Dear IronRuby community,

Were pleased to announce the release of IronRuby 1.1.2. The binaries  
and the installer are now available at CodePlex:  
[http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases/view/55250](http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases/view/55250).

IronRuby 1.1.2 is a servicing release that keeps on improving  
compatibility with Ruby 1.9.2 and includes IronRuby integration to  
Visual Studio 2010. We decided to drop 1.8.6 compatibility mode in all  
post-1.0 releases. We recommend using IronRuby 1.0 if you need 1.8.6  
compatibility.

In this release we fixed several major issues:

- problems that blocked Gem installation in certain cases
- regex syntax: the parser was replaced with a new one that is much  
more compatible with Ruby 1.9.2
- crashes or incorrect behavior on Windows Phone 7

The following bugs were fixed:  
5728 Unable to create Ruby on Rails project using Visual Studio 2010,  
error: can’t convert NilClass into String  
5638 IronRuby 1.1.1 + VS2010 Tools Installer does not include Windows  
bins  
5650 installing rspec gem fails  
5645 Installing rake ri documentation fails  
5326 installing rspec gem fails  
5667 Iron Rack Fixes  
5695 Visual Studio 2010 Iron Ruby 1.1.1 Gem Problem is NOT FIXED!!!  
4132 CLR strings are not the same as IronRuby strings as far as a Hash  
is concerned  
5572 Exception while compiling rbconfig  
5441 Install to different location does not  
5050 Implement String#encode (for JSON support)  
4356 irw.exe  
5144 Regex: Nested quantifier  
4433 WP7 support  
5117 Regexp not compat with MRI (failing REXML specs)

Thanks to everyone who contributed in any form! Keep it up!
