I have updated the version of ruby on cygwin.com to 1.8.6-1. This is an upstream bugfix and maintainance release. The Cygwin release is built from the vanilla sources. The --enable-auto-image-base change from 1.8.5-3 (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2007-02/msg00019.html) has gone upstream and has been included in 1.8.6.
You can find the official release message and summaries of the changes here: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2007/03/12/ruby-1-8-6-released/ To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
