flog version 1.2.0 has been released! - [http://ruby.sadi.st/](http://ruby.sadi.st/) - [http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb](http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb) Flog reports the most tortured code in an easy to read pain report. The higher the score, the more pain the code is in. Changes: ### 1.2.0 / 2008-10-22 - 14 minor enhancements: - [http://ruby.sadi.st/](http://ruby.sadi.st/) - [http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb](http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb) ---

Not sure if it was me this time, I’d have to see a diff. It’s a while now… ``` "hugh sasse".split(/\s/).map{|x|x.capitalize}.join(" ") # :-) ``` ---

Ryan, Thanks for your continuing hard work on flog – it is a great tool. I wanted to remind you (or anyone interested in the material) that a fork of flog with a significant test suite and some refactorings exists on github here: [GitHub - flogic/flame: A fork of the seattle.rb flog project (why a fork? flog source is kept in a private perforce repo, and we wanted to add some new functionality, oh, and tests)](http://github.com/flogic/flame) I note that there still exists no test suite for the main release of flog and none of the readability, testability, or quality refactorings from flame were picked up for 1.2.0. There is also documentation of the characterization and refactoring process I applied to flog by way of an hour-long presentation at the Ruby Hoedown this fall. Video of that presentation can be found online here (many thanks to confreaks for their continuing good works): [http://rubyhoedown2008.confreaks.com/11-rick-bradley-flog-test-new.html](http://rubyhoedown2008.confreaks.com/11-rick-bradley-flog-test-new.html) My keynote slides (including all history) for that talk are all on github, here: [GitHub - rick/hoedown-2008: My ruby hoedown 2008 presentation](http://github.com/rick/hoedown-2008/tree/master) There also exists for download a package of snapshots of every commit in the refactoring process, including commit diffs, commit logs, full code trees, rcov and flog stats after every commit, and with commit hashes associated with the flame project commits on the github repo linked above. That tarball can be downloaded, for those wishing to review, study, or audit the refactoring, here: [http://www.rickbradley.com/misc/flog-snapshot.tar.gz](http://www.rickbradley.com/misc/flog-snapshot.tar.gz) All of this is free for reuse, mangling, heckling (in the conventional sense of the word), etc., with no strings attached. My hope here is that noone need wind up at the point I reached last spring: attempting to do work to improve flog and realizing that flog had no tests, and hence couldn’t reliably be developed further by other than its original author. Rather than work further without tests I built and have donated a comprehensive test suite and the necessary refactorings to make the suite possible and the code readable. I don’t aspire to become a maintainer of flog, much less “that other guy who maintains the version of flog that has tests”, but would rather see my donated work help the mainstream version of flog in whatever way is easiest. Thanks again, and best wishes, Rick ---

Thank you very much Rick. I appreciate it. ---
