Ruby 1.9 was released on Christmas Day of 2007 as version 1.9.0, after undergoing a year or so as an experimental testbed for changes to the Ruby language and core class library.Unfortunately this wasn't part of his official announcement of the release on ruby-talk.
- The release version will be 1.9.0, not 1.9.1 as we have announced before. This denotes the fact it is not as stable as we expected. But the all incompatible changes are done already.
- THE 1.9 IS INCOMPATIBLE. YOUR APPLICATION MAY NOT WORK AS IT IS. The porting know-how (or porting tools maybe) will not provided as of the first release.
We don't know. We REALLY hope it comes soon. But there are so many variables involved. Only good news is 1.9 spec is almost fixed at the last Christmas.In addition to finalizing the specification, using Ruby 1.9 for production depends on having a 1.9 compatible version of whatever infrastructure code is needed by a particular Ruby application.

!, !=, ==, equal?, singleton_method_added, singleton_method_removed, and singleton_method_undefined). This simplifies writing proxy classes.

The semantics of Enumerable#zip have been changed back to be mostly like 1.8 in trunk already. This means that the 1.9.0 tag has semantics that will never be in any other version of Ruby. Pretty unusable if you ask me, even for test purposes. :( PS. The stupid infoq comment login popup defeats FF's remember password feature.
