Hi, The Ruby-GNOME2 project released Ruby-GNOME2 2.0.0: [http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?News\_20130429\_1](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?News_20130429_1) Yes! It is 2.0.0!!! This release includes Windows binary included gem for GObject Introspection based bindings. For example, Ruby/GStreamer and Ruby/Clutter are these bindings. I decided that using “2.0.0” for this release because we can continue to develop Ruby-GNOME2 based on GObject Introspection. GObject Introspection based bindings work well for simple usage but complex usage will not work well. Especially, object ownership related work will not be stable. If you find memory leaks and/or double-free SEGV, please report it to us. Since this release, Ruby/GStreamer is based on GObject Introspection and supports GStreamer 1.0. But old GStreamer 0.10.x support is dropped. If you want to use with old GStreamer, please use old Ruby/GStreamer. == Help us! === About Ruby/GTK3 Many sample programs for Ruby/GTK3 aren’t migrated from Ruby/GTK2. They reports many warnings. We want to migrate all sample programs from Ruby/GTK2. We want you to help us for the work. Here are work flows to start the work. % gem install gtk3 % git clone removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid:ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2.git % cd ruby-gnome2/gtk3/gtk-demo % ruby main.rb # reports many warnings % vim xxx.rb # You fix warnings and errors # See Ruby/GTK2 version program to confirm the expected behavior: # % cd ${RUBY\_GNOME2\_TOP\_DIR}/gtk2/gtk-demo # % ruby main.rb # And see also the original sample programs in GTK+ 3: # [Sign in · GitLab](https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/demos/gtk-demo) # We may have some missing samples. If you find some # missing samples, please port it to Ruby/GTK3. We are happy that you send a pull request for the work. The above work flows for gtk-demo but there are more samples in gtk3/misc/ and gtk3/testgtk/. We want you to help us for the samples. === About GObject Introspection bindings We want to replace existing bindings by GObject Introspection based bindings. If the bindings is GObject Introspection ready. To be specific, first we want to replace Ruby/GStreamer and Ruby/GooCanvas with GObject Introspection based bindings. Ruby/GStreamer is almost replaced but many minor APIs aren’t confirmed yet. We want you to help us for the work. GStreamer and GooCanvas has many API. So their bindings aren’t completed yet. Their bindings are still “experimental”. And their bindings don’t support the latest version yet. If we get GObject Introspection based bindings, we can support the latest version semi automatically. Both developers and users will be happy. To be specific, we want you to port sample programs for them to Ruby. We want you to port sample programs of GStreamer and GooCanvas to Ruby by requiring those bindings. Here are work flows to start the work. For GStreamer: % gem install gobject-introspection % git clone removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid:ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2.git % cd ruby-gnome2/gstreamer % vim sample/xxx.rb require “gst” Gst.init # Port a sample % ruby -I sample sample/xxx.rb You can find samples for GStreamer at [http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/tests/examples/](http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/tests/examples/) For example: [http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/tests/examples/helloworld/helloworld.c](http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/tests/examples/helloworld/helloworld.c) For GooCanvas: % gem install gobject-introspection % git clone removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid:ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2.git % cd ruby-gnome2/goocanvas % vim sample/xxx.rb require “goocanvas-gi” # Port a sample % ruby -I sample sample/xxx.rb You can find samples for GooCanvas at [demo · master · GNOME / goocanvas · GitLab](http://git.gnome.org/browse/goocanvas/tree/demo) And we want to use GObject Introspection for new bindings such as Ruby/WebKitGTK. There are the bindings but it doesn’t have ported samples. We need to port WebKitGTK+ samples to create usable API. Here is work flow to start the work: % gem install gobject-introspection % git clone removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid:ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2.git % cd ruby-gnome2/webkit-gtk % vim sample/xxx.rb require “webkit-gtk” WebKitGtk.init # Port a sample % ruby -I sample sample/xxx.rb We are happy that you send a pull request for a sample. You may find a sample that can’t be ported well. If you find it, please tell us by pull request or sending an email to this mailing list. The sample may use a feature that is not implemented in Ruby/GObjectIntrospection. == Install % gem install gtk2 % gem install gtk3 == Ruby-GNOME2 2.0.0: 2013-04-29 GObject Introspection based bindings on Windows support release! === Changes ==== NEWS - Fixes - Fixed a typo.
