Release Name: 0.9.2
Notes:
The IronRuby team is pleased to announce version 0.9.2! As IronRuby approaches
1.0, these 0.9.x releases contain important bug fixes and enhancements that
IronRuby users request; this release fixes/closes 44 bugs. For more information
see the "Bugs fixed" section, and the CHANGELOG.
This release is the first to give IronRuby a MSI-based installer for Windows.
Try it out and let us know if it does not install on your system. While the
installer also contains Silverlight binaries, it's suggested to still use the
zip release for Silverlight, as there are some configuration issues with the
MSI.
As always, if you encounter any issues with IronRuby please report it here:
http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/Create.aspx.

(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1001)
3. The Ruby Console Throws an Exception on Every Command After a Blank Line is Passed First
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1649)

(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1681)
5. Issues with name mangling
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1677)
6. Net::HTTP.post_form doesn't work

Implements defined?(super) and fixes defined? applied on a method call to
respect visibility.
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1354)
9. Time.now throws an exception when the current culture is pl-PL, ru-RU, etc
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2030)
10. Indexing into Tye[] fails
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2686)
11. Can't convert System::Single to BigInteger
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2191)
12. Can't Assign to CLR fields with #send
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1651)
13. System::Char values are incorrectly converted when used in a method with a System::Single argument

(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2765)
15. Calling a method created on a Proc fails if passed a block
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=730)

(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2051)
17. Command line options -V not working (should be pulled out)
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=616)
18. -e doesn't allow begin blocks
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1558)
19. Kernel.System method doesn't capture stderr

24. Can't call a ref overload by picking the overload
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1849)
25. Binding object[] via :send is broken
if a CLR array is passed to params-array parameter it is not treated as a
single parameter. Instead the overload resolver “splats“ it by default
(implements C# semantics). This is not the right behavior for Ruby. I’ve added
ExpandParams virtual method that allows the language to specify for a given
MethodCandidate whether its params array/dictionary should always be expanded
and thus never use the incoming array as the params array.
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2421)
26. C# constructor with internal visibility inaccessible when using -X:PrivateBinding
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2243)
27. mspec :cli is failing. Require from command-line (ir.exe -r boo.rb) does not appear to be implemented
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2171)
28. tracking: StrongBox doesn't bind for ref/out params
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2462)
29. Strange behaviour with -r option in ir.exe
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1989)
30. First entry in array created from range does not seem to subtract correctly
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2146)
31. Incorrect error message for non-existant method
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2514)
32. Ruby console throws error for missing parens when MRI doesn't
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2654)
33. Wrong class name
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1878)
34. Interface with generic methods
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1357)
35. Error with cyrillyc text in Sharepoint
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1442)
36. Splatting COM out params
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2609)
37. Can't use do_sqlite3
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2037)
38. tracking: Shell stdlib
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1486)
39. Calls to ObservableCollection[String] are broken
Previously, generic type definitions were handled as super-classes for their
instantiations so that it is possible to add a Ruby method on a generic type
definition and call it from any instantiation. This approach breaks when
inheriting from a generic type – the inheritance hierarchy is incorrect.
It makes more sense to treat generic type definitions as modules – they can’t
be instantiated, don’t define any callable methods and we can mix them into
their instantiations instead of inheriting from them.
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2907)
40. tracking: RSS stdlib ($POSTMATCH not implemented)
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1483)
41. Ruby type builder emits incorrect metadata for types derived from Ruby built types
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2949)
42. some_method (1+2)+5 throws an exception (because of the space)
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2924)
43. assert_raise (from test::unit) fails if testing for CLR exception fails
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2182)
44. UTC and RACC Type Error
(http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2946)

(tomat) DLR:
Misc fixes to Hosting API:
- Implements BindInvokeMember on ScopeStorage.
- Makes ScriptScope constructor internal.
- ObjectOperations.GetMember<T> … performs language specific conversion to T, like ConvertTo<T> and GetVariable<T>
- All methods that take IAttributesCollection are obsolete.
- Try(Get/Set)Variable(Handle) on ScriptEngine are obsolete.
- ScriptRuntime.CreateScope should take IDynamicMetaObjectProvider

Comment:
(tomat) DLR:
The overload resolver should handle a candidate set with no callable method (e.g. have unbound generic parameter). Adds a BindingResult value that indicates such case.
Ruby, Python:
Disables VSHost process in CLR4 configurations to enable debugging in VS2010. VS2010 doesn’t handle multiple TargetFrameworkVersions per project correctly when launching VSHost process.
Ruby:
Simplifies ClsTypeEmitter and adds support for overriding default indexers.

Comment:
(jimmysch) Shri:
Merge branch 'master' of git://github.com/ironruby/ironruby
Fix to irtests.rb for changing Silverlight install folder (it has changed once again to 3.0.40818.0)
Ivan:
Fixes package task for ironruby
Fixes rake build for mono
Updated to 0.9.1 tag
Scripts to ensure compatibility with mono based distros
Jim:
tag string scanner spec added in legacy fixing
More cleanup of legacy tests.
Some specs have been moved to MSPEC, some have been deleted since they are
covering duplicate areas as MSPEC.
remove extraneous 1 file
This makes one large method creating a large hash, but it saves duplication
specs for properties and methods on structs and interfaces
fixes dev.ps1.
set-envvar is added which acts like cmd's set method. If you call it with no
arguments, then it lists the contents of the $env provider, if you call it with
an arg of x=foo, then it sets $env:x to foo.
Specs for nullable parameters and properties
Merge branch 'master' of git@github.com:ironruby/ironruby
includes a insert-path cmdlet so that we do not rely on files on my computer
Specs that regexp matching a multibyte string shouldn't throw an error.
Also adds general -K specs.
Jimmy:
Fix IronRuby tutorial scrolling bug, and clean up TryRuby tutorial a bit
Woops, forgot to actually disable the test in Silverlight
Get IronRuby tutorial tests running in Silverlight again, and only show the console when running tests.
IronRuby tutorial - allow "silverlight" method to be used in chapters as well.
Cleanup IronRuby tutorial scripts
Clean up Silverlight sample-scripts
Cleans up LoadRootVisual and LoadComponent
Remove files from Tutorial which should not be checked in
DLR.createSilverlightObject should use DLR.settings, so user-defined defaults are used for all controls.
Also various other commits from Jim and Jimmy that TFS wouldn't let me add

Installer for IronRuby. After running rake package, if you run build c:\ironruby from this directory, you will get a IronRuby.msi file in the current directory. The installer has optional installation of:
* Std Lib
* Samples
* Silverlight binaries
* Addition of installation directory to %PATH%
Enjoy

Ruby:
Bugs:
http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=1651: Can't Assign to CLR fields with #send
http://ironruby.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2189: System::Char values are incorrectly converted when used in a method with a System::Single argument
Also fixes overload resolution conversion preference in cases:
- Enum/Enum’s underlying int type -> prefer int unless the actual type exactly matches Enum
- System::String/ System::Char -> prefer String.
Removes a reference to a non-existent file from Ruby.Build.csproj.

Finishes implementation of IndexExpression.
Implements a workaround for http://vstfdevdiv:8080/WorkItemTracking/WorkItem.aspx?artifactMoniker=796414. Delegate.CreateDelegate blows up if the target MethodInfo is an Array::Get/Set method. These methods are generated at runtime by type loader.
DLR (Hosting API):

Fixes how Kernel#inspect displays instance variables – MRI seems to not display them for classes not defined in Ruby except for Object.
Fixes bugs in RubyBufferedStream.WriteBytes, MutableString.IndexOf, MutableString.LastIndexOf,
Win32OLE so that it doesn’t report a syntax warning.

(tomat) Fixes issues with Kernel#`, system and exec. Paths with spaces and shell commands were not handled correctly.
Also fixes a bug in mspec/lib/mspec/helpers/ruby_exe.rb – it didn’t handle spaces in RUBY_EXE path correctly.
Implements Win32API library – irb depends on it if run on Windows and it “worked” only due to a bug in Kernel#`.
Fixes IO#tty? – it only returns true if the console stream is not redirected to a file or a pipe. Adds some specs to test this.
Disables Process::UID and Process::Sys specs on Windows.

Comment:
(dinov) 24742 Can't delete default module docstring with 2.6 RC1
Module initialization should always assign __doc__
24741 New module with 2.6 RC1 has docstring
Same as 24742
24735 HAPI: PythonEngine does not release ScriptScopes in RC1
We need to hold onto a ScopeStorage objects via a WeakReference – not a strong reference as we do today.
24720 Unexpected site.py behavior - loaded from current dir
DLR shouldn’t force a set of default paths on languages. IronPython should append current directory only after importing site.
24692 Removing a read-only dir should raise an error with errno set to EACCES
When .NET throws an IOException we need to use Marshal.GetLastWin32Error() to get the correct error code for re-throwing
24690 errno.errorcode dict has keys and values inverted
Need to un-invert the values
24691 os.path.abspath should handle invalid paths
Need to deal with drive separators when handling invalid paths on Windows.
24636 Attempt to override __dict__ on a subclass of module (type(sys)) fails in IPy
This is all kinds of broken. We need to lookup in the types MRO for user defined attributes in the custom __getattribute__/__setattr__/__delattr__ methods. We also need to make sure that we’re not defining __dict__ on a subclass whose base classes already have it defined (added a new test case not involving modules to test_class for this).
Also:
Adding ImplicitConvertTo to hosting APIs and updating LanguageContext to receive bool? Indicating explicit, implicit, or language defined.
Fixing “pecified path” error message to include the S
Removing GC.SuppressFinalize call from XRange iterator that isn’t needed
Adding fast path for creating ints from bools
Fixing stack overflow when accessing __doc__ - given
