Ok, as far as I can tell I got a Ruby-1.8.6-Oniguruma Windows Installer up and ready! ;) Thanks to the outstanding help of Luis Lavena Sensei and Jon over from Ruby-Installer for Windows. I will double check my results asap. So if you need Ruby-1.8.6 for Windows with the Oniguruma-Patch applied please get in touch. I also recommend that the Oniguruma-Patch should officially be applied for Ruby 1.8.8 to smoothen the road for all the developers that use the very stable Version of 1.8.6 (to stable, how can it be to stable http://url.ba/lxah ;) - but at sometime need to move on to Ruby 1.9.2. This road has to be smooth. If it is not smooth then the popularity of Ruby will suffer and nobody wants that. Version 2.0 of Ruby should be the new new thing(TM). So I am asking Yui Naruse http://url.ba/g8qu as the Ruby-Core people said they are open for questions. Best Zeno -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
