Subject: Re: List of 1.6 vs 1.8 somewhere?

I don't want to sound ungrateful... or rude... or whatnot, especially as 
Ruby is free.. but documentation seems to be a big problem* with ruby at 
the minute.

I have no idea what is changed in 1.8  I know it broke my app written in 
1.6.6, which is cool (i expect that and expect to have to rewrite when a 
new version comes out).. and the fact that there is no complete 
documentation for 1.8 (or even for 1.6) is cool.. but a change log or 
something would be helpful.  I can't take advantage of cool new features if 
(a) I don't know what they are and (b) I don't know what they even were in 
the last version...

What can we do, and how can I help...

Take Care,

Mark
