It looks like the MacRuby Roadmap[1] hasn't been updated since before 0.5 was released. I was surprised (albeit pleasantly) to see the release of 0.8 yesterday, since the due date in Trac[2] was set for February 19, 2011. However, there doesn't appear to be a due date set for any future releases[3]. I would love to get a better sense of the goals, scope, and timeline for these upcoming releases. For example: Is it a goal of the 1.0 release to pass 100% of RubySpecs? If not, are there more modest, pragmatic goals (e.g. running Rails)? Are there any hard deadlines for MacRuby driven by Mac OS X Lion?

Nobody at Apple will comment on anything related to an OS X release so I wouldn't expect an answer to your last question. Regarding the 1.0 roadmap, the goal is to close all these bugs: http://www.macruby.org/trac/report/17 Releases are pushed when ready and while 100% rubyspecs passing and running rails (much harder than runnning the rubyspecs) are goals, I don't think they are 1.0 requirements. The top priority of 1.0 is to be extremely solid when it comes to Cocoa dev. Making sure we can run a web framework which uses all the weirdest Ruby edge cases known to Rubyists is interesting to test the compatibility but that doesn't provide such a great value to the end users. - Matt On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 7:08 AM, Erik Michaels-Ober <sferik@gmail.com>wrote:
