RubyInstaller-3.2.0-1 - 2022-12-29

This is the first release based on ruby-3.2.0: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2022/12/25/ruby-3-2-0-released/

Changes compared to RubyInstaller-3.1.3-1

• Add installer dialog to select per-user or all-users installation.
  See out Wiki for further description of the install modes.
• Add installer options /ALLUSERS and /CURRENTUSER for silent install.
  For silent install see: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/wiki/FAQ#user-content-silent-install
• Enable automatic private gem installation in user's home on a machine wide ruby setup, if the user doesn't have write access.
• List machine wide rubies in addition to per-user rubies at ridk use.
• Add full administrator access to the install directory.
  Without this permission an admin had to use the takeown command to regain write access to a per-user installation.
• Set proper permissions of MSYS /tmp directory, so that every user can create and use files, but not read or change files of other users.
  This is needed for a machine wide installation.
• Check or add a system wide gemrc file at every rubygems load to prevent hijacking by another user.
• Avoid UNICODE characters in TMP env var to work around issues of gcc. #320
• Switch to OpenSSL-3. This has several implications on the Ruby API and disables support for legacy crypto algorithms.
  See https://github.com/ruby/openssl/blob/master/History.md#version-300 and https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/doc/man7/migration_guide.pod#openssl-30

RubyInstaller-3.1.3-1 - 2022-11-27

Added

• Restrict write permissions to the installing user.
  For several reasons we use C:/RubyXXX direcory by default but not C:/Program Files (see: oneclick/rubyinstaller#135 ).
  Using an install path under C:/ previously inherited write permissions for everyone, which compromised security in a multi user environment.
• ridk use Add options to store the change permanently in the user or system environment variables. #314

• Update of the SSL CA certificate list.
• Update the bundled MSYS2 keyring package.

Removed

• No longer create registry keys under Software\RubyInstaller\MRI\<RubyVersion>. #242
  They weren't used any longer and didn't distinguish between 32 and 64-bit versions.
• No longer install the 32 bit but only the 64 bit version of MSYS2 as part of ridk install.
  It is still possible to get a pure 32-bit MSYS2 and Ruby installation by using the 32-bit RubyInstaller+Devkit package.
