rb-readline is available via RubyGems [1] or downloaded as a zip archive
from
GitHub [2].

Users of RubyInstaller for Windows should note that installing the Gem
will not replace the bundled version of rb-readline (which will still be
loaded unless you alter the $LOAD_PATH). To do that, you should download
the ZIP archive and install it into site_ruby using setup.rb. You can
see which version is loaded by checking the value of
RbReadline::RB_READLINE_VERSION.

Users of RubyInstaller 2.0.0 already have version 0.5.0.pre.1, so manual
upgrade is not required.
