[ANN] Ruby 1.8.6 has been released

Akinori MUSHA

Hello,

I am pleased to announce that Ruby 1.8.6, the latest release from the
1.8 stable branch, has finally been released.

This version of Ruby is a steady and reasonable enhancement of the 1.8
series including many bug and security fixes, standard library
updates, feature enhancements and performance improvements keeping
high backward compatibility with the previous release (1.8.5).

The source code tarballs are available in several formats at the
following locations:

ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8...
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1....
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby...

Checksums:
MD5 (ruby-1.8.6.tar.bz2) = e558a0e00ae318d43bf6ff9af452bad2
SHA256 (ruby-1.8.6.tar.bz2) = 0fc6ad0b31d8ec3997db2a56a2ac1c235283a3607abb876300fc711b3f8e3dd7
SIZE (ruby-1.8.6.tar.bz2) = 3946186

SIZE (ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz) = 4589394

SHA256 (ruby-1.8.6.zip) = c4b011d66b3f7e3bddbdf61a7404120d5ac80c6b742ad08e7e75b6d14ee56e76
SIZE (ruby-1.8.6.zip) = 5545642

For a brief list of user visible changes and a full list of all
changes since 1.8.5, see the bundled files named NEWS and ChangeLog,
which are also available at the following locations:

http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/tags/v...
http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/tags/v1_8_6...


After this announcement, we will start the development for 1.8.7 as
well as maintaining the "ruby_1_8_6" branch on which only critical
bugs and security vulnerabilities found in the 1.8.6 release are
fixed, and patch releases will follow on appropriate and timely
occasions. Please check them out after upgrading Ruby to 1.8.6.


Finally, I'd like to thank all those who helped me with the release
engineering. All your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

I installed Ruby the hivelogic.com way, how do I upgrade it? (How to
remove the old version and install this one?)

Does this will affect my gems and ri docs?

Thanks

Interesting. I have 8.8.0 on my PPC machine, and 8.8.1 on the Intel
machine. The PPC machine has no end of problems with Ruby (mostly
with gems), though.

IIRC gcc 4.0.1 does have it's problems. Maybe you can try compiling
with gcc 3. Just
do a "gcc_select 3.x" where 3.x is the version of gcc 3 installed on
your system.

The ruby you are building is linking against the ruby lib in /opt/
local/lib. Can you try moving that out of the way first?
