Subject: Re: [ANN] RubyGems 0.8.1 (was [ANN] RubyGems 0.8.0)

It turns out that our release manager for 0.8.0 (me) made a mistake
and missed a couple of the 0.8.0 tagged files.  Not really sure how
that happened, but we have just released RubyGems 0.8.1.

This should fix the problems that Windows users have been seeing with 0.8.0.

You can either download it from 
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126

or do (assuming you have a working rubygems installation):

$ gem install rubygems-update
$ update_rubygems
 

Thanks for the help tracking this one down (plus the patches we've
already recieved for 0.8.0)!

Keep those gems coming.

Chad
