UPnP version 1.0.0 has been released!

- [http://seattlerb.org/UPnP](http://seattlerb.org/UPnP) - UPnP documentation
- [http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=5921&group\_id=1513](http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=5921&group_id=1513) - UPnP bug  
reports

UPnP-1.0.0 is an implementation of the UPnP protocol. The 1.0 release:

- Discovers UPnP devices and services via SSDP, see UPnP::SSDP
- Creates a SOAP RPC driver for discovered services, see  
UPnP::Control::Service
- Creates concrete UPnP device and service classes that may be  
extended with  
utility methods, see UPnP::Control::Device::create,  
UPnP::Control::Service::create and the UPnP-IGD gem.
- Does not support eventing
- Does not support server creation

UPnP comes with `upnp_discover` which searches for UPnP devices and  
dumps information about them and `upnp_listen` which will listen for  
device notifications.

I think there may be a dependency problem with your GemSpec. The UPnP  
gem wouldn’t work until I installed the soap4r gem, it should probably  
be a dependency.

I got the following error:

irb(main):001:0\> require ‘UPnP’  
Gem::LoadError: Could not find RubyGem soap4r (\>= 0)
