AP4R version 0.2.0 has been released!

```
http://rubyforge.org/projects/ap4r/

```

Changes:  
== 0.2.0 (October 17th, 2006)  
\* Added: Protocols to invoke asynchronous logics  
\* Added: At-lease-once QoS

Now, asynchronous processes are called via various protocols, such as  
XML-RPC, SOAP, raw HTTP.  
Especially raw HTTP is very convenient, compared to XML-RPC which needs  
Struct class, or SOAP which needs wsdl definition.  
And using store and forward function, at-least-omce QoS level is  
provided.

If you have any problems please let me know ( or you can tell me at  
RubyConf ) .

== What’s AP4R ?  
AP4R, Asynchronous Processing for Ruby, is the implementation of  
reliable asynchronous message processing. It provides message  
queuing, and message dispatching.

Using asynchronous processing, we can cut down turn-around-time  
of web applications by queuing, or can utilize more machine power  
by load-balancing.

Also AP4R nicely ties with your Ruby on Rails applications.  
See HelloWorld sample application from rubyforge.
