I’d like to annouce the release of iron-term-ansicolor, a port of  
term-ansicolor for IronRuby that makes use of the .Net BCL to get  
colored  
output in the terminal window.

I must give much of the credit to David Blackmon, who took the seed of  
what  
I started and ran with it, and Ivan Porto C., who integrated and  
refactored David’s work into the code base. This release would not be  
possible without them. Thank you very much, David & Ivan!

Known Issues:

With version 0.0.1, _iron-term-ansicolor_ only works for the very simple  
cases of changing the foregroud _or_ the background color, but not both  
at  
the same time. Specs and patches to implement the feature are welcome!

You feedback and patches are most welcomed!
