Upgrading Ruby::Enum

Upgrading to >= 0.9.0

Inheritance & Ruby::Enum.values

This only applies to classes that inherit from another which is a Ruby::Enum.

Prior to version 0.9.0, the values class method would enumerate only the values defined in the class.

As of version 0.9.0, the values class method enumerates values defined in the entire class heirarchy, ancestors first.

class PrimaryColors
  include Ruby::Enum

  define :RED, 'RED'
  define :GREEN, 'GREEN'
  define :BLUE, 'BLUE'
end

class RainbowColors < PrimaryColors
  define :ORANGE, 'ORANGE'
  define :YELLOW, 'YELLOW'
  define :INIDGO, 'INIDGO'
  define :VIOLET, 'VIOLET'
end

gem 'ruby-enum', '< 0.9.0'

RainbowColors.values # ['ORANGE', 'YELLOW', 'INIDGO', 'VIOLET']

gem 'ruby-enum', '>= 0.9.0'

RainbowColors.values # ['RED', 'ORANGE', 'YELLOW', 'GREEN', 'BLUE', 'INIDGO', 'VIOLET']
