We cannot continue to be at the mercy of core Ruby where we have to wait a year just to get improvements in the standard library. Here's my solution: - Don't touch REXML in the 1.8 branch. - Create a REXML project on RubyForge. - Put the current version out as a download on RubyForge. - Put your new version out as a download on RubyForge. - Create a gem for the current version and the new version. - Call the new version REXML 4.0 - Update the RAA entry. - Put a big warning sticker on it (in the CHANGES file or wherever) about backwards compatability (if the version jump isn't enough). - Let people download it at their discretion. - With gems for both, people can explicitly require the version they want, or not download it at all. ALL standard library packages should be available outside of the main distribution as separate downloads. Worried about compatibility with the new version of Ruby? Run the test suite. Worried about compatability within the same library? Read the changes file for compatability issues or use gems to require explicit versions in your code. That, or don't download it in the first place. Regards, Dan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
