= Announce: RubyGems Release 1.0.1

Release 1.0.1 fixes a few bugs.

Bugs Fixed:

* Installation on Ruby 1.8.3 through 1.8.5 fixed
* `gem build` on 1.8.3 fixed

Other Changes Include:

* Since RubyGems 0.9.5, RubyGems is no longer supported on Ruby 1.8.2
or older,
this is official in RubyGems 1.0.1.

== How can I get RubyGems?

NOTE: If you have installed RubyGems using a package you may want to
install a
new RubyGems through the same packaging system.

If you have a recent version of RubyGems (0.8.5 or later), then all
you need to do is:

$ gem update --system (you might need to be admin/root)

(Note: You may have to run the command twice if you have any previosly
installed rubygems-update gems).

If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still
do it in two steps:

$ gem install rubygems-update (again, might need to be admin/root)
$ update_rubygems (... here too)

If you don't have any gems install, there is still the pre-gem
approach to getting software ... doing it manually:

1. DOWNLOAD FROM: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?gr...
2. UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE
3. INSTALL WITH: ruby setup.rb (you may need admin/root privilege)

== To File Bugs

The RubyGems bug tracker can be found on RubyForge at:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=126&am...

When filing a bug, `gem env` output will be helpful in diagnosing the
issue.

If you find a bug where RubyGems crashes, please provide debug output.
You can
do that with `gem --debug the_command`.

== Thanks

Keep those gems coming!

I have Ruby and RubyGems installed both in Windows using the "One-
Click" installer, and in Cygwin. At the DOS prompt, I have to type
"gem update --system" to update the Windows RubyGems. But in Cygwin,
RubyGems will update itself if I just do "gem update", without
specifying the --system flag. Has anyone else seen this?

1.0.1 works great thus far on my OS X 10.4.11 with Ruby 1.8.4

Can you post a screenshot of this behavior?

Well, it's kinda too late now since I already upgraded. But there's
really not much to show; Under DOS, I did "gem update", and it just
updated one gem. Then I did "gem update --system", and it updated
RubyGems to 1.0.1, printing out a whole ton of stuff. Then in Cygwin,
I did "gem update" and it printed out all the exact same stuff as "gem
update --system" did under DOS, after which "gem -v" indicated that it
was now version 1.0.1.

The ruby interperter you ran on cygwin was a cygwin ruby? (ruby -v
should indicate cygwin as platform).

I'm asking this since some users have ruby in they path mixing
native(vc6 or mingw) ruby with cygwin environment end in broken
things.

Using gem 1.0.1 install via gems update --system

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>gem -v
1.0.1

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>gem which rubygems
(checking gem rubygems-update-1.0.1 for rubygems)
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>

How come it cannot "see" these gems which are available from
rubyforge?
win32-api-1.0.5-x86-mswin32-60.gem or
win32-service-0.6.0-x86-mswin32-60.gem

ps neither does gems -v 0.9.4

I downloaded the gems from rubyforge and did a local install
which worked out correctly -- no problem that I know of.

Am I correct that it is not necessary to install rubygems-update if
I do a gem update --system?

Thank yous to the rubygems team, your work is much appreciated.
