Native Threads.

Guess someone from "core" will need to properly answer this, but
switching from green to native threads is a huge redesign this will
require better and careful coding of C extensions :-)

Guess no one, beside eigenclass took the task of parsing the whole
changelog to summarize up-to-date the changes in the upcoming ruby,
even that we are so close to feature-freeze :-O

I suggest you take a look at ChangeLog file:
http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/ChangeLog

And try to understand the new changes ;-)

I have a Ruby SVN changeset feed using subtlety feed interface:
