Chapter 6. Ruby Updates
Compared to most other languages, Ruby is rather young. As a result, it’s still evolving fairly rapidly.
If you find a bug in Ruby, the
first thing to do is to check the bug database and see if the problem
has already been reported. The bug database can be found at
http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/ruby-bugs.
You can either send the bug report directly from that page or send an
email to ruby-bugs@ruby-lang.org.
When you submit your bug, try to include all relevant information
such as source code, operating system, the output from
ruby -v, and what version/build
of Ruby you are running. If you have compiled your own build of Ruby,
you should also include the rbconfig.rb.
The current stable version of Ruby can always be found at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/download.html. There are also several mirror sites available.
The current developmental release can be obtained from the CVS (Concurrent Version System) repository. See http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/cvsrepo.html for instructions. You can get CVS tools from http://www.cvshome.com.
