Subject: [ANN] Erubis 2.4.1 released - a fast and extensible eRuby implementation

Hi all,

I have released Erubis 2.4.1.
http://www.kuwata-lab.com/erubis/
Erubis is another eRuby implementation which is very fast and
extensible than ERB and eruby.

This is a bugfix release.

  enhancements:

    - |
      Add new section 'evaluate(context) v.s. result(binding)' to
user's guide.
      This section describes why Erubis::Eruby#evaluate(context) is
recommended
      rather than Erubis::Eruby#result(binding).
      User's Guide > Other Topics > evaluate(context) v.s.
result(binding)
      http://www.kuwata-lab.com/erubis/users-guide.06.html#topics-context-vs-binding

    - |
      Add new command-line property '--docwrite={true|false}' to
      Erubis::Ejavascript.
      If this property is true then 'document.write(_buf.join(""));'
is used
      as postamble and if it is false then '_buf.join("")' is used.
      Default is true for compatibility reason but it will be false in
the
      future release.
      (This feature was proposed by D.Dribin. Thank you.)

  bugfix:

    - |
      When using Erubis::Eruby#evaluate(), changing local variables in
      templates have affected to variables accessible with
TOPLEVEL_BINDING.
      It means that if you change variables in templates, it is
possible to
      change variables in main program.
      This was a bug and is now fixed not to affect to variables in
main
      program.

      ex. template.rhtml
      --------------------
      <% for x in @items %>
      item = <%= x %>
      <% end %>
      --------------------

      ex. main-program.rb
      --------------------
      require 'erubis'
      x = 10
      items = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
      eruby = Erubis::Eruby.new(File.read('template.rhtml'))
      s = eruby.evaluate(:items=>items)
      print s
      $stderr.puts "*** debug: x=#{x.inspect}"  #=> x="baz" (2.4.0)
                                                #=> x=10    (2.4.1)
      --------------------

      PercentLineEnhancer was very slow. Now performance problem is
solved.
