I am pleased to announce the first public release of ruby-ip.

ruby-ip is a library for parsing and manipulating IP addresses. Compared  
to the standard library IPAddr class it fixes several serious problems,  
adds a bunch of features including support for routing contexts (VRFs),  
and yet is compact and easy to understand.

Gem: gem install ruby-ip  
Git: [GitHub - deploy2/ruby-ip: IP address manipulation library](http://github.com/deploy2/ruby-ip)  
Doc: [http://deploy2.github.com/ruby-ip/](http://deploy2.github.com/ruby-ip/)

Feedback is welcomed, especially any ways the API could be improved. I’m  
currently considering adding IP[“1.2.3.4”] as a shortcut for  
IP.new(“1.2.3.4”)

Regards,

Brian.
