OK, I downloaded version 1.10 from CVS.
Where is my version better:
[ file size 22.7 k compared to 10.5 k ;) ]
* Code folding (class/module level, do - end, def - end , for[do] end .......)
        (Current CVS version: folds on { - } only)
* Recognizes HERE docs (highlights substitutions in HERE docs)
* Highlights method calls (with invocant)
* Highlights constants (e.g.: MY_CONSTANT)
* Highlights class/module names (e.g.: MyClass)
* Highlights global vars (e.g.: $var)
* Handles string spanning over multiple lines correct.
* CVS version stops string even on \" (same for %w{} %q{}....)
* Recognizes more operators (e.g.: +=, -= (and similar), ..., .., <=> etc.)
* Recognizes (more) number literals in more places
* Highlights Kernel methods (put, print, etc.)
* Recognizes __END__ line
* Recognizes class/instance var substitution (e.g.: "Name: #@name")
* Multiline regexes if lines end with "\"
and some other things
