What problems are you experiencing?

https://rubyinstaller.org/ page is outdated

Steps to reproduce

Goto https://rubyinstaller.org/

What's the output from ridk version?

Not relevant

The home page of RubyInstaller show latest news dated 2020-12-27. But you are now 2 releases later.

It's not a big issue but we need one more click on Download to check new release.

New users can understand it's not well maintained. And for sure it's not true!!

Regards

@larskanis I have come up with the following draft news posts for 3.0.1 & 3.0.2 for your review. Maybe you could add your comments here for releases & I could create the posts & pull requests to master.

3.0.2 Release RubyInstaller-3.0.2-1 has been released! These are maintenance releases with bug and security fixes. See the ruby-3.0.2 release post for more details.

Enabled ruby to support path length of more than 260 characters. See commit 829ab9d Added racc, rbs and typeprof executables to the /bin folder. See #231

Please note, that some gems are not yet compatible with Ruby-3.0 on Windows. In this case you might stay on 2.7 until 3.0 is well supported.

A previous RubyInstaller-2.6.x or 2.7.x installation should not be updated by installing RubyInstaller-3.0.x into the same directory. This is because gems with C extensions are not compatible between ruby-2.7 and 3.0. It's best to use a new directory for 3.0.x as proposed by the installer.

All binaries are available in the [Download section]({{ "/downloads/" | relative_url }})!

3.0.1 Release RubyInstaller-3.0.1-1 has been released! These are maintenance releases with bug and security fixes. See the ruby-3.0.1 release post for more details.

Added more environment variables needed for configure scripts: MSYSTEM_PREFIX, MSYSTEM_CARCH, MSYSTEM_CHOST, MINGW_CHOST, MINGW_PREFIX

Looks good! I think you can use the release date as the date of the post.
