On: Ruby 1.9.3 preview1 released

[tenderlove]

Yes. That was fixed in r31875 which was committed before the 1.9.3 branch was made.

While the load.c patch made it in this time, is that a good indicator of things making it into 1.9.3 from head? Just thinking about Module#mix here..

[wycats → petercooper]

Why do you want Module#mix in favor of Module#prepend. The former introduces a whole new system for mixins alongside the old one, while the latter simply makes the existing system work for extending existing classes (a first-class, no caveats alias_method_chain)

[petercooper → wycats]

I wasn't really flying the flag for Module#mix, just intrigued as to the pattern of things making it into head and then either making it out into tagged releases (or not).

That said, I confess I was a fan of mix, but it might be in my favor for things to get more complicated sometimes.. ;-)

[tenderlove → petercooper]

Only bug fixes (not new features like Module#mix) will be merged from trunk to the 1.9.3 branch.
