Hi, It seems like the wxruby homepage has been replaced by a mortgage broker. I do need to refinance, but I was more interested in some documentation on wxruby. Is this a sign that the project is fading into oblivion? If so, I would really like to know what new cross-platform library people are using for developing ruby desktop applications. Josh

Someone registered the domain years ago, then it lapsed and got bought up. It doesn''t seem to me a big enough problem to spend time or money on it.> Is this a sign that the project is fading into oblivion?

Not much active development and some bugs & problems with newer platforms - but - a pretty complete and stable port of one of the most capable cross-platform GUI toolkits. You take your pick. I''m not aware of any exciting developments in the GUI libraries for Ruby in the past few years, but I don''t follow it that closely these days. Cheers alex
Ok. Thanks. The "Homepage" link from rubygems.org takes me to the "non" wxruby website. I''ve been using wxruby some and I like it, but I just want to make sure that I''m not investing a lot of time into a platform that isn''t going to last.

Some time ago someone came around here who wanted to start developing again, but he disappeared quite quickly. Beside that, a friend of mine started a completely new project at https://github.com/Hanmac/rwx , but it?s in a very young phase of development, doesn?t work with wxWidgets 2.8 (requires 2.9+) and does neither have the current user base nor the documentation wxRuby has. And currently it?s by no means intended to be used by someone who doesn?t want to contribute. However, wxRuby works; mostly, at least. There?s a problem with a certain version of pixman (I can?t remember which one) and multi-threading won?t work, but other than that, wxRuby is still quite usable. I still use it for my everyday GUI stuff.> JoshVale, Marvin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJP10y4AAoJELh1XLHFkqhaiMUH/2vMUWOvfRJ6GWNsiXGXfjru +oc3HcseuscBT521nynA8hD2vcHvqo8L2IJXgw6Cq+uP8rQtZuKH8umoift6kFXm WPEQ0Ad5eRUzi8lBBzSGdym8pSSEGd3uBjAMwyzNM7jvqq8kihXo/k6Q0zq6o42C ucD6lwqZQKtig5lG9rYw0ENTpPCDIq9CrLLoDCfASBAKpAg3jp+mc0ggOHemqP1S PyVK3YXCC6niMsTITjV3cJ3qbkGlIHsB457w1FrykHqob4s7eB407CI6Q4aEnhkw oVBJ96cRNNcGhL0TEL/8n+TWwfW7oY6PUUuL1vSkvo6q+CkdSlVqDD9BM03iyb4=wkMS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
OK - thanks for the heads-up. We should correct that link.
