We've got a redhat 5.3 64bit server under support. Out of curiosity, I posted a question to redhat as to why they support 1.8.5 and not 1.8.6. (It seems I was having trouble installing the mysql gem after I installed 1.8.6 from an unsupported repo). They came back with "what specific features are you looking for in 1.8.6 that aren't in 1.8.5." Fair enough. So can anyone give a quick rundown on what's in 8.6 as opposed to 8.5? New features, bug fixes, that kind of thing. Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
