1.8.2 info

[Robert]

Is there a general what 1.8.2 will have (or not have)? This could be changes
since 1.8.1 or anything such information.

I think you'd want to take a look at the changelog in the cvs,
possibly via the web interface at
www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ruby

I don't think there are many huge changes, I only remember the adding
of RSS:arser and the renewal of the Ruby/Tk library.

The filesize difference between ruby-1.8.1.tar.gz and the latest stable
snapshot is quite substantial.

ruby-1.8.1.tar.gz 2610 KB 12/24/2003 12:00:00 AM
snapshot.tar.gz 3435 KB 7/9/2004 7:00:00 PM

I think a more user-friendly Changelog that summarizes the major changes
between version would be greatly appreciated by many folks.

For example, Perl has the following as its changelog:

http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.4/pod/perl584delta.pod

we're expecting for _why to write a page like the one he did for ruby
1.8.1

The big change is the adding of many tests and api documentation, I
think.
Anyway I missed one big import: we now have a new regexp engine,
oniguruma, wich I believe is larger (and surely more powerful) that
the previous one.
