[ANN] Ruby 1.9.2 is released

ruby-talk

Hi,

Ruby 1.9.2 has been released. This is the newest release of Ruby 1.9
series.

== About Ruby 1.9.2
Ruby 1.9.2 is mostly compatible with 1.9.1, except the
following changes:
* Many new methods
* New socket API (IPv6 support)
* New encodings
* Random class that supports various random number generators
* Time is reimplemented. There is no longer the year 2038 problem.
* some regexp enhancements
* $: no longer includes the current directory.
* dl is reimplemented on top of libffi.
* new psych library that wraps libyaml. You can use the library instead
of syck.

See [*1][*2] for more detail.
*1: http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/tags/v1_9_2_0/NEWS
*2: http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/tags/v1_9_2_0/ChangeLog

Ruby 1.9.2 passes over 99% of RubySpec [*3].
*3: http://www.rubyspec.org

== Supported Platform
Ruby 1.9 has four support levels.

:Supported
  We verified that Ruby 1.9.2 works fine on it. And we can keep the
1.9.2 maintained on it.
  * Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 on IA32.

:Best Effort
  We verified that Ruby 1.9.2 works mostly fine on them. And I believe
we can keep the 1.9.2 maintained on it.
  * mswin32, x64-mswin64, mingw32
  * MacOS X 10.5 (Intel) and 10.6
  * FreeBSD 6 and later (amd64, IA32)
  * Solaris 10
  * Symbian OS

:Perhaps
  I think Ruby 1.9.2 works fine on them with small modification,
however, it is not verified. Patch is welcome.
  * Other Linux distributions
  * Other versions of MacOS X.
  * cygwin
  * AIX 5
  * Other POSIX-compatible systems
  * BeOS (Haiku)

:Not supported
  I do not think Ruby 1.9.2 works on them. Porting is welcome.
  * Any other systems

== FAQ
:The standard library is installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1
  This version number is "library compatibility version". Ruby 1.9.2 is
mostly compatible with the 1.9.2, so its library is installed in the
directory.

:It causes a LoadError
  $: no longer includes the current directory. So some scripts need
modification to work correctly. Anyway, your script should not depend on
the current directory as well as possible.

:Supported
   We verified that Ruby 1.9.2 works fine on it. And we can keep the
1.9.2 maintained on it.
   * Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 on IA32.

Supported also on x86_64-linux, right?

Or is that platform in the "Best Effort" category?

:Best Effort
   We verified that Ruby 1.9.2 works mostly fine on them. And I believe
we can keep the 1.9.2 maintained on it.
   * mswin32, x64-mswin64, mingw32
   * MacOS X 10.5 (Intel) and 10.6
   * FreeBSD 6 and later (amd64, IA32)
   * Solaris 10
   * Symbian OS

Thanks to all the 1.9 developers for getting to this point.

Coincidentally, last night I finished 1.9 compatibility adaptations for
a C/ruby simulation engine that depended in ugly ways on 1.8 internal
details. I was pleased to see a 30-40% speedup using 1.9.2, even though
I thought most of the bottleneck was in my C extension code.

Rather than just saying "your script should not depend on the current
directory as well as possible", the FAQ should have a pointer to
require_relative.

Sorry for continuous mail.

I forgot see the previous mail, and I think:

* try get tarball in yourself and build&install it (like --prefix=`pwd`/local)
* test gem command (local/bin/gem env)

Yes my bad sorry. Now I am trying to get my app working but seems like
that symlinking wasn't such a good idea after all (maybe).

why are you installing rubygems? 1.9.x ships with rubygems. 1.9.2-p0 ships with rubygems 1.3.7. I can appreciate your predicament, but I don't see why you're in it.

Compiling and installing Ruby went fine, but this is what I get when I try
to install rubygems:

Dear everyone having Gem.path issues:

I compile manually. Install to /usr/local. Pretty standard. I had 1.9.2
preview 3 installed.

I installed 1.9.2p0, got the Gem.path error.

Here's the simple solution that worked for me: nuke the gems, make
install again.

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/*ubygem*
cd your-ruby-src-path
sudo make install # assuming you have it compiled from before

Oh, that's interesting.

Turns out rubygems was trying to load from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems, but the newly installed
rubygems are in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems. So, that's probably
what was wrong. I guess you don't even need to `make install` again,
just nuke the unwanted gem installation in site_ruby.

Again, the paths:

* /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems # <== good
* /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems # <== bad

Fair warning: This may only apply to my system. Think twice before you
go `rm -rf`-happy on yours. :stuck_out_tongue:
