IronRuby 1.1.1 Released!

on 2010-10-22 02:11

The IronRuby team is pleased to announce the release of IronRuby 1.1.1 
for .NET Framework 4, Silverlight 4 and Windows Phone 7, and IronRuby 
Tools for Visual Studio!
All of these are of Alpha quality, the last stable version is still 
IronRuby 1.0.

This is the first release of IronRuby that aims to be compatible with 
Ruby 1.9.2 and drops support for features specific to previous Ruby 
versions. We made the decision to not support 1.8.6, 1.8.7 and 1.9.1 
anymore to simplify the implementation. We recommend using IronRuby 1.0 
if you need 1.8.6 compatibility.
In this release we implemented many 1.9.2 features. The language grammar 
is now fully compatible with 1.9.2, so any file that is a valid Ruby 
1.9.2 file should be correctly parsed. The runtime is not yet feature 
complete though. The list of unsupported features includes optional 
parameters to blocks, nested method parameters, some regular expression 
features, and others. In spite of these missing pieces, IronRuby 1.1.1 
runs simple Ruby on Rails 3 applications and passes most of the tests in 
RoR 3 suite.
For the first time we are also releasing IronRuby integration to Visual 
Studio 2010. It is bundled into the single IronRuby.msi you can download 
from CodePlex following the link above. The installer offers you an 
option to install IronRuby Tools if you have any non-Express SKU of 
Visual Studio 2010 installed on the machine. The tools also work with 
the free Visual Studio 2010 Integrated 
Shell<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx.... 
The integration includes Ruby colorizer and syntax checker, interactive 
loop window, directory based project, and templates for common Ruby 
applications (including Ruby on Rails 3, Sinatra, Gems and Silverlight 
based browser scripting app).
This release also fixes the following bugs:

the new non-Microsoft coordinators. See Jason's blog 
post<http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jasonz/archive/2010/10/21/...
