Hi,

I'm happy to announce that I released YARV: Yet Another RubyVM 0.1.1.

Nice work !
If someone on a gentoo system wants to give it a try, here are simple
ebuilds: http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e0060387/yarvebuild/


I still (as in the last version) get segmentation faults for
some scripts - is there some thing like an issue tracker ?

(*2) using -r (require) option with ite.rb

Very cool idea.
