* Yearning to use some of the new cool features in Ruby 2.0.0 while using
|
||
|
|
1.8.6?
|
||
|
|
* One of your client is stuck with Ruby 1.8.6 but you want to use a gem using
|
||
|
|
some features of 1.8.7?
|
||
|
|
* Can't remember if you can use Array#sample or String#each_char on a friend's
|
||
|
|
box?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This gem is for you!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The goal of 'backports' is to make it easier to write ruby code that runs
|
||
|
|
across different versions of Ruby. All you need to bring any version of Ruby
|
||
|
|
up to today's standards:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
require 'backports'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will bring in all the features of 1.8.7 (for Ruby 1.8.6) and many
|
||
|
|
features of Ruby 1.9.1 (for Ruby 1.8.x), Ruby 1.9.2 and Ruby 1.9.3 (for all
|
||
|
|
earlier versions)!
