I am pleased to announce the release of EMDRb version 0.1.0, a  
rudimentary implementation of a distributed Ruby server based on  
EventMachine. It’s available on Rubyforge at  
[http://rubyforge.org/projects/emdrb](http://rubyforge.org/projects/emdrb) but I must admit that it has thus  
far only been lightly tested and still a bit feature incomplete. The  
server implementation can already do all of the basic stuff one  
expects DRb to do, and presumably this implementation should be  
slightly more scalable than the standard distributed Ruby  
implementation in the standard library. This is alpha software, and  
is bound to have many bugs, but I think it might be best to release it  
to the public already and see how well it floats.

I’ll try to add a DRb client implementation for the next release  
within a few weeks.
