Hi,

first of all: thank you for the new versions.

You forget to mention one major incompatibilities:

[ skade HIPE-Machine ~/Downloads/ruby-1.9.2-preview1 ] ./ruby --version
ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-18 trunk 24186) [i386-darwin9.7.0]
[ skade HIPE-Machine ~/Downloads/ruby-1.9.2-preview1 ] ./ruby -e "require 'test'"
-e:1:in `require': no such file to load -- test (LoadError)
from -e:1:in `<main>'
vs:

[ skade HIPE-Machine ~/Downloads/ruby-1.9.1-p243 ] ./ruby --version
ruby 1.9.1p243 (2009-07-16 revision 24175) [i386-darwin9.7.0]
[ skade HIPE-Machine ~/Downloads/ruby-1.9.1-p243 ] ./ruby -e "require 'test'"
test

Regards,
Florian Gilcher

When and where will Windows binaries be available? On the official site
there is only 1.9.1p0 available at the time.

When and where will Windows binaries be available? On the official site
there is only 1.9.1p0 available at the time.

All Windows binaries are contributed, no official ones (as clearly
stated by Ruby-core, Windows supported as best can be done, not 100%
supported).

Highly likely these binaries for "mswin32" platform will appear here:

http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/

While I plan on announce "mingw32" binaries and preview installers
soon.

Cheers,

== Ruby 1.9.2-preview1

see the NEWS and the ChangeLog for more detail.
* http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/NEWS
* http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/ChangeLog

Also not mentioned in the NEWS is that floats are a little more whiney
now:

d:\dev>pik run "ruby -e 'puts 1.1-0.9'"

== Running with 186: ruby 1.8.6 (2009-03-31 patchlevel 368)
[i386-mingw32] ==
0.2

== Running with 192: ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-05-25 trunk 23567)
[i386-mingw32] ==
0.20000000000000007

i.e. they now show their inaccuracy more [it was always there, it just
didn't show before].
