Is Ruby 1.8.2 going to be released on July 7? I heard a rumor that it might but would like to hear from others.
I was going to launch a mod_ruby site based on Ruby 1.8.1 around July 7 but would probably delay the launch so I can use 1.8.2. The improvements to OpenSSL in Ruby 1.8.2 are the primary reasons--another is to avoid upgrading Ruby after the site is launched.
Hello Randy,
This is the last email interaction between matz and Sean E. Russel on
the core ruby list with the Subject "Ruby 1.8.2 to be released"

I don't know, but I don't need you to delay 1.8.2. It probably won't take
more than a day or two to merge and test. I just want to know that you
won't release it any sooner than X. Would it be accurate to say that X =
July 7? That is two weeks from today, more or less.

The following was from matz today in comp.lang.ruby.core
------------
Subject: Contributors: ready for 1.8.2 preview1?
Or do you have anything left for preview1?
I'm going to release the first preview in a day or two, unless someone
stops me.

Read this conversanion carefully. It does not mean that Ruby 1.8.2
will be released on July 7th. It means that Ruby 1.8.2 will not be
released *before* July 7th. While Matz may indeed release 1.8.2 on
the 7th (tomorrow, as I write this), he's said nothing that guarantees
that the 7th is the release date.

Does anyone have any more info on this?
If its coming out "soon" then I wait before producing the next release
version of the Ruby Installer for Windows. But if it is not eminent, I will
proceed with the latest stable snapshot of 1.8.2.
Can anyone on this list provide me with some guidance?
Thank you,
Curt

I would personally wait; I know there are probably people waiting on
fixes for Windows, but if you release based on a stable snapshot and
the 1.8.2 preview/release comes even a week later, that means extra
work for you. I would rather have a version of the Windows installer
that I can be comfortable with for a few weeks (at least!) than have
to upgrade twice in short succession.

I have not seen any more comments about this on the Ruby Core Mailing
list, maybe you should post there or email directly to matz.

This morning I decided to do just this, but I'm having trouble subscribing
to the list (plus I'm still trying to restore my crashed machine, so I'm not
sure where the problem lies). Anyway, I am pursuing this path.
Thanks,
Curt
