[ANN] ipaddress 0.6.0 released

[Marco Ceresa]

ipaddress version 0.6.0 has been released!

http://github.com/bluemonk/ipaddress

IPAddress is a Ruby library to manipulate IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in a
modern and productive way. In this release we focused on making the
library more compatible with IPAddr.

I've just opened a discussion group to discuss about future
developments, feature requests and support. You're more than welcome

Feel free to come back to me for any question, bug report or feature request.
Hope you will enjoy it!

Here is the changelog:

== ipaddress 0.6.0

=== API changes
* IPv4#to_s now returns the address portion only,
to retain compatibility with IPAddr. Example:

IPAddress("172.16.10.1/24").to_s
#=> "172.16.10.1" # ipaddress 0.6.0

IPAddress("172.16.10.1/24").to_s
#=> "172.16.10.1/24" # ipaddress 0.5.0

* IPv6#to_s now returns the address portion only,
to retain compatibility with IPAddr. Example:

IPAddress "2001:db8::8:800:200c:417a/64".to_s
#=> "2001:db8::8:800:200c:417a" # ipaddress 0.6.0

IPAddress "2001:db8::8:800:200c:417a/64".to_s
#=> "2001:db8::8:800:200c:417a/64" # ipaddress 0.6.0

* IPv6::Unspecified#to_s, IPv6::Loopback and
IPv6::Mapped#to_s now return the address portion only,
to retain compatibility with IPAddr.
* IPv4::summarize now returns an array even if the
result is a single subnet, to keep consistency
and avoid confusion

=== New methods
* IPv4#to_string and IPv6#to_string: print the address
with the prefix portion, like the #to_s method in
ipaddress 0.5.0
* IPAddress:arse, for those who don't like the wrapper
method IPAddress()
* IPv6#to_string_uncompressed, returns a string with the
uncompressed IPv6 and the prefix
* IPv6::Mapped#to_string, returns the IPv6 Mapped address
with IPv4 notation and the prefix
* IPv6#reverse, returns the ip6.arpa DNS reverse lookup
string
* IPv4#arpa and IPv6#arpa, alias of the respective #reverse
methods
* Prefix#+, Prefix#-

=== Library structure
* Moved all the IPAddress module methods from
lib/ipaddress/ipbase.rb to lib/ipaddress.rb
* Removed IPBase superclass
* IPv4 and IPv6 classes no longer inherit from IPBase
* Removed lib/ipaddress/ipbase.rb
* Removed test/ipaddress/ipbase_test.rb

=== Minor fixes
* Replaced Ruby 1.9 deprecated Hash#index with Hash#key
* Removed require ruby-prof from tests which was causing
users to install ruby-prof or manually remove the line
* Removed "must" method from tests, replaced by normal
Test::Unit methods
* Removed duplicate Jeweler entry in Rakefile
* Made Integer#closest_power_of_2 more general by adding
an optional limit parameter
* Fixed summarization algorithm (thanks to nicolas fevrier)
* Fixed bug in prefix_from_ip (thanks to jdpace)
