Yesterday I found myself trying to figure how which version of Ruby was the latest on a particular date. I had trouble finding a resource with this information using google, so I posted a query to the ruby-talk forum, and Urabi Shyouhei posted a list derived from the ftp site.
In the interest of posterity, here's the list as of now:
