I thought 1.8.6-27 (patchlevel 287) was the one with the bug that affected click_no_wait. That is what seems to be indicated by http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-320- but there are varying reports in the comments there of whether or not it's still an issue with watir 1.6.5.
I've been on 1.8.6-26 (patchlevel 111) until recently trying out the shiny new mingw32 builds, which are nice except for that annoying DL bug (I've switched from DL to FFI on my fork, so avoided that issue). -Ethan On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 12:13, Bret Pettichord <[email protected]> wrote: > I should have said that I was thinking of recommending > > 1.8.6-27RC2 > http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=28426 > > This is what I've been using for some time. > > I agree that it is too soon to recommend the new mingw32 installers. > > Bret > > > > On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 10:32 AM, Ethan <[email protected]> wrote: > >> The new 1.8.* RCs using the mingw32 compiler have an issue with DL >> callbacks causing segfaults.
