What: IRB session in a GUI text widget, now with FXRuby and TkRuby  
support

Where: [GitHub - martindemello/guirb: Graphical IRB wrappers](http://github.com/martindemello/guirb)

Prerequisite: You need to build FXRuby from the source gem on ruby 1.9

Changes:

- Application-configurable behaviour when IRB exits, so that it can be  
used as  
a widget
- fxirb is back!

Wanted:

- Windows and Mac testers and developers
- People to tell me if their favourite GUI toolkit works with ruby 1.9!
- Bug reports and feature requests (and, of course, code contributions  
:))
