Asp Forum - [ANN] One-Click Installer 1.8.2-14 RC10

This release is mainly in upgrade the included FreeRIDE
IDE to version 0.9.0. There have been some minor fixes,
but nothing of importance. If you are not interested in
FreeRIDE, there is no need to download this release.

(To those who are waiting: I will try to get OpenSSL
into the next release.)

As always, when Matz releases Ruby 1.8.2 final, then I
will release the final 1.8.2 version of the One-Click
Installer.

You can download this release candidate from:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?gr...

Curt

Changes Since 1.8.1-13:
- This is a build of Ruby 1.8.2 preview3.
- Added RubyGems 0.8.1
- Added FreeRIDE 0.9.0
- Upgraded Ruby-odbc to version 0.994
- TCL/TK support no longer sets any environment
variables.
- Corrected missing OpenGL support.
- Added Start Menu shortcuts to documentation
on ruby-doc.org.
- Eliminated the installer dialog message that
warned you might need to reboot your system.
This allows for unattended installs using the
command-line arguments:
/S /D=<install dir>
- Changed the layout of the Windows registry
entries.
- Fixed a typo in a windows registry entry
(bug 643).
- Upgraded Expat to version 1.95.7

Nobody responded to my previous email so i ask here again.
The one click installer puts the generated ri (yaml) files in

C:\ruby\share\ri\1.8\site

and not in

C:\ruby\share\ri\1.8\system

as described in the "Programming Ruby" book.
I think this is an error but i'm not 100% sure.

Sorry, I must have missed it.

I haven't changed anything about this since I began working on the one-click
installer project, so if it is wrong, then it has always been wrong. I see
that you cc'd Dave on this, so her should be able to give a definitive
answer.... Dave?

A minor annoyance/clash between FreeRIDE and the Ruby One-Click
Installer: It looks like the One-Click Installer installs FreeRIDE in
C:\ruby\freeride, but the FreeRIDE stand-alone installer defaults to
"C:\Program Files\FreeRIDE".

I originally used the One-Click Installer, but then upgraded FreeRIDE
using its stand-alone installer. So, now I have an outdated (and
apparently broken, see below) version of FreeRIDE in C:\ruby\freeride,
and a newer (working) version under "C:\Program Files\FreeRIDE".

I think the One-Click Installer and the FreeRIDE stand-alone installer
should settle on a single standard installation directory for FreeRIDE.
I would like to be able to upgrade FreeRIDE without waiting for the
next One-Click Installer release.

FWIW, this is what happens when I try to run FreeRIDE 0.7.0 now:

C:\ruby\freeride>run.bat
C:\ruby\freeride>ruby freeride.rb

I have a problem with the previous OneClickInstaller for Windows.
Specifically, I can't input symbols like '@' or '#' or '[' or ']' in
the irb shell anymore. I'm using an italian keyboard layout: those
symbols you can input using AltGr plus another key (for example, ']' is
typed by pressing AltGr and '+' at the same time). Is it just me, or
have others reported a similar problem? I'm running under a Windows XP
Home OS.

Giulio Piancastelli.

I suspect it should be in \system, but ri will find them in either
place...

This is my fault, I should have mentioned this in the announcement...

There is an incompatibility in the persistent config files between FreeRIDE
0.7.0 and later versions (both the FreeRIDE installer and the one-click
installer are version 0.9.0). The ay to fix this is to delete the old config
files and let them automatically get recreated the next time you run
FreeRIDE.

Go to %USERPROFILE% (usually that is "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>")
and delete the "freeride" subdirectory). The run FreeRIDE and all should be
ok.

Curt

PS

The FreeRIDE installer is different, and needs to install in a separate
location. It includes its own runtime version of Ruby, and will run
independently of whatever version of Ruby you have installed.

"\M-[": "["
"\M-]": "]"
"\M-\\": "\\"
"\M-|": "|"
"\M-@": "@"

To the maintainers of the one click installer: Please fix IRB. It always
uses readline. The error is in irb/context.rb:

> if (defined?(ReadlineInputMethod) &&
> (use_readline?)) || IRB.conf[:PROMPT_MODE] != :INF_RUBY && STDIN.tty?))
> @io = ReadlineInputMethod.new
> else
> @io = StdioInputMethod.new
> end

This should be this:

> if (defined?(ReadlineInputMethod) &&
> (use_readline?))
> @io = ReadlineInputMethod.new
> else
> @io = StdioInputMethod.new
> end

It would also be very nice if a default .inputrc could be included. This
is causing trouble for all German and Italian users and I guess there
are others that are affected by this, too...

Danish and Swedish as far as I know. And probably everyone with a
"European" (or non-US-American) keyboard layout.
