Replace ’%e’ from long and short time formats as Windows does not support it. 2344. [Tom Ward <tom@popdog.net>]

Add :rfc822 as an option for Time#to_s (to get rfc822-formatted times)

Clean logger is compatible with both 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 Logger. 2263 [Michael Schuerig <michael@schuerig.de>]

    inflect.irregular 'octopus', 'octopi'

    inflect.uncountable "equipment"
  end

Added String#at, String#from, String#to, String#first, String#last in ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::String::Access to ease access to individual characters and substrings in a string serving basically as human names for range access.
Make Time#last_month work when invoked on the 31st of a month.

Fixed conflict with Glue gem 1606 [Rick Olson]
Added new rules to the Inflector to deal with more unusual plurals mouse/louse => mice/lice, information => information, ox => oxen, virus => viri, archive => archives 1571, 1583, 1490, 1599, 1608 [foamdino@gmail.com/others]

Made 1.year == 365.25.days to account for leap years. This allows you to do User.find(:all, :conditions => [‘birthday > ?’, 50.years.ago]) without losing a lot of days. 1488 [tuxie@dekadance.se]
Added an exception if calling id on nil to WhinyNil 584 [kevin-temp@writesoon.com]

*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 [Jeremy Kemper]
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 [Jeremy Kemper]

  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 [Jeremy Kemper]
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 [Jeremy Kemper]
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.
