I am proud to announce the release of Ruby 1.9.1. This is the first stable release of Ruby 1.9 series.
Ruby 1.9 is a new series of Ruby. It is modern, faster, with clearer syntax, multilingualized and much improved version of Ruby. Ruby 1.8 series has been used since 2003 and many great products were born on it. Today Ruby 1.9 series starts its history as 1.8 series did.
Notice that Ruby 1.8 still remains. 1.8.8 will be released this year.

A huge thanks to all of ruby-core for this, and for your hard work on release management, Yugui.

Now that Ruby 1.9 is released, it seems there is no need for 1.8.7.
Is there a possibility that Ruby 1.8.8 will go back to being similar to 1.8.6 and remove the 1.9 compatibility shims? This would make maintaining old 1.8 code much easier.

Capital job, all of you. Nobu, Tanaka Akira, usa, yugui. And especially koichi and matz. A big day for both of you. The new VM is a lot of fun and you've worked so hard.
Also, many thanks to this list. I've often encountered Ruby 1.9 "bugs" and confusions, but it was all easily dismissed by finding discussions about the internals which had already transpired here.
Yeah, so hearty backslaps and many rigorous unending handshakes all around, this is great.

Congratulations! Now that the stable release is out, we will pull 1.9.1 stdlib into JRuby. We'll ship our 1.9.1-compatible (mostly? hopefully?) release of JRuby 1.2 in late February.
> Notice that Ruby 1.8 still remains. 1.8.8 will be released this year.
Is 1.8.8 going to be based on 1.8.6 or 1.8.7? And is it planned to change as many features as 1.8.7 did?
JRuby will remain at 1.8.6 compatibility (in 1.8 mode) until such time that users let us know that they want support for 1.8.7+ features.
Congradulations guys!! I am a noob so this might be a silly question to the majority, but can someone give me the steps to install 1.9 in my vista environment? Need some help. I already saved the zip folder. Should I be looking for an executable, becauseI cannot find it
Thanks

Wait 1 minute, I thought this *was* Perl 6, do not tell me I am in the wrong community!!!! R.

Awesome all the way!
PS: whats the status of RubySpec project w.r.t Ruby 1.9.1 ? Are specs that fail are being corrected and stuff?

I suggest you wait for the Windows One Click installer for 1.9/2.0.
Unless something has changed the Windows builds you can download at garbagecollect are somewhat not completely finished. They are missing parts, and not even documenting which ones. You could write a "hello world" program using the build and perhaps explore some of the features fof the new interpreter but you cannot even install gems.
I am not completely sure if anybody uses that stuff and what do they use it for. It just shows Ruby *can* be built for WIndwows I guess.

The problem is not with Ruby itself but with the libraries it uses (zlib for gems, readline for irb, openssl for encryption and https networking, sqlite, ...)
Most of these use unique build systems and have binaries built for windows with different compilers.
To link this all together with Ruby is a recipe for disaster.
For that reason Luis is working on a new One Click installer which builds all the libraries and ruby from source using the MinGW compiler.
Unfortunately not all of the libraries build well in the MinGW environment out of the box (or on Windows at all) so the project requires lots of tedious work. There are only development and testing releases of this installer. As far as I know no final release that includes at least all the basic parts is available.
