Hi,

Ruby 1.9.0-4 has just been released. This is a snapshot release.

The next release is 1.9.0-4. It will be released at 25 Sep. See
[ruby-core:17644] for more details.

== News
* transcode
Encoding::Converter: new class

* Universal newline
* open("path/to/file", "rt") converts LF, CR, CRLF to LF.
* open("path/to/file", "rb") does not.
* open("path/to/file", "r") is equivalent to "rt" or "rb".
It depend on the evironment.

* "wt" and "w" conert LF to LF or CRLF. The converted character
depends on the environment.
* "wb" does not convert.

== Maintainers are wanted
The following platforms was supported once by Ruby but now Ruby has no
active maintainer for them. Perhaps Ruby 1.9.0-4 does not work on them.
* BeOS
* WinCE
* OS/2
* bcc32
* Classic MacOS
* VMS
* djgpp
* human68k

I will remove platform-specific codes for WinCE, OS/2, bcc32, Classic
MacOS, VMS, djgpp, and human68k from Ruby, unless someone
become a maintainer for it by 25 Sep.

see [ruby-talk:311117] for more details.

Probably 1.9.0-5? Or you could just release this one again...

Thanks, though -- compiling now.

Ruby 1.9.0-4 instantly broke Hpricot. Reinstalling from the gem fixed it.

Now, this shouldn't happen, but I'm compiling the development version of Ruby
from source, so I should be expecting issues like this.

But for that particular problem, is there a way to automagically rebuild all
gems? Or at least those with native extensions -- I'd guess those would be
the first to break.

You would need to write a script that dumps a list of your gems with
native extensions (look for .so or .bundle files), upgrade ruby, then
run the script again to reinstall the native gems.

Hey, new ruby quiz!

In which case, probably easier to just reinstall all of them.
