Description

The VERSION constant in the Ruby gem returns "FIXME". I've listed v1.8.2 as the affected version as that (and 1.9.0 RC1) are the only versions that I tested, but I suspect this issue goes back further:

  558af6be6 (Douglass Cutting 2010-01-20 01:05:06 +0000 25)   VERSION = "FIXME"

This bug makes it difficult to determine the version of the Ruby gem at runtime.

I suspect this is something that should be replaced by the actual version when the gem is packaged.
