RubyLexer version 0.7.7 has been released!

- [GitHub - coatl/rubylexer: RubyLexer is a hyper-correct lexer library for Ruby, written in Ruby.](http://github.com/coatl/rubylexer)

RubyLexer is a lexer library for Ruby, written in Ruby. Rubylexer is  
meant  
as a lexer for Ruby that’s complete and correct; all legal Ruby  
code should be lexed correctly by RubyLexer as well. Just enough parsing  
capability is included to give RubyLexer enough context to tokenize  
correctly  
in all cases. (This turned out to be more parsing than I had thought or  
wanted to take on at first.) RubyLexer handles the hard things like  
complicated strings, the ambiguous nature of some punctuation characters  
and  
keywords in ruby, and distinguishing methods and local variables.
