[ANN] RubyInstaller 1.9.3-p194 released

From: Luis Lavena <luislavena@...>
Date: 2012-04-21 18:34:45 UTC
List: ruby-talk #394938
In combination with the rest of the RubyInstaller team, I'm very
pleased to announce the release of RubyInstaller packages for Ruby
1.9.3-p194

As usual, installer and 7z packages are available at RubyInstaller
website and RubyForge for download:

http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=3D167&release_id=3D46722

For verification, MD5 signatures of each file released are provided:

e4744e51004a6eb4504fdc848c01684b *ruby-1.9.3-p194-doc-chm.7z
d764217aa122f52e1ef27022df1ed7cf *ruby-1.9.3-p194-i386-mingw32.7z
8cc4872f8c7cd64d566c556d67dbb2d7 *rubyinstaller-1.9.3-p194.exe

Installer is also digitally signed to avoid alterations and UAC warnings.

You can read Ruby's own announcement here:

=3D What's new?

Beyond what is covered by Ruby itself, we have our own set of improvements:

* Enhancements:
  * Upgraded Ruby 1.9.3 to patchlevel 194
  * Upgraded RubyGems to 1.8.23 on all versions of Ruby
  * Increased file descriptors for 1.9.x to 32K. Closes #104
  * Upgraded OpenSSL to version 1.0.0h

=3D Q: Why this version uses more disk than previous ones?

A: In this release, debug symbols of msvcrt-ruby191.dll where included, whi=
ch
will help debugging (using GDB from DevKit) any possible issues while using
Ruby.

=3D Q: What means by "increased file descriptors", how that affects me?

A: By default Ruby 1.9 was limited to 64 sockets when using select() functi=
on.
select() is a mechanism to set and clear the state of sockets that are wait=
ing
for data. In other OS you have different 'pooling' mechanisms.

Most of the web servers that run on Ruby, specially the evented ones depend=
s
on select().

Without this change these frameworks/libraries wouldn't be able to use more
than 64 open sockets, which affects any of us attempting to use Ruby on Win=
dows
for more than testing things out.

Please note that this is a workaround to a bigger issue: select() and the
associated functions are not the recommended or optimally way to interact w=
ith
sockets on Windows.

If you encounter a problem running a pre-compiled evented library against t=
his
build, please ask the library author to recompile with -DFD_SETSIZE=3D32767=
.
