wxruby users - Sep 2007 - wxRuby 1.9.1, wxSugar 0.1.17

I''m very happy to announce that new versions of wxRuby and wxSugar are 
now available.

== CHANGES =
* Merged nice ruby-style syntax options into core wxRuby
* Re-added support for StyledTextCtrl (Scintilla) component
* Added BitmapComboBox and RendererNative classes
* Fixed nasty bug which could cause instability in XML-loaded layouts
* Numerous other fixes and new methods in existing classes
* Figured out how to build on AMD-64 Linux
* Upgraded binary builds to be based on latest wxWidgets 2.8.5
* New and updated samples and docs

A full ChangeLog is included with the download. For fuller information 
on the new syntax options, see 
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/wxruby_intro.html .

== INSTALLATION =
gem install wxruby

NOTE: if you''re using wxSugar in existing code, please upgrade to the 
latest version at the same time as installing wxRuby 1.9.1 (gem install 
wx_sugar)

NOTE: We currently have binary builds for Linux (Intel) Windows (Intel) 
and OS X (Intel and PPC) We hope to have Linux (AMD64) added shortly.

== KNOWN ISSUES =
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=35

== NEXT STEPS =
For 1.9.2, we''re considering adding some additional syntax options from
wxSugar, then freezing the API. With some luck, 1.9.2 might be a 2.0 
release candidate.

== CREDITS =
As ever, this version''s only possible thanks to collaboration from the 
core dev team and other participants. Particular thanks to: Sean Long 
for ongoing support and providing many binary builds; Glenn Davy for 
working through the AMD 64 build process; Roy Sutton, who did the 
original work on wxScintilla; and to all those who filed bugs, answered 
queries and took part in surveys & discussions on the mailing lists.

Great.  Many, many thanks to yourself and all involved.

FWIW, I''ve just, in the last min, installed it on an i586-linux box. 
The nearest option being i686-linux.  I hope that this will be ok, and 
that nothing has been compiled assuming any instructions not available 
on a 586.  If this is expected to be ok, perhaps the install menu might 
reassure the reader by including 586 as well?

Anyway, thanks again.

Regards,

Alec
