We just reverted back this change due to a big list of problems people discovered when using ruby 1.9 that we did not anticipated. We will continue working on improving 1.9 support, as well on the improving ways people can use 1.8 and 1.9 simultaneously. However, we decided to delay the switch until the major problems we discovered are solved. I would like to apologize to all folks who were affected. If you wish to keep 1.9 as a default version, just add RUBY_DEFAULT_VERSION=1.9 to your /etc/make.conf. Othewise, follow the instructions in UPDATING to downgrade. If you didn't performed the update yet, everything should continue to work as expected.
