Ruby Facets v2.4.4 Release Notes

Release Date: 2008-09-01 // over 15 years ago

  • Facets 2.4.4 includes a major bug fix that caused Facets not to load properly, 🛠 having to do with a Time extension. The problem has been fixed. In addition, 🚀 this release put Facets only a few pending adjustments away from full 🚅 Rails/ActiveSupport compatibility.

    🔄 Changes:

    • 10 Major Enhancements

      • Added string/mask providing powerful string manipulation. (#997)
      • BasicObject is now just a synonm for BlankSlate unless Ruby 1.9. (#1000)
      • Added Symbol#plain?, Symbol#query? and Symbol#setter? (#1011)
      • Removed Time#to_date.
      • Due to clobberd RI Docs (!) this should have been in Lore lib date.rb
      • Moved to Lore date.rb. (#1012)
      • Re-added date.rb to lore library, and removed from core. (#1014)
      • Much improved date.rb extension now in Lore library. (#1027)
      • Deprecated kernel/suppress. Use Exception.suppress from now on. (#1040)
      • Improved date.rb and moved to LORE library, and removed from CORE. [major]
      • Deprecated kernel/suppress. Use Exception.suppress from now on. [major]
      • Deprecated String#to_time.
      • This method reqiures the loading of a number of other standard libs.
      • We can reconsider adding it again if we decide these other libs should be core.

    • 17 Minor Enhancements
