1.14.0

Breaking Changes

Ruby 1.8.7 is no longer supported. The minimum required Ruby version is now 1.9.3.

What's Changed

• Removed require 'rubygems' which was only needed for Ruby 1.8.7 compatibility
• Updated documentation to reflect minimum Ruby version of 1.9.3

Migration Notes

If you are still running Ruby 1.8.7:

• Upgrade to Ruby 1.9.3 or later (tested up to Ruby 3.3.5)
• If upgrading is not possible, continue using version 1.13.0

Why This Change?

Ruby 1.8.7 reached end-of-life in June 2013 (over 11 years ago). Dropping support allows us to:

• Use modern Ruby standard library features
• Simplify the codebase by removing legacy compatibility code
• Better support modern OpenSSL capabilities

1.13.0

What's New

This release adds a comprehensive test suite to improve code quality and maintainability. The plugin itself remains completely standalone with no changes to functionality.

Added

• Comprehensive test suite using Minitest covering:
  • Utility functions (hash flattening, Nagios threshold parsing)
  • Nagios module behavior (exit codes, output formatting)
  • Argument validation and error handling
  • HTTP integration with mocked requests
• Development documentation in README
• Gemfile for test dependencies (optional, not required to use the plugin)

Changed

• Updated .gitignore to exclude Gemfile.lock
• Clarified license applies to entire project in README

Notes

The check_http_json.rb script remains completely self-contained with no external dependencies beyond Ruby's standard library. The test infrastructure is entirely optional for users.
