[ANN] Utility Belt version 1.0.5 - hash math and Windows documentation

Giles Bowkett

12/16/2007 4:51:00 AM

Lots of bug fixes in the past few days. This dot release is worth
highlighting because it adds something I think is pretty cool.

You can now do addition and subtraction on hashes in Utility Belt:

{:a => :b} + {:c => :d} == {:a => :b, :c => :d}

{:a => :b, :c => :d} - {:c => :d} == {:a => :b}

{:a => :b, :c => :d} - :c == {:a => :b}

Also added .irbrc info for Windows users.

Small changes, but nifty ones. Upcoming at some point in future will
be the ability to cherry-pick utilities from the belt. Also possibly
more flexibility for the Pastie method and more power for the
interactive editor methods.

Love the hash arithmetic. Nice job.

URLs are for gem install utility_belt to read!

But if you want some:

http://utilitybelt.ruby...
http://rubyforge.org/projects/ut...
http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/utilitybelt...
http://gilesbowkett.bl.../2007/12/utility-belt-released-versio...

Actually, I figured something out this morning. I got a bug report
involving Rails. Pretty weird, loading my gem made a Rails app
twitchy. (Even though the app didn't use the gem.) Rails appears to be
loading .irbrc for some reason. What I figured out this morning was a
short-term fix for it. So there might be another dot release later
today.

(It's not really a fix, though, it's more of a dodge.)
