API docs on Ruby-doc.org have been updated
I just updated Ruby-doc.org with the current set of Ruby API docs. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking: “Wow, James, that was fast!”
Actually, I let things slip way too long. I’ve a million really good reasons, but I can’t imagine anyone wants to hear them. However, a few things to note:
The site now defaults to showing the core and standard-lib docs for Ruby 1.9.2. There are additional links to core and standard-lib docs for 1.8.7 and 1.8.6. I expect that the new default version will disturb some people. I had earlier changed the default to 1.8.7, and there was much noise, because while it was arguably the current Ruby 1.8, it was by no means commonly used. And at that time 1.9 has not gained much adoption. I think the situation is better now. Making either 1.9.7 or 1.9 the default would be a sensible choice. I picked 1.9, though, because that’s where it’s all headed anyway. (One thing that occurred to me as I was checking the new links, though, is that the doc pages do not tell you the Ruby version. I need to go see how I can best set that in the rdoc template someplace to reduce confusion.)
