How to easily upgrade to new Ruby 1.9 patch level

[Alex DeCaria]

I currently have Ruby 1.9.1 p378 installed on Windows. If I want to
upgrade to p429, do I need to uninstall p378 first? Will I need to
reinstall all my gems, etc.?

I guess, in short, I'm asking what's the most pain-free way to do the
update?

Hello Alex,

Are you using RubyInstaller releases?

It is recommended remove the previous installed package, but none of
your gems or customizations will be removed.

At this time we haven't released the newer patchlevel for the
RubyInstaller, we are working right now on release 1.8.7 and 1.9.1

Hi Luis: I've been using the RubyInstaller releases. So, once the
RubyInstaller for p429 is released I can just do the 'uninstall Ruby
1.9' from my start menu (windows) and then run the installer for the new
1.9.1 p429 and alls my gems, etc. will be the same as before?
