I would like to announce the release of version 2.5.2 of KirbyBase, a small, pure-Ruby database management system that stores it’s data in plain-text files. You can download it here: Windows: [http://www.netpromi.com/files/KirbyBase\_Ruby\_2.5.2.zip](http://www.netpromi.com/files/KirbyBase_Ruby_2.5.2.zip) Linux/Unix: [http://www.netpromi.com/files/KirbyBase\_Ruby\_2.5.2.tar.gz](http://www.netpromi.com/files/KirbyBase_Ruby_2.5.2.tar.gz) Gem: [http://www.netpromi.com/files/KirbyBase-2.5.2.gem](http://www.netpromi.com/files/KirbyBase-2.5.2.gem) This release changes the way default values work when the user explicitly supplies a nil value for a field. I am releasing this minor update now to support the upcoming initial release of Assaph M.'s KirbyBase ActiveRecord adapter, Ackbar. Here’s the detail on the change: - Changed the behavior of KBTable#insert method. If user explicitly specifies nil for a field value and there is a default value for that field, the default value will no longer override the user specified nil value. Thanks to Assaph M. for suggesting this. Enjoy!
