ruby-build 20131028

ruby-build is the tool that provides the rbenv install command, but can also be used standalone for all your Ruby building needs.

How to update:

• Homebrew: brew upgrade ruby-build
• rbenv plugin: cd "$(rbenv root)"/plugins/ruby-build && git pull

Noticeable changes

• Our CloudFront download mirror is now up to date! Downloads for all Ruby versions, even newer ones, are going to be speedy again. The mirror is sponsored by 37signals.
• Use all available CPU cores used for compiling. Intel Core i5/i7 owners should experience a speedup in building Rubies.
• Enable compiling Ruby 1.8 on OS X 10.8+ without extra flags. (Previously it involved installing XQuartz and passing additional flags. Tedious!)
• Use libyaml from Homebrew if available.
• Install Rake and Bundler in isolation when required for building Rubinius and mruby.
• Our wiki now outlines what should be a sane build environment for different platforms.

Also added this month

• Rubinius 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.1.1
• Install Rubinius in a way compatible with rbenv—no extra plugin needed!
• JRuby 1.7.5, 1.7.6

Other goodies

• Abort early for invalid TMPDIR

• Fix installing Ruby 2.1.0 from trunk

• Clearer error message when HTTP download fails

• Set default MAKE=gmake on FreeBSD

• Support relative path as install prefix

• Test suite is back on track and under the watchful eye of Travis CI:
