NEWS for Ruby 3.2.0
This document is a list of user-visible feature changes since the 3.1.0 release, except for bug fixes.
Note that each entry is kept to a minimum, see links for details.
Language changes
-
Anonymous rest and keyword rest arguments can now be passed as arguments, instead of just used in method parameters. [Feature #18351]
def foo(*) bar(*) end def baz(**) quux(**) end
-
A proc that accepts a single positional argument and keywords will no longer autosplat. [Bug #18633]
proc{|a, **k| a}.call([1, 2]) # Ruby 3.1 and before # => 1 # Ruby 3.2 and after # => [1, 2]
-
Constant assignment evaluation order for constants set on explicit objects has been made consistent with single attribute assignment evaluation order. With this code:
foo::BAR = baz
foo
is now called beforebaz
. Similarly, for multiple assignments to constants, left-to-right evaluation order is used. With this code:foo1::BAR1, foo2::BAR2 = baz1, baz2
The following evaluation order is now used:
foo1
foo2
baz1
baz2
-
Find pattern is no longer experimental. [Feature #18585]
-
Methods taking a rest parameter (like
*args
) and wishing to delegate keyword arguments throughfoo(*args)
must now be marked withruby2_keywords
(if not already the case). In other words, all methods wishing to delegate keyword arguments through*args
must now be marked withruby2_keywords
, with no exception. This will make it easier to transition to other ways of delegation once a library can require Ruby 3+. Previously, theruby2_keywords
flag was kept if the receiving method took*args
, but this was a bug and an inconsistency. A good technique to find the potentially-missingruby2_keywords
is to run the test suite, for where it fails find the last method which must receive keyword arguments, useputs nil, caller, nil
there, and check each method/block on the call chain which must delegate keywords is correctly marked asruby2_keywords
. [Bug #18625] [Bug #16466]def target(**kw) end # Accidentally worked without ruby2_keywords in Ruby 2.7-3.1, ruby2_keywords # needed in 3.2+. Just like (*args, **kwargs) or (...) would be needed on # both #foo and #bar when migrating away from ruby2_keywords. ruby2_keywords def bar(*args) target(*args) end ruby2_keywords def foo(*args) bar(*args) end foo(k: 1)
-
eval
and related methods are able to generate code coverage. Enabled usingCoverage.setup(:all)
orCoverge.setup(eval: true)
. [Feature #19008] -
Coverage.supported?(mode)
enables detection of what coverage modes are supported. [Feature #19026]
Command line options
Core classes updates
Note: We're only listing outstanding class updates.
-
Fiber::Scheduler
- Introduce
Fiber::Scheduler#io_select
for non-blockingIO.select
. [Feature #19060]
- Introduce
-
IO
- Introduce
IO#timeout=
andIO#timeout
which can causeIO::TimeoutError
to be raised if a blocking operation exceeds the specified timeout. [Feature #18630]
STDIN.timeout = 1 STDIN.read # => Blocking operation timed out! (IO::TimeoutError)
- Introduce
-
Class
-
Class#attached_object
, which returns the object for which the receiver is the singleton class. RaisesTypeError
if the receiver is not a singleton class. [Feature #12084]class Foo; end Foo.singleton_class.attached_object #=> Foo Foo.new.singleton_class.attached_object #=> #<Foo:0x000000010491a370> Foo.attached_object #=> TypeError: `Foo' is not a singleton class nil.singleton_class.attached_object #=> TypeError: `NilClass' is not a singleton class
-
-
Data
- New core class to represent simple immutable value object. The class is
similar to
Struct
and partially shares an implementation, but has more lean and strict API. [Feature #16122]
- New core class to represent simple immutable value object. The class is
similar to
-
Encoding
- Encoding#replicate has been deprecated and will be removed in 3.3. [Feature #18949]
- The dummy
Encoding::UTF_16
andEncoding::UTF_32
encodings no longer try to dynamically guess the endian based on a byte order mark. UseEncoding::UTF_16BE/UTF_16LE
andEncoding::UTF_32BE/UTF_32LE
instead. This change speeds up getting the encoding of a String. [Feature #18949]
-
Enumerator
- Enumerator.product has been added. Enumerator::Product is the implementation. [Feature #18685]
-

constant or a call toEnumerable#to_set
.

Compatibility issues
Note: Excluding feature bug fixes.
Removed constants
The following deprecated constants are removed.
Fixnum
andBignum
[Feature #12005]Random::DEFAULT
[Feature #17351]Struct::Group
Struct::Passwd
Removed methods
The following deprecated methods are removed.
Dir.exists?
[Feature #17391]File.exists?

[Feature #15231]Kernel#taint
,Kernel#untaint
,Kernel#tainted?
[Feature #16131]Kernel#trust
,Kernel#untrust
,Kernel#untrusted?
[Feature #16131]
Stdlib compatibility issues
Psych
no longer bundles libyaml sources. And alsoFiddle
no longer bundles libffi sources. Users need to install the libyaml/libffi library themselves via the package system. [Feature #18571]
C API updates
Removed C APIs
The following deprecated APIs are removed.
rb_cData
variable.- "taintedness" and "trustedness" functions. [Feature #16131]
Implementation improvements
- Fixed several race conditions in
Kernel#autoload
. [Bug #18782] - Cache invalidation for expressions referencing constants is now
more fine-grained.
RubyVM.stat(:global_constant_state)
was removed because it was closely tied to the previous caching scheme where setting any constant invalidates all caches in the system. New keys,:constant_cache_invalidations
and:constant_cache_misses
, were introduced to help with use cases for:global_constant_state
. [Feature #18589]
JIT
YJIT
- Support arm64 / aarch64 on UNIX platforms.
- Building YJIT requires Rust 1.58.1+. [Feature #18481]
- Physical memory for JIT code is lazily allocated. Unlike Ruby 3.1,
the RSS of a Ruby process is minimized because virtual memory pages
allocated by
--yjit-exec-mem-size
will not be mapped to physical memory pages until actually utilized by JIT code. - Introduce Code GC that frees all code pages when the memory consumption
by JIT code reaches
--yjit-exec-mem-size
.
MJIT
- The MJIT compiler is re-implemented in Ruby as a standard library
mjit
. - MJIT compiler is executed under a forked Ruby process instead of
doing it in a native thread called MJIT worker. [Feature #18968]
- As a result, Microsoft Visual Studio (MSWIN) is no longer supported.
- MinGW is no longer supported. [Feature #18824]
