1.4.1 - 17-Jul-2011¶ ↑

• Now works with Ruby 1.9.x. Thanks go to Shura for the patch.

• Refactored the gemspec. Gem building code is now handled by Rake tasks.

• Refactored the Rakefile. Added a default task, removed the old install task, and namespaced the gem related tasks.

1.4.0 - 5-Sep-2009¶ ↑

• Fixed a packaging bug where the libs weren't actually being included! Gah! Thanks go to Steven Hilton for the spot.

• Other minor refactorings to the gemspec.

• The release number does not reflect any code changes. I simply ran out of numbers. :)

1.3.9 - 29-Jul-2009¶ ↑

• Now compatible with Ruby 1.9.x.

• Gemspec updates, including a license change to Artistic 2.0.

• Added individual rake tasks for testing Getopt::Long and Getopt::Std.

• The test-unit library was switched from a standard dependency to a development dependency.

1.3.8 - 6-Jan-2008¶ ↑

• Fixed RF bug #23477 - Getopt::Std inadvertently raises an error if you pass a letter (without a hyphen) as an argument to a switch that matches that letter, e.g. “-a a” should be legal. Thanks go to an anonymous user for the spot.

• Added tests for RF bug #23477.

• Added Test::Unit 2.x as a prerequisite.

1.3.7 - 27-Jul-2008¶ ↑

• Fixed a potential infinite hash recursion bug in ARGV processing. This was smoked out as the result of the alternate hash implementations in JRuby and Ruby 1.9.

• Added the example programs to the gemspec.

• Removed the ts_all.rb file, and renamed the other test files. The Rakefile test task was updated accordingly.

• The Getopt::LongError class is now Getopt::Long::Error.

• Removed the install.rb file - use the 'rake install' task instead.

1.3.5 - 5-Jul-2006¶ ↑

• Fixed a bug where multiple long switches with the same first character could cause invalid results. Thanks go to Michael Campbell for the spot.

• Added documentation to the README file that explains what happens if you specify multiple long switches with the same first character and no short switch alias.

1.3.4 - 7-Mar-2006¶ ↑

• Fixed Getopt::Long so that it can handle embedded hyphens in the long form, e.g. –foo-bar. Thanks go to Mark Meves for the spot.

1.3.0 - 4-Nov-2005¶ ↑

• Added the Getopt::Long class (long.rb). This is a complete revamp of the old getoptlong package, with ideas tossed in from Perl's Getopt::Long package. See the README and example script for more detail.
