Subject: [ANN] Ruby Installer for Windows 1.8.1-12

The Ruby Installer 1.8.1-12 for Windows has been released and is now
available for download from:

  http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/

The previous release (1.8.1-11) had some anomalous behavior as part of the
build was inadvertently done with cygwin. This release is a 100% native
Windows build, done entirely without cygwin.

Starting with this release, we have officially moved the Ruby Installer
project from SourceForge to RubyForge. Please report bugs (or request
features) at:

  http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=167


What is the Ruby Installer for Windows?
---------------------------------------

The Ruby Installer for Windows is a "one-click", self-contained Windows
installer that contains the Ruby language itself, dozens of popular
extensions and packages, a syntax-highlighting editor and execution
environment, and a Windows help file that contains the full text of the
book, "Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide".


Change Log for 1.8.1-12
-----------------------

- Eradicated all uses of cygwin
- Now using the version of REXML that is distributed
  with Ruby.
- Upgraded SciTE to version 1.59, which includes support
  for YAML highlighting and Tools menu commands for Ruby
  syntax checking, code profiling, and irb.

Enjoy!
