    • BasicSocket#recv and BasicSocket#recv_nonblock allow an output String buffer argument like IO#read and IO#read_nonblock to reduce GC overhead

  • ObjectSpace (objspace)

    • ObjectSpace.count_symbols is added.

    • ObjectSpace.internal_class_of is added.

    • ObjectSpace.internal_super_of is added.

  • OpenSSL
