This can be used to add commands (See Gem::CommandManager) or add

gems.
* Added pre/post (un)install hooks for packagers of RubyGems. (Not for gems
themselves).
* RubyGems now installs gems into ~/.gem if GEM_HOME is not writable. Use
--no-user-install command-line switch to disable this behavior.

* RubyGems now updates the ri cache when the rdoc gem is installed and
documentation is generated.
Release 1.2.0 adds new features and fixes some bugs.
New features:
* RubyGems no longer performs bulk updates and instead only fetches the gemspec
files it needs. Alternate sources will need to upgrade to RubyGems 1.2 to
allow RubyGems to take advantage of the new metadata updater. If a pre 1.2
remote source is in the sources list, RubyGems will revert to the bulk update
code for compatibility.
* RubyGems now has runtime and development dependency types. Use
#add_development_dependency and #add_runtime_dependency. All typeless
dependencies are considered to be runtime dependencies.
* RubyGems will now require rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb and
rubygems/defaults/#{RBX_ENGINE}.rb if they exist. This allows packagers and
ruby implementers to add custom behavior to RubyGems via these files. (If
the RubyGems API is insufficient, please suggest improvements via the
RubyGems list.)
* /etc/gemrc (and windows equivalent) for global settings
* setup.rb now handles --vendor and --destdir for packagers
* `gem stale` command that lists gems by last access time

overwrites executables

* RubyGems gracefully handles ^C while loading .gemspec files from disk, bug
#20523
* Paths are expanded in more places, bug #19317, bug #19896
* Gem::DependencyInstaller resets installed gems every install, bug #19444
* Gem.default_path is now honored if GEM_PATH is not set, patch #19502
Other Changes Include:
* setup.rb
* stub files created by RubyGems 0.7.x and older are no longer removed. When
upgrading from these ancient versions, upgrade to 1.1.x first to clean up
stubs.
* RDoc is no longer required until necessary, patch #20414
* `gem server`
* Now completely matches the output of `gem generate_index` and
has correct content types
* Refreshes from source directories for every hit. The server will no longer
need to be restarted after installing gems.
* `gem query --details` and friends now display author, homepage, rubyforge url
and installed location
* `gem install` without -i no longer reinstalls dependencies if they are in
GEM_PATH but not in GEM_HOME
* Gem::RemoteFetcher now performs persistent connections for HEAD requests,
bug #7973
* Gem.prefix now returns non-nil only when RubyGems was installed outside
sitelibdir or libdir.
* The `gem server` gem list now correctly links to gem details.
* `gem update --system` now passes --no-format-executable to setup.rb.
* Gem::SourceIndex#refresh! now works with multiple gem repositories.
* Downloaded gems now go into --install-dir's cache directory.
* Various fixes to downloading gem metadata.
* `gem install --force` now ignores network errors too.
* `gem pristine` now rebuilds extensions.
* `gem update --system` now works on virgin Apple ruby.
* Gem::RemoteFetcher handles Errno::ECONNABORTED.
+ Port patches to allow gems to be installed into an "installion root"
from 1.0.1nb2.
+ Rename the --build-root option to --install-root, which more accurately
reflects the purpose of the option.
+ Update rubygem.mk to work with rubygems-1.1.0.
+ Require 1.1.0 as the minimum rubygems version for the build.
+ Remove GEM_FORMAT and special code to extract the gemspec file
from a gem archive -- `gem spec' can now do it correctly by itself.
+ Rename various *buildroot* targets to *install-root* to match the
name of the `gem' option.
* RubyGems now uses persistent connections on index updates and only
updates from a latest index by default, cutting candidate gems for
updates to roughly 1/4 (at present). Index updates are much faster
now.
* `gem list -r` may only show the latest version of a gem, add --all to
see all gems.
* `gem spec` now extracts specifications from .gem files.
* `gem query --installed` to aid automation of checking for gems.
This update has been tested with the 3 packages in pkgsrc that install
using the ``gem'' command:
devel/rubyforge
misc/ruby-gem_plugin
www/mongrel
This update has also been tested with the 129 packages in my local
tree that install using the ``gem'' command.
Patches from the OpenSuSE rubygems-1.0.1 src rpm.
+ Support user-destdir installation.
+ Dynamically generate the entire portion of the PLIST that corresponds
to the documentation generated by rubygem at install-time.

self healing. Furthermore, if the source index cache is
irreparable, then it is automatically dropped and reloaded.
* The source cache files may now be dropped with the "gem sources
--clear-all" command. (This command may require root is the system
source cache is in a root protected area).

into the ruby bindir.
* Creating and checking digital signatures on gems.
RubyGems is a way to package Ruby libraries/applications for
distribution, its a distribution manager, its a package manager.
RubyGems brings to the world of Ruby a very valuable capability--the
ability to manage concurrent versions of libraries and dependencies
between those libraries. This last aspect of RubyGems is one of the
most important to the end user, because its value is continuous as you
use and program Ruby, but to understand its impact an explanation of
how Ruby manages libraries is in order.
