Hi all
You''ve probably already clicked that 0.0.39 is available now in source
and binaries for all the major platforms. This recommended upgrade is at:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35&release_id=10372
= MAJOR CHANGES
* lots of big and small bugfixes
* New widget classes: ScrollBar, PasswordEntryDialog, MultiChoiceDialog
* New misc classes: GridBagSizer, AcceleratorTable, IconBundle
* New event classes: TextUrlEvent, MenuEvent, ContextMenuEvent
* WINDOW_VARIANTS for OS X (make small and mini Aqua controls)
* Lots of improvements and additions to the docs and samples
= FURTHER DETAILS
In particular, we hope we''ve fixed the very frequent crashes on Windows
- please try running your scripts without GC.disable. This was caused by
a regression when upgrading to SWIG 1.3.31
The large number of startup warnings on GTK should also be fixed, but
there are still occasional warnings on Linux. Note that you should not
try to initialise Pens, Brushes or Fonts outside of the App.main_loop,
as this causes GTK warnings.
There''s one backwards-incompatible change - where previously
TreeItemId.ok was called to test if it was a valid item, you should now
do TreeItemId#nonzero?
= NEXT STEPS
Work on the next release is already well underway in SVN. In this
version we''ll be upgrading to WxWidgets 2.8, and hopefully releasing as
a beta to reflect the increasing stability and completeness of wxRuby2.
= CREDITS
Many thanks to all who contributed code, builds and bug reports to this
release, in particular Sean Long, Roy Sutton, Hawley Waldman and Paul
Allton.
Please report bugs, unexpected behaviour and missing features to the
mailing list or the rubyforge tracker.
cheers
