pik version 0.1.0 has been released! - [http://github.com/vertiginous/pik](http://github.com/vertiginous/pik) - Pik is a tool to switch between multiple versions of ruby on Windows. Or to put it another way doskey rvm=pik $\* # (sort of) You have to tell it where your different ruby versions live using ‘pik add’. Then you can change to one by using ‘pik switch’. It also has a “sort of” multiruby functionality in ‘pik run’. Changes: ### 0.1.0 / 2009-09-24 - removed jruby support for the time being (lack of win32ole is a problem) - added more helpful messages to pik add - renamed gemdup to gemsync. fixed the code up a bit - added default and implode commands, shortcuts for switch, more specs, lots of refactors - removed add\_gem\_home command. GEM\_HOME can be configured with pik config - change remove ‘force’ to ‘quiet’ - added simpler switch semantics (`pik 191 p243` instead of `pik switch 191 p243`) - added gemdup command - option parsing is now done with optparse and not a regex - rewrote pik to use classes for each command in the hopes that my code would be easier to read - Added post install instructions - issue 5. Switched to Hoe.spec for Hoe compatibility. added Hoe-git plugin. - added verbose output and current version specifier to ‘list’ - added ‘use’ as an alias for ‘switch’ - cleaner method of remvoving .pik/pik batch file, fixed some long lines ---

Kind of similar approach to rvm, but in Ruby for Windows. > **[Issues · vertiginous/pik](https://github.com/vertiginous/pik/issues/#issue/17)** > > Ruby version manager for Windows.

We’ve long wanted someone to wire up win32ole to it for JRuby, but nobody’s gotten around to it ☹ - Charlie
