- Allow using bootsnap without bundler. See #488.
- Fix startup failure if the cache directory points to a broken symlink.
- Fix the cache corruption issue in the revalidation feature. See #474. The cache revalidation feature remains opt-in for now, until it is more battle tested.
- Disable stale cache entries revalidation by default as it seems to cause cache corruption issues. See #471 and #474. Will be re-enabled in a future version once the root cause is identified.
- Fix a potential compilation issue on some systems. See #470.
- Handle
EPERM
errors when opening files withO_NOATIME
.
Bootsnap.instrumentation
now receive:hit
events.- Add
Bootsnap.log_stats!
to print hit rate statistics on process exit. Can also be enabled withBOOTSNAP_STATS=1
. - Revalidate stale cache entries by digesting the source content.
This should significantly improve performance in environments where
mtime
isn't preserved (e.g. CI systems doing a git clone, etc). See #468. - Open source files and cache entries with
O_NOATIME
when available to reduce disk accesses. See #469. bootsnap precompile --gemfile
now look for.rb
files in the whole gem and not just thelib/
directory. See #466.
- Fix a compatibility issue with the
prism
library that ships with Ruby 3.3. See #463. - Improved the
Kernel#require
decorator to not cause a method redefinition warning. See #461.
- Ensure
$LOAD_PATH.dup
is Ractor shareable to fix a conflict withdid_you_mean
. - Allow to ignore directories using absolute paths.
- Support YAML and JSON CompileCache on TruffleRuby.
- Support LoadPathCache on TruffleRuby.
- Use
RbConfig::CONFIG["rubylibdir"]
instead ofRbConfig::CONFIG["libdir"]
to check for stdlib files. See #431. - Fix the cached version of
YAML.load_file
being slightly more permissive than the defaultPsych
one. See #434.Date
andTime
values are now properly rejected, as well as aliases. If this causes a regression in your application, it is recommended to load trusted YAML files withYAML.unsafe_load_file
.
- Add a readonly mode, for environments in which the updated cache wouldn't be persisted. See #428 and #423.
- Require Ruby 2.6.
- Add a way to skip directories during load path scanning.
If you have large non-ruby directories in the middle of your load path, it can severely slow down scanning.
Typically this is a problem with
node_modules
. See #277. - Fix
Bootsnap.unload_cache!
, it simply wouldn't work at all because of a merge mistake. See #421.
-
Stop decorating
Kernel.load
. This used to be very useful in development because the Rails "classic" autoloader was usingKernel.load
in dev andKernel.require
in production. But Zeitwerk is now the default, and it doesn't useKernel.load
at all.People still using the classic autoloader might want to stick to
bootsnap 1.12
. -
Add
Bootsnap.unload_cache!
. Applications can call it at the end of their boot sequence when they know no more code will be loaded to reclaim a bit of memory.
-
bootsnap precompile
CLI will now also precompileRakefile
and.rake
files. -
Stop decorating
Module#autoload
as it was only useful for supporting Ruby 2.2 and older. -
Remove
uname
and other platform specific version from the cache keys.RUBY_PLATFORM + RUBY_REVISION
should be enough to ensure bytecode compatibility. This should improve caching for alpine based setups. See #409.
- Fix the
can't modify frozen Hash
error on load path cache mutation. See #411.
-
Drop dependency on
fileutils
. -
Better respect
Kernel#require
duck typing. While it almost never comes up in practice,Kernel#require
follow a fairly intricate duck-typing protocol on its argument implemented asrb_get_path(VALUE)
in MRI. So when applicable we bindrb_get_path
and use it for improved compatibility. See #396 and #406. -
Get rid of the
Kernel.require_relative
decorator by resolving$LOAD_PATH
members to their real path. This way we handle symlinks in$LOAD_PATH
much more efficiently. See #402 for the detailed explanation. -
Drop support for Ruby 2.3 (to allow getting rid of the
Kernel.require_relative
decorator).
-
Fix Regexp and Date type support in YAML compile cache. (#400)
-
Improve the YAML compile cache to support
UTF-8
symbols. (#398, #399) The defaultMessagePack
symbol serializer assumes all symbols are ASCII, because of this, non-ASCII compatible symbol would be restored withASCII_8BIT
encoding (AKABINARY
). Bootsnap now properly cache them inUTF-8
.Note that the above only apply for actual YAML symbols (e..g
--- :foo
). The issue is still present for string keys parsed withYAML.load_file(..., symbolize_names: true)
, that is a bug inmsgpack
that will hopefully be solved soon, see: msgpack/msgpack-ruby#246 -
Entirely disable the YAML compile cache if
Encoding.default_internal
is set to an encoding not supported bymsgpack
. (#398)Psych
coerce strings toEncoding.default_internal
, butMessagePack
doesn't. So in this scenario we can't provide YAML caching at all without returning the strings in the wrong encoding. This never came up in practice but might as well be safe.
-
Reduce the
Kernel.require
extra stack frames some more. Now bootsnap should only add one extra frame perrequire
call. -
Better check
freeze
option support in JSON compile cache. PreviouslyJSON.load_file(..., freeze: true)
would be cached even when the msgpack version is missing support for it.
-
Fix
Kernel#autoload
's fallback path always being executed. -
Consider
unlink
failing withENOENT
as a success.
-
Delay requiring
FileUtils
. (#285)FileUtils
can be installed as a gem, so it's best to wait for bundler to have setup the load path before requiring it. -
Improve support of Psych 4. (#392) Since
1.8.0
,YAML.load_file
was no longer cached when Psych 4 was used. This is becauseload_file
loads in safe mode by default, so the Bootsnap cache could defeat that safety. Now when precompiling YAML files, Bootsnap first try to parse them in safe mode, and if it can't fallback to unsafe mode, and the cache contains a flag that records whether it was generated in safe mode or not.YAML.unsafe_load_file
will use safe caches just fine, butYAML.load_file
will fallback to uncached YAML parsing if the cache was generated using unsafe parsing. -
Minimize the Kernel.require extra stack frames. (#393) This should reduce the noise generated by bootsnap on
LoadError
.
-
Ignore absolute paths in the loaded feature index. (#385) This fixes a compatibility issue with Zeitwerk when Zeitwerk is loaded before bootsnap. It also should reduce the memory usage and improve load performance of Zeitwerk managed files.
-
Automatically invalidate the load path cache whenever the Ruby version change. (#387) This is to avoid issues in case the same installation path is re-used for subsequent ruby patch releases.
- Only disable the compile cache for source files impacted by Ruby 3.0.3 [Bug 18250]. This should keep the performance loss to a minimum.
- Disable compile cache if Ruby 3.0.3's ISeq cache bug is detected.
AKA
iseq.rb:13 to_binary: wrong argument type false (expected Symbol)
- Fix
Kernel.load
behavior: beforeload 'a'
would loada.rb
(and other tried extensions) and wouldn't loada
unlessdevelopment_mode: true
, now onlya
would be loaded and files with extensions wouldn't be.
- Removed a forgotten debug statement in JSON precompilation.
- Added a compilation cache for
JSON.load_file
. (#370)
- Fixed support for older Psych. (#369)
- Improve support for Psych 4. (#368)
- Fix
require_relative
in evaled code on latest ruby 3.1.0-dev. (#366)
- Fix reliance on
set
to be required. - Fix
Encoding::UndefinedConversionError
error for Rails applications when precompiling cache. (#364)
- Handle a regression of Ruby 2.7.3 causing Bootsnap to call the deprecated
untaint
method. (#360) - Gracefully handle read-only file system as well as other errors preventing to persist the load path cache. (#358)
- Stop raising errors when encountering various file system errors. The cache is now best effort,
if somehow it can't be saved, bootsnap will gracefully fallback to the original operation (e.g.
Kernel.require
). (#353, #177, #262)
- Disable YAML precompilation when encountering YAML tags. (#351)
- Fix compatibility with msgpack < 1. (#349)
- Warn Ruby 2.5 users if they turn ISeq caching on. (#327, #244)
- Disable ISeq caching for the whole 2.5.x series again.
- Better handle hashing of Ruby strings. (#318)
- Fix detection of YAML files in gems.
- Adds an instrumentation API to monitor cache misses.
- Allow to control the behavior of
require 'bootsnap/setup'
using environment variables. - Deprecate the
disable_trace
option. - Deprecate the
ActiveSupport::Dependencies
(AKA Classic autoloader) integration. (#344)
- Fix a Ruby 2.7/3.0 issue with
YAML.load_file
keyword arguments. (#342) bootsnap precompile
CLI use multiple processes to complete faster. (#341)bootsnap precompile
CLI also precompile YAML files. (#340)- Changed the load path cache directory from
$BOOTSNAP_CACHE_DIR/bootsnap-load-path-cache
to$BOOTSNAP_CACHE_DIR/bootsnap/load-path-cache
for ease of use. (#334) - Changed the compile cache directory from
$BOOTSNAP_CACHE_DIR/bootsnap-compile-cache
to$BOOTSNAP_CACHE_DIR/bootsnap/compile-cache
for ease of use. (#334)
- Workaround a Ruby bug in InstructionSequence.compile_file. (#332)
- Add a command line to statically precompile the ISeq cache. (#326)
- Various performance enhancements
- Fix race condition in heavy concurrent load scenarios that would cause bootsnap to raise
-
Fix bug that was erroneously considering that files containing
.
in the names were being required if a different file with the same name was already being requiredExample:
require 'foo' require 'foo.en'
Before bootsnap was considering
foo.en
to be the same file asfoo
-
Use glibc as part of the ruby_platform cache key
- MRI 2.7 support
- Fixed concurrency bugs
- Disable ISeq cache in
bootsnap/setup
by default in Ruby 2.5
- Fix some cache permissions and umask issues after switch to mkstemp
- Fix bug when removing features loaded by relative path from
$LOADED_FEATURES
- Fix bug with propagation of
NameError
up from nested calls torequire
- Don't register change observers to frozen objects.
- When running in development mode, always fall back to a full path scan on LoadError, making bootsnap more able to detect newly-created files. (#230)
- Respect
$LOADED_FEATURES.delete
in order to support code reloading, for integration with Zeitwerk. (#230) - Minor performance improvement: flow-control exceptions no longer generate backtraces.
- Better support for requiring from environments where some features are not supported (especially JRuby). (#226)k
- More robust handling of OS errors when creating files. (#225)
- Fix Spring + Bootsnap incompatibility when there are files with similar names.
- Fix
YAML.load_file
monkey patch to keep accepting File objects as arguments. - Fix the API for
ActiveSupport::Dependencies#autoloadable_module?
. - Some performance improvements.
- Change load path scanning to more correctly follow symlinks.
- Handle cases where load path entries are symlinked (#136)
- Fix method visibility of
Kernel#require
.
- Add
LoadedFeaturesIndex
to preserve fix a common bug related toLOAD_PATH
modifications after loading bootsnap.
- Don't cache YAML documents with
!ruby/object

to be stable
- (none)
- Minor performance savings around checking validity of cache in the presence of relative paths.
- When coverage is enabled, skips optimization instead of exploding.
- Don't whitelist paths under
RbConfig::CONFIG['prefix']
as stable; instead use['libdir']
(#41). - Catch
