Hash: SHA1

All,

FXRuby version 1.4.2 is now available for download from this page:

	http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=300&release_id=2738

Since this is the second release in this series (i.e. those compatible 
with FOX 1.4), it should still be considered unstable. Please report 
any problems either to the mailing list, or even better, log them in 
the Bug Tracker at RubyForge, here:

	http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=1223&group_id=300&func=browse

As usual, the code is provided as a Win32 installer or a binary Gem 
(both compatible with the latest One-Click Installer for Ruby 1.8.2), 
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

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

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

As always, the FXRuby home page is here:

         http://www.fxruby.org

Enjoy,

Lyle

Hi

first of all thanks to Lyle for this new release, it seems to me like  
Christmas in August :)

I''ve tried it with my application and, apart of some warnings about  
deprecated methods that I''ll go to
fix soon, it seems to work .. my only problem, for now, is that I am not  
able to read the registry
information of my application from the ascii file .. I used to set the  
registry as an ascii file with the
code

application = FXApp.new("FRED", "FRED")
application.reg().asciiMode = TRUE
application.reg.read
application.create


and it worked fine .. I have in my %HOME%/.foxrc/FRED a FRED.ini file with  
all my settings .. now, with the new
fox14 it seems it is not reading that file .. I''ve check the
documentation
and seems that the API has not changed ..
any clue?

Thanks a lot, Riccardo :)

Right offhand, I don''t remember seeing anything about changing to the
registry stuff. What is it that makes you believe that your application is
no longer able to read the registry? Are you seeing an error message, or is
it something in the application''s behavior or appearance that leads you
to
believe that it didn''t read the registry settings?

Hi all

ok, I''ve found it .. now the registry is stored in

C:\Documents and Settings\riccardo\foxrc\FRED

instead of %HOME%\.foxrc\FRED

While it is more logic this new directory in a windows environment, there  
is any way to force the
registry location to the old place? Otherwise I need to ask all my users  
to copy that FRED.ini file
 from the old location to the new one (or maybe I can have my application  
do it for them .. hmm).

Thanks again, Riccardo
