Re: Which version of Ruby should I use with Vim 7.4?

I read about the issue here http://hynek.me/articles/vim-7-3-on-win32/ and downloaded a version that was compiled for Ruby 2 from http://wyw.dcweb.cn/. Works great.

However, this should probably be reported as an issue. I read that bugs should be reported on vim_dev but I don't know if this qualifies. I read somewhere that if one is not sure that it's a bug, use vim_use instead.

If I look in the gvim.exe file, it references "msvcrt-ruby192.dll", but even the latest ruby 1.9.3 has msvcrt-ruby191.dll in it. I tried renaming that to msvcrt-ruby192.dll but it didn't work (results in a "LoadError: Incompatible library version"), not renaming the dll does not work either, has('ruby') == 0 then.
