[ANN] 0.10.2 release with win32 gem

Ruby Apps Ferret
1

Hey all,

I’ve just released Ferret version 0.10.2. It is mostly just a bug fix
release. The only change is that a highlight method has been added to
Ferret::Index::Index. Please try it out and let me know what you
think.

The big news for this release is that there is also a binary win32 gem
included. This is the first time I’ve build a gem like this so please
let me know if there are any issues.

Cheers,
Dave

What happens when I upload my site from Windows XP to a Linux host, do I
have to get another gem? This is the only thing I’m really unsure about.
Obviously I need the Win32 as my test environment is a Windows machine.

Hey …

it’s the same gem… just run “gem install ferret” on your windows and
your
linux machine… gem will take care of the rest… :slight_smile:
