Hi, We announce 1.9.2 release plan: - 31 Mar. freeze the spec - 30 Apr. freeze the code - 31 May. release 1.9.2-preview2 - 30 Jun. release 1.9.2-rc - 31 Jul. release 1.9.2-p0 The following will be proceeded at each event: === freeze the spec (31 Mar.) === - close and identify 1.9.2 feature tickets === freeze the code (30 Apr.) === - close feature implementation for 1.9.2 - create ruby\_1\_9\_2 branch === release 1.9.2-preview2 (31 May.) === - fix 1.9.2 feature set - identify bug tickets that should be fixed in 1.9.2 - call for 3rd party to check 1.9.2-preview2 This release may be delayed (at most) a week only if some “essential” feature (e.g., dl on libffi) are not stable yet. === release 1.9.2-rc (30 Jun.) === - finish to fix 1.9.2 bug tickets This release may be delayed as long as any bug tickets remain. === release 1.9.2-p0 (31 Jul.) === - wait for bug report in about two weeks After that, when there is no bug ticket, 1.9.2-p0 will be released. This plan is approved by Yugui, the 1.9 release manager. At first, you should hurry to appeal your feature request, if any. Thanks, ---

I’d like to bring attention to: [http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2629](http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2629) It is a potential API change. ---

> One ticket I would like to bring some attention to is 2152 (Float#to\_s) Another would be this issue: [http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2012](http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2012) setting event\_flags on thread creation Koichi could you take a look at that patch sometime?

Hi, 2010/3/16 Hongli L. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): > I’d like to bring attention to: > [http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2629](http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2629) > It is a potential API change. Nice info. We’ll judge only “Feature” tickets at the end of Mar. If we figure out that some “Bug” tickets include spec change after Mar., they will be rejected unless it is inevitable (e.g., SEGV is caused by wrong API design). So, please let us know such bug tickets now. ---

Hi, I think some of the remaining unicode path issues on windows can be addressed for 1.9.2. I have uploaded a patch for Dir.mkdir: [http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1685](http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1685) I will attempt File.stat next. Regards, Bill ---

Sorry, I was not aware of win32-unicode-test branch. It appears to be mostly complete, and cleanly implemented. I see in [http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2026](http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2026) that U.Nakamura said: You can see what we are doing about Windows’ Unicode path name support on win32-unicode-test branch. The results of the branch will be merged to trunk before 1.9.2 feature freeze. Is there a reason the code should not be merged? Regards, Bill ---

Hi, I have been travelling and otherwise quite busy recently, so I have been accumulating some feature requests I didn’t get the time to post. I will do so today. Please excuse the fact that it is a bit last minute. Hopefully some of them are simple and compelling enough that we can agree on the specs in time for feature freeze. Thanks. Marc-Andr
