Hi,

For your information, here's the test result from the released Ruby
1.9.0:

  sample/test.rb
  858 tests 0 failed

  bootstraptest/
  821 tests 0 failed

  test/ruby/test_*.rb
  849 tests 1935064 assertions 1 failures 0 errors

  test-all
  3263 tests 2275950 assertions 8 failures 6 errors

We couldn't make it error free, but it's fairly good, we hope.


              matz.

Thanks for the new release! Ruby is a wonderful language.

The zip file above, with a link on the front page of 
http://www.ruby-lang.org, is actually linked to the tar.gz file. Just 
wanted to let you guys know.

Thanks again,

Is this a stable release? Is it intended for production development
like 1.8 was?

"the development release"

As stated at rubyconf and elsewhere, this is a development release. It
is not as solid as 1.8 currently is.

It is probably not a good idea to roll out a "dot zero" of _anything_
into production (eg, I'll NEVER roll out a dot zero (or for that
matter, a dot one) of rails to my production envs).

Thankfully, you don't have long to wait after a dot zero Rails release
to get something else.

We worked hard.  But it's just a beginning.  We still need to do a lot
of work on 1.9:

  * preparing more detailed document of 1.9 changes than the current
    doc/NEWS.

  * some gems for obsolete and lost libraries, e.g. base64.

  * migration path (and tools) from 1.8.

  * document, document, document.

But let us rest for a while.  We welcome volunteers.

That's a copy from svn before release of 1.9.0 on August 30, 2007. The 
release
was on December 25, 2007, so you're missing 4 months of development.
Hopefully the ubuntu maintainers will take some time and update their 
package
soon.

How about updating doc/NEWS file, and sending patches to

I don't think ubuntu updates to new versions of software after the
initial release unless it's a bugfix release.  I think Nei Kai would
have to compile Ruby 1.9.0 to get it.

What about spec.ruby-doc.org? It's already got a lot of documentation
for various aspects of 1.8, and I'd be ecstatic if it could be used as a
cooperative place to document Ruby 1.9 as well.

It's a great place if they accept 1.9 changes in spec.

That would be fantastic.  Perhaps we could branch the 1.8 spec and 1.9
spec so the work can continue on both?

note, there is also noobkit.com. It's being actively nurtured by AlexG
(I know since i've been tracking/using it..). An example is
http://www.noobkit.com/show/ruby/ruby/ruby-core.html. Friendly
interface, full search, and w active links/reference.. My point is, if
people can find things easily, then it would be easy to document..

kind regards -botp

Hi,

On this page:
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/

The 1.9.0 Windows Binary download link is broken. The Christmas Day 2007 
Windows binaries appear to be here:
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/unstable/

I just wanted to let you guys know about this. 1.9.0 has been very fun 
to experiment with so far. Thanks again for the great work!

Brad

We could easily provide a 1.8 and 1.9 entry point, and they could
cross-link whereever necessary. It would simply be a matter of adding
some links to the front-page as it exists now and possibly splitting
some existing articles into 1.8 and 1.9-compatible versions.

I can make this change any time (and of course, so can all of
you)...shall I?

I control the wiki's hosting at the moment, so I could also set it up
for multiple languages, if it would make it easier to get documentation
up to have separate Japanese/English pages.

That would be great, Charles.  I'm looking over what's there now and
hopefully I can start contributing after the holidays.

Thanks!
Jeremy

Jeremy,

I'd like to get involved with this as well.  Let me know when you're
going to start working on it.

Should be fixed now.  Thanks for pointing it out.
