The Mac OS X 10.5.4 update came out yesterday, but it did not update the
installed Ruby to 1.8.7. I thought the idea that this sort of thing
would happen was part of the promise of keeping Ruby in a system library
framework...? m.

I think that Ruby 1.8.7 breaks so many things (including all versions
of Rails prior to Rails 2.1) that it's probably for the best that
Apple stuck with Ruby 1.8.6.

well I hope they fixed the nasty bugs found by an apple employee :)

another thing that might hold apple back from updating ruby is that
there's no dtrace patch for 1.8.7 yet...

just my 0,02 cents

Well, it would be nice to know that they at least patched the security
hole.

You really can't expect the average user to do this themselves...

The update is covered at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222 and
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2163.

The first mentions security update 2008-004, which is the second. You
can see a couple of mentions of Ruby in the list.
