v1.0.0

Added

• Added Module#prepend and completely overhauled the module and class inheritance system (#1826)

• Methods and properties are now assigned with Object.defineProperty() as non-enumerable (#1821)

• Backtrace now includes the location inside the source file for syntax errors (#1814)

• Added support for a faster C-implemented lexer, it's enough to add gem 'c_lexer to the Gemfile (#1806)

• Added Date#to_n that returns the JavaScript Date object (in native.rb). (#1779, #1792)

• Added Array#pack (supports only C, S, L, Q, c, s, l, q, A, a formats). (#1723)

• Added String#unpack (supports only C, S, L, Q, S>, L>, Q>, c, s, l, q, n, N, v, V, U, w, A, a, Z, B, b, H, h, u, M, m formats). (#1723)

• Added File#symlink? for Node.js. (#1725)

• Added Dir#glob for Node.js (does not support flags). (#1727)

• Added support for a static folder in the "server" CLI runner via the OPAL_CLI_RUNNERS_SERVER_STATIC_FOLDER env var

• Added the CLI option --runner-options that allows passing arbitrary options to the selected runner, currently the only runner making use of them is server accepting port and static_folder

• Added a short helper to navigate constants manually: E.g. Opal.$$.Regexp.$$.IGNORECASE (see docs for "Compiled Ruby")

• Added initial support for OpenURI module (using XMLHttpRequest on browser and xmlhttprequest on Node). (#1735)

• Added String#prepend to the list of unsupported methods (because String are immutable in JavaScript)

• Added methods (most introduced in 2.4/2.5):

  • Array#prepend (#1757)
  • Array#append (#1757)
  • Array#max (#1757)
  • Array#min (#1757)
  • Complex#finite? (#1757)
  • Complex#infinite? (#1757)
  • Complex#infinite? (#1757)
  • Date#to_time (#1757)
  • Date#next_year (#1885)
  • Date#prev_year (#1885)
  • Hash#slice (#1757)
  • Hash#transform_keys (#1757)
  • Hash#transform_keys! (#1757)
  • Numeric#finite? (#1757)
  • Numeric#infinite? (#1757)
  • Numeric#infinite? (#1757)
  • Integer#allbits? (#1757)
  • Integer#anybits? (#1757)
  • Integer#digits (#1757)
  • Integer#nobits? (#1757)
  • Integer#pow (#1757)
  • Integer#remainder (#1757)
  • Integer.sqrt (#1757)
  • Random.urandom (#1757)
  • String#delete_prefix (#1757)
  • String#delete_suffix (#1757)
  • String#casecmp? (#1757)
  • Kernel#yield_self (#1757)
  • String#unpack1 (#1757)
  • String#to_r (#1842)
  • String#to_c (#1842)
  • String#match? (#1842)
  • String#unicode_normalize returns self (#1842)
  • String#unicode_normalized? returns true (#1842)
  • String#[]= throws NotImplementedError(#1836)

• Added support of the pattern argument for Enumerable#all?, Enumerable#any?, Enumerable#none?. (#1757)

• Added ndigits option support to Number#floor, Number#ceil, Number#truncate. (#1757)

• Added key and receiver attributes to the KeyError. (#1757)

• Extended Struct.new to support keyword_init option. (#1757)

• Added a new Opal::Config.missing_require_severity option and relative --missing-require CLI flag. This option will command how the builder will behave when a required file is missing. Previously the behavior was undefined and partly controlled by dynamic_require_severity. Not to be confused with the runtime config option Opal.config.missing_require_severity; which controls the runtime behavior.

• Added Matrix (along with the internal MRI utility E2MM)

• Use shorter helpers for constant lookups, $$ for relative (nesting) lookups and $$$ for absolute (qualified) lookups

• Add support for the Mersenne Twister random generator, the same used by CRuby/MRI (#657 & #1891)

• [Nodejs] Added support for binary data in OpenURI (#1911, #1920)

• [Nodejs] Added support for binary data in File#read (#1919, #1921)

• [Nodejs] Added support for File#readlines (#1882)

• [Nodejs] Added support for ENV#[], ENV#[]=, ENV#key?, ENV#has_key?, ENV#include?, ENV#member?, ENV#empty?, ENV#keys, ENV#delete and ENV#to_s (#1928)

Changed

• BREAKING The dot (.) character is no longer replaced with [\s\S] in a multiline regexp passed to Regexp#match and Regexp#match? (#1796, #1795)
  • You're advised to always use [\s\S] instead of . in a multiline regexp, which is portable between Ruby and JavaScript
• BREAKING Kernel#format (and sprintf alias) are now in a dedicated module corelib/kernel/format and available exclusively in opal (#1930)
  • Previously the methods were part of the corelib/kernel module and available in both opal and opal/mini
• Filename extensions are no longer stripped from filenames internally, resulting in better error reporting (#1804)
• The internal API for CLI runners has changed, now it's just a callable object
• The --map CLI option now works only in conjunction with --compile (or --runner compiler)
• The node CLI runner now adds its NODE_PATH entry instead of replacing the ENV var altogether
• Added --disable-web-security option flag to the Chrome headless runner to be able to do XMLHttpRequest
• Migrated parser to 2.5. Bump RUBY_VERSION to 2.5.0.
• Exceptions raised during the compilation now add to the backtrace the current location of the opal file if available (#1814).
• Better use of displayName on functions and methods and more readable temp variable names (#1910)
• Source-maps are now inlined and already contain sources, incredibly more stable and precise (#1856)

Deprecated

• The CLI --server-port 1234 option is now deprecated in favor of using --runner-options='{"port": 1234}'
• Including ::Native is now deprecated because it generates conflicts with core classes in constant lookups (both Native::Object and Native::Array exist). Instead Native::Werapper should be used.
• Using node_require 'my_module' to access the native require() function in Node.js is deprecated in favor of `require('my_module')` because static builders need to parse the call in order to function (#1886).

Removed

• The node CLI runner no longer supports passing extra node options via the NODE_OPT env var, instead Node.js natively supports the NODE_OPTIONS env var.
• The gem "hike" is no longer an external dependency and is now an internal dependency available as Opal::Hike (#1881)
• Removed the internal Opal class Marshal::BinaryString (#1914)
• Removed Racc, as it's now replaced by the parser gem (#1880)

Fixed

• Fix handling of trailing semicolons and JavaScript returns inside x-strings, the behavior is now well defined and covered by proper specs (#1776)
• Fixed singleton method definition to return method name. (#1757)
• Allow passing number of months to Date#next_month and Date#prev_month. (#1757)
• Fixed pattern argument handling for Enumerable#grep and Enumerable#grep_v. (#1757)
• Raise ArgumentError instead of TypeError from Numeric#step when step is not a number. (#1757)
• At run-time LoadError wasn't being raised even with Opal.config.missing_require_severity; set to 'error'.
• Fixed Kernel#public_methods to return instance methods if the argument is set to false. (#1848)
• Fixed an issue in String#gsub that made it start an infinite loop when used recursively. (#1879)
• Kernel#exit was using status 0 when a number or a generic object was provided, now accepts numbers and tries to convert objects with #to_int (#1898, #1808).
• Fixed metaclass inheritance in subclasses of Module (#1901)
• Method#to_proc now correctly sets parameters and arity on the resulting Proc (#1903)
• Fixed bridged classes having their prototype removed from the original chain by separating them from the Ruby class (#1909)
• Improve String#to_proc performance (#1888)
• Fixed/updated the examples (#1887)
• Opal.ancestors() now returns false for when provided with JS-falsy objects (#1839)
