RubyInstaller-3.1.7-1 - 2025-03-26

Changed

  • Update to ruby-3.1.7, see release notes.
  • Apply all security patches that Canonical provides for Ubuntu-20.04 because version 1.1.1 is out of maintanence from the OpenSSL project:
    • CVE-2024-2511
    • CVE-2024-4741
    • CVE-2024-5535
    • CVE-2024-9143
    • CVE-2024-13176
  • Fix automatic pacman package install when using bundler-2.5.x. #396
  • Fix pacman install error in parallel bundler install -jX. #403 pacman invocation is now serialized to avoid locking errors.
  • Update MSYS2 download version to 2024-12-08 for ridk install 1. #402
  • Add junction (directory link) at <ruby>/ssl, which allows to easily find the OpenSSL certificates directory. #399 The certificates directory varies between ruby versions and the junction unifies the location. It is described in <ruby>/ssl/README-SSL.md.
  • Update the SSL CA certificate list.
  • Remove installed gems and MSYS2 by the uninstaller per default. #408 So far the uninstaller only removed the ruby install files, but kept installed gems and MSYS2. The old behaviour is available when running the uninstaller with option /allfiles=no. See in the wiki. This is to prepare RubyInstaller for the Microsoft Store.
  • Avoid early load of etc.so allowing updates of etc.gem. #388
  • Set a single key in gemrc to allow appending to this file. #388

RubyInstaller-3.1.6-1 - 2024-06-03

Changed

RubyInstaller-3.1.5-1 - 2024-04-24

Changed

  • Update to ruby-3.1.5, see release notes.
  • Update the SSL CA certificate list.
  • Update to OpenSSL-1.1.1w and because version 1.1.1 is out of maintanence from the OpenSSL project apply all security patches that Canonical provides for Ubuntu-20.04:
    • CVE-2023-5678
    • CVE-2024-0727
    • Implicit rejection as a protection against Bleichenbacher attacks
  • Update the bundled MSYS2 keyring package.
  • Avoid crash even if a registry key incldues inconvertible characters
  • Avoid method redefinition warning in rubygems hook
  • Allow setting of MSYS2 path by environment variable MSYS2_PATH. #361 This setting is preferred over all other methods to find the MSYS2 directory.

RubyInstaller-3.1.4-1 - 2023-04-01

Changed

  • Update to ruby-3.1.4, see release notes.
  • Update the SSL CA certificate list and to OpenSSL-1.1.1t.
  • Add installer dialog to select per-user or all-users installation. See out Wiki for further description of the install modes.
  • Add installer options /ALLUSERS and /CURRENTUSER for silent install. For silent install see: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/wiki/FAQ#user-content-silent-install
  • Enable automatic private gem installation in user's home on a machine wide ruby setup, if the user doesn't have write access.
  • List machine wide rubies in addition to per-user rubies at ridk use.
  • Set proper permissions of MSYS /tmp directory, so that every user can create and use files, but not read or change files of other users. This is needed for a machine wide installation.
  • Check or add a system wide gemrc file at every rubygems load to prevent hijacking by another user.
  • Avoid UNICODE characters in TMP env var to work around issues of gcc. #320

RubyInstaller-3.1.3-1 - 2022-11-27

Added

  • Restrict write permissions to the installing user. For several reasons we use C:/RubyXXX direcory by default but not C:/Program Files (see: oneclick/rubyinstaller#135 ). Using an install path under C:/ previously inherited write permissions for everyone, which compromised security in a multi user environment.
  • ridk use Add options to store the change permanently in the user or system environment variables. #314

Changed

  • Update to ruby-3.1.3, see release notes.
  • Update of the SSL CA certificate list.
  • Update the bundled MSYS2 keyring package.
  • Fix start menu entry for rubygems-server and irb.
  • Run the ruby command prompt in the start menu with ridk enable.
  • Update the start menu entry with the newly installed ruby version. They kept the old ruby version previously.
  • Fix irb hook in ruby-3.1, which re-encodes .irb_history to UTF-8 on demand.
  • Fix possible crash in ridk use. #291

Removed

  • No longer create registry keys under Software\RubyInstaller\MRI\<RubyVersion>. #242 They weren't used any longer and didn't distinguish between 32 and 64-bit versions.
  • No longer install the 32 bit but only the 64 bit version of MSYS2 as part of ridk install. It is still possible to get a pure 32-bit MSYS2 and Ruby installation by using the 32-bit RubyInstaller+Devkit package.
  • The file <ruby>\bin\ruby_builtin_dlls\libssp-0.dll is no longer shipped as part of RubyInstaller. It is no longer needed with the latest gcc, but previously installed gems with extensions link to this DLL. The dependency to libssp-0.dll is currently still fulfilled by the bundled MSYS2 distribution. To re-compile the gem without this DLL gem pristine --extensions can be used.

RubyInstaller-3.1.2-1 - 2022-04-19

Changed

  • Update to ruby-3.1.2, see release notes.
  • Update of the SSL CA certificate list.
  • Update the bundled MSYS2 keyring package.

Changes compared to RubyInstaller-3.0.3-1

  • Change C-runtime from MSVCRT to UCRT of x64 version. See the feature request here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17845 UCRT is the modern C-runtime of Windows replacing the legacy MSVCRT. There are several platform strings that change with the new release. They are summarized here: ruby/ruby#4599 In particular the ruby and gem platform is now "x64-mingw-ucrt" instead of "x64-mingw32" and the MSYS2 package prefix is now mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-.
  • No longer require fiddle before booting Rubygems, but use the new C-extension "win32/dll_directory". Fixes #251
