RubyGems 1.0.1

Release 1.0.1 fixes a few bugs.

Bugs 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.

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:

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.

Keep those gems coming!

Great, I just installed at my Macbook and I can report that everything went fine. Kudos for the 1.0 release!
