Subject: [ruby-talk:00140] ruby 1.3 released

Hi, all.

I have released experimental version 1.3, which comes next to
unannounced version 1.1d1

        ftp://ftp.netlab.co.jp/pub/lang/ruby/ruby-1.3.tar.gz

I changed versioning scheme.

  1.2 = stable version (will be released tommorrow)
  1.3 = experimental version

I fixed severabl bugs in 1.3 from 1.1d0.  
Enjoy! well, at you own risk. ;-)

Merry Christmas,
                                                matz.
p.s.
To Clemens.
Finally we can invoke method thru `foo::bar' even without argument.
Thank you for inspiring me.
