In combination with the rest of the RubyInstaller team, I'm very
pleased to announce the release of RubyInstaller packages for Ruby
2.0.0-p0

This new version of Ruby also brings new changes to RubyInstaller.

Starting with 2.0.0, the packages will be provided in two versions:
32bits (x86) and 64bits (x64).

This is possible thanks to newer compiler provided by mingw-w64 project.

Over the past months our Continous Integration worker has been compiling and
running tests against GCC 4.7.2, ensuring this version satisfy the compilation
requirements of Ruby.

This also means newer DevKit package is required to use with this version.

As usual, installer and 7z packages are available at RubyInstaller
website and RubyForge for download:

http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167&release_id=47158

For verification, MD5 signatures of each file released are provided:

db47fc5837be2623d5f37dc3ef32ce4f *ruby-2.0.0-p0-doc-chm.7z
cc3d1262c3e80ddb72942966a5119dc4 *ruby-2.0.0-p0-i386-mingw32.7z
fd54283746ba0161aa06af6c2c886abf *ruby-2.0.0-p0-x64-mingw32.7z
ccdf7de8b77c29aea4254c409a40fe98 *rubyinstaller-2.0.0-p0.exe
5a6a605d3e38e2cb572dd418152a2fed *rubyinstaller-2.0.0-p0-x64.exe

Installer is also digitally signed to avoid alterations and UAC warnings.

You can read Ruby's own announcement here:

= What's new in Ruby, for Windows users?

Ruby's announcement was generic in relation to all the new features added to
the language.

However, it missed enhancements specific to our platform of choice.

* Enhancements:
* Faster startup due improved Windows-specific API. [Bug #6836]
* Support ANSI-colors out of the box without the need of external tools
or gems. [Feature #6418]
* Fixes for native 64bits builds for Windows under MinGW

= What's new in RubyInstaller?

Beyond what is covered by Ruby itself, we have our own set of improvements:

* Enhancements:
* Upgraded Ruby 2.0.0 to patchlevel 0
* Upgraded OpenSSL to version 1.0.0k
* Upgraded rb-readline to 0.5.0.pre.1 (compatible with Ruby 2.0)

* Bugfixes:
* Generate documentation for target version of Ruby

= Important Notes

* Ruby 2.0.0-p0 is brand new

While officially 2.0.0 is stable, that doesn't mean all the software will
magically work on it.

Use 2.0.0 for development and verify your application, scripts and tools works
properly before deciding to run this in your production environment.

* Existing pre-compiled gems are not Ruby 2.0 compatible

Ruby 2.0 introduces ABI breakage which means compiled C extensions with previous
1.9.3 will work with Ruby 2.0.

DO NOT install Ruby 2.0 on top of existing Ruby 1.9.3, or try to use compiled
extensions with it.

You will be required to force compilation of those gems:

gem install <name> --platform=ruby

This will require you have the extra dependencies required for that gem to
compile. Look at the gem documentation for the requirements.

* Do not use other DevKit version than the one recommended

This version of Ruby has been compiled and optimized for mingw-w64 GCC 4.7.2.

Use of older version of DevKit package to compile gems might result in
compilation issues during gem installation or simply segfaults.

Look for the DevKit installers identified with the name 'DevKit-mingw64-32' and
'DevKit-mingw64-64' for 32 and 64 bits respectively.

= Alternate download links

Sometimes RubyForge might have issues when trying to download the above files.

Please try adding "/noredirect" to the file download URLs so skip the entire
RubyForge's mirror functionality.

If that still doesn't work, try using RubyInstaller CDN directly by using
above filenames combined with the archive folder:

http://cdn.rubyinstaller.org/archives/2.0.0-p0/<filename.ext>

Same applies to DevKit URLs:

http://cdn.rubyinstaller.org/archives/devkits/<filename.ext>

Yes, that is a typo, but I think last sentence make it clear:

DO NOT install Ruby 2.0.0 on top of existing Ruby 1.9.3 or try to use
compiled extensions with it.

Just an FYI for anyone with issues with sqlite3, i installed it by extracting both the source and DLL/DEF (from the sqlite3 website) to C:\tmp and then i ran:

gem install sqlite3 -- --with-sqlite3-include=C:/tmp --with-sqlite3-lib=C:/tmp --platform=ruby

Thanks,

Rich

sqlite3 gem?

As indicated in the "Important Notes", existing pre-compiled gems will
not work with Ruby 2.0 as the gems do not contain pre-compiled
extension for it.

You need to force compilation, which requires you install development
headers and libraries that are dependencies of the gem/extension
you're trying to compile.

So: to compile sqlite3 for Ruby 2.0, you need:

* sqlite3 headers and libraries compiled and available
* force installation of sqlite3 to use "ruby" platform (as indicated
in the notes) and provide the directory where it will find sqlite3
headers and libraries.

For sqlite3 will be something like

gem install sqlite3 --platform=ruby --
--with-sqlite3-include=C:/path/to/sqlite3/include
--with-sqlite3-lib=C:/path/to/sqlite3/lib

See the documentation of each gem about that.

Really awesome works guys! I was just on the site today looking at all the things that are used to make the Ruby setup on Windows painless, especially the GCC compiler in the DevKit. I was pondering why the 3.x version was being used as opposed to the 4.x version, but to my surprise on the release of Ruby 2.0 the RubyInstaller was updated for that as well in, basically no time at all. I am reading the docs and paying attention to the things being improved on and those that are in the process, because I want to jump in and contribute to this as well.

Does anybody here have a problem running the 'bundle install' command for your Rails apps?

I am currently getting this error:

Unfortunately, a fatal error has occurred. Please see the Bundler troubleshooting documentation at http://bit.ly/bundler-issues. Thanks!

Please note that "bundle install" will attempt to install binary gems
that are not compatible with Ruby 2.0, see the "Important notes" on
the announcement.

An OpenSSL error might indicate issues connecting with RubyGems.

Can you confirm your Gemfile uses "https://rubygems.org" as source.

RubyGems bundled in RubyInstaller (2.0.0) already contains the
required certificates to successfully install gems.

I tested this before making the release.

Can you install any other gem manually?

gem install gem-exefy --source "https://rubygems.org" --debug -V

Let's see where the error is coming from.

Thank you.

Yes I'm able to install other gems manually.

Without more details on how your Gemfile looks like or more contextual
information on where it is failing during the installation, there
isn't much else I can do.

You copied just the error message and give us no context about it.

If you're kind enough to fill the gaps on the above points, perhaps we
could replicate the issue or determine where is the problem.

This is how my Gemfile looks:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.2.12'
gem 'pg'

# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.

group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 3.2.3'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.2.1'

gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3'
end

gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'paperclip'

group :development do
gem 'annotate', '2.5.0'
end

==========================================================

This is the full context of the error I get when I run the 'bundle install' command:

Unfortunately, a fatal error has occurred. Please see the Bundler

troubleshooting documentation at http://bit.ly/bundler-issues. Thanks!
