Subject: [ruby-core:48904] [ruby-trunk - Feature #4569] Replace IPAddr with IPAddress


Issue #4569 has been updated by ceresa@gmail.com (Marco Ceresa).


Hello knu,

just back from a quick holiday :)

Thanks very much for your update. Here's my feedback:

- introduction of IPAddr::Error for ease of selectively catching IP address errors

that's an easy change for IPAddress, shouldn't modify anything existing; will work on it in the following days and perhaps release a new version of the library

- inhibition of zero-filled IPv4 address notation which is ambiguous (as to number bases)

I'll check IPAddr changelog and let you know on this one

- removal of unexpectedly exposed IPSocket.valid* methods

That was already removed from IPAddress

Hello,

following the discussion we had a few months ago about replacing IPAddr with IPAddress [1]. Here is the formal request.

IPAddress is now at version 0.7.5 

URL: https://github.com/bluemonk/ipaddress

I think it's mature and backward compatible enough to be taken into consideration.

Regards,
Marco
