I use ruby on windows for production stuff, so is serious for me, new releases don't break anything I don't know. Otherway, I canno't upgrade my apps, so I will be force to don't use Ruby in 'real' products, only as a (interesting) toy. Sure, the One Click Installer i s great, and your policy is right: moreover: I don't use twitter!! I expect the warnings and docs go 'packaged' with the product, just like the papers that go with my laptop. If not, I want this in any well visible point in the download page, but not in twitter... @Luis: you are right! To be or not to be professionals, is’nt?.

That's one of the reasons I didn't add more things to DataMapper itself on the message :) Hello Dan,

Maybe I didn’t state on the post itself, but DM overcome these issues more quickly than other projects, or at least showed more interest on get those fixed.

That’s one of the reasons I didn’t add more things to DataMapper itself on the message :)

I still do twitter announcements via @datamapper, but I also send messages to the mailing list with links to all the change logs for each gem. Yeah, it's alot of gems to release each time, but I feel like we've got a handle on it. We've even started work on DataObjects (an offshoot of DM that provides optimized DB drivers) to make Windows gems for do_sqlite3 (with future plans to do the same for do_postgres and do_mysql). This was something that we collaborated on with you prior to rake-compiler being released, which we plan to integrate so we can remove some of the scaffolding we built up. If there's anything else that we could be doing better with DataMapper and DataObjects, please let me know.
