[ANN] RubyInstaller 2.4.1-1

[Lars Kanis]

RubyInstaller 2.4 for Windows has been finally released!

It is based on the MSYS2 toolchain now, and the build scripts are rewritten from the scratch.
Therefore the github repository has changed - it is now RubyInstaller2.

RubyInstaller2 brings some significant changes in addition to the newer Ruby version.
The most important change is that the DevKit is no longer provided.
Instead RubyInstaller makes use of the MSYS2 environment for compilation of C-based gems.
This and more changes are documented in the CHANGELOG.

RubyInstaller2 will be the base for Ruby versions 2.4.x and up. Ruby versions before 2.4 are based on RubyInstaller1 which is still looking for a maintainer.

Please note, that many fat binary gems are not yet prepared for RubyInstaller-2.4. Try to use

 gem install --platform ruby <gemname>

to force installation of the source gem, for the time being.
This requires MSYS2 and MINGW tools to be installed, for example per ridk install .
Also see the FAQ for further recommendations regarding rails and popular gems.

Gem authors, who want to support RubyInstaller2, please refer to the Tips for gem developers.

Installers and 7z binary packages are available from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads

Thanks to all the contributors how gave feedback to the pre-releases!

huh,

i would buy the domain name rubyinstaller2.org 3...4.. etc hopefully it is yours if not try 3 4 .. well i wanted to signup here to say that i own a company and made damn lot websites, without marketing  buy by design not by the rules of the capitalism ... well

IN CASE the 

domain is not a idea since it costs money, well... i pay that as donation im pretty sure  here are webhosting owners who can sign domains up for free. 

I was talking about the version 2 because i didnt read about that.. just here.. i installed the old version iam going to deinstall it theres no upgrader right?
