Multiple assignment in conditional expression is now allowed. [Feature #10617]
Refinements is enabled at method by Symbol#to_proc. [Feature #9451]
Refinements is enabled with Kernel#send and BasicObject#__send__. [Feature #11476]
Rescue modifier now applicable to method arguments. [Feature #12686]
Toplevel return is now allowed. [Feature #4840]
Core classes updates (outstanding ones only)
Array
Array#concat [Feature #12333]
Now takes multiple arguments.
Array#max and Array#min. [Feature #12172]
This may cause a tiny incompatibility: if you redefine Enumerable#max and call max to an Array, your redefinition will be now ignored. You should also redefine Array#max.
Array#pack [Feature #12754]
Now takes optional argument `buffer:' to reuse already allocated buffer.
Array#sum [Feature #12217]
This is different from Enumerable#sum in that Array#sum doesn't depend on the definition of each method.
Comparable
Comparable#clamp. [Feature #10594]
Dir
Dir.empty?. [Feature #10121]
Enumerable
Enumerable#chunk called without a block now return an Enumerator [Feature #2172]
Enumerable#sum [Feature #12217]
Enumerable#uniq [Feature #11090]
Enumerator::Lazy
Enumerator::Lazy#chunk_while [GH-1186]
Enumerator::Lazy#uniq [Feature #11090]
File
File.empty?. [Feature #9969]
Float
Float#ceil, Float#floor, and Float#truncate now take an optional digits, as well as Float#round. [Feature #12245]
Float#round now takes an optional keyword argument, half option, and the default behavior is round-up. [Bug #12548] [Bug #12958]
half option can be one of :even, :up, and :down. [Feature #12953]
Hash
Hash#compact and Hash#compact! [Feature #11818]
Hash#transform_values and Hash#transform_values! [Feature #12512]
Integer
Fixnum and Bignum are unified into Integer [Feature #12005]
Integer#ceil, Integer#floor, and Integer#truncate now take an optional digits, as well as Integer#round. [Feature #12245]
Integer#digits for extracting columns of place-value notation [Feature #12447]
Integer#round now takes an optional keyword argument, half option, and the default behavior is round-up now. [Bug #12548] [Bug #12958]
half option can be one of :even, :up, and :down. [Feature #12953]
IO
IO#gets, IO#readline, IO#each_line, IO#readlines, IO.foreach now takes an optional keyword argument, chomp flag. [Feature #12553]
Kernel
Kernel#clone now takes an optional keyword argument, freeze flag. [Feature #12300]
MatchData
MatchData#named_captures [Feature #11999]
MatchData#values_at supports named captures [Feature #9179]
Module
Module#refine accepts a module as the argument now. [Feature #12534]
