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. Download IronRuby 1.1.1 now: [http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases/view/49097](http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases/view/49097) 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 Shell[http://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](http://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).

Rack might be broken. I haven’t tested that one. Note that IronRuby 1.1.1 completely switched to 1.9.2 grammar and libraries so apps/gems that previously worked might be broken now.

Thanks, Tomas. I can’t get any to work. I’ve tried Rake, Rack, Sinatra, and Rails, both with and without the docs. I have reinstalled with the installer and used the binaries. Nothing is working. I also found that --trace doesn’t work with the gem command. At least I can run both ir -S gem and igem now. I’m on Win7. If you can help me understand how to look into the issue, I’m happy to try to track it down. Regards, Ryan On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 10:34 PM, Tomas M. \< ---

You can still build .NET 3.5 binaries (CLR 2.0) build from sources (“msbuild Ruby.sln /p:Configuration=v2Release”), but not the installer. The future support for .NET 3.5 would depend on the amount of interest in it.

Yeah, I tried that, too. Are you not having this problem? I thought I remembered reading something about needing the built-in version of rake somewhere, but I can’t find the reference, nor do I see rake in my list of gems. ☹ Ryan ---

Getting the same when installing sinatra (even from an elevated admin prompt): C:\Windows\system32\>igem install --no-ri --no-rdoc sinatra ERROR: While executing gem … (TypeError) can’t convert NilClass into String Any idea how we can add more trace info to the output to see where we’re getting caught?

I don’t have GEM\_PATH/GEM\_HOME defined anymore. The only other ruby in my path is C:\Users\ryan.gem\ironruby\1.8\bin, which isn’t a Ruby. Actually, I don’t remember what that’s from. I also have pik in my path, which I use to switch between different rubies on Windows. I added IR 1.1.1 through the pik add option. However, I’ve tried it both within pik and on its own. Neither works. I do have IRONRUBY\_10\_20, IRONRUBY\_11, and IRONRUBY\_11\_40 environment variables. I removed those, too, to no effect. I don’t know why IR would have suddenly stopped working for me. Do I need to clear out my IronRuby1.1 folder? I’ve already deleted the folder several times trying to start over. Ryan R.

i logged an issue about it last week: [http://ironruby.codeplex.com/workitem/5326](http://ironruby.codeplex.com/workitem/5326) not sure why it works on a clean vm but it seems to be failing for quite a few people On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 2:36 PM, Kevin R. ---

Out of curiosity, what version of RubyGems are being bundled with IronRuby? – Will G. [http://hotgazpacho.org/](http://hotgazpacho.org/) ---

Hi all, I think to run spec against rubygems 1.3.7 will help identify the issues. result of my investigation the issue have to deal with read\_noneblock() method with the timeout setting, see below that i keep get same error but when i run it several times. it just get download and install.
