= NEWS for Ruby 2.7.0
This document is a list of user visible feature changes made between
releases except for bug fixes.
Note that each entry is kept so brief that no reason behind or reference
information is supplied with. For a full list of changes with all
sufficient information, see the ChangeLog file or Redmine
(e.g. <tt>https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/$FEATURE_OR_BUG_NUMBER</tt>)
== Changes since the 2.6.0 release
=== Language changes
* Pattern matching is introduced as an experimental feature. [Feature #14912]
* Method reference operator, <code>.:</code> is introduced as an
experimental feature. [Feature #12125] [Feature #13581]
* Preparations for the redesign of keyword arguments towards Ruby 3.
[Feature #14183]
* Automatic conversion from a Hash to keyword arguments is deprecated:
when a method call passes a Hash at the last argument, and when the
called method accepts keywords, it is warned.
Please add a double splat operator.
def foo(key: 42); end; foo({key: 42}) # warned
def foo(**kw); end; foo({key: 42}) # warned
def foo(key: 42); end; foo(**{key: 42}) # OK
def foo(opt={}); end; foo( key: 42 ) # OK
* Non-symbol keys are allowed as a keyword argument.
def foo(**kw); p kw; end; foo("str" => 1) #=> {"str"=>1}
* Automatic conversion of keyword arguments and positional ones is warned.
[Feature #14183]
* Proc.new and proc with no block in a method called with a block is warned
now.
* lambda with no block in a method called with a block errs.
* Non-Symbol keys in a keyword arguments hash were prohibited in 2.6.0,
but are now allowed again. [Bug #15658]
* Numbered parameter as the default block parameter is introduced as an
experimental feature. [Feature #4475]
* A beginless range is experimentally introduced. It might not be as useful
as an endless range, but would be good for DSL purpose. [Feature #14799]
ary[..3] # identical to ary[0..3]
where(sales: ..100)
* Setting <code>$;</code> to non-nil value is warned now. Use of it in
String#split is warned too.
* Setting <code>$,</code> to non-nil value is warned now. Use of it in
Array#join is warned too.
* Quoted here-document identifier must end within the same line.
<<"EOS
" # This has been warned since 2.4
EOS
* The flip-flop syntax deprecation is reverted. [Feature #5400]
=== Core classes updates (outstanding ones only)
Complex::
New method::
* Added Complex#<=>. So 0 <=> 0i will not raise NoMethodError.
[Bug #15857]
Encoding::
* Added new encoding CESU-8 [Feature #15931]
Enumerable::
New methods::
* Added Enumerable#filter_map. [Feature #15323]
* Added Enumerable#tally. [Feature #11076]
Enumerator::
New method::
* Added Enumerator::Yielder#to_proc so that a Yielder object
can be directly passed to another method as a block
argument. [Feature #15618]
FrozenError::
New method::
* Added FrozenError#receiver to return the frozen object that
modification was attempted on. To set this object when raising
FrozenError in Ruby code, pass it as the second argument to
FrozenError.new.
GC::
New method::
* Added GC.compact method for compacting the heap.
This function compacts live objects in the heap so that fewer pages may
be used, and the heap may be more CoW friendly. [Feature #15626]
Details on the algorithm and caveats can be found here:
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15626
IO::
New method::
* Added IO#set_encoding_by_bom to check the BOM and set the external
encoding. [Bug #15210]
Integer::
Modified method::
* Integer#[] now supports range operation. [Feature #8842]
0b01001101[2, 4] #=> 0b0011
0b01001100[2..5] #=> 0b0011
0b01001100[2...6] #=> 0b0011
^^^^
Module::
New method::
* Added Module#const_source_location to retrieve the location where a
constant is defined. [Feature #10771]
Modified method::
* Module#autoload? now takes an +inherit+ optional argument, like as
Module#const_defined?. [Feature #15777]
ObjectSpace::WeakMap::
Modified method::
* ObjectSpace::WeakMap#[]= now accepts special objects as either key or
values. [Feature #16035]
Regexp / String::
* Update Unicode version and Emoji version from 11.0.0 to
12.0.0. [Feature #15321]
* Update Unicode version to 12.1.0, adding support for
U+32FF SQUARE ERA NAME REIWA. [Feature #15195]
RubyVM::
Removed method::
* RubyVM.resolve_feature_path moved to
$LOAD_PATH.resolve_feature_path. [Feature #15903] [Feature #15230]
Time::
New methods::
* Added Time#ceil method. [Feature #15772]
* Added Time#floor method. [Feature #15653]
UnboundMethod::
New methods::
* Added UnboundMethod#bind_call method. [Feature #15955]
`umethod.bind_call(obj, ...)` is semantically equivalent to
`umethod.bind(obj).call(...)`. This idiom is used in some libraries to
call a method that is overridden. The added method does the same
without allocation of intermediate Method object.
class Foo
def add_1(x)
x + 1
end
end
class Bar < Foo
def add_1(x) # override
x + 2
end
end
obj = Bar.new
p obj.add_1(1) #=> 3
p Foo.instance_method(:add_1).bind(obj).call(1) #=> 2
p Foo.instance_method(:add_1).bind_call(obj, 1) #=> 2
$LOAD_PATH::
New method::
* Added $LOAD_PATH.resolve_feature_path. [Feature #15903] [Feature #15230]
=== Stdlib updates (outstanding ones only)
Bundler::
* Upgrade to Bundler 2.1.0.pre.1
Bundled from https://github.com/bundler/bundler/commit/a53709556b95a914e874b22ed2116a46b0528852
CGI::
* CGI.escapeHTML becomes 2~5x faster when there's at least one escaped character.
CSV::
* Upgrade to 3.0.9.
See https://github.com/ruby/csv/blob/master/NEWS.md.
Date::
* Date.jisx0301, Date#jisx0301, and Date.parse support the new Japanese
era. [Feature #15742]
Delegator::
* Object#DelegateClass accepts a block and module_evals it in the context
of the returned class, similar to Class.new and Struct.new.
ERB::
* Prohibit marshaling ERB instance.
IRB::
* Introduce syntax highlight inspired by pry.gem to Binding#irb source lines,
REPL input, and inspect output of some core-class objects.
* Introduce multiline mode by Reline.
* Show documents when completion.
* Enable auto indent and save/load history by default.
Net::IMAP::
* Add Server Name Indication (SNI) support. [Feature #15594]
open-uri::
* Warn open-uri's "open" method at Kernel.
Use URI.open instead. [Misc #15893]
* The default charset of text/* media type is UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1.
[Bug #15933]
Pathname::
* Delegates 3 arguments from Pathname.glob to Dir.glob to
accept base: keyword.
Racc::
* Merge 1.4.15 from upstream repository and added cli of racc.
Reline::
* New stdlib that is compatible with readline stdlib by pure Ruby and also
has a multiline mode.
RSS::
* Upgrade to RSS 0.2.8.
See https://github.com/ruby/rss/blob/master/NEWS.md.
RubyGems::
* Upgrade to RubyGems 3.1.0.pre1
Bundled from https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/commit/97b264f0fa248c864b6ee9a23d3ff1cdd217dddb
=== Compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
=== Stdlib compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
profile.rb, Profiler__::
* Removed from standard library. No one maintains it from Ruby 2.0.0.
=== C API updates
=== Implementation improvements
Fiber::
* Allow selecting different coroutine implementation by using
`--with-coroutine=`, e.g.
./confgure --with-coroutine=ucontext
./confgure --with-coroutine=copy
* Replace previous stack cache with fiber pool cache. The fiber pool
allocates many stacks in a single memory region. Stack allocation
becomes O(log N) and fiber creation is amortized O(1). Around 10x
performance improvement was measured in micro-benchmarks.
Thread::
* VM stack memory allocation is now combined with native thread stack,
improving thread allocation performance and reducing allocation related
failures. ~10x performance improvement was measured in micro-benchmarks.
JIT::
* JIT-ed code is recompiled to less-optimized code when an optimization assumption is invalidated.
* Method inlining is performed when a method is considered as pure.
This optimization is still experimental and many methods are NOT considered as pure yet.
* Default value of +--jit-max-cache+ is changed from 1,000 to 100
* Default value of +--jit-min-calls+ is changed from 5 to 10,000
=== Miscellaneous changes
* Support for IA64 architecture has been removed. Hardware for testing was
difficult to find, native fiber code is difficult to implement, and it added
non-trivial complexity to the interpreter. [Feature #15894]
* Require compilers to support C99 [Misc #15347]
* Details of our dialect: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/wiki/C99
* Ruby's upstream repository is changed from Subversion to Git.
* https://git.ruby-lang.org/ruby.git
* RUBY_REVISION class is changed from Integer to String.
* RUBY_DESCRIPTION includes Git revision instead of Subversion's one.
