Subject: Re: [ANN] Ruby Installer for Windows 1.8.1-13 final


Three things don't seem right...

1. The doc/dl/dl.txt is missing. It was in an earlier 1.8.1 installer.

2. The Yaml lib seems to be out of date, compared with recent 1.8.1 
tarballs. In the latter, symbols are serialized in the new way:

$ ruby-1.8.1 -v -r yaml -e 'y :foo'
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i686-linux]
--- :foo

But with 1.8.1-13, they still get dumped as:

D:\>ruby -r yaml -e 'y(:foo)'
--- !ruby/sym foo

3. Yaml crashes with this hash:

D:\>ruby -v -r yaml -e 'y({:foo=>:bar})'
File creation error

Or did I do something wrong?
