Hi, Today's ChangeLog includes these lines: > * include/ruby/node.h (NOEX_LOCAL): remove unused local visibility. > * class.c (ins_methods_push): ditto. > * class.c (rb_class_local_methods): method removed. I'm guessing that these mean that the plans to alter the method name resolution algorithm to handle private methods differently have been dropped and method name resolution in 1.9 will be the same as in 1.8. Could you confirm, Matz? David
