Ruby 2.0 update (or 4th ed.)?

My apologies in advance if this has already been announced, but how do you plan to address the upcoming changes for ruby 2.0? Will you just incorporate them into this book (great for those of us who bought the ebook) or do you plan to release a 4th edition?

I would also like to know that.

Yes, me too, will I need to buy this book for the fourth time ?

(My copy of Kernighan and Ritchie “The C Programming language” is 27 years old and still useful :-) )

I feel it is a bit rich to be asking us to cough up again for what is essentially the same book. Is there no discount plan? I got the mailshot but it says $60?!

Just to close the loop here, they did release a 4th edition (in beta now). However, I was given a coupon for a free e-book copy based on my purchase of the 3rd edition. The coupon expires in 30 days, so make sure to redeem it soon if you get one.

Thanks John – useful to know. I am hoping they will comment on this issue too.

Kevin:

If you bought the 3rd edition from us, the update to the 4th edition is free.
