R-Bus 0.2.0 was released today, featuring support for winDBus thanks  
to patches from Cezar Sá Espinola.

R-Bus is a native implementation of the D-Bus protocol, with these  
goals in mind:

- Ruby + standard library is the only dependencies
- A Rubyish API, approach and way of doing thing
- Complete client functionality
- A comprehensive test suite

It supports all basic client functionality except exporting objects to  
a bus. Also, there’s a pure ruby version of dbus-send, called  
rbus-send, included.

It’s available as a RubyGem, tar.gz or from Subversion, all via the  
project page.

R-Bus homepage: [http://rbus.rubyforge.org/](http://rbus.rubyforge.org/)  
API docs, tutorial etc: [http://rbus.rubyforge.org/doc/](http://rbus.rubyforge.org/doc/)  
R-Bus project page: [http://rubyforge.org/projects/rbus/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rbus/)

Please give it a try if you are able, and report any problems to me or  
on the project page.

Thanks!
