Issue #1311 has been updated by Dave B. File syck_scan_scalar.patch added File test_yaml.patch added Good reports, thanks. I've found a workaround but I'm not sure enough about the YAML spec to guarantee that it's the correct fix. The patch is mild - it just forces one style over another in the same way as the existing code and allows the new tests to pass along with the rest. Two patches to 1.9.2dev - these files don't change often ;) ?CHANGELOG: Wed Mar 25 20:06:10 2009 Dave B <daz / d10.karoo.co.uk> * ext/syck/emitter.c: Set SCAN_WHITEEDGE flag when scalar begins with newline [ruby-core:23006][Bug #1311] * test/yaml/test_yaml.rb: add new tests and comment old Test::Unit::TestSuite code to enable them to run as $0 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1311 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
