icalendar devel - Sep 2007 - iCalendar 0.98 recurrence rules

Hi,

In one of my calendars I use a rule like

         event.recurrence_rules = []
         event.recurrence_rules <<
"FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=" +
(count+1).to_s if count > 0


This worked fine in 0.97, however in 0.98 the semicolon gets escaped,  
and thus iCal won''t parse it.  Is there another way I should create  
recurrence rules? I switched back to 0.97 for now.

TIA,

Pieter
