Product : Fedora 17
Version : 1.9.3.286
Release : 18.fc17
URL : http://ruby-lang.org/
Summary : An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language
Description :
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy
object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text
files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple,
straight-forward, and extensible.

Update Information:
New version 1.9.3 patchlevel 286 is released.
