Today's RubySpec (Dec 21, 2009)

I succeeded in fixing RubySpec to pass all String specs both in Ruby 1.8.7 and Ruby 1.9.2. yay!

$ /usr/bin/ruby ../mspec/bin/mspec ./core/string/*.rb -t ~/rubies/bin/ruby192

New knowledges for me

• String#squeeze, #count and #delete receive string sequence like "a-c". In Ruby 1.8, an invalid sequence like "c-a" is just regarded as empty sequence. On the other hand, in Ruby 1.9, it raises an ArgumentError.
• "\u0085" is NEL: Next Line in utf-8. On my Terminal, it looks like "\n". But actually "n" and NEL are completely different characters.
• String#% Differs Between Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 (the previous blog post)
