= Announce: RubyGems Release 1.1.1 Release 1.1.1 fixes some bugs. Bugs Fixed: * Gem.prefix now returns non-nil only when RubyGems was installed outside sitelibdir or libdir. * The `gem server` gem list now correctly links to gem details. * `gem update --system` now passes --no-format-executable to setup.rb. * Gem::SourceIndex#refresh! now works with multiple gem repositories. * Downloaded gems now go into --install-dir's cache directory. * Various fixes to downloading gem metadata. * `gem install --force` now ignores network errors too. * `gem pristine` now rebuilds extensions. * `gem update --system` now works on virgin Apple ruby. * Gem::RemoteFetcher handles Errno::ECONNABORTED. * Printing of release notes fixed.

NOTE: If you have installed RubyGems using a package system 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: 1. DOWNLOAD FROM: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 2. UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE 3. 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! -- Jim & Chad & Eric (for the RubyGems team)
