Hi,

first of all: thank you for the new versions.

You forget to mention one major incompatibilities:

[ skade HIPE-Machine ~/Downloads/ruby-1.9.2-preview1 ] ./ruby --version
ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-18 trunk 24186) [i386-darwin9.7.0]
[ skade HIPE-Machine ~/Downloads/ruby-1.9.2-preview1 ] ./ruby -e "require 'test'"
-e:1:in `require': no such file to load -- test (LoadError)
from -e:1:in `<main>'

vs:

[ skade HIPE-Machine ~/Downloads/ruby-1.9.1-p243 ] ./ruby --version
ruby 1.9.1p243 (2009-07-16 revision 24175) [i386-darwin9.7.0]
[ skade HIPE-Machine ~/Downloads/ruby-1.9.1-p243 ] ./ruby -e "require 'test'"
test

Regards,
Florian Gilcher

When and where will Windows binaries be available? On the official site
there is only 1.9.1p0 available at the time.

== Ruby 1.9.2-preview1
see the NEWS and the ChangeLog for more detail.
* http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/NEWS
* http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/ChangeLog

Also not mentioned in the NEWS is that floats are a little more whiney
now:

d:\dev>pik run "ruby -e 'puts 1.1-0.9'"

== Running with 186: ruby 1.8.6 (2009-03-31 patchlevel 368)
[i386-mingw32] ==
0.2

== Running with 192: ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-05-25 trunk 23567)
[i386-mingw32] ==
0.20000000000000007

i.e. they now show their inaccuracy more [it was always there, it just
didn't show before].

Thanks.

All Windows binaries are contributed, no official ones (as clearly
stated by Ruby-core, Windows supported as best can be done, not 100%
supported).

Highly likely these binaries for "mswin32" platform will appear here:

http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/

While I plan on announce "mingw32" binaries and preview installers
soon.

Cheers,
