## FireRuby 0.4.1 FireRuby is an extension for the Ruby language that provides an OO interface over the Firebird open source RDBMS C API. This is a maintenance release. Work on getting the library working on a 64 bit platform threw up some (ahem!) questionable code. This code was corrected and this release brings those updates to all existing supported platforms. A 64 bit Linux build has also been created and added to the list of available gems. Thanks go to David Walthour for getting the 64 bit version working. No new functionality has been added for this release and all existing functionality remains unchanged. As usual check the README that accompanies the release for more details.
