Hi,

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.

== Supported Platform

We verified that Ruby 1.9.2 works fine on it. And we can keep the

1.9.2 maintained on it.

Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 on IA32.

:Best Effort

We verified that Ruby 1.9.2 works mostly fine on them. And I believe

we can keep the 1.9.2 maintained on it.

mswin32, x64-mswin64, mingw32

MacOS X 10.5 (Intel) and 10.6

FreeBSD 6 and later (amd64, IA32)

Solaris 10

Symbian OS

:Perhaps

I think Ruby 1.9.2 works fine on them with small modification,

however, it is not verified. Patch is welcome.

Other Linux distributions

Other versions of MacOS X.

cygwin

AIX 5

Other POSIX-compatible systems

BeOS (Haiku)

:Not supported

I do not think Ruby 1.9.2 works on them. Porting is welcome.

Any other systems

== FAQ

:The standard library is installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1

This version number is “library compatibility version”. Ruby 1.9.2 is

mostly compatible with the 1.9.2, so its library is installed in the

directory.

:It causes a LoadError

$: no longer includes the current directory. So some scripts need

modification to work correctly. Anyway, your script should not depend on

the current directory as well as possible.
