Hello, We have just released the latest stable version of Ruby. This is a bug fix release. There should be no big difference from 1.8.4. We hope 1.8.5 is more stable and reliable than its preceding versions. ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.5.tar.gz 3fbb02294a8ca33d4684055adba5ed6f Happy Hacking! matz.
