gem-compare v1.2.0, new contributors, and 200+ GitHub starts.

My little RubyGems plugin got some new contributions. Read the v1.0 announcement to know what’s the gem about.

New files diff

• Patrik Ragnarsson improved the full file diff originally contributed by Jared Deckard to show new files in full as well:

Group bit

• Patrik together with Ewoud Kohl allowed to skip the comparison of a group bit in files’ permissions. This is to avoid often appearing 644 vs 664 changes.

JRuby support

• João Duarte replaced curb with URI.open making gem-compare working with other Ruby implementations such as JRuby.

Upgrades

• Patrik updated the test suite to Minitest 5.

CI

• Patrik contributed a GitHub workflow to run the test suite on new pull requests.

Thanks

Thanks to Patrik, Ewoud and João for improving gem-compare for everybody. I released v1.2.0 yesterday.

We also reached 200+ stars on GitHub!
