All,

FXRuby version 1.6.6 is now available for download from this page:

	http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=300&release_id=9602

Note that you should be using FOX 1.6.16 or later due to some  
important changes made in that release of FOX.

For a summary of the changes in this release of FXRuby, please see  
this page:

	http://www.fxruby.org/doc/changes.html

As usual, the code is provided as a Win32 installer or a binary Gem  
(both compatible with the latest One-Click Installer for Ruby 1.8.5),  
as a source gem, and as a source tarball. For instructions on  
compiling FXRuby from source, please see:

	http://www.fxruby.org/doc/build.html

And as always, the FXRuby home page is here:

Enjoy,

Lyle

I didn''t do anything specifically to fix your bug, so I guess
that''s
up to you. The problem with memory-related bugs is that they are  
difficult to reproduce, and a given bug will sometimes manifest  
itself in different ways.

No, there''s nothing wrong. There are only minor differences between  
FOX versions 1.6.20 and 1.6.21, and none of those differences will  
affect the behavior of FXRuby, so there was simply no point in  
updating the version of FOX used for this build of FXRuby. (See the  
FOX News page for more information about what changed in version  
1.6.21.)
