Hi

RbYAML, a pure Ruby YAML 1.1 loader and dumper is now available in it’s  
first infant version. It is based on Python code from PyYAML3000 and  
seems to be working fairly well, except for Unicode support, which isn’t  
there yet. The project will be updated regularly, and will also soon  
move to RubyForge.

The next step for RbYAML is integration with JRuby, which is the main  
reason for creating this system.

You can download RbYAML from here: [http://rbyaml.ologix.com](http://rbyaml.ologix.com)

Best regards
