Deprecation Warning in Ruby 1.9.3

[ReneB]

Hey sporkmonger,

Since 1.9.3 is out, and it has started printing pretty explicit warnings about deprecating Config in favor of RbConfig, I thought I'd go ahead and oblige. What do you think?

Regards, René van den Berg

Code must work on 1.8.6, 1.8.7, and 1.9.x as well. Please verify that this change works in older versions and I'll go ahead and merge it. Otherwise please update code to check that the RbConfig constant exists and then branch to the appropriate snippet of code.

RbConfig is an alias for Config since Ruby 1.8.5, so this should work. Testing in RVM:

$ irb -f
irb(main):001:0> RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.8.6"
irb(main):002:0> require 'rbconfig'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> RbConfig
=> Config

[ReneB]

Also, on Ruby 1.8.7:

$ irb -f
irb(main):001:0> RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.8.7"
irb(main):002:0> require 'rbconfig'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> RbConfig
=> Config

What's the status of this issue? Looks like there is already a fix for that warning, why hasn't it been released yet?

[Altonymous]

I too am looking for this to be released.

[ReneB]

I'm not sure. I think I've demonstrated that the change works on older versions as well, so I'm not sure if there's anything left for me to do. If there is, please let me know.

@sporkmonger Can you release a new version of the gem? rubygems.org still reports 2.1.2 as the latest version so this pull request/issue is still a problem. Also, pulls 6 and 8 are also not included in 2.1.2. Thanks!

[sporkmonger]

@jrafanie Done.

@sporkmonger Thanks!
