rubychanges：Ruby编程语言的全面变更日志

--- title: Introduction next: "/2.6.html" permalink: "/index.html" --- ## The Ruby Changes [](https://www.patreon.com/zverok) This site is dedicated to history of [Ruby language](https://www.ruby-lang.org/) evolution. Basically, it is just the same information that each Ruby version's [NEWS](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/NEWS.md) file contains, just in more readable and informative manner. > <big>Latest version: <b><a href="3.0.html" rel='nofollow' onclick='return false;'>3.0</a></b></big> ([2.7](2.7.html) − [2.6](2.6.html) −[2.5](2.5.html) − [2.4](2.4.html)) Main goals: * **Full**: unlike most of "What's new in Ruby x.y?" blog posts, information here targets to cover all the `NEWS` file of current Ruby version; * **Comprehensive**: unlike the `NEWS` file itself (and most of blog-posts, too), the site provides full context for each change: * Where and how it was discussed; * Related documentation at ruby-doc.org; * Code examples; * Reasoning for the change, if known. * **Concise**: given two goals above, content still tries to stay short and focused, so the changes could be quickly navigated through; * **Well-structured**: both regarding order/explanations of each particular change, and design of the site, it is intended to be easily and logically navigated. * **Open**: the source of changelog is [available](https://github.com/rubyreferences/rubychanges) on the GitHub and is open for fixes and suggestions. Some things to know about the content: * Structure and grouping of the information, as well as the illustrative examples, are mostly decided by this site's [author](https://zverok.github.io). I am trying to make it as useful and logical as humanly possible, but I have my own opinions about what is important, and what is not, what is related and what is not. * Maybe "Highlights" section at the top of each version changelog is more subjective than the rest of the content, but it is totally optional, you can skip it. * The site is dedicated to the **language**, not its **implementation(s)**, therefore at the moment it **does not** include the description of MRI implementation changes, optimizations and internals. * ...and also some minor _behavior_ changes are excluded. * I want to _eventually_ cover Ruby versions down to 1.8, or maybe even earlier, but it is currently work-in-progress, with the first priority of the recent release of **[Ruby 2.6](2.6.html)**, and then going down version by version in my free time. * **UPD 2019-06-06:** **[Ruby 2.5](2.5.html)** is now covered too. Despite being 1.5 years old news, I believe it is still important to cover it in the same manner as the recent version was. * **UPD 2019-10-14:** **[Ruby 2.4](2.4.html)** changelog added, and some other content changed. See [History](/History.html) for detail. * **UPD 2019-12-27:** Newly released **[Ruby 2.7](2.7.html)** changelog added. * **UPD 2019-12-25:** Newly released **[Ruby 3.0](3.0.html)** changelog added. _The source of the site can be found at [GitHub](https://github.com/rubyreferences/rubychanges). See also the [Contributing](Contributing.html) section._ ## Credits and licenses * The source of information is NEWS files from Ruby repository. * Book theme is initially borrowed from [mdBook](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/mdBook) project. * The work in this repository (text, scripts and custom additions to design) is made by [Victor Shepelev](https://zverok.github.io) and should be considered **Public Domain**.
