I think I've found another change.
I don't know if this is on purpose.

But at some point before ruby 1.8.6 the following code worked;

>> Time.now.strftime("%d %h '%y")                                       
=> "02 Sep '07"
>> Time.now.strftime("%d %b '%y")                                       
=> "02 Sep '07"

But now in 1.8.6;

>> Time.now.strftime("%d %h '%y")
=> ""
>> Time.now.strftime("%d %b '%y")
=> "02 Sep '07"

ie. seemingly support for "%h" has been removed.
