Hello,

Since Ruby 1.9.3-0429 and 2.0.0-p195 got released 2 days ago I received several emails, bug reports and twitter mentions asking for a new release.

The same day Ruby got released, binaries where uploaded to both RubyForge and our CDN, as you can see on the release timestamps at RubyForge:


However, daily work took over my available time and wasn't until tonight I was able of update the website and prepare the release notes.

As I mentioned a few times before, preparing for each release takes time and work (the one that pays the bills) takes priority over volunteer-based contributions.

If the urge of update is itching, you can always build your own using the build recipes:


If you're feeling lazy, you can download one of the binaries from our CI environment:

1.9.3:


2.0.0:

http://ci.rubyinstaller.org/job/rubyinstaller-2_0_0-x64-package/

And use mingw-w64 4.7.2 DevKit for x86 or x64 respectively.

Last but no least, if you want to contribute to improve this, please, let us know.

Thank you for understanding,
