Subject: Re: ODBC app in Ruby - I don't believe it.

The history.txt file for the mysql gem says
"Binary version built against MySQL 5.0.83"
Also it shows a release date of 2009/08/21.

Is there nothing newer than this? An extension over a year old for a 
bleeding-edge technology like Ruby seems a little embarrassing to me. I 
looked around, I can't even find the MySQL Connector/C v5.0.83 to try 
and solve the problem.

What am I missing here? This goes back to my original question. Where is 
all the hype coming from? I was writing CGI apps for Windows using VB6 
over 15 years ago and even back then it was a lot easier than this. I'm 
willing to get on board but how much non-billable time does a person 
have to spend on this stuff?
