=== 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

* Default template file encoding is changed from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 in erb

* 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 and IPAddr#ipv4_compat? are marked for deprecation. [Bug #13769]
* New methods:
* IPAddr#prefix

To avoid this, pass nil explicitly.

tty. [Feature #14140] [experimental]
* configure option --with-ext now mandates its arguments. So for

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]
