         Ruby interface to the wmii window manager

            http://snk.tuxfamily.org/lib/rumai/

```

Rumai is a pure [1]Ruby interface to the [2]wmii window  
manager. Its name is a portmanteau of “Ruby” and “wmii”  
(which I pronounce as “vim eye”).

Version 3.3.0 (2010-07-16)

This release adds support for growing and nudging clients,  
adds an abstraction for status bar applets, and beautifies  
the source code.

New features:

```
 * Add Rumai::Barlet class for easier status bar applets. It
   exposes the new, independent colors and label attributes
   introduced into the bar file format by wmii-hg2743. It is
   also backwards-compatible with older wmii versions where
   the aforementioned attributes were conjoined.

 * Add Rumai::Client#grow and Rumai::Client#nudge methods
   [3]requested by Nathan Neff. See "The /tag/ Hierarchy" in
   the wmii manpage for usage information.

```

Housekeeping:

```
 * Add workaround for [4]wmii-hg2734 color tuple bug in the
   test suite.

 * Found real names for some anonymous contributors.

 * Clean up the source code formatting and organization.

```
