Folks, It is my pleasure to announce that Ruby 1.8.7 has just been released. The new version of Ruby includes many bug fixes, lots of feature enhancements backported from 1.9 and some performance improvements since 1.8.6 while maintaining stability and backward compatibility with the previous release to a high degree. See the bundled documentation for details about compatibility issues. The source code package is available in three formats at the following locations: ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7.zip Checksums: MD5 (ruby-1.8.7.tar.bz2) = f17f14c8d55e731b3ce1bc35c42f0a6c SHA256 (ruby-1.8.7.tar.bz2) = 65f2a862ba5e88bac7a78cff15bcb88d7534e741b51a1ffb79a0136c7041359a SIZE (ruby-1.8.7.tar.bz2) = 4100024 MD5 (ruby-1.8.7.tar.gz) = de906850f9a012c12ffc6e9f56fb1b66 SHA256 (ruby-1.8.7.tar.gz) = 600dccf13bca3e4179fa6ff554220ce4ba67ffc72bce1ac3bf74c2599c03a0ca SIZE (ruby-1.8.7.tar.gz) = 4799732 MD5 (ruby-1.8.7.zip) = 14d3eb37b32e4a26966bdd80f361ccd2 SHA256 (ruby-1.8.7.zip) = 805987ad167d8f9cac90e4b9342686e96a7708664111be27a3c6d680ce21d6c1 SIZE (ruby-1.8.7.zip) = 5851408 For a brief list of user visible changes and a full list of all changes, see the bundled files named NEWS and ChangeLog, which are also available at the following locations: http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/tags/v1_8_7/NEWS http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/tags/v1_8_7/ChangeLog Enjoy!

After checking the source and change log I've found that Hpricot depends on the erroneous Array#slice! return value which is nil now, i've made a fix and put up a Hpricot mirror with the changes necessary on: http://github.com/manveru/hpricot -- ^ manveru

thank you!
despite the claim of "some performance improvements" (are they
documented anywhere?): tests with the CodeRay syntax highlighting
library - which makes heavy use of StringScanner, Regexp and Hashes -
run about 20-30% slower than they did with 1.8.6. is anybody else
experiencing slowdowns, too? any ideas where to look for the bottleneck
before I profile the whole thing?

Seems this still leaves one failure. I'll contact the author and be back when it's fixed.

I notice that ERB is still broken in Ruby 1.8.7. $ cat test.erb <% n=1 # make n equal to 1 %> something <% n=0 %> something else $ ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2008-06-20 patchlevel 22) [i686-darwin9.3.0] $ erb test.erb something else $ The comment in the ruby inside the <% %> seems to comment out all the non-ruby that follows, until the next <%. Compare with the old behaviour (on my other machine, but it doesn't matter): $ ruby -v ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [x86_64-linux] $ erb test.erb something something else $ - Stephen

I was under the impression that comments were never allowed in ERB. For
example:
$ ruby -v -rerb -e 'p ERB.new("<% 1 + 1 # test %>foo<% 1 + 1
%>bar").result'
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i486-linux]

That it worked in your example is an implementation detail.

All together it now takes 100% longer. I moved back to 1.8.6 put out by the mod_rails guys: http://www.rubyenterpriseedition.com/ And the speed of the tests are back to normal.
