From: Juan Zanos Date: 2009-05-05T03:41:14+09:00 Subject: Re: Should I upgrade Ruby from 1.8.5 to 1.8.7? My guess would be that it's reasonably safe depending on what libraries you use. I think it would be safer if my wish were granted. Then library makers would have an easier time testing their stuff on various systems with various ruby versions.
