RubyGems 0.9.4.6 is a beta release for the upcoming 0.9.5 which adds several new features and fixes several bugs.

To upgrade to the beta:

<kbd>gem update --system --source http://segment7.net/</kbd>

To file bugs:

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. For example:

<samp>$ gem --debug unknown_command
Exception `RuntimeError' at [...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:114 - Unknown command unknown_command
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
    Unknown command unknown_command
        [...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:114:in `find_command'
        [...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:103:in `process_args'
        [...]/rubygems/command_manager.rb:74:in `run'
        [...]/rubygems/gem_runner.rb:39:in `run'
        /usr/local/bin/gem:22</samp>

Changes Since 0.9.4.5

  • gem update won’t install gems multiple times (due to dependencies)
  • gem.bat and bin stubs on mswin platforms are improved and compatible with the One-Click Installer
  • gem install no longer installs dependencies for old versions of a gem
  • Removed gem* commands are now replaced with stubs that warn
  • RubyGems now installs correctly with RUBYOPT=-rubygems<code>

For the rest of the updates since RubyGems 0.9.4, see the RubyGems Beta 0.9.4.5 release notes.
