The ruby home page has: The new stable version 1.6.1 is released (00/09/27) and there is nothing to say there has been an update since, but the bugs database refers (at least) to a fix (of dup) on 5-OCT-2000. Is there going to be a 1.6.1.x bugs-fix release, or is 1.6.2 coming "Real Soon Now" :-), or is it going to take a while before the next release of any sort? Just so we know -- I'm not trying to speed things up. Thank you, Hugh hgs / dmu.ac.uk
