Three months ago Julian Tarkhanov submitted a test implementation of his ActiveSupport::Multibyte string extension patch. Since then we've been steadily improving the extension based on the feedback we received.
The code has been completely refactored to be more transparent and easier to understand. There is now a single optional accelerated backend and all multibyte-safe operations have a pure Ruby implementation. Test structure and coverage has also been greatly improved. ActiveSupport::Multibyte is available as a plugin and can be converted to a patch using the included 'create_patch' rake task. We would like to see ActiveSupport::Multibyte included in Rails so that developers can start depending on it for simpler and better Unicode support. The ticket for the patch is at http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/ 6242. More information and code can be found at https://fngtps.com/ projects/multibyte_for_rails.
