rubygems-update version 1.5.0 has been released! - [http://rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org) - [http://docs.rubygems.org](http://docs.rubygems.org) - [http://help.rubygems.org](http://help.rubygems.org) - [http://github.com/rubygems](http://github.com/rubygems) - [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 See UPGRADING.rdoc for more details and alternative instructions. * * * NOTE: Ruby 1.9 ships with rubygems and contains a very buggy “gem-prelude”. It is a gem loading system that can interfere with updating rubygems itself. We do NOT recommend you update to rubygems 1.4 if you’re running ruby 1.9.x until we get that sorted out in a future ruby release. If you absolutely hate kittens and you _must_ upgrade, you’re going to have to do something really hokey like: % alias ruby19=“ruby19 --disable-gems” % alias gem19=“ruby19 --disable-gems -S gem” Even deleting the stock rubygems in 1.9 doesn’t fix this situation. * * * If you don’t have any RubyGems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software, doing it manually: - Download from: [Download RubyGems | RubyGems.org | your community gem host](https://rubygems.org/pages/download) - Unpack into a directory and cd there - Install with: ruby setup.rb # you may need admin/root privilege For more details and other options, see: ruby setup.rb --help Changes: ### 1.5.0 / 2011-01-31 Major Enhancements: - Finally fixed all known 1.9.x issues. Upgrading is now possible! - Merged huge 1.3.7/ruby-core changes to master. Minor Enhancements: - Added UPGRADING.rdoc to help deal with 1.9 issues. - Gem::Format now gives better errors for corrupt gem files and includes paths - Pre-install hooks can now abort gem installation by returning false - Move shareable TestCase classes to lib/ to help plugin authors with tests. - Add post-build hooks that can cancel the gem install - Always require custom\_require now that require\_gem is gone - Added GemInstaller accessors for @options so plugins can reference them. - Optimized Gem.find\_files. ~10% faster than 1.4.2. ~40% faster than ruby 1.9. - Gem::SilentUI now behaves like Gem::StreamUI for asking questions. Patch by Erik H… Bug Fixes: - `gem update` was implicitly doing --system. - 1.9.3: Fixed encoding errors causing gem installs to die during rdoc phase. - Add RubyForge URL to README. Closes #28825 - 1.9.3: Use chdir {} when building extensions to prevent warnings. Fixes #4337 - 1.9.2: Fix circular require warning. - Make requiring openssl even lazier at request of NaHi - `gem unpack` will now download the gem if it is not in the cache. Patch by Erik H… - rubygems-update lists its development dependencies again ---

I forgot to remove this section from the README before release. This only applies to 1.4. RubyGems 1.5 will install on 1.9.2 ---

It comes just a month after the release of 1.4 which, notoriously, didn't work with Ruby 1.9.2. These problems have now all been ironed out and Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 users alike can safely upgrade... “RubyGems 1.5.0 and Bundler are not the best of friends! If you’re depending on Bundler tonight, don’t install RubyGems 1.5.0 just yet. However, a 1.5 compatible version of Bundler is due within the next 24 hours.” ---
