Hello.

I’ve taken over a gem called win32screenshot from Aslak Hellesøy and  
released a new version of it after 3+ years.

Since this new version 0.0.4 has a lot of bug fixes and refactorings,  
then it’s name is “A Complete Overhaul”.

gem install win32screenshot

= 0.0.4 2010-05-27 - A Complete Overhaul

- Fixed a bug where taking of screenshots failed on some sizes of  
windows (thanks for the tip from Tony Popiel)
- Blocks should be used when taking screenshots for cleaning up  
resources after usage (Aslak Hellesøy)
- Changed library structure - it is now needed to require  
‘win32/screenshot’ (Aslak Hellesøy)
- Replaced Ruby::DL with Ruby-FFI for better VM support and less  
segfaults (Jarmo P.)
- Added Ruby 1.9.1 support (Jarmo P.)
- Win32::Screenshot.window restores window if it’s minimized before  
taking screenshots and brings it to the foreground (Jarmo P.)
- Changed some internal method names (Jarmo P.)
- Replaced Test::Unit with RSpec and made specs more robust (Jarmo  
Pertman)

PS! This version is not backwards compatible due to different method  
names and usage, but upgrading should be relatively easy nevertheless.

Hi,  
I’m trying to download this gem but now it’s not possible anymore.  
Do you know where could I find it?

Thanks.

What do you mean it’s not possible to download?  
“gem install win32screenshot” should be enough if rubygems is working.
