[MacRuby-devel] Subject: Re: Strange NSDate behavior building 32 bit v 64 bit

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi Richard,

0.7 is a bit old at this point, I recommend using the latest release, 0.8.

This said, nightly builds have been pretty stable so far, so you may want to try one too. This is basically what will be released as 0.9 very soon (this week maybe!).

Have you filed a ticket in trac with a reduction (e.g. the minimum code necessary to demonstrate the problem) yet?  That will allow us to track and prioritize the work for possible inclusion in 0.9 (or later, depending on how things go).
