I'm from Phusion.
There will be no Ruby Enterprise Edition 2.0. REE has been discontinued.
The original goal of REE was to incorporate our copy-on-write friendliness patches into Ruby, and to distribute it in a user-friendly form. Since then, its goal has been extended to include other useful patches as well. We've discontinued Ruby Enterprise Edition for the following reasons:
1. Ruby 2.0 incorporates (or obsoletes) all these improvements.
2. Ruby 1.8 is no longer supported even by its upstream authors.
3. We have limited resources and wanted to focus on Phusion Passenger. Since the discontinuation of REE we've made tremendous improvements in Passenger.
The plan was to hand over maintainership to another interested party. Unfortunately nobody volunteered. http://blog.phusion.nl/2012/02/21/ruby-enterprise-edition-1-8-7-2012-02-released-end-of-life-imminent/ http://blog.phusion.nl/2012/02/21/ruby-enterprise-edition-1-...
