ar_mailer 1.3.2
Eric Hodel | Wed, 29 Apr 2009 21:04:00 GMT
ar_mailer is a two-phase delivery agent for ActionMailer. Even delivering email to the local machine may take too long when you have to send hundreds of messages. ar_mailer allows you to store messages into the database for later delivery by a separate process, ar_sendmail.
Changes:
- Terminate SMTP connection on TimeoutError since Net::SMTP may be in a bogus state. Issue by Eric O’Connell.
- Don’t require Email class to exist. Bug #22843 by Joachim Glauche.
- Switched to minitest
- Upgraded to modern Hoe
- Updated configuration information for Rails > 2.0

quick_cert 2.0
Eric Hodel | Thu, 16 Apr 2009 08:41:00 GMT
quick_cert version 2.0 has been released!
seattlerb.rubyforge.org/quick_cert
rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb
quick_cert allows you to quickly and easily create SSL certificates. It uses a simple configuration file to generate self-signed client and server certificates.
quick_cert (formerly QuickCert) was one of the first things I released for Ruby, some four years ago. I’ve heard over the years that (shockingly!) people have continued to use it. Here it is for the first time as a gem!
Changes:
- 2 minor enhancements:
- Released as a gem
- Reorganized for Hoe
- 3 discoveries:
- CVS is odd after not using it for so long
- My ruby style hasn’t changed much in the past five years
- I still don’t know how OpenSSL works
RubyGems 1.3.2
Eric Hodel | Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:48:00 GMT
NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to follow the second set of update instructions if you see “Nothing to update”.
Release 1.3.2 fixes some bugs and adds some features.
Select New Features:
- RubyGems now loads plugins from rubygems_plugin.rb in installed gems. This can be used to add commands (See Gem::CommandManager) or add install/uninstall hooks (See Gem::Installer and Gem::Uninstaller).
- Gem::Version now understands prerelease versions using letters. (eg. ‘1.2.1.b’) Thanks to Josh Susser, Alex Vollmer and Phil Hagelberg.
- RubyGems now includes a Rake task for creating gems which replaces rake’s Rake::GemPackageTask. See Gem::PackageTask.
- Gem::find_files now returns paths in $LOAD_PATH.
- Added Gem::promote_load_path for use with Gem::find_files
- Added Gem::bin_path to make finding executables easier. Patch #24114 by James Tucker.
- Various improvements to build arguments for installing gems.
- `gem contents` added --all and --no-prefix.
- Gem::Specification
- #validate strips directories and errors on not-files.
- #description no longer removes newlines.
- #name must be a String.
- FIXME and TODO are no longer allowed in various fields.
- Added support for a license attribute. Feature #11041 (partial).
- Removed Gem::Specification::list, too much process growth. Bug #23668 by Steve Purcell.
- `gem generate_index`
- Can now generate an RSS feed.
- Modern indicies can now be updated incrementally.
- Legacy indicies can be updated separately from modern.
Select Bugs Fixed:
- Better gem activation error message. Patch #23082.
- Kernel methods are now private. Patch #20801 by James M. Lawrence.
- Fixed various usability issues with `gem check`.
- `gem update` now rescues InstallError and continues. Bug #19268 by Gabriel Wilkins.
- Allow ‘https’, ‘file’ as a valid schemes for --source. Patch #22485.
- `gem install`
- Now removes existing path before installing. Bug #22837.
- Uses Gem::bin_path in executable stubs to work around Kernel#load bug in 1.9.
- Correctly handle build args (after --) via the API. Bug #23210.
- --user-install
- `gem install --no-user-install` now works. Patch #23573 by Alf Mikula.
- `gem uninstall` can now uninstall from ~/.gem. Bug #23760 by Roger Pack.
- setup.rb
- Clarify RubyGems RDoc installation location. Bug #22656 by Gian Marco Gherardi.
- Allow setup to run from read-only location. Patch #21862 by Luis Herrera.
- Fixed overwriting ruby executable when BASERUBY was not set. Bug #24958 by Michael Soulier.
- Ensure we’re in a RubyGems dir when installing.
- Deal with extraneous quotation mark when autogenerating .bat file on MS Windows. Bug #22712.
Deprecation Notices:
- Gem::manage_gems has been removed.
- Time::today will be removed in RubyGems 1.4.

Special thanks to Chad Wooley for backwards compatibility testing and Luis Lavena and Daniel Berger for continuing windows support.
How can I get RubyGems?
NOTE: If you have installed RubyGems using a package system you may want to install a new RubyGems through the same packaging system.
If you have a recent version of RubyGems (0.8.5 or later), then all you need to do is:
$ gem update --system (you might need to be admin/root)
NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to follow the second set of update instructions if you see “Nothing to update”.
NOTE: You may have to run the command twice if you have any previosly installed rubygems-update gems.
If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still do it in two steps:
$ gem install rubygems-update (again, might need to be admin/root) $ update_rubygems (... here too)
If you don’t have any gems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software … doing it manually:
- DOWNLOAD FROM: rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
- UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE
- INSTALL WITH: ruby setup.rb (you may need admin/root privilege)
To File Bugs
The RubyGems bug tracker can be found on RubyForge at: rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=126&atid=575
When filing a bug, `gem env` output will be helpful in diagnosing the issue.
If you find a bug where RubyGems crashes, please provide debug output. You can do that with `gem --debug the_command`.
Thanks
Keep those gems coming!

RDoc 2.4.2
Eric Hodel | Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:18:00 GMT
rdoc version 2.4.2 has been released!
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.
Changes:
- 2 Minor Enhancements
- Added --pipe for turning RDoc on stdin into HTML
- Added rdoc/task.rb containing a replacement for rake/rdoctask.rb. Use RDoc::Task now instead of Rake::RDocTask.
- 10 Bug Fixes
- Writing the ri cache file to the proper directory. Bug #24459 by Lars Christensen.
- Possible fix for Dir::[] and Pathname interaction on 1.9. Bug #24650 by tiburon.
- Fixed scanning constants for if/end, etc. pairs. Bug #24609 by Ryan Davis.
- Fixed private methods in the C parser. Bug #24599 by Aaron Patterson.
- Fixed display of markup on RDoc main page. Bug #24168 by rhubarb.
- Fixed display of \ character in documentation proceeding words. Bug #22112 by James Gray. See RDoc for details.
- Fixed parsing and display of arg params for some corner cases. Bug #21113 by Csiszár Attila.
- Fixed links in Files box. Patch #24403 by Eric Wong.
- Toplevel methods now appear in Object. Bug #22677 by Ryan Davis.
- Added back --promiscuous which didn’t do anything you cared about. Why did you enable it? Nobody looked at that page! Oh, it warns, too.

rdoc, rdoc_chm, rdoc_html_templates 2.3.0 Released
Eric Hodel | Thu, 29 Jan 2009 01:07:00 GMT
RDoc version 2.3.0 has been released!
This release of RDoc brings some big changes. Most notably Michael Granger’s Darkfish generator has become the default output format for RDoc! Michael put a ton of great work into this, and it looks quite lovely. Check out the RDoc documentation for a sample.
rdoc_chm and rdoc_html_templates have been split off from RDoc and released separately as unmaintained software. I don’t plan to make any future changes or updates to rdoc_html_templates (which are for the old HTML generator) ever, but somebody may be interested in taking over maintainership of the rdoc_chm generator.
rdoc will automatically detect rdoc_html_templates and rdoc_chm, so you only need to install them to make them usable via command-line options.
