method-name, start lineno, start column, end lineno, end column] For example, `[Object, :foo, 1, 0, 7, 3]` reads `Object#foo` that ranges from line 1 and column 0, to line 7 and column 3. The above example shows this `Object#foo` was invoked twice. Note: To keep compatibility, passing no option to `Coverage.start` will measure only line coverage, and `Coverage.result` will return the old format: Coverage.result #=> { "/path/to/file.rb"=> [1, 2, 0, nil, ...] } * DRb * ACL::ACLEntry.new no longer suppresses IPAddr::InvalidPrefixError. * ERB * Add ERB#result_with_hash to render a template with local variables passed with a Hash object. [Feature #8631] * Default template file encoding is changed from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 in erb command. [Bug #14095] * Carriage returns are changed to be trimmed properly if trim_mode is specified and used. Duplicated newlines will be removed on Windows. [Bug #5339] [Bug #11464] * IPAddr * IPAddr no longer accepts invalid address mask. [Bug #13399] * IPAddr#{ipv4_compat,ipv4_compat?} are marked for deprecation. [Bug #13769] * New methods: * IPAddr#prefix * IPAddr#loopback? * IPAddr#private? [Feature #11666] * IPAddr#link_local? [Feature #10912] * IRB * Print backtrace and error message in reverse order [Feature #8661] [experimental] * `binding.irb` automatically requires irb and runs [Bug #13099] [experimental] * `binding.irb` on its start shows source around the line where it was called [Feature #14124] * Matrix * New methods: * Matrix.combine and Matrix#combine [Feature #10903] * Matrix#{hadamard_product,entrywise_product} * Net::HTTP * Net::HTTP.new supports no_proxy parameter [Feature #11195] * Net::HTTP#{min_version,max_version}, [Feature #9450] * Add more HTTP status classes * Net::HTTP::STATUS_CODES is added as HTTP Status Code Repository [Misc #12935] * Net::HTTP#{proxy_user,proxy_pass} reflect http_proxy environment variable if the system's environment variable is multiuser safe. [Bug #12921] * open-uri * URI.open method defined as an alias to open-uri's Kernel.open. open-uri's Kernel.open will be deprecated in future. * OpenSSL * Updated Ruby/OpenSSL from version 2.0 to 2.1. Changes are noted in "Version 2.1.0" section in ext/openssl/History.md. * Pathname * New method: * Pathname#glob [Feature #7360] * Psych * Update to Psych 3.0.2. * Convert fallback option to a keyword argument https://github.com/ruby/psych/pull/342 * Add :symbolize_names option to Psych.load, Psych.safe_load like JSON.parse https://github.com/ruby/psych/pull/333, https://github.com/ruby/psych/pull/337 * Add Psych::Handler#event_location https://github.com/ruby/psych/pull/326 * Make frozen string literal = true https://github.com/ruby/psych/pull/320 * Preserve time zone offset when deserializing times https://github.com/ruby/psych/pull/316 * Remove deprecated method aliases for syck gem https://github.com/ruby/psych/pull/312 * RbConfig * RbConfig::LIMITS is added to provide the limits of C types. This is available when rbconfig/sizeof is loaded. * Ripper * Ripper::EXPR_BEG and so on for Ripper#state. * New method: * Ripper#state to tell the state of scanner. [Feature #13686] * RDoc * Update to RDoc 6.0.1. * Replace IRB based lexer with Ripper. * https://github.com/ruby/rdoc/pull/512 * This much improves the speed of generating documents. * It also facilitates supporting new syntax in the future. * Support many new syntaxes of Ruby from the past few years. * Use "frozen_string_literal: true". Performance survey: https://gist.github.com/aycabta/abdfaa75ea8a6877eeb734e942e73800 * Support did_you_mean. * Rubygems * Update to Rubygems 2.7.3. * http://blog.rubygems.org/2017/11/28/2.7.3-released.html * http://blog.rubygems.org/2017/11/08/2.7.2-released.html * http://blog.rubygems.org/2017/11/03/2.7.1-released.html * http://blog.rubygems.org/2017/11/01/2.7.0-released.html * http://blog.rubygems.org/2017/10/09/2.6.14-released.html * http://blog.rubygems.org/2017/08/27/2.6.13-released.html * SecureRandom * New method: * SecureRandom.alphanumeric * Set * New methods: * Set#to_s as alias to #inspect [Feature #13676] * Set#=== as alias to #include?

[Bug #8352] * WEBrick * Add Server Name Indication (SNI) support [Feature #13729] * support Proc objects as body responses [Feature #855] * released as a RubyGem [Feature #13173] * avoid unintended behavior from Kernel#open [Misc #14216] * Zlib * Zlib::GzipWriter#write accepts multiple arguments === Compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes) * Socket * BasicSocket#read_nonblock and BasicSocket#write_nonblock no longer set the O_NONBLOCK file description flag as side effect (on Linux only) [Feature #13362] * Random * Random.raw_seed renamed to become Random.urandom. It is now applicable to non-seeding purposes due to [Bug #9569]. * Socket * Socket::Ifaddr#vhid is added [Feature #13803] * ConditionVariable, Queue and SizedQueue reimplemented for speed. They no longer subclass Struct.

[Bug #13351] To avoid this, pass nil explicitly. * mathn.rb * Removed from stdlib. [Feature #10169] * Rubygems * Removed "ubygems.rb" file from stdlib.

[Feature #8661] [experimental] * Print error message in bold/underlined text if STDERR is unchanged and a tty. [Feature #14140] [experimental] * configure option --with-ext now mandates its arguments. So for instance if you run ./configure --with-ext=openssl,+ then the openssl library is guaranteed compiled, otherwise the build fails abnormally. Note however to always add the ",+" at the end of the argument. Otherwise nothing but openssl are built. [Feature #13302] Back

=== Stdlib updates (outstanding ones only)

* BigDecimal

* Update to BigDecimal 1.3.4

* The following features are added:

* BigDecimal::VERSION

* The following features have been deprecated,
    and are planned to be removed in the version 1.4.0:

* BigDecimal.new

* BigDecimal.ver

* BigDecimal#clone and #dup now do not make a new instance,
    but returns the receiver itself.

* Coverage

* Support branch coverage and method coverage measurement. [Feature #13901]
    Branch coverage tells you which branches are executed, and which not.
    Method coverage tells you which methods are invoked, and which not.
    By running a test suite with this new feature, you can know which branches
    and methods are executed by a test, and evaluate total coverage of a test
    suite more strictly.

You can specify the measuring target by an option to `Coverage.start`:

Coverage.start(lines: true, branches: true, methods: true)

After some Ruby files are loaded, you can use `Coverage.result` to get
    the coverage result:

Coverage.result
        #=> { "/path/to/file.rb"=>
        #     { :lines => [1, 2, 0, nil, ...],
        #       :branches =>
        #         { [:if, 0, 2, 1, 6, 4] =>
        #             { [:then, 1, 3, 2, 3, 8] => 0,
        #               [:else, 2, 5, 2, 5, 8] => 2
        #             }
        #         },
        #       :methods => {
        #          [Object, :foo, 1, 0, 7, 3] => 2
        #       }
        #     }
        #   }

The result type of line coverage is not changed; it is just an array that
    contains numbers, which means the count that each line was executed,
    or `nil`s, which means that the line is not relevant.

The result type of branch coverage is:

{ (jump base) => { (jump target) => (counter) } }

where jump base and targets have the format

[type, unique-id, start lineno, start column, end lineno, end column]

For example, `[:if, 0, 2, 1, 6, 4]` reads an `if` statement that ranges from
    line 2 and column 1, to line 6 and column 4.  `[:then, 1, 3, 2, 3, 8]` reads
    a `then` clause that ranges from line 3 and column 2, to line 3 and column 8.
    Note that lineno starts from 1, and that columnno starts from 0.  So, the
    above example shows a branch from the `if` to the `then` was never executed,
    and a branch from the `if` to the `else` was executed twice.

The result type of method coverage is:

{ (method key) => (counter) }

where method key has the format

[class, method-name, start lineno, start column, end lineno, end column]

For example, `[Object, :foo, 1, 0, 7, 3]` reads `Object#foo` that ranges from
    line 1 and column 0, to line 7 and column 3.  The above example shows this
    `Object#foo` was invoked twice.

Note: To keep compatibility, passing no option to `Coverage.start` will measure
    only line coverage, and `Coverage.result` will return the old format:

Coverage.result
        #=> { "/path/to/file.rb"=> [1, 2, 0, nil, ...] }

  abnormally.

Note however to always add the ",+" at the end of the argument.
  Otherwise nothing but openssl are built.  [Feature #13302]
