Ruby 1.9 has been released for quite some time. Netbeans 6.7 supports the 1.9 version, however there was a major obstacle in the way to upgrade: the Ruby debugger was not working in the IDE.
Good news for the Ruby community, Mark Moseley did an awesome job and he recently made debugging in the IDE possible. On Aug 25, ruby-debug19 and ruby-debug-ide19 were released on rubyforge.org.
Thank you, Mark!

You’re welcome. I’ve made some updates to NetBeans 6.7.1, too. See:
