Forum: Ruby nokogiri 1.3.0rc1 has been released!

nokogiri version 1.3.0rc1 has been released!

Thanks to herculean efforts by my nokogiri partner in crime, Mike 
Dalessio,
nokogiri now works on JRuby 1.3.0RC1 via FFI.

To install this prerelease gem do this:

  $ jgem install nokogiri -s http://tenderlovemaking.com/

Then you should be able to do this:

  $ jirb
  irb(main):001:0> require 'open-uri'
  => true
  irb(main):002:0> require 'rubygems'
  => true
  irb(main):003:0> require 'nokogiri'
  => true
  irb(main):004:0> doc = 
Nokogiri::HTML(open('http://www.google.com/search?q=tenderlove'))
  => #<Nokogiri::HTML::Document:0xd8a125>
  irb(main):005:0> doc.css('h3.r a.l').length
  => 10
  irb(main):006:0>

== CAVEATS!

  * The JRuby FFI gem only works with JRuby 1.3.0RC1
  * You MUST install it from my gem server
  * The gem version will say 1.2.4, that is actually because I couldn't 
get
    pre release gem versions working.  Don't worry, it's actually the 
1.3.0
    release candidate.
  * You can get an MRI version and the JRuby version from my gem server, 
no
    windows support yet.

== ACCOLADES

  * Mike made this FFI monster happen!  I can't thank him enough.
  * Thanks to the JRuby team for making FFI work!

== CHANGELOG

  * hahahahahaha
  * hahahahahahaha
  * hahahaha
  * hahahahahahahha
  * You'll get to see the acutal changes when this isn't a release 
candidate
  * Or check out the git repository

This is really awesome...thank you for the extra effort on this, and I'm
sure any implementation that supports/depends on FFI will benefit from
this effort too.

My question for the rest for the rest of the extension authors, however,
is this: how can we help you start making a move toward FFI?
