Subject: Ruby 1.9.0-4 is released

Hi,

Ruby 1.9.0-4 has just been released. This is a snapshot release.

The next release is 1.9.0-4. It will be released at 25 Sep. See
[ruby-core:17644] for more details.

== News
* transcode
  Encoding::Converter: new class

* Universal newline
  * open("path/to/file", "rt") converts LF, CR, CRLF to LF.
  * open("path/to/file", "rb") does not.
  * open("path/to/file", "r") is equivalent to "rt" or "rb".
    It depend on the evironment.

  * "wt" and "w" conert LF to LF or CRLF. The converted character
    depends on the environment.
  * "wb" does not convert.

== Maintainers are wanted
The following platforms was supported once by Ruby but now Ruby has no
active maintainer for them. Perhaps Ruby 1.9.0-4 does not work on them.
* BeOS
* WinCE
* OS/2
* bcc32
* Classic MacOS
* VMS
* djgpp
* human68k

I will remove platform-specific codes for WinCE, OS/2, bcc32, Classic
MacOS, VMS, djgpp, and human68k from Ruby, unless someone
become a maintainer for it by 25 Sep.

see [ruby-talk:311117] for more details.
