[ruby-talk:03672] Re: Ruby 1.4.5 repacked

There is even newer version of Ruby 1.4.5:

	date 	06.26,
	filesize  770529
	md5	0322a805a8fb7bef23127ad29fa1d537

Matej

BTW I wonder, why all have identical version 1.4.5 (already three different
"builds"),
why the are not numbered 1.4.5, 1.4.5.1 and 1.4.5.2  in order to be able to
distinguish
them from each other easily ?
