= Change Log
Below is a complete listing of changes for each revision of FasterCSV.
== 1.5.4
* Improved test coverage for the parser.
* Improved documentation.
* Fixed a bug that prevented <tt>^</tt> from being used as <tt>:quote_char</tt>.
* Switched from abort() to throwing exceptions on Ruby 1.9.
* Use lang/ruby/gem.mk instead of misc/rubygems/rubygem.mk.
* Add LICENSE.
== 1.5.3
* A bug fix from Timothy Elliott to return the new parser to its strict quote
tolerance.
== 1.5.2
* A bug fix to allow IO Exceptions to reach the calling code from Moses Hohman.
* Added support for <tt>:write_headers => false</tt> to Table.to_csv().
== 1.5.1
* A bug fix for deleting blank Table rows from Andy Hartford.
* Added gem build instructions.
== 1.5.0
* The main parser has been rewritten by Timothy Elliott to avoid big input
issues with Ruby 1.8's regex engine. This makes FasterCSV handle more inputs
gracefully.
* FasterCSV will now exit with a notice to upgrade if required in Ruby 1.9.
* Included a missing file so the tests will run in source packages.
== 1.4.0
* Added encoding support patch from Michael Reinsch.
* Improved inspect() messages for better IRb support.
* Fixed header writing bug reported by Dov Murik.
* Use custom separators in parsing header Strings as suggested by Shmulik Regev.
* Added a <tt>:write_headers</tt> option for outputting headers.
* Handle open() calls in binary mode whenever we can to workaround a Windows
issue where line-ending translation can cause an off-by-one error in seeking
back to a non-zero starting position after auto-discovery for
<tt>:row_sep</tt> as suggested by Robert Battle.
* Improved the parser to fail faster when fed some forms of invalid CSV that can
be detected without reading ahead.
* Added a <tt>:field_size_limit</tt> option to control FasterCSV's lookahead and
prevent the parser from biting off more data than it can chew.
Packages Collection.
FasterCSV is intended as a complete replacement to the Ruby CSV
standard library. It is significantly faster and smaller while
still being pure Ruby code. It also strives for a better interface.
