Ruby 1.8.5 released

Yukihiro Matsumoto

8/25/2006 8:46:00 AM

Hello,

We have just released the latest stable version of Ruby.
This is a bug fix release. There should be no big
difference from 1.8.4. We hope 1.8.5 is more stable and
reliable than its preceding versions.

Happy Hacking!

Good news!

If anybody is interested, I've written a change summary:

Great! I can't wait for the Windows Installer version of Ruby 1.8.5
(which will hopefully for a change be compiled with a recent MS
compiler such as MSVC++ 20005) :-)

Cheers,
Morten

I don't think that version of Microsoft's programming suite is due for
another 18000 years...

#pretty_inspect, How's that different from #pp and why not just #pi?

Not until certain things have been worked out. ;)

Hi Ryan,

I've used VC 7.1 (Visual C++ Toolkit 2003).

I hope not. Visual Studio 8.0 has introduced all sorts of stupidities to
the C/C++ world which should have stayed confined to the .NET world.

Stupidities like manifests and the inability to do
LoadLibrary("MSVCR80.DLL") for similar reasons.

I often build trivial apps for testing purposes and sometimes deploy
them to others computers. Not a problem with VC 6.0,7.0,7.1. Can't do it
with 8.0 - complains about missing manifests and all manner of things.
Can't find any documentation about it. I guess I should buy a $600
Windows Installer based installer so that I can deploy my trivial app
internally in the company (*). Simpler to stick with VC 6.0 and just
copy the two files required across the network.

Keep it simple, use VC 6.0, 7.0 or 7.1.

Stephen

(*) I did do this 5 years ago only to find that on most Windows NT 4.0
computers (in the UK at least) the MSI installer would fail and no patch
from MS would fix it. Solution: Use a non "Windows Installer" installer.
