Quoting http://www.ruby-lang.org/:
| Ruby 1.9.1 is released. This is the first stable release of the Ruby
| 1.9 series.
|
| Ruby 1.9 is a new series of Ruby. It is modern, faster, with clearer
| syntax, multilingualized, a much improved version of Ruby.
|
| Ruby 1.8 series has been used since 2003 and many great products were
| born on it.
| 
| Today, the Ruby 1.9 series starts its history as the 1.8 series did.
| 
| Please note that Ruby 1.8 still remains. 1.8.8 will be released this
| year.

Looking at how Ruby developers usually adopt things, it is very likely
that, by the time squeeze is released (in 18 to 24 months), Ruby 1.9
will be the most popular ruby version.
