RELEASE HISTORY

2.1.0 / 2012-11-24

The major change of the 2.1 release is to switch over to `Hash#fetch` as the fundamental CRUD read method inplace of the previous `read` core extension (an alias of `#[]`). This is a pretty fundamental change which required modification of a number of classes. So please do extra-diligence and file an issue if you experience any problems.

In addition, the Hash#read core extension has been renamed to Hash#retrieve to avoid any possible confusion with IO objects. This release also fixes a couple of issues with 1.8 compatibility and makes a few other small enhancements.

Changes:

2.0.1 / 2012-07-06

This minor release fixes an issue with OpenCascade (#13). The key_proc procedure wasn’t being passed along to sub-cascades.

Changes:

2.0.0 / 2012-05-11

This is a big release for Hashery which both culls some of it’s less fitting classes and modules while greatly improving the rest. The first and most immediate change is use of a proper namespace. All classes and modules are now appropriately kept in the `Hashery` namespace. To get the old behavior you can `include Hashery` as the toplevel. For the other changes and improvements dive into the API documentation.

Changes:

1.5.1 / 2012-05-09

This release adds transformative each method to OpenCascade, to ensure each returns an OpenCascade. Also, BasicCascade has been added that is like OpenCascade by fully open by use of BasicObject as a base class.

Changes:

1.5.0 / 2011-11-10

In this release, CoreExt module has been added to encapsulate methods that extend Ruby’s core Hash class (there are only a few). Presently these are only loaded when using `require ‘hashery’`. If you are cherry-picking from Hashery but still want the core extensions, you need to use `require ‘hasery/core_ext’` first. In addition, BasicStruct class now has a key method. And finally this release switches licensing to BSD 2-Clause.

Changes:

1.4.0 / 2011-01-19

This release includes a copy of Ruby Facets’ BasicObject class, which fixes the loading bug of the previous version. This release also renames OpenObject to BasicStruct, which is a much better description of what the class actually provides.

Changes:

1.3.0 / 2010-10-01

This release fixes a minor bug in CastingHash and adds a new PropertyHash class.

Changes:

1.2.0 / 2010-06-04

This release makes two significant changes to the Hashery. First, we have a new shiny library called FuzzyHash by Joshua Hull. It’s a cool idea that allows hash keys to be regular expressions. Secondly, OpenCascade is now a subclass of OpenHash rather than OpenObject (to go along with the changes of the last release), and it now support cascading within Arrays.

Changes:

1.1.0 / 2010-04-28

A follow-up release of Hashery that adds two new libraries: Association and SparseArray. Both of these may seem like odd entries, but they each belong in a unique way. An Association is akin to a single entry Hash –it represents a pairing. While a SpareArray, though compatible with the Array class, is completely under-pinned by a Hash in order to make it efficient when no entries are given for a set of indexes, hence “sparse”.

Changes:

1.0.0 / 2010-04-21

This is the first release of the Facets Hashery. Most of included classes come directly from Ruby Facets, so they have been around a while and are in good working condition.

Some improvements are planned for the next release. In particular the OrderHash and Dictionary, which presently have essentially the same coding, will diverge to target slightly different use cases.
