From: why the lucky stiff Date: 2005-05-19T15:32:38+09:00 Subject: [ANN] Syck 0.55 -- Object loading, memory leaks Syck is, at present, the de facto YAML library for Ruby. YAML is a serialization language. Hopefully readable. Sensible to the parser in some eyeballs. Syck 0.55 patches some memory leaks and parse errors. Loading of objects is now much smoother. Support for using your own yaml_initialize or yaml_new methods. (See lib/yaml/rubytypes.rb for examples.) I'd say typing is done at this point. A bit more debugging and I will merge with Ruby CVS. _why
