yard-fence v0.8.2 released!

🏷️ release yard-fence 🏷️ v0.8.2

0.8.2 - 2025-12-30

• TAG: v0.8.2
• COVERAGE: 100.00% – 130/130 lines in 4 files
• BRANCH COVERAGE: 100.00% – 40/40 branches in 4 files
• 50.00% documented

Added

• Yard::Fence::RakeTask - New rake task class that provides yard:fence:prepare and yard:fence:clean tasks
  • Automatically enhances the :yard task when defined
  • Auto-registers when Rake is available at gem load time
• Yard::Fence.prepare_for_yard - New method to prepare for YARD documentation generation
  • Combines clean_docs_directory and prepare_tmp_files into a single call
  • Intended to be called from rake tasks, not at load time

Deprecated

• Yard::Fence.at_load_hook - Now does nothing; use prepare_for_yard via rake task instead

Removed

• BREAKING: Removed load-time execution of clean_docs_directory and prepare_tmp_files
  • Previously, these ran when yard-fence was loaded, causing docs/ to be cleared during unrelated rake tasks like build and release
  • Now all preparation happens via the yard:fence:prepare rake task, which runs as a prerequisite to the :yard task

Fixed

• Fixed docs/ directory being cleared during rake build and rake release commands
  • The root cause was at_load_hook running at gem load time instead of only when generating documentation
  • Now docs cleanup and tmp file preparation only occur when the yard task actually runs
