This new version includes a major redesign of the library internals, with the goal to drastically improve the lookup time while reducing storage space.
For this reason, several public methods that are no longer applicable have been deprecated and/or removed. You can find more information at GH-133.
PublicSuffix::List#rules is now protected. You should not rely on it as the internal rule representation is subject to change to optimize performances.PublicSuffix::List.clear, it was an unnecessary accessor method. Use PublicSuffix::List.default = nil if you really need to reset the default list. You shouldn't.PublicSuffix::List#select is now private. You should not use it, instead use PublicSuffix::List#find.PublicSuffix::List no longer implements Enumerable. Instead, use #each to loop over, or get an Enumerator.FIXED: Fix a bug that caused the GEM to be published with the wrong version number in the gemspec (GH-121).
CHANGED: Updated definitions.
NEW: Added PublicSuffix.domain # => sld.tld
NEW: Added the ability to disable the use of private domains either at runtime, in addition to the ability to not load the private domains section when reading the list (private_domains: false). This feature also superseded the private_domains class-level attribute, that is no longer available.
CHANGED: Considerable performance improvements (GH-92)
CHANGED: Updated definitions.
CHANGED: Removed deprecated PublicSuffix::InvalidDomain exception
CHANGED: If the suffix is now listed, then the prevaling rule is “*” as defined by the PSL algorithm (GH-91)
CHANGED: Input validation is performed only if you call PublicSuffix.parse or PublicSuffix.list
CHANGED: Input with leading dot is invalid per PSL acceptance tests
CHANGED: Removed private_domains class-level attribute. It is replaced by the private_domains: false option in the list parse method.
CHANGED: The default list now assumes you use UTF-8 for reading the input (GH-94),
REMOVED: Removed futile utility helpers such as Domain#rule, Domain#is_a_domain?, Domain#is_a_subdomain?, Domain#valid?. You can easily obtain the same result by having a custom method that reconstructs the logic, and/or calling PublicSuffix.{domain|parse}(domain.to_s).
FIXED: Don't duplicate rule indices when creating index (GH-77). [Thanks @ags]
CHANGED: Updated definitions.

FIXED: RuleList cache is not recreated when a new rule is appended to the list (#6)
FIXED: PublicSuffixService.valid? should return false if the domain is not defined or not allowed (#4, #5)
NEW: PublicSuffixService.parse raises DomainNotAllowed when trying to parse a domain name which exists, but is not allowed by the current definition list (#3)
PublicSuffixService.parse("nic.do")
# => PublicSuffixService::DomainNotAllowed
CHANGED: Renamed PublicSuffixService::InvalidDomain to PublicSuffixService::DomainInvalid
CHANGED: Improve documentation for Domain#domain and Domain#subdomain (#1).
CHANGED: Performance improvements (#2).
CHANGED: DomainName#domain and DomainName#subdomain are no longer alias of Domain#sld and Domain#tld.
CHANGED: Removed DomainName#labels and decoupled Rule from DomainName.
CHANGED: DomainName#valid? no longer instantiates new DomainName objects. This means less overhead.
