As you know, we are getting close to releasing 0.5 RC1 so I figured you might wonder about the latest progress happening in trunk.<br><br>If you really want to give 0.5 trunk a spin and don&#39;t want to compile from source, Snow Leopard users with 64bit CPU can download the nightly builds: <a href="http://macruby.icoretech.org/">http://macruby.icoretech.org/</a>  (the nightly web app has been put on GitHub by Claudio if you care to look at the source code).<br>
<br>So what&#39;s new?  Lots of bug fixes, macgem is getting closer to be ready. It&#39;s still slow but now you can require your gems by doing require &#39;game_name&#39; instead of gem &#39;gem_name&#39;; require &#39;gem_name&#39;. The performance should be improved greatly once we know everything works well. Feel free to give it a try and report bugs in the tracker.<br>
<br>Also, backtraces are almost back :) As of this morning, uncaught exceptions don&#39;t print the backtrace but if you want to give it a try, catch your exception and print its backtrace. Example:<br><br>begin<br>  raise &#39;this is just a test&#39;<br>
rescue Exception =&gt; e<br> raise &quot;#{e}\n backtrace: #{e.backtrace}&quot;<br>end<br><br>However, as of next nightly build, macruby should have uncaught exceptions printing the backtrace.<br><br>Exciting time coming up, get ready to test MacRuby 0.5 RC1 :)<br>
