It is my pleasure to announce that: Ruby/DLX 0.8.2 is now available for download from [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org). (Links at the bottom of this message) # Short Description: “No more ruby-C-extensions needed to use the shared C library of your choice in ruby, now you can do it directly in Ruby itself! Ruby/DLX shows how simple interfacing ruby with c-libraries should be. It is implemented as a frontend to Ruby/DL2.” # Demos In addition to the new release, there is now also a growing list of demonstrations: - ruby-sdl: A binding of libSDL/libSDL\_image to Ruby + simple demo - ruby-ogl: A binding of libGL/libGLU to Ruby + NeHe’s tutorials 02 and 07 to act as a demonstration - ruby-ode: A binding of libode/libdrawstuff (Open Dynamics Engine) to Ruby, with the TestBuggy as a demonstration. Again, all of the above examples are using only Ruby (Ruby/DLX), no specific library-to-ruby-extension-C-code-complexity was required. # Demo-bundle Finally, to setup Ruby/DLX and all of its demonstrations on your machine, a single ruby script called “demo-bundle” is released. You only need to download this script and run it like: $ demo-bundle- This will set up the latest Ruby/DLX and all of its demonstrations in automatically. # Links: directlink to demo-bundle (Ruby/DLX 0.8.2 + demos): \* [http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/9989/demo-bundle-20060419-21h27m08s-utc.rb](http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/9989/demo-bundle-20060419-21h27m08s-utc.rb) homepage: - [http://ruby-dlx.rubyforge.org/](http://ruby-dlx.rubyforge.org/) project page: - [http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-dlx/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-dlx/) download section: - [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=1147](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1147) Have fun! dpy
