FYI: Ruby 1.6.0 - An object-oriented language for quick and easy programming

I don't like OOP, you folks obviously do. Maybe docs/specs/... are interesting
for you ...

Have fun.

description:
Ruby is a language for quick and easy programming. Similar in scope to
Perl and Python, it has high-level data types, automatic memory
management, dynamic typing, a module system, exceptions, and a rich
standard library. What sets Ruby apart is a clean and consistent
language design where everything is an object. Other distinguishing
features are CLU-style iterators for loop abstraction, singleton
classes/methods and lexical closures.

Changes:
A major release. Numerous bugfixes have been added.
