Hey Alex and Sean, It looks like it is getting to be that time again for a new release. What are we looking at for the release time frame? I''m working still on the wxSDL type library for wxSugar, as I think this would be a great thing to create a Library for, to incorporate SDL into wxRuby. I''m already looking at creating Wx::SDLPanel, which will be the equivalent of SDL.set_video_mode(), except that it''ll basically be using a Panel, and internal methods for retrieving the data from the SDL Surface, and drawing it to the Panel, along with some more utilization and integration of more of the SDL Classes available, such as MPEG, BMFont, TTF, Kanji. I''m even thinking that this would actually be best suited to be a separate package all together, avoiding wxSugar and wxRuby, so as to allow the sdl.so extension to be re-distro''ed with the package. What do you guys think of this?

Up to you how you want to take it forward. If you wanted to include a simple example in the main distro that happened to depend on ''sdl'' that would be fine by me. Perhaps samples/contrib? This could be somewhere to put an ActiveRecord example at some point too. But if you want to build it up into a more comprehensive separate package with a nicer API - sdl is quite bare metal - I''d be happy to see that too. alex

How are other people fixed for time?Monday and Tuesday I''ll be free to do whatever I want. I''m planning to release a SVN Version of wxRIDE here pretty soon, which will only be lacking Project handling and Preferences, so that people can start checking it out. I will need to get linux re-setup here, then I will be able to double check SVN, make sure nothing is missing. Sounds neat. Up to you how you want to take it forward.

Should be simple enough. Note, I said, _SHOULD_ be simple enough. LOL But if you want to build it up into a more comprehensive separate> package with a nicer API - sdl is quite bare metal - I''d be happy to see > that too.I''d still be interested in doing a SDL Package, as a somewhat nicer API, as you suggested, would be more preferable. I think personally, that a separate package be created, so as to keep things simple, especially with building gems. alex L8ers, -- Mario Steele http://www.trilake.net http://www.ruby-im.net http://rubyforge.org/projects/wxruby/ http://rubyforge.org/projects/wxride/ http://rubyforge.org/projects/vwmc/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I would prefer a release Wednesday or after, I should have some time by then. I have not done a build in quite awhile, I need to start doing some testing soon. Sean
Hi I''ve tagged 1.9.5 in the SVN repo and uploaded the source tarball. It''s a bit late here now but I''ll build the Linux binary gem tomorrow morning. My plan is to exclude MediaCtrl from the standard Linux gems to reduce the dependencies but of course people can still build their own with that class supported. I''ll put an announcement out on -users when we''ve got the suite of binary gems available thanks all for your help alex
