= NEWS for Ruby 2.7.0
This document is a list of user visible feature changes made between
releases except for bug fixes.
Note that each entry is kept so brief that no reason behind or reference
information is supplied with. For a full list of changes with all
sufficient information, see the ChangeLog file or Redmine
(e.g. <tt>https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/$FEATURE_OR_BUG_NUMBER</tt>)
== Changes since the 2.6.0 release
=== Language changes
* Pattern matching is introduced as an experimental feature. [Feature #14912]
* Method reference operator, <code>.:</code> is introduced as an
experimental feature. [Feature #12125] [Feature #13581]
* Proc.new and proc with no block in a method called with a block is warned
now.
* lambda with no block in a method called with a block errs.
* Non-Symbol keys in a keyword arguments hash were prohibited in 2.6.0,
but are now allowed again. [Bug #15658]
* Numbered parameter as the default block parameter is introduced as an
experimental feature. [Feature #4475]
* A beginless range is experimentally introduced. It might not be as useful
as an endless range, but would be good for DSL purpose. [Feature #14799]
ary[..3] # identical to ary[0..3]
where(sales: ..100)
* Setting <code>$;</code> to non-nil value is warned now. Use of it in
String#split is warned too.
* Setting <code>$,</code> to non-nil value is warned now. Use of it in
Array#join is warned too.
* Quoted here-document identifier must end within the same line.
<<"EOS
" # This has been warned since 2.4
EOS
* Pipeline operator is experimentally added.
This code equals to the next code.
foo()
|> bar 1, 2
|> display
foo()
.bar(1, 2)
.display
=== Core classes updates (outstanding ones only)
Complex::
New method::
* Added Complex#<=>. So 0 <=> 0i will not raise NoMethodError.
[Bug #15857]
Encoding::
* Added new encoding CESU-8 [Feature #15931]
Enumerable::
New method::
* Added Enumerable#filter_map. [Feature #15323]
* Added Enumerable#tally. [Feature #11076]

argument. [Feature #15618]
FrozenError::
New method::
* Added FrozenError#receiver to return the frozen object that
modification was attempted on. To set this object when raising
FrozenError in Ruby code, pass it as the second argument to
FrozenError.new.
GC::
New method::
* Added GC.compact method for compacting the heap.
This function compacts live objects in the heap so that fewer pages may
be used, and the heap may be more CoW friendly. [Feature #15626]
Details on the algorithm and caveats can be found here:
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15626

0b01001101[2, 4] #=> 0b0011
0b01001100[2..5] #=> 0b0011
0b01001100[2...6] #=> 0b0011
^^^^
Module::
New method::
* Added Module#const_source_location to retreive the location where a
constant is defined. [Feature #10771]
Modified method::
* Module#autoload? now takes an +inherit+ optional argument, like as

CGI::
* CGI.escapeHTML becomes 2~5x faster when there's at least one escaped character.
CSV::

=== Compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
=== Stdlib compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
profile.rb, Profiler__::
* Removed from standard library. No one maintains it from Ruby 2.0.0.
=== C API updates
=== Implementation improvements
Thread::
* VM stack memory allocation is now combined with native thread stack,
improving thread allocation performance and reducing allocation related
failures. ~10x performance improvement was measured in micro-benchmarks.
JIT::
* JIT-ed code is recompiled to less-optimized code when an optimization assumption is invalidated.
* Method inlining is performed when a method is considered as pure.
This optimization is still experimental and many methods are NOT considered as pure yet.
* Default value of +--jit-max-cache+ is changed from 1,000 to 100
* Default value of +--jit-min-calls+ is changed from 5 to 10,000
=== Miscellaneous changes
* Support for IA64 architecure has ben removed. Harware for testing was
difficult to find, native fiber code is difficult to implement, and it added
non-trivial complexity to the interpreter. [Feature #15894]
* Require compilers to support C99 [Misc #15347]
* Details of our dialect: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/wiki/C99
* Upstream repository is changed from Subversion to Git.
* https://git.ruby-lang.org/ruby.git
* RUBY_REVISION class is changed from Integer to String.
* RUBY_DESCRIPTION includes Git revision instead of Subversion's one.
