• Import Emoji 13.0 characters

• Reverted #164 since it was an “improvement” that only made sense in theory, but in practice just broke other people's use cases.

See v4.0.0.pre0 for the list of breaking changes since v3.x ⚠️

New features 🆕

• Includes all emojis from Unicode 11 and Unicode 12

Breaking changes ⚠️

• This library no longer ships with the gemoji extract executable nor any scripts to extract emoji PNG fallback images from macOS into your app. For now, obtaining fallback images from one of the available open source emoji sets is left as an exercise to the user.

• These methods were removed:

  • Emoji.apple_palette
  • Emoji.apple_palette_file
  • Emoji.images_path

• These Emoji::* constants were made private: VARIATION_SELECTOR_16, ZERO_WIDTH_JOINER, FEMALE_SYMBOL, MALE_SYMBOL, TEXT_GLYPHS

• The order that emojis are listed in is now dictated by the Unicode spec and is no longer the exact order that emojis appear in in macOS/iOS character palette.

• Some emoji categories have changed:

  • People → "Smileys & Emotion" + "People & Body"
  • Nature → "Animals & Nature"
  • Foods → "Food & Drink"
  • Activity → "Activities"
  • Places → "Travel & Places"

• Remove all non-standard ("custom") emojis https://github.com/github/gemoji/pull/158 🔥

  • :basecamp:
  • :basecampy:
  • :bowtie:
  • :feelsgood:
  • :finnadie:
  • :goberserk:
  • :godmode:
  • :hurtrealbad:
  • :neckbeard:
  • :octocat:
  • :rage1:
  • :rage2:
  • :rage3:
  • :rage4:
  • :shipit:
  • :suspect:
  • :trollface:

Misc. 🔧

• Freeze and dedup string literals when using a modern Ruby version to reduce memory allocations

• Add a "laugh", "hooray" tags to 😄 and 🎉

• Add sassy_woman/sassy_man alias to information desk people

• Add "police", "law", and "cop" as tags for :policewoman:

• Regenerate emoji.json with minimal raw representations (no VARIATION SELECTOR 16 unless necessary)

• Allow specifying image size with gemoji extract <path> --size=64

• Add new iOS 10.2 emoji
• Immediately preload emoji in memory to avoid race conditions when multithreading
