== One-Click Ruby Installer 184-16 preview1 is available! ==
*NOTE* Please wait for the RubyForge mirrors to synchronize before trying to download.
*WARNING* This preview release for Windows is incomplete. Please read below to find out what is missing, and don't install this if that is not usable for you.
This is a preview release of the One-Click installer for Ruby version 1.8.4. It should be usable for most people, but it is missing a few things that will be fixed before the final release:
- DBI: (database interface library) is not included.
- XMLParser: This C-based XML parser (which is an interface to the Expat parser) is not included (REXML, the pure Ruby XML parser, *is* included).
- If you levave "Enable RubyGems" selected, the RUBYOPT environment variable is set to "rubygem" instead of having having "rubygems" added to the RUBYOPT value (similarly, uninstalling, deletes the RUBYOPT env. variable).
- Uninstalling does not remove the start menu items.
=================
Starting with this release, I have completely rewritten the build system for the One-Click Installer while I repeated the mantra: simplify, simplify, simplify... This should make it easier to release future versions of the One-Click installer more quickly. Of course, its possible that this could introduce new problems, so please report them here:
Of course, the big change for this release is that it uses Ruby 1.8.4. The One-Click installer is now uses ruby-mswin32 and adds additional extentions and applications. This means that all extension provided by ruby-mswin32 are in the One-Click Installer. You can read about ruby-mswin32 here:
* The SciTE code editor has been replaced by Notepad++. Both are based on the Scintilla code editor component, but Notepad++ is a little more full featured and supports editing multiple files in separate tabs.
* FreeRIDE (the Free Ruby IDE) has been updated to 0.9.5 and now features real project support.
* FXRuby has been upgraded to 1.4.3 (final release will include 1.4.4). This also, still includes FXRuby 1.2.6 for those programs that still require the older version. Both are included as preinstalled RubyGems.
Below are the release notes.
======================================
Ruby Installer for Windows Ruby Version 1.8.4 Installer Version 184-16 ------------------------------ RELEASE NOTES ------------------------------
1. You can install overtop of an existing installation that has the same Ruby major version number (e.g., 1.6). Installations up to and including 1.6.5-1 can only be uninstalled. All versions can co-exist peacefully (DLL's willing) in separate directories.
2. This version was compiled using Microsoft Visual C++, not Cygwin. As a result, some I/O functionality -- particularly those involving the Unix fork() system call and pipes -- will not work. The benefit of using MSVC is to have a more stable and reliable version of Ruby.
Reporting Bugs --------------
Bugs in Ruby itself should be e-mailed to ruby-b...@ruby-lang.org.

Possible problem with rdocs for the installer.
Windows XP Pro I did a full uninstall of the previous one click installer before installing the preview use ruby184-16p2.exe. After the install, ri, fxri, rdocs in freeride were not working correctly. Everything I could see was doubled, and most was giving messages about multiple matches. EG.
>ri String#upcase!
More than one method matched your request. You can refine your search by asking for information on one of:
String#upcase!, String#upcase!
I traced this to the docs being in both the site and system folders .. ruby\share\ri\1.8\site .. ruby\share\ri\1.8\system
I removed the contents of the site directory, and everything seems to be working again.

I know I'm not helping with this much larger One-Click Installer download. There are a couple causes. First, I started including the Ruby source code to make it easier for people to compile additional Ruby extensions if/when they so desire. And second, this release contains two versions of FXRuby, 1.4.4 (the latest release), and 1.2.6 (needed by fxri and FreeRIDE).

It's no problem! The One-Click Installer is the most popular download on RubyForge, and we would have had to set up this mirror thing at some point anyhow. All's well...

Are the mirrors sync'd yet? It keeps stalling at 14% download for me. I tried both IE and Firefox.

This is a question more about gems, I think. I noticed that, after installing the one-click, and doing a gem cleanup, 1.2.6 was deleted. I'm not on windows now, so I can't tell whether this breaks FreeRIDE, but it sounds like it would.
Is there some way to "lock" older gems that are needed by applications? Or would FreeRIDE have to be a gem itself and have an explicit dependency?

Yes, this would break both FreeRIDE and fxri.

I'm not a RubyGemes expert, perhaps one of the RubyGems developers is reading and can answer?

Seems to be working now. Probably a network issue on my end since no one else is screaming.
This version of ruby doesn't seem to work on Linux+Wine. The installer worked flawlessly. Trying to run anything ends up with:
% wine 'C:\ruby-1.8.4-one\bin\ruby' 'C:\ruby-1.8.4-one\bin\irb.bat' C:/ruby-1.8.4-one/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ubygems.rb:4: No space left on device - C:/ruby-1.8.4-one/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ubygems.rb (Errno::ENOSPC)
It fails on the command 'require "rubygems"'.
By contrast, ruby 1.8.2 One Click installer was working great.
Anything I can do to help ensure the upcoming 1.8.4 final release will work on Linux+Wine too (kind of important to me).

i used it a while back to decode some xls files this way - actually worked. i think i ended up using cross over office - nonetheless i ended up make win32 calls on my linux box and used the one click installer for ruby. pretty neat.

The One-Click installer is built on top of this. At least then we'd know if the problem lies in the base system, and in something that I added on. ruby-mswin32 does not include RubyGems, so you'll have to install that manually.

I assume you mean lock down so that the gem cleanup command won't remove particular versions.
There is no direct way to do this in RubyGems. However, you could create a gem of your own that installed no software but did depened on the versions of the software you needed. It is pretty trivial to create gems, so this is not hard. As long as your "lock down" gem is installed, the cleanup command won't remove the referenced gem versions. (caveat: technique untried, but can't think of a reason it wouldn't work).
It was just reported and verified that "fxri" is not working properly. Clicking on a class display its documentation (like it is supposed to), but clicking on a method does not display the documentation.
Also (this should have been in the release notes), previous versions of the One-Click Installer contained an (old) version of Tcl/Tk. Now this installer only contains the Ruby bindings to whatever version of Tcl/Tk you wish to install. ActiveTcl would be a good choice:

would it be reasonable to add a switch (I'm thinking of "gem lock foo-x.y.z") to gem to do this automagically? It could update a rubygems-locked gem each time "lock" is called, providing users a nice interface to a useful feature.

It looks like it's trying to write files in retrieving a gem, but failing with "No space left on device". Can you successfully write other files under Wine, say, using Notepad.exe?

I'm not an expert, so this might be a moot point, but having tk included with the ruby installer is one of the major reasons I code in ruby/tk vs one of the other toolkits. (maybe this should be my clue-in to start coding my guis in fox :)
at any rate I would like to see it left in if it's not eating up too much space, (coming from someone who has no idea of the technical difficulties involved with this request)
Thanks again for the great job on the one-click installer, Gary Watson

Thanks... this is a big help! I'll take a closer look ASAP.
