Ruby 1.9 released

Great Christmas gift from matz and other contributors: Ruby 1.9. Some highlights:

Around 2x performance increase in many cases, thanks to YARV-based code
Nice syntax enhancements, like (1..10).reduce(:+) # => 55
JavaScript-style literal hashes: {var: "value"}
Lots of other enhancements

Ruby 1.9 is a development release, and contains a lot of experimental features. For production, it’s recommended to continue using 1.8 branch.
