Sorry for the frequent (daily!) announcements, but this one is  
rather important. I’ll keep future announcements to a minimum.

Thanks for your consideration.

= Version 1.0.3 (2006-09-19)

Ruby-IXP is an implementation of the 9P2000 protocol designed for  
use with Window Manager Improved. It is written in pure Ruby to  
avoid periodical calling of the wmiir command, thus improving  
performance. There is another full-blown 9P2000 implementation  
called Rstyx, but it’s rather complex and slow.

== Summary

This release fixes major stability issues.

== Notice

- IXP::Connection now requires an I/O stream for its constructor.

== Details

- Deadlock was occurring due to unnecessary thread decoupling and  
use of the Queue class for thread notification.
