Change Log
Below is a complete listing of changes for each revision of FasterCSV.
1.4.0
- Added encoding support patch from Michael Reinsch.
- Improved inspect() messages for better IRb support.
- Fixed header writing bug reported by Dov Murik.
- Use custom separators in parsing header Strings as suggested by Shmulik
Regev.
- Added a :write_headers option for outputting headers.
- Handle open() calls in binary mode whenever we can to workaround a Windows
issue where line-ending translation can cause an off-by-one error in
seeking back to a non-zero starting position after auto-discovery for
:row_sep as suggested by Robert Battle.
- Improved the parser to fail faster when fed some forms of invalid CSV that
can be detected without reading ahead.
- Added a :field_size_limit option to control FasterCSV‘s lookahead and
prevent the parser from biting off more data than it can chew.

- Default to the system line ending when passed a GzipWriter object to wrap.
