Ruby 1.8.3 Preview Two #

by why in inspect

Matz is plowing toward the 1.8.3 release. He’s quietly released a preview on the Basecamp site, which I’d like to pass on here. Help us beat this up. Scare out the bugs in the new YAML. SOAP4R updates, particularly in regard to ASP.NET compatibility. WEBrick updates in its CGI module.

 ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.3-preview2.tar.gz
 md5sum is 536b18046c1d51731953fd32de3df26e

Bugs can go to the Rubyforge tracker or the Ruby-Core list. We’re scavenging both.

Another preview is out:

Should I mention the -Wall warnings coming from Syck again?

Lots of unused variable warnings, plus a couple new ones.

OT, but your RSS feed has been acting very oddly for Safari RSS ever since you started on this tirade of flagrant hoodwinkery.

only syck? even the core ruby files compile with quite a bit of warnings (with gcc’s -Wall), and IIRC win32.c has a lot of unused staff

Made, tested, installed on Mac OS.

Hey, berger, I’m working on the -Wall stuff right now. I also just knocked out some of the tabs wierdness.

riffraff, yes, I know. I’ve complained about it before, to no avail. I figure I can pick on the stdlib authors at least. ;)

...but coughs on rubygems: 

hook /Users/robert/Desktop/rubygems-0.8.11/./post-install.rb failed:
uninitialized constant Gem::Builder::Package

Hate to violate DRY , but:

Can’t scare out the bugs if we don’t know what’s new.

ChangeLog is wayyy too verbose and detailed for folks NOT on the core list to understand the implications of each item. Something like NEWS would be really handy.

Yeah! NEWS !

Matz has this on the list, Jay. I guess that doesn’t mean anything yet. On the bright side, his list is less than ten items long.

Robert: Are you implying that RubyGems is included in 1.8.3? That would be great!

Rubygems included? Er, not as far as I can see. That’s my own personal error when I try to install rubygems 0.8.11. I’m not hardcore enough for this!

robert

Well, that was interesting. I re-built and re-installed ruby, then re-built and re-installed rubygems 0.8.11. Success!

robert

said on 17 Sep 2005 at 03:21

Well, almost.

why, there’s a lot of ugly warnings in YAML now:

ruby -w -ryaml -e”puts ‘warnings suck’”

Robert, what is the problem you’re seeing? I installed RubyGems 0.8.11 fine on Linux with Ruby 1.8.3. Feel free to email me if you need help (first name @ chadfowler.com).

Hm, odd, my FTP sessions keep locking up after a hundred KB or so when I try to get preview3…
