Hello!

RubyInstaller project has recently released 2.1.3 (of 2.1.x series) on both 32 and 64bits:

I would like to know if it is possible include this in the VM?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Cheers.

   Thank you!

   For the record, it uses the same pairs of DevKits as Ruby 2.0 (32 and 64bits respectively)

   Cheers!

   I've installed Ruby 2.1.3 and 2.1.3 x64 into C:\Ruby21 and C:\Ruby21-x64 respectively (without DevKits for now). However, there is a problem with too long gem installation. We had this problem before on Ruby 1.9.3 after doing system update. This time it's clean out-of-the-box install of Ruby 2.1.3 and installing even simple gem like gem install rubyzip takes minutes, not seconds.

   You might want to take a look.

   Thank you Feodor,

   There could be some network performance issue, some folks are reporting issues like that:

   https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/1017

   In relation to DevKit not being installed, is there a particular reason for that?

   I believe you can update config.yml of each of the DevKit to include C:\Ruby21 and C:\Ruby21-x64 respectively on each.

   There is no need to duplicate the DevKit for each 2.0.0 and 2.1 installation (they are actually the same).

   I'm working on a improved mechanism for DevKit to remove the manual step in the configuration.

   Will love to help figure out if you are doing this with an automated process or what in order to make things simpler for you.

   Thank you in advance for your support.

   Thank you Feodor,

   I've added it to my canary project and will workout performance details with RubyGems folks:

   Thank you for your support and promptly response!
