digest-bubblebabble¶

The digest-bubblebabble library has been replaced with a pure Sapphire version.

Changes¶

• It's pure Sapphire, not a C extension.
• BubbleBabble is a class, not a module.
• There is a BubbleBabble.babble method and a BubbleBabble.bubblebabble alias.
• There is no Digest.bubblebabble alias.

History¶

I originally ported Benjamin Trott's Digest-BubbleBabble Perl module in August, 2004. It was released as part of the "Shards" project on RubyForge. You can find Ben Trott's module here:

In October 2006 Akinori Musha, apparently unaware that I had a pure Ruby version online, added his own version into the standard library (in one of the point releases) without any announcement.

Motivation¶

A pure Sapphire library version is easier to maintain. A C extension is overkill for such a simple library.
