Guilty of charge.

Basically the update boosted 1.8.6 to patchlevel 287, which included
all the "security patches" that make nervous everybody a few months
ago.

It also included updated version of RubyGems, but at that time was
1.2.0, after that 1.3.0 was released and was broken on Windows, which
I missed the release deadline and generated some issues for the few
users upgraded.

The last piece of the puzzle was Rake, which added some things that
broke most of the shell calls. I'm working with the Rake developers
and contributors to see these things and came up with something that
works for One-Click, Jruby and others.

No plans for 1.8.7, even with 1.8.6-p287 had weird results for things
like ParseTree, which is important for several projects that depend
on.

Plans for 1.9 are contemplated but not for the current One-Click
codebase. Bundling everything makes difficult differentiate ruby from
the packages that need to be tested for compatibility.

You can check here the list of packages included in RC1:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?group_id=3D167&release_id=3D26150

Not to mention the ones not updated :-D

Current One-Click is build based on binary releases available at
garbagecollect page:

http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/

There are no plans for 64bits for current installer, since it depends
on this VC6 builds.

The 64bits available builds are for 1.9, but those depends on VC8,
something we are trying to avoid and move to MinGW (GCC) to reduce the
discrepancies across platforms for the build process (not only of ruby
but extensions and other projects).

mingw-w64 will provide the building blocks, it can cross-compile from
32bits OS targeting 64bits

My installed OS base is 32bits XP, with only one x64 XP edition
available, and cannot book that resource for OpenSource projects at
this time.

To work on current installer, these docs are up to date. To work on
the new installer, the docs are in the readme document at github:

http://www.github.com/luislavena/rubyinstaller

Bootstrapping only requires Ruby+Rake :-)

With the new installer we found issues that make difficult build
different versions of the same package (on which Ruby depends like
readline, zlib, and others).

Work on this new building process has made some progress the past
days:

http://gist.github.com/19707

Some progress about One-Click Installer can be found in my blog:

http://blog.mmediasys.com/

Also the developer mailing list is a good resource:
