Since 1.8.3 was already released, I was thinking we weren't going to get a Christmas present this year. I haven't been paying attention to the realease candidates, I guess. What a nice surprise! Thanks and Merry Christmas to you to! Tim ---

Thansk, Matz! To those people who are wondering when the One-Click Ruby Installer for Windows for 1.8.4 will be released, it will be as soon as possibe, but it will probably be at least a few weeks. It is my top priority task, but I want to make sure that most of the issues with the current release are fixed. Thanks for you patience.

I am currently going through the process of trying to compile Ruby 1.8.4 with VS2005 C++ Express with the Windows 2003 SP1 Platform SDK. -austin > **路路路** > > On 26/12/05, Eric Christensen \ wrote: > > > Curt Hibbs wrote: > > \> To those people who are wondering when the One-Click Ruby Installer > > \> for Windows for 1.8.4 will be released, it will be as soon as possibe, > > \> but it will probably be at least a few weeks.

Is their any advantage to using VS2005 C++?
