The ruby-marc <https://github.com/ruby-marc/ruby-marc> team is happy to announce that we’ve decided to release the current code as version 1.0.0. There are no non-cosmetic changes to this code compared to the until-now-current version 0.8.2. The jump to version 1.0.0 reflects the *de facto* use of the marc gem in production at dozens of institutions and allows further development to more easily adhere to semantic versioning <http://semver.org/>. In that vein, please begin the process of updating your gem directives in Gemfiles and .gemspec files to something like gem 'marc', '~>1' …to be sure you have the latest backwards-compatible version for your projects. Thanks to everyone involved, from committers to folks who file bugs, for the progress ruby-marc has made over the years. Special thanks for the most recent releases go to Jonathan Rochkind, whose work on encodings (including MARC-8!!) has been relentless. -Bill Dueber, for the ruby-marc contributors- -- Bill Dueber Library Systems Programmer University of Michigan Library
