Anyone know when Ruby 1.9 will be released? Does Rails 2.0 run on it?  
Mongrel? Cap? I’ve had a hard time determining the answers through  
some cursory googling.

Matz likes to give a new version of Ruby as a Christmas present, we  
expect it next Tuesday.

As I understand it, not completely, but one of the core team members  
is working full time on fixing that. Of course, until Ruby 1.9.0  
actually ships and freezes what 1.9 means, it’s kind of a moot  
question.

Don’t know, there’s probably some work to be done.

That all said, Ruby 1.8.x will continue to be the ruby platform for  
production for some months. As I understand what Matz has said, Ruby  
1.9 will freeze as far as it’s functional specification goes next  
week, but there’s still work to be done to make it fully production  
quality.

Ruby 1.9.1 will be released for christmas.

I don’t know about Rails compatibility, though. We will see that. As  
1.9.1 is the first  
version of Ruby that is feature-complete, it will take some time  
before there will  
be “compatible” software for it. Before the release date, some  
features switched back  
and forth, even last month…

Thanks for the information and of course all of the hard work. I’m  
really looking forward to deploying Rails apps with Rubby v1.9.
