Hashery 2.0.0 has been released.
The Hashery is a tight collection of Hash-like classes. Included among
its many offerings are the auto-sorting Dictionary class, the efficient
LRUHash, the flexible OpenHash and the convenient KeyHash. Nearly every
class is a subclass of the CRUDHash which defines a CRUD model on top of
Ruby’s standard Hash making it a snap to subclass and augment to fit any
specific use case.

This is a big release for Hashery which both culls some of it’s less
fitting classes and modules while greatly improving the rest. The first
and most immediate change is use of a proper namespace. All classes and
modules are now appropriately kept in the Hashery namespace. To get
the old behavior you can include Hashery as the toplevel. For the
other changes and improvements dive into the API documentation.
Changes:
- Use proper Hashery namespace.
- Add CRUDHash, which also serves a good base class.
- Improved OpenHash to be nearly 100% open.
- Deprecate BasicStruct, as it would be better to improve OpenStruct.
- Deprecate BasicCascade, though it never really came to be.
- Deprecate BasicObject emulator, as it is no longer needed.
- Deprecate Memoizer, not sure how that got in here anyway.
- Deprecate Ostructable, which can be paired up with better OpenStruct.
- Removed open_object.rb, which has long been deprecated.
