With the release of Ruby 2.0.0 planned for February 24th, you may want to test out Ruby 2.0.0rc1, the first release candidate for this version, and test if your projects are ready for it. In order to simplify this task for you, we have just released BitNami Ruby Stack with ruby 2.0.0rc1. It is completely self-contained and will not
conflict with your current development environment. You can download it,
give it a try and safely remove it when you are done.
This version includes new features and improvements but it includes a few compatibility issues as well. You can find a
list of changes in the Ruby repository.
If you are not familiar with BitNami Ruby Stack, it is a free
package that simplifies the development and deployment of
Ruby on Rails applications. This version includes ready-to-run versions
of Apache 2.2.23, MySQL 5.5.29, Ruby 2.0.0rc1 and Rails 3.2.11. It
also includes RVM 1.13.6, NGinx 1.2.4, Passenger 3.0.17, SQLite
3.7.10, Git 1.7.11.3 and all required dependencies.
BitNami RubyStack can be deployed
using all-in-one free
native installers (for Linux and Mac OS X),
virtual machines and
Amazon Cloud Images as always and we are happy to add
Windows Azure as an additional Cloud platform. If you are not familitar with this platform yet, check our
Getting Started guide to learn how easy it is to run BitNami applications through the Windows Azure management console.
