Just wanted to let everyone know that I posted a new version of the
icalendar library this evening. (Actually I posted two because I forgot
to check-in the updated unit tests before 0.96.1) This release has
support for custom properties defined with the ''x-'' prefix,
and I added
some missing properties for timezones so hopefully they work for
everyone now. I found that some properties were conflicting with
built-in methods in ruby, so now there is a convention: conflicting
property names have an ''ip_"(ical property) prefix.
In addition, the website should now have some more documentation on the
property methods. I''ve found that documenting and meta-programming do
not jive with each other. I think ruby needs some form of
meta-documenting so you can dynamically generate documentation. This
might be some type of instructions in the comments that tell rdoc how to
generate the documentation when it finds a certain symbol name? Not
sure yet...
Thanks for the help, and please send in any issues you have or
documentation you''d really like to see. Wouldn''t it be nice
if rdoc
could actually generate a wiki site so you could more easily add docs?
Although that might be hard to keep synced with the project unless you
could feed the documentation back into the source code... I guess this
could be hard.
