Hi Lyle,

I have just given a try to your new FXRuby release, and I have a few
problems when my application starts:

I'm using that Ruby version: ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12)
[i386-mswin32]

Until now, I had no single problem with version 1.6.6. With that new
version, I get not only warnings at start, but also other weired things
later, like Win32OLE that does not work anymore. But I have to
invertigate that a little bit further...

Do we need Ruby 1.8.6 maybe? You mention "compatible with the latest
One-Click Installer for Ruby" in your announce. 1.8.5 is in not the
latest version, but close!
