Originally, this was planned to be the final 1.8.4 release of the One-Click Ruby Installer for Windows. However, there were enough package upgrades in this release to warrant one more release candidate to make sure there aren't any show stoppers. If none are found, then you can expect the final release this coming weekend.

The two biggest changes in this release are:

1) The core Ruby interpreter was built from the source of
CVS HEAD as of 2006-04-14. This contains many bug fixes
since 1.8.4's original release on 2005-12-25. In
particular, many of the YAML bugs were fixed.

2) RubyGems has been updated to the recently released
0.9.0.

Other changes in this release include:

* Included all Win32-Util packages that are available
as RubyGems.
* All sample programs now reside under the "samples"
directory.
* Updated FreeRIDE to 0.9.6
* Upgrade FXRuby to 1.6.0
* Added option for European keyboard to properly map
certain input characters in IRB.
* Uninstaller now informs you that the entire
installation dir will be deleted and gives
you the option to abort.
* Log4r is now installed via RubyGems
