Subject: Re: Is there any description of main changes in 1.8 over 1.6.x /   1.7.x ?

Hmmm, that's definitely not the first time that this question was asked
in this newsgroup and I think it's about time, that someone who really
knows the details creates such a list. In my opinion it would be an
important part of the documentation of Ruby 1.8. Especially all the
things that will break existing code.

I would do it myself (easy to say, huh?), but I am certainly not
qualified. Reading the CVS logs didn't enlighten me ...

"Ruby in a nutshell" contains a complete chapter with new features in
Ruby 1.8. Wouldn't this be a good starting point?

Cheers,
