Ruby 1.9.0 Released
Dec 25th, 2007 by Robert Dempsey
Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto and the Ruby core team announced on the ruby-talk mailing list the release of Ruby 1.9. According to Cheah Chu Yeow, mongrel is almost fully 1.9 compatible as is Rails. Before enjoying the big speed boost and new features of 1.9, grab a copy and test it local. Enjoy!

UpdateMany others, including Dave Thomas, have reported that this is a development release, so definitely keep it local for now.

Actually what I meant was that mongrel is not quite Ruby 1.9 compatible yet – I believe there’s still a good amount of work to be done due to some tricky threading issues.
Thanks for the clarification Chu. Any good links to build instructions for Leopard? Readline is giving me trouble.
Hmm I don’t have Leopard (on Tiger), but have you got Readline installed? I don’t know where readline is installed in Leopard, but this should help as a last resort: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/136498
I do have readline installed via MacPorts and am reading that URL as well. Thanks for the help and the great postings on your blog.
