Differences between 1.8.2 and 1.8.4

Is there any place that summarizes the major differences between Ruby
1.8.2 and Ruby 1.8.4?

I've got Ruby 1.8.2 installed in a bunch of places and am wondering if
it's worth it to upgrade.

Thanks,
Joe

I don't really care too much about security, mainly bugs and speed.

We're working on it at ruby-dev ML, and
http://www.ruby-lang.org/ja/man/?cmd=view;name=ruby+1.8...
