[ruby-dev:28681] Block parameter and multiple values Takaaki Tateishi asked about the current status of new block parameter behavior in Ruby 2.0. He also made a summary[1] of the new specification from Rite page on RubyGarden[2] and Matz' weblog[3]. [1] Takaaki's summary: http://pub.cozmixng.org/~the-rwiki/?cmd=view;name=Ruby2.0BlockParameterAndMultipleValueAssignment [2] Rite: http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/Rite [3] Matz' weblog: http://www.rubyist.net/~matz/20060323.html#p01 Matz added his idea to the summary page. Some of the ideas are being added to the CVS HEAD. [ruby-dev:28689] digest.rb Tanaka Akira posted digest.rb to make requiring Digest library simple. We can use any digest algorithm by this script: module Digest autoload "MD5", "digest/md5" autoload "RMD160", "digest/rmd160" autoload "SHA1", "digest/sha1" autoload "SHA256", "digest/sha2" autoload "SHA384", "digest/sha2" autoload "SHA512", "digest/sha2" end He added that the script might be a good place to hold common Digest methods, such as hexdigest_file. [ruby-dev:28708] 1.8.5 release schedule? Matz talked about the 1.8.5 release in RubyKaigi2006(the 1st Ruby Conference in Japan). mput asked about the the release schedule and he replied that the release date will be the middle of August. ruby-dev summary index: http://i.loveruby.net/en/ruby-dev-summary.html
