Koichi has finished committing YARV to Ruby’s trunk. We’re on our way to Ruby 1.9.1. Great work, Ruby-Core!

 $ svn co http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk ruby
 $ autoreconf -ivf
 $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/ruby-trunk
 $ make
 # make install-nodoc
 $ export PATH=/opt/ruby-trunk/bin:$PATH
 $ ruby -v
 ruby 1.9.0 (2007-01-01 patchlevel 0) [i386-freebsd6.0]

Oh, and if you want to install extensions, you’ll need to uncomment them in ext/Setup.

Update: Murphy’s got some informal benchmarks which produce a YARV speed-up chart. Try out this script here. (from [ruby-core:9825])
