Revision history for Perl extension Inline-Ruby.

0.04        Sat  1 Sep 19:38:36 IDT 2012
    - Start integrating the patch from
        https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=32536 for compatibility
        with ruby-1.9.x/etc.
        - Applied it semi-manually to Makefile.PL, and to the .xs and .c files.

0.03        Thu  9 Aug 22:42:29 IDT 2012
    - RELEASE: Inline-Ruby-0.03
    - Got the tests to pass with recent perls and Ruby-1.8.7.
    - Some cleanups to Ruby.pm and the test suite.
    - Moved test.pl under examples/inline-ruby-test.pl so it won't interfere.

0.01 Sat Jan 12 00:14:11 PST 2002	@60
	- RELEASE: Inline-Ruby-0.01
	- Use $Config{path_sep} for splitting $ENV{PATH} in Makefile.PL
	- Exit with an error message if Ruby not found on the PATH.
	- Remove eval_ruby().
	- Add a '\n' to Inline::Ruby::Exception::to_str.
	- Finished documentation.
	- Added supporting #ifdefs for 5.005_03 support

0.01  Wed Jan  9 09:46:30 PST 2002	@51
	- Created a PerlProc class, which is like Ruby's Proc class: it wraps
	  closures. Ruby Procs are not allowed to call 'yield', which means
	  passing them blocks has no meaning. That makes them very useful for
	  holding Perl closures.
	- Added two new config parameters: REGEX(P) and BIND_TYPE(S). You can
	  tell Inline::Ruby what types you want it to bind to: classes,
	  modules, and functions being the choices. You can also provide a
	  regular expression, which classes, modules, and function names must
	  match.
	- Added more tests to prove that those all work.
	- Added a samples/tk/ directory, and wrote a simple Ruby Tk app to
	  demonstrate the PerlProc class in action.

0.01  Tue Jan  8 04:38:59 PST 2002	@50
	- Created a PerlException class to give Ruby information about Perl
	  errors that occur within Perl subs or callbacks.
	- Make sure that Inline::Ruby clears $@ if any call was successful.
	  That's important -- if you can potentially set $@, you need to clear
	  it if nothing's wrong.
	- Added a test case to cover the new PerlException class.
	- Added new Todo items.

0.01  Tue Jan  8 01:54:42 PST 2002	@49
	- changed the iterator interface completely (but not yet the doc).
	- added rb_iter() method to return an object which stores an iterator
	  hook.
	- methods can then be called upon the iterator object, and the
	  iterator hook is passed to Ruby as a block.
	- Basically, these two calls illustrate the difference between a
	  regular method call, and a method call with an iterator:
	     $o->method(@args);
	     $o->iter(\&my_iterator)->method(@args);
	- updated all the tests to use the new syntax.

0.01  Mon Jan  7 12:41:55 PST 2002	@48
	- added a method config_var($var), which will tell Perl whether the C
	  #define $var is defined or not. Used the change the way the tests
	  behave slightly, based on what's going to happen in XS.
	- Added two new test files: a better iterator, and exception tests.

0.01  Mon Jan  7 08:21:32 PST 2002	@47
	- my_error_trap() now throws a Perl exception object which stringifies
	  into the Ruby exception (so you can use $@ =~ /foo/), but which also
	  accepts other method calls.
	- can't trap Perl exceptions from Ruby yet.

0.01  Sun Jan  6 19:39:06 PST 2002	@46
	- More code cleaning. The XS portion of the code is much smaller, by
	  moving lots of code into macros and static functions.
	- Functions are now automatically bound to Perl.
	- rb_call_function() now accepts an iterator argument, just like
	  rb_call_*_method().
	- Added a call to rb_rescue(), which "rescues" the interpreter from
	  any uncaught exceptions. Currently prints out a warning and returns
	  undef.

0.01  Sat Jan  5 18:42:01 PST 2002
	- Incorporated a Makefile.PL fix by <jens@irs-net.com> to deal with
	  libruby.so properly

0.01  Thu Jan  3 21:48:15 PST 2002	@45
	- RELEASE: Inline-Ruby-0.01-pre2
	- do_rbinit() made much closer to what ruby itself does. Needed for
	  things like the Tk extension -- it tries to find the executable, and
	  causes a segfault on a NULL pointer.
	- made tests 03 and 04 work.
	- lots of documentation added (still not finished).

0.01  Thu Jan  3 15:46:49 PST 2002	@44
	- First working test: 01basic.t
	- No documentation
	- Massive code cleanup in XS and C

0.01  Mon Dec 24 12:25:38 PST 2001	@38
	- Removed the 'package' parameter. It doesn't even work in
	  Inline::Python that well. In Ruby we have a "flat" namespace anyway,
	  so you just have to specify full names of functions.

0.01  Mon Dec 24 01:58:24 PST 2001	@37
	- Inline::Ruby mostly working
	- rb2pl() and pl2rb() data marshalling working
	- rb_bind_function(), rb_bind_class() working
	- next step is to automate the process using rb_study_package

0.01  Sat Dec 22 02:12:21 PST 2001	@34
	- Change all 'python' references to 'ruby' before doing a pre-release
	  of Inline-Ruby-0.01

0.01  Sun Dec  9 21:34:19 PST 2001	@7
	- Checking unreleased Inline-Ruby distro into P4

0.01  Tue Jul 10 09:35:20 PDT 2001
	- adding in stubs and code based on Inline::Python. The .pm file will
	  probably be almost identical. The XS code will be the real
	  difference.

0.01  Tue Jul 10 09:17:27 2001
	- original version; created by h2xs 1.20 with options
		-PAXn Inline-Ruby
