RubyGems 0.9.4.7 is a beta release for the upcoming 0.9.5 which adds  
several new features and fixes several bugs.

To upgrade to the beta:

gem update --system --source [http://segment7.net/](http://segment7.net/)

A tar.gz and .zip of the beta can also be downloaded for manual  
installation:

[http://segment7.net/temp/rubygems-0.9.4.7.tgz](http://segment7.net/temp/rubygems-0.9.4.7.tgz)  
[http://segment7.net/temp/rubygems-0.9.4.7.zip](http://segment7.net/temp/rubygems-0.9.4.7.zip)

Unpack either and run `ruby setup.rb`.

To file bugs:

[http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group\_id=126&atid=575](http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=126&atid=575)

When filing a bug, `gem env` output will be helpful in diagnosing the  
issue.

If you find a bug where RubyGems crashes, please provide debug  
output. You can do that with `gem --debug the_command`. For example:

$ gem --debug unknown\_command  
Exception `RuntimeError' at [...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:114 - Unknown command unknown_command ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError) Unknown command unknown_command [...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:114:in `find\_command’  
[…]/rubygems/command\_manager.rb:103:in `process_args' [...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:74:in `run’  
[…]/rubygems/gem\_runner.rb:39:in `run’  
/usr/local/bin/gem:22

== Changes Since 0.9.4.6

- Backwards compatibility changes to the RubyGems index
- Ruby 1.8.2 compatibility bugfix
- -V now enables verbose instead of -v to avoid collision with –  
version/-v
