Hi, does someone know when the 1.9.0 will be released?

Traditionally, these sorts of things are xmas presents.
Regards,
And this Christmas we will get not Ruby 2.0, but Ruby 1.9.1 which will
be the stable release of the 1.9 stream.
Hi --
I'm not sure how stable, though. Matz said at RubyConf that it would
come out at Christmas but probably not be as stable as he had hoped.
I think it will be feature-frozen, though, or nearly so.
How rough is it ?That's how I interpret stable.
The idea is that at Christmas the definition of 1.9 will be frozen,
and folks will be encouraged to start porting to it, no more moving
target.
Although stable it might not yet be considered production quality,
which will happen over time.

That's how I interpret stable.
It's good to know that 1.8.x is not being abandoned outright. I'd beHi --
My interpretation was with respect to the running of the thing itself
-- I think what you're calling not production-ready. Anyway, whatever
the terminology, the signal from Matz seemed to be that 1.9.1 was the
way of the future, but that its release should not be taken as a sign
to abandon 1.8, which he still considers the stable (or robust, or
production-ready) version. But we'll see -- there's still more than
three weeks before Christmas

John said:Any word on the unicode support in 1.9? Or is that still scheduled as a
2.x feature?
Excellent news!It's in, and changes many methods of String in breaking ways since
they work with characters instead of bytes now. That will probably
be the largest change any library or app needs to make to upgrade.

Unicode support is pretty convenient and useful working with OS X,
since Cocoa's NSString class is natively Unicode.
True.Where is Unicode not convenient really? Seriously, it was conceived
in '91
or so to fill a genuine need, it is about time.
I know it is not perfect (I have understood there are at least some
issues
with supporting the asian character sets well) but it is a definite
step
forwards.

Patrick said:How about Ruby 2.0 release? I thought 1.9 was suppose to be an
experimental branch and that 2.0 would be the true next stable
release. Is 2.0 planed for next year or is it planned for (much)
later?
Wolfgang said:I understood the comments given by Matz, that the development of 2.0
didn't start yet. The official release software "Ruby 1.9.n" (n>=1) will
contain features, that go into the direction of "Ruby 2".
Ruby 1.9, and I did some planned tests, because I'm really waiting for
the m17n features, that will be in the kernel of Ruby 1.9. I think it is
a good idea to have a stable Ruby 1.9 for a while, because the
discussions about future enhancements in respect to Ruby 2 will have a
practical background when Ruby 1.9 is in use for a while.
