Jeroen, As best I can tell, FOX 1.7.x has been the development version of FOX for 2.5+ years (with FOX 1.7.1 released in July 2006). I know that you generally don''t like to set schedules and that "it will be done when it''s done", but do you have a rough idea of how close you are to rolling the development branch over to a stable (presumably 1.8?) release branch? I am asking because there are some aspects of FXRuby''s guts that I have intentionally put off changing until FOX 1.8 goes live (and as you already know I decided awhile back not to try and track the 1.7 series since the API is in flux). Just curious, Lyle

It hasn''t reached the goals I''d set for the 1.8 release, as a result of the lack of time [and energy] due to my home construction project. Fortunately that will be drawing to a close in the next few months, and I should be able to resume the pace at that time. In the meantime, I do believe you''re right, and that its worth it to focus on converging the current code into a releasable state, wrap up a few loose ends, and get it into shape for the 1.8 release. Regards, - Jeroen

Lyle, Is it your opinion that FXRuby and FOX are pretty much dead? Would you care to give an overview of what is happening and what you think will happen?
