Hello,

Here’s a bug we’ve run into with chomp. If you run the following code:

abc = “/toheunthª¶˙¨˙≥˜≥˜†˙≤ß߆˙ƒƒƒƒ”.to\_clr\_string  
abc.chomp(’\’).chomp(’/’)  
puts abc

(where abc is really just any string with non-english characters). and  
you’ll get the error:

IronRuby.Libraries:0:in `EndsWith': Array index is out of range. (IndexError) from IronRuby.Libraries:0:in`InternalChomp’  
from :0:in `chomp’  
from /Users/martin/Kode/rbtest/test-intl.rb:3

If you remove the to\_clr\_string everything works fine.

Otherwise RC2 looks pretty great! It seems fater and better!

Thanks,  
Martin
