Subject: Re: Bullet points on Ruby 1.8 vs. 1.9 language??

Inspired by this query, I've written up a bulleted list of the important 
changes, as I understand them.  You'll find my list here:

http://www.davidflanagan.com/blog/2007_08.html#000131

This is a little more succinct than the list at eigenclass.org.

Clarifications, corrections, and additions to my list are welcome!
