[ANN] RubyGems 0.8.8 (please upgrade from 0.8.7)

[Jim Weirich]

Ruby Gems 0.8.8 is now available. It fixes a bug in 0.8.7 where gem files
were created that could not be loaded by older versions of RubyGems. Version
0.8.8 correctly creates backwards compatible gem files.

We recommend that anyone who installed version 0.8.7 upgrade to 0.8.8.

Sorry for the confusion.

I had a
"lib/rubygems/deployment.rb:3:16: Couldn't find File. Assuming it's a module"
message.

Is it normal?

it seem a normal warning from rdoc, so nothing to be worried. But IIRC
this kind of warning were silenced in a previous release exactly for
this reason, they make people nervous

Took me a while (~1 minute) to find this, so I thought I'd share:

sudo gem update --system

Normal: yes
Desirable: no
Problem: no

It is RDoc complaining as it is running its fingers through the code.
