CHANGES IN RUBER 0.0.9
New features:
- It is now possible to have more than one open project at the same time
- When a project is active, only the editors associated with it are
visibile - Editors not associated with a project are visible only when there’s no
active project - Made the Auto End plugin recognize some other keywords: unless, for,
while,
until (the last two were already recognized when followed by a do)
Bug fixes:
- The RSpec plugin now correctly displays pending examples
- Fixed a crash when creating a new document and saving it as a ruby
file
while using the Syntax Checker plugin
FROM THE RUBER HOME PAGE:
Ruber is a fully modular IDE for ruby written in ruby using korundum,
the KDE
ruby bindings which works on Linux (and should work on other Unix-like
systems)
Fully modular:
Except for the basic infrastructure, all of Ruber’s functionality is
provided
by plugins. This means that any user can easily augment Ruber’s features
by
writing his own plugin. He can also replace functionality provided by
the
plugins coming with Ruber in a way which integrates seamlessly with
Ruber
itself.
Written in ruby:
Ruber is written in ruby, and so, of course, are its plugins. This means
that
its users already know the language needed to extend it. A very
different
situation from, for example, Netbeans where you’d need to learn Java to
write
a plugin for programming in ruby (in other aspects, Netbeans is a good
IDE,
with very nice plugins for developing in ruby).
Using the KDE ruby bindings:
Ruber uses the wonderful KDE ruby bindings, which makes it expecially
suitable
for people using a KDE desktop (but can be enjoied also by users with a
different desktop). In particular, Ruber makes use of the excellent Kate
part
for the editor window, meaning it has the extremely well-written ruby
syntax
highlighter and most of the tools Kate itself has.
If you try it, please let me know what do you think.
