I just finished my release flood and we cracked release #300!
We’re now up to 321 (we started at 297)! Buy stuff off my amazon
wishlist or I’ll keep releasing until all your mailboxes fill up!

Isn’t that kind-of bad netiquette? Perhaps you are half kidding. Sorry
if I
don’t get it.

Yeah, really. And you think yourself a programmer. I myself never write
tests, cause it always just works.

I fear change. Could you please stop improving your software and just
write it correctly the first time? Thanks.

John,
Even if that were possible, I fear it would require a level of
dedication to TDD that Ryan simply doesn’t possess.

While all those packages are outstanding and/or ground-breaking, I
personally think that the RSS feed @ rubyforge or some ruby news
aggregator site would be more appropriate for announcing updates of
well-known & essential packages.

I prefer new and interesting packages to well-known and essential
packages.
The latter can be handled automatically through RubyGems because all the
ones I care about I already have installed. The former: well, I want to
hear about them because I don’t have them installed!

Sorry, release announcements have been happening here for years.
PS: I may have even argued against them, but I’m too lazy to check the
archives.

Yup, and 300+ is just “bloat”. Can’t you wrap them up in a single
instance?

btw, one of the things i like about those gems is that they are 1.9
ready.
cool really.
best regards =botp

Approved. Yet, I’d prefer a dedicated ruby-announcements list that
comprises ruby-related announcments/news from sourceforge, rubyforge,
github etc.

Seems like you could pretty easily filter this stuff yourself, since
every recent release announcement on ruby-talk has “[ANN]” in the
subject.

Well, it probably took some years to reach 300. How many emails have
you written in that time?
