-= NEWS for Ruby 2.3.0
-
-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 2.2.0 release
-
-=== Language changes
-
-* frozen-string-literal pragma:
-
- * new pragma, frozen-string-literal has been experimentally introduced.
- [Feature #8976]
- * besides, --enable/--disable=frozen-string-literal options also have
- been introduced. [Feature #8976]
- * command line options --debug or --debug=frozen-string-literal enable
- additional debugging mode which shows created location with at frozen
- object error (RuntimeError).
- [Feature #11725]
-
-* safe navigation operator:
-
- * new method call syntax, `object&.foo', method #foo is called on
- `object' if it is not nil.
- this is similar to `try!' in Active Support, except:
- * method name is syntactically required
- obj.try! {} # valid
- obj&. {} # syntax error
- * arguments are evaluated only if a call is made:
- obj.try!(:foo, bar()) # bar() is always evaluated
- obj&.foo(bar()) # bar() is conditionally evaluated
- * attribute assignment is valid
- obj&.attr += 1
- [Feature #11537]
-
-* the did_you_mean gem:
-
- * When a NameError or NoMethodError occurs because of a typo in the name,
- the did_you_mean gem automatically suggests other names similar to the
- method name.
-
- "Yuki".starts_with?("Y")
- # => NoMethodError: undefined method `starts_with?' for "Yuki":String
- # Did you mean? start_with?
-
-* indented here document:
-
- * new string literal, here document starts with `<<~`.
- refer doc/syntax/literals.rdoc for more details.
- [Feature #9098]

-
-=== C API updates
-
-* rb_define_class_id_under() now raises a TypeError exception when the
- class is already defined but its superclass does not match the given
- superclass, as well as definitions in ruby level.

-
-* BeOS is no longer supported
-
-* Borland-C is no longer supported
-
-* Haiku now stable and best effort
-
-=== Implementation improvements
-
-* Optimize Proc#call to eliminate method frame construction.
- [Feature #11569]
-
-* Reconsidering method entry data structure.
- [Bug #11278]
-
-* Introducing new table data structure for ID keys tables used by
- method table and so on. New table structure is simple and fast
- than st_table. [Feature #11420]
-
-* Machine code level tuning for object allocation and method calling
- code. r52099, r52254
-
-* RubyVM::InstructionSequence is extended for future improvement.
- [Feature #11788]
-
-* Case dispatch is now optimized for all special constant literals
- including nil, true, and false. Previously, only literal strings,
- symbols, integers and floats compiled to optimized case dispatch.
- [Feature #11769]
-
-* Instance variables on non-pure Ruby classes (T_DATA, T_FILE,
- etc..) is less expensive to store than before. [Feature #11170]
-
-* All accesses to members of big Struct objects are performed in
- constant-time. Previously, Struct elements beyond the first 10
- 10 elements used a linear scan. [Feature #10585]
-
-* The Set class got several speed up.
- [Misc #10754], [r52591]
-
-* Socket and I/O-related improvements
-
- * Calling overhead of most of new keyword-using I/O methods in
- [Feature #11229] is reduced by avoiding the inefficient C API
- to parse keywords. [Feature #11339]
-
- * The standard library is updated to use the improved
- exception-free non-blocking I/O from [Feature #11229].
- This has the additional benefit of quieter $DEBUG output in
- addition to reducing expensive exceptions. [Feature #11044]
-
- * (Linux-only) waiting on a single FD anywhere in the stdlib no longer
- uses select(2), making it immune to slowdowns with high-numbered FDs.
- [Feature #11081] [Feature #11377]
-
-* CGI.escapeHTML is optimized with C extention.
