SapphireSteel Software has just released version 1.1 of Ruby In Steel  
Developer - the professional Ruby and Rails IDE for Visual Studio 2005.

Version 1.1 of Ruby In Steel Developer consolidates the features of  
version 1.0 which was launched in January. It includes the ultra-fast  
‘Cylon’ debugger with step-into/over, drag-and-drop watch variables,  
drill-down debugging, hovering debug tips, call stack etc.; syntax  
coloring and code folding for Ruby code and RHTML templates; integrated  
project management in the VS Solution Explorer; plus powerful analytical  
IntelliSense.

The principal differences between versions 1.0 and 1.1 are increased  
speed and stability of IntelliSense, a variety of bug fixes and  
improvements to the editor and debugger, better support for servers  
(Mongrel, LightTPD, WEBrick), better integration with the Visual Studio  
Solution Explorer, new dockable point-click-and-run Generate and Rake  
windows and better documentation (100+ pages in PDF files plus the  
integrated help system).

For more details, see the Developers’ Blog:
