0.6.3 / 2012-09-25¶ ↑

• Major Enhancements

  • Legacy Mode removed

• Minor Enhancements

  • Depend on newer versions of FFI

  • Make RubyPython correctly detect python on archlinux. [madjar]

• Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed some memory leaks, but still looking for others.

0.6.2 / 2012-05-24¶ ↑

• Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a possible namespace collision bug with the FFI library. [Akzhan]

0.6.1 / 2012-05-18¶ ↑

• Bug Fixes:

  • Widened the library naming schemes that RubyPython will search for the Python library. [Akzhan]

  • Better handling of 64-bit systems which also have 32-bit libraries. [Akzhan]

0.6 / 2012-04-17¶ ↑

• Major Enhancements:

  • Previous versions of RubyPython theoretically allowed the loading of different Python interpreters during a single Ruby session. Because of the likelihood of crashes, this functionality has been removed. Now, if you attempt to start RubyPython more than once while specifying different Python interpreters, RubyPython will print a warning and continue working with the already loaded interpreter.

  • The Python interpreter DLL will only be loaded once. It is configured with a self-removing method, Interpreter#infect! instead of require/load reload hacks.

  • Removed RubyPython.configure; since the interpreter can only be configured once, independent configuration no longer makes sense.

• Minor Enhancements:

  • RubyPython interpreter initialization is done with a Mutex synchronization to ensure that only one Python interpreter DLL is loaded.

  • Added RubyPython::Tuple, a simple subclass of ::Array that will correctly be converted to a Python tuple object such that isinstance(x, tuple) returns True.

  • Renamed RubyPython::PythonExec to RubyPython::Interpreter. Added some helper methods to assist with comparison. Construction is with an options hash.

  • The #update methods on Python interpreter observers are now private. This is an implementation detail, not a public interface. (The methods have also been renamed to #python_interpreter_update.)

• Deprecation:

  • RubyPython’s legacy mode (automatic unboxing of Python proxy objects where possible) has been deprecated and will be removed in the next non-bugfix release after this version. Introduced a new private method (RubyPython.legacy_mode?) to check if legacy mode is turned on so that the deprecation warning is not printed in all uses of RubyPython.

0.5.3 / 2011-10-22¶ ↑

• Bug Fixes:

  • Improved 64-bit Python detection on Unixes with Linux-like semantics (e.g., …/lib64). Resolves issue #7 on bitbucket.

0.5.2 / 2011-10-21¶ ↑

• Minor Enhancements:

  • The traceback for Python exceptions is now returned usefully. [raineszm]

0.5.1 / 2011-03-17¶ ↑

• Major Enhancements:

  • Procs and methods can be passed to Python. [raineszm]

  • Python to Ruby inheritance: A Ruby class can inherit from a Python class (EXPERIMENTAL). [steeve]

  • The Python library can now be reloaded (EXPERIMENTAL). There is a good chance of a segfault if this is used with a native extension. [raineszm]

  • Python functions and methods can be called with a terminal exclamation point to enable keyword argument processing in Python (EXPERIMENTAL). [tmm1]

• Minor Enhancements:

  • Improved Python generator support. [steeve]

  • PythonError now inherits from RuntimeError. [halostatue]

  • Added a Py_REFCNT macro for debugging reference counting. [tmm1]

• Changes:

  • Moved to RSpec2. [halostatue]

  • Moved Rakefile to hoe; added autotest. [halostatue]

• Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a reference counting bug that could crash the Python VM. [steeve]

  • Fixed a memory leak/reference counting bug related to method invocation (when turning the argument list into a tuple, PyList_SetItem steals references). Depends on FFI 1.0.7 (or higher) with modifications to aggressively free temporary Python objects created. [tmm1]

  • Restored Ruby 1.8.7 compatibility where possible. [halostatue]

  • Fixed FFI loader to be more robust and do more through FFI. [halostatue]

  • Fixed documentation errors. [halostatue]

• Project Management:

  • Rupy has been merged back into RubyPython.

  • Made the project website on RubyForge generatable from the readme and a template. Adopted the 960 grid system and modern CSS techniques.

  • Added a contributors document.

0.4.1 / / 2011-01-10¶ ↑

• Rupy was created as an active fork of Zach Raines’s RubyPython and released indepdently.

• Major Enhancements:

  • Python/Ruby callbacks [steeve]

  • Virtualenv support [steeve]

  • Python-style generators with Ruby (generators only work on Ruby 1.9).

0.3.2 / 2011-02-02¶ ↑

• Major Enhancements

  • Allow procs and methods to be passed to Ruby.

  • Allow configuration of the loaded Python library.

0.3.1 / 2011-01-19¶ ↑

• Compatability Updates

  • Cleanup of code which finds Python library thanks to Austin Ziegler.

0.3.0 / 2010-09-06¶ ↑

• Major Enhancements

  • Version 0.3.0 represents an almost complete rewrite of the RubyPython codebase.

  • A native C extension is no longer required. RubyPython uses the ‘ffi’ gem.

  • RubyPython by default now returns proxy instances for all Ruby objects. See the documentation for more information.

• Compatibility Updates

  • Version 0.3.0 was created with the goal of being compatible with as many Ruby versions as possible. It should at the very least run on MRI 1.8.6 - 1.9.1.
