rbenv 1.3.0 Released

Feature Changes

• The rbenv init command now modifies shell initialization files instead of printing instructions

  This solves one of the most common pitfalls rbenv users were experiencing: many did not understand that rbenv init only printed instructions intended for humans but did not change anything in their shell environment. Now, rbenv init actually modifies the environment, which seems to be what most users expected in the first place.

  • rbenv init in setup mode defaults to no auto-rehashing
  • Init script automatically adds rbenv to PATH if necessary

• Simplify resolving symlinks, remove native bash extension. This solves a GPL license compliance issue where a GPL-licensed script was distributed with this project, which was not compatible with this project's license (MIT).

• Support GEM_HOME

• Add man page for rbenv
