Ruby 1.8.5 Released

By Peter Cooper

It's not mentioned on the official Ruby homepage yet, but Matz has just announced the release of Ruby 1.8.5 on the Ruby mailing list. He claims there are no big changes from 1.8.4 and cites stability as the main benefit of upgrading. Unless you're having problems with 1.8.4, however, I'd wait a few weeks to see how it pans out, but if you're itching to try it out get it from http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.5.tar.gz
