Hi,

would it be possible to pre-announce releases few days before the real release day, so interested folks could try whether their code works with JRuby. I'm trying to stay up-to-date with trunk, but again, too late.

Pre-announcement would help regressions like the ones related to the debugger (1.1.3 and 1.1.5 breaks the debugger).

Sorry about that...we do need to be better about pre-announcing the release, and I've actually thought it might be workthwhile to always do a short, quick series of RCs before the main release.

Looking at JRUBY-3114, I think you may have been using behavior that was not correct. There were fixes to require because I discovered regardless of whether there are other like-named libraries in the load path, requiring "./foo" always looks for foo in the current directory. Note the following:

Please correct me if any of this is wrong :)

Yup, thanks for details. I've played with it and seems that just using:

  require 'tracelines'

is ok, since the directory where the requirer resides seems to be preferred (even if the other gem with the same file is installed).

The problem is rather with the ruby-debug(-base) versioning. That it is not easy to release hot-fixes (like 0.10.2.1). But that will be hopefully solved for 0.10.3 and further:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=7439&aid=22698&group_id=1900

If 0.10.3 is not released soon I'll likely re-release the 0.10.2 with the fix.

So likely just close that issue.

Thanks,

        m.
