ri\_cal version 0.8.4 has been released!

- [http://ri-cal.rubyforge.org/](http://ri-cal.rubyforge.org/)
- 

A new Ruby implementation of RFC2445 iCalendar.

The existing Ruby iCalendar libraries (e.g. icalendar, vpim) provide  
for parsing and generating icalendar files,  
but do not support important things like enumerating occurrences of  
repeating events.

This is a clean-slate implementation of RFC2445.

A Google group for discussion of this library has been set up  
[http://groups.google.com/group/rical\_gem](http://groups.google.com/group/rical_gem)

Changes:

### 0.8.4 - 18 September 2009

Refactored load structure, should now be conforming to  
[Ruby on Rails — Gem Packaging: Best Practices](http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2009/9/1/gem-packaging-best-practices)  
I did finesse the load path issue a bit as a workaround to RSpec  
not putting lib on $LOADPATH  
the lib directory will get added to load path IF IT ISN"T ALREADY  
THERE
