Ossum! I was just thinking about this and then you posted! I mean, We
had 1.8.1 two years ago and 1.8.2 last year. Since 1.8.3 was already
released, I was thinking we weren't going to get a Christmas present
this year. I haven't been paying attention to the realease candidates,
I guess. What a nice surprise!

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you to!

This is great, matz. Thank you so much for this Xmas present.

Quoting from my blog: "At this point, matz can be considered a sort of
Japanese Santa Claus for all us grown-up geek children ;-)"

Thansk, Matz!

To those people who are wondering when the One-Click Ruby Installer
for Windows for 1.8.4 will be released, it will be as soon as possibe,
but it will probably be at least a few weeks. It is my top priority
task, but I want to make sure that most of the issues with the current
release are fixed.

Thanks for you patience.

Curt

I am currently going through the process of trying to compile Ruby
1.8.4 with VS2005 C++ Express with the Windows 2003 SP1 Platform SDK.

Is their any advantage to using VS2005 C++?

At least in theory, yes. More importantly: 1) it is now the supported
version of the compiler; 2) the PSDK includes the support necessary to
support Win32 and Win64 (both x86-64 and IA64). Both Microsoft and
Apple have placed big bets on x86-64, so compiling with the proper
compiler will at least make it that much easier to work with when we
start compiling for Win64.

..on the other hand, it will face the same difficulty that is still
currently faced from time to time with respect to VC6 extensions
working with VC7 and VC7.1 extensions. I am looking at recompiling
everything that the winstaller uses with VC8 (which is, in fact
version 14 of the compiler). You'll see that there are a few
incompatibilities with the Ruby build process if you look on
ruby-core.

I think I'm going to stick with VC++ 7.1 for this round. I have a
limited amount of time, and I know people are anxious to get their
hands on a 1.8.4 version of the one-click installer.

I rather recommend VC6 or gcc -mnocygwin.

I haven't been around for a while so sorry to dive in all of a sudden again
(sadly very little opportunity to use Ruby these days and worse, my beloved
Ruby manuals were burnt to a cinder when our building came-a-cropper from
the Hemel Buncefield Oil-Depot "disaster").

Anyway, the Windows installer for Ruby is still 1.8.2-15 - is this still the
one most people use, or is there a "better way" to get and use Ruby now on a
Windows platform?

Merry Christmas/HNY all!

Patience.

1.8.2-15 is the current version.

But grep the recent archives for questions on the 1.8.4 version.
