I'll be working the changelog and news files, but at the same time it's easy to miss stuff. So, I'm asking for help. I've created a set of pages starting at=20 http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?ProgrammingRubyTwo where we can start listing out the changes that need making.=20 Here's my cry for help. Could folks get in the habit of noting changes between Ruby 1.6.1 (on which the book is based) and Ruby 1.8 in these pages? I'm looking just for the factual stuff: methods, classes, modules that have been added or removed, syntax that's changed, all that kind of stuff. There's a separate page (ChangesToProgrammingRuby) where you can vent on the style, explanations, and other stuff. Does this mean there's a second edition coming? No - not necessarily. But before any decision gets made, we need to have a feel for how big the job is. Thanks in advance for your help Cheers Dave --=20 /"\ \ / X ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN - AGAINST HTML MAIL / \ --=.dg(x9p5f+MFFWc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+OvjxGtSnzbLPoycRAoM/AKC1aekxPY7lxREvqxJhI+399OdRaQCdHTDi mB85q8dT8TNUODIXJc/FGgM= =6MUw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.dg(x9p5f+MFFWc--
