RDoc 2.5.11

Eric Hodel | Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:55:16 GMT

RDoc is an application that produces documentation for one or more Ruby source files. RDoc includes the rdoc and ri tools for generating and displaying online documentation.

At this point in time, RDoc 2.x is a work in progress and may incur further API changes beyond what has been made to RDoc 1.0.1. Command-line tools are largely unaffected, but internal APIs may shift rapidly.

See RDoc for a description of RDoc’s markup and basic use.

2.5.11 / 2010-08-20

  • Minor Enhancements

    • Alias comments are now discovered by the C parser. Reported by Jeremy Evans.

    • Removed —all option which is unused in RDoc. Use the nodoc or stopdoc/startdoc directives to suppress documentation instead.

2.5.10 / 2010-08-17

  • Minor Enhancements

    • Support rb_singleton_class(). Reported by Jeremy Evans.

    • Support rb_define_private_method() on rb_singleton_class(). Reported by Jeremy Evans.

  • Bug Fixes

    • Treat non-ASCII RDoc files as text. Bug #28391 by Kouhei Sutou.

    • Fix potential test failures due to ivar collision. Bug #28390 by Kouhei Sutou.

    • Added duck-typed #aref for RDoc::Attr to RDoc::AnyMethod. Bug #28375 by Erik Hollensbe

    • Fixed method references in HTML output when show_hash is false.

    • Fixed comments with ’.’ in call-seq in C sources. Reported by Jeremy Evans.

    • RDoc now understands singleton aliases. Reported by Jeremy Evans.

RDoc is an application that produces documentation for one or more Ruby source files. RDoc includes the rdoc and ri tools for generating and displaying online documentation.

At this point in time, RDoc 2.x is a work in progress and may incur further API changes beyond what has been made to RDoc 1.0.1. Command-line tools are largely unaffected, but internal APIs may shift rapidly.

See the RDoc Documentation for a description of RDoc’s markup and basic use.

Changes:

  • Bug Fixes

    • Look up pager correctly.

    • Fixed handling of bullets in verbatim sections. Partial patch by Juha-Jarmo Heinonen.

net-http-persistent 1.2.2

Eric Hodel | Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:24:24 GMT

Persistent connections using Net::HTTP plus a speed fix for 1.8. It's thread-safe too!

  • Bug Fixes

    • Don’t alter Net::BufferedIO#rbuf_fill on 1.9+

1.2 / 2010-05-20

  • Minor Enhancements

    • Net::HTTP#read_timeout is now supported

ruby-growl 2.0

Eric Hodel | Sat, 12 Jun 2010 05:39:12 GMT

ruby-growl version 2.0 has been released!

A pure-ruby growl notifier. ruby-growl allows you to perform Growl notification via UDP from machines without growl installed (for example, non-OSX machines).

What’s Growl? Growl is a really cool “global notification system for Mac OS X”. See growl.info/

See also the Ruby Growl bindings in Growl’s subversion repository: growl.info/documentation/growl-source-install.php

ruby-growl also contains a command-line notification tool named ‘growl’. Where possible, it isoption-compatible with growlnotify. (Use —priority instead of -p.)

Changes:

  • Major Enhancements

    • 1.9-ready

    • Notification levels now work on x86

    • Notification levels no longer work on PPC

  • Minor Enhancements

    • Added Growl.list which finds local hosts running growl using dnssd.

curb 0.7.3 performs as expected

Eric Hodel | Wed, 19 May 2010 20:32:31 GMT

Over loopback, curb runs about 2.4x the speed of net-http-persistent. This is the performance I expected curb to give. Having a pure-ruby library perform 2.4x worse than a C library makes net/http a fantastic library.

Remember, this benchmark and the previous one were designed to model a web-service type workload where many small requests are made. These benchmarks aren't designed to model downloading large files. 

require 'rubygems'
require 'benchmark'
require 'net/http/persistent'
require 'curb'

# dd if=/dev/zero of=~/Sites/zeros-1k bs=1024 c=1
uri_1k  = URI.parse 'http://localhost/~drbrain/zeros-1k'
uri_2k  = URI.parse 'http://localhost/~drbrain/zeros-2k'
uri_10k = URI.parse 'http://localhost/~drbrain/zeros-10k'

uri = uri_2k

N = 100_000

Benchmark.bmbm do |bm|
  bm.report 'Net::HTTP::Persistent' do
    http_p = Net::HTTP::Persistent.new

    N.times do
      response = http_p.request uri
      response.body
    end
  end

  bm.report 'curb' do
    curl = Curl::Easy.new
    url = uri.to_s

    N.times do
      curl.url = url
      curl.perform
      curl.body_str
    end
  end
end
Rehearsal ---------------------------------------------------------
Net::HTTP::Persistent  54.070000   3.930000  58.000000 ( 71.651048)
curb                   11.800000   4.510000  16.310000 ( 30.930453)
----------------------------------------------- total: 74.310000sec

                            user     system      total        real
Net::HTTP::Persistent  54.130000   3.930000  58.060000 ( 72.430575)
curb                   11.860000   4.540000  16.400000 ( 30.804222)
