As far as I know: these REE releases/patches are for 1.8.7, a release of Ruby that isn't quite being actively developed, only maintained. Stuff similar to this is being folded into the official Ruby interpreter, which is now at 1.9.1 (1.9.2 soon!).
The uptake of Ruby 1.9.1 has been slow, and people are staying on 1.8.7 for compatibility reasons. Thus, these patches are trying to bring better memory performance to the old but widely used 1.8.7.
- jamesbritt 17y agoSwap 1.8.6 for 1.8.7 and you'd be more correct.
- jamesbritt 17y agoCan someone explain why this was downvoted? People are staying ion 1.8.6, not 1.8.7 (though some are moving there). 1.8.7 is being developed; 1.8.6 is in maintenance mode by way of EngineYard. http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/ http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/ * Ruby 1.9 - Edge version of Ruby o Ruby 1.9.1 - The latest stable release of Ruby 1.9 series. * Ruby 1.8 - Stable development version of Ruby o Ruby 1.8.6 - An ancient stable release of Ruby that Rails users love o Ruby 1.8.7 - A stable release of Ruby for bridging a gap between the 1.8 and 1.9. * Ruby - Version-independent topics
