Hi all. We released Ruby 1.8.5-p12, the latest stable version of Ruby. There are several fixes made when 1.8.5 had not been branched yet. On this release we backported them into 1.8.5. ``` ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.5-p12.tar.gz d7d12dd9124c9b7d55cdbbee313e3931 ``` Happy holiday. ---

Builds and installs OK on Mac OS X 10.3.9. I have a question though: When I run “make test-all”, it takes a very long time (I killed it after 28 minutes) and some of the tests give errors (not failures). Is this correct? Thanks, AdSR ---
