fxruby users - Aug 2005 - Nagging Lyle

Hey Lyle,

How''s FxRuby 1.4(1.5?) coming along? I have this computer with a cron
job that
parses rubyforge every 15 minutes for the string ''fxruby 1.4''
to see
if it might be there. Ok, not really, but I''m eager nevertheless. :)
You''re
like the Solo Joe on it, is there anything we can do to help? Those wx guys
are busy working away on the swig version of wxruby with renewed vigor
and rubyforge''s download stats have us neck and neck. We can''t
let them win! :)

See ya,
--

I''ve finally started checking in stuff and am getting pretty close to a
first release (I think).

Why are you particularly eager for this release? That is, what 
feature(s) in FXRuby 1.4 are you waiting for?

Once the code''s released, the main way to help is to pound on it and 
use the RubyForge bug reporting system (hint: not private e-mails to 
me) to report problems. Provide example code that demonstrates the bug 
when at all possible. Write tutorial documentation for other people to 
use, and answer questions on the mailing list when it''s a subject 
you''re already familiar with.

Stay tuned...

P.S. Don''t worry too much about the wxRuby crew. There are more 
important things in life to worry about. ;)
