ruby-oci8 1.0.1 is released. This is a Oracle module using OCI8 API. [http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/) ruby-oci8-unstalbe 2.0-svn-262 is also released. This will be ruby-oci8 2.0 in future. Many features are added. Some of them are contributed by Oracle Corporation. Excuse me for not writing changes between 1.0 and 2.0. What’s new in ruby-oci8 1.0.1. 1. [SPEC CHANGE] OCI8#exec and OCI8::Cursor#exec’s return value is changed for statement except select, insert, update and delete statement. 2. fix a bug that OraDate.new made a core dump on x86\_64 linux. (reported by Alun Eyre) 3. fix OCI8#non\_blocking = false problem. Once the connection became non-bocking mode, it could not be reset to blocking mode. Now it can be reset. (reported by Cagdas Gerede) 4. support cursors in a result set. (contributed by Randy Gordon) 5. fix oraconf.rb for official x86\_64 linux rpms. (contributed by Pat) ---

No. I don’t know how to make binary gems for mswin32. Is there any article which explains the way? ---

I misread ‘rpms’ as ‘gems’. But same answer. No official ruby-oci8 rpms will be made because the compiled binary may not work on other distributions and with different oracle versions. It is a task of distributor’s package managers. > > 1. fix oraconf.rb for official x86\_64 linux rpms. > > (contributed by Pat) This means “official x86\_64 linux instant client rpms.” ---

Here it is what I do. If anyone have a better procedure, I’d like to know. I use a Rakefile for building gems: > But when building a binary gem, I need to add s.platform = Gem::Platform::CURRENT to the gemspec, which adds the platform name to the name of the gem. I also add the shared object to the list of files. Finally I build the extension and run rake package to create the distribution files.
