Hello,

I am pleased to announce that Ruby 1.8.6, the latest release from the
1.8 stable branch, has finally been released.

This version of Ruby is a steady and reasonable enhancement of the 1.8

updates, feature enhancements and performance improvements keeping
high backward compatibility with the previous release (1.8.5).

following locations:

After this announcement, we will start the development for 1.8.7 as
well as maintaining the "ruby_1_8_6" branch on which only critical
bugs and security vulnerabilities found in the 1.8.6 release are
fixed, and patch releases will follow on appropriate and timely
occasions.  Please check them out after upgrading Ruby to 1.8.6.


Finally, I'd like to thank all those who helped me with the release
engineering.  All your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
