I'll keep it brief :)

* Updated through the end of "Ruby in its Setting".
* Includes a new chapter on Ruby 1.9's character encoding support.
* removed libraries no longer in 1.9
* Chapter One lists the major changes this release.

Existing owners update from your account page at http://pragprog.com/...

Laziness request: can the gerbils spit out a more descriptive
PDF filename? Especially, helpful would be one with the current
version tacked on the end, e.g., ProgrammingRuby3e-b1.03.pdf
instead of the same ruby3-p-00.pdf each time.

Sheesh ... isn't it enough the gerbils are porting all their gerbil gems
to Ruby 1.9? :)

Bil:

Cool idea to add the version number in. My only problem is working out
how not to invalidate the currently generated PDF names. Let me mull
it over.

Guilty, but only one level deep.

Say I read part way through b1.01, then b1.02 comes out. I need
to save the previous for a comparison of what's changed since last
time and to find my new starting point.
