RubyInstaller-3.1.3-1 - 2022-11-27

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

• Update of the SSL CA certificate list.
• Update the bundled MSYS2 keyring package.

  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.
