Hi everyone, Does anyone know the general status of Ruby 2.0? I take it’s probably a release time of “when its ready”, but thought I’d check. Also, has YARV officially been announced as the VM for Ruby? As if so, will it be in the 1.9 or 2.0 release? Thanks everyone. -Josh ---

When it’s ready, seen rumors of late this year. It’s becoming awfully late already 😃 And yeah, YARV will be default. It is already in 1.9 and will be default onwards from there. ---

Also, Ruby follows the normal release numbering scheme Major.Minor.BugFixes Aka 1.8.6 is the current When Minor numbers are odd, it’s a development release, when Minor numbers are even, it’s a production release. Thus, the production release of 1.9 will be called 2.0 Jason ---

Quoth Jason R.: > Jason I wouldn’t say it’s “Major.Minor.BugFixes” so much as “Major.SemiMajor.Minor”. After all, 1.8.5 adding non-blocking I/O methods didn’t fix _bugs_ in the interpreter. Regards, ---

The production (actually I think it would be more proper to call it functionally stable) release of 1.9 will be 1.9.1 (or maybe 1.9.0) and will be released on Christmas of 2007. 2.0 will shortly thereafter be the experimental version. – Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby [http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/](http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/) ---
