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-3.0.5, see release notes.
  • Update of the SSL CA certificate list.
  • Update the bundled MSYS2 keyring package.
  • Fix start menu entry for rubygems-server.
  • 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 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.
