[ruby-talk:444778] [ANN] cel 0.6.0 released
by Tiago Cardoso 27 Feb '26

27 Feb '26

cel 0.6.0 has been released. cel is a pure Ruby implementation of Google Common Expression Language, https://opensource.google/projects/cel. The Common Expression Language (CEL) implements common semantics for expression evaluation, enabling different applications to more easily interoperate. ```ruby require "cel" # set the environment env = Cel::Environment.new(name: :string, group: :string) # parse ast = env.compile('name.startsWith("/groups/" + group)') # check prg = env.program(ast) # evaluate prg.evaluate(name: Cel::String.new("/groups/acme.co/documents/secret-stuff "), group: Cel::String.new("acme.co")) #=> true # or do it all in one go env.evaluate('name.startsWith("/groups/" + group)', name: Cel::String.new("/groups/acme.co/documents/secret-stuff"), group: Cel::String.new("acme.co") ) ``` Here are the updates since the last release: ## [0.6.0] - 2026-02-28 ### Features #### Network Extension Support the network extension, as defined [here]( https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/apiserver/pkg/cel/library#IP) ### Improvements #### support top-level lookup (ex: '.y') also, make sure than, on lookup, keys under the passed container take priority, except in the case where the lookup is top-level (i.e. '.y'). at the same time, #merge is refactored in order to: * normalize nested bindings into aggregated keys ({a:{b:1}} => {:"a.b"=> 1} * override container-prefixed variables with the local binding * deal with conflicts by moving them to top level.

[ruby-talk:444777] [ANN] hoe 4.6.1 Released
by Ryan Davis 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

hoe version 4.6.1 has been released! * home: <https://zenspider.com/projects/hoe.html> * code: <https://github.com/seattlerb/hoe> * bugs: <https://github.com/seattlerb/hoe/issues> * doco: <https://docs.seattlerb.org/hoe/> * clog: <https://github.com/seattlerb/hoe/blob/master/History.rdoc> Hoe is a rake/rubygems helper for project Rakefiles. It helps you manage, maintain, and release your project and includes a dynamic plug-in system allowing for easy extensibility. Hoe ships with plug-ins for all your usual project tasks including rdoc generation, testing, packaging, deployment, and announcement. See class rdoc for help. Hint: `ri Hoe` or any of the plugins listed below. For extra goodness, see: https://docs.seattlerb.org/hoe/Hoe.pdf ## Features/Problems: * Includes a dynamic plug-in system allowing for easy extensibility. * Auto-intuits changes, description, summary, and version. * Uses a manifest for safe and secure deployment. * Provides 'sow' for quick project directory creation. * Sow uses a simple ERB templating system allowing you to capture your project patterns. Changes: ### 4.6.1 / 2026-02-23 * 1 minor enhancement: * Added -C dir arg to sow to cd to dir before creating so I can test local changes easier. * 2 bug fixes: * Fixes for a very buggy rdoc... wtf * Switch to pp for debug_gem. Long file lists are finally readable. Gem#to_ruby is ugly as fuck.

[ruby-talk:444776] [ANN] minitest 6.0.2 Released
by Ryan Davis 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

minitest version 6.0.2 has been released! * home: <https://minite.st/> * code: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest> * bugs: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/issues> * rdoc: <https://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest> * clog: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/blob/master/History.rdoc> minitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting TDD, BDD, and benchmarking. "I had a class with Jim Weirich on testing last week and we were allowed to choose our testing frameworks. Kirk Haines and I were paired up and we cracked open the code for a few test frameworks... I MUST say that minitest is *very* readable / understandable compared to the 'other two' options we looked at. Nicely done and thank you for helping us keep our mental sanity." -- Wayne E. Seguin minitest/test is a small and incredibly fast unit testing framework. It provides a rich set of assertions to make your tests clean and readable. minitest/spec is a functionally complete spec engine. It hooks onto minitest/test and seamlessly bridges test assertions over to spec expectations. minitest/benchmark is an awesome way to assert the performance of your algorithms in a repeatable manner. Now you can assert that your newb co-worker doesn't replace your linear algorithm with an exponential one! minitest/pride shows pride in testing and adds coloring to your test output. I guess it is an example of how to write IO pipes too. :P minitest/test is meant to have a clean implementation for language implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working test suite. For example, there is no magic involved for test-case discovery. "Again, I can't praise enough the idea of a testing/specing framework that I can actually read in full in one sitting!" -- Piotr Szotkowski Comparing to rspec: rspec is a testing DSL. minitest is ruby. -- Adam Hawkins, "Bow Before MiniTest" minitest doesn't reinvent anything that ruby already provides, like: classes, modules, inheritance, methods. This means you only have to learn ruby to use minitest and all of your regular OO practices like extract-method refactorings still apply. ## Features/Problems: * minitest/autorun - the easy and explicit way to run all your tests. * minitest/test - a very fast, simple, and clean test system. * minitest/spec - a very fast, simple, and clean spec system. * minitest/benchmark - an awesome way to assert your algorithm's performance. * minitest/pride - show your pride in testing! * minitest/test_task - a full-featured and clean rake task generator. * Incredibly small and fast runner, but no bells and whistles. * Written by squishy human beings. Software can never be perfect. We will all eventually die. Changes: ### 6.0.2 / 2026-02-23 * 7 bug fixes: * Added missing drb dependency from minitest-server. (y-yagi) * Cleaned up bisect's sub-commands to load files directly, not ruby+require. * Fixed bisect to use same cmd ($0) to run tests as original invocation. * load server_plugin if server is loaded. (y-yagi) * Manipulate local args instead of ARGV in Sprint.run. * Only show --bisect in usage if using minitest. * Remove -Itest:lib from bisect's rb_flags since bin/minitest adds them.

[ruby-talk:444775] [ANN] rubygems-api 1.0.0 Released
by Ryan Davis 13 Feb '26

13 Feb '26

rubygems-api version 1.0.0 has been released! * home: <https://github.com/seattlerb/rubygems-api> * rdoc: <https://docs.seattlerb.org/rubygems-api> Send requests to rubygems' API and print the output. You can also query the output with jq (assuming json output) for that endpoint. ## Features/Problems: * Prints results from rubygems API. * Can use jq queries to filter and format results. * Currently only handles GET endpoints. See -h for a full list. * Uses ~/.gem/credentials for a higher query rate. Changes: ### 1.0.0 / 2026-02-10 * 1 major enhancement * Birthday!

[ruby-talk:444774] [ANN] RubyInline 3.14.3 Released
by Ryan Davis 02 Feb '26

02 Feb '26

RubyInline version 3.14.3 has been released! * rdoc: <http://docs.seattlerb.org/RubyInline/> * home: <http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/RubyInline/> * code: <https://github.com/seattlerb/rubyinline> Inline allows you to write foreign code within your ruby code. It automatically determines if the code in question has changed and builds it only when necessary. The extensions are then automatically loaded into the class/module that defines it. You can even write extra builders that will allow you to write inlined code in any language. Use Inline::C as a template and look at Module#inline for the required API. ## Features/Problems: * Quick and easy inlining of your C or C++ code embedded in your ruby script. * Extendable to work with other languages. * Automatic conversion between ruby and C basic types * char, unsigned, unsigned int, char *, int, long, unsigned long * inline_c_raw exists for when the automatic conversion isn't sufficient. * Only recompiles if the inlined code has changed. * Pretends to be secure. * Only requires standard ruby libraries, nothing extra to download. Changes: ### 3.14.3 / 2026-02-02 * 1 bug fix: * Fixed regexp to handle nested parens in mingw. (fenrir-naru)
