Hi,

I have just released Ruby 1.9.2-preview3. This is a preview release of

Ruby 1.9.2. Ruby 1.9.2 will be mostly compatible with 1.9.1, except the

following changes:

Many new methods

New socket API (IPv6 support)

New encodings

Random class that supports various random number generators

Time is reimplemented. There is no longer the year 2038 problem.

some regexp enhancements

$: no longer includes the current directory.

dl is reimplemented on top of libffi.

new psych library that wraps libyaml. You can use the library instead

of syck.

See [*1][*2] for more detail.

== Request for comments

There remain some bugs[*3], however, it works mostly fine and passes >=

99% of RubySpec. Please try it out with your ruby program.

This preview release is the last chance to oppose a compatibility issue.

If you have a serious compatibility problem with Ruby 1.9.2, let us know

before Ruby 1.9.2-rc1 will be released on 30, Jun.
