Ruby 2.1.2 is released

While this is true, Microsoft is making a big push to get Ruby working more equitably on its platform (for example, they had a heavy presence at Chef Conf), so I wouldn't expect this to continue indefinitely.

Having heavy presence at a conference is clearly evidence of trying to get mindshare from users of the thing the conference focuses on, but its less clear that it is evidence of actual concrete work to get the related software working on any platform that you control. Is there really any concrete signs of Microsoft working to get Ruby working better on Windows?

Yeah, they say that every couple of years (eg IronRuby) - it never seems to amount to anything. As with anything MS says, I'll believe it when I see it.
