Oniguruma -- when?

rubyhacker

When does Oniguruma go into Ruby? I thought it
was "very soon" -- perhaps "already" -- but someone
said something to make me think it was "later."

Thanks,
Hal

I believe the official story is Ruby 2.0.

This is because Matz is concerned about compatibility issues, I
think. I believe he even offered to consider it sooner, if we could
put together a test suite that showed it wouldn't be too devastating
to legacy scripts. (That's all from memory. I could be wrong!)

This is sad, because it really is a heck of a library and I would
love to see it become the norm as soon as possible.

I believe you can use oniguruma now in 1.8.3 if you compile-in the support for
the library. I think instructions have been posted in the past.

This is true. You can. It's just not the default yet.

A nice Regular Expression engine Ruby can use. It's more full
featured than the engine used by default in the 1.8 branch.

I think that's the right approach. 1.8.x releases shouldn't break
compatibility if possible.
