Ruby Facets v2.8.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2009-11-05 // over 14 years ago

  • Facets 2.8 effectively completes the MORE library clean-up which peaked 🚀 with the previous 2.7 release. Another eight libraries have been deprecated, a few of them spun-off to a separate project. However, this verison also ⏪ reverts a few of the deprecations made in the last version. These libs 👀 will remain in Facets's MORE library for the forseeable future.

    This version effectively concludes the MORE library clean-up. The next, and last version before Facets 3.0, will focus on "auditing" the CORE library.
