<installpath>/ssl/
. See SSL-README. - Create a default
.irbrc
file for tab completition and history in irb. - Ability to add and use
rubyinstaller-build.gem
for customized Ruby-Applications. Documentation coming soon... - Run CI tests on AppVeyor for each
git push
to repository. - Build and deploy
rubyinstaller.exe
and7z
packages per AppVeyor and GitHub releases. - Allow MSYS2 to be shipped together with Ruby, when installed side by side or within the ruby directory. Refer to the FAQ.

environment variable for DLL lookups, but provides a API for DLL directory-addition. - Use pure HTML for
Ruby Core + stdlib
documentation instead of CHM files. - Add Ruby to the
PATH
and have.rb
+.rbw
file association by default. - New versioning scheme:
rubyinstaller-<rubyver>-<pkgrel>-<arch>.exe
withpkgrel
counting from 1 perrubyver
