Had my first bug report today about the to_i method I made on the String class breaking Rails migrations because leading zeroes weren’t being treated nicely in my method: "001".to_i # => 1 and fails the test 1.to_s == "001" and so a String was being returned fromto_i. Crap.
I don’t think that I need the method anyways (I’m going to spend part of today to make sure with more tests!) so I’ve removed it and tagged Release 80 and uploaded the gem to RubyForge. It should be available to gem update or gem install shortly.
This release also has a larger test coverage and some other unnecessary methods were pruned. Check it out!
