Dear IronRuby community, We?re pleased to announce the release of IronRuby 1.1.2. The binaries and the installer are now available at CodePlex: http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases/view/55250. IronRuby 1.1.2 is a servicing release that keeps on improving compatibility with Ruby 1.9.2 and includes IronRuby integration to Visual Studio 2010. We decided to drop 1.8.6 compatibility mode in all post-1.0 releases. We recommend using IronRuby 1.0 if you need 1.8.6 compatibility. In this release we fixed several major issues: - problems that blocked Gem installation in certain cases - regex syntax: the parser was replaced with a new one that is much more compatible with Ruby 1.9.2 - crashes or incorrect behavior on Windows Phone 7 The following bugs were fixed: 5728 Unable to create Ruby on Rails project using Visual Studio 2010, error: can''t convert NilClass into String 5638 IronRuby 1.1.1 + VS2010 Tools Installer does not include Windows bins 5650 installing rspec gem fails 5645 Installing rake ri documentation fails 5326 installing rspec gem fails 5667 Iron Rack Fixes 5695 Visual Studio 2010 Iron Ruby 1.1.1 Gem Problem is NOT FIXED!!! 4132 CLR strings are not the same as IronRuby strings as far as a Hash is concerned 5572 Exception while compiling rbconfig 5441 Install to different location does not 5050 Implement String#encode (for JSON support) 4356 irw.exe 5144 Regex: Nested quantifier 4433 WP7 support 5117 Regexp not compat with MRI (failing REXML specs) Thanks to everyone who contributed in any form!
