Product     : Fedora 13
Version     : 1.8.6.399
Release     : 4.fc13
URL         : http://www.ruby-lang.org/
Summary     : An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language
Description :
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy
object-oriented programming.  It has many features to process text
files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl).  It is simple,
straight-forward, and extensible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

A bug was reported that ruby crashes when executing a script which uses some
unqualified constant. Also it seems that Ruby/Tk in current rpm in Fedora causes
crash even in some easy case.    This new rpm will fix these issues.
