Hi,

after upgrading to this new version of Ruby readline does not seem to
work in IRB any more.  I tried using parameter --readline as well as
various combinations of packages readline, libreadline5 and
libreadline6 but to no avail.  Switching back to the previous version
(ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-cygwin]) solves the issue.
Did anybody else experience this?  Is there another solution for this?

Kind regards

robert
