The IronRuby team is pleased to announce the release of IronRuby 1.1.1
for .NET Framework 4, Silverlight 4 and Windows Phone 7, and IronRuby
Tools for Visual Studio!
All of these are of Alpha quality, the last stable version is still
IronRuby 1.0.

This is the first release of IronRuby that aims to be compatible with
Ruby 1.9.2 and drops support for features specific to previous Ruby
versions. We made the decision to not support 1.8.6, 1.8.7 and 1.9.1
anymore to simplify the implementation. We recommend using IronRuby 1.0
if you need 1.8.6 compatibility.
In this release we implemented many 1.9.2 features. The language grammar
is now fully compatible with 1.9.2, so any file that is a valid Ruby
1.9.2 file should be correctly parsed. The runtime is not yet feature
complete though. The list of unsupported features includes optional
parameters to blocks, nested method parameters, some regular expression
features, and others. In spite of these missing pieces, IronRuby 1.1.1
runs simple Ruby on Rails 3 applications and passes most of the tests in
RoR 3 suite.
For the first time we are also releasing IronRuby integration to Visual
Studio 2010. It is bundled into the single IronRuby.msi you can download
from CodePlex following the link above. The installer offers you an
option to install IronRuby Tools if you have any non-Express SKU of
Visual Studio 2010 installed on the machine. The tools also work with
the free Visual Studio 2010 Integrated
Shellhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=8e5aa7b6-8436-43f0-b778-00c3bca733d3&displaylang=enhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=8e5aa7b6-8436-43f0-b778-00c3bca733d3&displaylang=en.
The integration includes Ruby colorizer and syntax checker, interactive
loop window, directory based project, and templates for common Ruby
applications (including Ruby on Rails 3, Sinatra, Gems and Silverlight
based browser scripting app).
