Summary of the changes since 1.6.7:
: getopts.rb
Rewrote to fix some bugs and complete features.
- Accept options with the colon in the first argument;
getopts("a:bcd:") is equivalent to getopts("bc", "a:", "d:").
- Do not discard the argument that caused an error.
- Do not discard '-', which commonly stands for stdin or stdout.
- Allow specifying a long option with a value using '='.
(command --long-option=value)
- Stop reading options when it meets a non-option argument.
: Marshal.dump
Fixed where Marshal::dump(foo, proc{...}) fails. (which was
accidentally broken between 1.6.6 and 1.6.7)
Summary of the changes since 1.6.6:
: Digest::SHA2
Fixed where it had a couple of off-by-one errors in the algorithm
implementation.
: Digest
Fixed where it polluted namespace by defining some global symbols
that conflict with OpenSSL.
: Syslog
Changed from a singleton class to a module for ease of use, keeping
backward compatibility intact.
: URI::join
Added.
: URI
Fixed where some methods did not conform to the RFC's in some
(rather trivial) points.
: Float()
Enhanced so that it allows underscores between digits.
: net/protocol: Protocol#start
Now returns the return value of the given block.
: net/protocol
Fixed to set timeout limit by default, and set read_timeout
dynamically.
: net/smtp
Fixed not to resolve HELO domain automatically.
: net/http: HTTP#{request_get,request_post}
Renamed from get2 and post2, respectively.
: net/pop: POP#auth_only
Fixed.
: $SAFE / block
Fixed not to pass a tainted block if $SAFE > 0.
: ruby-mode.el
Now handles nested parentheses in a string and terminators in #{},
and fontifies instance/class/global variables that start with '_'.
: Time#{gmtoff,gmt_offset,utc_offset}
Added.
: time.rb
Imported. (which is formerly known as "timex.rb")
: bugfixes
Numeral bugs have been fixed. There are too many to mention here.
Please refer to ChangeLog.
Summary of the changes since 1.6.5:
: Syslog module
Imported.
: Digest module
Added as a replacement for md5 and sha1 modules.
require 'digest/md5'
include Digest
md = MD5.new
md << "abc"
puts md
puts MD5.hexdigest("123")
: Struct
Fixed to check frozen and taint status before modifying.
: String#rindex
Fixed with a bug when a regex is given. [ruby-dev:13843]
"foobar".index("b") #=> 3
"foobar".index(/b/) #=> 3
"foobar".rindex("b") #=> 3
"foobar".rindex(/b/) #=> nil <- ???
: require
Fixed with handling of a `~' to allow an extention to be omitted.

: String#each_line
Fixed to properly propagate taintness. [ruby-dev:13755]
: NKF::nkf
Fixed to properly propagate taintness. [ruby-dev:13754]
: ruby -x
Fixed with a bug that when a `-x' is specified the interpreter might exit
without running a script. [ruby-dev:13752]
: attr_*
Fixed to raise an error when unwanted parameters are given.
[ruby-dev:13748]
class C
def initialize
@message = 'ok'
end
attr_reader :message
end
puts C.new.message(1,2,3) # raises ArgumentError
: Readline::completion_append_characte
: Readline::completion_append_character=
Added.
: Socket::SO_*
Added.
: require / $LOAD_PATH
Changed to use a new algorithm to locate a library.
Now when requiring "foo", the following directories are searched for
the library in the order listed.
$prefix/lib/ruby/site_ruby/$ver/foo.rb
$prefix/lib/ruby/site_ruby/$ver/foo.so
$prefix/lib/ruby/site_ruby/$ver/$arch/foo.rb
$prefix/lib/ruby/site_ruby/$ver/$arch/foo.so
$prefix/lib/ruby/site_ruby/foo.rb
$prefix/lib/ruby/site_ruby/foo.so
$prefix/lib/ruby/$ver/foo.rb
$prefix/lib/ruby/$ver/foo.so
$prefix/lib/ruby/$ver/$arch/foo.rb
$prefix/lib/ruby/$ver/$arch/foo.so
./foo.rb
./foo.so
The previous behavior had a potential security risk because a
foo.rb (if exists) in the current directory is located prior to a
foo.so in $prefix/lib/ruby/site_ruby/$ver/$arch.
[ruby-bugs (PR#140)]
: lib/sync.rb
: lib/mutex_m.rb
Fixed for obj.extend(Sync_m) and obj.extend(Mutex_m).
: $SAFE / load
Fixed with a bug that a file with a tainted filename can be loaded when
1 <= $SAFE <= 3 and the second argument is true. [ruby-dev:13481]
$SAFE = 1
filename = "foo"
filename.taint
load(filename, true)
#=> true
: Regexp
Fixed for the following case. [ruby-talk:16233]
ruby -e 'puts "OK" if /(.|a)bd/ =~ "cxbd"'
ruby -e 'puts "OK" if /(a|.)bd/ =~ "cxbd"'
#=> OK
: $SAFE / def
Fixed so defining a new method is allowed under $SAFE == 4, which
previously wasn't.
ruby -e '$SAFE = 4; def a; end'
=> -e:1: Insecure operation `(null)' at level 4 (SecurityError)
: IO#ioctl
Fixed to accept a Bignum as the second argument.
Summary of the changes since 1.6.3:
: Hash#replace
Fixed so the following code does not fail in core dump.
h = { 10 => 100, 20 => 200 }
h2 = { }
h.each { |k, v|
if (k == 10)
h.delete(10)
h2.replace(h) # => Abort core dumped
end
}
: $SAFE / File::unlink
Changed to be forbidden under $SAFE >= 2.
: ruby -T4
Fixed. ARGV is now properly marked as tainted so ruby -T4 no longer
fails in SecurityError.
: Regexp
Fixed. Now \1 .. \9 always mean backreferences, and referring to
unclosed/unmatched parentheses always fails.
: String taint infection
Fixed for the following cases. [ruby-dev:13340]
# []=
s1 = "abc"
s2 = "cde".taint
s1[0]= s2
p s1.tainted? # => false
# crypt
s = "abc".taint
p s.crypt("cd").tainted? # => false
# ljust
s = "abc".taint
p s.ljust(10).tainted? # => false
# rjust
s = "abc".taint
p s.rjust(10).tainted? # => false
# center
s = "abc".taint
p s.center(10).tainted? # => false
Now they will all be marked as tainted.
: rb_yield_0()
Fixed so it adjusts a 1-element array when yielded from C API, as
well. Previously, the following code produced a wrong result:
class X
include Enumerable
def each(&block)
block.call(1)
block.call(2)
block.call(3)
end
end
x = X.new
p x.to_a #=> [[1], [2], [3]]
Now it properly produces [1, 2, 3].
: $SAFE / alias
Fixed so aliasing global variables is disallowed under $SAFE == 4.
((<ruby-dev:13287>))
: Open3::popen3
Fixed to do exit! instead of exit so the dying process does not
invoke at_exit. ((<ruby-dev:13170>))
: SizedQueue#pop
Fixed so the following code does not cause a dead lock.
((<ruby-dev:13169>))
ruby -r thread -e 'q = SizedQueue.new(1); q.push(1);'
-e 'Thread.new{sleep 1; q.pop}; q.push(1);'
: SizedQueue#max=
Fixed so it really works. ((<ruby-dev:13170>))
: Queue
: SizedQueue
Fixed to rescue ThreadError in case the thread is dead just before
calling Thread#run. ((<ruby-dev:13194>))
: Array#&
: Array#|
: Array#uniq
Fixed so they do not freeze the elements. ((<ruby-list:29665>))
(%w(foo bar) & %w(foo baz))[0].upcase!
=> -:1:in `upcase!': can't modify frozen string (TypeError)
%w(foo bar bar baz).uniq[0].upcase!
=> -:1:in `upcase!': can't modify frozen string (TypeError)
: shell.rb
shell.rb 0.6 is newly imported as a standard library, along with
documents.
: forwardable.rb
forwardable.rb 1.1 is newly imported as a standard library, along with
documents.
: irb & irb-tools
irb and irb-tools are updated to 0.7.4 and 0.7.1, respectively.
: Daylight saving time
Fixed so it is handled correctly. [ruby-bugs-ja (PR#46)]
env TZ=America/Managua ruby -e 'p Time.local(1998,12,1,0,59,59)'
=> Mon Nov 30 01:59:59 EST 1998

: SIGINFO
Support SIGINFO of 4.4BSD. [ruby-bugs-ja (PR#45)]
: Modifier rescue
Fixed so the following code does not emit a parse error any more.
((<ruby-dev:13073>)), ((<ruby-dev:13292>))
raise "" rescue []
raise "" rescue (p "foo"; true)
raise "" rescue -1
raise "" rescue (-1)
: Thread
Fixed so the following code does not cause a dead lock any more.
Thread.start { Thread.stop }
sleep

ruby 1.6.3 (2001-03-19) [i586-linux]
: Module#const_defined?
: Module#const_get
: Module#const_set
Fixed so they do not access to anything other than constants.
((<ruby-dev:13019>))
: Marshal.dump
Improved so it dumps Float with better precision: "%.12g" -> "%.16g"
((<ruby-list:29349>))
: Fixnum#[]
Fixed with a bug on the platforms which sizeof(long) > sizeof(int).
: Regular Expression
Fixed with a couple of minor bugs. ((<ruby-talk:13658>)), ((<ruby-talk:13744>))
: retry
Fixed so the following code works correctly again. ((<ruby-talk:13957>))
def WHILE(cond)
return if not cond
yield
retry
end
i=0
WHILE(i<3) {
print i
i+=1

f.seek(2**30-1, 0)
f.puts
f.flush
p f.stat.size

: ((<Float>))#modulo, ((<Float>))#divmod
Fixed. ((<ruby-dev:12718>))
: ((<ObjectSpace>))#_id2ref
Fixed so it does not raise a exception.
: recursive malloc problem
Fixed by preallocating a buffer for stdio using setvbuf().
((<ruby-dev:12795>))
: ((<File>))#flock
Fixed so it does not raise Errno::EACCES when the file to flock is
already locked. (only applicable to the platforms which lack
flock())
: ((<File::Stat>)).new(filename)
Added. ((<ruby-dev:12803>))
: ((<Bignum>))#% miscalculation
(Re-)Fixed.
a = 677330545177305025495135714080

: ((<Marshal>))
Fixed so a Bignum is properly restored through dump & load.
: Universal Naming Convention(UNC) support (win32)
Added. Now the UNC form (//host/share) is supported. Use slash
(`(({/}))') instead of backslash (`(({\}))') for separating
components.
: ((<Dir>)).glob (win32)
Fixed so it works for the current directory as well.
p Dir["./*.c"]
=> []
