Forum: Ruby RubyInstaller releases delayed

Our goal is to release signed Windows installers, 7z archives, and 
documentation for the RubyInstaller within 24 hours of official 
ruby-core releases.

Due to availability realities, we will not be providing updated 
RubyInstaller's today coincident with ruby-core's recent 1.8.7-p371 and 
1.9.3-p286 releases. We're targeting releases for both no later than the 
end of October. Perhaps we'll try to be clever and call these the Casper 
Crew releases.

For those of us adventurous souls not blessed with infinite patience, 
we've got you covered.

Use one of our wrist-friendly automated build recipes (yes, the same 
ones we use to build and releases) to cook up your own personal 
RubyInstaller binary archive!

For example, once you cloned our GitHub repo from 
https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller building a RubyInstaller 7z 
archive for the 1.9.3-p286 release can be as easy as running

  rake ruby19
  rake ruby19:package:archive

Pick the resulting `ruby-1.9.3-p286-i386-mingw32.7z` (and MD5 checksum 
file) from the pkg/ subdirectory and extract. That's it. Simple.

Thank you for your continued interest and support of the RubyInstaller 
for Windows project. We're working to deliver updated releases just as 
soon as we can. Keep an eye out for one of Luis Lavena's familiar 
release emails.

As always, if you have any difficulties, jump over to our mailing list 
and we'll do our best to help you out
