Release 1.0.1 fixes a few bugs.

Bugs Fixed:

• Installation on Ruby 1.8.3 through 1.8.5 fixed
• gem build on 1.8.3 fixed

Other Changes Include:

• Since RubyGems 0.9.5, RubyGems is no longer supported on Ruby 1.8.2 or older, this is official in RubyGems 1.0.1.

How can I get RubyGems?

NOTE: If you have installed RubyGems using a package you may want to install a new RubyGems through the same packaging system.

If you have a recent version of RubyGems (0.8.5 or later), then all you need to do is:

gem update --system   (you might need to be admin/root)

(Note: You may have to run the command twice if you have any previosly installed rubygems-update gems).

If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still do it in two steps:

gem install rubygems-update  (again, might need to be admin/root)
update_rubygems              (... here too)

If you don’t have any gems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software … doing it manually:

• DOWNLOAD FROM: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
• UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE
• INSTALL WITH: ruby setup.rb (you may need admin/root privilege)

To File Bugs

The RubyGems bug tracker can be found on RubyForge at: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=126&atid=575

When filing a bug, gem env output will be helpful in diagnosing the issue.

If you find a bug where RubyGems crashes, please provide debug output. You can do that with gem --debug the_command.

Thanks

Keep those gems coming!
