Ruby 2.0 & YARV

JavaJava

11/29/2007 5:06:00 PM

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know the general status of Ruby 2.0? I take it's probably a
release time of "when its ready", but thought I'd check.

Also, has YARV officially been announced as the VM for Ruby? As if so,
will it be in the 1.9 or 2.0 release?

Thanks everyone.

When it's ready, seen rumors of late this year. It's becoming awfully late
already :-D

And yeah, YARV will be default. It is already in 1.9 and will be default
onwards from there.

Also, Ruby follows the normal release numbering scheme

Major.Minor.BugFixes

Aka

1.8.6 is the current

When Minor numbers are odd, it's a development release, when Minor numbers
are even, it's a production release.

Thus, the production release of 1.9 will be called 2.0

These sorts of things traditionally happen on Christmas day.

Heh. I always wanted a big, red ruby in my stocking.

No, Matz announced on ruby-core some time ago that this has changed.
It's the existence of a teeny number which indicates stability.

The production (actually I think it would be more proper to call it
functionally stable) release of 1.9 will be 1.9.1 (or maybe 1.9.0) and
will be released on Christmas of 2007.

2.0 will shortly thereafter be the experimental version.
