*1.0.4* (19th April, 2005)

• Fixed that in some circumstances controllers outside of modules may have hidden ones inside modules. For example, admin/content might have been hidden by /content. 1075 [Nicholas Seckar]
• Fixed inflection of perspectives and similar words 1045 [thijs@vandervossen.net]
• Added Fixnum#even? and Fixnum#odd?
• Fixed problem with classes being required twice. Object#const_missing now uses require_dependency to load files. It used to use require_or_load which would cause models to be loaded twice, which was not good for validations and other class methods 971 [Nicholas Seckar]

*1.0.3* (27th March, 2005)

• Fixed Inflector.pluralize to handle capitalized words 932 [bitsweat]
• Added Object#suppress which allows you to make a saner choice around with exceptions to swallow 980. Example:

    suppress(ZeroDivisionError) { 1/0 }
  

  …instead of:

    1/0 rescue nil # BAD, EVIL, DIRTY.
  

*1.0.2* (22th March, 2005)

• Added Kernel#returning — a Ruby-ized realization of the K combinator, courtesy of Mikael Brockman.

    def foo
      returning values = [] do
        values << 'bar'
        values << 'baz'
      end
    end
  
    foo # => ['bar', 'baz']
  

*1.0.1* (7th March, 2005)

• Fixed Hash#indifferent_access to also deal with include? and fetch and nested hashes 726 [Nicholas Seckar]
• Added Object#blank? — see redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/objectBlank.html 783 [_why the lucky stiff]
• Added inflection rules for "sh" words, like "wish" and "fish" 755 [phillip@pjbsoftware.com]
• Fixed an exception when using Ajax based requests from Safari because Safari appends a \000 to the post body. Symbols can’t have \000 in them so indifferent access would throw an exception in the constructor. Indifferent hashes now use strings internally instead. 746 [Tobias Luetke]
• Added String#to_time and String#to_date for wrapping ParseDate

*1.0.0* (24th February, 2005)

• Added TimeZone as the first of a number of value objects that among others Active Record can use rich value objects using composed_of 688 [Jamis Buck]
• Added Date::Conversions for getting dates in different convenient string representations and other objects
• Added Time::Conversions for getting times in different convenient string representations and other objects
• Added Time::Calculations to ask for things like Time.now.tomorrow, Time.now.yesterday, Time.now.months_ago(4) 580 [DP|Flurin]. Examples:

    "Later today"         => now.in(3.hours),
    "Tomorrow morning"    => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
    "Tomorrow afternoon"  => now.tomorrow.change(:hour => 14),
    "In a couple of days" => now.tomorrow.tomorrow.change(:hour => 9),
    "Next monday"         => now.next_week.change(:hour => 9),
    "In a month"          => now.next_month.change(:hour => 9),
    "In 6 months"         => now.months_since(6).change(:hour => 9),
    "In a year"           => now.in(1.year).change(:hour => 9)
  

• Upgraded to breakpoint 92 which fixes:

    * overload IRB.parse_opts(), fixes #443
      => breakpoints in tests work even when running them via rake
    * untaint handlers, might fix an issue discussed on the Rails ML
    * added verbose mode to breakpoint_client
    * less noise caused by breakpoint_client by default
    * ignored TerminateLineInput exception in signal handler
      => quiet exit on Ctrl-C
  

• Fixed Inflector for words like "news" and "series" that are the same in plural and singular 603 [echion], 615 [marcenuc]
• Added Hash#stringify_keys and Hash#stringify_keys!
• Added IndifferentAccess as a way to wrap a hash by a symbol-based store that also can be accessed by string keys
• Added Inflector.constantize to turn "Admin::User" into a reference for the constant Admin::User
• Added that Inflector.camelize and Inflector.underscore can deal with modules like turning "Admin::User" into "admin/user" and back
• Added Inflector.humanize to turn attribute names like employee_salary into "Employee salary". Used by automated error reporting in AR.
• Added availability of class inheritable attributes to the masses 477 [bitsweat]

    class Foo
      class_inheritable_reader :read_me
      class_inheritable_writer :write_me
      class_inheritable_accessor :read_and_write_me
      class_inheritable_array :read_and_concat_me
      class_inheritable_hash :read_and_update_me
    end
  
    # Bar gets a clone of (not a reference to) Foo's attributes.
    class Bar < Foo
    end
  
    Bar.read_and_write_me == Foo.read_and_write_me
    Bar.read_and_write_me = 'bar'
    Bar.read_and_write_me != Foo.read_and_write_me
  

• Added Inflections as an extension on String, so Inflector.pluralize(Inflector.classify(name)) becomes name.classify.pluralize 476 [bitsweat]
• Added Byte operations to Numeric, so 5.5.megabytes + 200.kilobytes 461 [Marcel Molina]
• Fixed that Dependencies.reload can’t load the same file twice 420 [Kent Sibilev]
• Added Fixnum#ago/until, Fixnum#since/from_now 450 [bitsweat]
• Added that Inflector now accepts Symbols and Classes by calling .to_s on the word supplied
• Added time unit extensions to Fixnum that’ll return the period in seconds, like 2.days + 4.hours.
