Description M. Edward Borasky 2007-02-17 18:13:16 UTC
I'm testing it on x86 from upstream. I'm mostly testing it with non-mainstream things -- I don't do Rails, for example -- but I will be testing it with the bleeding edge RSpec (0.8.0 RC1) and core Rubyisms like Rake and rubygems. And I'll be benchmarking it against the current Ruby. Here's the official announcement:

Hi,

I am pleased to announce that the first preview of Ruby 1.8.6 has been
released.  The new version of Ruby includes many bug fixes, feature
enhancements and some performance improvements since 1.8.5 while
maintaining stability and backward compatibility with the previous
release to a high degree.

I'm on it.
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-17 19:17:27 UTC
Committed, but it's without CJK support for now, as onigurama hasn't been updated :/
