It is expected to release a few days before Christmas.

Has anyone said which Christmas?


Besides which, I imagine that 1.9 will be "ready for production" when it's
called 2.0 instead.

Did anyone say which Christmas?

I imagine it won't be, at least, not when it's still called 1.9 -- isn't
the "production" release going to be 2.0?

For what it's worth, it seems reasonably stable to me. Most of the problems
I've had with it have been some library which was broken by
backwards-incompatible changes -- not an actual 1.9 bug.

(At least, not an implementation bug. There's still a fairly serious design
bug in the form of autoload.)



(Apologies if this is a duplicate message. My mailer decided to implode just
as it was sending.)

No, Matz announced about a year ago that instead of even minor version
numbers indicating production vs. experimental/development, a teeny version
number > 0 would be the new indication, So 1.9.1 will be production.

Seems he is afraid of running out of digits.

Mostly unrelated, but it actually may be so. Matz hates the idea of
something like 1.8.10, though I don't exactly remember the story about
it. I think it has to do with comparison of version numbers as
strings, or something else. Maybe someone here knows the back story.

Yes. Matz. At the Lone Star Rubyconf.

This Christmas.

That's right:

>> "1.8.9" < "1.8.10"
=> false
