Actually, Ruby used to follows the "unstable odd, stable even" versioning scheme but they seems to quit doing that since 1.9.1 (since both 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 are declared stable[1])

EDIT: provide a source about Ruby 1.9.1

Good to know! I didn't realize 1.9.1 was considered stable.

Similarly, 1.8.7 is the stable version of the 1.8 series.
