rubygems-update version 1.3.6 has been released! - [http://rubygems.org/](http://rubygems.org/) - [http://docs.rubygems.org/](http://docs.rubygems.org/) - [http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/](http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/) - [http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems) RubyGems is a package management framework for Ruby. This gem is an update for the RubyGems software. You must have an installation of RubyGems before this update can be applied. See Gem for information on RubyGems (or `ri Gem`) To upgrade to the latest RubyGems, run: $ gem update --system # you might need to be an administrator or root NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to use the following instructions if you see “Nothing to update”. If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still do it in two steps: $ gem install rubygems-update # again, might need to be admin/root $ update\_rubygems # … here too If you don’t have any RubyGems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software, doing it manually: 1. Download from: [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=126](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126) 2. Unpack into a directory and cd there 3. Install with: ruby setup.rb # you may need admin/root privilege For more details and other options, see: ruby setup.rb --help Changes: ### 1.3.6 / 2010-02-17 NOTE: [http://rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org) is now the default source for downloading gems.

New features: - `gem` commands - Added `gem push` and `gem owner` for interacting with modern/Gemcutter sources - `gem dep` now supports --prerelease. - `gem fetch` now supports --prerelease. - `gem server` now supports --bind.

Patch #25982 by Akinori MUSHA. - Captial letters are now allowed in prerelease versions. Bug fixes: - Development deps are no longer added to rubygems-update gem so older versions can update sucessfully. - Installer bugs: - Prerelease gems can now depend on non-prerelease gems. - Development dependencies are ignored unless explicitly needed. Bug #27608 by Roger P… - `gem` commands - `gem which` now fails if no paths were found. Adapted patch #27681 by Caio C… - `gem server` no longer has invalid markup. Bug #27045 by Eric Young. - `gem list` and friends show both prerelease and regular gems when –prerelease --all is given - Gem::Format no longer crashes on empty files.

I didn’t try to reproduce it, but I’ll ignore it unless somebody else has the same problem. ---
