For Ruby, no.  Tt has no specific indentations to follow (within reason) 
and the only things that have changed as far as I know (been a while 
since I read the release docs) 1.9.1 adds some new functionality to Ruby 
but doesn't change the syntax (like Python 2 - 3 did).
With my program I was working on, I was using 1.9.1 (on my old linux 
distro) and also running it on my Mac (1.8.7), so as far as the scope of 
my program was concerned, the versions were universally capable of 
running on either system with zero changes.

Hope this helps!
