Let some Ruby enthusiasts do some incedible work for a while. ;-)

The new PickAxe is about Ruby 1.8 (with differences to 1.6 being 
marked). It deals with the standard library which has grown a lot since 
1.6. It contains a chapter about test/unit and some more stuff that 
hasn't been discussed in the 1st edition - stuff that didn't even exist 
at the time the 1st edition was first published.

It is... Well, it was until last friday (when I got my PickAxe-PDF). :-)

Happy rubying
