Will 1.8.2 release get recent changes?

[H. Simpson]

Hi,

I'm a bit confused about the Ruby versioning process because the stable
snapshot was at version 1.8.2 long before Ruby 1.8.2-preview1 was announced.

Will Ruby 1.8.2 release contain changes to the stable snapshots that
occur after Ruby 1.8.2-preview1?

The version number of snapshot goes up when I decide to release a new
version. Previews are release candidates which still might have bugs,
because quite a few people try snapshots.

Yes.
