Rubyinstaller announce - Aug 2004 - One-Click Ruby Installer 1.8.2-14 RC8 for Windows

===== Original Text from RC7 Release ====
Ok, ok... I know I said no more releases until
1.8.2 final, but Matz just released 1.8.2
preview2 so I thought I would get an installer
out that includes this before I go on my vacation
tomorrow. There were no other changes since rc6 Enjoy!


===== Original Text from RC6 Release ====
This release candidate of the Ruby Installer for Windows
was built from the recently released Ruby 1.8.2 preview1.
Unless serious problems are reported, this will probably
be the last release candidate until matz releases 1.8.2
final.

There were four changes since RC5:
 - tab-completion in irb now works
   (thanks to _why for his help).
 - The OpenGL support that was
   inadvertently left out of RC5
   is back in.
 - Start menu shortcuts have been
   added to online documentation on
   ruby-doc.org.
 - The "reboot" dialog message at the
   end of the installation has been
   removed to enable unattended
   installations using the command
   line arguments:
      /S /D=<install dir>
