RubyInstaller 1.9.3-p327 released

In combination with the rest of the RubyInstaller team, I’m very
pleased to announce the release of RubyInstaller packages for Ruby
1.9.3-p327

As usual, installer and 7z packages are available at RubyInstaller
website and RubyForge for download:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167&release_id=47014

For verification, MD5 signatures of each file released are provided:

7669412cccb414b5a8015cf2301218f5 *ruby-1.9.3-p327-doc-chm.7z
49084fc5ed4e276ad0e7aa13f40044ef *ruby-1.9.3-p327-i386-mingw32.7z
4595debd29cf95df8ba9cea1ed2472fa *rubyinstaller-1.9.3-p327.exe

Installer is also digitally signed to avoid alterations and UAC
warnings.

You can read Ruby’s own announcement here:

= What’s new?

Beyond what is covered by Ruby itself, we have our own set of
improvements:

  • Enhancements:

    • Upgraded Ruby 1.9.3 to patchlevel 327
  • Bugfixes:

    • Disable Japanese support until changes to #139 are made

NOTES:

Upgrade to this version is extremely recommended as contains security
fixes.

There is also a hidden reward in this version, just for Windows.

Dare to guess what is it?

I hoped that #7158 would boost everything even more than pretty old tcs
build :frowning: It still takes ~7 seconds to rake -T.

As I said before: it wouldn’t. TheCodeShop included Fenix patches
which are what got integrated in #7158.

You’re waiting for a miracle that is not possible.

You need to reduce the number of File.expand_path that you’re doing in
your Rakefiles, that will help.

What #7158 does is improve require itself, not File.expand_path.

If File.expand_path is done a lot, there is nothing that #7158 can do to
help.

It takes about 20 though on previous versions. I guess i just don’t have too
capable laptop :slight_smile: But still, i’m hoping for the best!

From 20 seconds to 7 and you complain? oh dear, you’re a really hard
customer :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, thank you for that nice surprise, at least it is now mainstream to
get yourself a faster Ruby :slight_smile:

You’re welcome I guess, I had a sense you’re complaining about this :frowning:

Hello,

Thank You for keeping up the good work!

Is it #7158 (Bug #7158: require is slow in its bookkeeping; can make Rails startup 2.2x faster - Ruby master - Ruby Issue Tracking System)? I’m not sure since
compared to tcs-ruby there’s no speed difference with rake -T under Rails
project for example.

Yes, #7158 was backported to Ruby 1.9.3.

TheCodeShop (tcs) releases already include such optimizations (along
others), so isn’t fair compare against it :wink:

But if you compare official releases of RubyInstaller:

Then I hope you notice the difference.
