Gem-compiler 0.2.0 released

I’m pleased to announce the 0.2.0 release of gem-compiler project:

gem-compiler

A RubyGems plugin that generates binary (pre-compiled) gems.

Description

gem-compiler is a RubyGems plugin that helps generates binary gems
from
already existing ones without altering the original source code. It
compiles
Ruby C extensions and bundles the result into a new gem.

It uses an outside-in approach and leverages on existing RubyGems code
to
do it.

The result of the compilation is a binary gem built for your current
platform,
skipping the need of a compiler toolchain when installing it.

Installation

To install gem-compiler you need to use RubyGems:

$ gem install gem-compiler

Which will fetch and install the plugin. After that the compile
command
will be available through gem.

Changes:

0.2.0 (2013-04-28)
