Hi

I’ve just released Ruby/Cares 0.1.0. This is a C extension wrapping the  
c-ares ([http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/](http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/)) asynchronous DNS  
library.

This is a preliminary release intended for getting feedback on the  
interfaces and on future functionality that could be implemented.

To install it:

# gem install ruby-cares

For manual installation, fetch the tarball on rubyforge and check the  
README file.

For documentation, see the project’s homepage:

[http://cares.rubyforge.org/](http://cares.rubyforge.org/)

I’d like to thank Guy Decoux, Nobu Nakada, Francis C. and Kent  
Sibilev for helping me out with my newbie questions about C extensions  
on ruby-talk.
