All,

FXRuby version 1.6.11 is now available for download from this page:

        http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=300&release_id=11201

This is a bug fix release and is strongly recommended. Note that if  
you''re building FXRuby from source, 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), 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:

        http://www.fxruby.org

Enjoy,

Lyle

Hi Lyle,

I have just given a try to your new FXRuby release, and I have a few

I''m using that Ruby version: ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12)
[i386-mswin32]

Until now, I had no single problem with version 1.6.6. With that new
version, I get not only warnings at start, but also other weired things
later, like Win32OLE that does not work anymore. But I have to
invertigate that a little bit further...

Do we need Ruby 1.8.6 maybe? You mention "compatible with the latest
One-Click Installer for Ruby" in your announce. 1.8.5 is in not the
latest version, but close!

This bug has been fixed and I can''t imagine how it could have snuck
back in. Can you tell me which version of the Ruby One-Click Installer
you''re using, specifically?

Well, I *am* compiling everything against the Ruby 1.8.6 include
files, and linking against that version of the Ruby library, so it''s
possible that there are some binary incompatibilities with Ruby 1.8.5.
I will try to investigate this later today and see if I can reproduce
the bug.

Hi,

I''m using "ruby185-24.exe".

OK.

I can confirm that the problem is there for Ruby 1.8.5 as installed
from that version of the one-click installer (ruby186-24.exe). I did a
clean install of Ruby, and then the 1.6.11 gem for FXRuby, and saw the
mess.

I can *also* confirm that the problem is corrected in Ruby 1.8.6, from
the latest one-click installer. I was testing the same gem
(fxruby-1.6.11-mswin32.gem) in both cases, so the difference is
definitely in Ruby and not in FXRuby.

So my answer is: Time for you to upgrade to 1.8.6. ;)

I''ll do it! :)

Thanks for your help,
