I'm sorry we have not yet written a errata document for 1.8.6 release.
Please refer following document to see the list of issues fixed.

Enjoy!

Is it intentional that this is not mentioned on the ruby-lang.org
website (not even the Japanese version afaict)?

Thanks

Michal

I tried to build it, and I get this:

hramrach@hp-tc2110:11(0) 06121345 23]~ $ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07 patchlevel 36) [i686-linux]
hramrach@hp-tc2110:11(0) 06121345 24]~ $ ruby -w test.rb
ruby: no such file to load -- auto_gem (LoadError)

I did not apply any patches, just ./configure --prefix=$HOME/ruby ;
make ; make install

I had similar problem with a 1.6.8 snapshot, I had to put an empty
auto_gem.rb somewhere to make it work.

Thanks

Michal

Gentoo, I presume?

I put auto_gem into the RUBYLIB variable so as to try and automatically load
rubygems when the interpreter starts. If you're unemerged the stock ruby provided
by Gentoo, you'll need to get rid of this from your environment variables.

Note: that should be "if you've unmerged the stock 'rubygems'"

See the rubygems ebuild for more information.

I haven't unmerged them. However, the newly built ruby does not have
the gems, only the system one does.


Thanks

Hmm, then it should work. The easiest workaround is to just "unset RUBYOPT" from
the command line. I guess your installed "test" version of Ruby just doesn't know
where to find extra system ruby files.

Actually, it seems like it was mentioned:

http://www.ruby-lang.org/ja/news/200...6-p36-release/

I don't know what the deal is with the other language editions.

Also, are there plans to release mswin binaries? The mswin binaries
posted at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ are still for the March
2007 release (patch level 0).

I'm just not familiar with the Ruby release process.


Thanks,
