In combination with the rest of the RubyInstaller team, I'm very
pleased to announce the release of RubyInstaller packages for Ruby
1.8.7-p357

This is a security release, so upgrade is highly recommended.

As usual, installer and 7z packages are available at RubyInstaller
website and RubyForge for download:

http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167

For verification, MD5 signatures of each file released are provided:

18746cd05f84bc413af06f54a3e6d313 *ruby-1.8.7-p357-doc-chm.7z
8cb0d0cfef0405f936980014760ae3e6 *ruby-1.8.7-p357-i386-mingw32.7z

Installer is also digitally signed to avoid alterations and UAC warnings.
