How much effort is it to get 1.8.7 compatible? How much to get 1.9 compatible?
What is driving the push to release 1.0? My fear is that releasing 1.0 so close to release of Rails 3 without the ability to run it will do little for IronRuby's image in the wider Ruby community (who, from my admittedly limited experience, care about weather it can run Rails or not). -- Will Green http://hotgazpacho.org/ On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 4:17 PM, Jimmy Schementi < jimmy.scheme...@microsoft.com> wrote: > Here's the current compatibility plan, let me know if this concerns anyone: > > > > IronRuby 1.0.x releases: ONLY ruby-1.8.6 compatible > > =================================================== > > IronRuby has created a 1.0-servicing branch (not on GitHub yet, > > but shortly); all ruby-1.8.6 compatible releases will come out > > of that branch, starting with the just-released 1.0-rc2, followed > > by 1.0, and any future 1.0.x releases.
