Since Ruby 1.8.7 is out I went and updated the API docs on Ruby-doc.org .

It’s bothered me (and others) that running rdoc over the source using the default settings grabs yaml.rb and friends and ends up sticking additonal methods on core classes that would only be there were one to require yaml.

People have also asked me why so many files appear in both the core and stdlib sections. Ideally there would be just one place to look for docs, but for now rdoc gives cleaner results when files under lib/ and ext/ are processed apart from the core files.

So, for the 1.8.7 docs, I edited the .document files to restrict what appears in the core section. What’s missing from core should appear in stdlib.
