History - Blockenspiel 0.5.0 Documentation

Fixed an issue with the proxy strategy, where if a block spawns blocks that live longer than it, the sub-blocks lost their context.
Changed the default strategy to proxy due to semantic issues with mixin and difficulty supporting it.
Dropped support for the mixin strategy on MRI because Ruby 2.3.0 broke it and I don't have the bandwidth to find a remedy.
Updated the Rakefile, tests, and general infrastructure to play better with modern Rubies.
Dropped support for Ruby 1.8, because who still uses 1.8???

Compatibility with the signature change to reset_method_cache in recent builds of Rubinius 2.0.
The gemspec no longer includes the timestamp in the version, so that bundler can pull from github. (Reported by corneverbruggen)
The Rakefile is now compatible with Ruby 2.0 and RubyGems 2.0.

Under JRuby 1.9 mode, if two threads mixed into the same object, the calls sometimes went to the wrong place. Fixed.
The VERSION constant behaved very oddly under Rubinius 1.9 mode. Fixed.
Eliminate some warnings.
Integrate with Travis CI.

MRI C extension experienced a compile error under the current MRI head (e.g. 1.9.3). Fixed.
Rake-based build of the MRI C extension failed under newer rakes. Fixed.
Eliminated some Rakefile deprecation warnings under newer rakes.

Fixed an unmixer compatibility issue with Rubinius > 1.2.x. (Thanks to @meh for the fix.)
Recent versions of Rubinius raised exceptions involving Fiber. Fixed.
Workaround for a JRuby NullPointerException (JRUBY-5842).
Integrated JRuby platform gem back into main gem.
A .gemspec file is now available for gem building and bundler git integration.
Some cleanup of the Rakefile and tests.

Implemented string- and file-based DSLs (in addition to block-based).
Correctly handle separate active DSLs in different fibers within the same thread, when fibers are avaialble.
Updated ruby runtime dependencies to reflect what I'm actually testing.
Organized the source a little better, and fixed some Rakefile quirks.

Modules included in a DSL-ized class now have their methods included in the DSL.
Raise a more informative error (for now) when trying to include Blockenspiel::DSL in a module. At some point, we'll support this usage, once I figure out the right semantics for it.

Blockenspiel#invoke can now take its options hash as the second argument (instead of the third) when using dynamic target generation, since the second argument is otherwise unused in this case.
Now defines Blockenspiel::VERSION, as a versionomy object if the versionomy library is available, or as a version string if not.

dsl_attr_writer and dsl_attr_accessor convenience methods are available for creating DSL-friendly attributes.
Dynamic DSL methods can now take real block arguments, if supported by the Ruby interpreter.
Shortened README.rdoc and renamed the longer version to Blockenspiel.rdoc.
Some documentation updates.

Support for gemcutter hosting in the build/release scripts.
Some clarifications to constant scopes internal in the code.
A few documentation updates.
Minor changes to the Implementing DSL Blocks paper to deal with Why's disappearance.

Added ability to pass the block as the first parameter in the dynamic DSL builder API; cleaned up the API a little
Minor fixes to Implementing DSL Blocks paper
Some updates to rdocs
More test coverage

Added :proxy behavior for parameterless blocks
Removed option to turn off inheriting, since the semantics are somewhat ill-defined and inconsistent. All parameterless blocks now exhibit the inheriting behavior.
Added tests for the different behavior settings.
