Ruby Facets v2.6.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2009-07-03 // almost 15 years ago-
🚚 Facets 2.6.0 removes htmlfilter.rb and cssfilter.rb due to licensing 📦 incompatability. These scripts are now available as a separate package 🚚 called 'htmlfilter'. Also removed are a few MORE libs that were too expiremental and/or not robust enough. Effectively this finishes up 🚀 the "spring cleaning" of the MORE lib mentioned a few releases back.
But it also marks a new start in trimming MORE down further. We have decided to do this for three reasons 1) Some of the MORE libs would 👍 be better served as separate projects. 2) Facets will become a tighter library, primarily focused on extensions. And 3) all libraries involved will become easier to maintain and thus more robust in the long run.
🚀 This release also fixes an important arity bug with the recently added Module#extend method --one of the very few actual core overrides in Facets.
🔄 Changes:
7 Major Enhancements
- Removed htmlfilter.rb due to licensing issues.
- Also removed cssfilter.rb ('gem install htmlfilter' now)
- Removed rwdelegator.rb, simply not a robust solution.
- Removed buildable.rb, api is too confusing.
- Removed meta.rb which was not very useful and too expiremental anyway.
- Removed prototype.rb, which needs it's own project.
3 Minor Enhancements
- Removed Kernel#HERE as it simply cannot work. (Ruby 1.9.2 will offer #source_location for the same, btw)
- Returned binding/opvars to core.
- Added Integer#length as suggested by Victor H. Goff III.
1 Bug Fix
- Fixed arity issue with Module#extend.
