What happened on the mruby front in June 2013?
The mruby internal test system was till now quite simple. Every assertion was checked based on the return value. Due to that the test code contained a lot of helper variables and binary concatenations to validate the proper test results. After we have introduced many more advanced assertions (i.e. assert_raise) we refactored the core test code and have now a much cleaner test environment with much less overhead due to the non existing restriction anymore of the return value.
Jun Hiroe worked hard on refactoring the return values of several internal C functions by using explicit mruby boolean types instead of integers as the return value.
Akira Yumiyama introduced the new gem mruby-object-ext which contains the following object extensions:
nil#to_anil#to_fnil#to_ikyab and cremno improved platform dependent build instructions and code. Mainly for building on Visual Studio and building for Arduino (i.e. ChipKit).
