This changelog is not maintained anymore. To have a look at Utilrb's history, inspect the git log at gitorious.org/orocos-toolchain/utilrb.git

Version 1.4.0¶ ↑

• release the latest git version. utilrb has not seen any release for a very long time, and did not move so much anyway. The reason for this release is mainly to fix rubygem installation between older rubygem version and newest ruby version

Version 1.3.4¶ ↑

• fixes a minor problem with PkgConfig handling on broken installations. pkg-config is picky about all dependencies being installed on the system. The issue is that pkg-config –list-all will stop in the middle of the enumeration if one of the packages misses some dependencies. PkgConfig.has_package? was using –list-all through PkgConfig.each_package, and therefore was wrongly returning false sometimes. Moved it to pkg-config –exists, which works.

Version 1.3.3¶ ↑

• fixed a problem with WeakRef crashing on 1.8.7p172. This version of weakref should now work on every versions of 1.8.6 and 1.8.7

• made ColumnFormatter more configurable

• made the Rakefile callable with ruby's binaries that are not called 'ruby'

Version 1.3.2¶ ↑

• make utilrb depend only on standard C++, no boost

Version 1.3.1¶ ↑

• quickfix release: update the Manifest file for Hoe

Version 1.3¶ ↑

• added Utilrb::WeakRef, a much leaner version of the standard WeakRef: implemented in C++, not a subclass of Delegate (delegate is very costly).

Version 1.2¶ ↑

• compatibility with ruby 1.9. Some feature are specific 1.8: IO#clearerr, Proc#line, Proc#file and Proc#same_body?.

• misc fixes to Time#to_hms and Time.from_hms

• migrate to facets >= 2.4.0

• fix Object#address on 64bit architectures

• new functionality:

  • socket-related tools (see Socket)

  • Dir#empty?

Version 1.1¶ ↑

• changes and fixes:

  • fix documentation here and there

  • make sure all defined to_s methods handle recursion

  • defined Module#cached_enum: returns an Enumerator method for a “each_” method, cachin the enumerator object. Works also for iteration with one argument (caching one Enumerator by argument)

  • fix Time.from_hms when the millisecond field has leading zeroes

  • optimizations here and there:

    • Array#to_value_set does not rely on rb_iterate

    • specific implementation of ValueSet#dup

    • more generally, avoid object allocation where possible

  • ColumnFormatter object: formats CSV output for display

Version 1.0¶ ↑

Bumped version number because of incompatible changes. Make it 1.0 since having 0. version numbers for this kind of library is completely meaningless

• incompatible changes:

  • Enumerable#+ acts on too many objects. Define it only on Enumerable::Enumerator

  • remove automatic convertion into ValueSet for methods which were doing it

  • removed Queue#get: fastthread is now the preferred threading library in Ruby 1.8.6, so Queue#get cannot be implemented anymore

• new features:

  • PkgConfig class

  • define Proc#same_body?, Proc#file and Proc#line

  • Module#attr_predicate

  • 'since', 'until' and block parameters for Exception#full_message

  • ValueSet#intersects? (more efficient than checking that the intersection is empty)

• changes and fixes:

  • properly handle singleton classes in has_ancestor?

  • properly handle recursion in ValueSet#to_s and Array#to_s

  • add the 'setup' task on the Rakefile to build the C extension

  • make Module#has_ancestor? work event if the C extension is not built

Version 0.2.3¶ ↑

• new features:

  • BenchmarkAllocation, a Benchmark-like interface to benchmark object allocation

  • ValueSet#delete_if

  • Time#from_hms takes a time as “h:m:s.ms” and builds the corresponding Time object. Note that “s”, “s.ms”, “m:s”, “m:s.ms”, … are accepted formats

• changes and fixes:

  • define Queue#get only if we are using Ruby's core Queue. The current implementation is incompatible with fastthread for instance (and fastthhread's maintainer does not want get on its Queue). Included a patch to define Queue#get on fastthread

  • fix ValueSet#== raising if the argument is not a ValueSet

  • fix brain-dead SequenceEnumerator#+, which was changing its receiver

Version 0.2.2¶ ↑

The “don't forget to bump version number” release. 0.2 was supposed to be 0.2.1

• new features:

  • Queue#get: waits for the queue to be not empty and returns all elements at once. A non_block parameter is given which makes get() return [] if the queue is empty

• changes:

  • Array#to_s and Hash#to_s now enclose the result in [] and {}. The difference with inspect is that we call to_s on the elements.

Version 0.2.1¶ ↑

• new features:

  • Kernel#is_singleton?

  • Module#inherited_enumerable (class_inherited_enumerable on steroids)

  • Module#attribute() can be used in singleton classes (previously we had to call class_attribute() in the class itself)

  • UnboundMethod#call(obj, *args, &block) calls the method on obj with the provided arguments (does m.bind(obj).call(*args, &block))

• changes:

  • changed semantics of Module::include for inclusion of modules in modules: the source_module::ClassExtension gets included in target_module::ClassExtension. Previously, it was extending the target's singleton class. This way, Module really acts as a mixin for both class methods and instance methods

Version 0.1¶ ↑

• Initial release
