ruby 1.8.2 preview2 was released.

As already reported, helium.ruby-lang.org, which is one of the servers that provided various services relevant to Ruby development, was cracked by an unauthorized user. We, the ruby-lang.org administrators, are reporting our analysis of this intrusion and the countermeasures we’ve taken.

ruby 1.8.2 preview1 was released.

Anonymous CVS repository for csv(lib/csv) and soap4r(lib/soap4r) were once released to public at 2004-07-05 15:30:00 JST (2004-07-05 06:30:00 UTC). But I, the maintainer of these repository, found my checking process of CVS repository was not enough. So I suspended the repositories again. Users who checkout these repositories from 2004-07-05 15:30:00 JST to 2004-07-06 16:30:00 JST must check your CVS workspace. I’m sorry for the trouble this error caused you. I’ll report again after confirmation of these repositories. csv and soap libraries which are bundled to ruby’s repository(/src/ruby) were confirmed that it is safe.

lib/soap4r, lib/csv, mod_ruby-old were added to the Anonymous CVS repository. Then, eruby was renamed to eruby-old. mod_ruby/eruby are developed on the Subversion repository now.
